Who is your fave? Who would you put together in one group? In part two of this video I will check the rest of the voice and will arrange VCHA blind - without knowing how JYP decided. :) If you would like to check out my course: Basics of K-pop singing, make sure to subscribe here: www.katriinka.com/newcourse

[@nee306]

the perfect lineup for me wouldve been: Gina, Kaylee, Camila, Lexus, KG, Savanna and Melissa (who sadly wasnt even able to appear in the bootcamp episodes) i got nothing against kendall at all, i js think she mostly got picked cause of visual. Which is common in survival shows. And im still in shock that Gina didnt make it, no doubt she wouldve finished this group perfectly

[@blvemaze]

@@nee306 The character evaluation in A2K was crucial to be able to debut and be part of the final lineup, if Kendall didn’t receive so many votes she would’ve probably be eliminated together with Cristina and Gina. But that’s one thing you have to reflect on : Kendall has received the most stickers together with Lexus by trainers! They know how much potential Kendall has and how much she improved. The only problem i think is that she’s a lil unstable but her tone and voice colour are so nice.

[@blvemaze]

My favs are probably Camila and Savanna!

[@relaxcalmly1742]

Vocal-wise, in order, it’s Camila, Melissa, Kaylee, Kaylee, KG, Kendall. These are the girls who are the better singers. The others are stronger as dancers but got better through the end after some training. Just talking about vocals here since you’re a vocal coach.

[@john15photo]

They have progressed greatly down the line. This is at a very early stage. Some weak at vocals became strong and some weak at dancing became strong there. This is not a totally accurate indication of their trajectory. And trajectory is a very big thing in this series.

[@RoseAllDayyy]

I recommend you check out KG’s version of Leanne Rimes’ Blue later on in the show. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I don’t like country usually but it’s almost a crime she didn’t go down the country genre.

[@keeptaiwanfree]

just thinking of her cover of Blue gives me the chills, she absolutely owned that performance and honestly it makes me sad too that she won’t be singing country music like that. it feels almost like a waste for her voice to be used in short lines in k-pop songs haha :’) but at least she slays the high notes

[@nabi5864]

Im Korean, and the older kids plus young adults are not into Kpop here … we instead gravitate towards K-Indie music… if KG learned some Korean and sang country in Korean , she’d be a big hit here

[@ddhika7332]

Lol.. I thought that performance are the worst performance of KG, but maybe its hugely because I never like a "real" country music, I only like pop music that get some influence from country, like Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Jewel etc..

[@Basementcheese]

@@ddhika7332so basically you have common basic mainstream taste in music

[@justcere]

upp

[@M1zzF]

JYP knows that he's dealing with teens, who are still kids, in essence, so he has to be careful to mix praise with critique. As he said before, he is not looking for perfection. He is looking for talents who are willing to be trained, those who are can grasp the lessons fast and yet, still maintain good character/personality. I think this is why JYP talents stand out also because of their great personalities, aside from their talent.

[@maiherojj]

So true. I agree with you.

[@tenzintulotsang1953]

yeah everyone talks about kendall being a rly bad singer and tbh right now she does make more mistakes then ppl who didn't debut BUT she does have the potential as well as a voice that's still very raw (no bad habits that you have to unlearn)

He has a growth oriented, learn as you go mindset. YG has the opposite approach and won't debut until everything is perfect. He releases music sparingly because he's focused on the final product.

[@jessicadesmarais9256]

Yea she was probably my favorite singer of all the girls shown auditioning. Sad thing is every time I read comments there was a lot of negativity towards her, or at least not wanting her to debut, maybe because of her dancing? I thought her and KG had the most unique voices of the bunch.

[@Nopebrbra]

​@@navaehwilliams-rw4zxnope not kg

[@Frozzter]

Her tone is so good

[@blvemaze]

8:41 probably it’s because jyp is trying to create a global kpop/pop group, and if she uses her “country” voice she’s going to stand out too much when they’re all signing together, when in a group they’re supposed to “blend” their voices. But for sure her voice is very unique and hopefully they’ll release unit or solo tracks where she can use it!

[@Katriinka]

I see. I honestly do not thing twang is only connected to country so I do not mind it, but I see it can clash in group sound. I am looking forward to see how they blended the voice in the end. I will do my own arrangement haha

[@DRUtastic]

@@KatriinkaI think it also has to do to with culture. In KG’s audition she was great but she had the typical Indie girl with a guitar voice. JYP said he wanted her to lose that. My guess he was thinking it wouldn’t go over well in Korea. Not that it isn’t great, she was awesome, but they have a standard to what voices should sound like. I’m hoping as the group gains more popularity all of the members can let there originality shine more.

