Brutally Ranking EXO's Main Vocal Line

That’s what I thought too a few years ago, but many EXO-Ls recommended me to stan NCT. If I were you, I would start stanning them, a lot of them are actually great vocalists, not just any other vocalists but each of them have distinct tones just like how ChenBaekSoo.

Chen's lower register is to die for, too bad it isn't utilized in exo songs properly. It came to the point when people think that he can only sing high notes, when he's actually a king of low notes.

[@jacqt4432]

My bias is D.O but I have always appreciated Chen's strengths. I enjoy Chen's lower register but I also noticed that he doesn't get a chance to use it much. When singing together; •D.O & Chen - Chen does higher register •Baek & Chen- Both may use higher register but Chen will do the highest notes. He may be most likely able to use the lower register in his solos.

[@zariaevans2868]

I agree. Kyungsoo can be a vocal monster if he wanted to

[@t.thor45]

Agree. If kyungsoo wants developping his skills he could it easily because he is always effortless. He just prefers enjoying songs than making performances.

[@Ms_Ella]

I agree with you. I think D.O. he can pull the strings off if he wanted to. He is just so effortless every time he sing. I've watched multiple vocal reactors and most of them were so amazed with his voice.

[@M-de-Vale]

I strongly disagree with those that say D.O. second guesses himself. Watch any of the exoplanet concerts and specifically watch them perform the same song in different venues - he is actually the one who is most sure of his voice because during live performances he is constantly switching up his ad libs and runs. He is always giving us something new and different from studio version, something interesting to look forward to. An artist can only do that if they are confident in their ability and if they have great musicality. To those who say D.O. can “push more” or “ show off more,” it’s not because he is unsure, to me it is a deliberate choice. You can ruin the vibe of a song and make it sound crowded and unpleasant if you have too many crazy belting, adlibbing and riffing done on top of each other. They’re not contestants on a singing show - they are artists choosing to sing in a certain way to play pff of each other and to play off the vibe of the song and the performance as a whole. The fact that D.O. doesnt go crazy on every single line even though we know he can is a deliberate artistic choice. He can make even the “unexciting“ parts of the song sound absolutely beautiful and soft, the amount of control he has is insane. And even just a beautiful little adlib in any bridge section from him adds so much flavor to the whole song. You cant have three singers popping off all at the same time, thats not what makes a good song and they all understand that. You can see from the recently released Cream Soda Recording Behind the Scenes just how much power and volume D.O. has in comparison to everybody else, and just how full and beautiful he sings the Cream Soda line, much cleaner and fuller sounding than Chen and Baekhyun in my opinion. He was even casually humming Baek’s adlib part during the recording and it sounded so freaking agile and easy and natural compared to how Baek sang it. I love Baekhyun and Chen, too I hate when people say things like this about D.O. Just because he doesnt pop off on the vocals all the time does not mean he is unsure or lazy or doesnt try harder. It means this is how he thinks he will sound best for the song, that is his art.

[@zariaevans2868]

@@M-de-Vale as someone who is D.O biased, I get what you're saying, but I have noticed that in some of his recent solo performances, he doesn't seem as confident. Kyungsoo's voice is crazy agile and his belting is really good, but I feel like he holds back. That's just my opinion, it's not wrong and it isn't coming from a place of negativity. You can have a favorite and still critique them.

[@exordiums]

Right!!! I haven’t been a fan THAT long 😭 about 5 years now (wow I didn’t even know that long). Baekhyun is my ultimate bias in kpop and music in general no matter the language for the same reason. His emotions feel amazing to me, but in this video with the three of them, and the whole group in general, they’re amazing. If someone told me to pick my favorite I’d obviously say Baekhyun but if someone told me to pick the best vocalist I’d start sweating bullets (based on the fact that I can tell who can sing and who can’t not actual technique). The entire group has amazing singers. On the opposite end Chanyeol is another favorite of mine. Xiumin and Suho can sing very well, Kai has such a calming voice and so does sehun. They all sing so well. I love how this video doesn’t bash any of them and actually shows their strong suits and shows that they are very strong vocalists overall. I can’t tell techniques and correct vocab but I do get what he means with their voices and I love this video

I wish one day you make a video about the rest of EXO members. They all compliment each other so well and create layers in the vocal part as well as in the music. Suho and Xiumin played in musicals and their theatre vocals are so good. And the baritones of the group who are usually used in a combination with tenors add so much dimension and depth to the overall sound.

Baekhyun is my favourite. His solo works shows how versatile he is, cry for love is a masterpiece and everyone should listen to it once in their life.

