Stray Kids [INTRO "樂-STAR"]

Comments

Very late, but I've seen them twice(Atlanta and Lollapalooza). Both times I drove six hours. They were easily my favorite people seeing live. During my Atlanta tour, I even got a Seungmin interaction because I spent a band on VIP. It was worth every penny too. Seeing them again during DominATE, trust ☝️

When I saw the word “ endorphins” I was so tempted to say dolphins 🐬 So I feel you Nigel 😭

Re: Prince, jyp building is full of memorabilia of the Greats! MJ, Madonna, Stevie, etc.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Asia Terrell

Please watch part 2 bro!!!

Asia Terrell

Just wanna share that SKZ is amazing live! Watched them in Manila during a fanmeet last January and their concert in March, and again during the AAAs recently. Would keep seeing them live whenever possible.

Jayelle

I will say- the choreography does not match the song ‘Silent Cry’ 😂 To this day, it does not make sense. Not that we’re complaining- the choreo is fire, it’s just surprising paired with that song.

Kellyann German

I've been to many kpop concerts (bts, seventeen, monsta x, nct, txt, twice, the rose) and they've all been amazing. I haven't been to an nonkpop show since cause honestly i feel like it wont hit the same. My next goal is to finally see SKZ on their next tour and i can imagine they're amazing live as well. I already got a lightstick ready.

Angie

I’ve seen them live twice. I have been to many concerts and SKZ have become the best concert I have been to. The first night I left in a daze. I just knew the second night would be better. And it was such an amazing experience. I will 100% trying to see them again

Hi hi! I love watching your videos. To answer your question about attending their concerts I can say that I had the pleasure of following them on three of their tour stops and attending 6 concerts in total. The experience is like no other. It’s like an experience of no other that you want to go to more. From floor seats to celebrity sections, well wherever you sit in the house, they make you feel like you’re the only one in the room and giving you a private energized show. They are hype and I would say that there is never a down/dull moment for the entire show. It’s something to experience in your lifetime.

I’ve been to a Stray Kids concert and I was THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Shania Nicholson

Watch the fancams of Lollapalooza and the SKZ-talker about the event

i was lucky to see SKZ twice! first time was in may 2019 in newark new jersey, they were great but had that sort of nervous rookie vibe. their energy and the crowd's energy was incredible though, and it was a pretty small venue so it felt more intimate. i saw them again in i think february of 2020 in nyc, and that rookie vibe was gone and they were so much more confident! unfortunately my disability kind of ruined the 2nd half of the show for me, but SKZ were still amazing and i want to see them again ❤️

oddinry

I saw them in March in Atlanta. And let me tell you... the stadium shook. Like for real shook. I had concert withdrawals for MONTHS. it was such an experience and they are such good preformers and it was so immersive. Like you really feel apart of the whole thing. Chan introduced himself as stays significant other and I haven't been the same since.

Kilah

I like the way you explain things, it's from the heart and that's all that matters!

LuckyLeveret

No yall but like why am I CRYING RIGHT NOW!!

Complex

Pls get into some more nct

Star

nigel being surprised about a song being kept in reserve for a year when skz have released shit from made in 2019/2020 this year

Isaac

Oh, I was there too and it was so freaking good.

xyia

JYP has different rooms/studios dedicated to the artists he looked up to; Michale Jackson, Bobby Brown and several other. Their picture is in the front of the studio and a symble for them is on the wall in that studio's sound booth. Like the black sunglass in the Stevie Wonder one and the mic on the wall in the James Brown room.

C1graham

I went to the skz concert in Chicago last year. Drove 6 hours from Minnesota but it was worth it.

Matthew Trocinski

I went to their Maniac concert in Chicago last year and let me tell you, one.. i am BROKE asf.. but i spent all my coin anyways as it was a birthday gift for myself, two NIGEL AND EVERYONE ELSE SEEING THIS!!, pls go, I know very well that money can be scarce, but it is so absolutely worth it.. it was literally a whole out of body experience and i am saving all my money right now so i can get as close as i can so i can be under the confetti (i was in the nosebleeds last time, but it was still so fun) when they go on their next tour.. but yes, its actually a crazier experience in person and i recommend everyone to go at least once if they can!

