Metal Vocalist - BTS MMA 2018 Live Performance ( REACTION )

[@jessicat-i6f]

this is not really a concert, rather a Award Show, but everytime BTS just turned it into their fckng Concert!!!!!!! Thank you so much for appreciating Jimin!

[@ttasyatiara]

When u said theres no way Suga's gonna perform Idol with a mic in his hand, and Im waiting w a smile in front of my screen waiting for u to be surprised 😂😂😂😂

[@JohnReavesLive]

Lol right?! He’s just impressing me constantly 🤯🤯🙌🙌

[@sunshinesam6399]

This live show is so Iconic! The way they introduced each song was great! Fake love was so satisfying to watch, and IDOL was just something else! Jimin actually received an award from a Cultural Conservation Society for his performance but with the fan! Dancing with a prop is hard to do since a dancer has control of their body, they loose some control when dancing with a prop. It was executed perfectly and I can’t imagine being in the crowd that night

[@JohnReavesLive]

Right!?!?!? I would just ascend to another level after seeing that! lol

[@sunshinesam6399]

@@JohnReavesLive pov of john’s ascension: John is in the crowd that night and hears 1 second of Fake Love before he magically starts levitating while a bright light shines down on him. Armies around him are freaking out that a guy is floating but are still screaming “FAKE LOVE!” at the top of their lungs. Meanwhile Meghan is recording the whole thing …I don’t know why this is so vivid in my head but FREAKING TOODLES!

[@houseofalex]

I watched a dancer’s review on Jhope vs Jimin dances - they described that Jhope dances in straight powerful lines whereas Jimin in curved flowy lines.. like aerobics vs yoga. Both are the best in their own elements

[@JohnReavesLive]

^^^^ I love this!

[@sinevins]

I just watched that too, it was a good video.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Beautifully described and I totally agree. 💜😊👍💜

[@ZariDV]

That's so true. I agree with that being their dominant dancing style. I love that they have just enough range to do the opposite when a dance calls for it (even if their natural style is still seen in the foundation). Like in J-Hope's Idol solo, he still had a flowy, delicate quality even as he was popping and locking. Then Jimin's hip hop training shows in how hard he pops in his Fake Love solo and the chorus part even if he's still very airy in his movements. It's amazing watching them move.

[@PJMloverJulie]

The chant you hear in the back is a chant army does for every performance or concert they do right before the songs starts they start off with the leader and the rest of the order goes oldest to youngest: Kim namjoon (Rm) Kim seokjin (Jin) Min yoongi (suga) Jung hoseok (j-hope) Park jimin (jimin) Kim taehyung (v) Jeon jungkook (jungkook) BTS

[@JohnReavesLive]

I love it!!!!!!

[@Isavlrr]

jin is the oldest and im pretty sure rm is the 3rd oldest..

[@PJMloverJulie]

@@Isavlrr yes but it’s starts with arm because he is the leader then it goes from oldest to youngest

[@Isavlrr]

@@PJMloverJulie ahh okay my bad

[@jerseybultaoreune6107]

Jimin is one of the best dancers. Full stop. He's a phenomenon. Jimin dances from his toes to his fingertips, utilizing all of the space available to him with impeccable technique, breathtaking starts and stops, his commitment to emotional expression - and the fluidity of it all?! 🤯 I'm convinced that Jimin is a conduit: when he dances, something moves *through* him... He is beauty in motion. 💜

[@Cookie_moonlove]

6:30 Yes and not only in BTS, Jimin is an amazing dancer period. Not only technically but the way he expresses feelings through dance. He is 1 of the 2 main dancers in BTS (the other is j-hope) and he has danced a long time before joining BTS just like j-hope. Jimin did majored in contemporary dance but is trained in many different types of dance both classical and other.

[@JohnReavesLive]

^^^^ I love this!

