[C.C.] WENDY singing alone to Red Velvet's ⟪Psycho⟫

[@marlwq]

SWJA's psycho arrangement is refreshing and different.. it reminds me of Radiohead's Creep towards the end. Wendy is a really good singer, glad she went on this show!

[@julienguyen2431]

i was just about to comment the same thing! her style made me cry with how she brings out the comfort in darkness of the lyrics (not that the original doesn’t, the og is obv more bright)

[@penasetiawan1908]

I know right ❤

[@lilali9797]

i read your comment as i listened to SWJA's performance and you are SO right. especially when she strayed a bit from the original's "everything will be okay" in the bridge. it definitely made the build up all throughout the song worth it, like the character was holding everything in before letting it all explode at the end

[@chickfighter5587]

WOW that's it ! i was wondering what this eerie vibe was reminding me of and it's was of 'Creep' by Radiohead !

[@Seven_China_Policy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3e3qYZ4qayYaMk Creep 😉

[@binny_binbin]

SWJA's version, to me, is like someone talking to themselves. It's raw emotion and it's you expressing your thoughts out loud without realizing it. Wendy's version is like you're telling someone exactly what's on your mind directly. One is sticky and holds weight, and the other is pointed and cuts clean. Can't compare two singers who play different games, but what a treat to hear both! Bravo!

[@tasnimafauzia1795]

I do agree with you! SWJA is like talking to me in a musical and magical way, like the emotion hits me hard. While Wendy's version is giving a straightforward feeling and kind a more refreshing original version🙌

[@ayayayaya07]

the way she sings reminds me a lot of how billie eilish sings most of her songs, really love her rendition

[@silentloud]

very well said

[@ngyuzhenmoe978]

I’m very angry

[@Michael-mo4lj]

U really make a great opinion🎉❤

[@betamax1091]

Wendy could make it anywhere. She sings as well as anyone in the American music industry or anywhere for that matter. Hope she does more solo albums in the future.

[@riffgroove]

SM just confirmed we'll be getting another solo album from Wendy soon.

[@eyebrowstj]

@@riffgroove Best news ever!

[@riffgroove]

@@eyebrowstj Release date - March 12th. Titled "I Wish You H3ll."

[@a.l.dvorak1841]

Wendy is great, yes, but to state "she could make it anywhere" is naive. Many legit American citizens of Korean descent, idols and non-idols alike, all the way to the 1st gen, like g.o.d. Joon, the Jung sisters and Tiffany, Ailee, Jessi, and even younger ones like Eric Nam or NCT Johnny have to go back to their ancestral homeland to chance a career in the industry. Even BTS, world's current biggest act, are still called names to this day. There's talent, and there's systemic anti-Asian racism in the American music industry. That in itself is a wall too great to be broken by talent alone.

[@riffgroove]

@@a.l.dvorak1841 Exactly. Wendy was very smart. She started auditioning for Korean agencies while she still lived in Canada. It's actually staggering how many Westerners will refuse to watch even a subtitled film. Shioli Kutsuna, who played Yukio in the Deadpool 2 movie, is actually Australian. But she moved to Japan when she was 14 because she knew she would have a WAY better chance of landing roles there.

[@eiv0n]

OMAYGHADDDDD THIS VERSION IS SOOOOOOO GOODD!!!!

[@psychedelicacynical]

Wendy sang Psycho the way it was supposed to be sung. that kind of feeling when you're about to go hysterical at how crazy a relationship is, emotionally jaded and cynical, laughing at your own insanity

[@pterocardio]

I think you're missing the point of the show a bit. The whole concept of the show is to showcase how there are many ways to interpret, arrange, and perform a song. I personally prefer the original psycho arrangement over swja and even the rearranged version wendy performed here but I can still appreciate the different feelings they tried to convey through the rearrangements.

[@Ari180_RE]

im biased and still prefer Wendy's version since I typically am not big on the stylistic singing that SWJA has. But she was still a great vocalist and did justice to the song.

[@idol7833]

Even I like her version, I still prefer Wendy🥰🥰

[@nitesan2814]

She really sounds like Billie Eilish imo

[@oOLemonzOo]

Agree, SWJA is a good singer too but I'm just not the biggest fan of that style of singing.

[@fiyah__]

the way I listen to the versions : SWJA's ver is the sad side where the feeling is still new and we can do is just softly cry in the corner while trying to figure out everything that they've went through, whereas Wendy's ver is the acceptance and aftermath of everything has went down and has a clear idea that has happened. Both versions I love

[@lalalaX]

Yesss thiss!!!!