[@SYDDOS]

Blend voices? Have you heard Harvey's voice in the XG girl group?

[@yaaaan6763]

@@SYDDOS Well, in Harvey's case she's mostly rapping so her unique tone is actually a charming point as a rapper. The more unique your voice/tone is, the better (ofc, you gotta have good rhythm as well) but in terms of vocals especially in a group that's a different matter. I dunno if you know this but I remember Somi mentioned before how she had that problem. She kept getting feedback that her natural tone stands out too much to the point she was always forced to tone it down or something (her voice is more nasal, high pitch). Up till now I actually think that's part of her decision to leave JYP and debut as a soloist instead, she was supposed to debut with ITZY.

[@mimi5769]

Melissa left the show on her own and is now working as a soloist, she's fantastic

She has no clue this is a k-pop audition. She is in the dark why country song twang is not welcome in this audition.

[@aur1_]

@ginapark9902 Even tho she doesn't know, it's absolutely OK for her to say that she likes it and that she wouldn't make the girl change it. (It's a personal opinion after all) Besides, All singing techniques are used to convey certain styles and feelings, if JYP doesn't want them it's OK to ask for his groups to not use it. And so, it's OK for us to 'wish' that wouldn't be the case. ✌🏻

Thank you. This is really interessting to see. Especially because most people say JYP is too nice to Kendell (singer 2) and you defended her. It will help some people to see where the girls stand.

[@relaxcalmly1742]

Yes she defended her but she also disagrees on the technical parts of Kendall’s voice which a lot of people are with. And some people are mean but there are some who are just honest but people who love kendall will still take it as hate if they disagree. This is just constructive criticism. Kendall is one of my biases too and i do not dislike her.

[@keeptaiwanfree]

@@relaxcalmly1742Exactly, I’m pretty annoyed with people who are upset that we are giving kendall constructive criticism. just because we’re criticising someone doesn’t mean we’re hating them or even dislike them?? I had an issue with JYP always calling kendall’s vocals “PERFECT!” bc they were… far from perfect. By lying to her, he doesn’t even allow her to improve at a normal rate and that’s why she ended up sounding worse during her final performance too (but who cares, we all knew jyp would still pick her because he finds her charming or whatever.) I also just think the favouritism is unfair to other contestants, but I digress.

[@aniki3856]

​@@relaxcalmly1742depends on who you see So far I've not seen that much constructive criticism and mostly only hate PPL saying her voice is bad (some giving opinios while some hating outright), her singing is worst out of them and stuff like that. They are not judging but just hating cuz their favs weren't praised. Like I said mostly hate and only some giving criticism saying that her vocals won't improve if jyp only praises her.

​@@relaxcalmly1742imagine if kendall was so good than Gina and jyp pick Gina imagine how she and her fans and the audience would be. Kendall apart from Yuna dnt think she has the best among the other members she is just there even the facial expression he is talking abt for gina Kendall has only one facial expression. He is clearly biased in all honesty and the problem is that he did not even tell her mistakes if he was told her the mistakes we would have improved we the audience are the only ones speaking the truth.

[@relaxcalmly1742]

@@aniki3856 I see those comments too. Those are mean comments. They are upset when there are unfairness. I’m not excusing their behaviors and do not condone it. However, when people say things like “Lexus sound better than Kendall on this part____… and JYP doesn’t even acknowledge it” or “she sounds weak and voice cracks on that part” they are comparing out of unfairness or out of constructive criticism if it is true. It’s when they say “she sucks” or “i hate her voice” or “her voice is ugly,” that’s disrespectful and rude. Those are straight up just criticism and doesn’t do anyone good. They’re a team, so we should just support them equally as one so they can be a strong team. Anyone can have their biases but don’t make enemies with fans of one team. I admire them all individually and they have their own uniqueness and strengths.

[@arianeac3080]

Very interesting! I’d like to see part 2 with the other contestants

[@anistardi]

For Kpop, vocal technique no need to be very good, but good enough. Of course how minimal skill is subjective. Kpop group need to dance and sometimes dancing while singing. It is different skill. Usually "the voice kids" contestants have better vocal technique than debuted kpop group. Like you said, don't give songs that a kid do not understand. In these contest, Gina failed because she can only express a happy song. Everyone have different age to be mature mentally.

Wow, I’ve watched the whole series, and going back and seeing this, I almost feel like Kendall regressed throughout the competition? Her sounds stronger here

[@StanChunghaOrGoHome]

She regressed because JYP didn’t encourage her to work more on her vocals. He kept telling her she was great in every round. JYP sabotaged her vocally I think through his favouritism.