[@leahwarburton]

Jimin's Fan Dance...😍🤩🥰 Just WOW!!!💜💜💜 This gained him a Plaque of Appreciation from the Korean Traditional Fan Dance Preservation Society. Apparently his performance sparked renewed interest in the art form, World Wide!💜💐

[@larewi6765]

The other thing about the fan dance is traditionally it is performed by women, not men.

[@ProProcrastinator108]

When people talk about appreciation of RM, Suga n J-Hope they don't mean it in comparison to the vocal line tbh. They mean the acknowledgement of their talent. There is ofcourse no comparison between rappers n vocalists. Thing is people forget the rapline is the spine of BTS when it comes to lyrics n the messaging of the group. It's understandable that the performance aspect n the beautiful singing can be overwhelming. But we can never forget that what set BTS apart was the social commentary through their lyrics, the messages n the depth in their lyricism. And that's 95% the rapline. They write their own verses n RM writes lines for vocal line too. That's why it's extremely important to realise n give props to them atleast equally. Great n honest reaction as always. Keep up the good work n stay jovial💜

[@bellacandilada4145]

Totally agree.💜

[@Just_Bevie]

Not sure if it's in the comments below, but BE was completely done by BTS. It's 100% them. They divided up the tasks, from production, visual concepts (V), to even the packaging design (Suga), etc. This was their gift to Army during the pandemic. I hope you enjoy this precious gift from Cindy. Borahae 💜

[@mlynlim5337]

Amazing talented men❤

[@ericweinman9447]

The couch scene shown here was from Spring Day. Look at RM. He still has the crown on from an earlier scene in that mv.

Suga actually prefers to have a handheld mic as much as possible because the one worn isn't comfortable for him (ear scar), also he holds it in his left hand which helps protect the left shoulder from too much movement (it used to be injured for years, he underwent a surgery in 2020)

[@fi0rella]

they're singing their fanchant! it's their names in order of age, except Namjoon cause he's the leader so they start with his name: Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS (it's 8 in total so it fits many many maaany parts of many of their songs!)

[@JohnReavesLive]

I love it!!!!

[@msmichellewinchester]

I actually love RM's singing voice. He doesn't sing often but when he does, he sounds sweet and calming. And there were occasions where I didn't even realize it was him singing, because it sounded so different from his usual tone.

[@susantham7665]

Agree 100% 💜💜💜

[@iDoNtHavEThiNk31]

[@bob8675309666]

"Idol" is such a beast of a song. They did a performance of this where the cameras show other idols sitting and watching the performance and the whole area that they are sitting in starts to visibly shake. I think "Idol" is the song that nearly collapsed the stage as well. BTS goes hard on "Idol".

[@clairejin1704]

yes, that's correct. I forget whether it was a concert or award show but I remember watching the performance in-person and thinking there was an earthquake but turned out it was just bts dancing too aggressively

[@h.vgavriel5838]

This Idol performance is legendary ! J Hope and Jimin are both the main dancers in BTS. In my opinion, they are the best dancers in all the Kpop industry . Jungkook, the lead dancer, is pretty good too, and very impressive, since he have no background in dancing, before he became a trainee under Big Hit (of corse, he only have 13 years old ! ) . This three are named "the 3J" and have some performances as subunit that you should check. I really admire J Hope's skills. As a street dancer, he is the best in popping/locking/isolation. His moves are sharp, very precise, he embodies the rythm. He is also the faster to learn a choregraphy, he see everything, and play the rôle of a dance leader . But my favorite dancer is Jimin, he is the best when it comes to contemporary and modern dance. His dance moves are all in fluidity, sensuality and curve, he is the best to express feelings and emotions. He win some titles of "best Kpop male dancer" or "King of pop" , have the nickname of "rookie bible" because he is the role model of a lot of young Kpop group, his choregraphies (in Lie et Serendipity) are even used to rank the dancers at the end of there trainee period. He is also known outside the Kpop world for his dance skills. In conclusion, J Hope always amazed me when he dance, but Jimin mesmerized me, he is beauty and poetry in motion. We, Army, are such a lucky fandom to have 7 crazy talented and loveable young men in one group ! NB : and the scene with the guys on the couch is a part of Spring day MV NB2 : my other fav Idol performance is Jimin Fallon but the 2020 one (on line, in hanbok) , not the 2018.

