[@botdetector7959]

i know it's kind of a weird dynamic for me, a random person, to give my approval to you, clearly an expert, but i guess that's how youtube works lol. you are definitely one of the best, if not the best vocal analyst on youtube right now. i look forward to your videos more than anyone else's. most channels, i only watch if i like the performer, but for you i will watch no matter what. i hope you enjoy doing this enough to keep going for a long time. :)

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Wow, that to me, is the type of audience I strive to reach. I really value your kind words and honestly, I feel so lucky to have an encounter with you. You seem very genuine and I appreciate that more than you know. And I am humbled by your opinion/approval. Thank you!

[@botdetector7959]

@@jessicasopranonotes i wasn't expecting such a heartfelt response, but i appreciate it. i hope i made your day brighter. :) i came back to just give a small tip that occurred to me -- if you decide to react to sohyang (which you pronounced more or less correctly, by the way) singing 'everyone', and if you don't speak korean, i recommend using this version from vimeo, which has english subtitles: vimeo.com/249195615 cheers, looking forward to the next one, whatever it may be :)

Explaining things so that a layman can understand it is a talent by itself, and Jess certainly has it. I'm learning new things here myself, despite not being very talented or pre-educated in music. I also recommend The Charismatic Voice, the KZbin channel of Elizabeth Zharoff. Elizabeth is an opera singer turned vocal coach and also one of the better vocal analysts on KZbin.

i still can’t believe how amazing she sounded while being so sick

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Same!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Please keep in mind that she had pneumonia when she did this epic performance. I’ve had pneumonia, and I can tell you that I have no idea how she was able to stand up for long, let alone give one of the performances of her life. The doctors told her she shouldn’t sing, and she still did.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Oh wow. I've had pneumonia 4 times (once I had double pneumonia) and let me tell you, just getting the energy to talk is extremely difficult. Crazy.

[@ignatiuschua5268]

Yes, even talking is difficult. Even breathing is difficult.

[@SquidProQuo80]

Very true, she said in an interview that she was hospitalized the night before and her doctor warned her not to speak much less perform on a live TV show for national broadcast. We must understand however that SoHyang is a woman of faith and the way she tells it, she was not going to pass up an opportunity to sing a worship song because Christ healed her from cancer and could also cure her pneumonia. SoHyang is so technically skilled that even her worst performance on a bad health month is still light-years ahead of the average pop-star's best night ever.

As a fellow classically trained vocalist and reactor, I really appreciated your reaction. So Hyang is one of my favorite female voices on the planet. You MUST react to "Everyone", "Arirang Alone" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." She sings flawlessly, with pure tone and from her heart every time. Great job with your intuitive observations. My first experience with her was Arirrang and I think it may be my favorite of hers - you'll see why. I wish you the best with your channel and your career.

She is one of the greatest vocalist in the world.But She wasn't known as well as popular because She sing for GOD and Comfort people who has hardtime Not for fame or money. ..In her youth, she turned down all offers from mega agencies for her beliefs...and now she is 43years old. .She has so many legendary live performances . She always sings with sincerity whenever and wherever. So it comforts those who listen to her song...That's why I love her...And her singing skills are the best, not to mention...

amazing super singer,Sohyang~~~! ♥

[@jinaqkrtjdrb32]

♥♥♥ Thank you for good reaction. She suffered from pneumonia when she sang this song. (Coughs, high fever, severe sputum) So she changed to falsetto because of pneumonia in the climax parts of her singing style, (instead of belting). Her pneumonia symptoms reached the most serious level when she prepared this song. So she thought it would be her last performance as a singer. And after the performance, she disappeared for a few years. I love your fantastic reaction. very thanks.♥♥♥

[@kbar5821]

