Thank you for your fantastic reaction to Forestella! There are some stories about this song Scarborough Fair..what I've read was this is a song from a ghost (soul) of a dead soldier. He asked the herbs growing on his dead body to deliver his message to his beloved girl in Scarborough Fair where was a big herb market. He asked the herbs to tell her impossible task "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without no seams nor needle work" to make her give up waiting for his coming back as he's already unable as he's dead. Forestella sang like as messengers of this sad and beautiful story. Also there are symbols those herbs significated: parsley for comfort or to remove bitterness, sage for strength, thyme for courage, rosemary for love. There's some speculation that these four herbs were used in a tonic of some sort to remove curses. What I first heard was to remove memories..so I thought he (the dead soldier) wanted to remove the memory about him from his girl to make her not mourning for him any more. BTW I found those herbs cannot be grown in same areas in fact while on my researching for English references.. so it could be just for remembering recipe for turkey seasoning ingredients, too. KBS Immortal Songs (I'll say IS) is a kind of remake rendition competition show for legendary musicians. Usually, someone living legend in Korean music is invited and 6~12 teams compete with a rendition of the songs related to the legend. But sometimes there are episodes inviting nobody and having specific themes. Now it's changed a little, the numbers of teams to 5~15. IS diversed the invited artists more like not only living legends but also popular young artists. Each episode has a winner by audiences votes. At each half of the year, there's a King of the Kings episode (I'll say KoK). At the KoK episode, the winners from each episode through the period compete with each other with any cover they choose. So in KoK, no legend is invited. Forestella began to be known to the world with their Bohemian Rhapsody and they have beautiful renditions of Heal the World, Scarborough Fair, We are the Champions, Smooth Criminal etc. in IS. Actually they are very strong competitors in this kind of music competition shows. They also had awesome performances in Phantom Singer All Stars (I'll say PSAS) in which JTBC invited all the Phantom Singer finalists groups and had competitions among crossover groups. Their Shape of you is a MUST-SEE performance. They sang it in 3 different languages- English, Spanish and isiZulu (one of the African languages) there. And their Time in a bottle, Je suis malade and Inner Universe in PSAS would be also stunning.
BTW I can't find my info text about Forestella here. So I paste here below. This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; an audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world! Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Hijo de la Luna, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed. You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! If you are a LOL fan, check their Warriors and Legends Never Die! And they broke the record of their own with EXO's MAMA winning 6 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs. Check their magnificent performances of Bad Romance and Lazenca Save us, Unwritten Legend and Despacito too. Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (ex-research chemist, rock vocalist with soprano head voice falsetto), Cho MinGyu (classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (musical actor, 159th King of the Masked Singers, emotion convincer good at R&B, Pop). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. They meet almost everyday to practice together. In a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. Bae DooHoon also said they don't meet 1~2 days in a month. I think this explains how their perfection can be possible. Don't miss their m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders. Each of them is representing an element in the m/v. They sang Fake Love of BTS and their song Save our lives at MAMA. Their new original song Utopia is a must check. Now I see they are creating a genre called Forestella. They showed "What crossover is" with Save our lives and showing "What Forestella does" with Utopia! Recently, they released their new original song, White Night.
Thanks for reacting to Forestella's rendition of one of my favourite old folk songs. I agree with you entirely about their voices and excellent arrangements. Other lovely songs are Je Suis Malade, Hijo De La Luna and Nella Fantasia. Time In A Bottle is also gorgeous, but had a kick to it. Less pretty/classical, but equally good songs are Sweet Dreams, Bad Romance and Despacito.
I am happy they used the Simon and Garfunkel version with "Canticle" as the countersong. Very few people know about "Canticle". Check out their version of "Nella Fantasia" ("Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission")
Thanks for reacting to ForestellaI I do not know if you have already done the reaction of these, I recommend you : Time in a bottle,Parlapiu Piano (OST The Godfather) The Sound of silence, White night ,Moonlight
the 1st fella sounds like bards of old like l can see him singin in sherwood forest the counter tenor be wicked good as is the bass the way the bass's voice has a hum to it
Brother next please react STILL LOVING YOU (scorpions) cover by Vanny Vabiola. Vanny has an angelic voice, very very beautiful smooth melodic sweet and clear voice, so powerful. Thanks so much
Hi, It's been a while since your last reaction to Hua Chenyu. There are no copyright issues with this video. Hua Chenyu is currently holding a tour to celebrate his ten-year debut anniversary. His stage design incorporates the latest technology, making him the first artist in the world to use this technology in a concert. The massive screen measures up to 28 meters in height, and during the day, it nearly blends into the sky, as if it has transformed into an invisible city. There are also features like 3D naked-eye technology, and I hope to have the chance to see your reactions to his concert. The opening song for this tour is "God Tree." czcams.com/video/OBjsOfvuSd4/video.html
Listen to their 《Time in a Bottle》. I recommend it. You will be immersed in memories.
Forestella !!!!!! 🤩💞💜❤🙀😻💯💯💯💋💋💋💋👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐
