Stray Kids "Double Knot (English Ver.)" Performance Video

Comments

Nigel seems traumatized lol

You Know_British_AmeriacanOooO

This is the only song of theirs I listen to the English version of. Its also cool that it was recorded after official OT8. Love this video.

StayBae

I’m sorry but this was horrible 💀. Domino English Ver. and Slump English Ver. are TOP TEIR. This is proof that the English language is basic and stupid as hell. 😭

ive listened to both the english n korean versions sm that whenever i listen to one, my brain flips between that n the other one. its weird but it makes the eng ver slightly more bearable

Miles

I actually loved hearing them doing the song in English BECAUSE it was a different version from what I first heard and fell in love with. And, they just sound so adorable when they speak in English. 😝 But the Korean version will always be my favorite

Deane McCollum

i hate this version so much LMAO i've been trying to not watch this video but i'm so curious to see what you had to say

Jessica

I'm the exact same way Nigel like whatever version I hear first will always be my favorite like they have a song called Circus (idk if you've reacted to that yet) which is originally in Japanese and then they made a Korean ver. and the Japanese one just hits different. I'll still listen to the English version at least once just to get a better idea of what they're saying and what the lyrics mean but then I go right back to the original.

Hannah Brown

I don't like this version, either. I am one who tends to only like the version I heard first, although Levanter & Domino eng ver are the exception, as I love love love both the Korean & English ones. But Double Knot choreo is still my favorite skz choreo to this day. Watch the original dance practice if you haven't seen it- it is effing 🔥

Jackie

the english ver of double knot is definitely not my fav lol its okay but the domino english ver is better

chickychoso

The English Domino version is soooo good

Shauni Livingstone

Lol i feel the same about most english versions of kpop songs but trust us, the eng version of Domino goes SO HARD

stay_

I definitely didn't really like the lyrics but the choreography is too tier

BriBri✩

I like the english version of levanter but double knots eng version isn't my favorite

Madelyn & Kaitlyn

I think you most likely tend to prefer the version you listened to first because your ears are simply used to it

Annika B

Since you already listens to Domino the Domino English version is extremely good like I agree this one was iffy but Domino is absolutely amazing https://youtu.be/FSyPtBEhFtY

Shania Nicholson

nigel domino english version goes hard 🤌🏼

gplebbs

Definitely different. To me Levanter was better than this then Domino in English was great. I also feel with this song it was due to some of their lack in English skills at this point. The raps hit much much harder in Domino English because they were way more skilled in the language then. I think Chan even said in an interview he had to slow the raps down here.

Lil’ Itchy AKA Jadis

I get it to an extent. The only thing is I never get that disconnect between the Korean and English versions. My disconnect is between Korean and Japanese skz songs. (If I hear a skz song in Japanese first the Korean version sounds weird to me and vice versa.)

Tracy McGill

I understand where you are comming from, the only english translated Song from SKZ is slump. The others I don't like as much as the original one. 🙈

Have a great day

The reason they have cuts and stuff is something most Stays cant explain. It has to do with skzlore, which is very difficult to understand if you don’t get certain movies in the Marvel universe. Its a lot of stuff with clones and originals. Watching a video may help. This TikToker help me understand, their name is @exstayshi. Also Domino English ver is really good and one of the only English ver I can listen to.

Emme Payne

does anybody have a link to nigels discord?? i would love to join it but i cant seem to find a link anywhere </3

Ashlee

please watch double knot dance practice you will not regret!!!!

Nathalie

like everyone said levanter, domino, and slump are LEAGUES better eng versions but also their newest album has 2 entirely english songs and they're really good and sound much more natural and hit wayyyyyyy better. double knot is definitely their weakest eng version of a song tbh

Isaac

OH AND QUEEN LEVANTER TOOO!

caaalli

DOMINO AND SLUMP ENGLISH VERSIONS ARE TOP TIER

caaalli

you should listen to their Japanese songs my favorite is TOP, especially the m/v

NightOwl

agree

NightOwl

Levanter, domino and slump English vers are the absolute best! Super Bowl and Youtiful too obviously but they’re originally in English lol

Lia Roslyn

I think it is normal to like a song more in the original language it was composed in or in the language you first heard the song. They have songs that they wrote in Korean but then first put it out in Japanese and I tend to like the Japanese version best because it is how I first fell in love with the song. Plus their song, more than others, really are composed very intentionally to make every sound, sample, vocal, ad lib come together and contribute to the texture of the music so when a word changes or causes the vocal to sound a bit different it sounds like a completely new mix of the song.

DM Wilson

Slump in english ✨ It is a must! But also Levanter!

Loopeh

I legit like Levanter in English tho! Like double knot might've been like their first try at it but Levanter is SO MUCH BETTER!

