Classical Vocalists React: Solji(EXID) & Doo Jinsu 'West Sky' @Duet Song Festival

[@roseoftheday582]

Before Solji became a member of EXID, she herself was a vocal trainer. Edit: It's also important to note this because it's the reason Solji is so highly respected as a vocalist in Korea, and it's in part the reason she sang how she did on the show.

[@some_Phreak]

Too bad they didn't get the back story of Solji originally being EXID's vocal trainer.

[@jaymilski]

Aaron Kepley right! So much backstory to the show and the performers that I just wanted to defend this amazing performance but I had to remember it’s a reaction from people who don’t know 😂

[@ronetv6698]

That’s why she looks like not an idol

[@mataafa5c]

didn’t know that thx

[@YSSH-ii6vl]

She wasn’t just their vocal trainer before that she was in a ballad duo with Kim Songyi called 2NB all the way back in 2006

Could you show them Solji's 'Maria' on KOMS please?

PLEASE PLEASE

Omg please that was the performance that made me stan her 😭

[@judithfrangelica6166]

Sarah E yessss pleaseeee

[@aryelb701]

Please

[@wingedkitsune6]

Haha that weird bit at the end where the number went down was a cut that Korean shows tend to do, they like replaying funny or amazing parts to show off reactions or moments from different people/groups of people.

[@peacelife]

I know it was obvious kind of stupid they didn't notice

[@dieulinh007]

loves this performance so much, their voices harmonised so well together!

[@hyunseo6690]

Please react to sohyang

[@sturdyfrog3931]

Arirang.

[@hyunjoon.watterson]

Yasssss

[@lonestarseoul]

I mean...commenting on his stage presence is a little unfair since he isn't a performer :/ Solji has been performing on stage for years so of course her stage presence is gonna be better than someone who probably hasn't done much of that. But anyway, loved the reaction as usual ^-^ Excited to see them react to more performances from this show! I'd love so see them react to Luna's performance (or any solo performance of her's tbh XD).

[@TheRam86]

agree with u. I didnt appreciate the opinion of the guy in the checkered shirt

[@hoax014]

they feel like they are already professionals. they should show themselves performing or being in a larger music company before making this reaction coz they are literally disturbing. How can they criticize this hard they are not even experienced.

[@JMBBrasil]

Jedi Master Ren How can that be unfair? He’s performing. In a competition. And that’s what them and the audience are supposed to analyze.!

[@getem7640]

@@hoax014 ummm what? You don't need to have experience to have stage presence. This is a reaction to the video and that's exactly what they did. These are classical musicians. They literally study music and are tested on these skills. You are simply unable to take constructive criticism and it shows.

[@voduybao9836]

Please react to Sohyang, any performances!!!!

[@GiGizzelle]

Voduy Bao dude yes!!!

[@skyjan9689]

First of all: James is handsome

[@tenerife_sea]

Emmi Jan yeah I'm glad he's not a tenor haha

[@bloodsports6147]

He looks average

First of all the comments filled with thirsty people and I'm one of them.

[@aaa_nyx]

Solji! 💜💜

[@elliemr5427]

i miss solji so much and i'm so proud of her i just broke up in tears when they went over 366

[@abfma9]

Gosh, I love Solji's voice. She might not be THE best but she's my personal best. Her singing makes me feel so many emotions at once, it never happens for me with other singers. I miss her soo muchhhh

[@breeobna]

Sohyang pls!!!

[@MrsJeon-lw3iy]

up

[@kmf_far_tasyafaradillahman946]

Yesssss!!!

[@burted]

Solji and Doo Jinsu had other duets that were really nice! "I miss you" and "Goodbye for a moment" were some of my favs.

[@animefean1]

Solji is actually the idol with the most appearances on singing competitions and shes by far the THE BEST vocalist that has ever existed in my opinion, she has shown countless times she can do literally anything with her power house vocals ... and btw Umu gave u this false image of her, shes was actually a vocal coach as well before she joined EXID, shes not just this ordinary star :)

[@quinnypurry]

SOLJI FIGHTING!! I miss her so much. I'm a LEGGO and we are all waiting for her return to EXID, her voice is one of my favorite in kpop. Was so nice to hear her complimented

[@MKash22]

Oh my Solji, every time I hear her voice I drop some tears, she really have one of the best female voices I've ever heard in my entire life!

[@yassin5255yy]

Do you know where i can see full version in eng sub?thanks

[@paulstanley2646]

react to so hyang arirang alone and hug me pleaseee

[@shinmulan9736]

how come you never showed them Sohyang Arirang

[@moomoomau]

Our Solji always does great on singing shows. Pls make them react to Kyuhyun, arguably one of the best male vocalist in kpop. There is a duet on fantastic duo with Lee SunHee who is a legend, so that should be a good performance to react to.

[@bluemoon2561]

M&MSayA THIS

[@beRAIme]

hope u guys do more of solji, like some of her performances on masked singer

[@MissPanda137]

Yaaaasss solji make me love this song song so much 😍 best cover ever among all kpop artist 😍😍😍😍 thanks umu for making this reaction 😘😘

[@loutheotherhuman]

I love the new reactorrsss! ≧ω≦ and speaking of reactors, I kinda miss Gwen and Hugo together hahahahah but this was sooooooo goooodddd ❤❤

[@_skykix]

Lour Baculpo lol @ 4:30 they just stare at the screen like video is paused. It brings back memories back when the reactors were new.