Susieee

also, no ... i have never been to a skz concert. unfortunately :')

misha

nigel, don't worry about the explaining thing!! while i totally get what you're saying (bc it IS COOL AS FUCK to be able to hear something and put it into words... trust me, i get it), i think most of us wouldn't be able to either. even if we could, there is nothing wrong with conveying thoughts and feelings in your own way, without all the fancy instrument analysis and whatnot. i love listening to people talk about music, and that ranges from straight-up musicians to music lovers to people who just vibe. in this case, skz can explain their songs through crazy musical terminology and we can freak out over the content together lol you have a passion and bring great, authentic energy to the table- and that'll always be enough!

misha

So last yr in june 28 & 29 i went to Newark, NJ for The Maniac Tour...with my bestie...we drove 4.5 hrs to get there so we could go....All i can say her and i lost our voices within the first 20 min on day one....and even until this day we talk about it...BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! it was the first city they visited for the 2nd world tour...if u think they are LIT in mvs and perfomances watching them on tv...but rl life is way above....it is sooo worth going...we just waiting for their next concert out here in the US again...also Nigel even tho they wrote the song a yr..they were in their 2nd world tour last yr ...so they write in between cities and traveling also...3Racha each have over 100+ songs they have written...

⛓️🥀RicanFreak69🥀 ⛓️

Unfortunately I haven't been to any of their concerts yet, I missed the lolla 🥲 I recently watched the DVD of the Maniac Tour with friends. It felt like I was there. We laughed and cried so much. I was also shocked when I read that they wrote LALALALA last year. But nothing surprises me anymore...when you see videos of them, you have to pay attention to everything because they spoil everything. They even spoiled the dance moves of S-Class on the Maniac Tour and even then they kept saying Rock'n Roll...we also think that the clown masks with LALALALA should be us STAYs because they always spoil us and we don't realize it... I would like to hear the demo of Cover me singing only Hyunjin and Chan I was shocked too but somehow I wasn't shocked that it was a one take 🙃

Anne

Yeah i was at one of their concerts and its been almost a year now and i still rewatch my concert videos i left very sad that it ended i also waited in the line for about 9hours but once straykids came on stage and the concert started it made me forget all the waiting and the pain in my legs its really an experience every stay should get too do i hope every stay can attend one of their concerts it was just an amazing vibe

ivana

Yes, I have been to their concert, and it was absolutely amazing! I had so much fun. I screamed from the time the anthem began until the very end with Haven. I was hoarse for the next 4 days, but it was so worth it. I hope everyone can eventually get the chance to see them live. They truly put on a show!

Jay

also i wanted to say that you're my favorite skz reactor ever, i really like your authenticity and even if you don't know a lot abt the technical side of music it's okay. don't be hard on yourself for the way you express yourself and how you are. if we are here with you that means we appreciate you and especially the way you are! as you always say we're a family and that's what i like the most. thank you for being you and loving stray kids.

mingnahc

i saw stray kids last july at lollapalooza paris (i missed their concert in july 2019 in paris the day before my birthday..) and let me tell you their stage presence is insane it's so different to hear them live the hype is even more big and it was incredible i wish everyone to see them live once its really not the same as seeing them on your phone or computer

mingnahc

FINALLY someone says something about the Prince symbol, I thought I was the only one who noticed

Aaliyah

Nigel, I'm a fairly new subscriber on here and on YT but you are brilliant just the way you are. That's why we're here and that's why the fam keeps growing by the day. <3 I went on Twitch for the first time in two years to join your stream for the experience and I had so much fun, just saying. You've brought me so much join and laughter during an especially hard time and I'm so grateful. Keep being great!

AshicallyMe

You being hard on yourself while we are on the Comflex section is crazy. Please Nigel don't overthink about the way you express yourself, we are not here for music analysis. We want to know your emotions and have a discussion with you. You're my favorite reactor for a reason. Don't copy anyone else. Flex your complexes

Shokojoh Jonh

over here its like a family, where we can geek over how good it sounds and how much each member shined but the reactors that break down the song into a logical way makes me feel like I'm back in school and idk if i like that hfgdfsdadgtfhjm im here for a good time not a complicated one uhygjhfndbgfsacs

amberXella

bro don't feel like you're not measuring up to the other reactors that say all these fancy ass words because most of the time they are looking at it from a logical standpoint (sometimes sounding like a robot dead ass) and the reason why we love you so much is because you let your emotions take over and we can get hype over it with you. Some times words cant describe why you like something, you just do and that is good enough. <3

amberXella

THEY REALLY LET LALALALA MARINATE FOR A WHOLE ASS YEAR EDTSDEGFHYGJKHJLKHJGFD

amberXella

Nigel I feel like I relate to your reactions more because you don’t know the technical side. I don’t know too much about music production etc etc and it is cool to know but I really think music to me is how it sounds and how it makes you feel forgetting all the technicalities bc the average person doesn’t know about all that. Anyways the dozens will always be tuning in for your reactions 🫶

