- Sometimes you have to leave all expectations at the door and just let yourself be overwhelmed with talent. Sohyang is INCREDIBLE- there were so many surprises within this performance, I had an amazing time analysing her vocals - what do you think of Arirang Alone?
*I have a new single called GHOST out! I'd love your support:

#VocalCoach #SoHyang #ArirangAlone - Hudba
She does her own arrangements...is a teacher and author as well as a vocalist.
and writer too
She's an actress, philanthropist and humanitarian as well. : )
@@yanki198 yes- a writer of Fantasy novels
Mark Hansen and a goddess 100% confirmed
Yanky 1071 what do you think an author is...
awesome reaction. Other songs to consider is Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Lean on Me, You Raise Me Up, and Everyone . All these songs were performed on the same TV production as this one. She is a gospel singer, a cancer survivor, and one of the best voices on the planet. On the arrangement, she actually does this to most anything she performs, so it gives the meaning of what she wants to convey but still keeps the respect of the original.
Don't forget Breathe (the best song of them all, the 'I am Singer' version). Pure fucking magic! So Hyang is the ultimate storyteller.
@@braindump1446 Breathe is a cover song and was first performed in King of Mask Singers. Probably my number two song, of which Dear Love is my first.
rodney nelson
Lean on me. Definitely lean on me.
@@ignatiuschua5268 Do you Know and Where are you
@@yanki198 Do You Know is underrated. It probably has the most high notes in a Sohyang song.
the song is about the reunification of North and South Korea, so it's pretty big to them
That's We Believe, this song is more about Dokdo island hence the title Arirang alone
@@baekdutiger631 No, it's Arirang.
@@adara4635 Do you speak Korean?
@@baekdutiger631 Well,, I think this song implies reunification of Korea. Lyric repeats going Dokdo with holding hands... Also there're a lot of "We" at the lyric.. I'm Korean and I feel that messages after listening the song.. This could be just my opinion, but Dokdo has a lot of meaning to Korean..I think this song is more than just about Dokdo
@@baekdutiger631
Actually, this one version is from a man missing his parents during the time Korean split into two country. That's why you can hear Hallasan - _Highest mountain in South Korea_ and Baekdu/Paektu - _Highest mountain in North._
LMAO I'm not Korean but that's what I've heard.
Arirang, Korea with a long history, was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 5, 2012. In the lyrics of this song, the East Sea and Dokdo appear, showing that it is the territory of Korea.
Sohyang always presents me with tears and emotion. Sohyang is the best singer among the best.
Next up from So Hyang
You raise me up
Everyone
Bridge over trouble water
Dk R you raise me up she will cry it is too good Sohyang is an angel!
Lean on me
Great choice. And then add her rock(ish) version of It's only my world. And the beautiful sensitive Breathe...
make sure to include the immortal songs link for you raise me up
Up
4:26 literally _goosebumps._
SoHyang - Everyone, - This is the most masterful vocal i've ever heard.
It's the hardest song she ever did
OOOOOOO YES I’m very happy you reacted to Sohyang. Her voice is very dynamic and versatile, you should listen to Mona Lisa (rock) Or Hug me (ballad)or It’s my only word (rocky), day day (rap) she does some rock and ballads. Love your reaction and you’re appreciation of her vocal prowess
yep def masked singer performances are my favourite
I Worship Gays And Satan hug me is amazing!
Nino the pug. Many people start with "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" which is also dramatic, and demonstrates her perfect English.
Sohyang can sing anything
It is a traditional Korean folk song that makes me feel sad and overwhelmed.
great song
Great vocals
Thank you for the great reaction.
This song is about the reunification of North and South Korea. What a powerful performance!
You're wrong. Arirang is not the song as you ramble.
In modern times the deep desire for reunification is expressed in this song but it has ancient roots that descend back to a time very long before the division or the Japanese occupation that created it.
Arirang is a folk song with over 600 years of history, and as such, has many regional variations. Arirang Alone is an adaptation of the lyrics on the reunification of South and North Korea, and is only a few decades old. The arrangement here is a reimagined dramatic version that utilizes the talent of Sohyang to tell the story in an epic way.
I love watching people react to sohyang for the first time, especially her performance to Arirang Alone.
At first, everyone thought her voice fit into pure type of category, and then she SLAMS everyone with her mixed voice.
She never failed to surprise everyone
here is a point to mention she is involved in her own arrangments.she is not new she has been tuning that voice for 20 plus years , she had cancer in her early 20s she is 42 now read her bio she is not only a wonderful singer also a wonderful women
You really need to watch her performance of “bridge over troubled water”. It’s amazing.