[@monetdreams]

Omg you definitely need to have them react to Vixx Ken and his duet partner on debut song festival, along with Sandeul cause he was legendary lol. Love you guys!

[@s.t7898]

please let them react to any of b1a4 sandeul's stages at duet song festival, they're my favourite thing ever edit: NVM i see you've added one to the "to react" playlist, thank you so much

[@s.t7898]

sandeul and sunyeong really were THAT duo, watch them go off: kzbin.info/aero/PLM2vvpeUbugSsLY3yaOkC3_nui91PjKnF

[@salinamower8759]

also liked Ken from vixx and his partners performances too ! Them and sandeul and his partner

[@vanwhh]

S. T YESS PLEASE DO SANDEUL

[@mounemuii]

Make them react to Sohyang please! Lean on Me or Bridge Troubled Over Water would be good!

[@snputri]

Yes yes thanks for introducing them to duet song!! If you can include to your schedule, please add the ep of hyorin - sofa or some of sandeul ep

[@rookay9662]

I love this performance. I’m so surprised and glad it got chosen. Also some cool background for the reactors would be that she started as a vocal trainer before becoming a singer. So it’s 2 vocal trainers kicking ass

[@franziskabaumann1839]

solji is an absolute queen and i hope we can see her sing like that again soon

[@tomhannah3825]

Really impressed with Solji! The guy was good too, maybe he doesn't have the stage presence that she does, but have a heart, she's been onstage singing for years! Nice song too, some great parts! Thanks for introducing me to yet another Korean singing show... :)

[@abky4848]

Some of their reactions showed more effort to really examine the singing to the song. It’s not supposed to be based on your taste or mood. The song is slow in tempo because it’s a very specific ballad for a movie. The arrangement is actually different from the original which was a solo. Wish you folks would investigate a bit before commenting and then focus on the technique and song. Solji has sung more songs on original King of Masked Singer (originally a Korean show not American) as a soloist.

[@janna9907]

They should react to Solji's Maria performance!

Seconds into the video and I already love it lmao ok I want them to react to Luna’s now and oh really want them to react to son seungyeon and shannon

[@a_lost_staysider]

Aiken TF for a second i was like.......sungyeon....shannon....they are the same person then i remembered shannon shannon

[@JakeReeves001]

Yesss Son Seungyeon is one of the best singers in Korea

[@peace4222]

actually Solji was a voacal teacher of all of exid memebers.she had taught all of the memebers but after ward she joined exid as a leader. but Hani,s voice is really good i think her skill is not that good as solji but her voice is really good which is underated by people.i think even hani doesnt know that. and i hope solji get better so soon.

[@rachel_caroline]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YOU HAVE NO IDEA

[@jchp121]

I think there are a ton of Duet Song Festival performances that they need to react to!! Top 3 recommendations: Solji x Doo Jin Soo - I Miss You Ken x Choi Yang Seob - Don't Go Today Na Yoon Kwon x Kim Min Sang - I am Happy They're just really interesting vocal performances! :)

[@MrPoupstar]

Please react to super junior kry. The unit that consists of sj main vocalists kyuhyun, ryeowook and yesung. They are arguably the best vocal group/unit of kpop.

¡Solji I love your voice!

[@irvy03]

I think that one girl was more concerned with reacting to her food 🤣

[@abfma9]

Also, even if they can't react to this I wanna leave one of my favs radio perfs by Solji, right by the time they hit it big with up&down (Can't leave link so url: /watch?v=jxkT5b_o6PE) 시크릿싱어 - EXID 솔지 "미아" 라이브 LIVE / 141222[이소라의 가요광장] During their up&down promos before they were everywhere, Solji was a regular on this radio show and did a number of amazing live covers. I love her voice.

[@chipb7685]

i miss solji so much she’s so talented

[@kuzushikatasuzuki882]

You could try other version of West Sky by Yeonjung and Sejeong from IOI Timeslip Concert... That's cool too

[@eunwoocha1375]

kuzushikata suzuki yeah...

[@PrincessLelouch]

Agreed. It honestly such a different sound. They definitely match each other better in terms of energy and tone, and I personally prefer it to this version.

[@JynxTheClown666]

I'm so excited for their reaction to Ken's It's Only My World, my fav duet song festival performance ever

[@gabsmoon_]

i know you already have one of B1A4 Sandeul's duet from duet song festival but in case you want to show the vocalists other things from him here are some of the performances he has won on immortal song with: I'm a Candle Before You - Lim Jae Bum's Special won with 419/500 (he choose this song because of his Aunt who died and was very close to him that supported him on his dream of becoming a singer) The Way to Live Like a Man - Kim Bum Ryong's Special (with his member Baro) Come Back to Me Again - i don't remember who's special is this one sorry but i know he won with this one Like a Dandelion Spore - Park Mi-kyung's Special (won with 421/500) Flight - Summer Spent Together with Friends special (as a duet with actor Ahn Seha) I know he has won 6 times but i don't know which one is the other one i'm sorry

[@ferdikinns2436]

OH MAN! SOOOO happy you're getting more into the singing shows, and love that you'll cover Immortal Songs, as well! I would also suggest, if I may, reacting to I Can See Your Voice performances. Since the focus is on K-Pop idols or other singers, you could react to the winners' performances, given that they're skilled singers, but I would love to see reactions to notable losers, especially because some really great lower tones have been featured.
