THEY DO NOT USE AUTO TUNE UNLESS IT IS INTENTIONAL! Please stop saying it on every reaction you do. They use very little auto tune if any at all. That is their voices and yes they are that good. Korean performers work so much harder than other countries to perfect their singing and dancing. For some reason you are just not able to believe they are that good of singers. Also, all three rappers did solo projects and they can all sing very well too.
Dios mio cálmate que se te va a reventar una vena. Es verdad que son buenos, que saben cantar, que no llegaron hasta donde están sin esforzarse ni sacrificarse y que son excelentes personas pero eso no quiere decir que no usen las herramientas del medio también, y no tiene que ser nada malo si lo usan de vez en cuando y con propósito y por sobretodo que ellos no ocultan nada. Algo no debe ser perfecto solo porque a ti te gusta, hay que dejar de idealizar a las personas que nos gustan porque solo los presionamos a ellos y hacemos que se sientan mal. Además luego sale cada loco queriendo que sean como ellos quieren que sean, como si fuesen muñecos. No son dioses y el tipo que está reaccionando si bien es obvio que no se espera que siquiera puedan cantar tampoco está siendo irrespetuoso y solo señala lo que escucha de manera didáctica. No todos te atacan
He’s been reacting to enough videos to know this he just doesn’t want to believe it. And constantly going on about the rap line being able to sing 🙄🙄
@@vine1976 And I am noticing, he almost everytime refers BTS as a vocal group. Like, they have 4 vocalists & 3 rappers, they are a music group, making different kind of music in different genres, singing, dancing, rapping, producing, composing, writing, they do lots of stuff. But he mostly misses many things.
Don’t worry…we all get a little smitten with Jimin 😂💜
They are The Very First to be allowed to film a Music Video in the UN. I've been there. The place is usually humming with people. But they shut down that main room for them! However, the beginning was probably filmed at night. I was a tourist there a long time ago. They do allow tourists to observe and walk through the balcony. You do feel the presence of all the countries represented there. The history. The grandeur! But they were there during the pandemic. Very few people there. One of the backup dancers shared on video what is was like to be chosen. No one did a physical in person audition. They cast dancers who knew somebody. Had connections. They already knew they could dance and perform well with BTS. But she said the security clearance they had to go through was intense. You had to have a spotless background! Because they had to be cleared for a top security clearance...a world security clearance. Because people all over the world were there. And they all had to be tested for covid. No sickness. They were tested again the day of the filming. Many didn't clear the International Security clearance. And some tested positive for covid. And even if you had a cold you weren't allowed in. She said she felt so lucky she made it all the way through to final cut!
no i think it was during the day because a backup dancer was sitting outside waiting and he explained it in a yt video he was an army so it was a big deal for him. after the first room was recorded they came out and jimin greeted the dancer and then after that they moved outside and did that part. but it could be early in the morning. it was filmed right before the live speech. and i believe you se daylight in the behind the scene video from it.
It was done in two sessions I think. I remember a bangtan bomb of them being there as soon as they got off the plane and then they had to film the one outdoors during daytime. It was long day for them.
JK did that run, JK is the ad lib man here. The other guys have dabbled in doing that, but Jk is the expert ad libber. So proud of him. JHope is so good a vocalist, he just lacks confidence in himself as this is new to him. He emotes so beautifully. He’s my bias, she says with pride….💜
Agree. JK's adlibs are incredible. He's the best. In my opinion, even in Kid Laroi's song Too Much, JK's adlibs made the song.
Agree. JK's adlibs are incredible. He's the best. In my opinion, even in Kid Laroi's song Too Much, JK's adlibs made the song.
I also love the adlibs on their In The Soop song, that was so fun and hilarious!
@@chencaloI literally watched that for the first time yesterday. JK’s adlibs when they were making it were on fire.
JK is amazing at the adlibs but so is Hobi. The two are often used on tracks for layering of vocals, adlibs etc. as well.
