Metal Vocalist - BTS Dimple / Pied Piper Lyric and Live REACTION

[@d-codebts5749]

In fact, they wrote "Pied Piper" after someone told them that some fans skip school or work to watch their lives. BTS got worried for this fans and wrote this song for them. It's inspired by the german tale "The Pied Piper", the story of a man who can controle rats with the melody of his flute. He helps a village but they refuse to pay him after that, so at night, he came back and control the children to drown them. So in this song, they are seductive but in the same time, the lyrics say "We know you love us and we love that. We do what we can to put a spell on you, but we don't want to drown you. Your life is still a reality that you have to take seriously."

[@JohnReavesLive]

I think it’s awesome they put their fans personal lives into account with their music too

[@chere100]

What's really crazy is that pied piper thing is based on a _true_ story. I was really shocked it wasn't just a total myth.

It is just an adorable positive relationship 🤧

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

The sheer flex of RM as a song writer, writing this song after years of Army saying how much they love his dimples, and then having the vocal line sing it. While the dance and hip thrust while eye smoldering. I stream if eye smolders were an Olympic sport our vocal line would take gold. Pied Piper just makes me giggle like mad. Korean Army were so worried BTS thought they were slacking off not studying they started posting their report cards and grades (even the college students). These guys live to tease and troll Army I swear, it’s a different relationship than I’ve seen others have with their fans.

[@JohnReavesLive]

BAHAHA!!! listen, they 100% need to make Eye Smoldering an Olympic sport! so much better than freaking badminton or whatever its called! LOL

But since like 2 years (basically since the start of the pandemic) I have been listening to BTS almost exclusively... I am OBSESSED. It's like they put a spell on me or something, I don't understand it either. It's a little crazy. But I'm happier, so I don't care, lol

"Do they do a lot of dancing in this?" Body rolls. Body rolls for days. This performance is ARMY kryptonite. This is the same set as the DDaeng vocal line performance that you reviewed before. Their concerts are wildly emotional - the guys are crackhead goofballs and like to mess around and mess with the audience. Interestingly, I came from Nightwish ARMY over to BTS ARMY (only two groups I have tattoos of), and what caught me about both of them is the lyricism and imagery created. RM and Tuomas are both geniuses. I recommend Spinebreaker.

Jimin wasn’t always a singer. He’s a contemporary dancer. So just like Jin, jimin learned to sing pretty much from scratch. And had the shortest training period. And to respond to the auto tune comment. Auto tune doesn’t make you sound better. You have to have a good voice to begin with, the auto tune just adds to it. It’s not needed in bts but used to enhance the song.

@@JohnReavesLive When everyone are singing really high (including him), which is just sheer talent in itself.. and then suddenly one hears the deepest of deep voice.. it just hits different. In some songs he goes up and then low in a single line.. how he does that is beyond me. And as for the rest ( speaking about the vocal line here ), each one of them can do certain things that the others can't. Which is why every song has a different member that shines in it. Same goes for the rap line. Each one of the 7 members can go solo in their careers and thrive. All of them in one super group.. ( adding the bond that they share with each other) they were bound to conquer the music industry. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ok, I need to stop typing 😅

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying the Korean. It’s their native language and they shouldn’t be pressured to sing totally in another language. It’s also fun to start picking up the language. Jungkook is the band’s centre so most of their group songs pivot around him. He also sings most of the song guides before they get together and decide who will sing which part. Add to that he does a lot of the adlibs. Except for Jin the vocal line are all part of the dance line. RM loves his dimples and wrote, Dimple, to feature them. At the beginning of Pied Piper you can see those dimples in full forces. You’re description of the technical differences between studio and stage performances was very interesting. Don’t you just love the way they work the stage cams too? Smouldering into the camera is a speciality of theirs.

[@JohnReavesLive]

for real though! its like the cam is another person in the crowd and I love how they use it, it makes the viewer feel more involved with the show!

[@suzannemarrero1274]

JK is Main vocals. The rest of vocals line arr considered lead vocal, but Main vocals is above that. JK will usually record the "guide track" so the rest can hear it. He also performs a lot of the background vocals, harmonies and ad-libs. He has a silky voice that is oh so lovely and is best at keeping it steady while dancing. He can also rap and can fill in (and has filled in) for any of the members if needed.

i was worried when I saw which songs you were reacting to as I thought they would not be your cup of tea. But I loved the fact that as a performer yourself you were able to discuss technical aspects like their vocal range and educate us about vocal volume. I really enjoyed your reaction. And, yes, I am pretty sure that the pied piper metaphor- in the pipe reference was intentional and has more than one meaning! I first watched this with my daughter and was even slightly embarrassed at my interpretation of the lyrics- especially as they are all smouldering into camera at the time. Not enough appreciation is given to their ability to use camera in a live performance- just another skill on top of everything else they do.💜

Jimin is unique from most male singers. He actually projects more in his falsetto and upper mix. You'll notice as you see more that he has "difficulty" bringing out his mid and lower register. It's always fascinated me. But, as he has trained both his breathing and his voice, it's not really an issue anymore. I think, early on, he just didn't utilize his breathing as well. Before anyone comes at me, I am OT7, Jimin bias. Doesn't mean he was BAD, just recognizes how hard he has worked.

