Vocal ANALYSIS of Whitney Houston's cover "I Will Always Love You" by Sohyang!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@Real-Name..Maqavoy]

Yuup. I did know That ^^

[@OlmerMD]

This is not cover Whitney because original song was singed by Dolly Parton. Whitney sang a cover.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

Another song very much associated with Whitney Houston is "I Have Nothing". Sohyang's version at DMC Festival 2015 shows she can be a vocal beast. There are 2 videos of this stunning live performance, which you should review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW4qnyDoMmsaq8 Broadcast version kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXfXg4iJhd2Wl9U Camera only on Sohyang BTW, Whitney's former manager saw this and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. Foster eventually connected with Sohyang, and they performed 8 shows in 4 days at Blue Note Tokyo (Dec 2018). Foster cowrote the song, and arranged and produced it for Whitney, who sang it for her role in the movie "The Bodyguard". Since you have found Begin Again Korea (BAK) and you have mentioned Ella Fitzgerald, consider listening to a short jazz cover by Sohyang. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZrZp6OBaLqAotk "Misty" (Begin Again Korea) At 02:22, you may notice a fellow singer crying. Lee Suhyun duets with Sohyang in "My Favorite Things" and "Flashlight". They produced some nice harmonies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJKyqWuDqJeEq7M "My Favorite Things" (Begin Again Korea) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooTdk2mXZbWeh7c "Flashlight" (Begin Again Korea) An interesting BAK performance by Sohyang features a studio-produced video of her singing, which isn't live. Watch for the surprise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWa6onp_hc-kqsU "Never Enough" (Begin Again Korea)

[@alvinksl8405]

Please respect the singer, don't introduce her as Korean Mariah Carey, she should know better, you are a singer too. But of course, while someone may want people to call them Mr. Charismatic Voice, Sohyang may want you to introduce her as Sohyang. Furthermore, you are trying to build your exposure and make money through her, respect is the least you should honor, not just Sohyang, but any human. You know what, if Sohyang gets to meet you one day, she will never introduce you as Charismatic Voice back in Korea, she would want to call you by your name.

[@armenoid2278]

Love this stripped down acoustic version of this iconic song. She performed it outside whilst sitting down with minimal instrumentation and yet it was so easy for her, and she sang the sax part for good measure. Stunning rendition from an incredible vocalist. Thank you so much for a great reaction.

[@raymitchell9736]

I think this is the first time I heard about this performer and hear her sing... Amazing, WOW! Tears in my eyes, she is good! Thank you for introducing me to such a great talent, I can't wait to hear more from her.

I am so happy you did So Hyang's cover of I Will Always Love You. I had a feeling you would love this. I heard many pro singers and amateur singers cover this legendary song but only So Hyang's version makes me tear up and feel comforted like how this song was meant to be. Greeat reaction as always. Take care.

I also had tears in my eyes listening to this. I’ve loved her singing for a long time but I had never heard/seen this video before. Thank you for your informative reaction.

[@DaBlondDude]

One of the few singers THAT easily capable of giving me goosebumps every time they sing. I also noticed how much (and how easily) she played around with vibrato.

[@tom7471]

Thanks so much for coming back to this artist! So Hyang is the best female voice on the planet IMO. She can sing anything, and when she isn't battling the effects of pneumonia (which she was here, actually, not long before), she is the most dynamic singer I've heard in a long life of gravitating toward the female voice. Here she is singing sitting down on a dock in the wind. Absolutely unbelievable. What separates her from the very best technical singers on the planet is her sincerity, her genuine delivery. Evidently this is her very much as a human. What a treasure to hear her in America on KZbin! Just 'Wow'. Oh, and the young lady who's jaw dropped , was surprised, I think, at So Hyang singing the saxophone solo part from Whitney's version. But all of those young musicians are in awe of her. The lady's name is Lee Hi, and she is an incredible singer in her own right. Her song 'Breathe' (in Korean) is worthy of a reaction, either her version or So Hyang's version of that same song. Both are incredibly emotional.

[@CarloRodriguez10]

She’s one of the best vocalists of all time.. thank you sm for reacting and analyzing her performances

[@yukuolee3740]

Love your analysis of this Sohyang's performance. To appreciate Sohyang here, one really needs to go beyond the pristine technical execution and naturally gifted voice. The performance spoke volume about the effort in the artistic interpretation for this showing. You use the word "glorious" multiple times and that's such an apt term here. Thanks for the reaction.