Yeah Jimin ATE THAT. After the run too, singing so softly. Wow
JK is the king of ad-libs for BTS...He adds and suggests so much of them in their songs
King of vocals Jungkook
The run you talked about is Jungkook!!! He does majority of the adlibs, runs, and harmonizing with the other members! Great reaction.
mmm you are right about this specific run, but all of the vocal line members do adlibs ;)
Jk and jimin with their ad-libs
I could swear you reacted to their Tiny Desk, didn't you? Hobi sang there! Maybe it was when you were learning names and didn't realize. Always learning something Nathan! Reverb! I had no idea!!! Thanks for continuing the fall.......💜
MV was filmed over the pandemic in Korea while their tour was cancelled where as this one at UN they are finally able to travel and perform with a crowd might explain the lighter mood
JK did the run that made you jealous 😁
Perfect pitch JK
Please react to Stigma LIVE (V), Serendipity LIVE (Jimin) , Euphoria LIVE (JK) , Awake LIVE (Jin). I think they all have subtitles in the presentation.
this was filmed hours before there 3rd speech at the UN They appeared there on there Diplomatic passports. the behind was great
And if you happen to see their disney + documentary, when they filmed this performace they did it again and again (when they notice even just 1 second late of steps) until it turns perfectly. No room for mistake for these multi talented 7 boys 💜.
That run guy was jungkook he has such a good vocal though
If I remember rightly they flew in and had to do this recording very early in the morning. Then they had to speak to the assembly. Don’t worry about being distracted by Jimin. It’s called the Jimin Effect and few can avoid it. The behind the scenes of this is interesting and one of their support dancers did a video explaining how he got the job. Some of the runs were Jimin but I think that run you were taken with was JK.
They did do it in morning, didn't they said they got right off the plane and straight into make-up for the indoor scene? I think they said that the dancers that met them were so energetic and cheery that it cheered them right up too.
Thank you for also react to this version, which is personally my favorite. Did you know that part of the choreography is done in sign language too? And I agree with you, I see them as very fun and relaxed.
Jimin is such a great performer
How interesting that the building had EXACTLY 7 exit doors! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This video was presented to the UN members after the BTS' members speech. This was their second speech at the UN. Both are very good! I'm sure you'd like to listen to them 😊 (we'd love to watch you reacting to them 😅)
Third speech, I believe.
@@MarilynPF It was their 3rd speech for the U.N., but the 2nd speech at the U.N. One of the speeches was virtual due to the pandemic. The original poster was technically correct. 😊
I think it is perfectly understandable that you have been distracted by Jimin 😂😂😂😂💜💜💜
this is a Ed Sheeran song that he gave to BTS to sing, he had previously given them the song "Make it right" as well. BTW BTS are amazing songwriters in their own right is there anything they can't do lol. I doubt it. I am a &TEAM stan (another Hybe group) but BTS will always have a special place in my heart. like millions worldwide we wait their safe return in 2025
Also, at 10:47 mark, watch as they line up. You see their back and they are stretching their arms out as the camera pans around to their front... Not only are they singing, but they are also singing in sign language. They done this in other songs, but they incorporate signing throughout this entire song (you'll see it best in the official mv,) because they wanted EVERYONE to have Permission to Dance. Love these guys.
9:15 that vocal run that you like was jungkook. its so interesting when u mentioned about the part of nuances to make the song come out more alive. thank you again for reacting, love your analysis! 🥰
I always love seeing professionals react to BTS, to get insight into the making of it and all, but also to see them be wowed at the talent and amazingness that they are. Love this!
🌈BTS...MY RAINBOW OF HAPPINESS.
