DAY6: Vocal Ranking

[@doodleydooo945]

This ranking does not surprise me! After all, it is known by fans that jyp's vocal coaches had little to nothing to teach to sungjin, as he was always that good.

[@phoebeyuu4525]

And the more amazing thing about him is that in the most recent interview he said that he did not naturally has raspy voice, he just sing that way because they're a rock band so he tried to adjust his voice like, dang maan.

[@phoebeyuu4525]

@@MD-rp6jd it's from a magazine interview in Korea released around the day of The Demon comeback. When he was asked about the formation of the band, he mentioned in passing that he didn't naturally have raspy voice, but tried to sing that way because they're rock band and now sing like that is like a reflex for him. I'll try to dig up the translation and put it here if I could find it.

[@notmiruku29anymore]

@@phoebeyuu4525 oooooh... His rasp sounds so natural tho and I also heard a subtle rasp with his predebut clips. I believe he has it naturally just probably never used it or practiced it since he was more into ballads. If it wasn't natural, it could damage his throat? Anyways, so glad that he's able to practice it and use it now. I really love it. It's 80% the reason he's my bias.

[@starrygrimes500]

after young k and jae's cover of "she's gone" young k became one of my favourite vocalists in kpop ... maybe ever... please watch it and tell me what u think lmao

[@starrygrimes500]

they weren’t being serious in the cover but like you can still tell how insanely good jae & young k are

[@SkyeMueller]

I love em can't decide who's gonna be my bias

[@vivanesca]

I'm floored by that cover every time but also, as a crazy stan, Sungjin's ONE attempt at "LAAADYYYYYY" is what makes me collapse haha

[@madisonlane5169]

i love that cover so much it’s impressive but also hilarious because it’s just so chaotic

[@chubsgcf]

exactly! even tho they were fooling around it became my favorite cover from them

[@elnat7700]

The fact that even Day6 say there are five vocalists in the group makes my hear melt. Dowoon is improving SO much, all of us are really proud of him

[@gemmafeltovich6130]

it's weird but sungjin is underappreciated in the group; i never hear people talking about his vocals, and i think it's because he's so consistent that he can't surprise us haha

[@elijahpham8048]

Nope the thing get me stuck with day6 is sungjin and jae in How can i say. Now i dont know my bias in day6 since they are all my favourite voices

[@quyenoan5320]

So it has been confirmed: Sungjin is both the vocal and dance king of JYP XD

[@vivanesca]

the biggest struggle as a Sungjin stan is that he sounds so much better live no microphone can capture it, very sad

[@Nina-df3zq]

This made me want to get into Day6, actually never listened to them but holy their voices sound so good! edit: their new album blew me away!

[@ЕленаР-ь5б]

They are truly amazing, I recommend

[@leslieramirez1047]

Nina Live is so crazy 😍

[@drumbumJulie]

one of the things that totally blew me away about them is how they're even better live. you'll never regret stanning the band that has no bad songs.

[@ShayanneNicholas]

DO IT.

[@listentoday6]

Yes pls! They're so talented and humble. I'm sure they have songs that fits your taste since their music is very diverse. Studio versions are amazing but live, they're monsters lmao.

[@icecrepegg1225]

Oh Day6, ranking them is so hard since they excel on different things and are so unique from each other. Wonpil is my favorite vocalist in the group but he's really just too unique in terms of vocal tone and technique and that makes me confused sometimes. I think Wonpil and Jae are pretty equal, thou sometimes I find Wonpil more stable/consistent compared to Jae. Meanwhile Jae's strong fort is his breathy vocals, and his r&b runs. Plus his tone is really attractive. They all have amazing ranges so that's not even a problem for them. Sungjin and Young K thou, they're both really strong vocalists but I find their so difference interesting. Sungjin does so good at belts, he's so open and resonant, really stable, his mix is amazing and amazing vibrato. He has the perfect raspy voice for rock but him singing ballads is just wow. His Duet Song Festival performances made me think he's gonna do so well on power ballads. I've been to their concert and his voice, you can feel his voice resonate throught the whole arena. I guess that's where he can really showcase his belting skills. Young K on the other hand, phenomenal head voice and agility, that guy is insane on how high he can go. A power vocalist. Really stable even if he goes too high and just really a well rounded singer. Wonpil is a mystery for me, his voice sounds like it comes from his face not from his throat. Idk how to explain it lol. I mean he's an amazing vocalist but I can't evem fit him on a genre, probably one of the reasons why I love his voice.

