Bass Singer FIRST-TIME REACTION & ANALYSIS - BTS | Tiny Desk Concert (PART 2)

[@PeterBarber]

Hi everyone, welcome back for Part 2 of my analysis of BTS's Tiny Desk Concert! It's been wonderful to see such a positive response and appreciation for my detailed breakdown of what's happening vocally, and overall musically in this awesome BTS performance. Just in case you missed Part 1, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWnVhHZmfbF3nc0

Thank you for reacting to BTS and in-depth analysis! I'm very curious what would you think of their solo or unit songs :) One of my favourites is song "Telepathy" so hopefully one day you can check it :)

[@mariebaumbach7345]

i feel like you would really enjoy their 2021 FESTA (Yearly Anniversary Celebration of the Group&Fans) BTS ROOM Live Performance. It's a Mash-up of a LOT of different songs, a little trip through their songs from oldest to newest and gives you a good sample of their catalogue. It also highlights a few of their pure rap songs! Excited to see you checking out more BTS, thanks for the reaction!

[@taesfilter3026]

there definitely is a backtrack, to give the performance a fuller sound and to patch little adlibs here and there that was originally done in the studio version. but in this performance, the backtrack can be easily picked apart from the live vocals, which is why it's my absolute favorite video when i just wanna bask in their voices!

[@hannahnothanna]

I would recommend also watch BTS Festa Room Live 2021. This is a medley of songs performed live, where they’re also up and moving around a little bit more. The songs included in the performance range from their first album in 2013 to their most recent album in 2020. Just a little background, “Festa” is what they call the annual celebration of their birthday as a group, from their debut date 6/13/13. They usually drop a lot of freebie content for their fans during the first couple weeks of June. This video came from the 2021 Festa.

RM, who is the guy in the denim suit, is quite fluent in English. In fact he has addressed the UN General Assembly in English. According to his own story, he learned English by listening to DVDs of the American television show Friends. He listened first with Korean subtitles, and then with English subtitles. Quite remarkable!

Just so you understand Jungkook and Jimin do most of the background vocals so they have to do a backing track to do all the harmonies. But he is used to doing all the harmonies so that was the reason for raising the mic to his mouth. It wasn't lip sync per se. The dedicated Baritone is V the one with the tie, even though while he was doing english he started singing higher. They are not all fluent in English just RM (the one with the blue hair) he also speaks in Japanese along with Jimin the one on the right end.

[@ablindinglightthatnolonger8379]

For the "lip-sync" part, I think that what happened was that he was about to sing that line, but opted last second not to. It could be because of muscle memory. As you might have read from other comments, their performances are dance-heavy, and if they're not dancing they're still jumping and running around the stage. Since there's a lot of choreo and timing is very important for those kind of packed performances, they have to rely on muscle memory for choreos and some singing parts. They wouldn't be able to function with so many things to think about at the same time. Therefore, since this version was different than the one they usually perform, he might have been following his instincts implanted through the hours of training, and remembered just last second that he wasn't supposed to go for it for that version, so he just mouthed it. They use backing tracks to support the stability and fullness of their voices during performances or add extra layers of armonies. In the case of the last two songs however, I would almost consider those backing vocals more like voice samples that are part of the instrumentation, rather than singing support. Mainly because they could be distinguished very easily and they were purposely not singing in those sections. I don't know if I made any sense with this 😂

[@Ella-qk1rt]

great comment, you explained everything perfectly!😊

[@victorialira]

Those ad-libs pre-recorded were from Jin.

[@tracydowd4013]

RM is a baritone. And there is a backing track, and JK was mimicking the backing vocals. He's the main vocalist, so it makes sense he would. You can clearly hear the difference between the backing track and their live vocals.

[@siliniel8629]

What you said that moment with mi mi, he just records the background for more than 142 songs of his group

[@JackInTheBox0294]

[@vellichorie]

JK was mimicking the back vocals cause this version is different than the ones they usually do. He isn’t lip syncing. If u noticed he put down his mic aswell. He’s their main vocalist. He’s literally the one who never hides behind any effects lol. He always sings even during vlives, during their run eps. If u check out Jungkook main vocalist by IDA S. Or if u react to just any Jungkook vocals video you’ll see.