[@안졸리나-v7n]

무반주로 부르는 음 만으로도 마치 반주를 한 것 같은 분위기를 줌.. 거기다 중간에 옆의 가수들이 놀라는 포즈를 취한 건 감동해서가 아니라 섹소폰 파트를 오로지 화음으로만 불렀기 때문임.. 원곡이 파워풀하다면 소향은 조용하고 부드럽게 부른 또 다른 매력이 있는 노래임

[@edbourgeois8601]

At 67 have always considered the top female singers in history, equally great. Then I heard and felt Kim Sohyang. My one true love.

[@kbar5821]

For context, this show normally follows well known singers to different countries in street busking situations. This season was filmed during the pandemic entirely in Korea and this particular performance was at Korea's largest steel mill and was the first after So Hyang joined the cast. The cast is typically a bunch of "juniors" who are relatively young/current stars with at least one "senior" who is a veteran that older folks can easily relate to. This is the first time So Hyang performed after joining the cast mid-season and you can see how in awe the Juniors are as she does things with her voice that they never even thought possible, and for the rest of the season they made similar expressions of wonder. She really is a treasure and I hope she recovers from her current bout of Covid soon as the world is a much better place when she's sharing her gift with the rest of us.

[@ShineRunnersGarage]

Add to it that more than likely English is her second language the clarity of her voice, the emotion, I don't think she deserves the title Korean Mariah Carey because I think she's better than Maria Carey is.

[@apaxtoa]

Oh she's definately without a doubt better than Mariah Carey.

Her singing ability to convey emotions can't be matched by anyone on earth! It's really touch my heart and soul!! Your analysis and reaction to SoHyang are so accurate and super cool as always!! Please, keep react to more SoHyang' singing "You raise me up(Immortal song 2 2018)". Take care!

Yes, this is So Hyang. One of the best vocalists in the world. And she really brings comfort with her voice!

[@PTRMAN]

I'm not crying - YOU'RE CRYING!! Your enthusiasm for these vocalists really comes through in these videos. Kudos to you for keeping it professional, for not absolutely breaking into tears every time (like I do), when we can all see how emotional you are about these vocals.

[@jimw.4161]

Brilliant cover! One of your very best analyses, Elizabeth. Your love of music never fails to impress. Great job!

[@CelestialVoice-SH]

Sohyang's singing prowess extends beyond mere technical proficiency; she is a master at infusing her performances with genuine and heartfelt emotions. While her exceptional vocal techniques undoubtedly contribute to her artistry, it is her ability to connect with the music and convey deep emotions that truly sets her apart. When Sohyang sings, her voice becomes a vehicle for expressing a wide range of emotions, from joy and love to sorrow and longing. Her ability to connect with the lyrics and the essence of a song allows her to deliver performances that touch the hearts of her listeners. Through her vocal nuances, phrasing, and subtle vocal inflections, she brings authenticity and vulnerability to her interpretations. Sohyang's performances are marked by her capacity to evoke powerful emotions in her audience. Her voice carries the weight of her experiences and captures the essence of the songs she sings. Whether she is delivering a poignant ballad or an uplifting anthem, she has the ability to move her listeners to tears or fill them with a sense of hope and inspiration.

[@sandygarner7757]

Oh myy worddd! She gave me goosebumps! She sounded just like Whitney is still heree!☹😥❤

[@johncourtright1632]

Sohyang is an absolute angel! When she says, " I will always love you", you believe her. What a beautiful gift she is!

LOVE LOVE your sohyang reactions ❤ ♥, Best vocalist, performer, person, that ever walked the face of this planet in my opinion. Gift from God 😇. I love how she took on the sax solo in this, amazing! She sings with so much emotion! Always...makes you feel it. That's what separates her from everyone else. ❤❤❤

[@TheSeeking2know]

Yes, I've been waiting for this! Thank you. That her longest held-out note with vibrato on "you" (at 20:40)- so technically beautiful, yet heartfelt and without artifice up until 20:48 where she changed the vibrato to a run at just the right place - was just the topping for me! I wonder what would have been if Sohyang had grown up as an operatic voice with the same emotional expressiveness.

[@Rosannasfriend]

The thing that sold this performance to me, outside of the nuances she adds to every phrase, is how she did that saxophone solo with her voice instead of letting a saxophonists play it for her. What a musician!

[@twinspa122]

She has spirit, talent, beautiful tone, angelic voice color and tireless effort for her song. She is the best singer in 21th century.