[@annejia5382]

perfectly explained ❤

[@user-y6l1owsk4y]

SWJA's arrangement and the way she sang it was so good. The emotions and just the way she delivers the song is so outstanding. The adlibs, the runs, and the way she changes the melody a bit is just so so good. You can really tell how experienced and how great of a performer she is.

[@violet_214i]

I love Wendy but I'm with you

[@callmejoanaa]

SWJA's version feels like when youre sobbing with your face covered in mascara, trying to remain calm while looking in the mirror, basically i love it

[@hina24232]

Psycho would sound perfect as a solo song or a group song too. But whenever Wendy sings it as a solo or with her group it sounds perfect becuase shes singing in it.

[@Nameless_mixes]

No matter how many covers I see of this song, nobody comes close to nailing that pre-chorus like Wendy! That section was tailor made for her! I really loved the other person’s arrangement though! It really brought out the sadness in the song while keeping the hope it encapsulates!

[@_aiborie]

SWJA might not be for everyone but man she's phenomenal. She's not just a stylistic singer, that's a storyteller right there. Not all artists can pull that off.

[@chickfighter5587]

Yeah, I happened to listen to her music and most of it has this extremely sad vibe, which you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy.

[@bmc9693]

Wendy never fails to give goosebumps to her listener, her voice is always so powerful. Her version kind of the same as the original version, but she owned it with her style.

[@alexia3552]

SWJA's version was the "down" part of the relationship, with self-hypnosis at the end. Wendy's version was the "up" part of the relationship, with that manic overtone that says "this is fine! Everything's fine!" The full Red Velvet version I feel incorporates both in a bit of a shiny package, but I loved hearing SWJA's completely raw version. It hit everyone's emotion, it was perfect.

[@hongsamwine]

I came to listen to Wendy sing psycho on her own but I’m leaving feeling heart broken all over again from swja’s version of psycho. 🥲

[@moochim1949]

I cried listening to SWJA, as always. I’ve never been in a toxic relationship but she portrays it so perfectly I felt like i was experiencing it firsthand.

[@eyebrowstj]

I love Wendy's voice so much! Love her swagger, too!

@explorer2958 I've been called an akgae for years because Wendy is my ultimate female bias in all of kpop, but I absolutely love the other members, too. I listen to all of them every day from group to solo material. Off to listen to them some more 😁😁😁

[@FunSoSoToTo]

SWJA really made me believe she's psycho. What a rendition! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING As much as I'm obsessed with kpop, many times they miss embracing raw emotions like swja did

[@tqa-stayclassic5211]

SWJA's psycho is so dark and i think it suit the lyrics. It's more torturing. I wanna hear red velvet sing this version.

[@Love-sd6st]

Hear knock knock, in & out, marrionate by redvelvet songs, that dark vibe was thick there ^^

[@bigdj29]

[@petitchaperonrouge5443]

im in love with wendy's confidence and stage presence it's like she knows that she 's slaying; the other version of psycho sounds heavenly

[@user-zh6zn5vh7q]

Wow SWJA’s performance portrayed the song so well, it really gave the lyrics life! ❤

[@violet_214i]

fr I can never unhear it

[@LuminescentQuarter]

SWJA made me cry, especially after her last psycho before the song ended, I really felt like I saw scenes flashing before my eyes.

[@RoyalRadiantJade]

Sunwoo Jung-a's version made me burst into tears. Wendy's version is so powerful. Red velvet's Psycho remains my favorite from their discography and always makes me want to dance and sing along. It was very enjoyable but I will always prefer the original and love them separately. They both have their own vibe.

[@kirozen3094]

she was so expressive with so much emotion

[@Saf1.Bowman]

Sunwoo Junga made her version personal because she admitted that she has just gotten over a relationship. Not only that while she was singing and the cameras panned into the audience you can see the faces of people that have been in a toxic relationship or knew someone that was and all the emotions came flooding back. In the lyrics to the song there is mention of people watching two lovers argue as if it was the last time they will ever be together and then make up like nothing ever happened. And when Sunwoo Junga finished the song the audience consciously did not applaud right away because they were slowly being released from the trance of the performance. You could have definitely hear a pen drop that was how quiet everyone in the studio was.

