VOICE TEACHER REACTS TO SOHYANG - YOU RAISE ME UP

[@maryhumphrey3002]

She was just getting over pneumonia when she sang this, against her Doctors orders. I love her singing. Like an Angel.

[@비나리-i9y]

mike 당신의 반응은 최고입니다 지금껏 소향을 리액션했던 가수,오페라가수,지휘자,음향감독,성악가등등 수천명의 리액션을 봐왔는데 당신의 리액션은 no.1입니다 소향님이 4번째 폐렴에서 회복중일때 부른 노래라고 하더군요 가슴이 찡하지만 모든걸 걸고 이런 명곡을 무사히 완곡할수 있었습니다 귀하의 반응에 감사합니다^^

[@Kwanyoungs]

와우, 소향 리액션 전부 다 보고 있는데, 11:30 에 나오는 beats so () imperfectly 이부분 날카롭게 캐치 한 사람은 선생님뿐이에요. 항상 건강하셔서 리액션 많이 보여주세요!

[@Haemppong]

이 당시 소향씨 폐렴을 앓고 계셔서 굉장히 힘드셨다고 해요 ㅠㅠ 그래서 평소보다 키를 낮추시고 소울에 집중하셨다고 합니다... Sohyang had a pneumonia when she practiced and performed this so she could not use extremely high key as usual.

[@godd920]

본인의 상황에 딱 맞아서 더 감동인듯ᆢ네 영혼이 힘들고 지칠때 주께 더 의지 합니다 나를 더 강하게 일으켜주실ᆢ주님을

[@jasonlee2357]

Thank you for loving SoHyang~~ She is a gift from heaven and a precious treasure of South Korea. God bless you always~!!!

[@mattphillips538]

Sohyang does these arrangements. She's a master.

[@kravesound806]

You need to hear her sing Bridge Over Troubled Water. Amazing

[@반야-r6l]

Sohyang's voice is a blessing to listen to always!!! To me it affect me in all the best ways!

[@moayo7666]

첫소절 듣고 반응에 young singer...라는데 젊은줄아는듯~마흔에 저런 목소리 가지기 쉽지않긴하지~🥰🥰

[@최비단-r6y]

소향 목소리를 들을때마다~너무 행복합니다~

[@DereBear]

I loved seeing absolutely enjoying yourself, the smile you popped on that F# after the modulation is why I love singing

[@ToddSauve]

Hi again Mike, We all wonder if So Hyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she's from another planet or perhaps an angel come down from Heaven. We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. It is as close to supernatural as we are ever likely to hear! She does all the musical arrangements herself, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese. Let me catch my breath. OK. She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all travelled to Asia to work with her. She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of "You Raise Me Up" before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV, which you just analyzed! She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere! She just turned 42 on April 5, though in Korean culture she would be 43 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 35 when she sang this version of "Arirang Alone." kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfcn5eBbruCec0 She decided to enter a televised singing contest called "King of the Masked Singers" in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international fame from the performances being posted on KZbin. Apparently Oprah Winfrey saw her on KZbin and showed her to David Foster, who then contacted her and went to Japan in order to work with her. She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." So she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! Please analyze her performance of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfMeZtqrqeredE And also, please react to her version of "The Power of Love": kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOxnImIp7Bqlas So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being! She is beautiful both inside and out--and so humble! Here's an English language interview with her that I'm sure you will enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPYkKOjpLyroJo Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews. OK, I'll stop gushing now. Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer So Hyang says that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she has never gone above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is about a 5 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ-zcp6ortesnbM

[@jibingeorgekarickom]

Queen So Hyang😍😍 she's a legit vocalist. FYI, she's a voice teacher, she knows all the techniques and she's just playing with it. Love her.

[@stephenchoi7929]

She is precious.

[@yukuolee3740]

What an amazing explanation in this video! First of all, you clearly enjoy what you hear as you offer your observations. This masterful display of vocal proficiency shows a Sohyang who uses music as an instrument for personal expression. You made so many excellent comments that resonated with me: 1. The use of riffs and runs should be applied for emotional expression, rather than demonstration of ability. 2. This is the second time I hear your comments on finding the right type of vibrato. Finally sinking in. 3. You have the most insightful remark on the vowel management I've seen. Your comment on the handling of the verse "...restless heart beating so imperfectly" is much appreciated. I have wondered about Sohyang's choice in dealing with the transition from O to I in this rendition. You gave me additional knowledge on its treatment. 4. Also find your highlights on balanced vocal line useful in describing the reason why some notes sound clear and satisfying while others don't. While gifted with a golden voice, Sohyang continues to work tirelessly on the mastery of her vocal tools. This 2018 rendition of You Raise Me Up provides a wonderful snapshot of her skill maturity and musical expressiveness. I look forward to your next visit to Sohyang.

