Classical Musicians React: Jonghyun 'Aurora' vs 'Orbit'

[@pearlescentblue]

"This is really a sexual song." ---> the whole She Is album is sexual in nature. 🤣

[@michelstephanygarces9431]

Literally 😂😂😂 that's what Ivlove about it the most too

[@jae8329]

Ooh, can't wait for Moon reaction if they ever would in the future😂

She Is is basically Jonghyun being horny on main

Yeah. Almost impossible to wait for the magnificence of suit up

[@mashikyukyu8519]

thank you for always remembering jonghyuns birthday and anniversary date ❤️✨ as a shawol it means a lot

[@ReacttotheK]

Ofc ❤️ I became a Shawol the same month Jjong passed away, and I’ll never forgive myself for not checking out SHINee’s discography earlier. Ever since then, I’ve been trying my best to send as much love and support their way as possible :’)

[@epifanny]

@@ReacttotheK Don't beat yourself up about it. I think music comes to us when and as we need it. I'm a long-term Shawol but I've noticed that over the years music hits different depending on what's going on in my life.

[@redcandle5325]

@@ReacttotheK it's sad that you couldnt get to know him and Shinee before he passed away. But you know, the best thing about Music is, that it lives on forever. And because Music expresses everything the composer and singer is thinking of, people in the future who didn't get a chance to witness him as a Singer performing, can still appreciate the work he has left behind.

[@isabellastewart1577]

@@ReacttotheK don't worry I became a Shawol just 2 years before he passed, I will always love him and SHINee it's makes me happy to see the other members looking happy and I hope Junghyung & SHINee's fans will never forget his Amazing music and voice 😁

[@michelstephanygarces9431]

Moon, Aurora, Cocktail, Red, Orbit are my main favorites 😍🔂🔥

[@pitter_patter7536]

the space trilogy from she is (orbit, moon, aurora) is some of jonghyun's best stuff really. truly inspired! i love the lyrics so much too, "like a colorful curtain fluttering" is one of my favorite lines from anything. it's just such a simple but striking metaphor. also now i kinda wish they'd listened to moon too, to complete the trilogy but also because it's def the sexiest hahaha

[@MusicDoesChange]

pitter_ patter “space trilogy”, i love that so much 🥺

[@sam.xcz23]

I love so many artists but Jonghyun is special. He makes me /feel/ the music. It’s like when I’m listening to his songs nothing else exists other than the world his music creates. I feel engulfed in the atmosphere he creates. There is something so indescribably beautiful and haunting about being able to do that with music. You could tell he puts all of his passion into singing, something I don’t see in many artists. I still feel connected to him when I hear his music.

[@BrunoOSPires]

I Totally relate to thissss

[@JoanaRodrigues-tc5ek]

I loved this video! I'm really glad the reactors seemed to be having fun while listening to these songs. And YES: She Is is probably the sexiest album out there in k pop right now, it's full of "baby making music". No wonder this is the 69th reaction video of the season 👀

[@ReacttotheK]

I found myself incredibly sad and missing jjong all day yesterday till I started editing this! Then I lost myself in the fun 😊❤️ I hope many Shawols are able to laugh and smile bc of this video!!!

@@ReacttotheK That would be amazing if the chance arose! DEEZ is world-class.

Brilliant. SM is lucky to have him as an in-house composer/producer. And Umu, if you're unfamiliar with how to navigate melon.com, I did a little write-up on how a few years ago, on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/kpophelp/comments/7kyz1e/where_can_i_find_album_credits/drihx1w/

She Is album is extraordinary. Period. #HappyBirthdayJonghyun

[@Sakura-chanMotC]

Thank you for this! For having people enjoy his music and vision without preconceived notions. It's so humbling to see that and it gives me an insight into what his process might have been like when writing his songs. Like when it's digested by people who study music and catch on things I might have overlooked, it makes me see the songs in a whole different way and see how meticulous and purposeful each note and lyrics and instrumentation was. Like Jonghyun is a genius, and hearing these kinds of comments and reactions proves my point. Thank you for always remembering Jonghyun and keeping is artistry alive.

[@kaylagr]

we love you Jonghyun!! we miss you so much, but you will never ever be forgotten!

[@kikichan7687]

“Baby making”😂😂😂

[@FlamingDiva]

Jonghyun's music really pulls you in and there's no other artist that I've heard who does it like him. Like I have to remind myself that I'm walking down the street and need to watch for cars when the songs he wrote come on cause my brain can't focus on anything else. Jjong's songs are so special to me and I always enjoy seeing those who really understand music react to them. Thank you Umu for this treat! If Henry wants more baby making music you should give him Moon and Suit Up to react to. (btw, Jonghyun called his own songs good for baby making on BlueNight radio and I can't help but think of that)

I just had a wild idea. Would there be any teachers interested in doing a special video? Like honestly I would be so interested in their reaction.

[@tofupacman]

So, I recently finished student teaching and teach on the weekends... and almost every react vid I've thought: "Could I use this in a music class?" and have to sift out the stuff that would get me in trouble with an administrator. If Umu ever wants to do a Music Educators React vid, you bet I'll be up for it (along with Charlotte, Peyton, Leah, and others).

I have always been a Shawol but to my regret didn't really listen and get into Jonghyun's solo music until after he was gone. I only ever listened to his title tracks and it wasn't untill he was gone that I went back and listened to all his albums in their entirety and I was blown away. Even someone like me who knows nothing of music can see that he poured his heart and soul into his music. I'll never forget him I will remember him for the amazing person and artist he was. His voice is amazing and it was a huge loss to the world. May he rest in peace and know that he is loved and missed by so many not just for his music but for the wonderful person he was.

[@Pineapples88]

Glad that to see you still remembered Jonghyun and made videos about him. I would like to recommend another song from Jonghyun, “Crazy (guilty pleasure)”. This is a song from his first solo album “Base”. Before becoming an idol trainee, Jonghyun was used to be a bass player in a band. Therefore, “Crazy” is a relatively rock n’ roll song, which is rarely seen in K-pop. Hope the channel can video reactions to this song.

I have requested this numerous times, but can you PLEASE react to his live performance of “Y? Si fuera Ella”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHXFYWWfqLV5mZI This is one of my favorite live performances of all time...by ANY artist. It really shows how much emotion Jonghyun put into his performances. Also, I would love to hear your reactions to his songs “Elevator”, “Let Me Out”, and “DIPHYLLEIA GRAYI/Skeleton Flower”.