Niamh

I've been looking forward to your reaction to Rock-Star so much for so long, Twitch is so irritating sometimes oml (it's completely not your fault so don't stress haha) Patreon is the "Nigel app" to me because you're the only person I want to watch here hahahahaha anyways, I love your videos and the community you're building!! Prioritise yourself first and take care! I hope you loved the album as much as I did and even though I didn't get to experience the live stream I'm sure it was heaps of fun :)))

amberXella

I am getting my degree in music performance and this semesters music theory class is kickin my butt, but hearing your frustration in not being able to articulate or understand musical terminology and ideas made me realize how lucky and grateful I am for my lifetime surrounded my music. Truly dreading my class tomorrow a lot less than when I started this. I love you and your Channel it is a major de-stress in my crazy life. Nigel, if you ever need a musical interpreter I am willing and able to be of assistance. 🫶

Emily Kline

MAAAN I should've watched the beginning of this video before I got myself all hyped for a few hours until i was able to watch, I thought this was the album review RIP. The ABSOLUTE IRRITATION I FEEL AGAINST TWITCH IS IMMACULATE (no hate to you Nigel 100% not your fault). BUT I THANK YOU SOOO MUCH NIGEL for leaving it up on twitch, although some parts are muted, i noticed its not the entirety of every song that's muted. SO I shall be watching it there because I cannot wait another second, and I encourage others who cannot wait a single second to watch it, to go over to twitch and watch it anyways. THANKS NIGEL FOR TRYING SO HARD FOR US WE LOVE YOU<3333

Serena

are you able to watch the whole stream on your end? can you try and screen record the whole thing if it doesn't work? i was working so i wasn't able to join the stream :/

caaalli

So about the different recording rooms having pictures and symbols of Prince, Stevie Wonder, etc., JYP designed his building to have themed rooms. Each room is named after a famous musician, like there’s a dance practice room named after Bobby Brown. JYP said he wanted those who walked through his halls to know about the greats of music and use it as inspiration . In each room there’s a picture of JYP with that artist (if possible). Like him and Stevie Wonder, him and Quincy Jones, etc…JYP is a strange man….but he’s making the money.

redvelvetnerd

I've went to a Stray Kids concert earlier this year and it was AMAZING. Like it was incredible and we had so much fun. The members are so talented and hilarious and played games with us and everything. It was worth the money, I highly recommend seeing SKZ in concert!

Tiana Morgan

I watched your skz rockstar album review although idk why some parts were muted I could barely hear your reaction

Mia

omg how long is the video!!? but seriously nigel thank u for everything u do always!! i’m happy u checked out the intro video this time around and i always enjoy ur input, ur so enjoyable to watch and we missed u sm 🥹🥹

Ayan

"Dolphins that are orphans", Nigel wtf 🤣

Shokojoh Jonh

NOOOO not twitch thinking, NAUUUR😭

Shokojoh Jonh

You talked for a whole hour because you took a week off 🥲 I’m just kidding, I missed you too and I LOVE these long videos! I have been to a stray kids concert and it’s amazing. The energy is overwhelming and they are incredible performers, I would love to see them every month 😩 Also Nigel… orphan dolphins?

Layah Snow

Nigel don’t overthink how other reactions are produced. We watch you because we are the journey with you . We’re watching your growth as a channel, a reactor and as a whole person . We come back every time because just like stray kids you’re unfiltered, natural and honest. Stay being you because you’re awesome. I wish I caught the live last night but being an Aussie 🇦🇺puts me in a different time zone. I went to the 2 Concerts in Sydney Chris and Felix home town and it was beyond expectations. Their live show is energetic, crazy but also has some soft moments. They really do love stay . I went with my youngest who was 15 at the time, my eldest who’s 22 and her fiancé and all of us enjoyed it . I think most people when first listening to SKZ miss how deep what they have to say is. They are incredibly intelligent and very aware of what’s happening around them . They appeal to all ages because of their lyrics . Nigel please don’t change how you react , how you see the world and how you share your inner thoughts. When aI watch you I feel like I’m right there with you . Thanks for brightening up my day 😁♥️