I really love how technical you can get when it comes to singing. But I believe you can get even more technical if you could react to her most difficult song "Everyone". It's her most technically difficult song ever. I hope you could analyze it. Love lots! 💕
Check out John Henny Vocal Studio's analysis- John is a published vocal TEACHER (not a reactor like others) who did a fantastic analysis of this song.
Sohyang's my favourite singer. I mean, I have favourite artists, who write and perform their own work, but she's my favourite vocalist, as in, the one who I think is the "best", which I realize is subjective...but she literally brings me to tears, and I'm kind of an emotionless type (or at least that's what people think). Also, love the pug cushion.
Sohyang is amazing and well known for her mixed voice and control. Also her Bb5 notes there made people shookt. She is great!
She is singer numberone to the world
Not the best one but one of the best
WTF is wrong with people ?! It's an opinion nobody's opinion is right or wrong it's a personal preference.
I personally think Dimash is the best but that doesn't mean that people who think she is the best are wrong !!!
@@kolgerrard1964 Agreed. There are people who now say that Angeline Jordan is the best singer in the world. I love all of them!
shes one of my favourites vocal singers, her pitch is always on point. She also does the arrangements.
Most singers are like gardeners going to war while Sohyang is like a warrior general in a garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙂👍👍👍💗💗💗💗...Sohyang is my queen of singers! She is simply a master of story-telling....and lives her emotion out.....you should definitely Reaction to more of dear Sohyang,......btw. Dimash is my king of singers!! !💗💗💗💗
There are so many great songs:
1) bridge over trouble water
2) Lean on me
3) you raise me up
4) Oh holy night
5) everyone
...and from her "Masked Singer" performances:
1) Dear Love
2) Mona Lisa
3) Breathe
4) Hug me
....some duets:
1) Sohyang & JK Kim Dongwuk - Childish Adult
2) Sohyang & JK Kim Dongwuk - For a thousand Days
Good list. I would also add, and high up, her taking on Whitney's "I Have Nothing" at the DMC Festival. Talk about making a song your own, and that's no small feat when it's someone like Whitney Houston who made the song famous.
FYI For a thousand days was with "The one" Not JK kim dong wuk.
i love how Sohyang can take someone as articulate and knowledgeable as you are about singing and put you (if only briefly) at a loss for words! beautiful performance; beautiful reaction!
Could you react to her 2021 version of Arirang Alone and tell us what differences you hear and maybe touch on changes in a singer as they age and grow more experienced? i think she is now 43 (though of course she doesnt look it)
Also would love to hear you react to Misty (the jazz classic), I Will Always Love You (Begin Again versions), Amazing Grace, and Oh Holy Night (I am not Christian but gospel singing is her origin and MAN does she blow that song out of the water!)
I really enjoyed this! Especially your comments on the piece itself; it's a traditional folk song and has thousands of versions. Sohyang's version is.. well, hers! Perfectly suiting her vocals and prowess. Also, if this is your first Sohyang performance, she kinda baits you in with that angelic, soprano voice and turns on you SO HARD and just goes full Sohyang on that song. Her "Lean on me" rendition truly shows her gospel background!
What a pleasant surprise to see your reaction video of Sohyang's Arirang Alone today! I have always enjoyed reactions to Sohyang's performance. This magical stage is particularly suitable for those with vocal and musical training, since they can detect the more subtle areas of excellence. It's probably not surprising for one to take note of Sohyang's beautiful voice and vocal excellence, I am especially fond of your observation on the composition and dynamics of the song itself. Sohyang rearranged the melody of the originally simple, narrative folk song into an epic saga. Also liked how you zeroes in the interpretation of the music, the message behind the sound, rather than just on the topics like the vocal placement or vocal registers. Sohyang's music has always been dedicated to the message, rather than demonstration of techniques. It's great to find appreciation. She have many fantastic performances online. I'd be curious on how you would react to her moving performance of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at czcams.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/video.html
Thanks for the So Hyang reax - it's fun for her fans to see a coach react to that crazy high mix for the first time. We all reacted to her pyrotechnics the same way initially, but what made most of us long term fans is the way her spirituality and innate kindness are at the core of every performance. You can't help coming away from watching and listening to her feeling better about the world. If you want to see her at her most pure I would suggest one of the fan cams of her doing Oh Holy Night, complete with singing the last verse and a half from her knees.