EliaFiyahhh (eli-yuh fi-yuh)

the double knot english version was the first stray kids song I ever listened to and got me into skz. So it holds a special place in my heart but nah I agree with you.

Maya

Levanter English version is fire

AlliePandaa

YOU SHOULD HEAR DOMINO AND SLIMP ENGLISH VR. SOMEONE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TEIR PLS RECOMMEND THAT

ℓєιԃувυց (ℓєι)

You made me laugh. I like this version but I feel the same. The Korean version is harder. But I like being able to sing it at the top of my lungs in the car 😂😂😂Levantar and Slump are my favorite English versions. Everyone is saying Domino but that is actually my least favorite English version

Monica

imo levanter eng ver is soo much better i think this was req for dance/choreo? idrk but levanter eng is top top tierr i swear i think bc the song is so beautiful sonically and lyrically it rlly hits deep constantly hearing the lyrics in english opposed to korean bc u understand in the moment but i digress 😭 levanter, domino, and slump r all solid eng versions so i hope u eventually check them out too!!

Ayan

I don’t necessarily think the English ver to this song is bad it’s interesting to see what their voices sound like in English and they try so hard to translate it for us fans also with their Japanese releases.

Mia

I think this specific video was requested because it’s OT8 Double Knot, where as the MV still has Woojin. Of course the song is re-released with 8 members in Korean, but I want to say this video is the only video of the ot8 version even if it’s in English. Also probably for the choreo.

redvelvetnerd

I don’t know who recommended this but it would’ve been better if you just reacted to the double knot dance practice. It’s so good🔥

Sunshine

I get it. I usually prefer the song in whichever language I heard 1st. Levanter in English is my exception. The English version is soooo pretty. 🥰🥰

Mikki

honestly if u wanna hear them deliver in another language then it's definitely Japanese bc Circus was a masterpiece

0325lix

As a latina i can so relate to what u said about spanish music loses its flavor once its translated..it dont hit the same...so as for Double Knot in english for me i only like it cuz is more of the performance/choreo for me .but im like Nigel i prefer the original version 10x better for me..either way i learned it in Korean .so im good with jeeping the OG version...so ty Nigel once again

⛓️🥀RicanFreak69🥀 ⛓️

Domino is the only English version I regularly listen to but I do also really like the slump English version.

Fionnuala

yeah I'm not a fan of this English version... but domino's English version slaps so so hard... I would have rather u react to the double knot dance practice than this... I'm so sad no one recommended the dance practice to this T-T

0325lix

double knot is definitely the lowest ranked out of all of skz’ english translations, but the other four (levanter, top, slump, domino) all HIT 🔥

kelskiiz

I competely agree. Most of the time I don’t really like the English versions of songs. Not to analyse too far but I think English is a rounder language compared to Korean which is more sharper and that’s why it doesn’t hit the same. But I definitely love the boys’ effort because except our Aussie duo none of them are english native speakers so shout out to them. And like other Stays said the best English version for me is Domino bc they were more « experienced » than Double knot and the way the rap is delivered is as strong as the original version ✨✨✨

Elisa

I agree. I always prefer the original versions of songs. However, "Levanter" in English is absolutely beautiful! You just have to trust me on this one. You will LOVE Levanter in English!

Emily Cortes

Yeah I absolutely get it and I agree, once I hear a song it throws me off in another language and I always feel so bad cause I know the work they had to put into translating and pronunciating. But it's just what your ear gets used to so even if you tell yourself to try and like it, it's just not the same. It happened to me with so many skz songs, since they have contracts with the U.S. and Japan they often do these alternative versions, but I just stick with the first version I hear be it the original or the translated one, it's just about what I'm used to.. All that said the only songs I can hear both versions of are Slump, Domino and omg Levanter🥺, surprisingly also The Sound korean ver. which came out months after the original Japanese one.

Andrada Patricia Ilade

I completely agree with you! I find the Korean version so much better than the English. There's actually only a few Straykids's english versions I enjoy :D

xX_Kenziebear_Xx

i usually hate eng versions of songs like you but levanter eng version is beautiful i love it more than korean you should check it out

werxskza

I definitely like the Korean version better for Double Knot but something that is good translated in English is Domino.

KitKat Kera

The best English ver of one of there songs is slump and domino. Which you should check out both!

Hailly Rose

No fr😭 it hits diff

Hannah🎸

Why Double Knot in English? I thought maybe Domino or Slump. Those ones are the best in terms of translations.

Rantea Thompson

you should hear levanter and slump, the english versions are good

Tina S

Nigel feeding Stays today❤️

Andrada Patricia Ilade

I swear Nigel sooner or later u have to hear domino and slump eng ver they are top tier 💙

Hannah🎸
