Jonghyun "Y Si Fuera Ella" | REACTION

[@milindawilson9175]

Jonghyun's song is a cover/rewrite of Alejandro Sanz's "Y si fuera Ella," so most people just call it by its original Spanish title, but Jonghyun's version is called "Hyeya" or"Haeya". Haeya is the girl's name (which I understand is meant to be a generic term used like "her" or "she") that Jonghyun is singing about that is why it's the only word in the English lyrics that isn't translated because there isn't a translation, it's a name. Jonghyun heard the Spanish song and he and his manager loved it so much that Jonghyun had to make it his own -- with the help of Kenzie, one of SM's main songwriters -- by translating and reworking it into Korean and changing it slightly to make it fit his vision of what the song's message was about. This was one of Jonghyun's most epic and iconic performances of this song. And it will forever be a symbol of what made him such a great artist. In the performance the explosion you heard was not a gunshot, but it was his heart exploding. He felt so passionately about the girl that his heart literally exploded. The song is about how the girl, Haeya, left him and he is in pain because she is no longer with him. The whole song is him begging her to come back to him. He loves her so much that he is dying from the pain of being seperated from her, etc. This was Jonghyun's very first solo single and he was only 18 when this song was first released -- only a few months after SHINee's debut in 2008 -- so this just goes to show you how amazing of an artist he really was. (This specific performance was at their SHINee World Concert II (SWC2) in Seoul in 2012, so he is about 22 here.) His mastery of singing, emotion and stage presence is awe inspiring. If he was this good so early in his career, you can see why he has become so highly respected after more than 10 years in the industry. Hence, why Jonghyun is known as one of the best singers in the industry, and SHINee are one of the top groups that are known for the fact that they all can do it all. They really are one of the most well rounded groups in Kpop that excel at every aspect of the entertainment industry. It's easy to see why everyone looks up to them. Jonghyun was highly respected for his songwriting and composing skills. He was one of the very first Idols to be recognized as a songwriter and he became one of the most prolific songwriters and composers of his generation. He was the first SM Idol to have a fully self-written album. And all his albums following that were written and composed or co-composed by him. His legacy includes several dozen songs credited to him. It's one of the things that all Shawols hold onto as part the legend that he left behind that we feel is our duty to share with the world in order to keep his memory alive. He also wrote about 40% of SHINee's songs and several songs for other artists, such as EXO's "Playboy," Lee Hi's "Breathe," IU's "Gloomy Clock" and Taemin's "Pretty Boy" and "Already," among others. He was special, and it's songs like this where you can see how powerfully he felt about everything he did. One of the things that he was known for was the fact that he was full of love and compassion for everyone and everything in this world, and he often wore his heart on his sleeve. When he performed you could feel every emotion flowing from his being. That's what made him such a great singer/songwriter, but it was also what I think caused him to feel so much pain. He took everything so personally, both the good and the bad and he never thought he was good enough. He did so much good in his short 27 years and he left behind a great legacy, however, his time was much too short. He really was one of the greats. People say that when he walked into a room you could feel his star power, and yet he was so humble and down to earth that everyone instantly wanted to be his friend. You did well Jonghyun, our beautiful angel and diamond in the sky.

This song was on SHINee's first full album in 2008, he sang this when he was just 18...

I'm so happy that you reacted to Jonghyun💎 Y si fuera ella is a cover of a song by Alejandro Sanz a famous Spanish singer.He was born to be on stage...every time he sings he always manages to convey many emotions that they inevitably touch my heart. He has one of the most beautiful voices in all of Korea. He was the first of Sm to release an album composed of songs written by him. I recommend you also listen to skeleton flower, end of day, cocktail, let me out, crazy

Yes, Jonghyun certainly felt this song will all his heart. He had sung it before at events early in his career, and it is also his solo track in SHINee's very first EP. But as far as I know, and taking my fair guess, this concert was at a time he had to break up with his love actresse Shin Se Kyung. The haters chriticizing them for dating was severe, and so devastating for them as newbies, he as an idol and she an actresse. It is really heartbreaking how it was...and yet, he made this song like his, and he made this performance iconic! Sanz woukd be proud,

만약 지금 활동 했다면 정말 대단한 가수가 되고도 남았을 정도로 능력이 좋았는데.. 참 안타깝다. 하늘에서 재능있는 사람들을 빨리 데려 간다는 이야기가 있는데.. 그립다 종현.. 행복하게 지내고 있길..