[@Megl_guhr2ou9v.l]

I enjoyed the great vocal analysis~ Sohyang's golden ratio mixed voice is a different world.Thank you so much~♡

[@captaincringe2178]

You're right, she's kinda textbook of perfect vocal skills. BUT, lots of singer/vocalist out there with those capabilities. What makes her different is.. The pure soul. If you just hear her singing (or luckily watching her live) performances without any contents purposes, you'd forgot about all the techniques, skills, theory, etc. Start with faster heartbeat, chills, goosebumps, and ended up with tears, and it happens everytime, no matter which performance you watch and how many time you re-watched them. She can be that pure just because she sings just for God and for you, not for money or fame. Yes her performances are completely singing lesson, but I would say that as a journey. Just look at her expression, gestures, stage presents, interactions, vocal techniques, everything. She takes you to church. Thats experience. Thank you for your great reaction and all the knowledges. I'm very excited for your next reaction of her. Cheers^^

[@ignatiuschua5268]

Wow. Very well written, and you took the words out of mouth and phrase them in such a beautiful way.

[@alice755145]

[@아도니스-j5v]

Wow I got touched by your comment. As a fan of Sohyang, I hope everyone relies on God and take peace in Him through the song she sings.

[@redsunshine6339]

I've always said that register transitions are her superpower and this was a great analysis not only of how she does it but WHY it's so important. It unlocks so many compositional and arrangement possibilities which are such a huge part of the emotional impact of her performances. Love her so much and please keep these coming. Subscribed!

[@올타구·시사이슈문화]

Her vocalization and facial expression were unusual in this Live. The reason was that she had a hard time with pneumonia until she did this live. So she wasn't in her normal condition. How amazing is it?

I'd love to see your reactions to some of her performances on the Masked singer! She sings "Breathe", "Home", and "Do You Know" so beautifully!

[@greatmusicdilettante6405]

I'm glad you decided to revisit this performance again, despite the disappointing copyright challenge your uploaded video experienced before. Just wanted to let you know that people like me acknowledge and recognize the extra steps you have to take in reediting and reuploading multiple times. It's because KZbin algorithm and policy are strict nowadays, unfortunately. Don't worry about having a long video either, especially if it's full of substance like yours. Many are actually seeking detailed breakdown and analysis out of curiosity and fascination brought by the mastery of vocals. Sohyang happens to be a walking and breathing pedagogy lecture that makes her an excellent case study, or two, or ten 😉 . So, yes, please do more reaction/analysis videos of Sohyang's performance. You seem to really enjoy and fascinated by her too, which her fans appreciate. Thanks as always.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Well, he's not revisiting it . This is the same video he had up on Facebook.

[@brucelee2871]

Yes ! Sohyang ! She is the next level singer in this world. Thanks for your very nice reaction. From N.Y.

[@melmel075]

i hope Sohyang saw this reaction -- i think she'd like it! ...please react to her singing Misty (begin again 2020), Oh Holy Night, and her 2010 version of the Michael Jackson song: Will You Be There (would love to hear what you thought of her at that early stage in her singing career -- her power & heartfulness are awesome)

[@trinquisitor_th2993]

And on top of all in discussion she performed that when she was having pneumonia and doctor advised against performing live. I am really looking forward to hearing your insight of her "Bridge Over Troubled Water" ... I knew her first time from that song and it did change my life forever. I (with my vocal level of secret bathroom vocalist) would like to improve myself and to be able to deliver some decent singing of that song sometimes. Appreciated your extensive explanation truly, since I have no background in voice / vocal performance at all (I have got some training and academic researching in the field of phonetics + applied linguistics in the past .. that's how I could improve myself when singing in English) --- the accurate and comprehensible explanation gives me clear instruction of how I can practice myself.