[@lamimwei3646]

Wow fam u articulated it so well... U said everything I wanted to say. Day6 boys indeed have such beautiful voices. They are amazing amazing Singers. Also I would never be able to rank them at all coz, simply given the fact that they don't have a fixed position of Main vocalist in team since all 4 of dem are main vocals. This can be further proved by looking at how each members shines the most depending on different songs they sing. Eg. You Were Beautiful - Wonpil I Like You - Jae Cover - Young K Like a Flowing Wind - Sungjin P.S - And yes our 5th vocalist Yoon Dowoon. Dowoon is Love. Dowoon is Everything. ❤

[@lamimwei3646]

[@teba5418]

At the last sentence about Wonpil... wow..I had goosebumps 👏👏👏

[@ulliamrina9062]

About Wonpil's voice he using nasal, it's from nose. He uses nasal very often when singing middle-high note. But I really love his falsetto. I agree that his voice is unique and I also agree with your opinion about Sungjin, Young K, Jae.

[@silviafernandes3306]

Thank you for reacting to Day6! I also had an extremely hard time ranking them, and think they all contributes in a different and unique way. Before I had put Youngk first, because he has a bigger range that he can play with compared to Sungjin, but it was really cool to hear a more professional and different opinion!

[@sambradley8297]

I was umming and arrrghing for ages about which was round to put them. But speaking honestly you could rank the top four in any order and a case could be made for all of them.

[@cam-tw8eq]

Jae is probably my favourite vocalist ever especially in chocolate, wanna go back, la trains, etc where i feel like you can really hear his voice

[@lostinthedream706]

Stan Day6, Stan Talent!

[@teba5418]

I fell in love with Sungjin's voice four years ago. Then I started to appreciate Jae's voice and later Young K and Wonpil. Finally I became a strong fan of Dowoon's voice too. I'm a proud Myday for three years now. I've been to three of their concerts and the fun and the energy were incredible. Not only they have amazing voices. They are great composers and performers too. Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. It made me feel even more proud of them.

[@fourleafclover-mdxd6]

I heard this story in which the vocal coach in JYP had not much to teach Sungjin since he was already really good at singing, and had to learn guitar instead 3 months before debut

[@myragingwhormoans]

i'm not too familiar with day6, i listen to "I Smile" and "Shoot Me" that's pretty much it. but omg sungjin has such a cool voice. also i'm really looking forward to your twice ranking, i love them so much, they got me into kpop.

[@deeeanna5829]

OMG you should totally check out DAY6 whole discography! They have done so much variety of music genres! They're very versatile yet still never fail to maintain their band's color in each song. You may be surprised how different they sound in Days Gone By, You Were Beautiful, I'm Serious, I'll Try and Beautiful Feeling

[@facesncharcoal4152]

[@euodeioosistema]

[@sadrainy]

Loved this, very thoughtful and well said. I do love points you make for Sungjin, who isn't as popular choice for best/favorite vocals, because most people often in kpop scene prefer the lighter/higher sound Young K offers and find his versatility in it make him trump the others, so it's nice to see a different angle and how thoroughly you researched them, and enjoyed them. Thank you! Edit: There's few little know videos from Bangkok where Sungjin genuinely goes into a metal level of growl that always blow my mind, especially knowing the smooth highness he can reach.

[@emoshrek8902]

Do you have the link of these sungjin videos?

[@howdymynamesjae]

