I grew up with Simon and Garfield . This was the last song I learned on the piano. It was also my wedding song. However this version is way better than the original. So Hyang projects more feeling in this song than anyone including the original.
I am 75 know the original they took to different paths here a ballad and gospel so one is sad which So hyang sang at the start but then turned it to up lifting feel a song of hope .So you can't compare the two they are different.
You won't find a better cover or version.. Until you listen to her other covers of course.. This was, is and will always be exceptional.. For me it made it more magical than ever .
I LOVE MOM!! LOVE her thoughtful analysis. Many artists, including Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley have covered this song. While the original is a classic, in my opinion, the PHENOMENAL So Hyang's version the best one. I totally understand and respect mom's opinion. The fact that you include her in your reactions, indicates she did a GREAT job raising a GREAT son. Always be good to your mother.
when I first heard this I was greatly impressed but a bit offended that she took the Simon version I so loved and made it so much better. How dare she hahaha. Now I love Sohyang and think she is the best singer ever. Sohyang's version of I Will Always Love You is more contained as your mom put it so well. Or have your mom check out Misty (the jazz classic) by Sohyang! (Begin Again 2020 version)
I read one reactor said that if he ever cuts a record, he hopes that Sohyang would never make a cover version of it. His reason - she will make him sound so amateurish!
I agree that Sohyang is so high in her emotion in this one that I cannot follow her. She leaves me behind, listening to her incredible runs and riffs, admoring her technical skill, but as an outsider.
It is _very_ nice to see a mother and son be able to experience So Hyang together! So Hyang was actually about 37 when she sang this song, and she is currently 43 (but 44 in Korean cultural terms). She is still absolutely gorgeous! Simon and Garfunkel started out in the 1950s under the stage names "Tom and Jerry"--the same as the two cats in the old cartoon!
@@linmonash1244 Those were _very_ different times. Do a Google search for them under that name and see what they looked like! It was "Move over Elvis, here we come!" Ha, ha!
I think this was the best reaction i've seen so far for this song. Sohyang's version is very powerful with her passion, love, faith..and i absolutely love it. However the overwhelming power of the S&G original can be matched by no one and honestly i think this version of sohyang is the best it can get as an interpretation.
Thank you mom. This is just the beginning. Just begining. She is always beyond our imagination. Even Rap, Rock and Jazz.. any genre... She's the queen. I love her so much. Thank you for the reaction video.👍
Loved, loved her analysis - very honest and observant. She's a pro vocal coach perhaps? very much on point. It helps to note that the performance was for a competition and (show-off of vocal abilities) would be in context. I also agree with the mom's opinion that it took some shine off the song itself, inner control and restraint says much about musicianship of an artist. I've been hooked on Sohyang's unique freaky talent this year and had come across a song she did which I adore- it was just her in a subdued environment with an icy chandelier in winter, and a piano & acoustic guitar. She kept it very low key, and vulnerable and honest, a side I've never seen of her until that video. The song was called "Stay" , I think she wrote it herself. There's a music video but I much preferred the live performance under the 'Begin Again Korea" TV series which has a completely different feel. Check it out and possibly the mom can look at it one day and provide feedback too =)

This was 2015 so she was about 37 here. She is 43 now in Western culture (44 in Asian culture) Your mum might like to know that Sohyang is a gospel singer and that this is also her own arrangement and that rearranging the song of choice was a part of this show. The original had a folk rock sound but Sohyang turned it into a gospel song. It's not meant to be a copy of the original but a fresh take on it. I think maybe your mum was hoping more for the original.

Thanks for introducing Sohyang's to your mom. She is a wonderful music lover. Completely understand her comment on the original spirit she resonated with. Clearly the original version gives her special feelings but she also was quite articulate about Sohyang's singing skill and interpretation of the song. For the right context, this stage is part of a singing contest and the arrangement of the song inevitably reflects the competitive nature of the performance. Great video. BTW, I also enjoy the original version from Simon and Garfunkel. However, this rendition speaks louder to my personal experience. The diversity in interpretation and adaption of music is what makes music the art we love.
