Vocal Coach & Director REACT to BTS's FULL PERFORMANCE at MMA 2019 (Part 1)

[@iamjustinburke]

Try this fun 10-min singing lesson as my gift for watching :) www.joinsingr.com/youtube You'll be shocked at your improvement even if you think you have a "bad" voice right now. I used to have a terrible voice (I couldn't sing to save my life when I started), now I'm a professional singer & coach. You CAN learn just like I did and I can show you how! Record yourself singing a phrase to the first song that comes to your mind before & after the lesson so you can compare your improvement (don't worry you're the only one who will hear those lol). Doesn't matter what level you're starting at... You'll be shocked when you listen to yourself after the lesson... see you in the lesson :)

BTS stands for "bangtan soneyondan", which translates to bulletproof boy scouts in english. So, throughout their music videos and live performances you'll find them doing that gun symbol a lot.. It's also one of the reasons why our fanbase is called ARMY.

Let Payton know camera work for kpop in Korea is completely different than US. Kpop is all the the IDOLS...singing, dancing, performances..its a whole package. The camera operators KNOW each of these group members names and the nuances of the performances. They are performed the same every time and they have had multiple opportunities to shoot this perfomance. When groups put out music they attend weekly music shows and compete against other groups so this performance has been shot many times. And the camera work is coordinated and rehearsed. The focus in general is different. In the US, the performance shots are pretty generic and they pan to the audience whereas in Korea the camera shots are treated AS part of the performance. You will never see them pan to the audience up close, just a few wide shots, even though there are many famous faces in the audience. The focus is the performer. They will focus on close ups of particular members during different parts and use a variety of cameras...and yes, you will see camera men on stage or hanging cameras or side cameras on the stage to be sure they get the perfect performance shots for airing on tv if you are watching fan cams. It's actually really superior. These camera men work super hard..you will see them running to keep up and get the shots. It's just a different style of shooting. I've watched so much Korean camera work that now when I see them perform in the US I hate it. I dont want to see people in the audience screaming or famous people, I want to see the performance. And when they do shoot the performance they miss shots or just pan wide. It's so frustrating. I prefer Korean award shows to US shows. I just never knew the difference before!

[@PaytonPeterson]

I agree that I dislike the audience shots on American shows but honestly some Korean camerawork really makes me confused, some of them shoot like they’re shooting a horror movie, the camera is flying around the stage faster than the performers and I’m just not there for it 😂 If I notice the camerawork then it’s either really amazing or kinda bad and unfortunately the Korean style of camerawork makes me notice it in a bad way most of the time

[@ns.t23]

they do have different colored, glittered mics. RM - sky blue Jin - pink Suga - black JHope - red Jimin - gold V - green Jungkook - purple they gave halsey her own when she did boy with luv with them, she included a clip of them givig her the mic on her 5th episode of rode to manic... side note, Rap Line (RM, JHope & Suga) can sing and the Vocal Line (Jin, Jimin, V & Jungkook) can rap as well, you can check the live performance on the 5th muster (muster is a fan meeting with a special performance) for Ddaeng...

[@acwhos]

The whole performance is a recap of BTS’s old to new music. They’re returning to a storyline that they started in 2014 in their next album, which fans believe will he called Map of the Soul: Shadow, thus the shadows in the prerecorded clips. Another example is how they go from their old song Boy in Luv to their newest song Boy with Luv. Then performance music is all older songs in order from oldest to newest but they’re remixes, and they have a dance break using their song N.O. in the middle of their final Dionysus performance, the last song. Happy holidays to you both!

Main and lead vocalist is different lmao

[@liza2561]

@@purple3824 there's nth to LMAO... I genuinely asked to explain and seems like you don't know as well

[@comewhatmaaaeee]

FYI: Jungkook is the main vocalist and the one who used to rap back in their early days. Jimin is the lead vocalist. In Kpop main vocals and lead vocals are two different positions but these two are usually the ones who get the lines most. The main vocalist is higher than the lead and the one who is usually assigned to the most experienced singer in the group. He's also the one who sings the chorus most of the time and does the adlibs together with the lead vocalist. As for the dance line, Jhope and Jimin are the main dancers while Jungkook and V are the lead dancers. Same concept, the main dancer is higher than the lead dancer. Needless to say they are all great vocalists and dancers in their own way regardless of their positions.

[@kimberlychan758]

You are right,,, even jimin is a lead vocalist, he is the one who responsible for the highnotes in every song...

[@comewhatmaaaeee]

@@kimberlychan758 Yes, that's because he has a higher pitched voice and probably easier for him... Jk can do it as well really but I think that's demanding too much from him since he already has a lot of roles to do vocally--background vocals, adlibs and the like...

