It's the way that us fans (Star Creators) voted for the ZB1 members, and our voting ended up making a group that got the highest tier in this video. THATS OUR VOCALBASEONE!!
I'm glad you brought up Zhang Hao's lower register. I have always thought his lower register sounded so rich and impactful. I hope ZB1 will release more songs that can show off his lower register more. Overall, I think 5th gen has a lot of great vocalists and can't wait to see more from them! 🥰
Seeing boynextdoor at last, it actually hurts but my boys are doing so well, they are not just vocalist but all rounders!! Jaehyun and taesan has so much potential....they are already ace.... jaehyun is a good singer, he just need a little control over his voice.....he is still doing good tho!!
This is just an analysis of their vocals, but as artists they are the best performers. I think that's the most important skill, that's why groups like bts become popular.
@@Kekekekenn I think you should focus on your group's activities and we'll focus on Bonedo. Your comment sounds like "aww, they're not that bad" and other areas? Isn't singing the main job of being a kpop idol? I'm sorry to say this again but all of them can sing great and sing live. That's it. There's a lot of videos that proof that but of course people aren't interested. Bonedo doesn't get acknowledged much but thank you for trying to make us feel better. Zb1 fighting 🔥 ~~ have a nice day 💞
@@love_onedoorful huh???? I didn't say they're "not that bad", they're genuinely good??? Am I not allowed to write a nice comment about them just because I stan a different group??? I'm just trying to show some support... And no singing isn't exactly the main job, it's a mix of many things including rap, dance, general performance ect. Which bonedo are also good at... I never said they couldn't sing live??? They definitely can. This is such a weirdly defensive response to a zerose just wanting to support a group zb1 are friends with. Like god forbid I don't only praise my ult and dare to praise a different group. You say bonedo don't get acknowledged as much but when I acknowledge them suddenly I should "focus on my own group". So strange.
I really admire how SM has given Riize songs that emphasize the members' strengths. Hoping for the same for ZB1 going forward, since most of their title tracks are too high to sing comfortably even with most of the members having good breath support and competent falsetto. Their Run Run cover really showed what they're capable of!
totally agree. i think some of their bsides are getting there ("dear eclipse" on their most recent ep was mostly lower chest voice and falsetto) but even some of their best songs overall (looking at you "take my hand") would be so much better if they were just slightly lower lol
yeah but when newjeans did the same people hate and accused them of easy singing and bad singers . newjeans also did lots of harmonizing in their songs but haters just hate them without actually listen to their songs
boynextdoor members have always said they believe their strength lies mostly in their performance ability instead of technique, they really excel in performance compared to other groups but this video explained how theyre lacking in technicalities really well
Sungeon (Evnne) is my favorite vocalist in 5th gen. I was really rooting for him in Boys Planet. His voice is very clear and at the same time, it's raspy. The high notes are not always supported but it's just very satisfying to hear him.
I think he is the most memorable for me because of his unique vocal tone. As you mentioned, he has incredible support and I find his head voice transition so satisfying. He is easily my no.1 pick from the entire list
i am so happy to hear more and more people praising zhang hao for his control over his lower register! combined with his naturally clear tone it makes him one of the most impressive vocalists in 5th gen! can't wait to hear more from him
i love hao's voice! not only is his lower register really strong but his transitions between registers are so smooth. he has kind of a weird falsetto so i don't enjoy that as much but overall he has an incredible range and a really versatile sound!