[@emejicano]

Exactamente, gracias por explicarlo!!!

[@aquamarine6223]

Yeah, that was a backing track, they usually have that to provide more of the background vocals. They also are a dance-heavy group, so they'll use it (a backing track) occasionally when there's strenuous choreography preventing them from singing. To see more of them live I recommend watching the Armypedia live songs (No More Dream, Like, Just one Day) or the other MTV unplugged videos! (Blue and Grey, Life Goes On, Telepathy)

The rappers RM and Suga are both baritones but so is V (Taehyung, green mic guy in the middle). Because the other three vocal line members are tenors, V ends up living in his head voice and mix most of the time. We hear his gorgeous low range on his solo works like Sweet Night, and his whole range on Stigma. 💜

[@markballard9942]

Having watched their Fix You cover of Coldplay's song, you would probably enjoy the collaboration they did with Coldplay doing My Universe. There is a music video of it and there is also a video of the according of the song in which Chris Martin from Coldplay travels to Korea during the pandemic and spends a couple of days recording the song with them. Fascinating project and the behind the scenes video left me a bit choked up.

[@Mutatedcorpse]

6:00 no he sang it really quietly bc thats how that part is meant to be LOL he was just kinda joining along with the small unnecessary parts of the song if u know what i mean, he wasnt lip syncing or anything

[@suzettedezilwa7486]

I have watched dozens of clips and Jungcook (JK) often does this when some other members are singing, imitates without intention, because he enjoys performing so much because he has an incredible voice and doesn't need to prove anything when it comes to singing. Jimin who has the beautiful angelic voice was chosen as a member very late just before they debuted in 2013 . He was chosen for his years of Contemporary dance and hip hop dancing, he had no vocal training and virtually trained himself. He asked if he could watch the other vocalists having lessons then went back to their Dormitory and practised for hours in his own time training himself to sing. Also this an on-line concert for the fans. Thankyou for your reaction. They have evolved from 2013 to 2023 in many ways. They struggled during the Pandemic because they had to stop live concerts. 😊

[@asianiewie9142]

Another example of their great live vocal abilities would be "Your Eyes Tell" live performance! It's crazy what they are doing there, and it is well balanced between the members. I would love to hear your opinion!!! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWS4n4h-bLmErNU

10:12 thats RM hes fluent in english, he learnt english from watching the show friends. The other members like jimin, jungkook, jhope, are good at english enough to form sentences and have a conversation but they arent fluent. So RM is the speaker and translator of the group kinda.

[@tellyshadden3840]

BTS always has the backing track on all their songs because they are a dance heavy group. They are still in great shape, they practice singing on a treadmill so they can control their breathing when they dance while singing. They record the songs with all these adlibs and harmonies for the fullness and work on dance routines for their performances. That’s why they had a lull on the first song “Save Me” where all you heard was backing track because they do heavy choreography at that time. When you get to their mvs or their performance videos, you’ll see why. These men are consummate performers.

[@nuhkyah23]

RM, the guy in the denim started writing Spring Day one day in the park, staring at the trees. The song is really about his and Suga's (the rapper in the black jacket) experience with their friends from the past. The music video though is directly dedicated to the victims and families of the sewol ferry disaster and the lyrics are quite fitting.

[@우주-j2p]

you'll understand when you see them performing 'save me' with dancing why there's backtract..🤣🤣

[@meowjk7885]

There is actually main vocal and lead vocal in bts. When you say the guy in orange jacket and the one with the yellow mic seem to take the lead, well because they are the main and lead vocalist. The orange jacket guy(purple mic) is the main vocalist while the yellow mic is the lead vocalis

[@javinnelaureen]

2 years after, maybe no one then will read this comment, not even Peter... But still I have to say it: he felt the humming, melancholic tone in their way to sing Spring day without knowing what is it about, even though he could read the lyrics. That's how powerful the singing is!!!!!! Spring day is, indeed, a gorgeous hopeful and at the same time melancholic and sad song. Me, personally, even though I have never experienced the kind of tragedy we know it is related to, still, this song makes me cry almost every time. It just breaks my heart beautifully... Every single time. Kudos for my amazing 7 lovely monkeys, making me feel stuffs. That's why I love them so much. Greetings to everyone.