Thanks for your reaction❤, Sohyang's voice is no joke and i believe this song is not exactly easy to sing❤
The typical folk song arrangement is limited to under 2 octaves, so just about all South Koreans sing it. If you go to the longer KBS video for this performance, you can see kids singing it in a more traditional manner. However, the arrangement sung by Sohyang is epic and few singers in the world can do it well.
I watched this perf too many times, but every time i listen to that first high note i always let a tear out. It just hits u hard.
Yeah! Warm welcome to the Amazing world of SoHyang.... this is just the tip of her talents, there's so much more to her, she's one who does the arrangements of her performance (maybe with some help) Emotions, she's crazy, it's feels almost she's radiating emotions not sound waves, which will overwrite what we feel with what she wants us to feels, whether you can relate to it or not, makes you see and understand she's talking about.... as long as there's good meaning/message she's open to sing that song even if it's a Rap song or Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues, originally she's a Gospel singer... She's the perfect singer for me whatever she sing it always put a smile in my face...
Awesome reaction! I’ve been listening to her for YEARS! A bit of background: She’s a gospel singer (you were right about the “soul”), and she’s been through a lot with her breast cancer and the power of her vocals is INSANE! Her favorite performance of mine is “Bridge Over Troubled Water”!
She had uterine cancer that rendered her infertile
Amazing reaction! Sohyang is outstanding! Her technique, tone, and musicality are all through the roof! Dare I say she has some of the best belts and head voice in the history of contemporary music, she's a total legend. I recommend her amazing performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water next!
Welcome to the wonderful realm that is sohyang. Pls react to more of her stuff like Everyone, bridge over troubled water, you raise me up or other Korean pieces, they are STUNNING 💙
For me this girl right here and Dimash are the best voices right now.Wow so much talent you know this people are the truth talent that have to be recognize globally,I would love a duet of Dimash and this girl wow
Damn right they are !!! I just wish some of her fans stop bashing Dimash to make her look better like there is no reason for that at all .
I agree about the duet , it will make the history books for sure .
My favorite singer! You have to check out her performance of "I Have Nothing"!
I am so glad you reacted to Sohyang. She is one of the finest vocalists on the planet and so often overlooked. Please react to Bridge Over Troubled Water, You Raise Me Up and of course Lean on Me. You will not be disappointed.
Please react to Sohyang’s Bridge over Troubled Water and anything Mariah Carey! Love your videos!!
Completely agree with both statements😂😂
Abel Abraham yes!!!!
I would avoid any covers of Mimi by Sohyang cause it's not exactly perfect
@@liamcuerquis9631 I think the person meant mariah performances
Sohyang's "Bridge over troubled water" is the reactions that should follow. Please, give it a chance!! 👏🏻
Love your performance!! ❤️
You should also check out her singing Everyone on immortal songs and bridge over troubled water
Agreed. Bridge is great, and the first song I heard from her. But Everyone is her most complex. czcams.com/video/H5e7MPre7iY/video.html Some songs go bigger or higher, but that shows the most diversity in 7 minutes. Fantastic.
Thanks for reacting to So Hyang! I feel that she often gets overlooked when discussing the world's great vocalist, but she's up there with the best of them.
This song is about the struggles between North and South Korea and the hope that they will one day be reunited.
Other fan favorites include:
Bridge Over Troubled Water - czcams.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/video.html. The Simon & Garfunkel classic reinvented with a gospel flair.
You Raise Me Up - czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.html. Apparently, she was still recovering from pneumonia during this performance (unfortunately she suffers from chronic health issues) and was advised by doctors to stay in bed. Of course, she killed it anyway. One of the best versions of this song ever.
So hyang makes my heart beat in a certain way
Thank you finally you reacted to my angel so much love and respect, i would really love if you react to her singing Everyone or you raise me up
This song is one that is so significant to Koreans - it’s about the hopeful reunification of North and South Korea - it adds so much more to her amazing performancr
I love how she was trying to find the meaning of the song, analysing her vocals, and acknowledging the background vocals and instruments
I am not an any part of vocalist at all, but practicing to be like professional a lot. And every time I hear So-Hyang I notice that level isn't where I can go. Like that holding up the breath ability, bringing her voice to that high note without effort and coming back to low without throat hurt, the sense of her own rhythm and pitch control.
I love her singing for my life! I think I am even lucky to be able to understand her singing in her own language! Because not only her singing technique is impressive, how some of her songs give comfort is amazing. Her performance of singing "Hug me" and "home" is the one you gotta hear if you feel exhausted with your life.
