Vocal Coach Reacts to PSY- That That (ft. Suga from BTS)

[@pinkcheems]

loving the sound effects lately 🦅

[@maccallahan9572]

Yeet

[@myth98ili]

I think Psy is known for adding satire and comical elements to his music which makes him stand out as an artist. That’s probably why he has lines where he sings in a nasal tone. I think he intentionally tries to sound like an average Joe to make his listeners feel like he’s just one of them, almost like taking on a character in a musical or something. In his early works, before Gangnam style fame, he had edgier lyrics confronting sociopolitical issues. But from what can be found online, he’s definitely a trained singer, rapper and songwriter.

[@Mia-gq9ow]

And a ceo

[@kkochismile5813]

you put my feelings into words

[@brusal6789]

Very nicely summarised

[@namjoonie936]

he is very well respected in korea and kpop

[@takeabreath423]

that's pretty much Psy's definition right here. he's a genius in his own way.

[@HeyaMoon97]

Psy is definitely not untrained 😂 he’s just chaotic In the best way he does what he feels the vibe is! This one he said was inspired by 90s kpop a lot of that was pretty nasally but it worked

[@preasia731]

[@teezieweezie]

psy is a producer and soloist as well as a ceo for his own entertainment company! man built a career for himself and is looked up to by most kpop idols which is why it’s so nice seeing him do collabs with other artists. my favorite group is ateez and apparently it’s one of his too

[@namjoonie936]

he debuted on my birthday lmao

[@ot7biasedmashups]

If KQ wasn't amazing I would really wish Ateez was under Pnation xD

[@lgrsydney3124]

Well...Psy is GangNam Style. The original song that broke the internet. Kpop Idols rightly consider him their senior. Suga refers to him as sunbaenim in 'making of' interviews, and it isn't only because Psy is older.

[@laurenjschafer]

Dude LMAO the analysis on Psy's vocals was so spot on, this is really just a regular ass man out here making bangers 💀 the production value is insane tho, who out here is doing it like Min Yoongi

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

I get it y'all love Yoongi but this would've been a banger without his help. Let's not act like it only sounds good cause Yoongi helped produce it. That's so disrespectful to PSY lol, he's been doing this for so long, constantly dropping bangers. This sounds like a classic PSY title track. It's not good because of Yoongi.

[@IThink2Much]

@@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie They praised Psy as well. But Yoongi produced it so why is it not allowed to say he did a good job on that without assuming they are saying that Suga is the only reason the song is good?

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

@@IThink2Much they literally said "who out here is doing it like Min Yoongi" giving him all of the credit for the success as if PSY hasn't been a success for decades without him.

[@kshil9713]

Psy is actually more of a rapper than a vocalist, but his vocals go hard at times as well! My absolute favorite title track by Psy is "New Face", again the vocals on that pre-chorus are so nice. It would be suuuper cool if you checked out PSY's Killing Verse on Dingo that he recently released!

[@madzie111]

@Culture thing what did u find so bad?

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

@Culture thing Lmfao elaborate. What about the lyrics are bad? Saying "everything" is just you hating on the man for no reason

[@raspberrytaegi]

@Culture thing your criticism isn't constructive/has no substance to it therefore it is hating for the sake of hating lol

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

@Culture thing so you think the song is bad because of the English lyrics? Mhmm. Kk. Have you read the English translation instead of just being like "the words I can understand don't make sense" that's a small portion of the song and isn't supposed to be the only representation of the song.

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

@Culture thing Alright fam, I guess you're allowed to have your opinion.

[@ryanittodraws]

With the specific part you're talking about sounding "nasily", it has mostly to do with the language. He's got a satoori accent, and his comedic style of singing is his iconic style lolol If you watch the behind the scenes, psy also mentioned wanting a 90s type style for the song. Specifically, 90s rap in korea lol. That style was very very nasily. You'll hear it a lot of you listen to anything by Seo Taiji

[@AmberlashReacts]

This song is a bop. Psy's singing is good, Suga's rapping is amazing, and the dancing is fantastic. Love it!💜

[@amorin329]

What is "a Bop"?

[@velveetacheesy5147]

"I'm just gonna do whatever the f I want, and just gonna make it pop the ffff off" pretty much sums up the entirety of how Psy runs his company. He collects some of the disowned or rejected members of the kpop community, gives them a home and they make straight up BANGERS. Jessi, Dawn, Hyuna, Crush... Ect... They all make such amazing music and often with a big f you to the industry somewhere in the lyrics hah.

[@vinuthna3135]

Suga created a masterpiece perfectly fitting to psy. It's composed, produced and arranged and written by suga in addition to being featured

[@victoriajazzelle452]

He just performed this live the other day and there’s a vid all over youtube, please check it out in your own time!! I think he sounds great!

[@sjaejoneswriter]

Psy attended Berklee College of Music before he returned to South Korea to pursue his career as a singer so he's definitely trained, although I think his interest is more in songwriting and producing than vocal performance. He's always been a bit "eff you" class clown type of personality; his first album was actually fined by the SK government for being "inappropriate" haha.

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Um.... PSY is actually a trained singer. If you know Gagnam Style then you should know that his title tracks are completely satire. You can see it in the music videos (especially his facial expressions), lyrics and his vocals. But if you listen to his B-sides (tracks from the album) then you'll be deadass surprised how he can sing ballads and rap bars

[@bobross3056]

Case in point: his new song Happier is just downright beautiful

[@tanyaparmelee9411]

[@gcfanzae]

they went so hard no this song but what gets me is seeing SUGA dance that choreo. THATS ... *speechless*

[@margustoo]

I recommend for you to check out Psy's concert called 'Happening', where he mostly sings live with mostly minimal music track and 0 or barely any backing vocals. For example his songs in that concert "Paradise", "Someday" and "Goose's dream" show that he is quite good vocalist. Especially because he is soaring in the sky while singing those songs.. Could be interesting to see you react to those youtube videos..

