Queen Sunny should've gotten more opportunities, i really like her voice

[@jamesrawlins735]

The irony is Sunny did not like her voice in SNSD songs. According to her, the producers wanted a certain style from Sunny in their songs. "I'm not sure what I like and what I should do, since I was always part of a team. In the team, I was always like the MSG in food. Producers wanted something from me that matched the team's style, and that was an artificial kind of voice. When I sang normally, they didn't like it, and my self-esteem fell drastically."

[@TheCottonCandy707]

​@@jamesrawlins735 is her actual voice not that high?

[@jamesrawlins735]

I think Sunny sings much softer and less nasally. I've actually heard her sing in her normal voice and it is quite a bit different. I think she can hit notes that high, but she's not comfortable doing so.@@TheCottonCandy707

[@hexagonalc5703]

Seohyun has consistent support of head voice at Eb5/E5. If you can give NN’s support head voice, Seohyun deserves too. Also, NN’s mixed is C5/C#5 though.

[@kylieyu5138]

I’m not even surprised that Lina and Luna can belt the highest in this list. lina remains my fave female vocalist till this day.

[@Hyxnjxn]

I don’t know where the creator of the video got their information but Luna definitely can’t belt the highest. Wendy’s vocal range alone starts at c#3 and goes as far as Eb7 in the 7th octave (whistle notes) giving her a 4 octave 1 semitone range where Luna only has a 3 octave 1 semitone range. Luna tends to lacks consistency in support with notes E5 and above. The creator of this video definitely didn’t do their research because Wendy has shown supported live belts in head voice up G6 and Bb5.

[@frozen_yyoghurt]

​@@Hyxnjxnbelts and head voice aren't even the same thing..what are you even saying

[@gabrieloshiro2104]

​@@HyxnjxnThis video isn't about who belts the highest, but who supports fhs highest.

[@chrissyalapo-calg9748]

@@Hyxnjxn bro that's embarassing, singing in head voice is not the same thing as belting, and Luna actually has a better head voice than Wendy, with consistency in Bb5, while Wendy might have shown some Bb5, she isn't consistent as she is with A5 and hasn't had many opportunities to sing higher than that. And Luna's consistent with belting above D5 with support, while Wendy's D5s can be hit or miss sometimes even though she has greater ease belting above that than all the other vocalists in this video apart from Luna and Lina

[@patyIIa]

why didn't you mention wendy? the three of them supported the same note:/

[@carlosmanuelflores3185]

Luna and Sunny are so underrated

[@ximenaortiz3416]

Totalmente de acuerdo 😢

[@jamesrawlins735]

The thing with Sunny is she didn't like how she was forced to sing on SNSD songs. The producers didn't like her normal singing voice and had her sing in what she described as an artificial voice. She felt like she was the MSG of the group and when they would criticize her her self esteem suffered. It's probably a big reason why she really didn't have a solo career as a singer.

Most of these weren’t belts nor supported. There are better examples from most of these singers of live, higher, and supported belts. Watch more recording behinds

[@V3nelope]

Dang aespa rv and snsd vocals r crazyy

[@inimmz]

some of these arent belting, its more like a strong head voice

[@WinniePooh33]

True.

[@mingisfixon6452]

Its called mixed voice. It's actually grounded in the chest voice, like belting, but mix can get very light with the sound and feeling in a singer's voice depending on their placement. Belting and mixing lay in the same place in a singers voice and both require similar foundations. More skilled singers can choose to sing a note with a belt, heavy mix, balanced mix, or a light mix. For Sopranos, it's not possible to do a true belt at E5 and above as the technique is too heavy for the voice to cary that high. What they do is called a mix belt (if not just straight up mixing) and they can do this with a heavy mix (risky) and a balanced mix. Sunny and NingNing r examples of the light mix being used, and everyone who did the E5 are using mixes their respective clips, except Luna, who is doing a mixed belt. The techniques sound super similar but aren't worth obsessing over unless ur gonna perform the notes urself. Also strong head voice sounds different from a mix. It's likely to sound more operatic.

[@inimmz]

@@mingisfixon6452 i know, im a trained singer. im saying that a lot of these arent mix voice, they arent belting, theyre just strong head voice

[@mingisfixon6452]

@inimmz The only argument for that I can see is Sunny's clip, and that's it. All other clips r mixed voice or belting

[@alternative_pinay8801]

Zhang Liyin Vocal analysis Supported Range : G3~D5~G5 At best : G3~E5~G5 Pros : • Support Could be lower than G3 and higher than G5 based on her singing technique • Mixing her voice pretty good up to F#5 • Great agility can be present (could be better than Tae's) • Resonance can be present up to C#5 Cons : • Belting could be so heady even on her supported range • Inconsistent resonance (bad vowel shaping) • Barely present thin head voice

[@hotissue4948]

Tbh Bada could be higher than Wendy on her best day (non stylistic), nowadays she can get messy above C#5/D5