[@juancarloscorrea8134]

We need more V high notes lol

[@blarmy827]

Jungkook is the only lead dancer… v is a dancer … but not the same position as jungkook. Similarly to how jungkook is main vocal and jimin is the lead vocal but Jin and v are vocalists…. V is a vocalist and dancer and jungkook is the main vocalist and only lead dancer …. Which he has always been since debut. I know 5 years later tae was added to the dance line…. But never given the lead dancer role…. And even watching their special dance breaks and performances… I feel like that’s easy to tell with the different responsibilities dance wise… or like how 3J did the butter dance video. He’s still an Amazon dancer like the rest of them… but he doesn’t seem as into dancing anymore and that’s okay… but the two main dancers and lead dancer are very much into their dancing and put in the extra hours for their roles just like they did in the beginning

[@StuckwithBTS]

​​@@blarmy827stop putting tae down and don't compare members tae and jk both are lead dancers (bighit is the one who's not giving chance to tae and Jin to showcase their skills and you're doing the same) you can clearly see tae's a talented dancer from the start but still he's not treated as one

The shadow is about duality. How the struggle to be themselves and maintain that love with the other life of love for fans.the lines get blurred. Creates insecurity within themselves.

[@taetaetrash9728]

That symbol is a gun / pistol lol. It's cuz BTS stands for Bulletproof Boyscouts! (Bulletproof cuz they wanted to be a group that wards of prejudices that the youth faces. Hence a lot of their songs lyrics touch on social concepts) It's also why us fans are called ARMY! To take it it even further for instance their fanmeetings are called Musters (means assembly of troops). And their lightsticks that fans wave at their concerts are called Army Bombs and are literally shaped like bombs! Lol sooo it's a whole concept thing tied into their name! Hahaha

[@GotCommonSence]

FYI, Rm's Persona Performance, Mikrocosmos, and JK's Water Dance were pre-recorded. The audience saw them on the big screens but at home it all looks like a live performance. RM did come out on stage and performed some of Persona and JK did his dance in the dark on stage without the water.

[@marar8045]

They always give us a lot of clues about their next album in MMA and MAMA. We’ve all thought for a while now that the next album will be Shadow, and it’s practically confirmed with those shadows walking behind them in the intro. Each shadow had glitches in of their character’s from the BU (the storyline their MVs follow). Like Yoongi’s had fire, and you could hear the spray paint with Taehyung’s. The glitches are a throwback to their 2017 performances too and the whole time when they glitches all their MVs, which culminated with Euphoria’s release where at the beginning you can see glitches in the video where they change scenes from the past. It’s all from the storyline.

[@RoxiePoxi]

What you're watching is a mix of live and prerecorded performances. This is what everyone streaming the show saw. Ex: recording/streamer view- Rm performed in front of the grafitti set. Audience view- They played the recording on the big screens and he performed alongside it just without the grafitti set. Ex: In the dionysus intro, the recording/streamer view had horses. Audience view- they did the same intro w/o the horses and the recording with the horses played on the big screens. You can compare this video with the fancams to figure out what's what.

[@rhonecadechamma6922]

You're right, Payton. RM's Intro: Persona was prerecorded. BTS ' performance was around 40 minutes long and they had multiple costume changes which couldn't be done without a few prerecorded footage. The prerecorded footage is displayed on huuuuuuuge screens for the audience and is also live broadcast to the viewers at the same time. The interesting thing is that when the footage was rolling on screen, RM was actually on stage performing live for the audience present(without the fancy set) and this was made known because of the videos shared by few ARMYs who attended the award show. Persona, V's solo intro, Jungkook's solo intro were also prerecorded and all three performed live when the footage was playing on big screens (though JK was mostly hidden in the shadows when he did). Mikrocosmos was also prerecorded and I guess Payton was able to easily figure that out.

[@mi-hi_blossom22]

Rasha Queen no it is true, Jungkook has a tattoo and it CANT be shown on awards show and stuff, that’s why they once had to put his skin color bandages on his hands to hide it. Jimin also has tattoos, but Jungkook tattoos can be seen more clearly and better than Jimin’s since his is on his ribs while Jungkooks is out on his hand (and you’ll clearly see Jungkooks Hand more often than someone’s ribs 😅). Usually Jimin pulls up his shirt at concerts and that’s allowed since it’s their rules to make.

The lighter was a reference from their trilogy from The most beautiful moment in life where suga burns the hotel. Also, the other performances were pre-recorded like jungkook's solo.

The concept of this mini album series is said to be inspired by a book by Jung that speaks of archetypes and realllyyy deep stuff 🤣🤣 it's a world of its own, really.

I love ur frd's comments, explanations and reactions. Tnks for bringing him back.

[@MilotusLucifera]

also Jimin isnt the one who used to rap, that's Jungkook, he is the main vocalist. Jimin is the sopreno of the group

[@jananjaja4156]

all of htem used to rap, bts was supposed to be a hip hop group.

