First time hearing IU (아이유) - Vocal Coach reacts to Through the Night (밤편지)

[@IU-kl8kp]

IU’s inclusion in Rolling Stone’s ‘200 Best Singers of All Time’ Rolling Stone this is the first time Korean singers are included! IU is the Korean female artist on the list, ranked 135th,She is the number one singer in KoreaShe is a wonderful writer and also a great actress❤️

[@applerider4205]

Rolling Stone is local in the US and mainly deals with English-speaking singers. You don't have to like it just because it was selected as a US local.

[@richard6025]

​@@applerider4205 I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying because an American music magazine likes her, She's not an amazing singer?

[@S4IRUX]

Jungkook?

[@Oh-wq3ts]

IU is recognized as the best artist in Korea. IU has a very good voice and good singing ability. Also, IU's song lyrics are famous for beautiful lyrics like a poem. Please react to more various IU songs (with English lyrics ^^)

[@wisnuslullaby1590]

IU is a special singer in South Korea, she's a bridge between kpop and more indie/ artistic part of k-music. She's also a bridge between fandoms and casual nusic fans/ general people. She has soooo many popular songs in S.Korea, but 2 most legendary are Good Day (2010) and this song Through The Night (2017). Through The Night is loved as "national lullaby" .... In short, IU is a S.Korean darling, and she's a complete package, as she's loved bcs of her character, beauty, vocal, and lyrics. thank you :)

[@Bobbias]

You absolutely nailed it when you said she's a versatile singer. She has an entire album which is heavily inspired by Swing/Jazz. Over her career she's sung in quite a range of genres.

[@kimbotong5556]

IU is the best♥️♥️♥️ she is an actress.. a song writer.. a producer.. model... donation angel.. she is a genius.. she sings from her heart.. even though there is a language barrier but you can feel her emotions whenever she sings..

[@Itz_scarlet]

Yay IU! I definitely recommend listening to ‘Good Day’. Her vocal performance in that song is great! I would be fun if you compare the years old performance with the more recent one to see the improvement! Btw I love your smile & positivity!! It’s soo contagious

[@TheVocalyst]

Thank you!! 🥰 I'll definitely be listening to more of her stuff. And I agree, it's so fun to see a singer's development!

[@maitesaurio]

Welcome to IU world!

[@MC_Rohr]

IU is among the few artists who actually are better live… there are many live and concert versions of this, but MMA 2017 is unreal, paired with Dear Name, another classic… the performance is anchored by tribute to spirits of ferry disaster victims (to allay your confusion)

[@richard6025]

I loved the song eight from her Golden hour concert. This song was soft but the concert shows she can also belt it out plus another amazing song

[@Jneedstostopobssessing]

IU is easily my favourite artist. Vocally she is incredible. I would really recommend checking out the video they put out of her singing Eight at her concert last year. The video is a mix of the 2 nights but the vocals are live

[@steve.hoffman]

Great reaction! Love seeing you swaying in enjoyment. I’d highly suggest IU’s Above the Time live clip version. Her voice and the production are really incredible. There’s one with English subs, too!

[@IU-so4uf]

IU has the highest viewership on killing voice 54M views {It is a musical show where the artist sings small clips of songs}. She is also the number one artist in Korea . It's hard to succeed if you're a soloist , and I'm not from a big , well - known agency but IU has succeeded and beat the biggest groups , She's tops the charts without promotions or new songs . She also won the Writer of the Year Award , I think you saw her words , as she does not write anything . She also won many major awards such as Album of the Year and others . We will not finish counting her achievements . She is also the most followed Korean female artist on Spotify , She is also the best actress , won many awards , acted with director Hirokazu Koreeda , and was nominated for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival , she's called the national treasure of Korea

[@daijoubu4529]

Her performance in "My mister" is astonishing, once in a lifetime role that relates to her own past

[@asmaaaao9788]

IU is such a genius lyricist ❤

[@mmj1327]

For korean idol, I only follow 3 out of hundreds or thousands of them. Soloist IU here who I always come to get soothing voice who comforts me most of the time, CNBLUE which a boy band where I come to hear some good voice and live version that always amaze me and give me an excitement. And MAMAMOO when I want a full vocal powers with great harmony to make me move.

