Vocal Coach & Songwriter React to V (BTS) singing live - Tiny Desk Korea | Song Reaction & Analysis

[@throga]

Thank you for all of the comments that convinced us to watch this live performance!! Go vote for J-Hope at www.youtube.com/@Throga/community and be sure to mark your calendar for October 16th at 8AM EST to join us live with Taylor Mari!!

[@BirdBird-wr8px]

I really wanted to be able to put into words how good and how important J-Hope is for the armys. But unfortunately, I don't have the gift of speech. And I'm getting emotional, just thinking about him.🥹 Sou tão parva e já tenho idade para ter juízo.🤦‍♀️

[@BirdBird-wr8px]

Just one thing, J-Hope is perfect! And it's not me saying it, but the other members of BTS. They said in an episode of "Run BTS" that Hobi's only flaw was that he didn't have any flaws. PS: When you have nothing to do, put on episodes of BTS's variety show, "Run BTS". In addition to getting to know their personalities better, there are programs that are comedy gold.

[@karolinahajduk6892]

Hope one day you will find time to check the show "SUCHWITA" - it was made by Yoongi for all BTS members to promote and talk about their solo works. I think checking it would give you a lot of insight into who they are, what is their approach to music and performance, and the bond between each other. They are simply so sweet and loving and respectful toward each other - it is a blessing to witness it. As much as I like people getting to know BTS through fan-made guides, I feel like "SUCHWITA" opened the room to get to know members through their own voices and dynamics with each other rather than through what fans pick to show in their guides. Each episode is quite short but densely packed content, easy to enjoy. Hope one day you will check it.

[@스파이링링]

react to fix you bts plz~!

[@SknezE]

For JK, I will recommend a song that is really amazing and people don't often mention. It's called "Stay Alive". I would recommend this link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHnQhZ97hNSda8k&pp=ygUNSksgc3RheSBhbGl2ZQ%3D%3D And, I would recommend "Still With You". And, maybe "Dreamers" he did for the World Cup because that shows him differently. I will caveat that I am not a huge fan of JK's new music because it's American/British pop and not much talent needed, if you will. The lyrics are limited focused on sex. It's more I'm showing off my chest, than I'm showing off my singing talent. IMO But, up to you! J-Hope is such a different artist that probably switches his styles the most from anyone in BTS. I love "More" and "Arson" from his new album. I think a lot of people will recommend that and with good reason. They're a MUST. I would also recommend "Day Dream" from his previous mixtape so you can see almost a180 shift from the new album. I also really like his song "Ego" a lot. Thanks for your reactions!

my opinion here is that we need to start including taehyung more in conversations about best vocalists in kpop bc that man has been singing LIVE at every promotion and he has sounded exactly like the studio recordings every single time but he’s adding his own twists as well❤❤❤❤

YEEEESS!!! I agree 💜

You must check out V’s live versions of his solo songs - Singularity and Stigma. V has the widest vocal range in the group and for a baritone, he is able to match the high notes of the tenors in the group. He has one of the most versatile vocal tones and effects like his growling. RM has said that V can sing any genre, he is that versatile. You’re going to love the tiny desk. V is a musicians musician. He gives time to the band to have their moment to shine. As he loves jazz and classical music this performance was what he envisioned when doing his album.

His album Layover is V in a nutshell. The love for jazz, the artistic creativity, the old soul, the unique vibe, and the ridiculously intoxicating voice. I can listen to him sing anything. This is a great performance. If you ever are bored lol and want to watch all his MV's in order, the art that he puts into them is also amazing.

[@chrisevert7539]

V is also an actor, which makes him really good at telling stories through his music. He has the ability to communicate the emotion of the song, just as does when he's acting. And he also plays the saxophone, which explains the respect he has for the musicians. The instrumental section in this performance is way longer than the studio version.

[@andruslowe513]

V’s Tiny Desk performance will give you the full measure of deep, smoky, honeyed baritone voice. Plus his love of jazz. This is completely different than what he does as a member of BTS. Seven members - seven different voices and musicalities. I can’t wait until you see how these seven come together in a BTS song. 💜 Welcome to ARMY. 💜 Now, deciding which BTS song to listen to first!

