ZEROBASEONE: The Vocal Kings Of 5th Generation?

[@MoaArmy61304]

ZEROBASEONE aren't nicknamed VOCALBASEONE for nothing. Ofc there's always room for improvement but all the members are solid vocalists and sound perfectly together, they complement each other very well. They all bring something unique and positive to this group, there's something good to say about each of them and their different abilities. That's why I love them very much musically and not just personally.

[@fishi7912]

zhang hao truly deserves all the praise he gets

[@cloudysunny6447]

Zhang Hao is a main vocalist and all-rounder. He is a genius at playing musical instruments such as violin, viola, cello and piano. No wonder he graduated from Fujian University majoring in musicology with a perfect score. Zhang Hao as the first and only 5th generation K-Pop Idol is worthy of being a role model.

[@whivvy]

as a vocalist, Hao’s technique is really inspiring!!! I think he’s got the best handle on that (he used to be a vocal teacher!)

[@KunoBaka0908]

After EXO I kinda fell out of love with kpop for a bit, didn''t really stan any groups and just became a casual listener until I discovered ZB1 through some random tiktok funny compilations, thought they are just another entertaining group until I discover their live stages and acoustic sections in their vlogs, I was SHOCKED that they're that good in singing but no one (except their fans) is talking about it (???) so thank you for making this video. It's unfortunate that they're not a permernant group but honestly I haven't seen this much vocal potential in a boy group for a while now, it's refreshing. Hao and Taerae really reminded me of Baekhyun and I hope they can flourish both in singing and in public regconition.

[@audrey.o.]

Zb1's fans mainly consist of their predebut fans (which does include me lol) so we are definitely always on the go to talk about zb1's vocals. It took me a couple months to fully realize how good zb1 actually is, and I honestly just can't help but praise their talent within every chance I get.

[@KunoBaka0908]

@@audrey.o. I feel like recently when it comes to vocal power, only girl groups get the recognitions and praises, which is kinda sad bc while i definitely agree that the newer girls are very talented but for boy groups, no one (that I saw) other than zerose is talking ab how vocally talented zb1 is. For a group that formed from a survival show that didn't train together for years, their skill sets blends so well with each others, especially when I saw how they can live harmonizing on the spot like thats crazyyyy. I haven't been this invested in a boy group for years, wish I've stanned them sooner tho but I'm enjoying my time while it lasts.

Hao is the one of the most impressive live vocalists to come from k-pop in a long time. His stability is insane, and I love his naturally lower tone. It’s a shame he doesn’t get to show it off much in ZB1’s music.

VOCALBASEONE APPRECIATION LETSGOOOOO And Taerae will always be the standard of main vocalists 🫶

[@JackieAnime]

I love Matthew's vocal colours and the texture he has and he is a very solid singer. But I do believe Matthew can sometimes be overlooked as a vocalist because his natural range tends to be lower and kpop tends to prefer higher rangers? My gut feeling is that the whole group have gotten more vocal practice/coaching in for their latest release because they have been performing more solidly than ever. In particular, Matthew had been singing in his higher range more confidently. But I have to say I usually enjoy the character of his voice so much that I don't tend to think about he can seem to sing in a more limited way. In fact, it would seem to me that he either is not confident in/don't have a lot of opportunity to demonstrate his falsetto. So hopefully we would get more of that in the future.

[@deborab.8971]

The last Matthew's brigde in Good so Bad was was one of most interest parts in their comeback

[@peerawichboonraeng3941]

I think Matthew and Wanna One’s Daehwi have similar positions in their group. Both are lead vocalists and lead dancers that can do a bit of rapping. Their vocal color and range also similar to each other, like, the range is not fully a tenor, more likely a baritone. And both are my bias😆 Oh, and I just noticed that both got 3rd place during the final lineup announcement (produce 101 ss2 and boys planet)😳😳

[@lau-xg1je]

such a good analysis!! to be honest, as someone who’s been with them since boys planet, it’s really nice to see people outside of the fandom acknowledging their insane potential for once… witnessing their vocal growth is something that makes me feel immensely proud of them already but the fact that they’re being compared to THEE nmixx has to be the biggest compliment i’ve ever heard!! last but not least, thank you for holding hao’s skills in such high regard 🫶🏻 he definitely deserves his flowers for being the best 5th gen vocalist so far!! this group is a rare gem nowadays so let’s hope more appreciation will come their way!!

이건 장하오지. 격렬한 댄스 소화하면서 라이브 가능. 고음-저음까지 음역대 넓고 안정적인 발성. ZhangHao는 처음엔 외모땜에 입덕해서 결국은 보컬실력과 의외로 멋진춤선에 빠져 헤어나올 수 없게 만든다는.

[@moonymunis]

VOCALBASEONE 🔥 One thing I love about them is that they were created thru a survival show. It's impressive how people were able to put individually impressive singers altogether. Also, re: Hao's lower register, the comment "sounds easy and comfortable with a solid, slightly classical placement to it," reminds me of that tweet saying that he gives off the energy of a musical theater kid who happened to dream of becoming an idol

[@santastic-0725]

Excuse me guys , may I recommend you to watch Zhang Hao’s live singing episode in Lee Mu Jin’s lip service . He sang live 3 songs 1. Taeyeon-rain 2. StayC - so bad 3.

[@mooninmycup6954]

[@ziggypo5594]

I’ve needed a male vocal group to Stan! As a male vocalist, it gets hard in the pop scene. And as much as I love groups like SKZ, ZB1 is everything I’ve wanted in a male Kpop group.

[@CalciForm-lk2fo]

Me too man, Boy groups have good vocalists, but they're usually never put huge emphasis on strong vocals. Zb1 is aways singing, and the majority of the members have vocals as their core ability, but the coolest thing is that they don't leave dancing or rap to be desired. Their are also incredible dancers, specially the vocalists like Gunwook, Hanbin, Matthew

Finally someone appreciates and sees the potential in Ricky. He can actually sing better than a lot of others. His voice is unique and I love it. Hao, Hanbin, Mathew and Ricky have beautiful voice and vocal IMO.

[@kunikuzushis]

yes I’ve always maintained that while he isn’t a top vocalist by any means in this group, I was never comfortable with him being placed with yujin and gyuvin though they’ve all improved so the gap could be closer now but I did get the feeling his analysis of jiwoong was limited to post-debut zb1 content. his tone is wonderful in their run run cover though and it’s the best he’s sounded imo.

[@MegaAnubisxD]

Fr! When you just focus on zb1 i get why he would be placed lower, but that's also bcs he rarely has time to shine. If only they would show his vocal ability more in zb1 songs then he would be placed much higher. It's why I love his pre-zb1 songs so much, you can really hear his vocals well and he has this unique sound.
