What Makes Jinho Family Portrait AWESOME? Dr. Marc Reaction & Analysis

[@ubervocal8777]

What an intense, emotional tribute to his parents: his father who passed away too soon and his mother who sacrificed to raise him. He hardly moved during the song but his stage presence was so compelling regardless. Less was more. Thank you for the reaction.

[@DrMarcReynolds]

Well said!

From the start of this song, the piano and even the simple singing style is actually very reminiscent of the Korean folk songs my dad loved, he played me guitar and sang just like this. So this performance ensnared my heart. Another thing is the words he chose to tenderly elongate or say softly or shout, and the choice of words and timing of respectful language vs informal "home" language, it all strikes so close to the heart. When he cried "uri umma! (mom!)" I cried so hard, you can hear every child's voice coming from grown man. His storytelling and sincerity is immaculate and moving. It is extremely interesting to hear your specialist analysis of every other part of this performance, that I could never have known. It made me appreciate this singer even more. Many vocal analysis reviews do not come close to touching on the depth of your discuss. Thank you very much for your video.

Since the day i've heard this song the first time in 2014 it may be my favourite song of all time. It's a life story, a lesson, something very intimate he's telling us and shares with us in a raw and (to me) perfect way. Sad, heartbreaking but also a reminder to try to be a good person and be nice to others as long as we're here and we can. Like the mother of one of the show's participants said: This song should NOT be judged. His performances of "Saldaga" which was very dark and "My love by my side" are similar. Master pieces of life and sadly ... death ... to me.

[@SweetSori]

Agree!

[@rowanthea2673]

Kim Jinho is one of the best storytellers of our time. Love your breakdown of this song

[@brittag.pedersen5340]

❤️❤️❤️...when I accidental tripped over this performance, I cried. It is one of the most beautiful and moving performances I have ever heard.... and most genuine an heartfelt. Love it so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RavensRedd]

This song makes me wish that I spoke Korean. The appeal of his voice and the beauty of the melodies is universally understood though! It was beautiful. Thank you for reacting to it Dr. Marc ❤️

[@PinksBishopsWorld]

I have so much respect for Kim Jinho. The fact he very rarely makes appearances but when he does it's so worth it. He wrote this himself. Plus I believe this was his first time to release it. So to have the whole room be moved like that is absolutely amazing.

[@SweetSori]

The song actually is released in 2013, February 14th, it's one of tracks of his 1st solo album, but since he didn't really promote it and the song itself it's not the title track, it was not that popular until he performed this song on Immortal Song (2014, May 24th) , the song immediately becomes huge hit until now, he even released the 2020 version of the song, the arrangement is quite similar with the one he did for Immortal Song (the 2013 ver/original ver sounds more simple) And indeed, due to his own preference, he rarely appeared on TV broadcasts, but once he did, he never failed to move people even set an ocean of tears, he's one of the greatest singer I've ever seen!

[@GungFuIsGungFu]

@@SweetSori I might be mistaken, but was this Jin-ho's first live performance (except for some private mini concerts) after SG Wannabe band member Chae Dong Ha's passing in 2011 ? From what I remember he took a break from public appearance, and this 2014 was also his solo comeback ?

[@SweetSori]

@@GungFuIsGungFu hello... No, this is not his first TV performance after that tragic event... Actually in late 2011 SG Wannabe still appeared on a year end event or an award ceremony if I'm not mistaken, eventhough we can see Kim Jin Ho looked do gloomy by looking at his face, then finally debuted as solo singer in 2013 by releasing his first solo album, and it made him appeared several times on TV for the album promotion... But still, we can say his TV appearance isn't counted as significant, since he preferred more to sing at some busking events... The performance in this video is his second appearance for the show, the first one was aired in October 2013, it was such a huge appearance too, he became a winner and his name appeared on some trending topics, news articles and he made some SG Wannabe re-entered the music chart

눈물을 참고 있었는데 당신의 마지막모습을 보고 눈물이 터졌네요.ㅜㅜ 리뷰 고마워요

[@SweetSori]

Watching this video again after a long time... Seriously i love your analysis! You perfectly point out all of Kim Jin Ho's skills and talents and uniqueness! I've seen so many singer but never seen a singer like him... He brings singing into something else... That even a musical play can't always show it! Again, thank you for this reaction video ^^

[@irinaalexatravelplanet5903]

Thank you for the amazing analysis. YOU MUST CHECK AS WELL HIS OTHER PERFORMANCE OF SALDAGA! its flawless!

[@gentleman4491]

It's so so emotional. I don't know what to say. I miss my dead mother. I just miss... Thank you so much for great analysis and reaction. Have a good time.

[@BruceLee-gg6ro]

WOW.......Amazing and amazing korean singer too......

