Hey there this is Ryder from Strictly Casual! Everyone is so incredibly nice in this community and I’m really looking forward to hearing some of these jazz-style tracks from everyone’s recommendations!! Super fun gaining more knowledge about this culture! 😃

I like that when Jimin starts singing you both crack a smile :))

I have watched a lot of BTS reactors, you can tell those who are truly interested in the guys and their music, and you can clearly see who is in it for the likes and subscribes, I love your videos cause you have genuine respect for the guys and it really shows. I’ve watched every one of your BTS videos cause I’m ARMY and I can’t resist videos with BTS content 😁 but what I’ve seen in the short time you’ve been doing your BTS reactions is just how much respect you have for these guys. You have not only watched videos to get to know them but you actually took all the info in and you’re getting to know them on a deeper level, so many reactors watch and say the ‘right’ stuff so they don’t get cancelled but I like how you give your honest opinion whether it be good or bad. The way you explained to your friend about the songs and BTS in this video is beyond cool, you’ve learnt so much in such a short amount of time and I’m here for it. The best part of this video is your reaction to watching Spring Day, the hood went up, serious face on, knowing the words and the meaning behind the song you got why this song means so much and touches so many people such a difference to your first reaction (which cracked me up actually, I was waiting for a video where you realise you got it so wrong 😄) and then explaining what you know to your friend, again that was very cool. Sorry for the speech, keep up the great videos Nelson 👍🏻💜

OOOOH so happy to see another Jimin bias!!!! Love how you slowly find so much to love about our boys!!!

Also Jimin & Tae's song Friends will be in the Eternals movie.....

Jimin effect 😍😃💜

17:57-18:10 - For other artists, adding some rap is a switch-up, but for BTS it is standard operating procedure! Their rap sections are usually (or always? Idk) written by the rappers themselves. Besides providing variety to the sound of the song, the rap parts are a way to express complex ideas, deepening the meaning of the song.

I love when people love Jimin! He’s such a unique voice and is such a talented performer. I literally smile every time you smile when Jimin comes on. You can really hear how unique his voice is in this tiny desk concert since it’s so intimate.

FYI the last song called Spring Day literally a comfort song for people who lost their beloved ones. It's created and tribute for Ferry sewol victims and their family.

I love how honest and open you are! Don't ever change.

Jimin is the unique voice💜💜💜

BTS's jazz songs is a big part why I actually became a fan. 😅😅

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you advocated for the boys, like how you explained them being heavily into the music process n all. It goes to show how you genuinely like their music

If Ryder likes Jazz, he might like singularity by V BTS. Since he likes movie, he might like BTS Fake love MV and Blood, sweat and tears MV (BS&T has so many symbols so better to see the explaination too) and he also can see the BTS MV shooting sketch (behind the scene when they shoot the MV). For you, if you wannt to sample BTS songs, please react to BTS room live 2021.

Look at you! Proud ARMY introducing our boys to your friend. Makes me so happy!

Your smile when Ryder complimented Jimin is everything! 😁 When you do the ARMYPEDIA, I hope you can do it with your friend too. But either way, I'll be on watch 'til your next upload.

you mentioned they made Dynamite for their fans. So, it's true that they wrote it with the intention of making people feel better during difficult pandemic times. But it's not one of their songs for army. Each year, for their debut anniversary (13th June) they have special events, releases and performances. And they also release a song they made especially for army (but they also have others included on albums, not all of them are released on the anniversary) and usually have a deeper meaning that army understands from the context. Some of these are: Sea, 2!3!, Magic Shop, Mikrokosmos, We are Bulletproof: Eternal. If anyone else reads this, please feel free to add to the list :)

Wow Nelson. With everyday every video you amaze me. The way you explained bias... blows my mind. Like i wrote yesterday... ah you know what i wrote. Let's just keep it simple here for your friend. AGAIN: WHEN YOU JIMIN YOU CANT'T JIMOUT :D and there you go the BTS rabithole. We are here with you. ;) 보라해

Yes exactly Jimin is my guy... i just cant help falling in love with him

Love your explanation on how they were not an overnight success, U.S. charts and the reason for Dynamite. Ect. Can really tell you've thought about alot of BTS aspects and you're fast becoming Army!