[@sanmingyeh5253]

It was a big big surprised to find your IU reaction here. I’ve been following your reactions which are mostly nonkpop artists such as Dimash, Sohyang,Nightwish, Lara Fabian …those are enjoyable . However IU is my favorite artist from the beginning. For some reason, I found IU’s voice is so comforting and her lyrics is poetic and most related.

[@leloka2348]

Me too 💜

[@thaisrosenbaum6650]

IU is an amazing singer, so sweet and so strong. The recording of his reaction also gave me that sincere and sweet vibe. If you can, react to more IU songs, like you said, she's versatile, I think you'll like it.

[@jj_uaena]

if you want to see more of iu’s amazing vocals i’d highly recommend checking out some of her other ballad songs like my sea, dear name, love poem, winter sleep, etc. also you’re totally right that iu slays any genre of music. for instance her album modern times is very swing/jazz-influenced (some of my favs from that are “the red shoes,” “50cm,” “modern times”). some other iu songs that you might find interesting: jam jam, dlwlrma, the visitor, shoes, the shower tldr, iu’s discography is super diverse and full of gems!

[@larissaprates1384]

heyyy, youtube algorithm recommended this video after watching many reactions by vocal coaches of her new song. would you consider reacting to LOVE WINS ALL by IU as well?! i absolutely loved all of your notes on her singing 🥰

[@douaabelkacem9701]

IU♥

[@nope.001]

Thanks for your reaction

[@kimharry4724]

her voice is so beautiful

[@kenyditoscano6759]

IU believe this song to show her love for her fandom. Since she has insomnia, for her the greatest way to express love is to wish your loved one a sweet dream.💌🌜🐣

[@qt3.14Seb]

"all words in my heart, I can't show them all to you". Ugh!! I died a million times.

[@michaelfoley5295]

I hope you do more IU reactions. And she is one of those truly rare singers who actually songs even better live than recorded.

[@QueensThief76455]

I am thrilled you have now heard IU--she is an experience in herself. Her voice is healing for me. You can check out her recent DINGO Killing Voice for a medley of her songs where she sings live, including a snippet of this song. Her control and lovely voice shine. Her voice has the kind of beauty that is soul piercing; I find my eyes tearing up at times because it strikes me.

[@dongminrodriguez]

I enjoy my time watching your reaction to IU so much!! Thank youuuuu

[@dontshowmynameplease]

This song is one of my favorite. The song is written by IU when she got sleeplessness issue. And you can feel how soft, light and warm when she sings this song. Yes, this song heals my insomnia , and also heal a lot of people's insomnia. This makes me to be her super fan.

[@adreamer826]

Thanks for reaction on IU and especially this song This song is one of my lullaby songs including knees of IU. It's hard to explain as no words can express her talent. But still I will say she heals my soul. Once again thanks for reaction I hope you will continue reactions on our beloved IU 💜💙.

[@JeusAlprime108]

I usually listen to "Through the Night" and "Knee" back to back for Autumn. "Blueming" and "Lilac" together for Spring, "Bbi Bbi" and "Celebrity" also for fandom. They pair and compliment each other very well

[@kenyditoscano6759]

IU the number 1 artist in South Korea ☺️☺️💌

[@melodyarena8438]

Thank you for reacting to IU, love your reaction so much. She is indeed a versatile singer, and she is one of the singers with rich textures in her voice. I hope you can react to her song "My Sea", the lyrics is beautiful and her textures are just lovely.. I'm curious how would you breakdown the song and her singing technique in it..

