THE BOYS : LIVE OR LIPSYNC? (Taeyeon • Jessica • Seohyun) | Girls' Generation

[@divadream]

Can you spot where Jessica accidentally sang the English version for a few seconds?

[@blue.Nina426]

Yes in SMTOWN in Japan 😂😂

As 15 years SONE I will tell you a little hint how to tell whether they're doing live or not. It's the eyebrow. Especially Taeyeon, Jessica and Seohyun they have some strain on their inner eyebrow when they are really singing live. Also of course because I listened to their studio version a lot so I can tell what's different in live version.

[@danxcarvalho]

true. i know when taeyeon is singing just look at the eyebrows.

[@blue.Nina426]

To me Seohyun is an excellent vocalist. She deserves her place as main vocalist to me after Sica’s departure (even if it’s not official) but I am amazed by her technique.

[@fanmev1687]

Yes i agree. And she’s consistent too and not afraid to challenge herself in terms of vocals

[@divadream]

Seohyun is such a gem!! Even though there isn’t anyone who can sing as high as Jessica, Seo really tried to pay homage to Jess in delivery without imitiating her.

[@divadream]

+ even though Jess has more vocal talent and ability (what you’re born with), I would say Seo has proved herself just as legitimately in technique and skill.

[@arafadhwang4119]

Her vocals improve a lot since debut

[@alexblack4048]

She was the first and original lead vocalist(tiff and sunny were changed to lead vocal during genie i think) for a reason, she only went up from that

[@itgetsworse601]

Seohyun the ever consistent queen, she sings like her life depends on it each live. SNSD's vocal line is unrivaled considering how many lives they do during promotions and tours.

[@fanmev1687]

Omg I’m obsessed with Jessica’s vocal runs! Her vocal agility thoo ❤

[@blue.Nina426]

Sica’s high note is so hard to sing 💖

[@fanmev1687]

And it’s difficult to phrased each word with that high notes

[@divadream]

It's an F#5 which is the same highest note that Tae and Seo do in Twinkle! I love their power but Jess hits it in the studio with such ease like it's nothing 😂🥰 I get why live it was heavily backed up though - it's unrealistic to expect that after such an intense choreo like The Boys, especially with all the leg work in the bridge/dance break.

[@babae6598]

@@divadream not just bcos of the choreo tho but you really lose your breath by singing it 4x. The line is too long and you barely can breath in between. It may have the same note as Tae but belting is easier than hitting something while barely breathing esp the pronunciation of "girls" and "boys" in the last part is very difficult - Girls is a closed vowel and Boys cant be pronounced sa "BAys" which is usually the trick in belting, changing vowels in high notes to AH or OW

[@berceuse9620]

​@@divadream and fhe fact that she barely has time to get in a good breath,the vowel is closed and its just not one F#

[@devstruction]

@@berceuse9620 not to mention the fact that it’s literally an F#5, that’s high as shit….

[@jgaarci]

i really like how she changed the key at 5:05 imo it sounds better

[@ddolo12]

She didnt change the key, she just add an extra note that is within the complimentary harmony of the key register

[@huhuhuhurricanestreamwow7937]

8:29 When jessica gets out of the sweet/britney-like style voice she sounds so powerful not only vocally but energy wise. It's nice to see that since her chinese debut she seems to have found her own path with her voice.

[@dennisvillaflor3359]

There a reason why she sometimes sound like taeyeon

11:34 is genuinely impressive!

[@annejia5382]

aside from the eyebrow thing in the comments, there's also the movement of taeyeon's skin around her lips or at the edge of her lips. If you can see her mouthing it not in a very commercial ad-like smile/mouth movement, then it's probably live. her lips would sometimes move differently with a certain aggression during lives and the skin around her lips would do something simialr to the eyebrow twitching 😂❤ and sometimes you could just tell that's it's live with the intensity of how much she's enjoying the performance. Taeyeon's lipsync can be very telling, Jessica's lipsync are usually very obvious (she would sometimes have that same lip movement aggression like taeyeon during lives) and Seohyun's lipsync are usually the tricky ones because we all know the consistency on her voice. ❤

[@edesmmber2919]

That's our forever and ever multitalented golden Maknae Seohyun 👏 a very outstanding artist, idol actress and person she's versatile and iconic one as the unnies says she's the one and only pride of SNSD 🥰 she prove her best to all of us ... Underrated so proud of you Maknae 💖 Seohyun as the harmonization queen and also sometimes she's backing or supporting the highnote of Taeyeon and Jessica as you can see in the video and as what they said Seohyun did that💗

[@justa-qw8kv]

Hello to everyone who say Jessica has never ever sang Girls Bring the Boys Out high note (F#5?) live.

[@annejia5382]

a fitting and funny ending/outro for this video would have been jessica's on-repeat way to go line 😂❤

[@nheinhei1975]

I'm addicted to Sica's voice

[@HadiahDaripadaHati25]

It's interesting how they only dubbed Taeyeon and a bit of Seohyun for the DVD lol

[@divadream]

A lot more is dubbed, especially Tiffany! It was all recorded after 9/30 though

[@arethasD6belt]

In Jessica 3 I REALLY prefer how it sounds without all thoae addes layers of harmonies and vocals.

[@jtvoriginals]

Seohyun was the most underrated among Tae, Jess and Fanny. But her vocals was really impressive.

[@babae6598]

Prob back then but post 2014, shes being overrated. Like she had a good jump in technique but she's still not better than Jess yet sones keep on ranking her 2nd since they are claiming Jessica had a regressed when Amin and legit kpop vocal analysts (not the tiktokers) have confirmed several times that they are just equal since both issues are consistency. Hence, if we will compare them it should be by their best and they have confirmed that Jessica's best>Seohyun's best. But as of now, they are still equal.

[@piscesboo961]

tiffany can’t reach high notes bfr

[@firsttt1122]

​@@babae6598Both almost equal, but Jess still has better vocal composition than Seo. Her placement is better than Seo, sometimes even better than Taeyeon. Her low notes better than Seo, her higher register too. The only one better than Jess is Taeyeon.

I can hear Taeyeons vocal cords strain because her note is hard to it, but you also need to sing a high note before to prepare for that note @.@