Michelle Hannaford

Yo bro, Falsetto is the breathy high part of a singer’s voice. Here is how you can tell when someone is singing in falsetto: it’s not as powerful as the vocals in the singer’s “full voice”, and there’s usually a clear break that you can tell between the full voice and the falsetto when a singer reaches a certain note in their upper singing register. It’s also a lot more soft and less strained. When Seungmin is talking about singing in falsetto in the prechorus of LALALALA, the “cause we will make” is in falsetto, then he transitions to his full voice when he sings “it rock” On the other hand, it isn’t too hard to tell when someone is singing in vibrato; it sounds like there are vibrations in their voice (hence the word) as opposed to them singing straight, “flat” sounding note. Hope this helps

Lucky

I have been to a staykids concert! 🙋🏾‍♀️ july 2022 I saw them in the ‘manic’ tour Chicago! They played Haven as the last song and I cried the whole way home, I live in Missouri 😭 That was the best experience I have every had.

Riiiah

I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the album more today! I was a little surprised by how you felt about it during yesterdays steam but I’m glad you watched the intro and got to see the songs in a more in depth perspective :)

Reyna

And I love hearing the technical talk/ how they record and the creative process cause I like to learn how they work as professionals. They're crazy skilled and I'm so curious each time

CoolCrow

Ah so as a note, when Seungmin was mentioning how "S-Class" and "LALALA" go together, he was saying that they both go well since they're one-syllable song titles (in Korean), and he was saying one-syllable titles have a good impact. Their Korean titles are single syllable words : "Teuk" (for S-Class) and "Rok" (rok, meaning "pleasure" in Korean, as Han was also explaining)

CoolCrow

yh they have a youtube channel with pre-debut songs...its lit and it will give u a feel of 3-racha before skz. Their growth too is amazing some of the lyrics are hella funny too.

☆A_B☆

I saw them at the Maniac tour in Chicago then both LA Maniac tour Encore shows, and it really is such an insane experience, I cannot wait to see them live again. I cried many times ngl

Keren Ferino

To your first question: I've been to 3 SKZ concerts. In fact, I flew across the country twice to see them (and went a little broke) and I can tell you it is f*cking crazy! They put on the best show I've ever seen and they are 100% their crazy selves.

Erinaceous

Nigel I don’t know if you know but 3racha has songs on YouTube not in albums their separate you should listen to start line

AzzyAzz

I manifest every day for stray kids to come to Latam :’)

stayalexa

Nigel your reactions are the best and that's why we love watching you :)

☆A_B☆

They’re not out yet

AzzyAzz

As someone who has been to multiple Stray Kids concerts, I can say that without a doubt Stray Kids concerts are SO LIT!! I've been to many concerts, including western artists, I've been to kcon several times, Stray Kids blow it out of the water every single time. The energy and stage presence they bring is unmatched. Every single time I've been to their concert, I make friends with the Stays around me even though we've never met. The atmosphere is just very welcoming and when Stray Kids perform, the energy is electric. Stray Kids are really big on interacting with fans, it really feels like just one big party with friends/family. I highly recommend going to one if you can

Gabriella

Nigel there are usually more than one intro one is going to be the actual recording and the actual dance practice like them actually practicing you should watch those too

AzzyAzz

CRYING okay so about the artists in the recording rooms!!! JYP has themed practice and recording rooms named after/styled after legendary artists that he sees as good inspiration for the artists under the label! Theres a Michael Jackson practice room too which skz used to use really often lol

Kaylee

They have so many songs that are not released we just heard glimpse of it in Chan room and it’s on his computer, That’s why every stay in the world wants to steal his computer 😭

Rzan

Take ur time bro, u said ur mom was coming right? If so I hope ull have a good time w her

Eli

It means energy bro😭😭

Kiki

No I wish they can come to Saudi Arabia😢if they came I WILL DEFINITELY GO AND SCREAM MY SOUL OUT

Kiki

I really hope you watch the 5 star INTRO it’s so good 🫶

Rzan

Yep saw skz in Atlanta and it’s the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts lol. It was so amazing and I was so immersed in what was goin on that when it ended it felt like it not lasted 5 minutes when it was closer to 3 hours. Changed my life fr lol