I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s music. They are very talented. I also liked their Bridge Over Trouble Water. I always felt it was just easy listening but never heartfelt. As a result, I never actually fully paid much attention to its lyrics. But with Sohyang’s version, even though she sang a very soft easy listening version in the beginning, her much more powerful sound with the rest of the song demands attention and pay attention to what the song’s underlying message is and therefore I can feel the impact of the message much more than the Simon and Garfunkel version. I would say Simon’s version is for putting me to sleep while Sohyang’s version can move me to tears and definitely not something you would listen before going to bed.
Great reaction!! Please I wanna see your reaction more about Sohyang's performance.

I agree with mum. Sohyangs voice is phenomenal and stunningly beautiful - as is her master class level technique, but when she went off into gospel style and all those belting passages and vocal ornamentations she left me behind. The original still embedded in the heart. Please react - together - to Sohyangs wonderful performance of the traditional Korean Folk Song: Arirang Alone.
Loved your mom's reaction. Like many moms, she's opinionated, and she already knew the original plus I could tell she seemed to have some music background. She came in softening her approach to support her son, but I bet she wasn't just gonna be easily impressed, because hey, this was Simon and G. Even her expressions changed within the first 20 secs. Which makes her reaction that much more enjoyable to watch, and more precious. Great video.
As you know his mother knew the original one, she love that song. So she can compare it. We never heard the other one so we impressed easily without any comparison.
@@mimasam5528 You are 100% wrong. Not all but majority of reactors and also the comment section loves her version more than the orginal and that goes for me also. You obviously are not a fan of So Hyang and just talking jibberish.
@@robertmyers7383 No Robert, we have to allow for how other people feel about a song. Some will genuinely prefer the original. Not me. I am in awe of virtually everything So Hyang sings! I think she is the best in the world.
@@ToddSauve I am a huge fan of So Hyang also but I am brutally honest. If you are a fan of So Hyang you already know how this performance evokes alot of emotion. I guess I get surprised when I see people with stone cold face with no reaction. That's all I am trying to say.
you should listen to the original, and also check out Paul Simon, his album Graceland, after he became a solo artist separated from Art Garfunkel. Their song “sound of silence” you should listen to, in addition to Disturbed cover of it, which you may have heard. These are classics.
Firstly, truly thanks to you and your mom for listening Sohyang and feeling her soul and heart.. And hope you two to listen another songs like 'Oh Holy night', 'You raise me up'.. I do hope you two be healthy and happy~~ ~ Chris from South Korea
Queen Sohyang, greatest cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water". I've heard the original and it's a completely different style, but her version was much more inspirational.
I also listened to Simon & Garfunkel a lot when I was young. When I first watched this show, the feeling of the song was different because it’s arranged a lot. However, both original song and this song by Sohyang are good. It doesn't have much of an original feel, but it was a song that reminded me a lot of the past. We have to respect mom's opinion to acknowledge the differences and listen to old songs. I also occasionally listen to the original song (Bridge over troubled water), and I recommend it to young people these days. For reference, I've been a fan of Sohyang for 10 years.
I understand your mom's take on the song. The original style of the song was layed back and had personal connection. What you mom knows is the lyrics were so well written that it was amenable to many different styles and interpretations. I love both the original and Sohyang's version. When I need what each version supplies I listen to that one. I don't think your mom was ready for So-hyang's power and range. Fun watching her because she brings her honest reaction.
I ve watched lots of reaction videos for sohyang but this is the most honest opinion for sohyang's BOTW as your mother knows the original song. thank you!!! I love the original version and I used that for my wedding few years ago but I love to hear sohyang's version more in my playlist. (specially when I wanna feel more power and soul and female version of this song) different feelings different choices I guess just one thing that mind you tho, this stage is a competition that you have to give audience huge impression as much as you can, so you mom probably felt that sohyang little bit overcooked it. (my mom's generation also felt that same) for me however, this is the best cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water Ive ever heard in my life. anyway thank you again for the reaction.