It's only V who broke the typical k-pop music illusion. Now more k-pop idols following his music style and daring to take the risk for different genres

[@alm9535]

I was so delighted by your excitement especially Johnny. You are so right, V has so much respect and adoration for musicians and bands because he loves jazz and various instrumentation. You can tell how very happy he is in this performance. There's another jamming session with the same band. They are actually guest musicians- a few were flown in for this Tiny Desk Korea performance (off shoot of the original NPR Tiny Desk mini concert in the US). I think one of the vocalists is based in Seoul. These amazing musicians have played for so many American artists. I think they all became close with V. He is such an extraordinary and special person. A little tidbit V loves Cole Porter's song performed by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby - Now You Has Jazz from the musical High Society.😊🎉

[@Kodamakitty]

I was looking for this reply - thanks, @alm9535! Tiny Desk NPR has been really good to BTS. BTS had a Tiny Desk (at Home) during the pandemic that does feature their regular touring band, Ghost. It's where the tag, "Tiny, but not so tiny concert" comes from. RM featured in a Tiny Desk for his solo album, Indigo (2023) where he also includes songs from both BTS and his other solo mixtapes. ^_^

BTS is way beyond KPOP at this point.. They are at their 10th year in the business with over 900 awards up in their sleeves. And yes, it’s sad when people stereotypes them. But they have proven time and time again what they can do in terms of their musicality. Their discography is very vast and colorful. Live singing plus heavy choreography??? Damn.

The mark of a true artist is when you are confident in your own talent that you are willing to shine your spotlight on others. V has genuine love for music & is most happy when he shines his own light on people around him. He appreciates & gives recognition to talents.

[@alipotter0613]

You say you had the wrong impression of BTS and Kpop in the beginning. Well I just want to reiterate, BTS are an anomily within Kpop. They are not like any other group and I would say they are not even a 'boyband' anymore. They would be best described as 7 different artists with different tastes who come together and make magic when they do! They can now sustain themselves as soloists but choose to be together. And in every promotion Tae has done over the last few weeks he is singing live every time. Amazing.💜

[@Taisie_Bunn]

V's whole live gig setup, arrangements, and way of performing as a solo artist is so old school jazz. I love that he's keeping this particular kind of professionalism alive. I feel like he's going to introduce lounge jazz singing to multiple generations.

For me, the songs that V BTS sings are very soothing, try listening to the song when you want to sleep, or you need relaxation.

Sweet Night 3. Stigma (High Note) 4. Singularity 5. Scenery 6. Inner Child 7. Christmas Tree ( Ost. KDrama) 8. Snow Flower (ft.peak boy) 9. 4 O.clock ( ft.RM) 10. Friends (ft. Jimin) 11. Hug me (ft. J-hope) 12. A Brand New Day ( ft. Zara Larson and j-hope) 13. Even if i die, it's you (Ost. KDrama Hwarang -ft.jin) 14. Someone Like You (cover) 15. Travel with me (Short song) Enjoy, 16.

Taehyung has a flavour of jazz in him. Even though layover is pop rnb, he has some jazz sprinkled in there which makes it so authentic to tae and his origin. His voice of course is just a magnificent fit for the genre. Just like this each member have their own influence which is reflected in their music. Jimin is influenced by artists like troye and usher... Jungkook is currently the classic pop star who takes influences from other pop stars Justin timberlake and Justin Bieber. Jin is leaning heavily into the coldplay style pop rock and the korean trot singing style. Jhope sounds mainly like 90s hiphop grunge mix of wutang, biggie and the new jcole. Namjoon listened to everything and he sounds like indie music mixed with pop. Agust d has both rock and classic hiphop style with a mix of piano rap. BTS as a whole sounds like everyone combined and mashed up together.