yours was very well said as well. i first heard of day6 with shoot me and jae's part stood out for me the most. at first. then sungjin came and hit me with all his might and i still can't shut up about how fucking amazing he is and how much potential he has in his voice that we could see if they shifted their style a little bit. the phrase "metal level of growl" reminded me of how i explained sungjin's voice to my friend back then lol in kpop, there is an appreciated tone for vocals like you said and most groups go for it. but sungjin's case is different. after hearing him without the guitar (and therefore without him having to pay attention to it) i realized why jyp didn't wanna lose him to the point where they created a fucking band lol his voice is like some chester bennington level shit, if day6 was more of a frontman band with meteora type of music i'm sure we could see more of him. i know that a bon jovi style would be injustice to the other great three vocals who can slap the moon with their voices but still... i can't help but wonder how remarkable it would be to hear sungjin in the fullest. i listen to band music mostly and i'm used to the frontman/vocal leaving the guitar while singing and picking it up for music breaks and i know it's different for kpop but sungjin IS this type of vocal and that's why i'm curious how it'd be if they worked this way. i also understand why most people choose brian or jae in comparisons, their tones and overall styles suit the audience more i guess. i love them too. but i can see the monstrous capasity in sungjin even when he just sings the bridge. and knowing how laid-back and even loose he is he probably doesn't care what others think and just sings knowing he's a vocal shotgun lmfao i'm pretty sure that if day6 gets more popular internationally among band listeners and not just kpop fans, sungjin will be appreciated more. people already acclaim that he's a vocal master and capable of pulling any style while maintaining his original tone but i just wanted to mention that even though he likes acoustic plays more, he's a hard core rock vocal that is different than main kpop type of vocals and unique not just for his raspiness but this special frontman voice as well. this is something you're born with and like i said, you can see it even in the day6 songs that he's not lead in. he's blending in with day6' style but he still shows himself. for example, when hitting high notes sungjin doesn't even feel like high. you can feel the transition in others but sungjin just feels as powerful and intense as in his normal range even though he's actually hitting the note. brian has the versatility and flexibility that can be used perfectly for ad-libs. but sungjin is like one of those hardest wands in harry potter (great example, i know lol). very rare, very strong and very capable, can't be bended or yielded, and if used right creates magic that other wands cannot even start to describe. even in little moments like the "for the first time" part in first time or the bridge in stop talking, i wanna hit my head to the nearest wall because i can't comprehend how majestic he is. and you can see from the long-ass post that i really can't stop when it comes to praising sungjin lmfao sorry but not that sorry cause he's bob the i'm-gonna-hit-that-one-lADY-in-she's-gone-and-you-peasants-can-suffer-all-you-want-because-it's-the-perfection-but-also-it's-all-you-can-get-from-me-lol-i-don't-give-a-shit guy and i can't- okay bye cheers

[@EDM_Williams]

@@howdymynamesjae thank you. Thank you thank you thank you for this. My dude. Y e s. Yes to all of it. Yes to all of it timed 94728858395729. Sungjin is my absolute favorite vocalist ever, and for numerous reasons. I first randomly found D6 just before Letting Go through KZbin (thanks autoplay) and heard Congratulations. My back was turned to the computer, so I didn't know who it was and as I had just gotten into kpop in January, I was still learning groups. So Jae starts singing and I agree with myself that he's really good. Then Sungjin comes on. Whoom. I fly across the room to see who it is. From that moment he has been my favorite vocalist (and ultimate bias) because he is just that good. I didn't need to hear more, but my goodness I was proven SO right after listening to the rest of their songs and covers. I don't even need to explain how or why - you already said it all. I just want to say that it makes me so excited and happy whenever I see comments like thise one (which sadly doesn't happen very often (and I can't for the love of me understand why)) because freaking hell, Sungjin deserves the world for so many reasons, and I just wish more people would open their eyes and actually see him, so he can get the recognition he deserves so freaking much T^T

[@notmiruku29anymore]

@@EDM_Williams omg same. Jae got me curious about Day6 but I didn't really try to get to know the members. I liked the few MVs and songs I heard and so I played all their songs in the background. I tried listening in order and when it got to Colors. And dude, I had to check out who sang the chorus and the bridge and watched a live version and I was like wow. But I wanted to stay loyal to Jae. And then, Letting Go and then Goodbye Winter and then I Would, and that was it. I couldn't really escape. I was just so in love with his voice. And then he turns out to be such a great guy who happens to be a tsundere (just happens to be my type)

[@aliyah6943]

I really enjoyed this video! Of course I adore all of their voices, but for me YoungK trumps Sungjin in terms of tonal versatily and range (Sungjin has an amazing voice though). The person behind "Classical Musicians React", Umu also created a video 'Why Day6's Young K is my favorite K-Pop vocalist' where she highlighted YoungK's prominent role in terms of background vocals and harmonising throughout Day6's disocgraphy, and I think it's great how he can harmonise off the cuff with other members so consistently on-pitch in their acoustic radio performances. For me, I also find Wonpil is a little more consistent than Jae? So my personal order is :YoungK, Sungjin, Wonpil, Jae. As you said though, a case can be made for a lot of different orders for Day6's vocalists!