[@godislove8038]

Sohyang is wonderful. Have you heard of David Phelps? Many people consider him to be her male counterpart. He would be excellent for teaching vocal dynamics as he is very good, nearly flawless. He lives what he is singing, like Sohyang. He sings many genres. He has beautiful passagio, glissando and transposition (if that’s the right word for changing keys while singing). He blends pop and classical styles very well. I recommend listening to “The Singer.” It opens with an acapella version of “0 come Immanuel” arranged by David. Then moves into “ The Singer”, a song David wrote about God creating and redeeming the world through song. Thanks for your informative reactions!

[@georgeprime2249]

Totally agree

[@muhammadiqmal4729]

I like listening to your analysis. It helps me appreciate and enjoy performances. You should check out her lean on me. Very different vibe - upbeat and gospel - but still a technical showcase.

[@한동문-b3d]

If you like "Pantatonic & Dimash", Among Korean singers, there are many good singers besides "BTS. Black Fink. So hyang". "Forestella (Bohemian Rhapsody / Sound of Silence / Champion). Park hyo shin (wild flower / Good bye / breath), Park ki young (Nella Fantasia), Na ul (Memory of the Wind), Lim jae bum (Desperado / Confession), Im Seon-hye (Lascia Ch'io Pianga in Pariselli), Ha hyun woo (Razenka save us), Jang sa ik (brier flowers / flower viewing / springtime is gone), etc." are recommended.

Fantastic reaction , please react to lean on me , everyone, by so Hyang... That is from immortal song, also fate, o holy night and Mona Lisa by so hyang

[@g55dg55d]

He gave me a detailed analysis and interpretation. Thank you teacher. :D

[@alfogel3298]

I love so Hyang . She’s fantastic. But I have a request that you react to her closest and best friend, “Park Ki Young”, I like Park Ki Young because they have about the same vocal range but Park Ki Young is a tad more versatile and can belt them with equal emotional impact and power in rock, pop, soul, jazz flamenco, and classical ( opera). “ So hyang” receives a lot more reactors and reactions than Park Ki Young” because of her ability to sing some American songs in English which she performs with emotional impact. But please don’t judge a vocalist by the number of requests you receive-altho your fans are usually right. But I’m a professional singer and my singing friends unanimously agree that both So Hyang and Park Ki Young are not only world class vocalists but equal in talent. What I’m trying to say is I believe Park Ki Young deserves far more reactions and I promise you and your subscribers who love So Hyang ( and I am among them) that you won’t be disappointed listening to a Park Ki Young song. They are both about the same age ( early 40s but look amazing for their age!) and the closest and best of friends. Please start your Park Ki Young Journey PRIVATELY with a KZbin video titled” Park Kiyoung best High notes” vid ( 5:56 long she belts a C5 between 3:55 and 4:11 that’s 17 seconds!! She also hits an F6 omg in this compilation. This will give you a good representation of what she can do . And she has a low belting register also. Once you’re convinced of her amazing voice, I suggest you begin your public reaction to Nella Fantasia” ( click first vid 4:08 duration) which I consider the best rendition I have ever heard of this song and I have heard all the world class vocalists perform it) You’ve just begun your journey. Staying with opera, please consider next an operetta masterpiece titled “I dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Park” ( 5:02). One of the rare ones performed by her in English and Sung the way it was intended to be sung; in opera style and NOT as a ballad as Anya’s popular version was renditioned in ( hauntingly beautiful but a total departure from its roots which was taken from an 1836 Operetta titled Bohemian Rapture. Now that you know what a fabulous voice she has, you may want to continue to publicly react to any of the following that showcases her ability to perform in a multitude of genres. ** * soul “Goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one she’s in the celestial realm and sustains the last note a long time. *Soul “wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration with the blue strobe lighting) *soul “Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration) Soul/R& B “Lonely Night” ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range and the ending is up in the stratosphere. *Flamenco“ “To You” ( awesome flamenco beat. If you love flamenco, you will love her performance!Click the 4:28 posted by KBS) ** Rock “ Spring Rain” ( rock /soul with an emotionally impactful and incredible raspy voice ending. 6:53 posted by KBS) All ParkKiyoung songs I recommend are live performances. Again, I love Sohyang but hope you give her closest friend a chance to showcase her world-class talent. All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida, Al