[@garricksmalley1733]

That ending reminded me of Dolly. The runs made me feel like I was listening to a jazz version and the sustained bits like Whitney’s version this is truly special. Thank you for your reaction and yes I did notice you not stopping but I figured it was because why interrupt greatness?

For me it's always been Dolly Partons song but this is amazing.

[@daveg.6820]

@@toni6053 Well, yes. I guess Whitney's fan base is enough different from Dolly's that they never knew where it came from. Lots of giant hits are like that. the person who wrote it or first performed it gets little credit. "Unchained Melody" is an example. A man named Alex North wrote it for a prison movie. Todd Duncan sang it. Who knew? Cheers.

[@brossjackson]

Definitely agree that we need some Dolly on this channel. I would include not just her solo songs but in particular the Trio recording (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt) of "The Sweetest Gift" (live). Some of the most spectacular harmony singing you'll ever hear.

The girl with the faces is actually an amazing singer with one of the most beautiful tones I've honestly ever heard! Her name is Lee Hi, I highly recommend listening to any live of hers to be honest that's how good she is, a personal favorite of mine is her song Breathe because of the words and meaning, written by late Korean legend Jonghyun who was also an amazing vocalist, highly recommend his live of Y Si Fuera Ela, and also member of one the og legends of Kpop, often called the princes of Kpop, Shinee!! I recommend reacting to both of them as they are such great singers also from South Korea.

So Hyang joined these young gifted musicians in 2020 after doing the King of Mask Competition in 2017 (edited comment to correct the dates) while still suffering the effects of pneumonia as part of her goal to bring comfort to those going through difficult times, (as she, herself was doing). She travelled, to this pier on a giant steel mill which could not shut down during the Covid-19 restrictions, so the workers really needed a lift, with a nebulizer to help her sing during her recovery. So her breath control here is even more amazing, and this was the last song of the set they performed for them. I think they performed another set that evening, testing her stamina even more. So, even at less than full strength, So Hyang produced some her most epic performances. We are so fortunate that these performances were recorded so well! Thanks for your heartfelt reaction!

[@gentlemen4070]

Absolutely I agree with you. She always touches my heart and makes me cry.

You really feel it almost like she is holding back tears. Other people may possibly be "better" singers than her but very few singers really make you feel it like she does.

Elizabeth, Here is what David Foster had to say about Sohyang in an interview with Naver on December 10, 2018, only a week after doing eight concerts with her at Tokyo's Blue Note Club. “I wanted to meet her very much, and I am happy to have collaborated in putting together a concert. Here is how I got to know about Sohyang. Oprah Winfrey introduced me to 'a stunningly amazing singer whose video is a must watch.' I fell in love at once with Sohyang's first video I watched on KZbin, 'I Have Nothing.' It was thrilling, and I searched to listen to most of her other songs as well. I have wanted to meet her for a long time. She is one of the top divas I've come across." David Foster didn't hold back praises. "Her voice is very beautiful and overwhelming, and I found her every performance to be emotionally moving and amazing. Moving forward, I want to collaborate again!" _Translated from Korean by David Day Lee with just a few touch ups for English grammar by moi, Todd Sauve._ 😉

One of my very favorite performances on KZbin. Would love to hear something recent from Sohyang. Anyone know where she is and what's she's up to?

[@Hopefully_Sohyang]

Sohyang has recovered a lot from Covid. It seems that she will attend several concerts in Korea from this week.

I've heard that she has recently been diagnosed with Covid. This is no joke for someone like her whose immune system has been compromised. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her.

@@pacogomez1707 Absolutely, Paco. For anyone who doesn't know, Sohyang was diagnosed with cancer 20+ years ago. Keeping her in my prayers!

[@tom7471]

@@Hopefully_Sohyang That is the best news I've heard in a while! So glad COVID did not hit her as hard as I feared! Thanks you for the info!

[@shh4874]

Sohyang is performing this Wednesday and Saturday. She posted a video yesterday about her health. In short, she said she was fine and to not worry too much. She's been studying in her free time during this period. This is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaDQkqGvm8Sfh9k

우리야 평범한 사람들이기에 단지 소향의 노래가 좋다고 느끼지만 리액션하면서 전율하는 모습을 보니 전문가로서 훨씬 디테일하게 느낄 수 있는 요소들이 많은 것 같습니다. 여러 번 보는 리액션이지만 그럼에도 볼 요소가 많아 좋습니다. 감사합니다.
