Lee Hai & Park Ji Min [Good-bye Baby] @KPOPSTAR 20120415

[@DidaxS]

It's sad how Jimin is still pretty unknown while Lee Hi is quite famous. When will JYP wake up and start promoting his artists like they deserve? First, Wonder Girls (who right now could have been bigger than SNSD) and now this talented and precious girls? Come on, JYP.

[@jimlovemij]

I do agree that jimin needs more promotions but maybe they just need right timing, look at baek ah yeon she wasn't really big back then now shes one of the popular soloist.

[@ayunamaweru7089]

He cares more to the pretty girl with commercial value like suzy 😆 😄

[@seoulfoodyo]

it's becuz 하이 has 스타성 and 지민 does not. plus 하이 sings like a black woman in her 40s and 지민 sings like a white girl who does a good impression singing like a black woman (ie. christina aquilera). And there are a bunch of girls that can already do that in Korea, but only a handful of girls that do what 하이 does. 이하이 was born with an unfair advantage (her voice). I don't care if she won this season, 지민 can't even hope to compete and the real world results show (money in the bank).

[@DidaxS]

+Spamuel Jackson I dont know their names in hangul so I don't really know who you talk about 😌

[@seoulfoodyo]

sorry. 하이/이하이= Lee Hai/Hayi/Hai. 지민=jimin. 스타성 = potential to be a star, it-factor. jimin perhaps is more technically proficient yet her voice is very common. hayi has a one in a million voice for a korean girl. she's like the female version of flowsik

[@eternelbonheur]

Jimin sings better (I think she has better control) but Hayi has a more interesting voice. I love their harmony.

[@indibaaa]

you're right, I feel this too

[@asisroychowdhury]

I guess Lee hayi But the fluffy cheeked is also good😢😂😂☺️☺️👍👍😘😘❤️

[@rafa.subeldia]

I agree

[@haekece1484]

They should make a duo group

[@orzRaspberrih]

park jimin's voice is so flawless, her singing is perfect. but lee hi's voice is interesting enough to make me want to listen to a whole album of just her. that's what makes her a successful solo singer.

[@tjbluie4208]

Totally agreed

[@jackiefernandez6083]

jimin's high notes, good and clear melody makes her sound more soothing and flawless than leehi, but I also think that Lee hi has this naturally unique husky voice. I can't compare the two singers cause they obviously have diff styles in singing, but I prefer Hayi's style. Its imperfect yet its makes you recognize that its her singing. I also like that fact that when she sings, it feels like she's delivering the song to a diff emotional level (so connected to the song) even if her stage presence is not top notch.

[@maryamshaaban3490]

Yhasss i was devastated when she lost .. I believe she has better riffs and runs and also more control .. Jimin was good too but a little shaky and pitchy sometimes ..both great overall

[@shironeko6221]

I'm just glad Jimin chose JYP ^^ She's a really talented girl, not only in musical scene (her technique is really improving since k-pop star days) but in entertainment area as well (acting, MC-ing, dancing? lol) Hayi sure fit YG, and perhaps she's more well known but I really hope YG treat her well

[@NganNguyen-zz7rv]

+Shiro Neko yep, YG family treated her really well. She smile and play alot with them

[@shironeko6221]

Ngân Nguyễn haha I'm pretty sure she is treated well in that area, I just hope YG release her from dungeon more frequently

[@Do94ubleG]

she acted before?? I didn't know? where?

[@shironeko6221]

Do94ubleG Jimin acted in an episode of Dream Knight (GOT7 webdrama), and basically she also acted in her MV Hopeless Love

[@j4nisse]

huhu both of them now left those companies

[@maniachik92]

while i think lee hi has the more unique voice (i wouldn't really say better voice because they are both really good), i think jimin is a much better performer

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

It really is hard to see what you're saying. I guess it is totally subjective. But, trying to be as objective as possible, I can't see any criteria that would apply to indicate that she is a "much better performer."

