BTS - PARADISE (PRODUCER FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@AmariLeone]

"BTS stands for "B-Sides That Slap" I'm sure of it at this point" - Amari 😹🦁

[@fuckingmozart]

The rain thingie is called a didgeridoo 💜 Your rant about the quality of BTS Bsides reminded me of something RM said once, I can't remember the exact quote but to paraphrase it was something like "we want to be a group that is known not for their singles but for the entire albums"... I do feel that gate keeping Paradise is crime against humanity and that this song deserves better tho, I'm still salty that they never performed it live! 😂 Peace!

[@rafaelsmith5737]

Bro, I have the exact complaints as you 😭. If all artist or group's popular songs gets accidentally deleted, BTS is completely safe. 😂 Also another fun fact, my favorite songs of BTS are all B-sides, and those songs are songs that they never sang in their entire life, not even once. Like Paradise, Louder than Bombs, Heartbeat, Sea. It's very sacrilegious honestly, but I'm actually not complaining. Cause I'm already satisfied that they release it.

[@SimplyAnca7]

😂😂😂 You might be right.

[@mariajin4957]

That's what BTS means to me now😊

[@CloudedLeopard8588]

Well said. Their best music is definitely the b-sides (in my opinion). By the way, yes all the sides are way too good, better then most others artists a-side. Sadly if they released all their b-sides as singles they would have over 200 singles. I don’t mind if they did, but for sure the b-side always do it for me and what makes them stand out more than their main tracks.

[@BangPDsMom]

Paradise is one of the top three songs that ARMY wants to hear them do live in concert. Agreed that the b-sides are some of the best songs in the BTS discography-songs like Butterfly, Rain, Louder Than Bombs, Tomorrow and literally a hundred others deserve major respect and a music video.

[@AmariLeone]

The fact that they've never performed this masterpiece is crime against humanity #2! These fellas are on thin ice with me now you hear me!!! 😭😭😭

Exactly! BTS makes ALBUMS that I listen to, not just title tracks. 💜

all praise for paradise is well deserved. bts are damn near criminals for never performing it live. I hope when you give it a few more listens you take in the lyrics because its also what makes it a fan favorite and it also kinda changed my life when i was in college lmao. classic bts putting out a song that exactly matches what you're going through

Jimin SLAYED in this song……🔥. They all were soooooo good……but Jimin got to barely take a breath in his verses and he was fantastic! This song is at the top of my list of favorite songs and I pray they pull some of these songs out to perform live OR do an MV (including Louder Than Bombs) when they return in 2025🙏🏻💜

[@AmariLeone]

Indeed he did!!

[@Itm449]

I’m with you, most of my fav BTS songs are B sides. B-sides That Slap 🤣 - facts! Tomorrow, Rain, Paradise, Hold Me Tight, 134340 (who does a song about Pluto losing its planet status? BTS, that’s who!), Look Here, Love Maze, Come back home, We on, Am I Wrong, 00:00, and Whalien 52 (and who sings a song about a whale that calls on a different frequency than all the others? Yep, BTS!), Ma City, Paldogangsan, on and on.

[@7Flowers1Dream]

Ikr?! 134340 & Whalien 52 are candy to my science-oriented mind. Paradise & 00:00 feed my soul, and I think Paldogangsan is genius and supremely underrated.

[@gastonjf1]

Its the genius of BTS. You tend to be lucky if you like 3-4 tracks on an album, BTS destroy that idea. Every single album is full of amazing tracks to discover. Thats just sheer talent ,hard work and dedication. Almost all of my favourite songs are album tracks that just turn you inside out and slap you round the back of the head. House of cards still gives me chills at the very first note!

[@lynettezimmerman2144]

This is my #1 BTS song!!!! Paradise holds a very special place in my heart and the next BTS tattoo is based off this song!!!

[@AmariLeone]

Oooh when you get it make sure to share it with me!

[@lillianbarbieri7771]

So, this is a beloved song for Army that was never performed Live 😢 And it is a b-side of the amazing Love Yourself Tear (yeah, the same álbum of singularity, fake Love, 134340, Truth Untold, Tear and other great songs). They really went on the Studio to Record this album and said Yes to emotional destruction and music greatness

I love the b-sides way more than the title tracks. Maybe because I’ve heard the title tracks so many times. This song is very special. What a great message too.

