For those asking, he said Kyungsoo's strengths are: Habit of singing very naturally + Proficient in expressing emotions. Since he's known as the vocal child of Yoo Youngjin, he's got an R&B base vocal so though he's singing it naturally, his R&B lines & habits juz came out like that & it's really good. James Arthur sang it in a slightly rougher nuance but Kyungsoo didn't do it excessively so it's really great. He felt that in the past, Kyungsoo sounded a bit more clumsy? Or maybe rather than clumsy, there's a nuance in his singing that made him sound a bit intimidated or nervous. But nowadays, he sings like he's writing a narrative, as if he's writing a story. It feels like he's singing with such ease, so much so that it's not juz, "oh he's good at singing" anymore, but singing to resonate with listeners. The D.O. he knew in the past was more idol-like, but now he's feeling a more singer-songwriter vibe mixed in his vocals. For singer-songwriters, there's nuances in the song that convey their own stories. From a vocal's perspective, he's juz following along & unwinding (the stories). He wonders if he's better at it cos he's an actor. Shortcomings: None. Keke~ According to his standards, the way Kyungsoo's singing now is the best state. If he were to suggest anything to bring it from the current 100 points to 110/115 points, he hopes he can widen his emotional range in singing even more. Cos maybe it's his personality, it feels like he's a very calm character/doesn't have big reactions, juz like when he's being an actor, there's more dramatic ways of expressions & he hopes he can apply the same to singing as well.
In my opinion, what distinguishes Kyungsoo as a vocalist is not only the extraordinary timbre of his voice, technical skills and great musicality, but also the ability to express the emotions and atmosphere of the song... I always get goosebumps when I hear his singing... thank you for being able to professionally evaluate his skills, because it will also help me properly appreciate his talent and artistry...
thank you for this reaction and the translation here in the comments. Hope you can also reacxt to his IU duet too. His is my favorite voice in the world. Tere are voices that makes you go wow but his is the voice that embraces my soul. When his voice go really low or when he hits those high notes, i can feel every note vibrating within my chest. he is a storyteller. You can feel every emotion pouring in the way he sings. His is a Vocal Masterclass.