Why did i know you guys will like this hahaha. Seriously one of his best live performances. How many artists nowadays do we know who would take a step back & let the band have a long moment :). That band (note: his crew for his album not BTS) was chef’s kiss! And, one of the things I thought first listening to his album - honest. genuine. If you guys ever circle back to him, please listen to STIGMA (note: BTS members have solo songs within their albums & this is one of his). This one shows off his top range. And then LE JAZZ DE V (note: this is a live performance released as a gift to fans during their 10th anniversary). This one shows off his jazz baritone. He’s an old & gentle soul who was always into jazz soul r&b. He learned 🎷 when he was young & played a ‘lil in the band sessions (available in bangtan tv KZbin channel), tried to learn trumpet & violin too. It’s truly amazing how all the members are so “individual” yet so cohesive when performing as a group.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

Hey guys! So glad you enjoyed listening to V! You made a good choice. I just want to offer a little help with some Korean pronunciation. "Jungkook" (and all Korean words with the letter J ) is pronounced with a short, hard J like in 'jump'. In fact you can even pronounce J a bit closer to a 'ch' sound. The letter J will never be soft or buzzy, never 'zzhung-kook". The sounds associated with letter Z don't exist in the Korean language. They don't have that letter. Funny bonus fact: They don't actually have a letter V either! In the Korean alphabet V's name is spelled "뷔" ( Bui) which are the letters ㅂ (b) ㅜ (u) andㅣ( i).

[@mickieb7417]

V is a huge jazz fan. He is also a lovely person from all I have seen. He was on Suga's talk show, and they were both reminiscing about their journey and agreed that they were very lucky to be in a group with genuine, selfless, and kind members. They also spoke of looking forward to getting the team back together. Every member has had success with their solo projects. Reinforcing my belief, BTS is a group of tallented solo artists who choose to be a group. If you look further into V's solo work with the group you are going to see his range in his songs Stigma and Singularity. They have to be heard live to get the full picture and including the dancing and pageantry that is typical of Kpop, but in a way only BTS can deliver. I am so ready for you to catch a live group performance. You will love it.

[@MsNomzie]

Tae on stage shows so much emotion in live performances. But his vocal range is just insane, from deep growling to high notes people have often been shocked at what his voice can do. He is extremely down to earth and used to spend time just playing video games with ARMY.

[@leahwarburton]

Tae loves music. All music. But he does have a special love, and appreciation, for Jazz. Whenever we get to see one of his playlists somehow, and it doesn't really matter how it starts, eventually he ends up with Etta James. And you really have to love a guy, in this day and age, who appreciates the classics.💜

[@Junggooki]

*if there’s a main takeaway from these Layover performances it should be realizing just how much Taehyung loves music and singing live* 💛💛💛💛

[@jinsmoonmarie6452]

SUGA defined KPOP as integrated content: “‘K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.” That said, a song like Slow Dancing is not KPOP, it is just a heavenly R&B/Soul track. This band was assembled by V specifically for Layover promotions - and you can see how much he reveres this type of music and his sincere happiness that he is able to give his favorite type of music to ARMY💜

Now I love your voice and everything.

Уххх... я испытала НАИВЫСШЕЕ наслаждение, нереально КРАСИВЫЙ солист Ким Тэхён, абсолютно с ГЕНИАЛЬНЫМ исполнением, покорил меня до глубины души. Его голос глубокий и бездонный как океан, фантастически КРАСИВЫЙ вокал, МАСТЕРСКОЕ, ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЕ исполнение с отличительным и узнаваемым тембром голоса, не похожий ни с одним певцом в мире, он запоминается с первых слов его исполнения. Тэхён слитый с ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНОЙ и ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ командой музыкантов, он гордится ими, это меня очень порадовало. Атмосфера тепла и уюта, любовь витает даже в воздухе при виде КРАСАВЦА Тэхёна, при его фантастически красивом вокале и при мастерстве музыкального коллектива и бэк вокалистов, хочется к ним, хочется слушать Тэхёна и наслаждаться прекрасной игрой музыкантов. Я в полном восторге !!! Очень ВАЖНО то, что красавец Тэхён с лицом АНГЕЛА, сам испытывает наслаждение от своего пения и от игры музыкантов, это было потрясающе. СПАСИБО большое, очень приятно наблюдать за реакцией милых и весёлых профессионалов.

Glad you both enjoyed this live performance by V. V is the old soul of BTS with the smooth, warm and sexy voice tone. I think he is true to his love of jazz/R&B and it shows in his first solo album release.

[@rapperthv]

Waiting..💜 btw taehyung loves instrumentals as you can tell by these songs too he likes to appreciate instrumentals not only in layover but his other old solos stuff also have parts for instrumentals to shine, he loves saxophone 🎷 and he even learned it for 3-6 years when he was in middle school he played it in his recent slow dancing live session too 💜

[@zincklesX]

Yes, Tae and his band gave us an amazing band sessions performing his new songs in a cozy atmosphere. Seeing him play his sax was a bonus!

[@DeborahPlatt-zu1zy]

There's something about Taehyung's voice that hits me right in the heart ❤

[@ailynken4824]

V has such a wide range !!! He is my favorite vocalist of BTS.. there is such a warm touch on his voice .. very distinct on his own but can he can reach as high range too, his low tone is to die for … watch stigma and singularity ! For me he is very authentic on his own and stick on what color and music he wants.. and this album shows his genuine heart and love for music.. he is a try artist .

[@leighparker233]

Good choice! Love V’s solo work, it suits him and his voice and feels truely authentic …

[@BTS_BORAHAE_ARMY_OT7]

His voice 🥹 It's so relaxing and dreamy 🤍🎤🎶This performance of "Slow Dancing" by V / Kim Taehyung on Tiny Desk Korea is sublime! A new favorite! 🥹 Huge props to the live band for complementing V's vocals & energy so well! ✨💜

[@laurapineda7235]

Taehyung tiene una voz única, y el prefirió hacer la música que le gusta aún sabiendo que actualmente está música podría no gustarle a los jóvenes, pero no es música que vaya a pasar de moda, la he escuchado desde que salió Layover y me fascina cada día me gusta más. ❤

[@martaargel1380]

Opino lo mismo...es un gran álbum, muy jazz&blues, encuentro que V tiene lejos la mejor voz de BTS...me encanta

[@cindymx02]

RM tiny desk is also a good one. The rest of the members also have really awesome live performances.

[@user-mx9nn7ij6z]

Судя по количеству комментариев, много неравнодушных к альбому Taehyung, это радует! Он этого достоин, потому что альбом уникальный, как и голос V и личность!

[@user-ee3cd7qu8g]

Альбом Тэхена как глоток свежего воздуха. Очень душевно. А если в наушниках и закрыть глаза ,как в нирване. Просто улетаешь.

[@ГалинаБухарина-г8т]

Ким Тэхён невероятно талантливый, обаятельный, милый, доброжелательный, скромный, позитивный и очень красивый, самый лучший из лучших!!! Желаю Тэхёну творческих успехов, удачи во всех делах и начинаниях. Всем всего самого доброго в жизни! 🐯✌💚💛💗💙🧡💖💜👍👏☺

[@brieezy373]

V's whole album is such a love letter to jazz and blues. This is V's groove. I'm born and raised in Motown and this man could drink me under the table with r&b, jazz and blues knowledge. He can do anything but with this album he showed us his heart. 💜

[@heymisslayla]

I've come to know them as a group first before getting to know their individual artistry. So I know what they're capable of together. But when you said that you both haven't even seen them dancing (while singing), that makes me wonder what if my first introduction to V is through this soul, jazzy songs--just like you guys--then someone told me that he can dance (street/hip hop) so good? I'd probably say there's no way...but here we are 😃 It's like a reminder for me, that it's not often that we get to see special talents like them. Cheers!

[@fireworks_6549]

This was lovely. V is such a vibe. His personality, his fashion, his taste in music, even his music videos. Such a satisfying pleasant aesthetic. I can't wait for you guys to explore some more. Jhope's lollapalloza performance (with subtitles) is such a joy too and a totally different take on music as well. I also CAN NOT WAIT for the Taylor guide!!