[@maniachik92]

i mean it in the inflection in her voice and the way she moves around the stage. she just seems more at home on the stage and it shines through. it's just the personality and feeling that she puts into her performances. this could totally be my bias towards jimin shining through, but i do truly believe (as objectively as i can) that she is a better performer

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

maniachik92 Okay. Yeah, I would just say it is a matter of subjective preference/bias then--because I thought that Lee Hi's expressions and movements matched the meaning of the song particularly well. And if you watch it again, without any bias, it's easy to see that Ji Min isn't moving around on the stage any more gracefully than Lee HI. (If anything, she's actually moving less.) I know some enthusiastic fans of Ji Min have tried for a long time to label Lee Hi as somehow being less dynamic and having less stage presence, maybe as an effort to undermine her popularity. But it really doesn't make much sense. For example when Lee Hi debuted with 1,2,3,4, the "antis" were constantly making that claim, even though Lee Hi's live performances were always very dynamic and entertaining (hopping up on chairs, doing shimmy dances, kicking the chairs away and spinning, cute hand gestures, complex choreography with back dancers, etc.), while Baek Ah-Yeon and 15& just stood in one place throughout their entire stage performances of their debut songs. (There's nothing wrong with that. I enjoy the singing and don't expect lots of physical movement, but I just don't see how their fans have any basis for saying that they're better stage performers than Lee HI.) (I actually like both Lee Hi and Ji Min. While I have to admit that I have a Lee Hi bias, I like them both enough that I can understand both biases. Some people prefer the higher and clearer toned voice of Ji Min and her more animated facial expressions. Some people prefer the deeper, richer, more resonant tones of Lee Hi and how she so dramatically phrases and accents particular parts of the lyrics to vocally draw out the meaning. We're lucky because we have two fantastically talented singers to enjoy. )

[@lashes0409]

agreed.

[@asdfgabeee]

Can't we just say that both were good?

[@lilychristina2092]

Personally I find Lee Hi's voice more attractive but Jimin has more control. Lee Hi is pretty famous now so when is JYP gonna start promoting Jimin too

[@haekece1484]

Never 😂 they should make duo

[@AnimeMangaCraze1]

Jimin's voice is amazing here, i love the last "goodbye" especially :')

[@tamagomaniac]

Lee Hai naturally have strong charisma on stage.

[@kely123000]

PARK JI MIN ♥

[@natyki]

They are both very talented and amazing singers. However, I love Lee Hi's type of voice. You don't hear a lot of these types of voices in K-Pop. :]

[@sojunggoldenvoice7613]

Agree

[@Choi4eva]

Lee Hi has the most unique voice. You know instantly that it's her when you hear it. Talent and uniqueness combine with her spunky personality is why she's so popular.

[@goldensly_]

Jimin has a really beautiful voice. Lee hi has more power but Jimin is the better and clearer singer. :) JYP really happy tho, HAHAHA Jimin is really meant for JYP , she even knee the dance. Hahaha.

[@6maria94]

I love Lee Hi and 15&... But even though Park Jimin won, I love Lee Hi much more, and I think she's more recognized in korea... she went to the top in every comeback, everyone loves her. I think the problem is the management... I mean, they both have great songs... but everyone that went to YG has their own mark (I'm talking about AKMU right now, too) and that's why they get high on tops... Lee Hi has an unique voice, AKMU have their playful songs, and 15& songs are really cool, but I don't think they stand out as much as the other 2. I'm saying this because I noticed right now that Park Jimin has a better control on her voice than Lee Hi...

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

I don't hear any "better control." They're both good. Jimin of course sings higher notes because her voice is higher. But Lee Hi has excellent control throughout and sings lower notes because her voice is lower. (In fact there are very few female singers whose range can cover the low-middle registers as powerfully as Lee Hi does.) Additionally, Lee Hi uses vocal phrasings that are closer to a conversational style, while hitting all of the notes in the melody--which is itself a very desirable approach for conveying emotion vocally and drawing people into the song. It takes tremendous control to do that and her voice is very well suited to it. Taking that into account, you can't really say that one has "better control" than the other.

[@6maria94]

I know that she has a lot of point reaching low notes like that... But still, I think Jimin has more control... It's just opinions though, I'm not being biased, that way, I'd be protecting Lee Hi xD

[@KFChic]

6maria94 totally agree! I think jimin control her voice better that's why it comes out smoothly and stable just like recording, I mean all of her notes are perfect (even low note). but it's true lee hai voice is more emotional. love them both anw

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

KFChic I seriously don't think it's "better control" that you're hearing. What you are hearing are differences in tonality. It's the difference between a naturally husky voice (Lee Hi) and a bell-tone voice (Ji Min). You can hear such differences even when they are speaking. Even if they used the exact same singing technique, you would still hear the difference because it's a fundamental manifestation of the physiological differences in their vocal chords. Bell -toned voices are loved for their smoothness and clarity, while husky voices are loved for the earthy, raw, slightly rough edged feeling that they give. Saying that Jimin has "better control" is like saying that a smooth chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bar has better control than a nut-crunch coated fudgesicle because the smooth chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bar is smoother and has no rough edges.