[@ladydotele]

You are definitely right. She's a really versatile singer. I hope you'll check out more of her discography. Thank you for the lovely reaction

[@theark7728]

welcome to IUniverse

[@riya_gaushal]

Queen of SK👑💍👸💅✊

[@DownKillerBadDog]

You hit the nail on the head. She is insanely versatile. She is also an award winning actress.. one of the biggest humanitarians and an advanced police officer with promotions through her work finding lost or bullied children. Her first song was called ‘Lost Child’ she debut it at 15 year old (about 15 years ago) and it’s crazy good… everything she does is. Hotel Del Luna and My Mister both on Netflix and AMAZING. LEE JI EUN aka IU “BECAUSE MUSIC BRINGS I AND YOU TOGETHER” IU got knocked back soo many times because she isnt bubble gum pop. After ‘Lost Child’ her management went to a fortune teller and asked if they should drop IU. (Koreans are very superstitious.) They said… “ IU will become the nation’s favourite and when she does.. you must move!” (???) IU released ‘GOOD DAY’ that earned her the nickname “The nations little sister”. Her company packed up and moved… Shortly after that, their old business was destroyed by a landslide. Another fortune teller famously predicted and renamed a little Thai girl named Pranpriya Manobal now known worldwide as Lalisa Manobal (LALISA MEANING THE ONE WHO IS PRAISED) aka Lisa from BLACKPINK.

[@JDC-bm6kr]

nice reaction, I love it👍 its one of the best so far💯👏 Your explanation is very informative as well☑️ Thank U for reacting on this💟, I hope that you can also react on her other songs, MV's & especially her live clips & performances again nxt time😊

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

IU is absolutely the real deal. I've seen her have to sing in the cold at 6am to karaoke tracks of her own songs for some ridiculous candid camera thing, and she (carefully) slayed straight through like a boss, including crazy high long notes at the end (after a mod). She's totally schooled as well as naturally gifted, truly the whole package.

[@elennieeee]

More IU reactions, pleaaaseee 🥹🫶

If by any chance you find time to react to IU again, I would like to recommend "Dear Name" or "Love Poem"...

[@Godbooteringword]

Hi Bethany, i like your reactions. There come sometimes where you find yourself in a delicate situation when it comes to choose a favorite song; cause there are so many things that can bring up a song: the melody of course, the words, the rhythm, the structure, a solo, and so on. But sometimes we end up by having a choice that becomes the good one as we keep on listening to this song and soaking in it. It's like what you've always wanted for your life; you know it without knowing it, you've heard a voice without having heard it that has been telling you without having told you what will soothe to your soul; and you will not realize that until it happens. Music is something pure. I respect every song because there is a lot that has been going on in back ground inorder to make a song, so to speak. Music is one of the best way, if not the best,to express many things that people depend on, whether you like it or not; there are things you feel deep inside of you that can't be literally explained while talking... it's like the melody of an image, the perfume of a word, the expression of a silence, the power of the humility, and so on. But because of your love of music, a mere smile, but being at the same time overlaid with some virtue, like that of a kind hearted person, and a blushed face like that of a fascinated girl, can make everything comes clear in your head; and the rest can be history. Me, as a gospel and social song composer, when I take to composing a song I'm no black skin nor white skin; nationality is put aside, so is my profession inorder to be real; i mean the real me. Music has done me good. Thanks to God who is my inspiration, the music allow me to experience the meaning of true love. Before I had the difficulty to explain how it feels to be in love; but my experience with the music let me know this feeling. The music is doing it again and again. Someone has said "you must not only do what you love but you gotta learn to love"; and Martin Luther king had recognized that he had lived his life in its fullness because he had accomplished his duty of being a hero. All he'd done was for morality, for justice. To day we need people like him.The devil is a liar. In a game that put two teams one vs the other, there must be an impartial referee inorder to avoid the unacceptable that can lead to chaos; but if the referee form up a team with one of these two teams, especially the one that's playing ugly, in a such case it's the world upsidedown. The devil is is a liar. What's so revolting with the devil is because there's absolutely nothing that someone can appreciate in his actions; you find that he is at the same time the tempter the accuser and the judge; does that make any sense. But, in contrast, God as a lawyer and judge totally make sense. I thank God for having blessed me by his grace. We need some heroic people inorder to strike a balance; the beautiful and the just result the true. And if you're the author of a mess and they give you a chance to fix it, don't do matters worse bu instead take the advantage to do it respectfully. Life could be beautiful, but the mankind sucks. Fortunately we have music.