[@jillcarter5555]

The guy on the right 😉 is Jimin...voice of an angel. But I love when he "growls" in Danger and other songs!!!

[@joanncollins2477]

The part in spring day where the boys weren’t singing the Whoa’s was actually the fandom singing (“ARMY”)….That’s why Jimin says “We love you ARMY” 💜🫰 The guy next to purple mic guy (JK) is the groups baritone normally…..catch him do live stage with the solo song “Stigma” ….his name is V (Taehyung). P.s just stumble across you & love your reactions extremely interesting. 👍

[@taequilasilver7183]

6:30 yes it's not that deep XD, it's part of the original track and they never sing that part because they're doing the choreography, JK (purple mic) usually moves his lips and he sings parts of the songs that are not his parts (like the rap parts)

[@erume5776]

6:55 about this moment, yeah that's just background vocals! :) i don't think jk was trying to lip sync it, more like he got lost in the music haha

[@markballard9942]

There may well have been a backing track, however, BTS does not normally do any lip syncing. I understand they even rehearse they're singing while running on a machine so that they can develop their breath for singing while dancing.

[@borreguitoazul]

There are some pre-recorded choirs; are parts of the song that Army (their fandom) sings at a concert, they left them as a reflection of nostalgia and because they miss being with Army. The one in the orange jacket with purple microphone is the main vocalist and his voice is very stable. The one in the floral shirt with the gold microphone is considered a light tenor or even a countertenor. And he is a lead vocalist. The one you mentioned was an example of a light falsetto, it's the only baritone in the vocal line; his voice is deep and soulful, but very versatile and with the widest range of the group.

[@jess_2905]

You should react to their cover of "I'll be missing you" it's amazing, they did such a great job on cover and it was a cover that I think a lot of people were a bit worried about and kind of wondering how it would go but they didn't fail to impress and were really respectful and did a great cover. It's definitely worth checking, it's honestly such a heavenly cover, their voices are just amazing so I highly recommend checking it out I would love to see your reaction to it!!!

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

One thing about Spring day is that it has very contemporary choreography that goes along with it. So they're used to breathing in and taking larger breaths in certain places to compensate for holding a steady tone while they were moving.

[@markballard9942]

This song was written following the Sewol ferry disaster where the ferry boat was sunk killing more than 300 students who were on a day trip. Some of the emotion being shown by the singers is due to the depth of feelings about this disaster. If you watch the music video for this song as well as the explanations about the symbolism in the music video you will understand it a little bit better.

[@larewi6765]

The song is not about Sewol, RM wrote this song about missing friends. The video is theoried to be about Sewol.

[@eveyy_xo]

That is a misinformation. The mv is about the tragedy, the song, however, isn’t.

[@clairefranzen5753]

When Spring Day was first released this was probably the biggest theory about the song. However they've never confirmed that was the case. There might be some symbolism of it in the music video. There's been no official confirmation that the song was written in honor of the tragedy even though it's heartbreaking to hear about. The anniversary of the accident wasn't very long ago.

[@larewi6765]

@@larewi6765 ... have you seen the "What you still don't know about BTS spring day"- video by Italian Army? That is actually convincing not that other vid people love to watch. And I think that there was something more recent when Jin was asked and said that it was to a specific incident or something similar. People have taken that he meant the disaster but understandable didn't want to mention the name. *shrugs* It is definetly a strong possibility especially if you also look at the choreo (the lyrics themselves were about the loss of friends/friendship).

Yes, there is a backing track. But Jungkook (the singer in the orange jacket) didn't actually mean to lip-sync the "save me-me-me" part--it was literally a timing mistake, where he forgot that they weren't singing that line live.

[@OdessaFolly]

Something I think you might find interesting! The reason they usually only have 1 or 2 singers singing at a time, despite there being 7 of them, is bc their normal performances have a very strong emphasis on dance. So generally, the person singing at any one moment is doing less moving, whilst the other 6 do some very intense dancing. And obviously you need to breathe to do that. It’s why a lot of their songs are structured that way and you wouldn't necessarily notice in a stripped down performance like this one. I think this performance is a really good example of that if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYSxlWNooLupbtE

Because this version differs from the way it's usually played, I think jk was lip syncing to that part because he usually sings the save me ee ee part, if you listen to the original way this song goes, you'd see what I'm talking about.