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

Well said...i totally agree 💯

[@ds-zd9qz]

i honestly belive that J hope is top 3 in Kpop past and present. Jimin is amazing too, but Jhizzle is in my head a TRUE street dancer that could easily be freestylin real pro dancers and killling choreo.

[@PJMloverJulie]

In my opinion I think jimin is the best dancer bc I like contemporary dancing more so I think that’s also why he’s my bias but j-hope’s popping and locking are on another level

[@JohnReavesLive]

lol ^^^^ real talk! I totally agree!

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

@@JohnReavesLive John i totally recommend you to watch "Jimin's legendary fancams" compilation video by "JEM-JIMIN" highly highly recommend that vid! You would see why Jimin is main dancer along with hobi in the group!!! Plz

[@kunst7958]

Jhope’s isolation skills are among the best in the world.

[@kunst7958]

@@JohnReavesLive I appreciate this kind of reasoning. Because who ones favorite is is subjective. And if your guys love Jimin’s dance, then he’s “the best” for you👍🏼 However their choreographer always says it’s Jhope without hesitation. And he also learns choreography the fastest. In my own opinion I think Jimin’s strongest side is when he’s dancing on his own. Solos! And not choreographed group. That’s just my opinion. (And my personal favorite is 100% Jhope, because I’ve never seen anyone dance like him)

[@ot7stan207]

Jimin is the most expressive dancer as a modern dance student. Jhope is the most precise as a street underground dancer

[@JohnReavesLive]

lol my daughter had me watch a video of Jhope dancing fighting someone on the street and he totally owns the guy, it was amazing, I love Jhope!

All the dance liners have very different styles and strengths as do the rappers and the vocalists. I feel that it's exactly because they're able to combine all those different strenghts that they're this amazing together. 💜

[@sumayaalrushaid1706]

That's what makes them unique and unrepeatable..there will never be another such a band anywhere. Each has superb talent and as you said the combination of all is miraculous.

[@kthsantisaresuckingmydick.748]

in the introduction u watch (Taylor) said the positions of each one. jimin is main like hobi, so is obvious he is one of the best dancers, not only in the group, but in the industry his name is so recognized and has so much respect. him's so versatile because he learned hip hop and contemporany, but with all the years bts has, also learned or did in his own more styles. and for more, along with hobi, is so incredible how he is like a sunshine on the scenario, u cant stop watching him!💜 But even if is famous, in the fandom some people forget his position and dont talk about how power of main Jimin has too. He's so humble with it too, we are just dying everyday with his moves, and him will just be like: "thanks...?😳👉👈"

[@JohnReavesLive]

100% ^^^^^ when they just sink into the stage, its a show stopper

[@leahwarburton]

To answer your question John, as far as I am concerned, Jimin IS the best dancer.💜 But then maybe it's just because I love watching him dance so much. His grace and beauty, his fluid bodylines - it all takes my breath away.😍💐💜

[@JohnReavesLive]

He's so freaking good! I just found out Jhope is the Dance Leader, which makes sense but they are all amazing!

[@lisacsarmiento5627]

I agree with you Leah, Hobi is my bias but I have great respect for Jimin's dancing being schooled in contemporary dance, his moves are both elegant and graceful & so beautiful to watch.

[@btsyf7467]

@@JohnReavesLive if you watch behind the scenes of BTS stages and their documentaries ypu will see Jimin helps members lot too. In face Jin said Jimin is suited to him since he is patient. Jimin was very already an accomplished dancer predebut. His teacher was so sad to hear him pass the audition because he said world had lost a great artist.

