😆
HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA relate
Yeah you love him, lol. You have marveled at Jimin’s bright, ethereal, angelic voice many times.
I just exploded with laughter when I heard that. 😂😂😂 What an adorable person
it's amazing how the Jimin effect strikes once again. JIMINAAAAAAA
I never really thought of it as disinterest look when I've watched it. I think it really depends on the viewer and what emotions that they are going through. For me, I saw them as a very calm force with their vocals guiding my eyes on the screen. When I think back to it, I can't help but think of it as a calming ocean wave when you're alone on the beach on a semi-cold day. They're calming, soft and it's as if I was left in a dark alleyway when their soft, comforting presence came by and 'guided me home'.
Yes and it's definitely their style, when they go with soft concepts. I remember watching them perform "Your eyes tell" and someone in the comments said, that Tae seemed unwell, because of his arm placed in front of his body, when this was probably a deliberate decision to appear vulnerable because it suits the tone. Even if they were bored they wouldn't show it. I believe they are just "in character" on stage.
dont looks like disinterest to me, more like controlling the emotion
Y'all mean "uninterested". Disinterested means unbiased.
I can see how their affect could be interpreted as disinterest, but I chose to view their intended vibe as portraying the intense sadness and dealing with the frustrations of an entire year of living through the Pandemic.
You love Jimin, we love Jimin, the world loves Jimin 💜💜💜 God blessed him with the voice of an Angel
Yes that jimin and you used to like him every time 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Vocal coaches has something to do with jimin 😂😂❤️
“Is that jimin? I know this much but I’m pretty sure I love him” absolutely yes 😂😂
Voice teachers appreciating Jimin makes me happy!❤
Responding to your comment about being disinterested, I think that might be the style/habit from performing in Korea? I feel like a lot of Kpop singers take on more “meditative” or calm expressions when performing sad songs (even really downright depressing ones), while American/Anglophone singers tend to be more strongly emotive. Probably just a generalization though
True.
I've noticed that difference too
Yeah, that’s true
I agree. I didn't feel they were disinterested. I think they were being pensive. The length of that instrumental section made it a little awkward, but I think they did a good job. Think of the lyrics. Any other facial expressions would have not matched the song.
Yes, it's true. They put their heart to that sad song. They love that music that's why their faces shows emotions like that. You don't want to show smiling faces when you are singing sad song. Don't use the word "disinterested" because BTS are great when they sing sad song they show their emotion. When the music is happy of course they will show their happy faces.
Is that Jimin? I know this much and I'm a really dumb person but I'm pretty sure I love him"
MOOD 😂
We stan Sam
Jimin’s is sound from the heaven
Yes that was Jimin and of course you love him
I don’t see or think they’re disinterested like you said they are very intentional with their performances and what looks like disinterest to you I think it was them trying to show more of a somber emotion
“It’s easy to remember because it’s my name” LOL
I agree with your opinion about accents, people often expect a foreigner to try their best to imitate an American accent while singing a song in English, but that expectation is kinda boring and based on wanting them to accommodate to your own comfort. Most Italians who have albums in Spanish don't try to hide their Italian accent, and it's very charming.
@@histfictfan4460 can I ask what does ELL stand for?
It depends. Some genres are more forgiving to foreign accents like rock for example. The Sex Pistols sang Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in a Cockney English accent and it works because it was punk rock but if it was done as a jazz standard it would have sounded comical. Blur and Oasis are both English bands singing with a working class English accent (Blur sings in Cockney while Oasis in Manchunian accent)...and it works. Klaus Meine from the German rock band Scorpions has a noticeable German accent when he sings and it still works. Now imagine this...a Chinese singing country in a very noticeable Chinese accent or sings jazz standards....you'd roll on the floor laughing! Honestly.
@@histfictfan4460 The Mongolian Cowboy sang country with an American country accent....unblemished and spot on American accent.....I'm talking about people singing with a FOREIGN accent and singing country or jazz....try to keep up....."countly loads....take me home...." LOL Chinese accent singing John Denver's "Country Road".....as I said comical and people will ROFL.
@@histfictfan4460 Sam Johnson said foreign accent don't matter when singing...I refuted his argument and presented an example of a Chinese person with a thick Chinese accent singing "Country Roads". My argument is based on truth not lies. It is a checkmate argument!
