EXO main vocals are not just top tiers in KPop but also in the whole music industry. South Korea should promote these men more than the heavily autotuned artists. These people should represent Kpop globally.

[@ABIGAIListhis95]

Right.

[@KhadaJhin04]

My only solace is that EXO despite not being as popular as they should, which is frustrating, they're still iconic, and honestly that's better than trendy, because people still cover and sing and hold their songs from ten years ago to the same standard they did back then, and that's the kind of legacy any singer should want to leave.

[@vaneesavan2239]

South Korea didn't promoted any group darling!! Its because the people around the world likes the music and the message of particular group more than exo. That's why. It doesn't mean that a group with powerful vocal technique should be more successful and popular. It has so many other factor not just auto tune baby! Keep crying 😁

[@KhadaJhin04]

@@vaneesavan2239 you say it as if the general public can be trusted with anything, the majority of popular acts are dumbed and watered down for the average ear consumption, the public isn't a judge of quality, never has been, otherwise explain why Cardi B is famous, or why Charlie Puth songs go viral, or why Kolleen Hover books sell like hot cake, or why scammer influencers and health guru crooks have coveted spots in the mainstream, the message? What message honey, last time I checked Korean wasn't the lingua franca, the most famous kpop song is Gangnam style, and what a message that is right? One last thing, fame isn't flex, what's trendy five years ago fizzles like sea froth, it's about being iconic and respected, with a legacy that will outlive your career. EXO just wins the quality contest, and if you're so pressed about it you're coping, then maybe you're the one crying and malding. Note: Korea does promote groups, it's literally one of their ways of pulling tourist revenue.

Adam Lambert is (technically) the best singer I've ever seen live. His vocal versatility is unmatched! He is a classically trained vocalist and is known with an exceptional ability to control the entire vocal register who is just insane. Adam's textbook vocal mix, his powerful full voice, timbre and extension with a perfect register change and qualities high notes are remarkable. He combines the Head Voice to the Falsetto without any detachment. And more -I love his the story telling ability to make one feel raw emotion. That note G4 е твърде скромна за възможностите на Адам. His voice is fuller and richer in the high notes. Nobody can do riffs and overdrive like him. Significant High Notes: B5 ("Aftermath" cut vocal stem, "Things I Didn't Say") B♭5 ("Play That Funky Music" on American Idol) A5 ( "Crawl Thru Fire" live at the Zodiac Show) G♯5 ( "Time for Miracles") F5 ("We Are the Champions" various live performances Е5 ("The Show Must Go On" various live performances E♭5 ("Somebody to Love" various live performances D5 ( "Believe","I Was Born to Love You" various live performances, "If I Had You", "Lucy"...

One can generally reach a note if they try enough, but without proper technique (like the good ones in this video), the singers are gonna be regretting that choice sooner or later. It's far too easy to damage vocal chords or develop nodules and have to remove them surgically (which can greatly affect your capacity as a vocalist).

Hi !! First of all, I love that you included Lara Fabian, my favourite singer. On all your choices for the notes, the "bad" ones do sound indeed less good than the decent ones, who themselves sound less good than the great ones. But I don't really agree on all the "bad" examples. Some of them were painful to hear, but some were actually good (not great) in my opinion. I think it's because of the tone and sometimes distortion on some of them that you might say it's bad, but I believe it is a stylistic choice to sacrifice some technique for getting out a specific kind of sound.