[@awaywiththefaeries9464]

I’d also say listen to his OSTs, I’m a Jongdae bias but Baekhyun’s works are giving Chen a run for his money.

[@XSuLBcCyDKSe]

[@XSuLBcCyDKSe]

Love how all 3 of them are so well rounded & still have different strengths that they complement eo in the group so well. Atleast SM did one thing right for EXO. Putting such talents in one group is a great deed indeed. 😌 This came just in time before their comeback. So ready for the upcoming new EXO era.. 🥰

[@msfaelyon]

super interesting video, thank you!!! what i find most amazing about exo’s main vocal line is how well they complement each other. where one “lacks” another one excels and makes up for it. this gives them so much playground for their music!! we’re truly blessed to have all of them in one group!! love that you had so much fun making this video

[@SadiaIslamShouki]

That's the beauty of EXO. This is why I always suggest fans not to fight over their vocal abilities, because these guys complete each other.

[@madhuric6104]

Exo is one of my favorite groups since they are exceptional, and being a vocal powerhouse only adds to their allure.

[@ctd.o4111]

D.o my favourite all time kpop singer, never heard voice like him even kpop now at 5th gen..u can find other vocalist that can belt high notes like tomorrow but voice like d.o is one of a kind..his solo album really represents him,just use his voice no fancy production at all, really love him for that.. also d.o when singing live is 100% much much better from recording..

[@coldcitygirl]

idk he sounds a lot like Zayn Malik

[@dkswifey]

Same! He doesn’t need to belt high notes to catch your attention, his velvety smooth voice does it all. I noticed in his earlier days he was given high notes and killing lines most of the time like Baek and Jongdae but now seems like Kyungsoo prefers to sing in his most comfortable range and it’s still as good. So excited for DKS2!!

[@francoisdaureville323]

​​​​​​​@@dkswifeyEm D.O have actually one of the Best belting voices in kpop, arguably tied with chen in that regard specially in the 3rd generation, belting and high pitch isnt the same, most kpop singers in the 4th gen and 5th gen arent belting anything they are Just doing a high pitch noise that sounds like screeching, D.O can actually belt is Just that kpop fans actually think that a strained high pitch note its vocal excellence, for example jongho of ateez by many kpop fans is considered "vocal excellence" because of his extreme pushing of mixed strained notes in the 5th octave thats what i mean, he is good dont get me wrong and have potential, he has a very powerful voice, but technically now hes not that good really and D.O is way better than him

[@SkywalkerSnape]

Baekhyun omg 1st time I heard his voice I fell inlove with it. He's my ultimate bias plus his character sealed it for me. EXO are the most talented group in Kpop imo. They have no equal when it comes to talent, performances on stage.... Visual They are the true Kings of Kpop 👑❤️‍🔥👑🌎👑💪👑💞💫 Thank you for making this video. I don't think you'll find a better vocalist line. They are what pre-idols wish to be when they become idols. Amazing analogy ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@MITHA1987]

Baekhyun voice always be my fave... I love his voice since exo debut... And EXO have the best line vocals in kpop for me beside Suju kry❤

[@judycasley108]

KRY is excellent, but I still prefer EXO as a group. The members of KRY each have some amazing skills. I’ve seen rankings where they were considered the best. But over EXO? IDK. That’s a tough call.

[@MITHA1987]

@@judycasley108 yess me too But i love baekhyun and yesung voice Let me add jaehyun and heechan from nct Those four is my fave voice in K-Pop And yess i'm with you, I love EXO as a group more than other groups

[@francoisdaureville323]

​​@@judycasley108objectibly and skillwise exo is the 2nd Best trío of male vocalist Just behind Suju KRY in kpop history tho so yes exo is up there, theres no other male group with a trío in kpop as skilled technically like this 3 besides KRY not even shinee or tvxq but they are very near tho , you can look any vocal, objective análisis, chen is better than any vocalist in shinee or tvxq, and kyungsoo and baekhyun are very up there as well, Junsu and jonghyun are the Best vocalist of each of those groups,

[@for_lyn]

All of their voices are beautiful and impressive, but Baekhyun will always be my favourite; his voice is so sweet and makes my heart calm. Also, his discography is my fave 🥰 EXO Kings of Kpop!

[@melvarfampopazjr.487]

My personal fave is D.O's. Chen is undoubtedly the A-lister vocalist. Baek is the best performer. so happy how these three have their own strengths that compliment each other.