OK, got all the way through and WOWOWOWOW this was incredible analysis. I am pretty sure I've seen every vocal coach reaction to this performance and this was truly next level. I'm not a singer myself but have become very interested in vocal pedagogy and for every one of your insights a lightbulb definitely went off as something I had felt but couldn't come close to explaining. The other thing I will point out is that the both the places you stopped and the concepts you explained were completely unique, many of the analyses we are used to are pretty much the same "wow, she has an incredibly well balanced mixed voice" or "she manages her transitions masterfully" but your observations were constructed like you had already seen those other analyses and just focused on the new stuff! I really hope you explore her catalog further, especially some of her recent performances which are a little more restrained but no less masterful than this one. Bravo and subscribed! Oh and here's a great clip of her rehearsing unamplified, she is definitely known as the Queen of Resonance for good reason! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2OXfYmtaZKIqdE

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Ahhh! You have no idea how excited I got reading your comment. I just love when people can understand the terminology and have it click in a way it didn't before. Thank you for saying that, it means so much. And thanks for the link! Will watch it now 🤗

[@kbar5821]

@@jessicasopranonotes Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention. You caught the clarity of her tone in the opening verse even with all the air she was applying!!! That to me is one of her superpowers, she is crystal clear no matter the register or dynamic from pianissimo to fortissimo, so much so that when you compare her to others singing the same song even very good singers sound like they are singing through a wet blanket. I just knew from that comment that the rest was going to be gold. Also you aren't going to believe where the top end of her mixed voice range is lol.

[@Jonvocals]

You are phenomenal. I LOVE that you appreciate every single detail and not just the high notes, unlike most of the people that have reacted to her in the past. And also how much knowledge you share with us every time you pause to speak. Thank you for that. I just subscribed.

[@AmirHigher]

What a treat for the ears and brain!

[@yukuolee3740]

I am so amazed by your analysis from the get-go, before Sohyang even sang a word. You have the most interesting discussion on vowels with your demo. Equally notable is your observation on the slow vibrato. Also your reference to Gregorian chant gave me a hearty laugh. I haven't heard that mentioned since the Humanities class in my HS senior year. Bravo. Also very astute observation on Sohyang's mix voice. She is known to have expert mastery over her mixed voice. What you characterized as a random thought to listen to her sing "unmiked" also turned out to be very relevant. Sohyang is a gospel singer who has been singing at churches for more than 20 years. It's said that her live singing carries more resonance than the recording equipment could actually capture. Nice touch on the enunciation of consonance. You clearly look for it when listening to other artists :-) Kudos on an very informed comment on Sohyang's flipping to HV towards the end. Enjoyed how you appreciate Sohyang's singing here while giving the technical breakdown when you found of interest. Hope to see you visit Sohyang again. She has many fantastic live stages available. I'd be curious on your take of her magical performance of "Arirang Alone" in her native tongue, Korean, @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfcn5eBbruCec0 Thank you for an informative and entertaining reaction.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

[@peerah]

One of the things I admire most about her is her musicianship. She is always heavily involved in arrangements of songs she has chosen to perform and has said multiple times that she truly enjoys the collaboration with musical directors and arrangers. She also has mentioned in interviews that she truly values rehearsal and can never get enough of it. Another thing I love about her performances is that she always sings with a tremendous amount of passion and storytelling always comes first. There is not a riff or a belt that is done just because she can execute them. There is no showing off. Everything that she does serves a purpose, either to tell a story or simply to worship God’s glory. Lots of singers riff all the way to the heavens and back just because they can. Not Sohyang. So glad to hear your analysis and am excited to hear what you think of her other performances.

[@henrydenner5448]

At 15:02 you comment on that A5 head voice note that feels out of place amongst all those fantastic mixed notes surrounding it. And I completely agree with you. I would have preferred it to be in mix as well, especially given the fact that we know she CAN hit it easily, since she can very easily sustain a powerful mixed Bb5, even in demanding sections - case in point the Bb5 she nails in that difficult riff section in the middle of her Everyone performance. And the thing is, I think So Hyang's INTENTION was to mix it as well. Unfortunately she was on doctor's orders to not sing AT ALL that night, as she was very sick at the time, what to say about going on and on and on in sustained super high mixed notes. But she soldiered ahead. So we lost out on an opportunity to be treated to what would would have been an amazing mixed A5, but I think it was a one note trade off for vocal and physical health. And you are right in your commentary as well. It was a smart choice either way due to how demanding that whole section is. ❤

[@MariosPOS]

INSTANT subscribe. I critique analysts I find online harshly and am generally not easily impressed by their ear or knowledge because I consider myself to be on an applaudable level in both of those departments as well.