[@6maria94]

Rolf Senmark well, I guess we have different definitions of control, but ok xD

[@balyumruk]

I want Jimin to feature in Hayi's new album. at least she gets to sing in that way. Jimin's talent is really being wasted in jyp. tho she's mad talented and won the show, tell me what is she doing. after school show? when was 15&'s last comeback? and now the other girl is going solo. really, jyp? really?

[@WonderfulKIAnue]

+balyumruk I swear! I thought I was the only one who felt that she gets no good parts in her own songs. Like, Yerin is awesome too, but damn, let Jimin shine! She like one of the best singers in kpop, yet no one knows it because she cant get any type of recognition.

[@balyumruk]

+Kia Vang ikr, it's such a shame. it such a shame that it makes me really angry. i supported Hayi back then, i still prefer Hayi over Jimin but damn jyp, give the girl what she deserves, she has insane vocals and i wonder when was the last time she sung a song. jyp really pisses me off sometimes.

[@WonderfulKIAnue]

i love them both so much, but i definitely prefer LEEHi because her singing has gotten better like Jimin, but she still sings with emotion passion in her voice like the show. I feel like Jimin has been losing her CHarisma. If she would just go for those notes and sing more parts, she'd be better than Ailee for all I know.

[@balyumruk]

+Kia Vang I think jyp takes Jimin for granted. like he thinks "public loves her, she'll be successfull no matter, albums will sell good, why rush, she'll do okay, everyone knows her" etc etc but it's not like that.. i wish she at least did some collabs... at this rate she'll be forgotten. even 2pm is struggling..

[@nathalielim7987]

+balyumruk Jimin had her own solo and she's in ASC! I love her, I love watching her on ASC, she's so adorable and I love JYP nation, so no matter where she is I will always support her.

[@porpearkim7698]

LEE HI :D

[@takenoprisoner42]

Love them both, but I love Jimin more, her voice is soothing

[@darlenejung937]

agree

[@fifikpop4364]

+takenoprisoner42 saaame

[@ahlam9822]

Jimin has such an amazing voice , well both of them do , but jimin is more capable of dealing with the different notes of any song. Jimin fighting you're gorgeous 💖💕💞💟💝💘💗

[@polly705]

15& Park Jimin! Love that quirky little thing! Love her personality and of course her voice. Slowly 15&'s making their way showing what theyve got. Glad that love is madness is doing good in the charts remaining in the top 10 this past 3 weeks :D I hope everyone will know how good of a singer Yerin and Jimin is :)

[@kofeee]

Jimin sings way better but i prefer Lee H's voice bec her voice is really distinct, it has its own flavour. plus her voice is husky, and i like husky voice. :) Meanwhile, Jimin's voice is amazing, but i feel like there are some singers out there who sound like her. But i still like her still

[@asdfghjk4193]

god jimin is so good...i mean after all these years she still gives me goose bumps

[@annisakareem2673]

jimin sounds so smooth n clear, n lee hayi sounds so powerful n unique...

[@farah_felice]

I still can't believe they were already THAT talented at that age it's really not fair

[@ddjohnson576]

i think jimins voice was good and i loved it when she could hit the high notes but her voice is too breathless and lee hi's voice was powerful and strong i felt like she could do alot of other different styles

[@quintuple_s7111]

Best collaboration they should collaborate again

[@시바는귀엽다]

진짜 확연히 다른 두 개성! 역대 오디션 프로그램 중에 라이브 공연이 제일 재밌었던! 앞으로 10년 뒤가 기대되는 두 명이다.. 정말 좋다... 계속 선의의 경쟁, 나아가 시너지를 발휘하는 콜라보까지 많이 해줬으면 하는 팬심^^^

[@neariah_]

Jimin is just too awesome . Love her .