I really want to see your reactions to the BTS live room and the MMA 2019 performance (award show) 💜💜💜

Been away for a few weeks, and you have turned into a full-fledged army, with so much info on BTS! So nice seeing you explain things to your friend.

That's the thing about BTS, they've been taking a stand and speaking out against injustice since their debut. :)

Look at you, Nelson! Spreading the BTS gospel with such passion and..well...what seems to be genuine affection for BTS! You rock!

Ryder seems like such a sweet guy. it would be really interesting to see him react to the music video for Spring Day, it's so beautiful and meaningful at the same time. and as pretty much everyone in the comments suggested, Fake Love and Blood Sweat and Tears are also really well made mvs and interesting to break down i think.

Your friend Ryder is very likeable. Just seems like a down to earth type of person. Please check out their MTV unplugged performance.

4:08 thanks for telling your friends that they are already big worldwide. It’s the music industry that is racist and corrupted. Also, everyone fall for Jimin in this performances 🥰

Nelson, thank you for your love and appreciation for BTS. I can see your passion and deep reflections when reacting to their music. I can see you being so intense at times during your reactions. It goes to show how much you really enjoy BTS and their music.

You might have said the answer to my question in this video but since it hasn't premiered, I wanna ask ahead if your friend has plans on reacting to BTS too. Since he's into film, there are a lot of BTS music videos that is good for him to watch. There are even LIVE performances that he can react to with regards to film stuff. We wanna see his opinions and reactions about BTS cinematography. Anyway, thanks for dragging your friend into this. The more the merrier. 😀

Jazzy songs: Singularity & Stigma by V. House of Cards by Vocal Line. 134340 by All BTS. Enjoy!👏🕺🎶🎤👑🥇🌎😍💜✌️

Hi Nelson 👋. Looking forward to Ryder's Reaction to Tiny Desk. I remember Ryder mentioned in the My Universe video that he likes Jazz. As you've probably heard and are discovering BTS does many different genres of music. I thought I would let you know about some of their jazzy songs. While I'm not a technical music expert, I have a wide appreciation in music and in my opinion these songs are jazz/have a jazzy sound to them. A lot of BTS songs cover multiple genres though and no 2 songs sound the same, which is one of the things I love about their music. I also love how they transition from vocals to rap and how much change up there is in one song. Not suggesting Ryder react to these as you said he is busy. Just letting you know about these for your reactions (noting you said you also don't just want reccomendations for the heavier rap songs) and if you want to you can share with Ryder - and maybe if he does have time at some point these might be good songs for him to react to. Also interesting fact - V in particular is a Jazz music fan. And has said he listens to old Jazz including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jnr. Recs for some of their jazzy songs 🎵 House of cards (vocal line song) Singularity (solo by V - has an MV called 'comeback trailer' on their official channel) 134340 (all members) Stigma (solo by V) Rain (all members) Still With You (Jungkook Solo released on Soundcloud). Trivia: Love (RM Solo) Outro: Ego (J-hope Solo which has a Big Band/Swing sound particularly towards the second half as brass instruments come in - has an MV/comeback trailer). 😁🎵💜

He would love the BANGTAN UNIVERSE!!!

I respect Ryder's choice if he doesn't want to do reaction video but I have a challenge for him. He can definitely ignore it if he doesn't want to, it's his choice and no offense would be taken. Since he's into filming, he can try to watch *BTS Fake Love MV* and the Behind The Scene of it on how they made the MV (He can find it in Bangtan TV channel). If his mind is blown away and he loves to do more, then we'll be very much happy to support him too. We'll give more suggestions. But if he still doesn't feel like making reaction video, he can stop after that. We'll just wait to see him being a guest in your channel. It's a selfish suggestion anyway since I also love watching his reactions too.