Maybe they were feeling more free. This was the first time they had been able to go outside of Korea since the pandemic started. What I thought was interesting is that they did play this video for the General Assembly after their speech. If you remember Permission to Dance and the MV was about coming out of the pandemic and taking off the masks and just living. And they not only danced in the UN but then showed it to all of them and the pandemic wasn't over yet! Yes epic! You really should watch the first time they were at the UN and RM spoke about their love yourself /speak yourself campaign. It truly shows why he is the leader. So eloquent. Glad you got to watch this. 😀💜
8:48 ~~ That ad-lib run is Jungkook. At that time, Jin sings the na na na~ part. If you watch other live videos, you will know A lot of the ad-lib parts in BTS' songs are from Jungkook. You can see that Jungkook is almost always included in the chorus of every BTS song.
I’m really really liking your channel Nathan. You’re so intelligent when it comes to music. Your Fake Love was awesome. I’m going to keep on you till you do Jin’s Epiphany at a concert. Lol. Have a great day 💜💜💜💜💜. Also watch BTS singing Fix You. By Coldplay. They did an Amazing Job
@ Nathan Walters, I think this is the best version of Jin's Epiphany live- kzhead.info/sun/h8lxoN2oqWWPqqc/bejne.html&start_radio=1 at Wembly Stadium. Really showcases what he can do. Thank you
@@ToniaBartlett-jv2gb thank you I Love that one too. 💜💜💜💜💜🥰🌹🌺
@@wandalewis5097 Lets hope it works :-)
He did Fix You already! kzhead.info/sun/iK2zgd18qqGYjGw/bejne.htmlsi=ezoKpDv_7GyW9_8c
jungkook did that adlib and he is always amazing😍💜
The reason BTS was singing at the UN ... is a long story! In 2017, BTS and Big Hit Entertainment wanted to do something to improve the lives of children around the world. They chose to partner with the Korean and Japanese committees for UNICEF, to raise funds and awareness to further the work of UNICEF's campaign to #ENDviolence. They launched a hashtag #BTSLoveMyself. Over a 3 year span, it was used over 14 million times across various social media. They made a large initial contribution, and also put into motion fundraising strategies: contributing 3% of all income from physical album sales of the Love Yourself series (Her, Tear, and Answer) giving 100% of all sales of official Love Myself campaign goods setting up donation booths at BTS concert venues This was the beginning of events that led them to speak at the UN 3 times, including this most recent time, when they presented Permission to Dance. 2017 - Initial campaign video: kzhead.info/sun/lJWgac18jqKtp4U/bejne.html Translation of Korean in video: We dream A world without violence Children and Youth’s Shining smile Fearless Tomorrow The first step To realise love in me To love myself To love the world 2019 - Global campaign video: kzhead.info/sun/eNOYndNtrXNtp68/bejne.html www.love-myself.org/eng/journey-of-love-myself/ 💜
Over the years BTS have spoken at the UN General Assembly on three diffrrent occasions. You should listen to RM's famous "speak yourself" speech at the UN.
Los chicos son sencillamente increíbles. Jimin su voz, su forma de moverse me hipnotiza.
Can totally relate to the Jimin comment 😂 but yeah, Jhope has a really good singing voice.
The did the recording hours after arriving to the US and started it dawn until the sunrise before the working hour starts in the UN then did the speech in front of the delegates afterwards. BTS was issued special envoy passports for this event. This is btw their 3rd time to deliver speech in the United Nations
as I'm missing bts a lot it makes it hard for me to decide what to watch sometimes, but seeing your videos on my feed enables me to relive these moments happily 🥰
Here's the deal, all 7 BTS Members are all-rounders. They all can sing, rap, beat box, dance, play instruments, & run sound boards. You can hear J-hope sing during the BTS Tiny Desk Concert. Also, just a FYI: If you watch the Busan Concert, Jhope comes out on that stage and is on Fire. He also kills during the performance of UGH & Cypher 3. Last: On Jimin's new album, FACE, he plays the guitar.
I hope your react jimin song 'closer than this' thnks😊
Also remember it could be the tone of their voice because English is their second language. I think it’s cute how it makes their voices sound a little different when they sing because I’m so use to hearing them sing mostly in Korean.