[@sambradley8297]

Absolutely it's the group I'm least set in stone of. Like you could place the 4 in any order and there is no way youd be wrong. More down to what each individual values in terms of vocal ability. But no they're all exceptional.

[@theguitar7411]

Yep, I also think Youngk is a slightly better vocalist than Sungjin,but not by a huge margin. They are kind of like Mamamoo in terms of ranking. We have a Solar vs Wheein situation with YoungK and Sungjin. Solar/Sungjin have a lot of volume, making their voice seem really powerful. Then there's Wheein/YoungK who have such versatility, fluidity and range. They are also their group's harmonizers.

I really, really, really liked your insight! I thought you'd like Young K's voice more since his voice is versatile and I can see a lot of people that prefers his voice color than the other 4. But I do agree that Sungjin's voice is very powerful! You can feel his emotions every time he sings. And I've seen them live, his voice was the one who really stood out for me bc dude I think you can still hear his voice roar from the upper seats even if he doesn't have a mic with him! This is the first video I watched from you since I love Day6 and I just want to thank you for appreciating their talent!

It was sungjin's voice that made me keep listening to day6 but youngk's what made me stay. Sungjin's voice is really powerful and passionate when he sings and very consistent, maybe too consistent. That's why i like youngk as a vocalist more. If you watch latest fancams of their concerts or any live performances, he adlibs most of his part. It changes all the time. He loves to experiment with his melodies. And his deep lower range is like ugghh.

Jae's voice was the first one that caught my attention when I first heard Day6 song... As I dig deeper esp.watching their live performances I feel inlove with Young K's voice the most. He is so versatile and has the widest range among the other members.He can sing very high and very much low too... Him&Sungjin are the most stable everytime they sing live.

[@Emily-hp5oy]

I know it is pretty hard to rank them because I think that since Day6 songs explore different genres and depending on the song I rank them, for example I love Sungjin's voice in 'Rescue Me' and I love Wonpil's in 'I'll try'. I can't even choose a favorite song or album, I'm unable to rank them 😂

He almost never hits a false note and he belted for hours as it was nothing. Young K has this quality when he plays live that he is enjoying himself so much and just makes you happy.

Check out his or the group's Immortal songs performances.

[@seven3093]

Thank you so much for this analysis. Loved it. I hope more people can appreciate Day6's talent

[@damchu15]

For me Young K vocal tone might be my least favourite as compared to other members as the others has very distinctive unique vocal tone, but he definitely outshine others in term of vocal technique and his strong voice which make he stand out the most. But personally I feel like most of DAY6 songs are meant for Wonpil and Young K voice, like it fits their genre perfectly. In which we can equally say that their songs aren’t really meant for Sungjin and Jae’s voice. But in their latest song, Zombie is where you can finally hear how they utilise Jae’s vocal to the fullest. But it still surprises me that you choose Sungjin as your first ranking even when they haven’t really fully utilise his vocal. Most of the time he only sings the chorus repetitively and that’s it. And I do believe there’s so much more in his vocal that he has yet to show us and I am very eager to hear that. Some of his covers like Bogoshipda and High Hope, even just a little, enough to hook me up with his voice and it sounded different to what he usually showed us through DAY6 songs. I’m really looking forward Sungjin’s solo with his own genre in future. My rank often changes tho: Sungjin> Young K> Wonpil> Jae Young K> Sungjin> Wonpil> Jae Young K= Sungjin> Wonpil> Jae (final thought) Obviously, as you can see, I also can’t choose between Young K and Sungjin. I would say its a bit unfair to rank them both so I put them at the same rank 😂

[@lamimwei3646]

Lol.. No offence bt I totally disagree with you like how can u say Sungjin & Jae's voice don't fit Day6 songs. Sungjin literally owns Letting Go, Rescue Me, Like a flowing Wind, Still, Goodbye Winter, Not Fine & so many of their songs. He has the raspiness in his voice dat stands out the most in Rock Ballads & Rock Metal Songs of Day6. Same goes with Jae. He has such a beautiful timbre, smooth & airy voice which goes really well with all of Day6 songs.