As your mother seems to like singers that emphasize communicating emotions over belting, you could introduce her to Laura Fabian and Floor Jansen on Beste Zangers.
Sohyang’s has been a gospel singer for over 20 years. She sings to comfort people. The main reason why this particular rendition is so grandiose is because it’s was performed on a very popular survival/competition TV show for professional singers.
Wanda Król piękna piosenka wspaniały głos wielkie Brawa Gratulacje.za piękno pozdrawiam z Poland oraz Państwa którzy oglądamy razem pozdrawiam z Poland dziękuję ♥️🕊🍀🕊🌹🌹🌹🕊🌏
I understand that your mom said because I'm 65 and I know original song. I love your mom's honestly. So Hyang always make her own style. I hope your mom will reaction So Hyang Lean on me.
Mom would love So Hyang's cover of 'Misty' , which is brilliant. Well done! I am older than your mom and knew Simon and Garfunkel very well. I love the original and along with 'The Boxer', and 'The Sound of Silence', this song was my other favorite. But when you have a singer like So Hyang, I think it is almost a must to have her showcase her vocal control, range, perfect pitch, and powerful belting along with her arrangement of this song. The song, really, after 50 years, becomes a different song entirely, with So Hyang, which I personally love. But that is my opinion. She does the same with 'Lean On Me' (originally a Bill Withers song and then a Michael Bolton hit). She is such a vocal beast that I would not want her to be completely subdued either. Anyway, that is just my opinion...
I totally understand where she comes from. Though I'm a big fan of SoHyang, the original song moves the audience in a different way and may reach some people. Your mother is a great reactor. She should open up her own channel.
I agree that the original is the best and I don’t usually like remake versions but this one was awesome since you can feel her pain and sorrow knowing she had the cancer and still having to deal with health issues and she is very religious. Best wishes to Sohyang!
You two are gorgeous. Agree with mum, again, probably there's something about generation 😊. It would be interesting to see your mom's reaction to Simon and Gartfukle's "Sound of Silence" covers by Disturb or Pentatonix, they are both phenomenal and completely different.
Sohyang did a phenomal job. She is extremely talented. But Bridge Over Troubled Water was an important message confined in a song. And somewhere along the way, Sohyang forgot to deliver the message. Instead she gave a perfect performance of the song... I still get chills listening to the original by Simon & Garfunkel. Shout out to your mother. She's very wise...
There's no point re-singing the original version then I might as well listen to the original group, Simon and Garfunkel. This is a competition so one needs to re-interpret the song in another way to not come across as re-hashing a song which almost everyone would have heard. It would just mean you've perfected copying how the previous artiste has sung but no element of surprise.
The whole "point" of that particular Korean show is to do a cover and rearrange it to perform. It's a show that airs weekly and singers compete with their own versions/interpretation.
I grew up with Simon and Garfield . This was the last song I learned on the piano. It was also my wedding song. However this version is way better than the original. So Hyang projects more feeling in this song than anyone including the original.

but this is the most honest opinion for sohyang's BOTW
as your mother knows the original song.
thank you!!!
I love the original version and I used that for my wedding few years ago
but I love to hear sohyang's version more in my playlist. (specially when I wanna feel more power and soul and female version of this song)
different feelings different choices I guess
just one thing that mind you tho, this stage is a competition that you have to give audience huge impression as much as you can, so you mom probably felt that sohyang little bit overcooked it. (my mom's generation also felt that same)
for me however, this is the best cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water Ive ever heard in my life.
anyway thank you again for the reaction.

I understand that your mom said because I'm 65 and I know original song. I love your mom's honestly. So Hyang always make her own style. I hope your mom will reaction So Hyang Lean on me.