The lobby is a lot different than the Assembly Room. It's got circular walls surrounding the assembly room, a floor of tile or marble instead of carpet, and is much, much higher. It has an echo. Inside, world business is being conducted and people have to hear each other. The lobby is an entrance, you should hear the noise when the excited 2nd graders come to see all the flags and the curvy wall. BTS's main public charity is UNICEF (United Nations Childrens' Educational Fund) and their cause is ending violence against children and anti-bullying.
Yeah i think the same, the outdoor is a recording in a closed door studio and the timing of Jimin and Jin putting away the mic was a bit early than the lyrics. But still its their voices with less musical instruments. BTS 💜
Nathan please react to to the permission to dance LA or BUSAN concerts. You will hear that they are 100% live
I love the nuances and break downs you give us with the production etc. Most people who are “former” boy band members don’t have the knowledge you do. It’s refreshing because I can tell you are truly enjoying this versus trying to get clout. Also welcome….i have been watching all your videos and it’s fun to watch you go down the rabbit hole and I see you becoming Army haha! You may not realize it yet but you are haha! 😂💜🫰
He doesn't seem very passionate yet sometimes so I don't think he's Army yet
@@SY-fp6ng I said becoming Army not full Army yet. You can see the progression lol
In the introduction to BTS videos they specify that J-Hope is a rapper and sub vocalist. Jungkook is the main vocalist (not Jin) and Jungkook is a sub rapper (in some of their earlier songs like Danger and their debut song, No More Dream). Jimin and Jungkook do most of the ad libs and backgrounds. BTS has two songs that have no rapping...all of the members sing instead and those two songs are Dynamite and Permission to Dance.
Fun fact... The last choreo moves are Sign language... 😊 "dance" "Fun" "peace"
Thanks for this reaction😍.There a behind the scene video of this performance.So all members can sing and they all can rap too, There is a live performance of DAECHWITA and CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP where all members are Rapping.please watch it too.its really fun to watch it ...and please check out their solo works( Rapline)where you can see them singing too.
I feel like it's a little bit generous to say all the members can rap to be fair, still really fun performances to watch!
Yeah, Jin: popping, popping, popping... They can't all rap, but Jin and Jimin have fun trying. 😂
@@niknik314el exactly lol, as long as they're enjoying it, I love to see it
@@niknik314el oh sorry, thanks. Yeah that iconic "popping popping popping "😂,they mentioned it in their live too😄 But I think they have really tried in daechwita performance and there is a live performance of ddaeng where also they tried their rapping😊 and there is Tae's cypher pt 3 performance which was his dream to perform.We can watch it in their "Bangtan tv" channel.its also unforgettable and fun to watch😃
. Actually they started as a hip-hop group so they all can rap. There's actually a live version of the vocal line rapping Ddaeng. It's really good.
Ive been a fan to Backstreet boys, FIVE Plus one your group. But i never loved an artist like i love BTS. they are the best and the most talented boyband of all time.
Jungkook is the king of ad libs since he is the one that does most of it in BTS. Most likely it’s Jungkook singing when you are hearing the adlibs in BTS songs. He probably adlib more than songs you find in western countries. It’s believed he has perfect pitch since he rarely sings out of tune. You should react to a fanmade video called Jungkook doesn’t know auto tune. It shows him singing in outside concert performance situations like in his room singing for fan requests or backstage singing without any music playing, etc…
Thank you for your reaction 💜
Jimin’s lie I think many people had suggested you to react to Jimin’s lie Please do this reaction video
I always listen to Jin during live performances, because he has more pops and air sounds when he sings live. That is how I tell others to distinguish BTS live. Thank you for all the reverb insight. I would really love to hear your producer thoughts on Don't Leave Me by BTS. I find it very curious and beautiful.
I appreciate your commentary as an experienced singer/musician, so your reaction adds to my learning curve about music and m/v production. Thanks!