[@AmariLeone]

That very well could be it! The b sides have the feeling of a movie you don't see talked about as much as big blockbusters but still love dearly

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

A song that is such a deep cut BTS themselves have forgotten about it! Regardless its beloved by Army if only because its one of only a small handfull of songs we have never heard performed live.

[@AmariLeone]

PAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!

[@ichiinuzuka]

I'm always so happy when someone loves this song! Paradise really changed the way I was going through life. I cried like a baby the first time I read the lyrics. It felt like it was written for me. 🤧

[@tstone1056]

Agree about the B sides. They are amazing and could easily be title tracks. All of their music is amazing

[@fifiroukine5331]

I do agree, I really like their singles, some a lot, but I looove their Bsides. You said FACTS.

[@bree77301]

I mean... When you see that a song like House of Cards is just a b-side and not a title track, you realize that they also make an effort to provide great quality for the non-main songs 🙌🏻

[@TeeAichTee]

much to the dismay of most army bts have never performed this live, we've been begging for years. paradise is part of probably my favorite bside track order progressions of bts' albums maybe even of all time. love yourself:tear album 134340 > paradise > love maze is and elite track order. sometimes i will just play these three songs in this exact order several times a week. there is a meme going around on twt/x right now of a tswift fan crying outside the concert because the song she loves most comes on and she isn't getting to see it live - army keep using it with songs that would make them feel that way if they miss the bts comeback tour. for me if i were outside a stadium - unable to score tickets and i heard jk sing 'marathon, marathon ' i swear i might just decide to pass away right then and there - missing paradise live would be a crime. suffice to say paradise if very loved - glad you finally got a chance to give her a listen.

[@aminakookie5235]

I agree 100% with everything you’ve said ( even with your point on dynamite) paradise is my favourite BTS song ever

[@tastefullyrics4895]

they do that on purpose rm said he wanted to make music that people listen to entire albums b sides especially bts want that so they did that and still do that for every album both group and solo. i tried to find exactly where he said it but i couldnt but anyways he said that most artists especially kpop dont really pay attention to the album like you said but bts always made sure that every track is just as important as the title tracks. please continue/start the rise of bangtan series youll learn a lot about them through their own words also please react to their disney docu series bts monuments beyond the star youll learn a lot (obv can only be on patreon) but many of your questions youve asked in multiple reactions would be answered by bts own words instead of armys telling you. :)

[@AmariLeone]

Yeah it's super obvious when someone releases throw away fluff as b sides versus when someone puts a lot of effort in on them. And yeah I'll have to check those out

[@kceleste4140]

Wake Up is another slept on banger from their Japanese album of the same name

[@cnot4948]

I actually like that their B Sides are even better than their title tracks. It's like opening a present. With most artists the title track is the gift wrap to make it look good but when you open it up to check out the rest it's 'here's your 5$ coupon. With BTS the wrapping looks nice and then you open it up to find the keys to a Porsche.

[@AmariLeone]

Hahaha the coupon gift analogy is perfect!!!

[@AllergicToPink]

Loved your reaction! This is my favourite BTS song and it is criminally underrated. The fact that it's never been performed and the members themselves seem to even forget about it guts me 😢

[@katherinerickel173]

I love your reactions! I completely agree with you about BTS B-sides. As much as I love their singles, it’s their other songs that I have on repeat.

[@AmariLeone]

You get me!!!

[@marissamcwhiter9381]

BTS...b sides that slap! I totally agree! I needed a relaxing weekend so I decided to listen to their whole discography, in shuffle, from debut to whole of chapter 2. I also placed each songs on tiers so I wrote them all down in a notebook... what a lovely weekend I had listening to all their songs because there is really no skips! All these songs are amazing, title tracks and B sides! It was heavenly...I highly recommend this...if will put you in a great mood!

[@melgaye0]

You are not wrong. It's the b sides. It's always been the bsides for me too. I appreciate they lored me in a little bit from a title track but my top five are all bsides. 💜💜 This is in my top five.