6:00 that is a backing track yep! Since they also dance while singing, you will notice backing vocals thrown in here and there. They will either let the backing track play on its own or sometimes sing along depending on the performance. For sit down performances like this they probably keep the backing track pretty low so you can easily make out when they are actually singing.

[@heddaleeming5348]

The thing with BTS is they don't try to fool you with lip syncing. If it's only the backing track no one is pretending to really sing, although you may see them mouthing along. There's actually many performances where that's clear, like one where Jungkook (orange jacket) starts laughing and can't sing and it's very clear he is live. Yoongi (second from left) has purposely stopped rapping a few times to prove he's live (often the audience fills in). If one of them gets out of breath someone else will take over. I'm sure there have been venues where they've been told to do it for some reason, but it's not something they ever want to do.

[@shanimurfin2044]

Their vocals sound so tight and rehearsed because they are normally dancing during these songs. That also accounts for the music breaks in the vocals ;-) The vocals have to be SO solid. Definitely check out the live versions, it’s a sight to behold ;-) It’s also worth looking up their vocals when they are warming up backstage or messing around- their runs are sickeningly clean.

Thanks for your reaction. The singer with the purple mic, 'JK' is the lead singer of BTS & also lays down the master when recording for the rest to sing their parts to. Yes, there was a backing track, it is obvious and they are not trying to hide it - it is clearly audible & JK was singing along, just as there were horns playing in dynamite and no hon players in the band - not synthesized, etc. I think you would enjoy their hearing the vocalists in the group perform "House of Cards' live version, a song from years ago & 'Film Out' a Japanese track they recorded last year - the Music Blood or CDDT live versions have the best audio.

Yeas they have different positions main lead and sub vocals, dancers and rapers. This is something that influences in they responsibilities. For exemplo JK (the guy in orange suit) is the main vocal, because his voice is the more stable so he used to have more lines and he is responsable for recording the vocal guide to help the others, Jimin the guy on the right is lead vocal, so he is normally responsable for sing the parts they want want to highlight.

I "came in" on Spring Day...and have never looked back. Really enjoy your break downs. So interesting and enjoyable! I'm glad you are sharing that gift with the world, too.

[@markballard9942]

I've been looking forward to this. Thank you so much.

[@lindacirka7268]

You need to watch their 1st appearance in front of the UN Assembly during their Love Yourself era. RM did a full speech in English. He is the leader of BTS.

[@lattelover5471]

24:58 so much fun to see you start singing the bass line, Peter! Thanks for Part 2 of this analysis.

[@PJMloverJulie]

Rm(Kim namjoon) the rapper with blue hair is the only one fluent in English he actually learned English by watching the show friends and rm is also the leader of the group and often gives the other members help with speeches or helping them pronounce words in English also his stage name is rm which stands for rap monster.

[@sarkavajnerova3123]

Btw we would care about what you have to say about them talking. Most Armys arent fans just for music but for them as people. You will find out why in time. Music is just some part of being in fandom.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

Especially here, where they are talking about the music. I'm very sad he skipped those parts. He really missed out, and would have gained a bit more insight.

[@wendybaker7999]

You really tuned in to the vibrations of the song Spring Day. Because of the tragedy that happened in S. Korea there is a lot of emotions People even brought clothes of the children who drowned in this tragedy and threw them into a pile. They show this in the official MV actually 💜 Thank you for your input ☺☺💜

[@realityhelix564]

That part just got me right in the heart once I realized what it was about.

