[@gustavotozzo]

I have been a singer (and dancer) for most of my life, but I have learned a great deal from you, Tara, from your commentaries on these reactions. Thank you!

[@tommccarthy3052]

@Tara Simon Studios - outside of the analysis of the technique/technical side of the performance, do you have any thoughts on - when covering a song - leaving out a part of the song (in this case the "Sail on silver girl" section, which - for me - is a crucial part of the story of the song)? I can appreciate her execution of the song on that pure level as it relates to your analysis, but where do the lyrics fit in as an integral part of the song (if we are looking at covering a song as a "reading" of sorts)? The Art Garfunkle performance of the song is so delicate, this is pure torch song (to me anyway).

[@javierbrenes8220]

vieja burlista, como si usted no hiciera jestos estupidos

[@oahuhawaii2141]

@tommccarthy3052: I read somewhere that Paul Simon wrote 2 verses for the song, and his music producer or manager told him to add a 3rd verse. He admits it's a weaker verse, as it was added to extend and close out the song.

[@cassiewinters331]

Her voice is a literal angel. The fact she sings for passion, love, and faith over fame is beautiful

[@markhansen7998]

The Korean people take their music seriously...their production quality is second to none.

[@youthsonamisson2937]

Totally agree with you.

[@hong-gyuseong8897]

As a Korean, I agree with you 100 %

[@CelestialVoice-SH]

Sohyang is the only singer who truly touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes whenever she sings. The raw emotion she expresses in her performances comes straight from the depths of her heart. What captivates me the most about her as an artist is that she is not driven by a desire for fame and wealth. Her main motivation to sing is rooted in her genuine wish to offer comfort and solace to those who are in need of it. Her voice has the power to move souls and provide a sense of relief to those going through difficult times. It's evident that she pours her heart and soul into every song, and that authenticity shines through in her performances. Sohyang's dedication to using her talent for a noble purpose, rather than just seeking personal gain, is truly admirable. She possesses a unique gift of connecting with her audience on a deep emotional level, leaving a lasting impact with her music. The sincerity in her voice and the passion she exudes during each performance are nothing short of mesmerizing. Her humility and genuine desire to make a positive impact on others set her apart from many other artists in the industry. As a fan, I find immense comfort and inspiration in witnessing Sohyang's heartfelt performances. She not only showcases her extraordinary vocal abilities but also touches the lives of her listeners with her profound dedication to spreading emotional healing through her art. It is rare to come across an artist who prioritizes the well-being of others and uses her talent as a medium of compassion and empathy. In a world where the pursuit of fame and fortune often takes precedence, Sohyang's commitment to singing from the heart and offering comfort to those in need serves as a shining example of how music can be a powerful force for good. Her selflessness and passion make her an exceptional artist, and I am truly grateful for the beauty and solace she brings into this world through her music.

It's a long time ago, but I even watched it a few times, but I think it's the best reaction video that combines everything from professionalism, skills, and fun among Soyang reactions. The quality of the video is also the best

I have to say, I’ve watched a lot of reactors/vocal coaches react to this performance but none explained it as you do. You are so good. I love how to analyzed this. Great video

[@항산항심]

당신이 진짜 프로군요. 감상평 잘 들었습니다. 멋집니다.

[@akanecortich8197]

there would not be a singer in the world that works harder, thinks harder, studies harder than So Hyang Her performances are no accident. They come after tons and tons of practice, worrying, thinking etc.... so when she gets on stage - she is more at ease and relaxed than when off stage. She did say she feels at home on stage, and nervous off.

[@kpopx21xtim]

Your reactions are so perfect. New subscriber. Ive seen a lot of reactions to Sohyangs videos, and none of them are detailed as yours. As a singer myself, your analysis to these videos also helps me as well, since im trying to get my vocal range better. So your teachings also helps me during these videos. So thank you very much!

[@Tarasimonstudios]

Thanks love! I’m so happy to hear that we have helped you on your vocal journey! 🙏🏻🥰

[@moon3817]

She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals and meticulous control. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and singers like Seth Riggs and Michael Bolton.

Most beautiful singing and arrangement of this song ever. Simon & Garfunkel would tear with joy hearing this. Wow!

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Can’t believe I’ve never seen her sing. I lived in Seoul for 7years and my wife and I used to always watch those shows. How did this slip by me?

[@justkorea-c3h]

내가 그녀가 노래하는 것을 본 적이 없다니 믿을 수 없다. 나는 서울에서 7년간 살았고 아내와 나는 항상 그 쇼들을 보곤 했다. 어떻게 내가 이걸 놓쳤지?

[@rogercook8277]

I have never considered myself as a singer. I am a songwriter. I sing good enough to get it across to the person I choose to demo my songs. If I took lessons from you, I could learn a lot. I love how you break it down. When Paul Simon wrote the lyrics to this song, he only wrote 2 versus in the beginning. Garfunkel felt the song was to short, so Simon wrote a 3rd verse upon his request. I know they never dreamed that a singer like So Hyang would take it to places that it had never been before. God be the glory.

I really enjoyed your commentary here. I love So Hyang so much, and usually when vocal teachers react to her, they try to pick her apart too much or prove that they can do everything she can. You were not like that at all! Very insightful and I can tell you’re extremely talented at what you do. I haven’t sang in years but I would love to take a lesson with you!

[@Adam-oe4te]

Thanks so much for being patient with us! There were times when I'd request that I would worry if I was requesting too much. Thanks for reacting to this Tara! You're videos always have little nuggets of knowledge that are so helpful. I appreciate the work you do and as I said before. Even in future videos I only comment a request for a performance, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the time it takes for you to make these reactions. Thanks again!

Dear Tara: As a cancer survivor and Christian, SoHyang's musical roots are firmly grounded in Gospel Music. A lovely person as well as a wonderful talent. I thoroughly enjoyed your analysis and reaction to her performances. Still, there are two performances that I believe are certainly worth you time to review. "Everyone" link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmbIaICGp8pqn7s as well as "For Thousand Days" link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJaXgJ6fbLqWe8k , the latter is a duet with a singer called "The One." Both performances are emotionally powerful and an absolute delight.

[@sliderjock8121]

So informative, how you can dissect the techniques used by these singers who have trained to bridge their appagias so flawlessly--you're a gold mine, Tara; so fortunate to have you as a vocal resource, and you're always so semi-detached and professional, so you can educate us. But here's a challenge, affectionately thrown at your "emotion control center": react to Sohang's "HUG ME", live at the DMC Festival, 2018, WITHOUT ANY STOPS (haven't heard of any strikes and the "MBCkpop" channel upload has been up almost 8 months). THEN, after you recover, share your thoughts/critiques. The lyrics are those of a woman whose relationship with the love of her life has crashed and she can't stop herself from desperately pleading for him to reconsider. But she's sees it just isn't in him, any more, to love her. So, she chokes out one last plea, before he walks away--"Just hug me....." (Copy and paste this YT link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZXOp3SOZ7Rql7c) or just search "Sohyang 'Hug Me' DMC Festival 2018) WARNING, coach--have a box of tissues close by, just in case she opens the floodgates by ripping the "professional detachment" veneer right off your face! :) Hugs (sorry, couldn't resist).
