Director Reacts - ONEW - 'Nessun Dorma' (LIVE)

[@pote-take]

Regarding this song, ONEW said, ``I wanted to learn operatic vocalization so that I could sing better as SHINEE's vocalist.'' And he chose "Nessun dorma" as his practice song. There are many professional opera singers who can sing this song better than him, but his spirit is priceless. This was a solo song performed at Tokyo Dome. It may be hard to convey in the video, but everyone in the dome was stunned by the power of his voice. For a moment, I had no idea where I was or what concert I had come to.😍😍😍

[@Taywuxiang1961]

Onew's voice is so unique that sm founder casted he himself. His voice is naturally powerful and his tone is a mix of light and velvet.

[@TheHamireths]

I think you're gonna like Onew's "O (Circle)", this song is magnificent.

[@clynncallaway]

My favorite Operatic song and my favorite Shinee member.

[@lindseygrigsby8709]

Onew has such a beautiful tone to his voice. 😊

[@ThisRoscoe]

Lindsey! How have you been?? How has the job been going? It's been a year already!

[@lindseygrigsby8709]

@ThisRoscoe ups and downs bro. Dad had a stroke a few weeks back but he is doing well and on the mend. Other than that I've been well. My brother and sis in law had a baby boy about 6 months ago and my daughter is dead set on making him a Stay. Lol

[@ThisRoscoe]

@@lindseygrigsby8709 awwww I’m sorry to hear about Dad but it’s good to know he’s doing better now. ❤️ Love to you and the fam.

Onew has a tremendous Vocal Range F#2 ~ Bb5 (3 octaves and 2 notes). Supported Range B2 ~ G4/G#4 B2 ~ E5 (With head voice). Thank you so much for highlighting the leader of SHINee. Check out Onew's fun side with "Dice" MV and dance practice.

[@emilyhenku]

Onew's a fantastic vocalist. Hope you check out his solo stuff!

[@milindawilson9175]

Onew's performance of "Nessun Dorma" was performed in 2016 as a solo stage during one of SHINee's Japanese concerts, but it is not the first time Onew has performed this song, he has been performing it since SHINee's early days. Whether it's a performance from 2011 or this one from 2016, there isn't much difference -- his voice is a little more mature in 2016, but it was still impressive from the beginning. Onew is not classically trained in opera, but he had been training as a singer for more than 10 years when this performance took place, and he has an amazing range and understanding of his voice. He is also a musical stage actor, so he understands how to project his voice to the back of the theater and he knows how to tell a story through the performance of the song. As you know, "Nessun Dorma" is an Italian song, so I am sure he spent time studying an original version of the song, and really worked on perfecting the pronunciation of the words. He doesn't speak Italian, but he could fool you into thinking he can with this performance. ;p Onew is known for having clear and perfect diction and pronunciation when it comes to languages. He, and all the SHINee members, seem to have an ear for being able to pick up on the nuances, inflections and phrasing in different languages that make them seem like native speakers. It's that attention to detail that makes them that much more impressive. You're right, Onew is a member of SHINee, so you know it will be an amazing performance.That's why the members of SHINee are some of the most well respected singers and artists, and why they are one of the top groups in the industry. SHINee are the golden standard when it comes to live performances. It's literally known as the SHINee standard, and it's what all other groups strive to reach. If you are impressed with Onew's vocal range in this performance, just wait until you see his performance of "Friend." Onew broke the record for the longest continuous note at 40+ seconds, just because he could. I believe that this performance was at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, so there were 55,000 fans in that audience, and, yet, listen to how quiet the whole audience is. They are all just as speechless as you. :) The Tokyo Dome is one of the largest concert venues in Japan and there is an unwritten rule that in order to get permission to hold an event there you have to be able to fill it to capacity. SHINee are so popular as Japanese artists that they are one of the few acts that are actually asked by the concert promoters to hold another concert there. Most people have to ask to hold an event at the Tokyo Dome, but with SHINee, executives actually contact SM and ask them to please hold another event there. SHINee are so popular in Japan that they know they will have no problem selling out within minutes of tickets going on sale and most likely they will have to have multiple day events because fan demand will be so high. SHINee has even held fan meeting events at the Tokyo Dome that weren't even full concerts and were still able to sell out. Which just goes to show you, how popular they really are.

[@TheMaverickUSA]

Onew has one of the most unique and beautiful voices. Please watch his MV Blue. Too beautiful to believe.

[@niranwashere1087]

Talented guy! Did not expect that voice

[@AndieFlowers3]

To me he is the best male voice in K-pop history! His training and ability is nothing short of spectacular! 🤩

[@Sujan_Draws]

First time I heard this I sort of went into denial…like “no way is that real”… 😂😂 No, it’s just that amazing and awesome that it seems unreal. I gets chills every time I hear it too. So glad you heard this!

[@ethelralte1024]

Shinee, can do anything, Onew has a powerful and beautiful vocal.

[@Auntie67]

Every single time I hear this aria I get goosebumps all over my body. And Jinki (real name of Onew) really killed it! SHINee is truly unique when it comes to their talent :)

[@田田-h7j]

❤❤❤Onew is definitely one of my favorite male vocalists in kpop industry

[@sandrine39455]

Idem, pour moi aussi il est LA plus belle voix masculine de la Kpop.

[@Phantasian]

Yes. Exactly how I felt when I discovered SHINee members during Covid years. Every member gave me goosebumpy moments. This is one of Onew's many goosebump songs.

