Best of Me
- Jungkook spices up this song when singing & #39;time& #39; by changing it from a simple single note to a 3 note descending run

So What
- Jungkook alters an entire section of the verse& #39;s melody & raises most notes a whole step/tone higher than original
AND
- He makes the & #39;what& #39; sound more interesting by embellishing what was originally a single note with am impressive 6 note descending run down an octave

Euphoria
- 1st part: JK replaces the original 3rd note of the D major scale with a higher 5th note then glides back down to the original pitch & adds in rhythmic variety with repetition
- 2nd part: he embellishes the original E4 with a clever step-down-step-up 3 note riff

Love Myself
Jungkook shows his vocal agility by descending from what was originally a simple D #4 into a vocal riff consisting of 2 repetitions of a 2 note alteration. The notes are very distinct and clear. Beautifully executed!

What Jungkook is doing in all of these examples requires a high degree of musicality.
To have such flexible creative singing, LIVE, means having a solid grasp of musical concepts such as keys, scales & harmony of underlying chords.

This can either be learned & done consciously (thru studying music theory) or come naturally for the musically gifted who do it subconsciously. Either way, day by day, Jungkook is showing more and more of his musicianship, and it& #39;s amazing. He has my full respect and more.
