      Explaining things so that a layman can understand it is a talent by itself, and Jess certainly has it. I'm learning new things here myself, despite not being very talented or pre-educated in music.
      I also recommend The Charismatic Voice, the CZcams channel of Elizabeth Zharoff. Elizabeth is an opera singer turned vocal coach and also one of the better vocal analysts on CZcams.

      Very true, she said in an interview that she was hospitalized the night before and her doctor warned her not to speak much less perform on a live TV show for national broadcast. We must understand however that SoHyang is a woman of faith and the way she tells it, she was not going to pass up an opportunity to sing a worship song because Christ healed her from cancer and could also cure her pneumonia. SoHyang is so technically skilled that even her worst performance on a bad health month is still light-years ahead of the average pop-star's best night ever.

You MUST react to "Everyone", "Arirang Alone" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." She sings flawlessly, with pure tone and from her heart every time. Great job with your intuitive observations. My first experience with her was Arirrang and I think it may be my favorite of hers - you'll see why. I wish you the best with your channel and your career.

    She suffered from pneumonia when she sang this song. (Coughs, high fever, severe sputum)
    So she changed to falsetto because of pneumonia in the climax parts of her singing style, (instead of belting).
    Her pneumonia symptoms reached the most serious level when she prepared this song.
    So she thought it would be her last performance as a singer.
    And after the performance, she disappeared for a few years. I love your fantastic reaction. very thanks.♥♥♥

    I am so amazed by your analysis from the get-go, before Sohyang even sang a word. You have the most interesting discussion on vowels with your demo. Equally notable is your observation on the slow vibrato. Also your reference to Gregorian chant gave me a hearty laugh. I haven't heard that mentioned since the Humanities class in my HS senior year. Bravo.
    Also very astute observation on Sohyang's mix voice. She is known to have expert mastery over her mixed voice. What you characterized as a random thought to listen to her sing "unmiked" also turned out to be very relevant. Sohyang is a gospel singer who has been singing at churches for more than 20 years. It's said that her live singing carries more resonance than the recording equipment could actually capture. Nice touch on the enunciation of consonance. You clearly look for it when listening to other artists :-)
    Kudos on an very informed comment on Sohyang's flipping to HV towards the end.
    Enjoyed how you appreciate Sohyang's singing here while giving the technical breakdown when you found of interest.
    Hope to see you visit Sohyang again. She has many fantastic live stages available. I'd be curious on your take of her magical performance of "Arirang Alone" in her native tongue, Korean, @ czcams.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/video.html

    Most reactors react to Sohyang performances in Immortal Song 2. Those are awesome beyond words, no doubt. I hope you could react to her earlier songs such as As I Live, It's Only My World, O Holy Night and Fate.
    These songs were some of her songs she performed in her first foray into competitions in Korea. Her introduction into the secular world so to speak.

  • @peerah
    @peerah Před 3 lety +4

    One of the things I admire most about her is her musicianship. She is always heavily involved in arrangements of songs she has chosen to perform and has said multiple times that she truly enjoys the collaboration with musical directors and arrangers. She also has mentioned in interviews that she truly values rehearsal and can never get enough of it. Another thing I love about her performances is that she always sings with a tremendous amount of passion and storytelling always comes first. There is not a riff or a belt that is done just because she can execute them. There is no showing off. Everything that she does serves a purpose, either to tell a story or simply to worship God’s glory. Lots of singers riff all the way to the heavens and back just because they can. Not Sohyang. So glad to hear your analysis and am excited to hear what you think of her other performances.

  • @tom7471
    @tom7471 Před 2 lety +1

    So I just found Sohyang not long ago and think her to be one of the greatest singers I have ever heard. So I searched the opinions of some vocal experts and they all pretty much agree, she is about as good a singer as one can hope to become. There are so few that have the power, range, vocal control, and, the living out of the song on stage like Sohyang. You, Jess, are certainly one of the very best at showing us what is going on. Really incredible breakdowns. Much respect.

    ALSO: i'm anxiously awaiting anything else of shoshana bean's you may review (...make it rain, ace hotel, ah-hem...) ;)
    you've probably already gotten requests for it, but if not, budakhel x katrina velarde just released another gorgeous cover ("thank god i found you")... if you've yet to experience the amazingness that is them, maybe starting with their best known cover (of the epic song, "one sweet day"), wouldn't hurt first.

First time viewer here.... Thank you for very amazing analysis.. being able explain things where it's about the connection between the emotion and the technique to get to that emotion and how it changes according the situation, it's so amazing...!!! like giving away trade secrets of singers. SoHyang's every performance is a masterpieces, ever lasting fountain of musicality... she's very sensitive to things in life, and express them through her singing, emphasizing details so we are noticed of important things that we just ignores and show us great deal emotions ranging from depressing sadness to bright positive happiness. she simply makes you care about things more... SoHyang's one of best Artists in world yet very humble genuine person. you just got to know very amazing human on this Earth.

    She is a great Korean gospel singer. There are many K-pop stars in Korea, but there are many other great singers as well besides idol groups like BTS, Black Pink. Among them, there is a world class singer named Sohyang. She is considered one of the best vocalists in the world by many vocal coaches and singers all over the world. I hope you listen to her song once again. She was originally a gospel singer, not a popular singer. She has pure, humble and beautiful mind.
    She never sing a song for the fame and the money. She said that She always want to sing a song to heal and comfort wounded many peoples mentally, physically.
    I'm a Buddhist but truly love her beautiful soul and respect her sincere faith in God. She looks like an angel. She always touches my heart and makes me cry through her so emotional song. It's just amazing and breathtaking. I'll always love her forever.
    Please more react to Sohyang.
    Have a nice day.

She did a fantastic job but her mix from Eb up to B5 is usually less effort for her. React to her performances of Arirang Alone, Lean On Me, and Everyone. With Everyone you will get a sense of her usual stamina. With all you will see her charisma and ability to connect emotionally with her audience.

Here are some suggestions please react to her singing Whitney Houston's I have nothing you are going to bug out and I'm going to say it to you she sings it better than Whitney also there's a song if you want emotional to the max. from The Mask singer there's a song that you does called hug me. You can't see her because she's behind a mask but I bet you have never experienced someone's heart and soul with this kind of intensity looking at a mask it blew me away it still does to this day.

    I have been listening to So Hyang for a more than a year and I really enjoyed and appreciate your comments. They were very musically informative to me, a trumpet player. What an exceptional music education and experience you have. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

    This would make for an amazing duet with Sohyang and Josh Groban. 2 beautiful voices.

    This was a fantastic reaction and analysis! With regards to So Hyang's mix, you'll find as you listen to more of her performances that she actually has an incredible amount of control of her chest and head mix, and can basically go wherever she wants as she runs up and down her registers. Truly an incredible performer!