[@MilotusLucifera]

@@jananjaja4156 Oh yea huh

[@fykamairaumaira831]

@@jananjaja4156 no.... only four member used to rap or offcially used to put as rapline.

[@jananjaja4156]

I am not talking about rap line here, the group was a hip hop group originally and all the members used to rap in the older songs, jk is even the sub rapper.

[@jananjaja4156]

for example RM , yoongi and hobi are ral line but they sing in some newer songs too.

[@call9122]

I love how they stop and really analyze what is going on as well as a bit of how does an artist or a camera gets there to that specific effect.

[@user-sp3xt6qr2s]

Can u combine part 2,3,4. Ik it’s gonna b a long vid but it’s better than having us wait😂😭😭

[@cxlyrics5350]

"this lighter must mean something?" YES!

[@DeeRafatSweileh]

17:42 The symbol they did at the end is kind of like.. A gun I guess. Their name means Bulletproof boyscouts in English. It holds a strong meaning to them and us because they wanted, from the start to be there for the youth and be open and transparent and honest about issues the youth face. They want to be the bulletproof "defense" for their fans.

[@azaleasantana4879]

Can't wait for the other parts! Thank you guys. Love Payton participation. Merry Christmas!!!

[@xcandycough2224]

There fans are called army and bts stands for bulletproof and the hand symbol is a gun meaning bulletproof

[@4neverstudios466]

I literally havent even started watching the reaction but im soooo excited, thank you so much for doing it !!!

[@marihanramos5443]

I came running !!

[@lauracampos8702]

That symbol means bulletproof, but in Boy With Luv means: LOVE when it seems like a gun, and U when he puts his fingers in a horn way. So it means LOVE U

[@sandraibanez8957]

JK q artista es perfecto 💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥

[@doki1223]

"You can never imagine them looking the way that they do, having voices like that" FYI Justin these boys are such babies hahaha i recommend you watch RUN BTS. You don't have to record your reaction you can just watch it during your free time. You would not really believe that BTS on stage is the same BTS on RUN BTS. Love this reaction btw.

[@Cait2769]

They practiced this performance for like 3 months to gets the moves, positioning and remix some of the music.

[@jenniehenshaw2800]

Welcome back Payton! Can't wait until you see the rest of the performance.

[@Btrisyia_nzr]

I love it when you react with payton....💜

[@deltaashkrafte7440]

is no one going to talk about justin's adorable eye smile XDDD

[@monicaasis7100]

their vcr are always tells something either from their past mv or for the upcoming albums and it drive ARMY nits trying to figure out

[@livmarie3171]

I think my favorite thing about these videos is the fact that you guys get so passionate about what you know and the other just gets so excited that the other is excited

[@daisyviscaya3818]

Welcome back payton

[@HajerakhaleelA]

I internely screamed when I saw the notification!! Yes Payton is back 😍😍🤩 I love his reactions. I finally got to know how much hardwork and perfection the directors put in their work . Thanks Payton.👌 😁

[@PaytonPeterson]

Imran Sultana thank you for the kind words!

[@goojaehee5598]

Finallyyyyyy payyy👏👏👏👏👏👏💜💜💜

[@nynkeveen2581]

"That sighn" was the ending of the choreo from "boy in love" (the song they were performing) but that sighn also was the beginning of the choreo of "boy with love" (because we were going "back in time") the songs were connected so also the choreo it self is connected to each other. So it continues

[@The.English.Cup.Center]

"hadn't blown away yet" *microcosmos* : wait for it

[@alenadaisy]

I love your reactions, and l really like your reactions with your friend. I missed “that was cool” almost every shot🤣

[@zm6567]

In the beginning I believe it’s part of the storyline that they have🤗🤗

[@rainbowng1814]

in kpop , lead vocalist is actually behind the main vocalist in terms of position. jk is the main vocal and jimin is the lead.

[@Yuna97]

Yes, Persona and some other parts of the whole performance were prerecorded. Also pleeease for the love of God don't do like a trillion parts because the waiting is gonna kill all your army subscribers 🥴

[@bencayro1]

Yes u were right in some of the frames that were pre record love your reactions and inputs thanks

[@Cait2769]

Rm has a blue mic, Jin has a pink mic, suga has black mic, j-hope has a red mic, jimin is chrome/silver, taehyung has green and Jungkook has purple.

[@akimeno]

Jimin actually has a gold mic

[@namitales]

Why do I get so happy when you two do a video together? You’re an amazing duo, honestly haha. 💜💜💜

[@_vxv_6413]

Yah all of them have different coloured mics they all picked the colour that they want any they perform with them every where and yes rms part in the beginning was be shot and junkooks part as well but they did perform them on stage just for the live the bee shot it in a more fancy spot like rm in the class and jungkook in the water 💜