[@arirenD]

Wendy's version is seriously so good, like, cool and even more impressive than the original OT5 version. But, I kinda get why the opponent's cover got a higher score - we weren't there live in the studio, so maybe we didn't feel the same emotional experience as the audience at that moment. Still, just from this video, I can feel the emotion. She's really singing like she's telling a story about the ironic and toxic aspects of her relationship. Plus, the background she shared before singing, the gestures, and the stage setup really support the emotional vibe, making us truly feel those "psycho" vibes. SWJA trully served how psycho sinh while Wendy vers is how angel sing☺😊

[@danthedillon]

They both did great but the first one was more hearth felt and has so much layers in her version. It was so beautiful. ♥️

[@NotAvailable-pv4iy]

The most beautiful voice I've ever heard 💯❤ Wendy

[@loregomezz]

I like both versions! But when you sing with emotions it will always gives a different top notch feeling and this girl did 😊

[@Ugk871]

I think RedVelvet Psycho is the best arrangement. No overloaded. That’s why mixing engineers / producer are important. All voices are 🎉

[@uskh5]

This piece is one of my all time favourite, and I do really feel that it's officially stolen... The two versions has a different feel and for me the original is about a crazy fun youth couple, while this one draws more emotional feelings like literal slightly psycho couple who takes pleasure in crushing each other.

[@confused7970]

I've never liked any cover when i knew the original but this cover is so emotional and beautiful, it's so private like someone mentioned here in the comments "she sang psycho the way it was supposed to be"

[@everestsamoo]

still love wendy version. and i think she sings as well as anyone in the American music industry

[@udsmusic_official]

Sunwoo Junga's version is like TALKING TO MYSELF on what I want to say to my significant other while Wendy's is like *HEY LOVER WE ARE SHIT AND I'M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT*.

[@tr_in]

she has such a beautiful voice 😮

[@auriels1451]

Wow - SWJA blew me away again! Absolutely love her arrangements, singing and performance - just an and amazing artist all round! Loved her execution of this arrangement too! She really turned it into her own song and sang it with a lot of emotion - really felt like she was channelling the anecdote she talked about! Wendy as well was amazing as always too - her singing in the pre-chorus is just

[@ambershen6759]

it's so amazing

[@LazyOP123]

That is one badass singer and i got chills after hearing that.

[@sonyeolovessweaters]

Wendy's range is so craaazyyy

[@achmaddenny1979]

SWJA version is giving the real perspective of this song. It’s about toxic relationship and prolly the best to sing it this way

[@hermoine1703]

Red velvet’s psycho is the best version followed by wendy’s solo version. Red velvet’s chorus just makes it sound heavenly.

[@phileein5130]

When I listen to RV version, i feel the beat and enjoy it, and now these versions make me think and feel. It's a deeply meaningful song. I feel the lyrics.. its so beautiful. I see a numbered scene in my brain.....

[@artificialme1196]

Wendy psycho, love in funky weird way... Sunwoo psycho, love in mysterious way... Both give me 2 different view of psycho love. Love both of them

[@Hoskil7363]

I love Wendy version though

[@sydneysue125]

Love WENDY solo version. No one can sing that prechorous better than Wendy. It would be a lot better if she could add the rapping too. But defender version is shorter and it must be similar to original version so I guess she had to cut it out.

[@juliaxfr]

Wendy is the best at singing, she delivers everytime! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@alexia3552]

Dude Wendy's hair and makeup here is so insanely good, it brings out her beauty perfectly, my jaw is on the FLOOR

[@previaxxi_desu]

I love this SWJA's arrangement!!!! Her rendition of RV's track "Psycho" delves deeper into the emotional fabric, establishing stronger connections by intertwining the song's lyrics with her personal experiences in past relationships. Her rendition carries a profound sense of authenticity and depth, infused with soulful delivery. Deserving of the title "Song Stealer" without a doubt!!!!

[@AliPop]

I loved this version of Psycho and what a beautiful voice this woman has, she sings with a lot of feeling, new fan of her.

[@Brachyura]

U should watch her when she is king masked singer. Mind blowing

[@yoshakiu666]

If this were based strictly off vocals, Wendy ATE THAT UP, and I honestly think she was holding back too. SWJA gives u the feels though. Two great versions!