BTS is the very first to perform inside the UNGA. They have been invited in the past to deliver speeches but on that year they were invited not just deliver their speeches but was permitted to record and perform inside the UNGA. And yes no other band has done that before. Only BTS.
There have been other singers who have performed at the UN Shakira, Beyonce, Palestinian pop singer Mohammad Assaf, Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil, and Indian Carnatic singer M.S. Subbulakshmi. But BTS is the first group to perform there.
You should watch the new docu series about the band (BTS Monuments : beyond the star), there are a lot of insights on the band's evolution, struggles, and key moments, which new fans are not necessarily aware of ! Especially that UN moment, which came right after they received diplomatic passports from the Korean government !
JK is so good at runs and ad libs. I believe he did the run you referred to and not Jin or Jimin. They all did so good. This video makes me smile every time I watch it.
While you don't pay much attention to their lyrics and overall message, it's really uplifting and with their popularity, it got the attention of the UN. So they are there to relay their message and have given multiple speeches. This was during their 3rd time at the UN. Really a nice song. Also JK is the king of ad-libs but Jimin does some really nice adlibs too. lol. I wish Jin did more, when he does them I just love it but he doesn't do it often.
I adore you and your BTS reactions. I love seeing your trip down the rabbit hole. I don’t think anyone has ever performed here before either. Just one of the many aspects of the wonderful journey is not only performances in unique places, but also three unique and powerful visits to the United Nations to speak and their visit to see President Biden and support the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m sure you have also heard of the power of ARMY in that regard and others. BTS’s movement for unity in all ways and the Love Yourself campaign have changed many lives. One exam’s when BTS donated $1,000,000 to Black Lives Materr and ARMY matched it in 24 hours! Keep going. I am enjoying the ride with you. Be well and blessed.
The MV was filmed while we were STILL in lock down so of course they are a bit more subdued. This one was filmed live with actual people dancing with them so yes, it's more lively and they are having big fun!
I'm learning! And I love it 💜
That run is 1000% Jungkook. He is really a fantastic singer. I know Jimin is your favorite (and he is fantastic as well) but I am hopeful that you will see how talented Jungkook is too. V and Jin as well.
It was Jungkook who did that run. Although you might hear some adlibs from Jimin and Taehyung on occasion, Jungkook primarily does those adlibs.
Nate, did you notice that Suga can also sing?
The rap line also can sing,sometimes they are the second voice of the vocal lines😊
Enjoy your reactions so much! I have checked out some of your older stuff and I love that someone with chops and experience is reacting to BTS!!! I have said all this before...Keep it up!!
Since you often talk about the production side of things, you might be interested in reacting to some songs that Suga has produced. "Stay Alive" by Jungkook is one of my favorite songs produced by Suga. The production is cinematic (it's a soundtrack for their webtoon) and Jungkook's vocal here is fantastic.
This song is a masterpiece. Written and produced by Suga and masterfully performed by JK
You didn't seem to catch they each exited the building and there were 7 doors total, perfect, meant to be
J- Hope and RM are my favorites voices. So unique, mainly, interesting. But I love all of them - so diffrent from each other - perfect combination!
Did you know that part of the choreo is sign language so that everyone can understand their message, participate and get comfort during the pandemic? You must love them! 💜
He is to ego to notice that
@@mariepettersson6422 And your ego?
This was the first video i watched of them. And the rest is history💜💜💜
Nathan ..😂😂😂 amo como te explota el cerebro cada que reaccionas a sus voces ... 💜🫰😭 Esa fuè la reacciòn de ARMY cuando este video salió.. Ellos son geniales 🥰🥰🥰
Love your perspective on videos and performances, and I know you are recently active with BTS, but just a FYI, most runs, harmonizing, riffs, adlibs, background vocals, etc., are done by the main vocalist of BTS, Jungkook. Their roles are listed as the following: RM is leader and main rapper, J-Hope is main dancer, rapper and sub vocalist, Jin is vocalist and visual, Suga is lead rapper, Jimin is main dancer and lead vocalist, V is lead dancer, vocalist and visual, and Jungkook is main vocalist, sub rapper, lead dancer, and center. Just to clarify (because it confused me initially), being the “Main” is higher than “Lead”.