[@areanaangel8964]

Kendall's singing was better than I remember and Kaylee's was less strong. The only thing I remember were droves of people saying Kendall was soooo bad and couldn't sing at all and Kaylee deserved the stone. And a TON of "justice for Kaylee" comments. Listening to Kaylee's performance again, this is actually not how I remembered it. I think because of the sheer volume of comments in the beginning saying Kendall couldn't sing at all and this was an awful performance. I came back expecting it to be awful but it turned out to be not bad and to have some strengths and parts that were good!

[@areanaangel8964]

She actually improved with Wannabe and was able to use her chest voice. She sounds fab hitting that note. I've replayed it so many times. Lol. She improved again with 24 hours with a slower dance. Once they started giving her dances with fast, hard choreography, that's when she sounded worse because she was the most unstable contestant. There were only two times when she sounded really bad but for some reason, people only remember those. Lol. The first was when she recorded that 1 line for the outro song. She was given that line to sing for the first time and it sounded really bad in comparison to KG, Camilla and Kaylee (main and lead vocalists). In the studio version, she sounds MUCH better. ALSO, when NO ONE knew it was Kendall singing that last line, the line sounded OK and no one had an issue. AFTER finding out it was Kendall, suddenly people were saying the last voice in the outro sounds not as good as other people's. Dude, we've all heard the outro every episode and no one ever said that the person who sings the last line is bad. No one critiqued the last singer's voice until they found out it was Kendall LOL. Her first performance with that last stage was bad because she was unstable due to hard choreography. In the LA performance here, she didn't dance. Watch her performances now after the pre-debut stages. She's actually the most stable she's ever been so she did improve.

[@parisortiz8731]

Well also here she’s just standing and singing but in the other performances she’s dancing too.

[@pipu.m]

Kendall is JYPs favorite thats why she praised her so much

[@LeonaDiCarryo]

I really enjoyed this video. I usually watch your reactions to already established artists, where a lot of the time is spent explaining why they sound so good, and what techniques they use, to enhance their sound and performance. So watching this, where you instead critique some more obvious flaws and explain what causes them, is an interesting change, which also doesn't stray too much away from what I think your audience likes from your channel, AKA your in depth vocal knowledge. I would love to see more like this ^_^

[@cat-tc2kk]

Your point about these teenagers not having the right songs to sing is so true, they really won't empathise with a mature "scorned woman." I think JYP gave them a list of songs that the contestants could choose from so alas this is what happened :/

To choose Kpop artists 60% is about their dance/physical capabilities and the other 40% is half about their visuals/charisma and half about their singing/rapping. There are many members who debut without great singing skills because they are rappers or main dancers, the company gives them vocal lessons while they are already an established group

It was just a coincidence that I saw VCHA's music video as an ad and I was really surprised and confused as to who they are cause I saw there were foreign members but it felt like a kpop production so I searched them up. I remember being drawn to Camila right on my first watch of that MV cause of her vocal tone. I've not really been active on social media these past months cause I was busy as a graduating student so it was a pleasant surprise when I found out they are under JYP. I was just about to start watching the whole show when I saw this video, technically I'm spoiling myself but I have no regrets cause I feel like this just gave me a new, more open perspective on the girls' potential and skill as I watch the show.

[@onceuponamelody]

I think, for the song choices, they only had a handful of songs to choose from for this episode. Idk who chose the songs, (probably JYP because they seem like songs he likes), but I agree that they aren't really appropriate for this age group to sing.

[@syukotsuwolf9653]

JYP has very specific tastes when it comes to singing. You see it in Sixteen (the show that put Twice together), in K-Pop Star (another idol audition show), and other shows he's a judge for. That's why he wants KG to take out the twang. He doesn't like it, and a number of other kpop companies don't like it either.

[@Kim-yq6ku]

That's a very accurate explanation. omg ~

[@night_sky_hope]

Definetely want to see a part 2. I am neither a singer nor a professional but even I could observe how much those girls progressed from performance to performance until their predebut songs were released a few days ago. So I am really curious what is your opinion as a professional about their progress. They also continued to train for another 3 months from the moment the final line-up was chosen until those songs were released. JYP is also preparing a Japanese Boy Group now if you are interested, those boys are also extremely talented. The first part where they were chosen to go to Seoul ended a few days ago. And it was overall really impressive. The show is called Nizi Project Season 2. Through the first season was created their Japanese girl group NiziU. And because of their success, JYP decided to make a season 2 for boys and do A2K. PS: You will not see Melissa in the Seoul BootCamp because she chose to leave the show for personal reasons. She still releases songs and speaks with the fans on her social media. At some point, she mentioned that when she was little she had surgery because of which she lost part of her flexibility which makes it harder for her to dance. But she still continues to work on this to be better at dancing. I suppose this could be a reason which she decided to leave the show, but this is just my speculation. Also, one thing extremely important for JYP, he mentions in every show he has, is the character and attitude (the way they treat the staff, their colleagues, the trainers, how much they wish to continue with this). This is much more important for him than the skills. And to decide on this he takes feedback from all the the people involved.