[@AmariLeone]

Okay weird analogy time but you made me think of it so don't blame me: Their singles are like the light on an anglerfish, they lure you in closer and then *CHOMP* you get snatched by the teeth of their b-sides

One of my favorite BTS songs (not just b-sides)! The minute the credits were teased before drop and I saw MNEKxBTS 🤷‍♀️ I knew. I just KNEW it would be 🔥 🥇 👏 Like, these 2 forces combined couldn’t go wrong. Seriously hoping that another collab comes our way in the future cause this song IS PARADISE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💙

[@AmariLeone]

Yes me too cause this right here is FIREEE!

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

Sooo as recommendation (I looked if you saw any if this and didn't see): Maybe edm: So what, Best of me, Am I wrong, Stay. My personal recommendations: 1. My second favorite BTS song after Paradise "Tomorrow". 2. My favorite Suga collab, "Suga's Interlude" with Halsey (it is actually on her album). 3. Telepathy - bc I think this song is not enought talked about, but it is great sweet track. (And I won't hide that alk this songs have in common something - producer - our genius Suga, but I really like his style (and it was his birthday 😋)) Did you react to most jazz BTS song there "Rain"? I don't remember, so it may be something for you 😉 But some more from me: Also solos from "Wings" album, you saw Lie and Stigma, so maybe do rest members, songs are: Begin, First love, Reflection, Mama, Awake. Also Love Yourself series solos I know you saw Singularity and Serendipity, rest solos are: Euphoria, Trivua: Seesaw, Trivia: Just dance, Trivia: Love, Epiphany. Then if we go into "Map of the soul" albums, you watched solos My time, Filter and Outro: Ego. Rest solos that you didn't see are: Intro: Persona, Interlude: Shadow, Moon and Inner child. (Shadow has MV, but song on album is 1 minute longer and have second verse, that they cut from MV)

[@bitterswee7__]

There's a video by the producer of the song, how he created the beat and info about the track

[@AmariLeone]

Oh I have to watch that!!!

[@LaidyJezabel]

B sides are my favourite too. The great thing is that it makes their entire albums worth listening to., not just the title tracks. I very rarely skips tracks. Have you reacted to Dis-Ease and Louder than Bombs yet? I'll have to check your list. 💜

Yes I have reacted to both of these & I believe they're here on the channel!

[@agnieszkam.1378]

I understand you perfectly, why are their b-sides so good? Personally, I have to admit that this song is one of my favorites, and I think my top 10 of their songs are mostly b-sides. 💜💜💜

[@babbes4210]

BTS have used the strategy of releasing a more pop main single to appeal to the general public and reel in the new fans with the quality of their b sides. a bit like a trojan horse i suppose. They say: come in for the easy and entertaining pop songs and stay for the raw rap, gut wrenching ballads, political commentary and self love dressed in samba flute and funk. They cleverly use the general public's preconceptions of a korean boy band to work with them, instead of rebelling against the stereotype point blanc. Still hoping they do something with Ska someday. BTS as extended their name to : Beyond the scene when they rebranded for the international market but hardly anyone ever uses that name. Another of my favorite ones from BTS is :Home . I think you might like that one too as many others. Would advise to just go through their entire discography.

[@AmariLeone]

Yes yes beyond the scene was the one I'm thinking of but I like my "B-Sides That Slap" better lol 😹

[@AmariLeone]

As someone who's listened to full albums from a variety of different k pop groups I am going to have to politely but strongly disagree; The trend for many K Pop groups is to put significantly less effort into their B-Sides and really only add them as filler to be able to charge more for the project.

@ 6.5 LOUDER!!! their B-sides will most definite be my ult fave songs of their albums, always. With the exception maybe of Tear that had Fake love as their single which is a great song. I suspect they do this since when they started they were getting hit+flop+hit+flop and their hits were their most hmmm poppy songs? love songs, upbeat, easier to digest for GP. Not that their B-sides wouldn't be loved by GP though? I mean I was GP before I heard them in 2017 so hello?? not all of us are complete tasteless clowns