This! I hate it when people try to force an accent on themselves. It doesn’t sound natural and a bit awkward.
That’s why I love Maneskin‘s version of begging.
Your comment about Jimin's voice is the same with the japanese opera singer who also appreciated Jimin's singing. 😍 How amazing Jimin's voice.
Yes! Thats Jimin and we love him!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Jimins voice jimin's voice jimins voice jimins voice omg i can't 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
That's jimin 🥰
My favourite voice
I love Park Jimin that's all I can say and he stands out for me
I think they are just expressing their sadness of not being able to perform for their fans and try to comfort them with this song, also I think it was kinda hard for them to perform this song, they are focused to not mess up since it's a very important song for Coldplay. And yepp, thanks for remembering Jimin! He is my favorite vocalist, incredible and unique voice to me💜
" sam said :I think he is really such a good singer and its a lot of skills to be able to get that clear of a sound while staying as quiet as he is coz he's not getting super loud" yes teacher park jimin the king og high note the liud voice the golden voice the most talented idol in all over the world the best dancer i love how all vocal coaches love him thatnks for ur reaction
Jimin my angel he's my favorite vocalist in kpop he's so unique 💕❤
Yes, Jimin is very skilled singer. An opera singer said Jimin singing it that way takes a lot of skills and singing isn't just about being loud.
Who is that opera singer?
“ This is not the first time that Jimin is praised by an Opera Singer. Back on February 18th, Jimin's vocal is highly praised by Opera singer, LIM HYUNG-JOO who is a voting member of Grammy & the youngest Korean UN Peace Medal awardee. He praised Jimin's role to appeal to listeners with his technique, clear diction. In addition, he is also impressed with Jimin's ability to sing high notes & falsetto.”
@@fernandaespinosa7365 I don’t know why I can’t share the article link here, so I just paste some phrases for the reference
“On February 24, a Japanese classical opera singer known as @rosenduft3 from Twitter wrote a detailed analysis on how she was mesmerized by Jimin's vocals in "Fix You" performed by BTS during MTV Unplugged on the same day. “
“My ears were glued to this part of Jimin's singing, "could it be worse," where the pitch goes up at the "worse" part.
It is natural for a voice to become louder as the pitch increases. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the volume in inverse proportion to the increase in pitch, as Jimin did here.
Jimin sang very carefully, taking great care to get the high notes into a good position.
The volume is gradually reduced to a smooth legato while moving towards the high notes. His voice is very soft and beautiful despite the tension. It is very difficult to reduce the volume while maintaining the sound quality, and to reach the high notes with a smooth legato, but Jimin did it so great.”
@@JiJiparadise OMG THANK U ♡
@@fernandaespinosa7365 you’re welcome.
I think they wanted to keep a somber mood for the performance based on the lyrics as well as the context behind the song. BTS are very intentional with everything so I’m sure they did research before as well as coordinated how they wanted their facials to look for the performance. Also since the song isn’t in their native language since it’s translated they would know the song is for Chris martins wife when her father died and it has sad origins so I think they probably thought it would be disrespectful to seem to upbeat and charismatic for the video.
Also I had a feeling you would do this reaction so I was happy to see this in my recommendation
I agree. Since this is a very personal song about the grief of a Coldplay member's wife, I think BTS was being quite careful to show respect.
Yes, I totally agree, I took it as them being respectful to this great Coldplay song that so many hold dear. BTS did an amazing job with this performance!
True jimin's vocals is so unique and i mean I don't think anyone has his tone but everyone would love to have it as you said 😌
You are not dumb, that is Jimin and I guess everyone loves him 🥰
8:03 yes that’s Jimin! and yes you love him, everyone does haha 💕
Jimin😭♥️
I know you had to cut this up a lot for copyright, but I would have really liked to see you opinion of the triple harmony between Jimin, Jin, and RM, and of Jin's belt at the climax. :(
He skipped reacting to the good parts :( he even skipped reacting to 60% of Jin’s part anyway, never mind.
He clearly uploaded what he liked or felt he added more commentary to. It was educational and fair. It's not just to praise your bias.