Melissa was the perfect fit for this group but sadly, she decided to quit before going to korea. Its also good because we get see more of Camilla and KG as vocalists but the remaining 4 members, I'd say Kaylee has the biggest potential of becoming a good lead vocalist more than Lexus and Savanna. I'm sorry but Kendall definitely debuted because she's JYP's favorite and after hearing her voice in the Y.O.Universe and mushow performances, girlie is indeed backed up by JYP. I hope div3 will consider giving the girls to republic records and let them make their music instead of jyp.

[@WokOverEasy]

She’s JYPs favourite because of her good looks and stage presence. You can work hard to improve in dance and singing. There’s little work you can do to look better or have natural expressions.

[@SYDDOS]

Melissa was never a perfect match for this group or Kpop genre. Melissa's natural voice is that of a solo singer in a different music genre.

[@iskrenivanov8153]

Omg i cant wait for this video so people can stop talking nonsense about who has best vocals...

[@Patrick_OBrien]

Can you do further analysis on A2k i found this so insightful. Perhaps on other performances on the show

[@chigto]

Please check out their pre debut track after you finish the series

[@T_kats]

A lot of K-pop companies want to push their idols into singing a particularly style which is why he made those remarks on KG’s vocal twang.

[@Katriinka]

sometimes it is such a pity. Like I understand the need to be able to build the sound of the group but I love the originality in voices.

[@T_kats]

@@Katriinka Totally agree! And it’s even worse when they also force idols to singing out of their range in favor of highness :(

[@elle_na619]

Yes, just like Rosè. I like it though it’s unique and I wish they let her sing with her twang a lil bit and not get rid of it completely

[@InvisibleRen]

Yep. It’s super common for a K-pop group member to get a solo song and people go, “Wow, I didn’t know they could sing like that!” 😂

[@sevyeun]

I need you to react to the second part of this vocal test

[@lauti2057]

we need the second partt

[@tomas2624]

Your videos are amazing!!! I don't know if you know but Hybe did a reality show too that formed a girl group called I'll-It!! I would love to see you react their vocal skills, the reality show was RU Next

[@RomanKru]

my mother establish the voice for children and many things you said i have heard. she also pay a lot of attention to suprafrontal (not sure the term) resonators to establish a good "opera" voice.

[@user-gj5cd4bz6u]

Feeling nervous!!!OMG

[@scttschlz]

I do think you'd similarly enjoy reacting to the Dream Academy vocal groups for Mission 1 - they're comparatively short and you could knock both out in a single reaction. You might also consider doing a couple of the final performances from R U Next? for the contrast with the performances here. It's Hybe (as is Dream Academy) but a much more typical Kpop survival show. I do not think the resulting group I'll-it (yes, the name is terrible) has a particularly strong main vocalist compared to Vcha (also terrible) and whatever Dream Academy will produce though I like them well enough. (But what I REALLY REALLY want is your take on Ado's recent release "Show".)

[@maryannnera1289]

The half baked comment is what got me :P

[@letslexi]

All of VCHA are ❤

[@khairuljaffar5979]

I hope you go through the singing performances/group performances in the whole show. I would like to hear your comments on their progress.

[@user-dr6ue3po6s]

Part 2 plsssss❤

[@JKlovelyyy]

Melissa she surprised me. It's a shame she hadn't finished the competition.

[@dearrachel83]

Hi, I’m new to your channel (probably came up because of A2K). I love your reaction and things you point out and will watch part 2 for sure! I checked out a couple other reactions and will probably subscribe! I’d love to see you react to the band ONEWE! Talk about vocal Heaven! ❤️💜💚💛💙They’re in the same company as Mamamoo.

[@dearrachel83]

I’d recommend A book in Memory, AuRoRa, or Star to start with ❤️

[@TheCoolestAnime]

Plsss we need second part ahahah

[@elle_na619]

KG is my bias

[@soneforever8729]

My fav voices are kaylee and camila I really enjoy listenning to them

[@erarung28]

you should have collaboration with jyp

[@Just-singing11]

I am sure it is SAVANNA!!!! 😊❤️❤️

[@mcjgg-]