Can you stop doing this. Filling up the comments section with recommendations.😡

[@sunflower-pt6oy]

@@georgeprime2249 Why is it uncomfortable to describe a new singer, guide and recommend songs??

[@crhu319]

Thanks! Gotta love superfans!!

[@madavision]

Amazing react. Appreciate all your comments.

[@tom7471]

So I just found Sohyang not long ago and think her to be one of the greatest singers I have ever heard. So I searched the opinions of some vocal experts and they all pretty much agree, she is about as good a singer as one can hope to become. There are so few that have the power, range, vocal control, and, the living out of the song on stage like Sohyang. You, Jess, are certainly one of the very best at showing us what is going on. Really incredible breakdowns. Much respect.

[@RonnyWilhelmsen1001]

I didn't expect a Norwegian song be so loved over there.

[@Rodzilla5332]

You MUST MUST MUST listen to her song Everyone. Please do a reaction.

[@kkasu4212]

Wow! Great reaction! Check out next: "Bridge over Troubled Water" "Lean on Me" "Arirang Alone" & save the best for last, her masterpiece " Everyone"(a MUST with english lyrics-vimeo version) .. I'm sure you'll be greeted by her wonderful SoHyang army of worldwide fans & followers that will also fill you in on on what a humble, loving, caring person she is together with her awesome vocal instrument. She sings to comfort and with so much feeling, it really soothes the soul to make & start our day to go forward! Can't wait for your next reactions of the Queen, Goddess, Angel SoHyang! Stay Safe & Healthy during these stressful times! Lov ya!

[@joem9987]

Loved this reaction!!! If you want to see SoHyang take you to church and mix all over the place up to a Bb5 check out "everyone". She is a gospel singer by trade and you will see it in full display during that performance. Wonderful reaction, look forward to the next one.

[@stupidsminkle]

I love Arirang Alone, I have watched it over and over 🥰😍 I got emotional too lol

[@포이-f7x]

[@khanhlinhnguyen6117]

I feel like this is a master class on vocal analysis, not a reaction 😍 Such amazing and in depth analysis, I love your content!

[@ccmil555]

Pronounced perfectly! Just subbed

[@dulanjala]

Warm Welcome to the Amazing world of SoHyang...!!! this is like about 30% of her, she was very sick that day (some notes were fairly shorter than what she does normally) she still sang that day since she promise to sing for that show... First time viewer here.... Thank you for very amazing analysis.. being able explain things where it's about the connection between the emotion and the technique to get to that emotion and how it changes according the situation, it's so amazing...!!! like giving away trade secrets of singers. SoHyang's every performance is a masterpieces, ever lasting fountain of musicality... she's very sensitive to things in life, and express them through her singing, emphasizing details so we are noticed of important things that we just ignores and show us great deal emotions ranging from depressing sadness to bright positive happiness. she simply makes you care about things more... SoHyang's one of best Artists in world yet very humble genuine person. you just got to know very amazing human on this Earth.

[@squeezy3270]

I’ve been watching and enjoying your reactions for a while. Welcome to the Sohyang journey. Probably redundant suggestions but her versions of Bridge Over Troubled Water, Lean on Me, and I Have Nothing are all jaw dropping.

[@Kiki-ob3eh]

Sohyang is just a magical singer, a magical artist and a magical expert in music, i will recommend you another songs from her like : Everyone Please from beginagain As i live Fate Love poem Only my heart knows Where are you Hug me Dear love Mona Lisa Home Misty from begin again I have nothing a cover of whitney Bridge over trouble water Dream I will go to you like the first snow In the flower garden All of these are excepcionals songs that the queen sohyang sing, all of these are worthy to react.