[@evantesseract737]

V made a whole album of songs you want to perform in loose live sessions in a bar where the people listening get up and dance, you know? And you stop to shout out the band, and sometimes you decide it's a good night to add a whole verse without telling anyone and just figure they'll catch up. The audience loves it and laughs with you when you forget the words at one point and start singing about the people you can see in the crowd. It's perfect for this kind of intimate setting and these songs *belong* live. I really love that he's doing music that highlights everyone in the group - with instrumental solos! - and is clearly just so so fun to play. When he went on IU's show Palette he complimented the band several times and even attempted to poach them entirely 😂 it's a great interview and a really fun moment. He caught her off guard when he asked to steal her band 🤣

[@clbock1227]

V was mostly raised by his Grandmother, and I think this turned him into an old soul. He is such a unique person and I love the timbre of his voice. He does tend to sit on the bottom side of the pitch when he sings. When he was younger, he had a lot of pitch issues when he sang live. But, he's worked hard and really matured into a wonderful musician.

[@LynVergara-ri9mu]

I'm really happy with your reaction of V's songs. He's really a good & humble man, that' s the reasons we love him so much. God bless

[@0.0TK]

Taehyung's relationship with his entire team (actors, dancers, the band, the staff) left me even more in love with that beautiful man🥹❤️ It's so cute to see him interact with everyone so naturally and so close. The work environment stops being work with him around, Taehyung makes people feel comfortable with him. He's someone so warm, with so much charisma, that his joy and enthusiasm is contagious, it's impossible not to adore him, not to smile when you see him happy, know someone like him or more precisely him is to win in life. More than co-workers, they end up becoming a beautiful family, who welcomed Taehyung and made him feel free, he enjoyed working with them so much that it comes across the screen. I can only thank the entire team who was with him for treating Taehyung with respect and affection, the result of that was seeing him with a beautiful smile in each behind-the-scenes video, sharing moments with the team, having a good time, and creating beautiful memories 🥹❤️

V's voice has not yet been mastered by western,He still pure voices,But when he sang i can feels every single lyrics.

[@janettmorales4424]

Thanks for reacting to V, ARMY, we were expecting this album and we knew it would surprise us with the jazz musical style, which he really likes. For me his voice is a delight and hearing him live in this presentation with the band is a perfect complement. Richard, you are absolutely right when you say that V is sweet and humble just like his BTS brothers, despite having completed 10 years in their musical career, they have their feet very firmly on the ground... Thank you again, a hug, mom ARMY From Chile 💜

[@IrineKim-q7r]

Альбом Layover V - это музыкальный шедевр. Какой красивый богатый голос у V, это наслаждение слушать его! Спасибо Tae за хорошую музыку, будь счастлив и пусть все вершины покоряются тебе всегда!

[@glossaria2]

re: the band, this is a session band (I can't say "only" a session band, because they're a PHENOMENAL band). And interesting side note-- to really bring home that 70s vibe-- the sax solo at the end of "Slow Dancing" is a flute solo in the album version. :D V is a huge fan of jazz and R&B, and it's no surprise to ARMY that his first solo album reflects that. And it was a little harder to hear here because it's in the backing track, but the "vocal effect" you commented on in "For Us" is that the entire vocal track is sped up at the beginning. The "interesting journey" is when it's modulated back down to normal speed (which, to me, is one of the coolest and downright gutsiest effects I've ever heard on an album). Concerning his chest-to-head transition-- V's a natural baritone, but a lot of K-pop music for male groups is pitched for tenors (basically, where the average female fan's singing voice would be). V's upper range is VERY well-developed because that's where we usually hear him sing in BTS ensemble pieces. (And if you listen to any more of his solo songs from further back, you'll learn that he's got one hell of a falsetto.)

[@carolerodgers2710]

V is magic!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BirdBird-wr8px]

Tae has a fantastic voice. He has very peculiar and diverse musical tastes, but we tend to associate the jazz style more with him. My favorite songs of his are: Snow Flower (Christmas song) ; It's Definitely You (feat with Jin), Rainy Days (from the new album) and Sweet Night (an OST from a k-drama Itaweeon Class). And he was once considered one of the most handsome men in the world. For the armys it continues to be so.