Nelson your face is so sweet during Save me. Lights up.

They live together when they all youngs, even they have there own new house , still like live together if someone go back to there own house after one day they quickly come back to there house were all live together...they grow all from teens to young and adult, thats how they love each other...no other K-Pop like them😊☺💙❤🖤💖💜💚💛BTS forever till the end of time🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I really loved this one. I loved that you were explaining things to Ryder and giving him context. No worries about the subtitles, I think Spring day is the one song out of the three that really needed you to turn them on. Would love to see Ryder react to the video explanation of Spring day, and also see both of you react to some of the heavy rap of the rapline such as the Cypher medley live. I would also recommend Baepsae which is another song that is a completely different genre than the ones you have listened to so far and on a superficial level might seem a bit silly but it's actually another socially-focused track trying to explain intergenerational socio-economic issues in Korean society (the DKDKTV channel has a very good explanation of it). Also it has some stellar choreography, you could react to the dance practice to it and then the explanation.

Thanks for another great reaction video, Nelson! For your friend, Ryder, you may want to steer him towards the BU (BTS Universe) which is a fictional story that is interwoven into many BTS songs, albums, & music videos. Along with certain MVs, BTS/BigHit also filmed short films that add to the storyline. It is complicated, but as someone who is interested in film, I know Ryder would absolutely appreciate and enjoy it. As someone else suggested, he could start with the Fake Love MV & behind the scenes. Fake Love is not the beginning of the BU, but it might be enough to spark his interest.

I like your reaction and the way you explain it to your friend. I have seen this NPR tiny desk concert several times and I am awed on how the boys harmonize with each other.

Hey Ryder (sp?). Thanks for your time. I think if you enjoy film you should react to things that you can really sink your teeth into and analyze. Of course I’m BTS biased as their music videos are quite cinematic. You might enjoy some behind the scenes, making of kind of stuff too. Would suggest House of Cards, Rain, 134340 for a jazz man. They are definitely some of the mores jazz influenced songs. I’d also pop Stigma and Outro: Her in there. More jazz adjacent. Stigma is wrought with pain. Outro: Her is very chill hip hop vibes. You nice, keep going 💜

Did you say jazz? Check out 'House of Cards' and V's solo 'Singularity' and 'Stigma'.

happy for bringing along your friend introducing him to bts that alone shows you like bangtan boys too! nice to know also that you're getting to know bts more but still a long way to go...enjoy and have fun your journey with bts 💜💜💜

Excellent reaction! My first time seeing Ryder and really loved your collaboration here. You did a great job explaining things without being wordy and don’t worry about the sub titles thing. I was happy to hear it from the beginning again. I hope Ryder will be checking out more BTS, as he hasn’t seen any choreography or concerts yet. It’s another whole level of awesomeness 😁

Nelson, seeing you vibing to Dynamite and Save Me had me smiling the whole video. Can't wait to see your next reaction to BTS.

They have a unique bond from not only transcending so much bullying, hate etc. as underdogs together, but also from having to walk through their fears together while breaking history left and right, literally changing the world together

Absolutely, Ryder should check out the MV for Spring Day. We would love to have his critical take on its design and production qualities. Also the one take approach to the SAVE ME MV. BTS MVs are generally superb at story telling.

Bts room live is amazing too

BTS become my anti stress, since i become widow they are my medicine😁 im Granny-Mommy ARMY since 2015😊😊😊😊😊😊 💙❤🖤💖💜💚💛BTS

If you liked this video feel free to go watch some of my other BTS videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as2daseC1Mu3iqM.html This is BTS xCeleste Reaction kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ98ia2bx5zLmWg.html My First Early Impression on BTS or just follow my whole journey from the start kzfaq.info/sun/PLY038Barc5CxJQ4ewn16ygv_FP0wCM53u

An underrated jazz BTS song would be "Rain" from their 2014 Dark and Wild album. It's a fantastic song, though very rarely mentioned to reactors, which is a shame.