[@leahwarburton]

@@btsyf7467 If you watch the behind the scenes leading up to their performance of Butter at the Grammys, you see him acting as dance leader. And I admit, it's interesting to wonder what it would have been like if Jimin had followed a life in dance. If you subscribe to the Multiverse Theory, then there is a reality where he did just that. And he would have made his mark on the world of dance. And it would have been beautiful. But he became a member of BTS, and that's the world we live in. And I'm glad. His dance though... It's mesmerizing.💜

[@mhecyeuh3080]

The Idol performance with a taste of Korean culture is definitely one for the books. I love how they incorporate Korean culture in their production. It's so entertaining and always pleasant to the eyes.

[@erivera9313]

Their live performances are simply amazing. Daughter and I have seen them live 6 times including at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas. Each time you think they can’t amaze you again…they do just that. Their energy comes from the crowd and they deliver a top notch performance every time. So much so that their almost 3 hour show feels like a 30 min show because time does fly when you’re having fun.

[@nmbat5036]

One of my fave Airplane pt 2 performances is 2018 MAMA

[@JohnReavesLive]

I love this song!!!

[@schafferable]

The greatest thing is that they are singing live... I love it. The stamina that they had to build is amazing. Not like western artist who show up at award shows or even live and lip sing. It's real and they will always be better because of the realness.

Great job, John - really been enjoying your reactions. 68 yo fairly new ARMY here! Strongly recommend you check out the 2016 MAMA performance - it's got some amazing songs - Blood, Sweat and Tears and Fire in particular. And there's a legendary separate dance performance by J-hope and Jimin that's worth seeing - Jimin is blindfolded which is hard to believe when you see the dancing he pulls off. Keep up the good work!

"jimin has the best flow and is the most versalite. He can do streets, hip hop, contemporary. Poppin`, moderndance,ballet, locking, breackdance, house, kromping, jaazz, freestyle, traditional dance, martial arts, acrobatics, you name it and therefore he´s the best dancer in the entire industry wich also makes him the best performer. No one comes close to him."

[@Jimin-ci4ed]

For me J- hope and Jimin are both the best , I can't choose even tho my bias is Jimin when it comes to dancing they are so different but both so amazing that I really can't choose one to be the best for me . But something that maybe you would like to know is that , in the group when asked who is the Best dancer Jimin is the one who has answered this question several times and his answer was always :J hope . Just wanted to point out that in my opinion Jimin has always given the spotlight for best dancer to J-hope. Wich to be honest is a 100% a Jimin thing to do 😂

[@a.s.l5643]

He even about students or who covers their dances, songs said "they ere better than me" Dancers chareographers: "Jimin he is great dancer, he is perfectionist" Jimin always hard to himself, if you watch their reactions to their own mvs, Jimin looks really serious when he watchs his parts (until someone praise him or make joke)

[@bluewolfdancer]

They were also on Jimmy Kimmel's show, but mostly it's Jimmy Fallon; he also did a whole BTS-week with epic live versions of Idols and Black Swan. Oh and check out James Corden's Flinch with BTS if you want a good laugh. It's hilarious! Suga/Yoongi is my bias and I loved your reaction and especially your observations and guesses on Suga/Yoongi and him using a handheld mic. You should see him hold a trophy ;) (there's a fun compilation of Suga's love for the awards they win)

[@paulagrave9516]

The images you referenced are from Spring Day mvideo. 😊 I have a suggestion I am sure you will love: you should check out the 25th Time Traveller SeoTaiji's concert featuring BTS. Its Iconic! So many genres in one concert. Seo Taigi is a legend because he was one of the founders of modern kpop and people say with this concert he was passing the torch to BTS. The concert is a masterpiece. And if you wish to react to any of the 7 BTS performances there, youtube has it separately. 💜

[@carriemacleod2241]

There are compilations of the dances being choreographed to mask mic handoffs. Some of them are crazy smooth. Like, Hobi is rapping ....... two steps ....... Where is Hobi's mic?

[@JohnReavesLive]

LOL right!?!?!?! I love how much they pack into their performances, they are like magicians with their live shows!