As a korean that doesn't have a high view of kpop, IU is, IMO, one of the greats in music history for vocals. This is my favorite IU track.

[@clokem2002]

IU is so multi-talented being a singer songwriter, lyricist, mc, hosting her Palette shows where she talks with her guests in depth and they cover each other's song. She also models for famous brands. She is an amazing actress, her film Broker from Director Koreeda won so many awards around the world including Cannes where she caused a sensation with her acting, red carpet and fan service. You won't regret reacting to her music and if you react to her Palette shows you will fall in love with her personality, in depth conversation and song covers 😍

She did sing in a lot of genre. You can react to her Killing Voice. There, she sings snippet of many of her songs that was released in her 20's (2012-2021) She sings completely live there.

IU has a beautiful voice and undoubtedly knows how to use it skillfully. However, when I think of IU, I see a complete artist who excels in artistic expression, being it vocally, musically, visually, or lyrically, or just comprehensively in all aspects for the delivery of the intended message.

[@veach737]

so glad to welcome yet another person who enjoys and loves iu's vocals! i have a few recommendations of her live concert videos to watch for you as well! this encore was done after like...hours and hours of her concert (iu is very known to hold extremely long concerts, and extremely long encores!!), and so here's her stripped down LOL singing an encore of two of her songs, Rain Drop and Heart, which are difficult to sing in like so SO many ways... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYmxmKKDfdZ-d8U and from her most recent concert, the Golden Hour! kzbin.info/www/bejne/banTqKykh72Uppo (Ah Puh, Heart, Drama and Epilogue!

[@peculiarrandom685]

Queen IU She tries different genre everytime. She is a lyricist, host, actress, producer, charity angel and many more

[@ytoklee]

This song is a message from the IU of the past to the IU of the future. IU of the past is expressed in white clothes. The future IU is expressed in red clothes. The clothes color change from white to red little by little.

[@DougGratton]

Lots of great Korean singers

[@jkk4303]

You are right about that IU can cover many genres and she never makes same type of the songs. IU is an amazing song writer, composer, and the producer! She is also an outstanding actress who was nominated at Cannes for one of her movie’s. IU is best singing live and she is known that she eats her CD’s since her live singing is just like the CD and better! She is the idol of all idols in SK and many singers are dying to duet with her and of course she has many duets because of it. You should check out her live performances and she also has many special clips singing with her band.

[@irzesth6322]

An Epic Symphony & Cem Adrian - Kül

[@marinoconnor8592]

She's able to interpret songs like this so well because she writes the majority of them herself, including this one. As such, she knows exactly what tone or inflection she's going for; what the story she's telling is; and how not to belabor it with going too big just to show she can. She clearly has the ability to go high and bold, but she tends to focus on more intimate and personal moments - which may be why she's had such an amazing career.

[@elchick8328]

Love your reaction videos! Two more recommendations for you to review: "25" from the Pretty Reckless. (I absolutely love Taylor Momsen's voice. Something about it makes me think of a modern Joan Jett). They have a lot of great songs, and I like them even more than Halestorm, which you've already reviewed and enjoyed. "Scarborough Fair" as done by Colm McGuinness. He just released it. His Irish lilt is delightful, and he has some AMAZING power and vocal range to him. As a bonus, he generally plays all the instruments in his videos too. Anyway, I've wanted to recommend these two artists to you for a while now. They both have a great library to choose from if you ever need more songs to review, and I'd love to see your reactions to them! Regardless, thank you for your videos, and keep them up! I love watching the emotions flash across your face as you watch and listen, and I love the way you actually listen to the song for a while instead of interrupting every 3 seconds like other reviewers I've seen. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for everything, and keep up the great work!! ❤️