[@omegaphoenix6]

Lee Hai has an excellent "Radio Voice" the moment you hear it, it's soothing and has this intensity

[@sophie-vc1kx]

jimin's high note at the end...i think my lungs just collapsed

[@vallynjoy5196]

Wow they look so baby in here but their singing is very mature and pro already

[@nopheelovely7478]

lee hi always my fav from the start! she always have original and unique voice, u can recognize her voice right the way without see her first!

[@xChrissyAnne]

Lee Hi is definitely a solo act because her voice is super unique, I can't see her in a girl group. Park Ji Min however is better suited as a main vocalist in a girl group, her voice is suited for kpop songs.

[@guiltypleashure]

lee hi is so cute seriously._.

[@mortaldevs]

JYP's facial expression is soooo priceless in every kpopstars video. hahaha very expressive. xD

[@yongseoLOVE]

jyp's facial expressions tho, never fail to distract me. lee hi, jimin jjang. tho i love lee hi more cause i'm biased, jimin is great too. they have different voice qualities but FOR ME lee hi is love woot

[@ParkVictoriaKpopper]

Lee Hi Beautiful!!!

[@nhily5887]

Lee Hi's voice fits perfectly for this song. Park Ji Min has a lovely song but I felt she couldn't pull of this song.

[@karmenlll]

stop comparing them both or preferring who, cause they are both talented and unique.

[@annavo9441]

love lee hi!!! still waiting for Park Ji Min to come back

[@kely123000]

She is part of the due that called 15& !! She is in JYP company !! ♥

[@최규호-b7r]

이건 지금 들어도 좋네 ㅎ 하이 화이팅

[@pandabear104]

After listening to this 4 or 5 times, I really admire Park Ji Min's voice. It's crystal clear, powerful, jam-packed with emotion, and consistent. Vocally, she is stronger. Lee Hi, I adore. She's gotten better and deserves the success and acclaim she is receiving. I hope Park Ji Min will also get recognition for her amazing vocals and dominate the charts. She's just so incredible.

[@babysongcau]

lee hi ♥ ji min ♥

[@이후-b3t]

지금까지 사랑받는 가수들이라 내가 다 기분이 좋네

[@summer_daze84]

To heck with lee hi and jimin, I can't get over jyp's jamming face at 1:33XD LOL No but actually..I have to say I love jimin's voice better because it has a clearer sound to it..lee hi's though is for sure more unique

[@xihe7440]

I just got into Park Jimin and Lee Hayi this year..They are great~I like they hanging out with their friends as well. Like Jimin with Mola and Got7 Straykids people, Lee Hi with iKON and other YG artists.

[@matcha28_]

Their voices together sound so good! Lee hi alto and park jimin as soprano

[@teehee.1862]

LittleMissPrincess I thought Lee Hi is a mezzo soprano? Or are they both the same thing?

[@user-rr9xm5yq4z]

letitdevourme I'd say Hi is an alto, but her vocal range is wide enough to reach that of a mezzo or even a soprano.

[@teehee.1862]

Tiffany Wong But isn't an alto a choir voice type?

[@user-rr9xm5yq4z]

+kakichoco no, SATB (and baritones and mezzos) are also used in solo singers. Think about Amy Winehouse, you won't call her a mezzo or soprano as she is definitely an alto, but you also won't call her a choir person will you?

[@mvang9202]

Lee Hi is the best!

[@KT-qp7wx]

Their voices are so freaking good. Both have different tones, but they sound so good together.

[@sitiadilah5779]

jimin is so amazing.. i love ya.. ure so talented..

[@TheRuiMartins]

Both have unique qualities as singers that in comparison would make one better than the other however, Lee Hai is much better as a complete artist. She is gorgeous, great and unique voice, very sensual and almost shy in contradiction, passionate and seems to have a sexy sense of humor as well...! I was a fan from day 1...!

[@hannah-wp7ww]

PARK JI MIN THAT ENDING WAS THE BEST EVER I CANNOT

[@Dgghjut]

Well theres no comparison between them when singing this song. They both so good and will make a good duet song. They should be in a group ;)

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

Yep. They're both really good, but also different from each other. That's why it's a great duet. If they had identical voices and styles, it wouldn't be an interesting duet. It was a good balance of equally talented singers.

[@moosim92]

하이 목소리 너무좋다

[@hajerjj]

이하이 짱

[@monikkiur300a]

LEE HI

[@HueNguyen-er5ql]

Ji Min & Hai, how a wonderful duet!!