[@yeoljeongbts5296]

Bc the majority of their songs are usually performed with an accompanying dance routine or in large stadiums they almost always have some sort of backing track to get the right sound mix & help fill in where they might need a breath. That particular part in Save ME is a dance break where they are dancing very hard & energetic choreo so they don't sing those "save me, me, me" parts & just let the backing track play. For future reference on this, BTS don't bother to lip sync, it'll be very obvious if they're just letting the backing track play (you'll see this a bit more clearly in, for instance, Jimin's solo performances of Serendipity as his main focus for certain parts of the song are the choreo over the vocals so he'll just let the backing track take over & doesn't bother trying to "fake" that he's singing bc he isn't for that part though he is singing over the backing track the other 80% of the time). Not sure if this is something you're aware of, but BTS most definitely employ the backing track & live sound mixing techniques that MJ pioneered & perfected, so if you pay attention during their live stages with choreo you'll notice the hallmarks of those techniques (backing tracks low in the mix but enough there to pad out any rough spots during choreo while allowing the live vocal to cut through & shine, only certain small sections/vocal chops being brought forward in the mix for artistic affect & emphasis, etc). They write their songs WITH the dancing & performance of that song live on a stage in mind so that they can majority of the time be able to sing it live & achieve that full bodied sound

[@celiizag8442]

I would recommend checking out some of their Japanese singles as they have some of my favorite vocals from the boys. If you want to focus on one singer at a time, they all have solo projects they’ve released. Thank you for giving them so much love!!

[@taetaetrash9728]

I mean a true good representation of seeing what BTS is really capable of is watching them in their full element. Like performances like these are cool, but BTS are BEASTS on stage. Their stage presence is killer and they can sing AND dance at the same time and have crazy stamina. Cuz their concerts average 2,5 hours and they'll sound stable all throughout. Watch their GRAMMY 2022 - BUTTER performance for a taste! And watch their MMA2019 performance after that for the full scope of their capabilities. You'll be blown away. It's 40 minutes of them at a Korean award show completely shutting down the place with their awesomeness. But the recent GRAMMYS is a nice prequal to that showing their showmanship. So please react to that. And thanks for this reaction, cuz I love hearing more professionals break down performances like this.

[@biru-kelabu-0821]

Thank you for your reaction. I really enjoyed your breakdown and analysis. I'd love to see you react to and analyze the rest of their MTV Unplugged videos ("Fix You" is one of them. There are five in total). On of them, "Blue and Grey", is a beautiful ballad.

[@abie408]

I know this was posted a year ago but I just want to thank you for taking time to listen and checking out our boys.... there is a lot of other songs I think youll enjoy from them. their songs really shows alot of vocal techniques and sometimes out of the box or kind unexpected turns... the vocal line really has different and unique textures and i think youll enjoy listening to them together. looking forward to watching more of your reaction/analysis :) again thank you so much... i really LOVE how you 'dissect' their songs.. i rarely see reactors like this... especially with BTS... so thank you 💜

[@genciebowlin9477]

I think you would enjoy Lie. In this song there is an unexpected major to miner change in the song. Jin hits a really high note in Crystal Snow that no one has ever said what it is and I would like to know. I do not know music, but I really like that you tell us the notes. BTS has over 300 hundred songs and I think you would enjoy reacting to them as well as your audience. Truly gifted guys.

[@Lina310898]

Thanks for the very educational reaction! I noticed you were talking about lead singers in the group and I wanted to give some insight into that. So, in kpop (especially older kpop groups), the different artists have assigned positions in the group. The three most common positions are: vocalists, rappers and dancers (there are also other positions like leader, center etc., but let's not get into those for now). These positions are usually sub-categorized to main, lead and sub roles. You correctly recognized the main and lead vocalists in BTS from this concert! Jungkook (purple mic, orange suit jacket) is the main vocalist. As a main vocalist he does the vocal guides for their songs and most of the backing vocals on their tracks are done by him, for example. He also gets a lot of lines, but him also having the 'center' position contributes to that. Jimin (golden mic, the one on the far right) it the lead vocalist. The other guys in BTS 'vocal line' are categorized as sub vocalists, although depending on the song, all of them can take lead roles in my opinion. In BTS the offical positions (going in order from left to right in the tiny desk concert) are: J-Hope: Main Dancer, Sub Rapper, Sub Vocalist Suga: Lead Rapper Jungkook: Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Sub Rapper, Center, Maknae (youngest) V: Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Visual Jin: Sub Vocalist, Visual RM: Leader, Main Rapper Jimin: Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist Also, if you want to hear a bass vocal in kpop, check out Stray Kids! They just had a comeback single called Maniac. Very rare to find bass vocals in any pop music, let alone kpop, but I love to see it and I think you would too! :) (I also remember you said you liked dubstep in one of your previous reactions, and Stray Kids do dubstep in many of their songs like Freeze that also just got a music video) Maniac mv: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hafMoJiJZr-NbdE Maniac live on a radio show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWq2dpipabmWiMk Freeze mv: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6XNgpdmrMyIitE