오마이갓 😲
Mom would love So Hyang's cover of 'Misty' , which is brilliant. Well done! I am older than your mom and knew Simon and Garfunkel very well. I love the original and along with 'The Boxer', and 'The Sound of Silence', this song was my other favorite. But when you have a singer like So Hyang, I think it is almost a must to have her showcase her vocal control, range, perfect pitch, and powerful belting along with her arrangement of this song. The song, really, after 50 years, becomes a different song entirely, with So Hyang, which I personally love. But that is my opinion. She does the same with 'Lean On Me' (originally a Bill Withers song and then a Michael Bolton hit). She is such a vocal beast that I would not want her to be completely subdued either. Anyway, that is just my opinion...
You should react to big mama dingo live with your mom, their all professor of music and singers with exceptional vocal skill. All over 40 years old.
I totally understand where she comes from. Though I'm a big fan of SoHyang, the original song moves the audience in a different way and may reach some people. Your mother is a great reactor. She should open up her own channel.
I like your mothers wondetful expressions.
mom's reaction is so good and I agreed. but Listen to it once or twice more. Then, your thoughts might change a bit.
If you listen to Whitney's 'I have nothing' by Sohyang, you will be very happy.
어 크리스마스 오!홀리나잇 도 들어보세요ㅎㅎ
I agree that the original is the best and I don’t usually like remake versions but this one was awesome since you can feel her pain and sorrow knowing she had the cancer and still having to deal with health issues and she is very religious. Best wishes to Sohyang!
슥삭슥삭슥삭슥삭슥삭… 짝! 기대가 됩니다!
Please react to *Kill this love* Dance Practice Video if you have time. 😊
You two are gorgeous. Agree with mum, again, probably there's something about generation 😊.
It would be interesting to see your mom's reaction to Simon and Gartfukle's "Sound of Silence" covers by Disturb or Pentatonix, they are both phenomenal and completely different.
OMG 😲 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sohyang did a phenomal job. She is extremely talented. But Bridge Over Troubled Water was an important message confined in a song. And somewhere along the way, Sohyang forgot to deliver the message. Instead she gave a perfect performance of the song... I still get chills listening to the original by Simon & Garfunkel.
Shout out to your mother.
She's very wise...
I believe your mom might like her other songs from Begin Again....Actually I am dying to hear her impressions of Sohyang from HUG ME more....
Wow!! When you got time react to Rosé's covers too please!! My favourite is "if it's you" but there are many more. Her voice is amazing :(
React to jisoo is secretly fluent in english next please!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for this.!!!
Your mom is the best reactor! Can you pursuance your mom to start a channel? I would definitely follow her!! ❤️
❤️💖❤️
😊😊
LOVE YOUR MOM TOO HAHAHA
Sorry mom your wrong. This blows the original version away and yes I am an old guy.
She is incredible. I keep think her sound is a cross between Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey
👍😇😇
PLSSSS I'M STILL WAITING FOR UR REACTION TO TREASURE(BLACKPINK'S LITTLE BROTHERS)
Sohyang is popular overseas, too
I'm Korean. I understand n agree with mom.. Many Korean ppl praise her technique n vocal. I know she is amazing but I often can't feel any emotions..
I Agree 100% at yours mom's point of view.
와우! ㅎㅎ😊
Simon & Garfunkel cover reaction with your mother please
Scarborough Fair and The Sound of Silence by Forestella
Please react to 'Everyone' by SoHyang with your mom, she knows music!!!!!
There's no point re-singing the original version then I might as well listen to the original group, Simon and Garfunkel. This is a competition so one needs to re-interpret the song in another way to not come across as re-hashing a song which almost everyone would have heard. It would just mean you've perfected copying how the previous artiste has sung but no element of surprise.
The whole "point" of that particular Korean show is to do a cover and rearrange it to perform. It's a show that airs weekly and singers compete with their own versions/interpretation.
어머님 이신가요 ㅎㅎ 반응이 재미있네요🙂
She has a point. Maybe she should try sohyang singing whitney song.