V was added in dance line BUT not as Lead Dancer , but as a dancer.
think I never was so early :D great reaction thank you Nathan! would love to see your reactions to more of the solo songs as well :)
They were there as So Korean ambassadors to all do speeches at the UN regarding sustainability AND I think this was one of the first times they performed around actual people WITHOUT masks…..so the freedom and pure joy they were exuding was genuine for them💜 if I remember correctly…..the US restrictions were lifted much earlier then their own country so they weren’t able to experience this type of freedom back home🥺
Nathan can you react to Airplane part 2. Please😊
That's so nice you asked very politely some people are unaware of how things look in print and just say "React to ____"
The choreography they do in addition to singing live blows my mind. I like how J-hope’s voice is “quieter” than the others. (not necessarily in this song, but just in general)
he wont react to anything hoseok puts out lol i doubt he pays any attention to him
Fact: BTS has Korean diplomatic passports. They also spoke before the U.N. Assembly.
I appreciate your insight as a producer and your breakdown of the music. Great job
Thanks! The reverb analysis is very helpful. I like all the inside baseball…always want to learn a bit more.
So glad seeing more BTS reactions from you!
Did you mention that this BTS choreography includes ASL (sign language)? So they are singing, dancing and signing. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
💜Always a great to listen to your extra knowledge on music and production efforts
might i suggest watching several of the epic mama or mma awards show performances in their entirety to get a grasp of the level bts can take things. there will be a compilation of bts songs and performances of a half hour or more that often get clipped on vids, a spectacle where american awards shows can't even compare.
For me i like it when it's more sound like their natural voices or raw. I don't like it when they edit BTS's voice so much that it make it sounds like they're lip syncing, when they are not.
Nathan to you and your family "Happy New Year"! Waiting for your next cover. Thank you for your reaction. Hobi has a wonderful singing voice. Fyi Jin and Hobi will be out this year from their ms. Jin in June and Hobi in Oct. You have a Lovely Day...✌💜
The oohhh sound wasn’t the crowd 😢, it was Jk. The king of adlibs😅😅
Theey also did a speech. Ibelieve originally they wer going to perform it with the U N in session.
I think he should watch the ones wherein BTS are guests on shows like Jimmy Fallon, SNL, Ellen, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel so you can see how good their live as well
Thank you for your insight into the production side. I always learn a lot. I would love to see you react to "Save Me" or "Fly to my Room." Those are my all-time favorite BTS songs.
BTS лучшие во всей вселенной!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
One of the best performances ever
The UN video is so much better than the original PTD video fs
Me encanta saber todos los detalles que sin que tu lo menciones nosotros no nos daríamos cuenta pero odio que por miedo a Army te tengas que disculpar por todo o justificarte para que no se enojen, si el analisis es real sin malas intenciones y del que podemos aprender al menos en mi caso yo no me enojaría, sino que lo agradezco. Además eso no va a hacer que amé menos a BTS. Algo no tiene que ser perfecto para que lo amemos y esa banda y cada uno de los chicos nos dio mucho
Thanks for another BTS reacting. Keep on going....
Thanka for the reaction. btw, kpop band not focus just on vocal, but ofcourse they need to sing live, kpop need to focus all, their performance, visual, vocal and syncronize dance.
Thanks for your honest reactions. There's a behind the scenes making of if your interested
❤❤❤❤bts maravilhosos
☺️That's actually the third time being there at the United Nations.. They visited the White House too last year. They've accomplished a lot. i'm so proud of them.👍
Not just performed. They have spoken 3 times. Check out RM’s speech.
Maybe they have different "reverbs" because of the size and acoustics in the assembly room, the glass lobby, then outside? Would that make a difference?