[@candacenguyen4484]

A pretty famous track by him where he sings acoustically and raps is called "Father"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Cxdoudn6umY6M

[@sophiaisabelle01]

PSY’s comeback slaps harder than Wil Smith slap-I mean PSY’s comeback is bigger and better than ever. That That is giving me such elevated upbeat song vibes. Gangnam Style feels like an unearthed memory from the past somehow. I totally vibe with those, still. Suga’s rap verse(s) makes That That much more lively. Though let’s be real honest, PSY’s vocals can sound very monotonous. No hate at all. Maybe it’s just his personal signatory as a performer.

[@toddbrown5101]

If you are going to insult PSY claiming he has a monotonous voice just goes to show that you know nothing of him and therefore maybe should do a little research before insulting him. He is a very talented man and has a successful music label of his own called P Nation. He likes to have a good time and never claimed to be a great vocalist. His music is parody. He is best know for Gangum style but he is so much more than that.

Suga stans are annoying sometimes

[@reanaa]

Suga, and the entire BTS rapline, could teach a thing or two about rapping to the current breed of American rappers. 1) They own the term "flow", they rap clearly (no mumbling), their raps say something, there is more than 6 words on repeat and all three have such unique and distinct sounds.

[@ystrw]

Amen. A week or two past, heading to work with the windows down, I stopped for a traffic light. The car beside me had 'rap' playing. Thirty seconds of that and I was flashing to Cypher 3, RM's verse: "Everyone raps the same way here, only saying two or three words at a time like some hospital patient."

[@RYINmusic]

[@kaitlynnbailey85]

Everyone underselling psy forgets he’s a Berklee music student. One of the best music schools in the world. The guy has game. He’s also in his 50’s

[@klynb]

He studied production and composition at Berklee; he actually has no vocal training. And he's 44.

[@brieezy373]

Aww yes! Thanks so much for commenting on Suga's vocal tone! He almost never gets credit for his vocals, his rap sure but never his vocal tonality. He's got a lovely singing voice, just few rare occasions to really hear it. I really enjoyed the change in production on his voice, you got to hear more of its genuine quality.💜

[@bowkatiewow]

This has been on repeat on my playlist since it came out. Such a bop. Great vid Tristan!

[@angelosvlahos]

I think PSY has such an interesting voice because he became famous in South Korea as this comedic rapper, and he's also a songwriter and producer, so he tends to lend his voice to whatever works on the track. Oh and here's a clip of PSY actually singing kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3ikg3uLj6qHopI

usually songs don't stick w me until after 3 or 4 listens, but this just latched onto my brain and devoured it. in the shower, in the car, in the park, even while listening to other songs, i could still hear it at the back of my head. this song gradually gets more and more addictive. honestly any of psy's songs get stuck in my head all of the time. he's iconic

[@iwubfood1]

This man went to Berkelee College of Music briefly so he knows a thing or two about music but he decided to make it big on his own so it's not so much the singing but he is focused in all levels of music entertainment in his songs.

Found out about this channel and I really liked it! Your reactions are so fun to watch especially the kpop ones and I also learn somethings that can help me in my singing. I also observed that you're expanding in kpop reactions and I would really like to see your reaction about BTOB and MAMAMOO. They are considered as vocal groups because they usually focus more on vocals and have harder vocals in their songs. For BOTB i recommend their song "it's okay" which is one of their best songs and really showcases their strength. Make sure to listen to the live version to really see how amazing they are. For MAMAMOO I recommend their cover/rendition of the song "Delilah" which they covered in the singing competition "immortal songs". That cover was the reason why I stanned mamamoo because they gave a whole different vibe to the song while still catching the feeling of the original song. Both are also one of the fewer groups that ALWAYS sing live so it is hard to find a clip of them singing live. I'm excited to see more of your videos!

[@user-zy4mv8hk1e]

Wow thank you so much!!

[@leinaamatsuji-berry561]

Psy has had a long and varied career! He does some comedy and satirical rap, like “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman” but I think he also does some more serious tunes too. “That That” kinda falls somewhere in the middle of that spectrum! It’s still cheeky and playful, especially the music video nodding to “Gangnam Style” and having SUGA k-word that “old Psy,” but it’s still a real “post-pandemic” banger. I love how this song also shows the more playful side of SUGA too, as both a producer and a performer. He’s my BTS ultimate bias (tho OT7!) and he’s so so talented.

[@elnabenoit]

[@junebugot7496]

Love your reactions! I went to college in CA on a vocal scholarship, and I'm from Michigan. You would not believe the things I had to do to get rid of my nasal tone (because Michiganders are notoriously nasally). It really is funny to listen to someone so wildly popular singing nasally!

Don't know if you'll see this or not, but there's a video of a tv show where Psy sang many of his songs live that might be a good showcase of some of his range. The show is about 5 people who vocally "impersonate"/mimic a celebrity singer, and they will compete with the actual singer to see if the audience can tell the OG apart from the fakes. In this episode the singer was Psy, so you actually get to hear him sing a lot. The video is called "Psy was surprised to see this impersonation contestant! Everything looks the same as Psy!!" Not sure how "raw" the vocals are (maybe not much) but it's the best example I could think of when you mentioned wanting to hear a less produced version of his singing.