Cat Morales

IT WAS A GREAT STREAM OMG❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Kiki

i went to their concert in Melbourne and it was literally the best experience of my life. They’re INCREDIBLE performers and just awesome people in general, and they’re experts at hyping up the crowd and involving them in their music and antics. If you ever get the chance you should definitely try to go because it was absolutely amazing

Lia Roslyn

Im also sick🤕🤕🤒 i hope you get better tomorrow🫶🏽

Kiki

Off topic but I think yo should react to Rolling Quartz. They are a k-pop girl rock band and their sound is different from any other K-pop groups ive heard. Plus their look is sick. TBH tho idk much about them just heard a song and thought it would be cool to see you react.

Clara 101

Nigel since u said u can't wait to watch the dance practice, I also HIGHELY recommend the live performance personally the first live performance they did is my favorite but all of them are good but u got to check it out 💓 with the dance practice it's so good Live performance link : https://youtu.be/mgnzMiqdzKA?feature=shared

Hannah🎸

Falsetto is usually head voice/higher voice. Falsetto is usually where softer songs are sang if they get higher

Kaylee

29:45 it 100% is but none of the words seungmin said were 😭 vibrato (vibe- rah- toe) is the thing you sometimes hear in longer held out notes where they make their voice "shaky" it opens up the sound. Singing it without vibrato is not changing the tonality at all and usually is a lot more impactful

Kaylee

Nope I live in Sweden so no concert for me. I hope they come to Europe next year.

Kickan75

MISSED YOU NIGELLLL

Courtney Monet

I have been to dozens and dozens of shows in my 34 years of life and I've NEVER seen a show like Stray Kids. I couldn't talk after leaving...Nigel..CHANGBIN LOOKED ME IN THE EYEBALLS DO YOU UNDERSTAND. HE COMPREHENDED MY EXISTENCE FOR A SPLIT SECOND. I have yet to recover, over 16 months later.

koibitto

Concert was amazing. It was 3 hours long and they went hard!

Elizabeth Schartok

I had. Not been to a concert. I found them mid tour 🥺

Lil’ Itchy AKA Jadis

Why you have to remind me that I haven’t been to a concert. 🥲

✨Addy✨

When is the post for the Straykids rockstar album

Mia

I hope it lets you download and load it here. I had to work 🥺 I was only able to pop in for like 3min 😩

Lil’ Itchy AKA Jadis

ORPHANED DOLPHINS NIGEL PLS 😭😭😭😭😭😭 my mum is looking at me crazy for scream laughing omg. also yes skz concerts are hype as hell i literally cried i was so happy to exist in that space with them

kelskiiz

Bro a skz concert is an experience i wish for everyone. I rewatch my videos every time. I miss them so much

Jennifer

Nigel I left the last concert in a damn near comatose state both absolutely happier than I have ever been and also devastated that I couldn’t bottle the feeling of that show and take a shot of it every morning. Best. Night. Of. My. Life. You’ll see what I mean when you finally go. It’s fucking unreal.

Karley

the stream was so fun!!! can't wait to experience the next comeback with you as well<33

Halsha

6:59 a lot of people are speculating ryan reynolds!!! they became friends after the deadpool kingdom performance and ryan reynolds plays deadpool which plays into the whole breaking the 4th wall megaverse/multiverse theme of the song!!

skzlover

Btw, I've been lucky enough to attend their 4 of their Maniac concert dates and I didn't feel disappointed, tired or bored at all! Each concert is unique in it's own way. And if I can go to more, I definitely will!

ella

Well they did come to my country and I attended the concert but 10 minutes before it even started the weather got really bad so it got canceled so technically I didn’t get to see them live but I get to watch the concert live on beyond live and it goes hard I couldn’t even imagine what it like to be actually in there with them I can’t wait for them to come back in my country again 😭

Rzan

Nigel, a skz concert is out of this world! Seeing them perform and interact w/ eo and with stays live is so so much better than watching them through a screen! I hope you and all the stays who haven't experienced it yet, gets to soon. ❤️

ella

YAYY IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE STREAM!!

Paris

I’m sooo sad i missed the live i was at work 😭😭😭 but I loved watching this with you feels like watching it with a friend 🫶🏼🤪

Ava PereZ

WOOOOOO THANK YOU NIGEL<33 hope you had a nice vacay 🏝️☀️

Serena