[@ioluna]

Suga has famously said that rappers rap into handheld mics…this is why he rarely uses a headset. In Airplane Pt 2, I always assumed he used a headset because of the mics used in the choreo. Otherwise, I always watch too and he almost exclusively holds a mic. 💜

[@danielamontper8324]

Jimin is more please and emotional to watch, he can do anything to tell a story, and dance is about that

[@cruisack4090]

True!

[@fyrelady]

One of my favorite live performances they’ve done, mostly because of the cultural features they did during IDOL. I love that they not only showed their critics “Westernized? Sez you!”, but basically showed off Korean culture and drew so many people (who weren’t already interested) into researching and looking up all the references they made. Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction! Your excitement and and the delight you show during all your reaction videos is just a lot of fun to watch.

[@JohnReavesLive]

:) for real thank you so much for saying so!!!!

[@jenwinsim]

As a Westerner also I so appreciate their work. I get annoyed when watching a live with them and people ask them to speak English. I’d love to know every word they’re saying, but they speak Korean and I don’t! So I wait patiently for subs thanks to translators. Everything they do is so intelligent and more meaningful in my opinion, than “western” artists slithering half nude around on stages or just standing and singing at award shows.

[@sugasmeow]

Suga’s vocals cannot be ruled out. Please watch Seesaw live to hear Suga’s awesome vocal ability.

I’m an Idol ARMY and I clearly remember how amazed I was watching this performance. Once you get to know their names and wonderful personalities combined with heaps of talent there really is no turning back. The journey we take with BTS is such an incredible experience if you love music, art, poetry and most importantly love for each other and our differences.

[@sinjospeach]

I absolutely loved this reaction! This is my fav MMA. Every performance is amazing, but Idol is God tier. Lol. Thanks again for taking the time to do this. I never get tired of watching BTS reactions, especially from genuine people such as yourself💜.

[@nkaracyran9653]

The MAMA award show performances are also amazing as well!! They are well worth a watch :) And when it comes to dancing, both jhope and jimin are the top two dancers in the group as they have a large dedicated background to dance. Jimin specifically contemporary and jhope hip hop with popping and locking. It is hard to choose a “better” dancer because they are both top tier but in slightly different areas. Jhope and jimin are part of the “main dancers” in the group. Jhope learns choreography insanely quickly and to perfection, to the point that he guides and helps teach the choreo to the other members ! He also is soo natural at freestyle. You should definitely watch dancing compilations for both members. Love your vids btw ! :D

[@meganlisenbee1183]

We are definitely planning on doing a reaction week for several of the MAMA performances just like we did with the MMA performances so stay tuned!

[@JohnReavesLive]

Thank you so much! I love doing these! and I know that Meg has MAMA set up soon! I cant wait!

[@shwr9795]

To be precise, the main dancers are J-Hope and Jimin, the lead dancer is Jungkook. (In K-pop, the order is Main > Lead > Sub.) The dance line of BTS is J-Hope, Jimin, Jungkook and V. main dancers: J-Hope &Jimin lead dancers: Jungkook. J-Hope is said to be a dance leader, not a lead dancer. J-Hope, who is in charge of BTS' dance, is the dance leader. Lead dancers and dance leaders are different. (In foreign countries, the lead is the main position, but in K-pop, it is different, so I think people misunderstand this a lot)

[@lela1002]

the lead dancer is Jungkook, J-Hope is the "dance leader" hence why he helps others with learning the choreo :)

[@ZariDV]

I once heard a ballet teacher say that she thinks J-hope would excel at contemporary dancing if he ever wanted to learn. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that to this day. He's so fluid and delicate in some of his moves that he would be incredible dancing alongside Jimin in something like that.