[@howdymynamesjae]

​@@lamimwei3646 not really. i think what op means that brian and wonpil are more of kpop vocals. they're superb but most of day6 songs let them shine even more. brian is like a beatles guy in the band, sings and plays well but actually he can do anything he wants cause there's always room for him, he's that flexible. wonpil is an interesting and very capable kpop vocalist, that's obvious. on the other hand, sungjin is definitely not a kpop vocalist, he's frontman material. he can show his true colours with much more hard core rock songs or just any genre if he can be a frontman instead of a "guitarist who sings". and jae has that indie voice, like those artists who pick their guitars and sing their hearts out without any genre or directive. although he's the best guitarist among them, i feel like he's not a band type singer and more of a soloist who's self-sufficient. and sungjin needs a whole fucking band to back his mighty voice and rock n roll the shit out. both blend in with day6' style and work great cause they're great singers after all. but the songs you gave examples of are just closer to the styles they can give maximum of theirs. jae and sungjin still stands out in day6 songs cause they're very unique and powerful but i'm pretty pretty sure that's not all they could show. in jae's case it's easier for him to do the music he wants (and he actually does that as eaj) because since his style is more indie, it's also more achievable. but it's hard for sungjin to show himself fully cause he's not the frontman and he's not in a band like linkin park that he can lead. he was the main vocal for the first albums but even back then it wasn't a lead like you see in other bands such as arctic monkeys or onerepublic, it was a kpop main vocal position where you sing the parts that require more power and technique. and now main vocal position completely disappeared, members lead in the songs in turn by how much it fits to one spesific member (or rock paper scissors lol). i'm not really complaining or degrading other vocals though, they all are extremely good and it would be a waste of talent to just make them back vocals. also different voices and tones make day6 songs much more appealing and exciting. that being said, i believe sungjin belongs to a different league than day6 and pretty much whole kpop scene. maybe i can give hongki as an example, he also had the frontman colour and showed it well with ftisland cause the structure of the band's music was suitable for it. sungjin still kills it in every day6 song (or project lel) but he has a lot more that yet to come. and if we finally get a chance to see it, i'll probably die of heart attack immediately so maybe bob's just protecting us from losing it if we see his ultimum divine form lmfao

I think Wonpil is still having a hard time controlling his voice, especially when he goes into higher notes. It would be amazing if you could check out SHINee. All five of them are wonderful vocalists with different vocal colors, I'm sure you'll have a great time. You've got yourself a new subscriber, cheers!

[@sambradley8297]

Thank you very much for the kind feedback. Day6 are really great. Thanks for subscribing. I will check out Shinee at some stage. Obviously I want to prioritise active groups for the time being. But I'll certainly look into them once I'm finished with some other groups.

[@americxno]

I agree with you!! Jae has my favorite tone and personal favorite voice in like- almost all of kpop lol. Young K is pretty high up there too and there’s nothing to say about Sungjin, he’s just that good. I really like how Wonpil exo executes his high notes tho. Of course our drum is still improving and in the future he’ll be so good, he’s already well on his way!! Literally name a group with better vocalists I’ll wait 🙂

[@gudetama552]

Fun fact: Jae said that JYPE made Sungjin change his voice to be more raspy and a feature. He use to have more clearer vocals. Just look up predebute clips, he sounds different but still beautiful

[@ТерриБанджер]

you're the diamond of this kpop idols' vocal analyzing people. every your video is so pleasant to watch

[@Lunessi]

I'm not sure why but I was expecting Jae on 4th place. But I really love their voices (even Dowoon's, for real, every song he sings a bit is automatically a fav for me). But in general I think it's the first time I'm genuinely on the same page as you. Maybe it's because they're a few it's easier to do a ranking? I love Sungjin raspy voice but I think that's because my alt-rock teenager years hahahahaha

[@elizabethtosson8083]

I was actually surprised youngk was not 1st and sungjin 2nd but when the whole group have god like vocals you can never be sure.

[@side._.effects]

It would be great if you could do TXT. A few songs that really show their vocals are Nap of a Star and 20cm

@@sambradley8297 Thank you and I hope you enjoy their music!

