REN "BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY LIVE" - Rap Videographer REACTION - Did You Like LIVE Version Better?

[@sparkers70]

Can we appreciate that Ren isn't just a hip hopper .. he is a true musician who works and plays with true musicians .. what a talent.❤

[@meggsy82]

I love that he added in some of the original lyrics at the end. He really gets to show off his vocals. The live strings. The backpack just makes me laugh. Need to get our boi an adidas sponsorship already. 🤣🤣

[@reallygraycards7139]

Damn you JOE E! Huge TOP fan and here we go down a Ren rabbit hole. This is utter beauty. Thanks for introducing me to this. Hot damn.

[@pointlesslab4179]

Oh buckle up you’ll love it. Nearly all genres covered

[@WhiteBoyDay]

Go down Joes list, he has numerous Ren reactions

[@earthfairy333]

He didn’t sing at the end of the original retake, but he had the crowd sing along to it at the end when he performed it at SGP last month. It was a beautiful moment to be a part of.

[@lolacan8767]

Yes it was ❤❤❤

[@wendypow1963]

It's always an extra gift when Ren uses his amazing, soulful, singing voice...not used on the earlier video.

[@Mancjorot]

Love the addition of the strings on this live version, not to mention the chorus of the original at the end. Still though the video of this is pretty special! Ren really is a gift that keeps on giving.

[@sharlea9081]

Strings were fire. Also how they mimicked what a seagull would sound like towards the end.

[@Emilie-one]

I loved this version. The string quartet was an incredible addition. Loved it ❤

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Here for this and YOU.

[@NO-78-9]

Overthinking is better than under thinking any day I say. 😊

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

I love that Ren once again makes a classic his own. Then at the end, he fully honored The Verve's original version that us older guys remember from our younger days.

[@francesdoll4039]

He did not sing in the original, but he did sing at the Secret Garden Party and got us all to sing along abd it was wonderful.

[@oistroplex]

And the people standing next to me were a bit surprised... I have quite a loud voice and got carried away by the emotion

[@Grodlar1]

Love this version and your reaction. I do a lot of photography and really appreciate the way you break it down.❤

[@angelb-oo7ob]

Love this one…both have different feels to them…so happy he’s back and Mr Sparks is too. 🤍🪽

[@thegingermenace8593]

Joe E, I always love your opinion on Ren's videos. Not only do I love his music, but I've always love the cinematography! You help explain that better. Whether it's Samuel or Josh shooting the video, he has the best camera guys for his videos! P.S. do you know why Samuel didn't shoot this particular video? Idk why..

[@fangirl6115]

❤

[@joseypinion6426]

I love any Ren. However his lives hits different. I will be watching all the reactions, like I always do. I love your reactions. been following you since i saw you on Black P channel.

[@DiscoverwithJason]

What is amazing to me aside from his brilliant performance (and the string quartet musicians) is the bit he sing honoring the original but how the last line references back to the Money Game Trilogy. All his music and especially his lyrics and even his covers, mashups, and retakes all seem to interconnected referencing each other.

[@Goodtide]

Wait what! You were in the webby 🕸! Let's goooOoOoo Joe E 🔥 yeah their new one is Wednesday. Full hot voices will be assembled

[@chiefaberach]

So excited for regular new Ren releases I missed the premiere for this one (4am here in Melbourne) but I'll set my alarm for brand new ones - see you there 😁

[@jasonremy1627]

Yur

[@GabeHornne]

Bro the live chat was insane for this lol

[@MissMeKate]

I love his live versions. You're going to love the video with Webby. It's a much more traditional mv than we usually see with Ren! (The director has an 8min BTS on his channel too.)

[@JoshStiles]

Shout out to you Joe!! ❤️❤️

[@josephhaines7806]

Ren is always nice this one was fire 🔥

[@adwil7196]

damn, missed this going live

[@supertuscans9512]

nice one Joe E!

[@Meow-Meow501]

Fun fact, the bassist from The Verve gifted Ren the bass he used from the original song.

[@danielbeard7045]

Yo that's sick! ❤

[@mikemedrano8579]

I'm pretty sure the bassist sent him a six string guitar. I could be wrong but that's what I recall.

[@MissMeKate]

Si sent him a custom made guitar, Ren linked to the guy who made it on IG once. It wasn't the guitar used by the bassist.

[@rveino2978]

Hey man seeing that you are videographer and I like your work.Chris Wendy dropped a song with Ren and I know you will love the video peace out

[@joeesparks7]

Just try searching my name and the title of the song...b4 even asking me, just try to make sure I haven't beat u to the punch👌🏽

[@stevecrisell108]

REN Is Bardcore. I Like Your Reaction.

[@Dalmen]

I like not only that Ren makes just a live version, he change it so far that you can put both versions on the playlist without the felling that one song is doubble on the list.

[@salishseamermaid]

I think he mixes up brands just to emphasize how we're all caught in the money game

[@cheetara32]

Always love your Ren reactions, you can just see the emotion on your face as you enjoy it. Here's to new drops From Ren over the next few weeks, which mean s more of your reactions to look forward to. Still one of my favourite places to come to see Ren reactions x

[@mattcavanagh5701]

The original version of his I loved but this is even better!

[@pirada74]

❤❤❤

[@sammyd8860]

Think he was wearing Reeboks (?) to tie in with the lyrics at the start of the song. Ren seems to love his Adidas kit (coincidentally, or not, his first band Trick The Fox were sponsored by Adidas)

[@McCroyd84]

After seeing your comment, I went back to see and as great as Reeboks would have been...Ren is indeed wearing Nike Airs.

[@sammyd8860]

@@McCroyd84 yeah, I found that out myself when I watched it again - sorry about that. (Might have been better if he had worn Reeboks but, hey, a minor detail)

[@stranger2Utube]

Bit egocentric maybe, but I love how often you mirror my own reactions 😂 When he went into the cover singing I did exactly what you did ❤

[@giordani64]

Chinchilla does it too, music videos and live versions. But she's Ren's musical sibling and that maybe doesn't count as another artist with 2 versions ;-)

[@MegsD79]

[@ricksurratt9034]

👍🏽🐷✌🏼

[@zelenozubi]

like to watch you, youre thruly nice boy. 🖖 frommbalkan 🤠💪

[@francesdoll4039]

Chris Webby tonight Tues. at 10 pm Eastetn.

[@ilesalmo7724]

Coul MTV unplugged be considered live-versions?

[@seancallahan6661]

U don’t know for sure but I think he did this because of what is going on in his country right now, trying to bring some unity with his people. The government there are taking away peoples rights, it’s sad.