@@yscr2325 Wow. o_O I respect his opinion and was truly curious about what he'd have to say about the two parts I mentioned. I also like how you assume it had ANYTHING to do with a bias, I'm OT7, in case you legitimately care. I LIKE what he had to say, I just would have ALSO liked to hear more. You don't hear three part harmonies often like that from BTS and Jin doesn't always get the belty climax parts. I'm not sure why my comment upset you. :/
hahahaahha i click on this video bcs i want to see his reaction to jin, but yeah dissapointed 😂
He has replied. He included all the major parts he commented on. Sam is very hard to please, probably the most hardest. And the pats he like are usually different from other people. Let's respect his honest review.💛
Im so in love with jimin's voice🥺🥺thank you for your educated description of his vocal skills and talentz
When u jim in u can jim out thats our jimin the king of vocal thanks foe ur reaction more love to u
Damn my crush sam is having a crush on my other crush jimin
I love their vocals but I'm addicted to jimin's vocal he's so unique💜
The Jimin
You finally remembered Jimin! hahaha...
I really appreciate you speaking to how having an accent when not singing in your native or first language is okay! It’s hard to admit, but that discomfort we native English speakers may have in listening to accents could actually be a bit of Xenophobia at play. Thx Sam 🙏 😊 ✌🏽

Vycki Atallah, "discomfort we native English speakers may have in listening to accents could actually be a bit of Xenophobia"
Hey Sam! Just wanted to let you know your channel has helped me appreciate music and singing more than ever because your explanations of technique are so accessible yet deep, I feel able to pick up on what great singers are really doing with their voices and that helps me enjoy and appreciate them more. Thank you for all you do!
jimin's voice is catchy and so beautiful
Yes its jimin ... the voice that stand out the most
“Fix you” got me through my dark days. Definitely one of my favorites too
Jimin is such a super vocalist, we all love him! 💛
Thank you for the beautiful reaction! Iwas waiting for your comment on Jin's high note too. Anyway, yes it's Jimin again collecting people. 😄
Cuz he deserve it lol
I was disappointed that he skipped Jin’s high notes
Jimins vocal skills are actually insane and he's still improving himself, every time he's experimenting with some new techniques and he sounds so confident in his range. I'm scared of what he could do with his own solo album on his terms.
Promise and Filter are a great example
Hey Sam! I didn’t see them as disinterested, I saw them just as relaxed and making the song the main focus. We know BTS are great performers, dancers and such and so I felt they were laid back and like letting the song take the focus and not anything they were doing. Like it was all about the song and lyrics. Love your channel!
This
Same
EXACTLY
Exactly
To those of us who know their facial expressions, they don't look disinterested at all. They look contemplative, melancholy, sad. Anything more would be forced really.
i couldn’t have said this better
EXACTLY!! You expressed my exact thoughts that I tried but failed to do.
Jin un placer hermosa voz gran trabajo vocal💝💝😙🇦🇷
i kinda get what you mean by disinterest in some performances with some members but i really like the story telling of jimin in both his facial expressions and in the vocal quality of his sound.
5:36 I noticed that you got really emotional at this part which shows that this song means a lot to you, and I don't blame you because this song is so touching and beautiful. When I listen to it I feel like I'm in a whole another world
Jimin is such a great singer. Period! Thank you, for once again confirming what we know.
⚠️Wow! You finally remembered the name of the person you have always liked without knowing or recognising him. JIMIN!! It really shows how unbiased you were everytime and still picked JIMIN's vocals as your favourite. And it also gives a great idea that Jimin is the greatest vocalist. The way he impresses consistently,that too not one but most vocal coaches show he's on top of his game. His voice is the best blessing to this mankind. And these are what we use to slap on faces of jealous solos of some members💛💛💜💜
I would say you’re wrong on the disinterest looks. Jimin had stated that Fix You has helped them get through things so it has meaning to them as a group. I really don’t think they would sing a song they don’t relate to. All their songs has meaning to them, so I’m pretty sure if they do a cover song these days, it wouldn’t be just any song.
Their names associated with their mic colors!!
V - Green
Jin - Pink
Jimin - Gold
J-hope - Red
RM - Silver
Suga - Black
Jungkook - Ultraviolet
Thank You!
Yes that’s Jimin he has the highest voice out of bts 😭
But Jin is the highest when it comes to chest voice
@@caracasaaronmarkc.6072 jimin and jin. Jin pushes a lot his high to jimin they come in a natural way and in more light tone.