[@user-mx9nn7ij6z]

В 2023 он снова признан самым красивым))

[@lex81179]

Si el cantara musica mas popular, bailable y pegajosa seguro que hubiera llegado a los primeros lugares por mas tiempo, pero el canto lo que a él le gusta lo que lo hace feliz y realmente se ve que disfruta su musica y en verdad el no necesita de ninguna colaboración él brilla por si solo y quienes amamos la buena musica se lo agradecemos.

[@rjs722]

Perfection. We just love everything about V and about this album. Each member had their own promotion style that fit their releases. I love that V did a lot of live performances that were laid back and intimate. He just shines. Some folks were a little disappointed that he did not deliver a more theatrical performance vocally and dancing more on this album because he is able to do so. I love that he stayed true to the vision he had and that he promised he would deliver. He has plenty of time to deliver the charismatic flashy V when he is performing with BTS. Lord knows he has got that stage presence no matter what. I have been listening to this album and his performances on loop since they came out. I only wish the songs and the album were longer. A live version album would be snatched up in an instant. BTS and their members have grown so far beyond KPop.

[@user-wy1bg9qf8k]

Браво V, ты мой самый любимый вокалист BTS... Он прекрасен и внешне и внутренне. V не просто поет, он растворяется в музыке, он заражает всех вокруг любовью, теплом и нежностью. Вокруг него всегда какая-то волшебная аура добра и счастья. Люблю этого мальчика и желаю ему всего самого наилучшего.

[@isaobregon5532]

This is definitely ear candy for musicians, also the respect and how V genuinely enjoys what the band does is amazing. My favorite tiny desk so far 💗

[@psychokitty71]

If you would like to get an idea of just how sweet and kind Taehyung/V really is, he recently participated in an event where ARMYs submitted applications to spend time with him. They had to tell a little about themselves and what they would like to do with him, if they had the chance. Taehyung chose the winner and surprised her at a cafe. The whole video is only 14 minutes long and very sweet and heartwarming. I'll include a link in a reply to this post.

V is really genuine 😊 They all are. You'll feel it, for ten years success didn't change how they are as a person. From their humble beginnings up until to this day they were told to be just themself. Far from groomed and scripted groups. Their CEO wants them to be true to themself and that was the reason ARMYs loves them. They are all talented, hardworking and kind. 💜

[@ladyd1328]

Now you now V's soul when you see him on BTS keeping his essence but killing it in what ever tone they need him you will loose your mind. Check BTS songs Singularity , Blue and Grey, winter bear and Jump

[@maruragu8192]

Awww our Taehyungie.. yes, V is legit an old soul, jazzy boy.. him staying true to who he is and it shows thru his music. People see it. Guys thank you for your review.. ur specifics made his music more interesting.. borahae 💜

[@lillianbarbieri7771]

Taehyung is an amazing vocalista and just a sweet human being. His voice is really great and so warm and smooth and He can transition so well. He has my favorite voice out of the group although Love all of them. Hope you can check the other lives He did for this album, They are really good. He loves jazz and has a great appreciation for music in General so the Live environment with a band is perfect for his Project.

[@mbondsart]

Tae is an old soul with a love of Bing Crosby and old movies made way before he was born. He has incredable personal style. His moving into a soul-blues-jazz fusion sound is exciting. Jazz needs a new superstar. he has written his own songs and has quite a list of original songs. Each member has put together their own band. Tae admired each of these musicians. There is a fun Vlog where he is driving with his Wooga Clan (close friends) and they are making faces listening to his music as he drives. Very funny. He often plays music he is listening to while driving and filming for Vlogs. Tae is sophisticated musically and artisticaly. As for his wardrobe, Tae is an Ambassador for the couture House Celine and Cartier.

[@lanonas2000]

If you finished the video you will see V play the sax. That's how he was picked when he auditioned as trainee. He played the sax, he sang, he danced and he rapped. He was the only one from his hometown of Daegu to be picked to become a trainee. He accompanied a friend to the audition. He had no intention of auditioning. He was asked by the BIGHIT staff if he would like to try out. He said he did and he did. His friend didn't make it and was pretty bitter for a while. LOL.

[@WhalienDNA]

Pretty sure him playing the sax was in the other performance when he was sitting down, wasn’t it?