[@shweta7796]

MAMA 2018 performance is also freaking epic John!!!! You must watch it soon, pls??💜

Yes thank you for this reaction 💜 i love MMA 2018. Speaking about Namjoon and Yoongi singing abilities i hope you will watch someday the Christmas Carol Medley 2019 concert because they sang pretty well it was so cute, and if u like Christmas vibes it's worth it ! All rappers also sing during their Fix you cover. You can also hear Bicycle and Seoul by RM and Seesaw by August D. Also during their mini live PROOF concert during the For Youth song RM sings, i hope you will react to this one very soon cause it was the best live performance ever from a viewer and listener point of view because the sound was on point and BTS with a live band is an other level with incredible arrangements and Anderson Paak at drums was incredible, he added so much depth with his abilities. Just to let you know it was a "private" jam session so no crowd. I know u love the crowd energy but trust me this performance is so freaking enjoyable because u Can see how much fun they had to sing along with this live band and backing vocals. Just pure groovyness 😌💜 I really enjoy hearing them sing it hits different than the vocalists. Ask Megan if at a certain point she will be able to put those songs and performance into your busy schedule 😉💜

[@h.vgavriel5838]

Totally agree !

[@LPnerd]

Jin is dancing so good in this. I think he must really like this song?

[@laurenh6668]

Totally get what you're saying about their individual talents. I absolutely love the instances where Jimin and Suga have parts next to eachother in songs because their voices are such a great contrast. Fake Love is a good example, Spring Day is another. I agree with their positions in that J Hope is the best dancer, even though Jimin is my favourite dancer. I'd never discredit JHope's skills by saying he wasn't the best, he can adapt to every dance style so perfectly, he's THE man!! Can never take my eyes off Jimin though, he's so smooth with it and that's a style I prefer

[@sugasmeow]

Jimin received high acclaim for his fan dance. BTS’ Idol performance here was given the Legendary Performance award at another MMA (2020?). If you want to see how hard they actually dance in Idol, check out the Shake the Stage video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHzVYmV7aZ1nZrM It is the Jimmy Fallon BTS Week performance that is amazing. Can’t wait for you to check it out. Jimin’s growls made my toes curl.

I TOTALLY agree with your statement about the showing of Asian culture being more intriguing and interesting to Westerners than like cowboys n such. Yes!!! 1,000%!

[@virginia_the_elder]

Hands down, this was my favorite performance. Well ... then there's MMA 2019 with all of them doing solos (I'm not a big fan of Dionysus though, so go figger). 💜 Knowing what I know now, Big Hit spent a ton of money to ensure BTS' success, from the get-go. Backup dancers (really talented backup dancers), huge productions, and their MV's which (imho) have always been a cut above. All those people behind the scenes took a big chance and it paid off. How did Bang Si-hyuk manage to keep all those very talented people motivated to keep moving forward?? Creative freedom? Trust? Someone who could explain the Big Picture in ways that could be understood? Awe inspiring.

20:22 i haven't gone through the comments so im not sure if somebody commented this but the reason why Yoongi was wearing a headset microphone is because he had to hold a mic stand during JHope's verse as part of the choreo

Idol live performance for Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon is spectacular to coz they shoot at Gyeongbokgung Palace..

[@alicebandiola7677]

Jimin is the beat!! Wow! Just wow

[@JohnReavesLive]

Right!?!?!

[@PJMloverJulie]

22:32 it’s a scene from the mv of spring day

[@JohnReavesLive]

ahhh yeah!!! thought that looked familiar

[@lw4067]

FYI: 1: The words on the mirror at the beginning of the MV say “Edise kafruo yosla tube diseur trouy yl not on wohsi” which if read backwards say “I show not only your true side but also your fake side”. 2: When J-Hope dances there are 14 dancers with him performing the traditional Samgo-Mu drum dance - watch the BTS episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XbaZudoZ2rgNk to see the practice. 3: Jimin was presented with a plaque of appreciation by the Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance Conservation Society for performing the traditional Buchaechum Fan Dance for raising the status and aesthetic value of the Korean fan dance globally.