[@coolbeans6895]

I have loved every voice in different ranking depending on the song. I had to see what an expert had to say and was glad to see even you struggled with the ranking. I personally have been partial to Wonpil’s tone these days. I would love to hear Dowoon if he ever uses his voice to its full potential. It would be cool to see how such a low voice can change the songs. The songs where he sings in have always been my favorites because his low voice adds so much to the overall song.

[@quyenoan5320]

Thank you so much for giving such detailed explanation on the ranking. It's rare to see high-quality analysis of Kpop vocals in general so it's really nice to see one about my favourite band. It would be awesome if you could take a look at LOONA as well at some point

[@kimberlychan5441]

honestly i wouldnt be able to rank them and they have such distinct and unique voices i cant ask for more i feel that wonpil has such an emotional voice is sooo healing,, i cant stop repeating 예뻤어 because of wonpil's last chorus part :")) just amazing jae has such a soothing voice and beautiful voice tone and the way he ends his notes why does no one talk about this,, its just soo beautiful young k just has this out of the world voice that makes u scream young k !!! super versatile and huge range and can i say this genius lyricist:) sungjin is just so underrated his raspy voice just adds another layer to day6's songs and gives off such a warm feeling ,, jyp pls utilise him better!! dowoon my baby will definitely get to show his potential one day :)

[@chibikamoshi2310]

Although youngk is what got me into day6, I immediately fell in love with sungjins voice, and having it explained why his voice is so great makes me love it even more! (Ofc all the four have great voices!!)

[@toomaixjoy]

My friend and I were talking about this last night. We have the same ranking as well! We also like Jae's the most because it's so sweet and invokes emotions well.

[@svendvendb]

i really dont know how you could rank the top 4 its so hard i think my ranking changes with every single song i listen

[@ildefonso5778]

So yeah, just a while ago, I'm watching his EXO's vocal ranking, then now I'm here, because WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DAY6 here. I didn’t feel this much excited for the past months. Thank you for this

as a myday i absolutely agree with you. I love all their vocals, and you can tell how their signings abilities changed through their years. thank you for this video!!

im not into day6 but i love their song "where the sea sleeps" and im in love with wonpil's voice

I’ve only listened to a couple day 6 songs, and never watched elige performances. But holy shit, they are so vocally talented. Like when I saw the guy moonpil ranked 4th and his voice was literally incredible, I was like how the fuck could there be a better vocalist in this group

[@devensingh9195]

He could be main vocalist for many new kpop groups they all seem to lack good vocalist

[@devensingh9195]

@Pinkii Lights "sungjin is the only main vocalist material in the group" lmao Name me some vocalist who are better Young K in kpop.

*wonpil

Wonpil’s vocals on this latest album “The Book Of Us : Demon”, really does give it some buzz I won’t lie. His voice is really my fave to hear from their latest project

nice! i 100% agree with your rankings i especially love sungjins voice its so good have you heard of f(x)? if you want you could do a vocal ranking on them!

Thankyou for adding dowoon as a vocalist ❤ we knew that he's never have real experience singing lesson, and people sometimes forget him because even without real experience all of the members still told us that day6 have 5 vocalists, not only 4! ❤

[@Takako2Konjo]

Do tvxq when they were still a 5 member group. They were voted as top 20 best vocalist for the longest time! I think you might have fun with this one! Then do Dean, crush, and SNSD Taeyeon!

[@lilpink6192]