[@cathyminmin3626]

They sounds are good. But I like jimin. Because her voice recognition is higher. And skill control is very good. The most important thing is that she has feelings, Let me into the song inside.

[@Aai22]

When you just realized this jimin here is JAMIE now😳

[@user-hk7wf9oo6q]

박지민 진짜 천재였구나 박자감리듬감발성 다 대박이다 여유까지...

[@christineumipig8972]

jimins voice is good but when i heard Hi's voice it makes the song better :) !

[@minhphuc2217]

Lee hai

[@kewalini.3368]

I think Lee Hi is the best

[@lightscameraaction1423]

I want to see this stage again especially now that their singing is much better compared to then

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

Lee Hi makes you feel like she's having a conversation with you. If you listen carefully, she makes perfectly timed inflections in each word/phrase that she sings so that you're not just passively listening to a person singing on a stage. You feel like she's talking to you & drawing you into a conversation. Putting a little rise at the end of a word that makes it sound like a question, letting a strong note suddenly go soft, so it sounds like a thoughtful pause.... Vocal artistry by Lee Hi.

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

Lee Hi always spends a lot of time thinking about the meaning of the song and she's extremely good at communicating that meaning and emotion to listeners.

[@albero-]

이거 나만 아직보나 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 개좋음 이거랑 이하이 케이티김 마마두랑

[@keigisa]

They are both amazing! I think YG & JYP should collaborate these two again

[@noidreamers]

k she was amazing back then, but somehow she lacked stage presence and her vocal sometimes were unstable... but now bam, gotta say she improved miles and i'm impressed. here's hoping yg gave her proper solo comeback this year.

[@jacketkulit]

Lee Hi's voice is soulful, and Ji Min's voice is as clear as crystal. They are unique in their own way!

[@jacksonwangslipseyessmilet120]

ohmygooshh i can't stop s commenting after hearing Jimin's voice 😍😍

[@cloudisred]

Hayi and Jimin should make a duo...

[@NataliaMoon29]

I think that BOTH are so talented and did it well in their ways, Im Team LeeHi but Jimins voice is amazing

[@jeonkookie646]

I sense some insecurity over here (or maybe its just me). Hahahaah if you look jimin closely, you can see her eyes glancing at lee hi and the judges and also with the audience. I feel like there is one. But who even cares now that they are both successful. The song is great-- beyond great-- it was PERFECTION!!!

[@wh0anonymous]

i love the contrast between these two girls, especially the sound they make in the beginning of the song. park jimin has a voice as smooth as butter, while lee hai has that soulfully raspy voice that reminds me of british singer joss stone.

[@chiechie0128]

lee hi is so pretty.. i love you hayi.. hope you will comeback soon..

[@khdkysk6553]

[@RosetteBabyJ]

Jimin has always been a vocal powerhouse.

[@kpopsparkles1613]

I still think this was the best season ever

[@musicbyastrid]

Lee Hi... I actually don't understand how a one human can be so insanely adorable without even trying.

[@TheBryCruz]

i like Ji Min's Voice but I LOVE LEE HI'S!

[@nana_ribbons]

They both work so hard and they both has beautiful voice and now they're in the same company. It's good seeing they are happy in their new company. They look so young and cute😍❤️ Jimin was lock in JYP, rarely comeback and mcing then Lee Hi she was lock in YG for their talent and now they are happy and shining brightly as a soloist 💛🌈

[@sdew8370]

They arent in same company

[@neryssau5999]

It's sad that these two didn't ultimately reach the maximum potential with the companies they signed. JYP didn't promote Jimin Park/ Jamie and Lee Hi wasn't promoted in YG. Both left those left those labels.

[@sdew8370]

They wasnt even allowed to release songs let alone potentially going to grammys. They rly wasted real singers.

[@puppiluver44]

The beginning where they introduced Hai and Jimin reminded me of pokemon.. Their voices make me melt~ ♥

[@gonglixuan]

lee hi has an attitude in her voice

[@hawayana123]

[@Mican17]

Her voice is EXCELLENT and dynamic, By characterizing her voice as merely "good" and "basic", you demonstrate laughable bias. Remember, the judges consistently rated her higher than the other singers over the course of the competition. Like minded people like myself are able to see her talent.