Great analysis! As for the songs to listen to, people have got misty-eyed over her rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Everyone". Personally, I love her performance of "Hug Me" at the DMC Festival 2018 and all of her performances in Kings of the Masked Singer. Some would also recommend "Where Are You" since she hit a B in that song.
SOHYANG bought tears to my eyes. She was awesome. I heard her sing O Holy Night and she tore it up. Her range is unbelievable and soulful.. May God continue to Bless Her.
SoHyang isa masterful vocal technician. She KNOWS her voice, her instruments.
She also teaches vocals by the way.
About time for So Hyang!! She is a gospel singer after all. Bridge Over Troubled Water next
Arirang is the most famous traditional music in Korea. Everyone know this song. This song represents Korea.
Thanks for the reaction!!!!
QUEEN SO HYANG!!!!!!
React to So Hyang:
Bridge over troubled water
Lean on me
Everyone
Dream
I Have Nothing
Oh Holy Night
Fate
And more.
Thoroughly enjoy your insights and analyses. If you're a woman of faith, Nina, consider "Everyone"--which Sohyang (a deeply religious Christian woman) has said she tries to avoid singing, because it's one of two songs (besides the exquisite "Hug Me" [another "must" for you]) that she can't finish without crumbling, emotionally, and struggles to get through. Have a towel handy, to soak up the tears!
Especially when she goes acapella; The English subtitles made a huge impact on when when I understood what she was saying.
OMG YES! SoHyang is my Queen! she is so talented, please react to more of her performances :D
You have to do more of Sohyang!!! Bridge over trouble waters. And you raise me up are insaneeeeee
Queen Sohyang finally 👸🏻 „You raise me up“ next please!!
best reaction..more sohyang please
Hello Nina thank you so much for your amazing review of ArirangAlone. ArirangAlone is one of my most favourite songs ever the first time I heard ArirangAlone I nearly cried because it was the most beautiful and heartfelt song that I have ever heard and it touched me so much. I really highly recommend you review the song We Believe
by Sohyang it is one of the most sad and emotional songs that I have ever heard of but it is one of her most underrated songs . I love Sohyang so much she is such a beautiful person both on the outside and inside she is not only my most favourite female singer but she is also such an inspirational person to me because she has been through cancer and she has survived it
I like your reaction very much. Because you truly seems like you enjoy and liking the song. Which is feel very good.
I knew you would like her. She is regarded by many as the queen to dimash's king of vocals. Trust me, she was holding back in this performance. This is a traditional korean folk song but it has been given the sohyang treatment as far as the arrangement is concerned( sohyang does the arrangements for all her performances that you'll see on various tv shows). Interesting that you mentioned 'disney' as she is the voice of moana in the official dubbed korean version of the film( watch 'how far i'll go). She is known as the queen of mix & for her agility moving through the scales & her 'masterful' transitions. She's also regarded as the queen of Bb5.you will be impressed with everything you hear her sing,i'm sure,even if its not your thing & pls dont be put off a performance if its a korean song but there aren't any subtitles because she is the only person(sometimes dimash) who can reduce me to tears when I haven't got a clue what she's singing about, just on the emotion she portrays & dont shy away from her performances on 'king of masked singer' as they are some of her best vocal performances. Many peoples introduction to her was her performance of 'bridge over troubled water' on immortal songs 2 so I suggest maybe that next for you (she speaks excellent english so she doesn't have that asian accent when singing), then maybe 'lean on me' from the same show when michael bolton was the guest & he said her performance was 'spectacular' & that she took on the role of 'virtuoso'. Many people say she sounds like an instrument as she sings with such a clear,pure tone across her range. If you want to see how she fares in the world of the famous singers we all know & love then I suggest you check out her performance of WH's 'i have nothing' from the DMC festival. Could recommend stuff til the cows come home confident that you will enjoy it but i'm sure you'll have many recommendations from others. BTW she can sing any genre,as she did on a weekly basis on 'king of masked singer' where she sang ballads,pop,rock & in one song (day day) she can be heard rapping!! Welcome,at last!!, to the world of Sohyang
shes known for the queen of mixed vocals.
she does her own arrangements
Please react to so hyang’s “hug me” or “dear love” !! She is the best singer in the world and these songs showcase that!! She is quite literally THE best singer in the world!
