That is the most valid criticism (if you wanna call it that) of Taeyeon. That calm, introverted, humble nature of hers does translate onto the stage and if you know her you notice but you expect it, accept it, and love it on her and it makes it that more exciting when you see her kinda pop off and feel herself prime example the RDR performance at 2011 concert but first impressions can be hit or miss because of it. That’s my girl forever though she just does it for me ❤

His point about the feeling of lack of urgency is so funny when you know that Taeyeon literally means "calm" XD I can see where he's coming from though. There are performers that click for some and don't for others. That's the beauty of art :) To paraphrase Taeyeon from her recent Harper's Bazaar interview (may 2023): "It's a continuous process of convincing the public with her music"

When i tell you taeyeon has the best discography outta all the kpop female soloist. I freakin mean it. SHE IS THAT QUEEN.

I agree with Jake's opinion during the Gravity performance . You can definitely tell and feel it when Taeyeon is truly experiencing and feeling the song/performance, but there are stages where she isn't and the performances video here are one of them I have cried though multiple times from her other emotional performances, so when i watch the other stages where it felt like she wasn't fully feeling it, thus affecting her stage presence, i still like it because of her voice and she is my ult 😆

„Lack of urgency“ 😂 Well, that is actually put in a kind but somehow accurate way. If you watch e.g. the Step Back video version with the constant camera focus on Taeyeon you notice how she dials up and down the energy depending on if she is the focus or not (which is valid, orchestra musicians also relax a bit when they accompany or have a break). But still there is some kind of Teayeon‘s movements in general maybe being not as punchy as other artists. But in my opinion it’s one of her endearing traits that she pulls you in slowly with her quiet confidence & elegance. If her personality and her music are your cup of tea she can make you a bit crazy over time like a siren luring you in 😊 But tastes vary and Jake said everything so respectful. Nice video.

Yeah, hearing Taeyeon's live then going to hear the record version is like going backwards when it comes to quality. Like live instruments just hit different plus the arrangements mostly were different (and improved) might be because the concert director have a vision different from the album/song producer. Too bad SM just refuse to release a live album version or do a bare minimum job when it comes to Taeyeon.

cant believe they talked over the best part of INVU

do you mind showing them "Fiine" live?? it's from the same concert and tayeon sings her HEART out in that

I love Jake! I love his thoughts and questions si much❤ my king Taeyeon 👑

I love Jake's humour so much

Whenever Jake is on it feels like an event! He's so right about the Ariana Grande influence in K-pop but it's way more extreme in SM. You can even pinpoint the change in say Girls Generation's music after she got big. SM heard Ariana's The Way and bought a dozen songs that sound like that. Red Velvet debuted after her so they started with that sound already. I'd love to see Jake react to more girl groups! 2NE1 would be really interesting for him to kind of see more 2nd gen and maybe some BoA solo. But I'm curious what he thinks about NewJeans too based on what he said about Taeyeon's laid back performance style.

When it comes to Taeyeon... idc her WHY album WILL FOREVER be her best album for me honey.. NO SKIPS.. ALL BOPS! I play that shit to this day straight through!🥲🥲🥲

Omg amo a Taeyeon 😊❤

We need that vibe song list like: four seasons, baram x 3 and feel so fine

You should introduce Ailee to him. He will love her performance

YESSS WE LOVE JAKE

Oh here’s my guy! 😂

Lmaooooo not Hunger Games, Jake!! He's so right tho, bc who do you even look at fr?? Esp if you dont listen to kpop normally and you don't know who is who. Btw this star quality convo is making me think of Kandy Muse on S13 of Drag Race hahahaha.

I would think they’re eccentric but not a crackhead 😂

show him the can’t control myself mv or something new mv 😁

oh i loveeee him

i think jake would rlly enjoy chungha!

I know Taeyeon but who is Jake btw?? Anyhow my Girl is still conveying and performing her arts through singing!

I don't see what you are missing from Taeyeon… You evidently want something different from a singer than I do, because, to me, Taeyeon is the ideal. Sorry, since you and me are looking for different things I definitely won't be following you. Steve P.