[@therese8406]

Loved the low notes 🔥 I didn’t know Psycho could be this super emotional 🔥

[@thisisshelbyyyy_]

Whatever happens, PSYCHO will always be iconic! Wendy's voice is very beautiful but SWJA's version really put a whole new world into the song. I really love it because I do really imagine the song in an acoustic version. So good! Edit: SWJA's version is a song of reassurance to her lover, that no matter what other people say, they will be okay and will stay the same. She'll love him no matter what and she loves the way they are. She wishes that nothing would change. On the other hand, Wendy's - the original, is like a martyr's song. Although she is hurt and he makes her crazy, she will stay. No matter how it hurts.

[@cangellejuliano7987]

I was literally having goosebumps the whole time SWJA was singing. Chef's kiss. Omg.

[@Nadzirah90]

Sunwoo Junga omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg thats really a story telling to us

[@chetrasok3336]

SWJA's version felt so intimate to me. It felt like she was talking to me as if I was her partner. It's like that last meeting where we were breaking up and telling each other how toxic our relationship had been. Wendy's version was more like she was telling me about her psychotic past relationship. I don't have to describe it anymore cuz we all know Wendy is incredible~ To me, they should be 2 different songs that can exist at the same time.

[@oneoftherandompersoninYT]

Wendy fitted the band arrangement more. Her tone is just beautiful and notes are well supported.

[@BlackFreefall]

I love Wendy, and i think her vocal is phenomenal. I have to give this to Sunwoo Jung-a. The emotion, and the arrangement truly bring out the lyric to life.

[@saliha23]

You can see the Wendy’s quality. She is so damn good. I wish SM sees that too.

[@hereliesmyreputation2559]

First listen and I think SWJA did an AWESOME job and justice to an already amazing song

[@tofuuu1229]

Wendy's version I think was arrange in a way that will highlight her vocal techniques and power and was arranged a bit different from the original to give a new flavor to the song. She executed the song very clean. While Sunwoo Jung Ah's version arrangement I think focused more on the lyrics and the message of the song. It created a more emotional vibe from the start where she sang in low note to make it feel like she was trying to hold back her emotions then after the chorus she suddenly burst every emotion like psycho which is the song itself. I really liked the built up like almost she was story telling. Vocal technique wise I do think that Wendy did a cleaner job but arrangement wise SWJA's reinterpretation of the song was on another level

[@rossyyaris363]

Wendy Unnie is the Queen 🛐🛐🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marie_nicolas]

Wendy did an amazing job elevating the song psycho and if the competition is her vs the red velvet version then she'll definitely steal it hence swja also said it's the Wendy version the one she wants to steal at the end 🤣 but between swja and the red velvet version no bias imo is at the same level

[@ausprey66]

I think SWJA and Wendy have such great chemistry between them and I loved just how different they sang the same song. I could see Wendy doing more soulful and acoustic interpretations of Red Velvet songs. I feel her company limits her, due to branding/ marketing of Wendy. I hope, as she matures, she can express these same types of feelings more in her singing style. Wish You Hell seems to point that way.❤❤

[@parkdaler01]

Covering a Song is like putting your own feelings into the lyrics that you identify with. But something had to make you feel those emotions in the 1st place. You can't re-paint the Mona Lisa. It is there for everyone to see. Or hear.

She looked so nervous.. but I don't know why because omfg Psycho performance was so damn good! Just all high notes and epicness! Wendy👑 Honestly I don't consider it stolen nonono

[@playamelodythateverybodyknows]

wendy's high note falsetto whatever that called is in psycho is just too iconic😅, this cover is nice too but sounds like karaoke

"sounds like karaoke"... The arrangement is way different? And her approach is WAY different too? I like the original version better too, but lets be real here LOL

[@playamelodythateverybodyknows]

@@bluishviolett her singing sounds karaoke not the arrangement, her voice is picky with songs and this song doesnt suit her voice thus sounds like someone is singing in a karaoke...just my opinion 😊

[@relaxcalmly1742]

I love the cover version. She’s very technical and stylistically different and it is jazzy vibe. It definitely doesn’t sound karaoke and normal people who goes karaoke doesn’t really sing seriously with amazing control like that. Her choices were intentional. I love both differently depending on my mood.

[@lalalaX]

The way i see it is that SWJA’s version is still sad about the overall relationship she is having with the other person, but can’t let go of this person, her line would be “i like you too much to let go of this situation” . As for Wendy’s version, she accepted the whole situation and isn’t too sad rather okay with the whole situation she is on with the other person… more like “if you are a psycho, i am the same”

To me, SJWA's version was about someone who is in an abvsive relationship, being gaslight by their partner, but not being able to break away from them. They're telling themselves they're going to be ok.