Please react to Bridge over trouble water by So Hyang
Sohyang my favourite female singer, lover her. Thanks for the grea analysis
Welcome to the world of Sohyang. I call her the female Dimash.. However she does all her own arrangements , and trust me, she never does a cover like the original/ She is an amazing musician, not just singer. She is not about showing off her vocal range, even though she can sing a c#6 in mixed voice with amazing power and has runs for days. She is all about the story telling, and that is what I love about her. Every performance I have listened to has rocked me to my core. Listen to anything she does and you will be amazed. the songs Rodney Nelson suggested are all good, each showing a different facet of her amazing vocal skills, arrangements and musical taste. Unbelievable. Her personal story is also amazing. She is just a wonderful person, artist and all around musician
Nicely put Warren. But one thing So Hyang sang for many years before Dimash even started. So for respect it is Dimash is a male So Hyang. I believe you shouldn't compare them to begin with. Your analysis of So Hyang is very well stated.
You should react to her singing lean on, bridge over troubled water, and you raise me up!
Please react to sohyang Dream at the DCM festival.....you’ll be shoook
hello Nina, you have to react to "Everyone" buy so hyang.
sohyang - i have nothing
Bridge over troubled water from the same show is a good one to see. Oh and Pugsy has to be the name for the pillow :)
Thank you...i love sohyang..i love your reaction...
I hope you'll have a chance to see her in person and watch her performing songs like this. I'm sure you'll get mesmerized by her crystal clear and powerful voice as well as her vocal techniques.
Thank you so much!! This was absolutely amazing! You have a beautiful voice. I love how you analyzed and felt the music arrangement and not only the vocals. I think this performance is beautiful and gorgeous with all it's components. The vocals, the lyrics, the arrangement, the visuals, the choir, the instruments, the music, the message, the feeling, and the impact. Everything was absolutely amazing. This was one of the best reactions I've seen. Keep on being amazing!! :D
of all the songs I have heard her sing I think this one is most worthy of her talent,
one of your best videos Nina! loved to watch, thanks for it
How did I missed this two days ago? I'm glad you discovered one of the best singers on the planet!
I have never ever seen a better vocal than her. How come have I never heard nor seen her before??
Love how you articulated this. Amazing
I can tell that you feel music in your soul! Just wanted to say I enjoy watching you analyze other talented singers. I discovered her a few years ago and Sohyang is a gift. Keep up the great work!
소감 너무나 훌륭 합니다. 아리랑 ~ 소 향 ~ 입니다.
너의 눈과 귀, 그리고 심장의 반응에 진심을 느낀다. 그래서 나는 구독한다.
Yasss! Thanks for this. Morissette, Dimash, and Sohyang are my fave Asian vocalists. They're simply stunning, and utterly tragic that the whole world is sleeping on their talent.
Me too!! Hua Chenyu is an amazing artist as well.
youre so so lovely Nina! thank you for reacting to Sohyang
Her version of Oh Holy night is incredible I would highly recommend giving it a listen great reaction.
this is what i imagine a banshee sounds like. the first time i watched this video of hers, i could imagine ghosts/spirits coming out of the ground. this gave me one of the best goosebumps i've had.
Sohyang posted a NEW song dedicated to people suffering from the pandemic. Her version of "Amazing Grace" will change you. The simple fact of her singing "how sweet the sound," requires a thick towel to sop up your inevitable tears.
at this point, mariah and sohyang got the best reaction from this channel.
Oh really !!! You didn't see her Dimash reactions obviously.
LOVE YOUR REACTION ❤️ greetings from Indonesia💐
i’m so glad this is your first performance if hers you’re reacting too. sohyang is insanely talented and arirang is a really important song to koreans and she did such a good job of portraying the emotion the song conveys. also her range is craaaazy
Loved this reaction. So hyang is a goddess. would love to see a reaction to sohyang everyone.
Gorgeous reaction! You are very good Nina 🙏 !
Beautiful coach, Beautiful reaction
Thank you so much
just now discovered this musical masterpiece. amazing. great reaction and analysis as well.
love your reaction very much！you are one of my favorite vocal coaches on CZcams who reacted sohyang performance，I highly recommend her version of oh holy night（i am a singer 2 version)，you definitly will be amazed over and over again！looking forward to your another reaction of sohyang！
She's amazing ❤️
I absolutely LOVE watching you nerd out...please do more of her...she’s incredible
Known as one of Korea’s most impressive and technical singers, I love when western people discover her. She is soooo incredible. This is a traditional Korean song that she did the arrangement on for this special occasion. I could honestly listen to her sing anything. She never fails to surprise. I hope you react to more of her performances.
Awesome reaction. You're good at pointing out the good things
I've watched this performance so many times already and no matter how many times I watch it, she makes me cry.
Welcome to SoHyang’s world. If Dimash is the King, she’s the Queen. There are so many amazing performances to react, like:
1. Lean on me