[@emcnyri]

i feel the same

[@LemuKao]

Why am I NOW finding this video??? I love this song and this cover is gorgeous

[@jadwigawojciak7711]

Onew's is an angel! ❤❤❤

[@moo777]

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE SANG OPERA! WOW! I'm right there with you, Roscoe!!!! I don't think I even took a breath that whole performance! Thank you for reacting to this because I never even saw it!

[@LiveANoursishedLife]

I love Onew's voice!! He had to have surgery to have polyps removed from his vocal cords a few yrs back and he thought he'd never sing again. He comes back and his he sings Rainy Blue which was written by a Japanese singer who also had the same surgery but was never able to sing again. It's a beautiful performance with Taemin playing the piano for him. Simply beautiful like this performace but it carried so much weight and emotions behind it bc of the situation and the writer of the song, etc.

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

Oh, and Onew has been in KDrama as well, the most recognizable is Descendants of the Sun. I love it when first-time reactors watch SHINee MVs and whenever Onew starts singing, they always stop the MV and say, who's that, who's that singing that?? The comments are all about his unique tone, but SHINee's harmony is what makes them uniquely SHINee. Individually, they're scary, though, right??

[@susanrhein7546]

Onew had to have throat surgery and didn't know how he would sound afterwards. Check out Onew singing Rainy Blue live with Taemin on the piano. Check out the back story of the singer who wrote the song.

[@HaydenAmat]

He's awesome especially singing Nessun Dorma live. His name is pronounced On-yu. As a half Italian half Asian (also having lived in Italy and I'm fluent in Italian) He has a good accent. A few errors here and there but it's normal, especially with certain sound differences between languages in gerenral. I make mistakes sometimes when I talk to my mother and she corrects me. lol. I'm sure it was nerve-racking for him having to sing it live and in another language. It was awesome.

[@multifandomchica4life397]

Onew tone equates to heavenly for me..When I think of angels singing, I just picture Onew..😇

[@sasha_pretty_day]

Ah here it is, my favorite voice in Kpop. 💎

[@KoiFishy23]

Brings tears to the eyes for sure.

[@OT54ever]

That’s my favorite voice in the world. He is my ult bias for a reason ❤️💎 Please check his solo work… Blue his solo debut song is amazing. SHINee have 5 of the most talented and respected Artists in Kpop, they are the role models for so many new idols. So proud to be their fan.

Ensus cuerda vocales .Lo triste que el no tuvo los mismo resultado que el y perdió la voz .Te podras imaginar como se sentía ONEW . La interpretación de ONEW es una de las mas hermosa y es en japones

[@issa8113]

I’ve seen Shinee’s concert a few times before JH passed.. they sound amazing live ❤

[@1mamalama1]

Thank you for reacting to my SHINee bias. All of SHINee are talented but Onew’s voice just hits me more. He has such a unique tone to his voice. His solo songs are great too. Would love to see you react to some of his MV’s and live performances. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

[@aurnaurrr]

Roscoe gracias por dedicarle tiempo a SHINee ,Te darás cuenta a que se refería SUGA de BTS cuando hablo de ello de SHINee un grupo que lo da todo en el escenario Cantaban en vivo eran conocidos como los CDNee Sus actuaciones en vivo eran geniales otro nivel .Todos los admiran y quieren ser como ellos .Un grupo con un sin fin de Talentos .16 años brillando ídolos de ídolos unas verdaderas leyendas .BRILLA .

[@nataliasheridan6941]

You need to check out his solo work especially circle his live performance. He is so good.

[@Mishari143always]

Please check out Onew's song Blue if you get a chance. His voice is so beautiful and Shinee are so under appreciated imo.

[@patriciacanadiansenior8130]

That was impressive!

[@magnifaxya]

SHINeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[@Phantasian]

This is also why I want SHINee to have a few English hits, not to seek west validation, but to show their beauty to a wider audience.

I fell for Taemin’s moves first, but Onew serenaded me away

[@evcim02]

Where is Onew- circle reaction mannnn??it is so interesting,you have to watch it

[@marinal.]

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Of course they slay. They are all amazing singers and performers. BTS were inspired by greats u know. =0p Loved this on 1st listen. I am not big into opera but feels. He looked so nice too. =0] Please react to Onew's Rainy Blue Solo Stage with Taemin it could be his first solo stage after vocal surgery, the little I know was after vocal surgery there was risk of not being able to sing again. After several months of not talking he had to learn how to sing all over again. Lucky the outcome was successful. This might be Onew's first singing solo after the operation, so emotional for him.

Ay un error en alguien que dijo que el Kpop, error amiga, solo Onew hizo algo así, es SHINee y sus talentos reales, no es popularidad es talento este grupo.

[@donitapolk9413]

THIS IS THE SONG!!! (I lowkey feel like Lucy in Charlie Brown Christmas ... "That's it!" But I digress) The song I know as soon as i hear it but cannot remember where or when i heard it. Here i am singing along, quietly, as it is 9pm where i am, and not really enunciating since i don't speak the language ... Italian is it? From which opera is this song originally? Thanks Cap'n.

[@ThisRoscoe]

Hey Sweet Pea! 😉 You’re right, this is Italian, and it is originally from the opera “Turandot”.

Onew srill has the unbeaten record for the longest note without taking a breath I believe. Over 40 seconds long. After him is Jonghyuns for stranger at 15.48 seconds long.

[@christinejones1772]

Silver army here 👵🏼......I am still waiting for you to watch Shinee's MV "Can I Get Your Number" it's a unique MV that will definitely bring a smile and give credence to your comment that they are all over the place musically👍🫶 💟