Yeah….we don’t know what to do with the photo cards either…lol💜 but keep in mind…this is not a concert…it’s award show. There is a running saying…BTS turns all award shows into their concert, and are nice enough to let the award show attend😆

[@uglyneverstartwithibutalwa8754]

Watch *"MAMA 2019" they perform "N.O, "WE ARE BULLET PROOF PT2"*

[@charnight181]

Wow John, what a gift!!!! That is for sure the best and most personal one I have ever seen a reaction channel receive. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 To that ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@jaelato8022]

I swear if i remember correctly, idol performance made the whole arena shooked the artists watching at the side lowkey got scared XD Thank you for the reaction as always John 💜

[@dollykelley8098]

John, that scene is from the Spring Day MV. 💜

[@JohnReavesLive]

ahhh nice! do you know if thats the same video they used in 2019?

[@KM-bl3vj]

I agree with the members and choreographer: Jhope is the best. That’s my opinion, but people can think what they want. My second favorite is actually Jungkook. Just because I like the way he moves.

[@a2g2u2s.t.d]

CINDY! you are amazing! and so talented! ARMY is so thoughtful. i traded my first photocard with someone and she sent me candy and stickers and MORE cards. i only sent the one card so i felt awkward lol. there were people running around vegas giving out photocards and stuff too. ARMY is the best when it comes to generosity.

[@tinav6576]

Jimin dances with elegance and beauty, jhope dances with power and precision. I personally love watching jhope dance and am in awe how he seems to have no bones sometimes. Both dance with such passion, jhope’s just resonates more with me. I love their award show performances and gladly wake up in the middle of the night to watch them. 😅 I’m glad you have been appreciating them just as much. Also the scene of them on the couch is from their Spring Day video. A classic.

[@JohnReavesLive]

For real though I totally agree with this! Its like Jhope has more of a "I could do this" style while being insanely talented, he just makes it look more human and Jimin is just like perfection! lol idk, I hope that makes sense but I agree with what you're saying

[@97angel25]

I also love MAMA 2019 where they perform N.O and We Are Bulletproof pt.2 which was their old song that was release 2013 during their debut year. They are sooo cool

[@sandram3564]

JKKKKKKKK abs.. it is iconic of fake Love live. Airplane pt 2, is so groovy, Army is chanting their names it is one of many Army fan chants, (Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hosek, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook, BTS) Idol is massive it is such a happy party sing you cannot helo but scream and dance to it. Thank you, John, as usual, the video was AMAZING. Jimmy Fallon did BTS week and all of the performances were great. Borahae and Freaking Tootles!!!

[@lisacsarmiento5627]

Thank you John, I appreciate you too and for the genuine BTS reactions you share. You always make my day 😊💜.

[@JohnReavesLive]

:) Thank you so much Lisa!

[@happystansot7892]

You will also love Mama 2018 Hong Kong. This is the one where JK does the cat walk Airplane2 and Idol. It’s awesome. Also the MAMA 2018 Japan is awesome. Each is different. This one features Fake Love.

Sabe do que eu mais gosto, as pessoas começam a conhecer os meninos, daqui uns meses parecem como filhos que todo mundo quer cuidar, elogiar, aplaudir, admirar. Esse caminho é sem volta pq eles são demais.

[@ot7btspineda374]

Both JIMIN and JHOPE are the main dancers of the group/BTS and ya i guess theyre both the best dancers.u can see clearly. Hihi

[@geekyreader34]

I love the vocal line but the rap line especially RM & Suga are the Pilar’s of Bts . So yes appreciate their individual talents but never compare them lol

[@lukasmini8694]

💯 Agreeeee

[@JohnReavesLive]

Exactly! lol its just in my nature to try to compare and contrast but as ive learned with them its just best to appreciate them in their own light, cause they all have their moments to leave you awestruck

[@kunst7958]

What do you mean especially RM and Suga? In the beginning they were the main writers, but Jhope quickly became just as much as them?? And Jhope is the performance and dance leader. So behind every legendary performance is Jhope’s leadership.