[@koolkid9836]

Just in time for their comeback tomorrow. Look it is near impossible to choose a favorite vocalist in EXO. So I'm going to take the safe option and say, depending on the song, any of them could be my favorite.

[@XSuLBcCyDKSe]

Same. Idk how you choose a bias when they're all so good.

[@btpandanleave8303]

Jongdae vocal is my all-time favorite. This guy literally can touch my soul by singing just one word of the song! And his voice always so powerful and made me feel full filled in some way. KimjongCHEN THE KPOP’S MAIN VOCAL

[@sheila6322]

[@averyatwell95]

The real holy Trinity of Kpop! They prove that you don't need to sacrifice good technique for stylistic singing. Technique & style can co-exist.

[@francoisdaureville323]

Chen and baekhyun barely use style tho they are very technical specially chen, baekhyun Just express emotion better but still technique. kyungsoo is the one that use style the most but nothing Major he is still extremely technical,

[@nymmechannel3446]

It's che chen for me. He drew me into EXO because of his phenomenal vocals although I love them all! ❤❤

[@nerissaklosen4959]

Baekhyun attracts me too of how he conveys emotions through song and his style, concept and technique. Thats why i love him so much.

[@exollence]

exo's main vocal line is so damn legendary, i'm thankful every single day that chenbaeksoo trio are in one group

[@Ms_Ella]

Kyungsoo's voice always stood out to me the most. I think that kind of voice rarely seen in kpop or in Korea itself. So amazing and it really calms your soul.

[@honestopinion8830]

[@hiatus6206]

8:50 I just want to clarify that Chen spoke in a program (2016) and a magazine (I don't remember) that he damaged his vocal cords and couldn't sing for a week, because each high note tasted like blood in his mouth. And he talked about how he was lenient in not taking care of his vocal chords, but how he couldn't take time off, because they had more than 10 concerts in 1 month. For about four years he can be heard singing a slightly harsh high note. but now he's fine and as a fan it was painful to hear that his precious voice was damaged by over exploitation

[@jfernget5242]

Man. I loved your video. What’s crazy is I think they just continue to improve. Like how is it possible to be more amazing than they already are/have been for 11 years?? EXO continues to be the standard. And these are only 3/9. Everyone in EXO continues to improve and this group is just a VOCAL MONSTER. So much love for them! Can’t wait for their CB tomorrow 😊

[@aeong_bread]

kyungsoo has been one of my fave kpop vocalists EASILY~!! baekyhun is very verstitle, xiumin and chen have such great voices to be educated only on a tv xshow.

[@ilona6107]

I'm deeply madly irreversibly undeniably fallen in love with Byun Baekhyun's voice since 2017. Every time I listen to him it feels like I'm in heaven.

[@denize2953]

It’s amazing these 3 amazing vocalists are in 1 group! And to think Exo was known for their dancing more than their vocals(in south korea) until last years lol I love how the ranking constantly changes and one’s weak area is completed by others which makes them amazing as a group! Even tho kyungsoo’s tone is my favorite, Baekhyun is one of my favorite vocalists in kpop because of the emotions (i’m not just talking about ballads, he can convey any emotions he wants) and he can easily adapt to any genre (and the way he still takes vocal lessons) Thank you for making this video, i love watching these kind of vocal related videos!! And make sure to tune in for Exo’s comeback tomorrow!

[@francoisdaureville323]

Did South koreans listened to songs like MAMA or what Is love?? In their literal debut? Literraly most exo songs have incredible vocal focus from the simple things like amazing belts to runs a lot of ad libs many ballads their B sides etc... In all their title tracks as well you can listen to vocals, except maybe in kokobop and power,

[@PrincessNana08]

Jongdae has been my most favorite male vocalist in kpop for almost 10 years now and he somehow still never fails to astound me. His range, his tone, his power. Undeniably the best among the best. Its just been heaven in the ears, stanning exo. I love that these three are all such capable vocalist but also very different from each other and strengthens the group in some part where they lack a bit too.

[@outroseok]

I love exo as a whole but chen's voice seriously makes a huge difference in their songs, there's a significant difference between DFTF album and their other albums for me bc chen wasn't in that era. his voice is absolutely incredible and my favorite in all of kpop both male and female. hearing his voice in the new album gives me so much joy, words can't describe how much I've missed hearing him in EXO songs.

[@resurgingflame]

Ofc it's gonna be different bcus he's one of the main vocal, he has the most lines to sing with the other two. Just like how it sounds different with Obsession album bcus Ksoo was not there.