[@janaklarowna189]

Piękna, emocjonalna piosenka, emocje zarówno u śpiewającego jak i komentującego. Dla takich chwil słuchamy muzyki :) A beautiful, emotional song, emotions in both the singer and the commentator. We listen to music for such moments

[@Fisana_Free_0704]

Dear .. dear Dr. Marc, thank you so much for your emotions, for not hiding your feelings from us during your reaction to this performance! This is very valuable to us! I always watch your videos with pleasure, but now you have become like a close person to me = o) P.S. I always cry when I watch or listen to this Kim Jin Ho song ... Sorry, I write through a translator .. Дорогой.. дорогой Dr. Marc, огромное Вам спасибо за Ваши эмоции, за то, что Вы не скрывали от нас Ваши чувства во время реакции на это выступление! Это очень ценно для нас! Я всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваши видео, но сейчас Вы мне стали как близкий человек =о) П.с. Я всегда плачу, когда смотрю или слушаю эту песню Kim Jin Ho... Простите, я пишу через переводчик..

[@juneseghni]

If you haven't seen it aready I highly recommend his performance of Saldaga, also on Immortal Songs. It's tremendously emotional as he sings with a recording of his friend and former SG Wannabe member Chae Dong Ha who sadly commited suicide. Not a dry eye in the house.

[@DrMarcReynolds]

Will do!

[@brittanym1376]

I Agree!!

[@lancelotprice5520]

Beautiful singing and beautiful analysis thereof. I don't understand the words, but I sure as hell understand the feelings. I've had them before. And still have the same sadness and regret, and sometimes the brief joy of remembrance, happy moments. I was not before aware of this particular Jinho, but i surely am now and will search for more of him.

[@petapetroula]

Awesome reaction, loved the song! I feel lucky that I found your channel. Thank uou Dr. Reynolds!

[@DrMarcReynolds]

Thank you! This comment made my day!

[@dojoonpark2306]

Marc. It's dojoon park. I am happy. U like this song

[@lancelotprice5520]

I just watched, a few minutes ago, Kim Jinho singing Saldaga, which seems to be about living, being alive. Jinho has joined Park Hyoshin on my brief list of favourite singers. edit: And Dimash, of course.

[@Pihnes]

Originally it was a love/breakup song but yeah ... we all know what happened then and how its meaning drastically changed. :(

[@ignatiuschua5268]

In vimeo, there is Eng Sub. The few people tearing are actually famous singers in Korea, who were competing in this competition. By the way, the debut of this song was on this stage and it was written and composed by Kim Jin Ho himself.

[@SweetSori]

Hi~ i frequently left comments about this song on some videos ^^ By the way, i just want to say that this song is actually released in February, 2013, as one of tracks of Kim Jin Ho's first solo album. Family Picture is not the title track of that album, so the song wasn't really known by public at that time, but eventhough it's not the title track, he sang that song a lot more than other songs on some events. Then in May, 2014, he got chance to sing his own song on Immortal Song, and surprisingly the public's response was really amazing, and that's how the song become legendary song until now ^^

[@i.t.t.]

even with you stopping it and despite not speaking Korean that made me sob. everything's so hard right now. everything.

[@asyuraniel]

The time when his voice become grit and feltful, the lyric is about the sacrifice of our parents made on their youth to make us bloom.... and it just 😭😒

[@92IsaacYun]

thank you for the reaction!

[@wlswkfhkim4852]

I m very excited when someone who is a professional vocal coach like you review a singer having good skill but not well known and living in other countries. Can i ask you to review a female korean singer Park Kiyoung singing in Immortal song program? She is a friend of Sohyang and has great versatility. Please Check these. Rock style : Spring Rain. Or Yoke. Jazz : Yeonan Pier Opera : i dreamt i dwelt in marble halls

[@yanki198]

Yes, Park is so underrated, She is amazing, one of the best vocalist in the world

[@행복하자-u4s]

This song should not be analyzed. It sounds strange, but the pitch, the voice, the vibrato, it doesn't matter at all in this song. You have to savor and feel the lyrics. However, English only expresses Korean about 10%.

[@henry-kb1yj]

👏👏👏👏😭

[@everyoneyu]

why can.t you people appreciate his body workout as well? not just sitting there eating burgers and analyzing his voice haha

[@SweetSori]

Hahahah... Yes he has a really good shape He likes sport since childhood and works out a lot, he said he actually wanted to be an athlete, but because he got leg injury during school, he couldn't make it

[@대박터자뿌까]

노래 중간중간에 말을 많이하는데요. 한글자막도 같이 넣어주시면 영상 보는 재미가 훨씬 더 좋을거같습니다.

[@RB-pl5pg]

Dissecting this song don't make it feel right. You go from the mind as soon as you talk about it but when the song plays it goes right back to the heart. Then you start dissecting with words....this is wierd. This song is about getting into the song and the meaning of feelings coming out of this performance.