[@kunst7958]

@@JohnReavesLive I’d say RM, Suga AND JHOPE are equally the pillar of BTS. They are ALL the main writers and they are in charge of much of the creative process. RM is the leader and Jhope is the dance/performance leader. I had to comment here because it’s crazy to me to highlight RM and Suga over Jhope. I love the vocal line!! But it IS the rap line that is the foundation of their success. That’s just facts (just look at the credits…)

[@geekyreader34]

@@kunst7958 i believe the rap line in general have a big part in BTS success. But technically speaking they are all spectacular and all play their part in BTS success

[@vennie2435]

*Jimin is voted as the best kpop dancer for 3/4 consecutive years .. *I think Jhope is great hip hop dancer but also background of modern dancing gives Jimin upper hand over everyone. He is one of the beat versatile dancer of kpop. Most importantly his dancing line* *captivates the audience more*

[@JohnReavesLive]

[@Raynstor.m]

Hi John the reason Suga wore a headset in Airplane pt 2 was because he had to interact with the mic stand several times. It would have been to hard and wouldn’t look right to hold the mic stand but be singing into a hand held mic. This is my favorite version of Idol to watch live. It is visually stunning. I love the cultural dances a lot. I am too a westerner LOL I laughed when you reacted to JK lifting up his shirt and showing us how ripped he was and everyone was screaming. The reason I laughed was not at your reaction but remembering last year at the PTD concert in LA JK wore a new crop top for that performance and during the choreo RM pulled on JK shirt pulling it open and there was only one button holding on for dear life preventing full exposure and all of Army wishing it would pop. Army lost it. ROFL You commented about Suga and RM not having singing voices. LOL you are so wrong. You just haven’t gotten to those songs yet. LOL I love both of their singing voices. Can’t wait for you to experience them. Thank you for another great reaction. You are doing an awesome job! Borahae and Happy Army Day! 💜🇺🇸

[@meganlisenbee1183]

I can't wait for him to watch some of the stuff we have coming up at the end of this month and into next for the very reason of him seeing RM and Suga's singing voices! He's not going to know what to do with himself.

[@Raynstor.m]

@@meganlisenbee1183 I am looking forward to it. You are doing an awesome job keeping him on track. LOL On a side note have you ever watched any of the BTS animation videos by MariannaDraws? She has done an awesome job. I love her video for V’s winter bear. If you haven’t seen them yet take a look. ☺️

[@meganlisenbee1183]

@@Raynstor.m Honestly I have watched so many things at this point in just the year that I've been an army that I've lost track. lol. I'll check it out though just to make sure! Thank you so much for everything and just being the freaking rockstar that you are.

[@JohnReavesLive]

I cant wait to check out some more about them!! the closest I've heard from Suga's singing voice is First Love and I really liked it! and thank you so much for the info about Suga's mic use! that makes so much sense!

[@chiqadee5996]

The high notes in the background of Fake Love was Jungkook. He does a lot of the background vocal.

[@JohnReavesLive]

JK is seriously so underrated even being the "lead singer" of BTS he still doesn't get enough credit lol!

[@nickiholdsworth1626]

@@JohnReavesLive I watch a lot of BTS reactions and find that’s pretty common - Jimin (obviously), and V, often stand out due to the uniqueness of their voices, but JK, hands down has the most reliable, steady voice and more often than not any harmonizing or ad libs you hear - whether behind vocal line or rap line - is JK.

[@poppette1978]

@@JohnReavesLive that is so true, if only they will redo all bts songs and remove all of JK's adlibs and harmonization and see if bts songs will still sound as good. For me people who don't appreciate and belittle jk's hardwork and time spent in the studio in all bts songs doesn't know anything about music production period. Ahh by the way in kpop culture the top most vocal in a group is called main vocalist and JK is THE main vocalist of BTS.

Yes, Jm is the best dancer along with J-Hope. Jm studies art n contemporary dance n he is one of the best. There is something about him n the stage. Everytime he starts dancing the whole crowd go crazy.