V (Kim Taehyung) my bias has the most soulful voice and his solo tracks are influenced by Jazz &:RnB. Ryder should watch V's solo tracks Singularity but watch sure to watch the official mv as the imagery is something else again. V actually has of all members the widest vocal range his solo track Stigma the live version showcases his vocal range.

You guys shld also check out their “Festa Room Live 2021” Its Awesome! 👌💜

I really enjoy you and how respectful you are towards BTS I think your friend said it well that they stand for something. 💜💜💜 yes he would love the MV’s give him Blood Sweat and Tears lol might as well blow us mind at the start 😉

So, I was here before the premiere and then life happened and I had to adult so couldn't see it live. But I'm catching up now. The fact that "Dynamite" is a song that makes you feel good and like it instantly speaks a lot about the fact that it is a good song and does what it was meant to do. I still believe it should've won a grammy but hey... Seeing you be so enthusiastic with someone else about bts even if you still haven't listened to that much of their music is cool man. armies don't mind reactors that have a variety of opinions about their music or don't like some of their songs etc but we do mind when people are doing stuff for clout or disrespect them unnecessarily. And with each of your videos I can tell your interest is genuine. So I'm really excited for that and I hope you enjoy the journey too. and with every video I'm surprised at how much you understand about them and the kpop context. You got a lot of things right. The whole "bias" concept is also meant to avoid friction between fans as well. Because there are ppl we call "solos" - solo fans, that only like one of the members and hate on the rest. They are a really big pain in army's a**. So when someone says that Jimin (for ex) is their bias, it means smtg like: I like the whole band and all the members and the music they make together and if I were to choose one of them that pulls me in more (be it his voice, looks, personality etc) than the rest, it's Jimin. At least that's how I see it. Also, I gotta say, for many armies there is that one bias you had from the beginning but the more you know them, the bigger the chances that you get bias wrecked by the rest. My bias is RM, by the way :D

Jiminie ❤️❤️

I see myself in you whenever I explain BTS to a non army. Lol You are doing good! Spread the positivity & stay gold! 💜

You guys should do that! It would be great to see you reacting to different types of film style and more Thanks for the BTS content! Love it and this was so much fun!

BTS writes their own songs

There are reactors that watch videos and comment. Then there are ARMY that are so passionate about BTS that they find such joy in sharing BTS with people who don’t know, and maybe just go into too much detail in our excitement. We all do that because we love our guys because of their talent, message and just who they are at heart. You’re ARMY. 💜💜

Thank you! I'm glad that Ryder is enjoying BTS music. As a film maker, I think he might be interested in watching some of BTS's official videos that have absolutely amazing cinematography.....'ON' the official MV, 'Spring Day' (with the explanation), 'Black Swan', 'Fake Love', etc. Borahae, ARMY grandma

BTS life goes on hit number 1 on billboard chart and it was not in English .i purple you

You’re amazing. Your explanation and everything was on point.

The fact that BTS acknowledge the band, and thanking them. And thank you for having your friend with your reaction channel.

I love this reaction. Nelson!! You’re a full fledged ARMY! 💜

Spring day is actually their tribute song to the teenager victims of the ferry accident a few yrs back

I had fun chatting with you and armys, Nelson! Thank you and talk to you guys all later!

So just a slight correction, but when Dynamite hit #1 in the US, that would have happened even if it had been in Korean. Their previous song had been #4 and it was just a matter of time for them to get #1. They have been charting since 2015 (with albums) and their singles kept charting higher every single year. Them ruling the charts was inevitable. They didn't just "blow up" with a single hit, but Dynamite certainly gave them true mainstream status in the US.