I knew it.. ZB1 is the 5th gen leader when it comes to vocals! All of the members continue to improve their vocal prowess. Hanbin and gunwook can easily pass as the main vocalist.. the two all rounder! ❤❤❤❤
I am so glad EVNNE is being included in such videos cause Seungeon is probably one of the best main vocalists in 5th gen and all their songs are so well balanced to have parts that fit the members Also can we talk about Yunseo in Even More cause damn his vocals were top notch. And i think their recent comeback showcases their vocal abilities better. They literally have a no skip discography! Stan Evnne
VOCALBASEONE YUPPPP ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 truly the 5th gen bg leaders!!! this was such an insightful analysis, and as someone that’s clueless about vocals in a technical sense, it was super interesting hearing your thoughts about all the groups and the ranking!!!! thanks for sharing :D
Boynextdoor, are great performers, for me they are the IDOL CODED group. they keep improving and gaining recognition with every comeback and i believe in there skills and believe they gonna overcome there weaknesses precisely
@@luvrinas well…no but we can agree to disagree as I stated above! but regardless even if it’s just aespa and nmixx my point is pretty much still valid in that sense even tho there are many more groups. Zb1 is very talented no doubt though but they do still have a bit of vocal competition not in fifth gen as of right now tho I don’t think so far.
cix only have seunghun who is main vocal level, jongho is the only one in ateez who's main vocal level but taerae is still better than him because he has more ease and better quality over his mid range and G4/G#4 + better lows down till C#3 treasure have relatively shallow vocalists who need to work on their technique more but u could say they're decently stable kiss of life only have belle who is main vocal level and taerae hao > belle while hanbin gunwook matthew > natty and haneul so yes they are the best 4-5th gen boygroup vocally and the groups u listed besides aespa and nmixx are not better than them or at the same level and while i disagree that they're unmatched in the industry vocally i don't think it's that srs because everyone says the same thing about their favs
Zhang Hao is one of the best idol I've ever seen. His voice is clear (live/encore) & beautiful, he's also versatile & stable when dancing (rare). With his amazing mindset of his, I'm sure he'll continue to progress as he did with dance. I'm rejoicing to see Yuehua together in one team, I fully love the matching voices of Hao & Seungeon in Jelly pop. I'm sure they'll deliver wonderful performance with a song that fit them. Taerae will do well after ZB1, he has an angelic voice & is made to do OST. I just hope he knows his potential & won't stay with that company
Boynextdoor has to be the most complete 5th gen boy group I’ve ever seen. Literally all of them can sing, dance and have insane stage presence. With even more practice they are gonna be unstoppable.
at the end of the day zb1's talents will ALWAYS get recognised no matter how much ppl will try to hate on their vocals, they're so far one of the best vocal groups in the last 4 years, and that proven within a year of debut !!
Y ZHANG HAO ES MEJOR QUE NINGUNO PORQUE TIENE LICENCIATURA EN MUSICOLOGÍA, Y ES PROFESOR DE MÚSICA PROFESIONAL Y TOCA EL VIOLIN ESPECIALIDAD, PIANO, GUITARRA, VIOLA, VIOLONCHELO
I AGREE 100%! I love all these groups and they are ALL GROWING! They will all continue to get better and I can’t wait to see what they do in the future. But ZB1 is a powerhouse! And I can’t wait to see what the other groups do, especially TWS, EVNNE and BoyNextDoor!🎉
I haven't watched it yet but I know BOYNEXTDOOR is going to be last 😂... Sad life as a BOYNEXTDOOR fan... Even though I know how fcking talented they are and how there's no one who can match their level of stage presence and artistry in the 5th Generation of K-POP. ❤❤❤❤ Respect to all artists. ❤
@@Labiba-143 We only see them do it in covers. Like Riwoo's cover of Taeyangs song... I hope they go viral for their 4th Korean comeback so more people can see how talented they are and why they are the real 5th Gen leaders. Not only popularity wise... ❤️
Me too... 😅Until now I have only see 2 or 3 comments about boynextdoor. But it doesn't matter the most important thing is that we onedoors know our artists talent very well. I'm not hating other artists I know that they are also talented. But boynextdoor is a very unique group with fun vibe and all rounders . Maybe now they are underrated but who knows the future.. I think they will shine the most ✨✨❤
IKR, let's just keep supporting them on our own and hope, one day people will notice their potential and talent. Till then let's just give them all the love we can possibly give
Boynextdoor is an all rounder group....good at everything!! They are an exception....and being last doesn't mean they are bad but it's like others are better but they still have decent vocals!!
