[REV] Love in the Ice SOUL POWER LIVE
OMG OMG OMG!!! I'm totally totally SO MADLY IN LOVE with this version!!! The band, the music, the boys' vocals...*swoons* Therefore, I HAVE TO review this!!!
I am extremely impress by the boys' vocals!
Let's talk about the band first. I never knew the keyboardist would be so ....I don't know..hippy-ish. The hair was just really funky. XD Hahahaha..that was what caught my attention first. And even though once the boys started singing, the camera didn't focus much on keyboardist-san, but I could hear the lines that he played. It didn't overshadow their singing, but melodious enough to create the accompanying effect. Almost similar to the lines in the original recording, but his solo part was completely different. Simpler in fact. But, after the bridge part, his build-up, *wow*. Those glissandos...it really adds the building up effect without interfering with the strong vocals by THSK. And the drummer and bassist, really kept it going even though it's just a ballad. I especially liked drummer-san's fill in before the 2nd chorus. It caught me by surprise. It sounded like a disco rhythm fill in at first. XD The string line was repetative in each chorus. It's the same line..
The lights....brilliant! To just focus on each member during their parts is just brilliant. Not only it created the sombre mood but also the entire atmosphere and feel of the song.
Tohoshinki. What can I say. The vocalists who really gave me goosebumps were Yoochun, Yunho and Changmin, in no particular order. I'm not bias or anything. I love all of them to bits, but these 3 really blew me away. Did you guys notice how powerful HoMin's vocals were? Their harmonies were spot on too! And the bridge part...*faints* ...Even though you could hear the strain in JaeSu's vocals, but ChunHoMin really made up for it. Seriously..when do you ever hear Yoochun going so high to THAT note, THAT strongly?? Yunho as well...for a bass singer to go up to that note so strongly and clear (not falsetto, mind you), it's really impressive. We could actually listen to their improvements.
This is on my repeat list...and I don't think I'll ever get bored of it. I'm also making it a point to watch this video every night...Hahahahaha...out of obsession of the whole thing.