[@ccmil555]

Since you are a opera singer. You wanna check out the song called Everyone by SoHyang. Im sure u would love it

[@gentleman4491]

Thank you so much for great analysis and reaction. Absolutely I agree with you. She is just amazing. She is a great Korean gospel singer. There are many K-pop stars in Korea, but there are many other great singers as well besides idol groups like BTS, Black Pink. Among them, there is a world class singer named Sohyang. She is considered one of the best vocalists in the world by many vocal coaches and singers all over the world. I hope you listen to her song once again. She was originally a gospel singer, not a popular singer. She has pure, humble and beautiful mind. She never sing a song for the fame and the money. She said that She always want to sing a song to heal and comfort wounded many peoples mentally, physically. I'm a Buddhist but truly love her beautiful soul and respect her sincere faith in God. She looks like an angel. She always touches my heart and makes me cry through her so emotional song. It's just amazing and breathtaking. I'll always love her forever. Please more react to Sohyang. Have a nice day. ○ Everyone(Korean/English) Sohyang said that the seven-minute song was the most difficult performance in her life. With all her might, she delivered the message of consolation, hope and courage that she wanted to convey in a touching way. vimeo.com/153713104?ref=em-share ○ The day sunshine kissed me(Korean/English) This song was written and composed by herself and has her own story. In her interview, She had said that lyrics of the song is about when Jesus came to her life. It happened in the summer when she was 18 years old. It's just so pure and beautiful. vimeo.com/313961151 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6K5qmWiorOjd5Y ○ Arirang alone(Korean/English) vimeo.com/308253527 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfcn5eBbruCec0 ○ I have nothing vimeo.com/312040132 ○ I'll always love you kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoCbZWh7prpmm6c ○ Oh holy night vimeo.com/312232909 ○ The power of love kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOxnImIp7Bqlas ○ You raise me up vimeo.com/269852003?ref=em-v-share kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYDOhKN8oslmrKc ○ Lean on me vimeo.com/235282952 ○ Never enough kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWa6onp_hc-kqsU ○ I'll be there kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJy1fYh-haqYeJY ○ My heart will go on kzbin.info/www/bejne/gperqHZ5gJtnjdE ○ I won't give up kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaeYYmBofJp3i9U ○ Misty kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3m7lqyAib1nqdE ○ If I ain't got you kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX_VfmWIf55mgKc ○ You are the reason kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_Mh5KoasuXo5I ○ Stuck with you kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmTPdZtneat7oaek ○ Day day(Korean/English) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX_VfmWIf55mgKc vimeo.com/300262234 ○ l'll go to you like first snow(Korean) kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLQn3ejqKiirKs ○ please(Korean) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iavdnnqDeL2LZqs ○ Hug me(Korean/English) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpSxY4Fmj5KGZ5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnuaq5Vjns2arMU ○ Dream(Korean/English) vimeo.com/312061203 ○ In the Flower Garden(Korean/English) vimeo.com/312895184 kzbin.info/www/bejne/omncl6lojd57oNE ○ Bridge over troubled water vimeo.com/308504033 ○ Where are you(Korean/English) vimeo.com/316342997 ○ I always miss you(jazz, Korean/English) vimeo.com/318357160 ○ Home(Korean/English) vimeo.com/299213995 ○ Do you know(Korean/English) vimeo.com/295168199 ○ Running in the sky(Korean/English) vimeo.com/315166546 vimeo.com/277908271 ○ Breathe(Korean/English) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnuaq5Vjns2arMU vimeo.com/298563165 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4uUYXynbKl0aJY ○ Dear love(Korean/English) vimeo.com/294589758 ○ Beauty And The Beast(duet, Korean/English) vimeo.com/315595780 ○ For thousand days(duet) vimeo.com/319429223 ○ Mona lisa(rock, Korean/English) vimeo.com/297885714 ○ It's only my world(hard rock, Korean/English) vimeo.com/277384984 ○ Amazing grace kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2iyiYypZq9rppY ○ Upon this rock kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4DCaXigo71gZ9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4OUgKZ4fKxmgaOp ○ US national anthem kzbin.info/www/bejne/baipZpuQj55kaZY