Based on Hao’s back story in Boys Planet, if I’m not mistaken, he is already or will definitely be taking that vocal teaching route if he won’t debut in ZB1. I kind of forgot hehe…
@@ziorniceYes, congratulations to Hao! While WakeOne could already have plans for their idols in ZB1 after their contract period, the chances for Hao to become a mentor for a survival show, especially in China, is still very high.
Sung Hanbin is going to be a great singer his vocal tone is so good that makes people feel comfortable when they listen to it, can't wait to see his improvement in the future 😍✨
It's worth watching boysplanet, it can be considered as, after produce series one of the most successful survival show. & it's also one of the survival show that gave the best line up, Just sucks they debuted under wakeone.
I think 5th gen boy groups are really defining a lot of things for male idols. Voice colors, dance caliber, and visuals are the main things I notice and for vocals, they are bringing back the vocal standards for male idols
Watching Boys Planet in real time was so amazing! Glad to say Taerae was my 1 pick since episode 1 and even my other picks that didn't make it like Park Hanbin and Seungeon, got to showcase their great vocal skills. Truly a one of a kind show!
I doubt that he amount of available talent as shown in Boys Planet will ever be repeated. They really gathered a ridiculously large group of talented boys / young men.
Boys Planet final line up especially the top trainees really showed that being good looking, entertaining & being talented in vocal & dance can co-exist into 1. This is by far the most honest pick I've seen in any other survival shows where they mostly pick visuals, dancers, kind & entertaining trainees compared to trainees who have it all. I'm way more pleased that they managed to debut good vocalists where music is what they sell here so it only makes sense for this group to have good vocalists.
finally someone that recognizes taesans vocals! his voice is sooo pretty and his tone is very very unique, im glad you put his cover of reality in the video
Boy next door is the best in live singing and not just there voice also there appearance on stage is very wonderful they are great group with legendary talents i love them the best group in 5th gen ❤
I hope that WK1 will give ZB1 a song that really plays to their strengths as the main track on their next album. Based on the current teaser, it seems that we can have some expectations. Please stay tuned for the comeback on August 26th! ❤
As someone who loves music and singing very much I personally tend to focus on the vocal + voice quality and the rawness in that voice. And among the 5th gen vocalists I really like Sungho's voice (notice I mentioned voice and not vocals) Reason being if you watch their recording behind the scenes you can observe how much good his raw voice and vocals are, he just needs more vocal training and guidance (which kinda sucks that he's in hybe since they're very business minded and it also really not helps that his group, boynextdoor feel more like a hip-hop/rap kinda group). I also feel like his vocals aren't fully explored and definitely aren't at his full potential too. I hope he finds the right and good guidance cause he has immense potential :)
i love sungho's voice so much too, he has beautiful vocals, he's my bias but i can see that sometimes he struggles with hitting really high notes, but i know when he works and improves his technique, he will be a better vocalist than he's now
i think its bc koz is such a performance and rap based company that they don’t really focus as much on vocals but would love to see bnd improve more on their vocals since they’re so good at other aspects,, great analysis btw loved the video!!
No wonder sohee's analysis is so short, they have not fully assessed his vocal ability yet😅. But it's alright, i hope when they do, they will include sohee's predebut materials when he sings in his vocal academy (huh gak song, sofa crush, ballads, perfect ed sheeran, etc) time of our life day6 solo stage, to. X cover. At least i think sohee has big potential with range and vocal control. Plus, especially his low notes, people did not talk about his low notes enough, while i think his low notes has quality and potential to be effortless husky and smooth.
