[@martacastillo6272]

@@marklawrenceanzale1110 or maybe she's improving on her own because she has a solid base and is extremely passionate about singing🤷🏽‍♀️ There's idols who rely on their company's training, but Lily had training before entering JYP (her dad is a musician, and apparently he taught his daughters how to sing since they were little, I've seen clips of her sister singing on his instagram and she's great as well). If Lily has a good foundation of technique, knows how to look after her voice's health, and has objective self awareness for improvement, she'll keep going, no matter what the company is going for. I think that's why SM has their reputation of having good singers, they scout for trainees who have a good understanding of their own voice already.

​@@martacastillo6272you're right, one can improve by themselves with passion but just like I said, they have no time for that if the company doen't let them rest or give them enough time to train.

How can she improve if she can't even rest?? Passion won't anything if there is no free time.

She always mentions about not wanting to get injured as a performer, I want to think that she includes her voice as well.

[@martacastillo6272]

Some examples of Lily's improved riffs and runs are her most recent livestreams (Leisure with Lily #12 and her birthday livestream). I've noticed that she improved because she lightens her voice to achieve better precision and note separation, she used to drag the notes because of too much weight

[@milshaaddit6589]

If we only talk about voice tone then I really love Ningning's tone. Backed up with her technique, it's just so beautiful. The only 'problem' I found is just she's still unstable during live performances. I remember watching a very outstanding Next Level performance by Bada, and I could only imagine if Ningning could gain more confidence like her, it would be perfect. And for NMIXX, one thing that impressed me is how confident they are on stage. Like every member is just so good. They sing so loud with chest held high, and that's quite rare nowadays. They really don't need any backtracks. Too bad I'm still not quite comfortable with their songs, but I hope in the future I will.

I know Lily is the 1# place, but my fav voice is Haewon. cuz she always fits every song she sings, and she really knows how to play with her voice. I'm always surprised because her voice is actually deep, but when she sings, her voice keeps changing😂. Sometimes her voice can be sweet, powerful, deep, and her dance is even more surprising😂 because we are only shown Haewon singing without knowing that her dance is very good, powerful, and also fluid but sharp too. Lily is so good too, but haewon caught my attention so much. I love them❤

I wish Ningning would tap into that inner powerhouse we all know she has. She's got a phenomenal technique for belting, see savage for an ex, but never uses it anymore. I think SM has shifted to Winter as a second Main Vocalist either because of Ningnings airy mix for belting, or because they don't want to cause regression in their original Main Vocalist. If SM were to pass on the technique singers like Luna ahs to Winter and Ningning, they'd be unstoppable duo, they kinda already are.

The amount of time that both ningning and Giselle had issues with their mics being unnecessarily low despite pointing it out every single time is ridiculous. Outfits as well. Look at their promotions, Giselle is often forgotten and it’s not like they are a 9 member gg. Line distribution as well you tell me the main rapper barely gets rap parts and the one with the best technique is pushed aside for no reason? Knetz as well.

Again I’m not totally against her having that title since she does take on the main vocal responsibilities quite a lotta times but it lowers the sm standards even further.

Ning Ning on the other hand has a higher range and a more powerful voice but still maintains a certain softness and a certain surroundness. In a group where their style is very heavy (not to my liking) sometimes it is as if her voice was made of silk and it makes all the difference. In this comeback I REALLY liked how her voice sounded.

Agree, some vocals really makes my ear ring and sometimes if it doesn't it feels too loud(?) Even though it isn't really

[@PinkySoda]

When it comes to aespa I see a lot of talk about Winters voice online, and don’t get me wrong I love winters voice but I just love seeing people talk about Ningning’s voice. She’s the main vocalist for a reason after all. I think a lot of people online think a large range equals being a better vocalist but there’s so much more to singing than hitting high notes. It’s one thing if you can hit but how your singing is more important cause you don’t wanna strain your voice. Ningning has such a pretty voice she’s one of my all time favourite vocalists in K-pop lol.

[@Robalexe]

Ningning has a larger range though. Both in the lower and the upper registers, including whistle notes

[@PinkySoda]

@@Robalexe yeah that is true no one actually knows that though cause they never actually give ningning the high notes tho 💀

[@Robalexe]

@@PinkySoda They do give her high notes, not as many as Winter usually, but still. Watch the behind the scenes recordings of their songs, they're great.

[@guicrema]

Liz has my favorite tone of this list, and lilly is my favorite vocalist of this generation

[@nova.1075]

Finally someone recognizes Liz, she just has such an easy-to-hear voice color that just melts wo the ear.

[@mimi_imfat]

About the yeji part, i think jyp’s criticism of her vocals is true however it’s very ironic that he’s giving the criticism since he’s technically worse than her. He’s pointing out her vocal problems rightfully so, but isn’t actually showing her HOW to sing it better. So I understand the fan’s frustration even tho he isn’t wrong.

[@svanteernestam9406]

[@khodascope]

Ningning has a beautiful voice and is very smooth toned in a lot of ranges, but I think her shaky pitch issues would keep her from being better than other vocalists around where she’s placed

[@btsismyoxyjin2013]

True

[@amakaonly778]

Would you ever consider doing vocal tips, or advice video, I've been watching your videos and explain vocal technique and musicality so well so i'd love to see you do a segment helping inspiring vocalist get better. Maybe even use some vocalist you usually mention as examples of what someone should do

[@yushi0405]

Ningning lower register is seriously really sooo good and satisfying TT

[@xsmi4862]

and the way nmixx's rapper can still outsing main vocalists like wow CRAZY

[@edu.8552]

my bias in this list are haewon and liz, and im shocked to see Liz being talked about like that.