I would like to leave my own placement for the boys because I've been stanning for a while now and often listen to many of their live/raw performances, (just my own opinion) Of course or lil' boy Dowoon would be at #5 being the least skilled vocalists, but I wished you showed off some of their clips of them utilising his voice perfectly. Like the harmony in "I'll Try" where they mixed in Dowoon's low range tone into the last part of the song. Though he might not be as skillful as the rest of the boys, his voice is not at all dispensible. Personally, I would not put Wonpil as #4 because watching him perform and me copying his technique has helped me reach notes that were too high for me to hit before, he is normally on pitch and has subtle adlibs that are prevalent in concerts, he knows how to have fun with his vocals, although he does lose his voice sometimes when it gets too high and he has run out of breath, he is blessed with a beautiful angelic voice that can always stay on pitch. I would put Wonpil as #3. #4 would probably be Jae, even though I'm a huge Jae bias and his vocals are incredibly unique, he pushes to much air out of his lanky body and usually goes out of pitch. He adlibs a lot in concerts, alongside Brian (YOUNGK) but Jae's adlibs are very hit or miss compared to Brian's well-controlled adlibs. So I would put Jae at #4. (Under Wonpil because I feel like Wonpil stays on pitch more frequently and with more ease.) Brian IS DEFINITELY NOT #2. NOPE. He is one of the most talented vocalists that is also the main rapper of the group. His low range is stable and deep, his mid-range is controlled and sexy asf, his high pitch is always perfect. He adlibs in every concert with perfect harmonies. I am not joking when I say his range is one of the best in KPOP, check out "She's gone - Jae and Young K" on KZbin. In that video, though they're messing around, you can easily compare Brian's vocals with Jae and a bit of Sungjin. They're struggling to hit those notes, sure, but Brian has such good control in high notes and low notes that he never sounded like he was straining his voice. I often hear Brian's vocals are very much like theatre/musical vocals because his control and fullness in his voice is very clear and refreshing. He rarely falls off notes and always enunciates parts that just absolutely SLAPS. also would like to add that his ability to change from chest-voice to head-voice and use his mix voice perfectly and effortlessly makes his all the more talented. AND HE'S THE MAIN! RAPPER! BTW!. I would bias/bias-wreck him, but damn, such a perfect man absolutely scares the hell out of me. (quick summary for Brian cause I went on a long tangent - best range, best control, best pitch, best adlibs, #1 for sure) For Sungjin~ our leader-nim. I would personally put him under Brian, at #2, because Sungjin: even though he has perfect pitch and a sexy, raspy and unique voice, he doesn't take risks, and his range is smaller than Brian's. In concerts, you would rarely see him ever do adlibs. (not to say that that is a bad thing, but it shows that Brian is more comfortable with his voice and is able to change up the song so his performances never get too boring.) Sungjin has overall extremely good control and good tone but it's the fact that he rarely takes risks during live concerts and in a way too "by-the-book" makes me feel like he is less skilled in his vocal ability. TL:DR ---------- #5 Dowoon #4 Jae #3 Wonpil #2 Sungjin #1 Young K

[@sambradley8297]

That's an interesting and detailed analysis. And you're probably more familiar with the guys than I am, so it's nice to hear someone elses opinion on it, but that's what makes these videos fun, it can lead to a discussion and I enjoyed the way you broke yours down!

[@em680]

My ranking: 1. Young K 1. Jae 1. Sungjin 1. Wonpil 1. Dowoon

[@SG-lu9er]

In addition, most of the background vocals in Day6 songs is done by Young K because of the versatility of his voice

I just finished binging your channel! I liked all of your rankings and agreed with it. Now, I wish you would do the ranking of BigBang, Infinite, Highlight, and the Unite, which is a survival program for not so popular groups in Kpop. This program has one of the best vocals I have ever heard.

[@la_moondrops5799]

YUP! It s just so on point. I love all of their voice. It s just Sungjin's voice is like my 1st❤, fall for it the 1st time I listen to his singing. 😳 Dowoon surprised me when he sing the bridge of the song '365247' - it s so good! He gives a lil bit spanish vibes to it. 💃 Since U mentioned - Jae's tone is probably ur favorite, please listen to his solo 'PACMAN' and 'PILLOWS' DANG! He nailed it! I realized that English song works more for Jae when Day6 rewrite Bigbang's song 'BAD BOY' in English version. And I need more of songs like 'RESCUE ME' and 'NOT FINE', it is just so fit to Sungjin's voice. Please listen to 'SHE S GONE' covered by Young K and Jae when they r doing a karaoke. It s so entertaining. 😆😆😆 You r gonna love all of the songs I mentioned above 😉 Edit: ah! I forget to say, please listen to their song 'LETTING GO rebooted version', that song gives me Queen vibes on the bridge 😳

[@maryama3831]

I love how you make it simple but acceptable for people who don't listen to day6 much, and I think your opinions are great, you put it into some nice words, and I'm agree with your way of ranking this. Also by the way thank you for doing this for Day6, I really appreciate that. They worked hard on their passion which is doing music, and I think they will be happy to see this kind of videos. For the upcoming videos, can you do another Kband like The Rose and N.Flying? They have talented vocalists (I'm pointing Sammy the Rose and Seunghyub N.Flying but the others are great too) I think you won't regret start on checking them later. Thanks again for this!