I recommend your friend listen to House of Cards (live version), with just the 4 vocal lines. If Ryder likes making videos, I recommend Black Swan and Blood, Sweat and Tears, and maybe Run and Fake Love as well. I'm sure there are so many more but those stand out to me at the moment. Thanks for sharing about BTS; I hope he goes down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. :)

Life Goes On was their first korean song to debut no.1 on billboard hot 100..this was after dynamite and savage love remix.but before dynamite,some of their title tracks already entered the billboard hot100 highest rank was boy with luv debut no.8 if im not mistaken.when they release their BE album last nov 2020..the title track Life Goes On debut no.1 on bb hot100,even the b-side tracks debut also on charts.

New subscriber here... I love how you respect BTS. Thank you! from BTS Army 💜

Jimin 😍😍

My favorite performance love the tiny desk!! That’s what hooked me in!! I could finally tell each apart.. just started getting into because of dynamite!!!!

And Yes....BTS has some Jazzy songs....

Yes they have a very effective conflict resolution system. Literally 99% of BTS conflicts are resolved via Rock paper Scissors.

They don't get radio play for their Korean songs, but Billboard they have had a #1 Hot 100 Korean song - Live Goes On. Your friend should do the videos that are part of the Bangtan Universe. It's Music Videos, highlight reels, and short films. along with webtoons etc. but at least the BU content would be great.

I like your explanation and introduction to your friend what you had known. I like your reaction.

I see myself in you in this video. Keep vibing👍💜

This was a treat, thank you for this reaction with Ryder 😊

The icing of the cake in BTS MV for filmography are: Blood Sweat & Tears, Black Swan, DNA, IDOL, ON (Kinetic Manifesto) in my taste and Order.

They literally love eachother sooo much ,they can't even live without each other ,they feel empty when even one memeber missing , their love is true , if u will watch their whole journey ,u will understand everything ,their bond is unbreakable.. I also wonder some time ,how can 7 people love each other that much ,but then i realise bc they are our boys BTS ,world's most genuine and humble persons.. 💜

I just have to say that I've been watching you for a while now and I'm so impressed with how knowledgeable you are already about BTS. Enough that you explain things so well to your friend. You even know a lot about some of the in depth things from within the fandom. Looking forward to seeing more lol

It's so nice to see you being so enthusiastic about BTS! Thank you for such positivity! Loved the reaction!

First video i'm seeing of you, i love how you're introducing them like a proud parent, that's how you spot a true army! I'll go check out your other videos now, borahae

Spring day is written by both RM and Suga

They are so good!!

Big thank you for inviting your friend again, and the whole reaction, hugs from Canada🙂

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to educate your friend too 💜 so many people just assume they blew up world wide after dynamite, not realising they were already selling out whole Year long world wide stadium tours (including the US) years before dynamite was released

If he likes Jazz then he should check out the songs "Rain" and "134340"

sincerely love u reaction to bts

Wow you’re Great in explaining the songs to your friend. Bless you. Excellent reactions, very detailed. See you again in your next video.

Nelson, I like it ! you are so good at this ! Thank you 4 your great work

I think he should check out the mv by Suga called Daechwita. It's cinematically brilliant and lovely. Also, he might like the movie Train to Busan, another Korean cinematic masterpiece.

Thank you for introducing BTS to your friend. Their individual solos are just as amazing!

Loved this reaction if can please watch all BTS run.

I loved your reactions.... & Thank you for showing them to your friend.... I 💜 you.

Very nice description of the songs done by BTS on the Tiny Desk Concert. Thank you for explaining to your friend. I hope he takes a chance to go to some of the BTS MVs to see their very extensive talents. It would also benefit him to see the excellent production quality of BTS videos, as well.

That was an excellent explanation about the concept of Bias. Thanks

i enjoyed this reaction and i'm happy with the info shared. thank you! 💜 please watch more with ryder, especially the epic music videos since it's his cup of tea.

Nelson, I see myself in you when I am showing my friends to BTS contents. I am always so excited and so proud of BTS like you! Love ur reaction. 💜💜💜💜Borahae

Singularity by V is very Jazzy with R and B mixed in. 💜💜

Make him watch Save Me n Spring Day MVs, and Spring Day explanation vids