[@holyizhuo]

love the appreciation for ningning's lower register, truly the best! can't wait to see how she develops in the future 🫶

[@kira_legran]

Truly the best lower register of 4th gen has Monday from Weekly

[@maikendao]

this reminds me of when lily got discovered on kpop star a decade ago, and the judges said that she will be one of the best in her generation. Well, they got it right!

[@christellevillanueva5954]

Of the tens of vocal ranking videos I have seen, this is by far the list that I agree with the most

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

Love to see Liz so high on the list

[@scanspeak00]

No argument from me, Lily is a superstar vocalist, not just technically but also she sings with emotional connection which makes her super special.

[@fancyyou6480]

glad to see my girl liz on the top 5 of this generation, cause she's improving immensely nowadays. I agree her mixed is her strength, making her voice sounds so easy on the ear. hoping she explore more to her lower register, cause it sounds so beautiful in 'Nobody' and also her falsetto/head voice, like the glimpse of those clips sound heavenly I would love to hear her showing riff and runs more though, her honey voice would sound crazy good on rnb track.

[@karens8042]

I know lily had to be first! Her skills are impressive through and through. Honestly NMIXX’s vocals are just impressive in general. JYP needs to give them better songs asap.

[@tristan2111]

Nmixx is The Marvel of Kpop ... !!! Sullyoon, Haewon and Lily ... !!! Simply amazing ... !!!

[@moi4791]

NMIXX genuinely has really good and interesting vocalists. I just wish JYP would give them better music, so far I much prefer their covers over most of their own songs…

[@ThatOneJayBean]

Lovin all the purple kiss appreciation! It’s about time!

[@wildboo]

I don't think we'll see someone better than Lily in the next 10 years, at least. And the fact that she's constantly improving means she's definitely going to be a top vocalist in K-pop, not only in the 4th generation.

[@nicolasmagalhaeslussim2711]

She already is! Ppl have to Stop being biased towards other generations

[@Deletemyselfgirl]

Loved the video!! Would also love to see a part 2! Since there are many more vocalists out there! Personally id love to hear your view on Songsun from Tri.be, Ik her group isn’t as popular and talked about but I feel she’s honestly one of the best once out there, not to mention she trained for 9 years before debut! Listening to Tri.be’s music I always wait for her parts because it’s so elevating just, I definitely recommend just hearing her in their song “Would you run (original version)” always gives be goosebumps the bridge. Also other great vocal performance from her in live performances of “witch”, “stay together”, “Kiss”, or just their songs generally. I absolutely love her vocals on every song. Others that would maybe also be fun if a part 2!: Hwiseo (H1-key) also a great vocalist not talked enough about, Nana/Wooyeon/Minseo (Woo!ah!), Yuri (Izone), Chaehyun (Kep1er), Haseul/Chuu/Heejin/KimLip/Jinsoul/Choerry (Loona) yes that many of them could deserve to be on😅, Miyeon/Minnie (Gidle), Yunjin (Lesserafim), Belle (Kiss of life) idk if people say 5th Gen is now but my god, if you have not checked Belle out ur missing out!! She’s so so good!!, Bora/Haeyoon (Cherry bullet) once again if you have not heard bora… my god ur missing out! She’s amazing it’s crazy, Suyun (Rocket punch), Haram (Billlie). But that’s just a few suggestions on the top of my heard! Ofc it’s just an idea I understand how much would go into a video like this but just if a part 2 happened I’d love to see any of them on there! Especially Songsun, Hwiseo, Belle, Bora & Suyun! Anyways again! Love the vid and the channel! Keep it up :)

[@ochocabu]

I hope JYP won't destroy Lily's voice. I'm more of an aespa and itzy fan, but I agree that the vocal top spot really belongs to Lily, no questions asked.

[@Slayoon]

I’m happy to see Sullyoon at #4. Sullyoon is such a great and promising vocalist. NMIXX are undeniably the best vocal group of the 4th gen 🩵

That’s so 90s vocal diva! Especially the repeated flip from chest to head and back to chest on “Like a love song on the radio”!! It sounds like she can do just about anything she wants with her voice 😍😍

Just realised that 3 out of the top 4 are from Nmixx. Not bad, not bad at all from a group that not many of us love compared to other 4th Gen groups like NJ, LS, Aespa, IVE etc. Stan talent, stan Nmixx!

[@danaestradford9083]

I still stand on this that Nmixx, Aespa and Purple Kiss are the top 3 best groups vocally of 4th gen period!! To me as overall groups they all deliver vocally. Also if you do a part 2 you should put Chaein from Purple Kiss and I’m not sure if Kiss of Life is considered 4th or 5th gen but if they are then you should do Belle and Haunsel from Kiss of Life or just do a video on Belle 😂💯

I think the 3rd this gen would probably be Billlie. If Fifty Fifty did not disband, they'd almost equal to æspa, just slightly weaker