Thanks for this balanced and very informative analysis. Every group has so much to show musically and I’m so glad to hear that many of the members have improved over time. I love how RIIZE’s discography highlights their strengths and showcases their harmonies and layers. I also really appreciate ZB1’s strong vocals but somehow it seems like their vocals are at their best when they are doing covers like Start Over, Run Run and Lee Mujin service. Hopefully wakeone selects songs that suit the members well and showcase their talents more!
zb1 being number 1, i know that's right! 17:22 is so true, i hate how kpop stans were so quick to jump on them, as if they haven't already proved themselves as the best vocalists in this generation
I personally think the way you emote and deliver the song as well as your tone ultimately trumps these vocal tiers. That’s why I personally prefer BOYNEXTDOOR’s vocals. What’s the point of having great vocals if i don’t connect with your voice and your tone?
zb1 definitely has the excellent vocal line in their generation. i am surprised that matthew wasn’t ranked higher in zb1. and absolutely agree that Zhang Hao and Taerae are the best vocalists! me personally really appreciate Zhang Hao’s vocal as well as his visuals ❤
Even I'm hao bias I have to say I really like matt's tone and it really shines in lots of their lines!! He is so gifted with that charming tone it suits modern pop songs (in my opinion...) Matt and Gunwook's potential is huge if they keep developing their skills and stability
La aparición de Zhang Hao en el servicio de Lee Mujin fue elogiada por sitios web de música de renombre como NME y Genius Korea, e incluso fue elegida como una de las 3 mejores actuaciones vocales por ellos.
separate comment bc it's a bit of a different subject. re: zb1 i have two thoughts on this analysis. one is that i think jiwoong is a much better vocalist than he is given credit for and is severely underutilized in zb1. in boys planet he didn't get to sing much and worked mostly as a rapper. but he has his own pre-zb1 body of work including a number of OSTs he sung that really showcase his vocal ability, and you can hear it pretty clearly in the run run cover and also in some of zb1's b-sides. alternatively, i think gunwook, while a very good vocalist overall considering he is technically their main rapper, needs some work in his high range. he is very throaty which you can hear clearly in his choppy vibrato. but i think if he had some good training on how to better utilize his diaphragm and lift his damn soft palate (!!!!) he would be honestly unstoppable.
Honestly, when I was creating a video about their potential positions just after their formation, this was one of my concerns about Jiwoong. Given that ZB1’s vocals are already strong, he might have fewer opportunities to showcase his talent. While this would allow other members to shine, it could disadvantage him, as underutilization might hinder his improvement. However, it's important to note that this is not the fault of his fellow members; it's simply the reality of idol groups, and any industry, where sacrifices are often necessary for the group's overall success.
Regarding Gunwook, I had similar worries about his vocal opportunities, fearing he might only be given rap lines and miss out on developing his singing skills. It turns out I was overly concerned, as he has shown tremendous potential. It would be a loss not to utilize it. I'm grateful he is given vocal lines and chances to showcase his talent, but I agree that his throaty sound in the higher range indicates he still has some areas to work on.
@@EKCristobal It's a bit sad cause I really like his voice. Reminds me a lot of Taehyung from BTS, this lower velvety quality to it. And I feel like if they have given them lower range songs he could display it more. Have you seen him with Hao on this one show where they had to go higher and higher on Feel The Pop. That was quite impressive especially for Jiwoong. As I had no doubt Hao would do it.
Produce season and girls and boys planet definitely had many talented vocalist.Even though how much i hate mnet, it's kind of surprising to see in their final lineup there would be great vocalists.
as expected, our vocalbaseone are truly such amazing singers! 💗 also i know he's not the best technique wise, but i personally like ricky's vocal tone! its very soft & velvety, which i think is super unique!! also love how he sings the bridge for most of zb1's songs, it really suits him so well! although i feel like zb1 songs don't really bring out his full potential bc his covers during his lives & on youtube prove that he's so much more capable (especially his all of me cover ft taerae's harmonisation, he sounded so good there!) if u don't mind me asking, i was wondering what is his vocal tier & what is your opinion on his potential for vocal improvement? anyways thank you so much for making this video!! it was super informative & i learnt alot from it!
Thanks for the video ❤ and you can see Gunwook's latest cover, Hug me, where he shows incredible growth and a perfect performance between singing and rapping 😊
OMG ILY SM i hate how people “rank” them based on which groups they like and which they don’t . Bnd is my fav but I agree with u in this video because these 5th gens ain’t playing with vocals 😆
