a definitive, yet biased ranking of kpop vocalists

[@ajanugu]

just a clarification. its better to be in "can certainly hold a note" than it is to be in "that tone." like i said, it was initially reserved for people like chorong, kim lip, and joy ... just a tier for my personal faves, but they werent in here, so i just made it a tier for people who werent that bad. and i wasnt gonna re-edit the whole tierlist. yall mad!!

[@xavi_8824]

One thing about Yeri she's gonna eat up that pre chorus on "Look" love her on that song

[@ajanugu]

OH FOR SURE. anything else though? errr

[@mikkaill93]

I personally just love the fact that she can harmonize so easily with anyone. She has a great sense of pitch and musicality in general. Also a decent songwriter. Her singing technique, errnnmm. But everything else is very impressive

Yuju being the only GFRIEND member on here is like how she's the only you'll remember singing on their songs /j

[@killbethy]

I mean, she is the only one that can actually sing. As for the rest, I actually SinB and Umji can have their moments more than poor Eunha who always seems to be given parts where she is screaming like her life depends on it. And whoever thought signing Yerin as a solo artist needs to take a step back before they tank their agency. If Yuju can barely sell as a soloist with THAT VOICE (!!), then why on gods green earth would you think any of the other members would do better as a soloist. I really hope that once they have explored during their own things, they decide to get back together/join Viviz. Viviz biggest problem is that with the level of vocals and rapping they have, the songs they can perform are realllllly limited. They desperately need Yuju to shake things up vocally, Yerin to help anchor the group, and Sowon as their variety queen.

@TheLurkingDerm "if Yuju can barely sell as a soloist with THAT VOICE" that's right, the matter not depends on voice only, although Yerin's voice is pretty(yet she's not a great vocalist, yes) and her comeback was amazing. But yeah, making her a soloist is definitely a choice, maybe because she's a gfriend member and they thought like "why not?"

She has a very pretty tone, knows how to utilize it and is the most artistic and passionate with her singing, always trying to make everything even more catchy to the public. Not just because Liz is better with technique she is everyone's favourite. And same with Yujin, even I agree that her tone isn't anything that vibrant. If you want actual objective ranking then you ain't getting it here because it's literally in the title that it's biased. The person priotizes tone over singing and you can't change that. Go and make your own objective ranking if you can't take that. And honestly we should just drop these techniques bs because at the end of the day as long as they don't sound like a dying goat we really don't care. Maybe you do, but for me these just a little extra for people who are vocal enthusiasts but it shouldn't necessarily be taken into account and be made as that big of a deal. These vocal tiers are just another source of toxicity wherein people degrade other artists just because they can't " support ". And in some cases someone praising someone's vocal will always go down the annoying vocal tier way and make pointless arguments in the comments.

As a long time Once (not really anymore), I’m the same way about Jihyo. She can definitely sing but there’s something off about her voice like it’s too nasally (?) it just has this quality about it that puts me off

[@ahuman3064]

Jihyo has a naturally nasal, pretty tone, so she compensates for it rounding the back of her throat to sound more powerful and bring a different color to twice( since they mostly have sweet voices). It's good for reaching high notes that dont sound squeezed, but it does give that froggy impression in a lower register. Her image is very womanly, tho, so I get why she'd stray away from the girlier impression she'd give otherwise.
