SHINEE "Love Like Oxygen" Music Video Reaction *Throwback Thursday*

[@paullu5139]

Love Like Oxygen is a Certified Hood Classic.

[@MyCode61116]

This was actually from 2008, so almost 14 years. And.. this song slaps

[@TRCReactions]

This reaction is a few years old.

[@charithavenkatesh.b7402]

This song and video is from 2008 (13yrs ago)... SM changed their channel and re-uploaded all the MV prior to the new channel 8yrs ago

[@milindawilson9175]

The Korean version of "Love Like Oxygen" was released as the lead promotional track on SHINee's first full length album The SHINee World in August 2008. It was their first release after their debut single "Replay" in May 2008, so this MV is actually more than 13 years old. (Remember, SM launched their new KZbin Channel in 2011, and they reuploaded all their older MVs to the new channel at that time. So, all their older content has a 2011 date, but is often much older.) Fun fact: They also released a Japanese version of "Love Like Oxygen" in 2011 as part of the group's Japanese debut. Taemin had just turned 15 years old right before this MV was released. Onew and Jonghyun were 18 and Key and Minho were 16. SHINee's level of professionalism and maturity was there from the very beginning -- there were only 2 or 3 months between "Replay" and "Love like Oxygen." :D It's just SHINee's style, they are constantly switching up the feel and vibe with every song you hear from them. As you may have noticed, you didn't hear Taemin sing very much in this song. In SHINee's early days Taemin didn't have a whole lot of lines in their songs. As you may know, people even used to make fun of Taemin's singing and they would say that he was tone deaf and couldn't sing. However, it's sort of a misconception that Taemin "couldn't sing." it wasn't that he couldn't sing, it was just that he debuted when he was so young -- he was only 14 years old -- that his voice hadn't really developed yet and he didn't really have a good grasp of how to use his voice and produce the sounds he wanted with it. So, in the beginning, when he sang he was often flat or his voice cracked or he was off key or out of tune, etc. And because he was being compared to the other members of SHINee who are all 2 to 4 years older than him, and the other members had such phenomenal voices to start out with, it really made Taemin sound like he was lacking. That's why in these first few songs you will see that he only has a few lines, and most of the time he was just given big solo dance breaks to fill the stage at his parts in the song. However, if he was really tone deaf he never would have become an SM Idol trainee -- SM would have put him on the dance track and probably steered him toward becoming a backup dancer -- and he definitely would have never become the amazing singer that he is today. Someone who is truly tone deaf is physically unable to hear the difference in the notes and is unable to carry a tune. But Taemin really wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't just a dancer, so he spent a lot of extra time concentrating on vocal lessons and the other SHINee members -- especially Onew and Jonghyun -- spent some serious time coaching and mentoring him until he learned what it took to match their vocal range and to use his voice. If you notice, Taemin's style of singing, especially in SHINee songs, is a lot like Jonghyun -- SHINee's main vocalist, and one of the best vocalists in the industry. And the more you get into SHINee, you will see that Taemin fills in for Jonghyun whenever Jonghyun was unable to participate in a performance. And even today, Taemin often takes over the high notes and the parts that I think would probably have been Jonghyun's parts in their new songs -- he has now become one of SHINee's main vocalists. Jonghyun was the one that really took Taemin under his wing and helped him to become the singer that he is today. So, many think that Taemin's voice emulates Jonghyun because he is the one that taught Taemin to sing. Jonghyun has always been Taemin's biggest supporter and the one that rooted for him the hardest and loudest out of anyone. Jonghyun is famous for that MJ growl and vocal cry that you heard in this song. And it's Jonghyun's vocals that pretty much shapes SHINee's style and sound. The one you hear with the high notes, long notes and adlibs in SHINee's songs most of the time is Jonghyun. SHINee is made up of some of the most unique voices in all of Kpop, so once you start to recognize their voices, you will never wonder who is speaking or singing ever again. Pretty much all Shawols will tell you the same thing -- we can recognize all their voices instantly no matter the situation and we don't even have to see their faces to know it's them. That's how unique all of their voices are -- there is no one with a voice like any of theirs. One of the things SHINee are known for is their harmonies, and they have one of the best 5 part harmonies in the industry. That is one of the reasons why they are known as a top vocal group and why they are so admired by their peers. Their harmonies are unmatched. And this was baby SHINee, just imagine how good their harmonization has become now that their voices have matured. Just wait until you hear them live, now that they fully understand how to present the full range of their vocal color. :D You will be blown away. To sum up exactly what SHINee's style is: they are vocal powerhouses that create universally popular pop songs. :D When it comes to SHINee you can't expect anything except that it will be uniquely SHINee and probably one of the best songs and performances you will ever experience. Every song that SHINee has ever released is unlike any other and it won't sound or look like anything you have ever seen from them, including the songs on the same album. That's why they have such a big influence on the music industry, even from day one. SHINee's whole concept since debut is they are supposed to be SM's experimental boy group, so they are constantly making and setting trends. And songs like "Love Like Oxygen" are a good example of that. You wanna know what trends SHINee has started? Let's make a list: -- They are one of the first groups to start the trend of skinny colored jeans and form-fitting outfits that showed off their athletic psychics for male idols. Before SHINee, the trend was hip-hop style with baggy clothing that was 3 times too big. (SHINee started the boyfriend/student look.) Their fashion trends have been given the name "SHINee Trend." -- They were one of the first groups to have sharp precise synchronized dance moves and to show the world that they could sing live while performing complex choreography and sound flawless. Because of SHINee, everyone upped their standard when it comes to live performances and choreography. -- They were the very first group to release a dance practice video specifically so fans could see the full dance, and they were the first to have a dance practice video become a trending video online. They are the reason why dance practice videos are a thing today. -- Jonghyun was one of the first IDOLS to be recognized as a singer/songwriter, and to produce songs for not only himself and his group, but for other artists as well. Jonghyun was highly respected within the industry for his songwriting and composing skills and he was considered one of the most prolific artists of his generation. About 40% of SHINee's songs were wrote by him, as well as all of his own solo songs and several songs for other artists, such as EXO, Taemin, IU, Lee HI, etc. -- And SHINee pretty much starts almost every trend in the music industry when it comes to the sound and style of their music. And every song they release is expected to be something that has never been seen or heard before. Not only is it expected to be something they have never done before, but they are expected to come up with a sound and style that has never been done before in the entire music industry. The industry looks to SHINee to set the trends and to show them the next direction to take. And that continues still today even after more than 13 years in the industry. -- SHINee are also often the ones to start the next dance style or trend in the Kpop industry with their choreography. -- They were one of the first groups to use a world-famous choreographer to create their dance for their "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" MV. "Sherlock" was the first time SM (or pretty much anyone in the Kpop industry) had ever used a famous choreographer, and at the time, it was the most expensive Kpop production ever. -- They are also the group that is most likely to appear on the first episode or on the pilot episode of a new variety show and it is said that it's good luck to have SHINee on the program first because that means it will be a success.

SHINee “ Juliette” MV

[@PantzLuvzKpop]

Thanks for your reactions!! Love Like Oxygen is a cover of Martin - Show the World. It is SHINee's 2nd ever MV after Replay released in 2008 so it's actually 13 years old. My favorite color combo in general is blue & gray so I really love Minho's blue and silver 😊

[@aquariaaustin2077]

One of my favorite songs by them. That they did it when they weren't even 20--good grief. Loved all of Jonghyuns riffs, especially. He had some amazing vocal runs in this that don't get enough credit.

[@rosietales]

This was my first kpop mv and song and ever since then I couldn't leave lol Shinee is a staple group in kpop history, even people that don't listen to kpop anymore cherish them well.

[@ethelralte1024]

Taemin is so young, his dance is so mesmerising,love Shinee.

[@NguyenAn-lm8ex]

Anytime I see SHINee vids like this I just auto tear up because after this it would never be the same again. The friendship, music, laughs just transcend. Sleep well Jonghyun, you are missed by us ALL and your voice and contributions live on. love like oxygen is a fave early SHINee song of mine and I love the choreo for this so hard

[@eszeezee6967]

This is the song that got me hook on that guy in yellow and gold. 13 years on, still one of my fav Shinee songs and choreography. Simply superb.

I'm loving the throwback Thursdays! Thank you so much for this reaction. Check out shinees your number black version it is dope as hell.

[@cozkeyisinnct]

love like oxygen will always have a place in my heart. they really look young here but they have a men version for this when they performed in a music show when key became an mc for the show. they almost scrapped the backing track as their voices have changed and it was my favorite love like oxygen stage.

[@Morgase68]

This is one of my favorite Shinee songs. Defintely Top 5 . Its so funny seeing Taemin so young. He did look like a baby but I don't think anyone ever expected to see him in videos like Want, Idea, Advice. Our Baby grew up.