Jin has the highest belt. Dumb
@@jinislove6689 yes
@@jinislove6689 Not only ur bias😑Jm is the one who sing highest note in bts as lead jin too can sing that doesn't mean u can discrediting jm..jm anti🤢
The feeling I got from this performance was that being such a meaningful song for so many people and for the authors themselves, BTS wanted to perform it in the most respectful way possible.
'We are lucky to have BTS, that's for sure"
-Sam Johnson 2021
And I wholeheartedly agree 😊
Sam Johnson is my favorite voice teacher on CZcams.
JIN The best
Awww , Sam was so touched. I saw those tears 😭 and all I can say is me too.
Fix You is one of my all time favorite songs. I never listen to it unless I’m ready to cry.
You Love Jimin 😭💖
Aw man he skipped Jins high note and 3 part harmony 🥺
Im actually going to add on your disinterested comment, I kinda caught what you meant by that but I think it was a mixture of the song being sad and just them not being able to perform for so long. They thrive in concerts and everything they've done im the past year has been small with only a camera infront of them. Makes me think the story they were telling was also for them
You love jimin, why dont you try to check out his solos 😁 you dont have to react to it, just enjoy it! Personally i love all of his solos but Lie is my fav 😘
Jimin ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly there is something about Jimins voice that makes me smile when I hear it 🤗
His tone is so unique, I love hearing them in this sort of settings…where their vocals can shine
Congrats to Jin as well! His power and range is amazing, loved the belt he did at the end.
The guys really show that hard work and practice pay off 👏🏼
*THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE 3RAPPERS AND 4VOCALIST but this performance we have BTS 7VOCALIST 💜*
Since BTS said this song helped them through tough times, I think I see their expressions as more of an "everything will be alright" than disinterest :) 💜
I think they were just getting in the mood of the song that is rather serious, bc watching their tiny desk performance you can see them all standing up, dancing and just having fun even tho it was siting performance, but with this one it's not really much they could do. for me they were in this melancholic head space. you can also watch their other mtv unplugged performances, they were definitely lighter
i think rather than disinterest it’s more about them being in the zone. they’re usually people who put a lot of emphasis on visual performance but I think this was more of a raw vocal focused cover where they tried to not overpower the song with excessive expressions, in a way it made it a bit more intimate cause it seemed like they were singing as if nobody’s watching which in my opinion aligns with the intimacy of a song like fix you.
Um... Why did you cut out Jin's parts???
Jimin’s voice is really good ❤️
As soon as you said the word "disinterest," I immediately agreed. I was trying to find the word when you said it.
Loved your reaction and the way you explained their technique! Jimin’s voice is also my favorite one btw it’s so unique truly beautiful!
I think it's not a lack of interest but their way to express to be meaningful and seriously.
Jimin's magic voice :)
you always have such balanced critique for performances, and I always enjoy watching your videos. But this one felt special to watch the music really impact you while you were listening. It is evident that you love music, and singing, and that you connect to it in a very real way. Thank you for always being so empathetic and patient with your criticism, your voice students must be very lucky.
sam thank u so much for sharing the way u acknowledge and continue to come to terms w the fact that we cannot all necessarily sound the way we wish and sound like our idols. i’m only just starting to accept that and it IS hard! but u made me feel less alone in that so thank u.
i think they are just really feeling the song. Jin has had this song on his spotify playlist for years. He loves this song. They just wanted to do it justice and its beautiful.
So imagine that guy who dont like the "R" sound living in a country where everybody speak spanish 🤣
The R sound in spanish is different though
Or Italian!
I understand why you interpreted their performance's feeling as disinterest but for me when they released this cover I was quite having a hard time personally that when I was watching the video I didn't realize my tears are already falling. Like you know that feeling when that one friend comforts you just by staying with you without saying a word, some people might view that as disinterest, but for me, it's a non-verbal way to make you feel less lonely and feel understood. It's a feeling that they're not trying to feel the same feelings you feel but they are ready to listen and be with you until you're okay.
hearing you talk about how certain singers will just be louder the higher the note is SO reassuring 🥺 i was made fun of for how loud i sometimes sing (i’m an alto lol) and been super insecure about it ever since because i thought you weren’t supposed to get loud when singing high...so idk that was just super cool to hear you mention it!!! 😊
3:47 It depends (on the song, genre and person singing). Some genres are more forgiving to foreign accents like rock for example. The Sex Pistols sang Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in a Cockney English accent and it works because it was punk rock but if it was done as a jazz standard it would have sounded comical. Blur and Oasis are both English bands singing with a working class English accent (Blur sings in Cockney while Oasis in Manchunian accent)...and it works. Klaus Meine from the German rock band Scorpions has a noticeable German accent when he sings and it still works. Now imagine this...a Chinese singing country in a very noticeable Chinese accent or sings jazz standards....you'd roll on the floor laughing! Honestly.