Both are good songs though so I hope you will react to them. Jin is the member you’ve least mentioned in your reactions and he’s often overlooked because he’s not technically the best dancer nor technically the best singer in the group (I say “technically” in the literal sense, as in technique). He was scouted and asked to join the group because of his good looks and it’s often made him feel as though he is a less valuable member than the others. In fact, his struggle with Imposter Syndrome is what prompted him to write Abyss. Anyway, he’s my bias (if you can’t tell) and I hope you’ll give him a listen.

One the best things about BTS is people who are not into pop or any Kpop they have something for everyone. Their lives are much better in my opinion then their studio versions. They are one of the hardest working groups from day one, and it has paid off for them. Thanks for breaking down everything and I love even though you are not a pop enthusiasts you are giving BTS a listen.

[@JohnReavesLive]

:) heck yes! thank you for saying so! and yeah, since making this video, I have been humming the melodies lol! the DANGERS OF POP!!!!

[@yagmur3476]

BTS is one of the rare groups that has the ability to sing perfectly live. after that You should react to the song Crystal snow. Their voices can be heard very clearly live

Really stoked to hear that one live!! I love good musicians 🙌

[@faithiee]

@@JohnReavesLive and be sure to pay attention to jin in crystal snow... his triple high note is incredible. and i've noticed you haven't said much about jin yet, hopefully, that changes soon :)

[@VioletSkylovesKimTaehyung]

I used to be an RnB hoe. I would say more than 80% fave songs tend to be in that genre. But BTS, man.... they're something else. The voice I 'listens' to the most, simply because his is what I FEEL most for is V. That deep, honey, soulful, warm molasses, sexy vibe voice was what pulled me in this Bangtan hole for life, not gonna lie, but each of them ARE SO PERFECT. I know they all have worked HARD to improve their voices (and performances) over the years. I've been listening to them since 2017. And their harmonies, definitely GOD TIER. Man, I love them. Oh yeah... My Pipe Awakens!! LOLLL

[@JohnReavesLive]

Lol thank you for sticking through till the end!! They are all truly talented and I couldn’t agree more!

[@leahwarburton]

If you want to check out more from the Vocal Line, I really recommend House of Cards, and The Truth Untold. They are very different styles of songs to Dimple, and Pied Piper. But they are amazing. Also, I just want to say that I am enjoying watching your reactions, and I look forward to seeing more. Borahae 💜

[@JohnReavesLive]

:) thank you so much Leah! for real I love making these and will be doing a House of Cards one very soon!

[@Dashomin]

also another cool video to check out is "Jungkook Doesn't Know AutoTune" to see the pitch of one member of BTS or BTS - Jimin Best Live High Notes & Raspy Vocals (fun fact: jimin is one of the members who have the highest pitch up to a lower pitch of a female)

[@JohnReavesLive]

That’s insane and Freakin Awesome he can hit so much for a range

[@sarahy1680]

I'm enjoying your analysis of studio vs live singing and the constant fight between tone and power while doing live. Some reactor/vocal coaches (I believe one was Big Brain Singer, who has an opera background) have talked about how the techniques for mic'd vs unmic'd vocals differ and noted how well BTS use the former. It really allows them to exploit their full ranges while singing live, makes the most of their variety of tones, and contributes to their ability to cover so many styles and genres.

[@JohnReavesLive]

right?! I love the live shows as playing a ton myself (mine was mostly screaming in a metal band but also doing clean vocals) and its a constant push and pull between power volume and pitch! its like vocal chess and I love it!

[@suzibp8074]

Dude, it’s like magic how they cast a damn spell on us. I’m a Gen-X who was soo into rock and alternative for new music and I fell HARD. Now I crave Cyphers and Pied Piper daily. High quality music. Glad you enjoyed. So much there. And in Korean ❤

JK is the main vocalist of the group that's why he sings the most and always at the center too as he has the most stable voice while dancing.

I saw Magic Shop in your recommended at the end of the Dimple video and I would love to see you react to it. It was written by Jungkook and it's dedicated to ARMY and one of my favorite BTS songs ever. It has all seven members in it, so there is rap involved 😉. It also has a live performance. It is definitely more of a pop-edm song, but the beat is something that always makes me move. Magic Shop was the song that changed me from a casual listener to ARMY. My pipe awakens 😂

Ayo fellow cajun! Hi from southern Louisiana! Just found your reactions and binged them all lmao. Something I like to point out to people bc so many don't seem to realize this about Pied Piper is that RM is the only one actually reprimanding us, the fans, for focusing too much on them and not ourselves. Everyone else is feeding into it and trying to seduce us. RM is the warning and the rest of BTS are the Pied Pipers. At least that's how I always took it. They're so evil for this one haha.

BTS evolve their music so much at the beginning they were a hip hop group because bts was kind of created with RM in mind as bang PD signed RM first but they slowly change their sounds but to this day they have some songs that still have some of their old hip hop days.