[@tpeyton2848]

Definitely recommend their 2021 festa to see more of their vocal diversify

[@Infernogoddess]

I really really want him to see Bts's contribution to music, as much as he respects the artistry it could be right up his alley!

[@OutroBusan]

6:00 nothing really happened here lmao he probably thought about singing along to the “save me, me, me” part, but didn’t. which is why he brought the mic up and put it back down.

[@orquideasalva3593]

I hadnt heard the guitar in the BG of Save me despite having watched that video several times. that's what I love about seeing these reactions. I keep learning about these little parts that I didnt notice before

[@douseenow]

They do have some background sound for fullness. Their songs sometimes are meant to have fans sing back to them. So the backing may be added

[@evantesseract737]

They actually do have "lead singers" - although song by song it's not about who sings the most. Jungkook (purple mic) is the main vocalist, in the center of most ensemble pieces. His voice is generally regarded as the most stable & a lot of songs come back to him again and again for repeated chorus or prechorus sections. He's also incredibly adaptable (there are a zillion videos of him doing lots of stuff with his voice) and blends really well when he's on harmonies. The other three vocalists all have different colors/tonal qualities and they arrange songs to make use of those qualities while still passing the melody around. And a couple of the rappers sing sometimes as well - especially JHope, which we see here on Spring Day especially. As main vocal, Jungkook actually lays down the vast majority of the harmonies and ad libs on their backing tracks, so whether or not he was singing in that little moment on Save Me, it's probably him on the backing track. The guys are notoriously terrible at lip sync, which is funny because they're good at everything else.

[@JackInTheBox0294]

Yes, right

[@panizshams4410]

6:06 Couse he wasn't trying to sing that part!it was a backing track only!He was just saying the "me me me" part with himself! He never sing that pert !you can tell by the difference between how their actual voice sounds like comparing to how low backing tracks are like. so its not a lip sync part you didn't need to explain that his voice wasn't different with the mic away for like 3 mins you're making it too complicated for yourself . He often moves his mouth in different part of the song couse he is vibing with it

[@kimberlynrios4755]

Lip syncing is not bad, chill. Plus he was just explaining it and was not shaming him for using a backtrack.

[@panizshams4410]

@@kimberlynrios4755 I'm not trying to mob him or anything i think he had a good reaction. he was talking about how jk's voice didn't change when the mic was away and made a point about it which was just a misunderstandings couse that was just a backing track and he was only moving his mouse so i wanted to make it clear ,that's what he always do while vibing with a song and it's not a big deal . Of course there is no problem with back tracks but In my opinion lip sync isn't ok . I know he wasn't trying to question his singing i wanted to clarify the misunderstanding

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

@@kimberlynrios4755 lol, how can 3 seconds where JK just vibed to the song can be ever called lipsync? I hate these things, let's enjoy the song instead of arguing

The last song is Spring Day and in the Mv the take up about Koreas ferry accident in 2014 when over 300 students drowned, the where told to stay inside the boat even when it was laying on it side, Captain and crew saved theme self and the students drowned. In Korea you do what lokder person say to you

Can’t wait for him to acknowledge how deep V’s voice is lol cause I feel like you can just tell V is not singing in full voice. Maybe he should listen to Singularity Edited to correct myself and say Stigma but you can still react to Singularity

[@darleneseng2044]

You are correct…the “save me me me” is pre recorded and it plays louder during other live performances because they are usually dancing as well❣️ RM is the ONLY singer fluent in English❣️ The others only know simple phrases…This song “Spring Day” is about a disaster that happened in South Korea to approximately 240 students who drowned on a ferry😢