I just love this channel - the way you explain things makes sense to me - you do an amazing job 😀
Thank you for this, Sam. I cant really sing but I always enjoy your insight!
Thank you for reacting to this!! I was hoping you would, love your videos.
Remind you Seokjin is the king of falsetto and high notes, most people talk about his part in this cover, also his singing part is the most rewatched part of the video just remind that 😊btw I don’t know who u are just came to say this 🙂
I always love your unbiased reviews
nice to hear such a specific and highly professional breakdown of the vocal applications in this performance! wow!
i do have a theory on the tone set by the very particular stage presence of the group here. yes. every aspect of their work is intentional. i believe this performance was tailored to be a kind of calling card to chris martin, the lead singer of coldplay. i believe they wanted to demonstrate their strong vocal abilities without the distraction of flashy dance moves, or other things that may seem less relatable to the coldplay brand. and they had total success, because they collaborated with coldplay on the song, ‘my universe’. mission accomplished. i’m sure their management team realize the collaboration would have been a harder sell if they shot a video for ‘fix you’ with the same production structure as say, ‘butter’. right…? look at the coldplay video for ‘yellow’. although it was shot under very extreme circumstances, the video has the usual coldplayesque function of using the visuals just enough to bring more focus to their superb music.
and so, in conclusion, etcetera, and so on. simple bts video wins the day. & everyone involved threw an extra ten million on the barbie. ❤🎶
I love how you express everything of what's going on. It's like I'm having a free voice lesson. 😸
I wanted to see your opinion on Jin's belting..
And it wasn't there 😔
Thank you for the giving us loads of info again 💜
I immediately smiled when Jk sang and you paused it right away and had tons to say.
Idk why some parts are left but I guess there are no opinion about them.
I teared up after seeing you getting emotional Sam 🥺 thank you for always being genuine and so sweet when you react to the boys 🤗🤗
I'm really happy you reacted to this, thank you so much. You're great, I always love to hear what you've goth say.
Now that you say it it's true that they seem a little des interested, I see it as maybe introspection you know, it looks sort of intimate
Every vocal coach like jimin❤️
I had a feeling you would react to this and I've been looking forward to it!! Thank you! I loved this performance so much 💜
I was hoping you'd do this!! I love the level of detail you go into and really appreciate how honest you always are with your opinions and constructive criticism. Personally they seem more poignant than disinerested, but I do see why it could come across that way, especially if you haven't seen too much of them. Thank you!
Favorite time of day. When sam uploads. :)
In 한 걸 (Hangul) the letter ㄹ is a wierd mixture of 'L' and 'R'. One doesn't bend the tounge very much like an English 'R'. I think that they have over compensated and that is why the 'R' is emphasised. Also - there is no letter 'V'. You can pick this up when V (green microphone) says 'forever'. In their song 'Young Forever' he kinda says 'for-errer'.
I think they were representing the feelings of the past 2020, it looked pretty somber and calm, they were trying to soothe rather than to make people sad
i think they perform it like that to give solemn vibe, to make it look/sound intimate. personally i like it that they do this once in a while, so the audience focus on their voices and the message of the song without being distracted by flashy dance choreography cute facial expressions
I read there presentation of this story as coming from a place inside of them where they are deeply sensitive and aware of the suffering and they are trying to hold a space of calm so the healing process will Fix You.
I think that the ‘disinterested’ look was them trying to look somber, as this person in the comments said, but maybe it was a bit difficult for them to “connect” to the song the way do with their own, because of the language barrier. Although I’m sure they know what the song is about, maybe they don’t understand line by line, sentence by sentence what they are singing about, which might make it trickier to look convincingly somber, if that makes sense. Anyways, thanks for telling us more about the vocal side of this performance, take care! 💛
