Classical Vocalists React: EXO Baekhyun & Chen 'Really I Didn't Know' Immortal Songs 2 

Same XD

Luciana Magali same lmao

ajajajajaja same xD

Luciana Magali everytime he breathes

Every time I see you~~

Oleolen Orenka Oh my gosh I remember! I can't believe I didn't remember until I read your comment.

Oleolen Orenka I think the same thing too when they mentioned his cheekbones 😂

Vicky T Ikr...I'm always smiling proudly when they r being praised for their talent by non fans. Proud exol

Vicky T omg same i felt so happy when they were praising them

SAME. AS A STAN IM LIKE SOOO PROUD OF THEM! AND I WANT TO BOAST THEM TO THE WORLD

Vicky T ..l feel the same..

As an exol, I feel the same

owh no no nct is superhumans.. exo? EXO IS THE FREAKIN ALIEN FRM EXOPLANET. hehehehehe

Up.. up..

They don't have a lot of songs that put a lot of strain on their throats. MAMA and Wolf was years ago. And they only sing Drop That once in a while. Most of their new songs are more in the lower range. I mean it should be in the lower range so that other members can sing too.

They’re aliens with supernatural power, that’s why

to be fair baek did mention recently that he changed how he vocalises! so i'm sure along the way they have found better ways to sing and techniques that are better for them to sing in the longer run ~

Im here

Chen's Cheekbones OMG XD

Xiumin got up to a fucking C

chen is

fr tho

but i honestly think they do,that is basically why there is always meme about how they "fight for lines".Cuz they both suit kinda the same for a lot high note/lines. Kyungsoo also said something about it (im not a vocalist nor music pro at all but D.O explained that most line he is given are only suitable for him amongst the three main vocalists cuz his has an overall lower tone than baekhyun and chen?)

@@ptitefraise5151 I think when it comes to vocal colour, they sound extremely different and easily recognisable but maybe when it comes to what they're capable of doing? Like in EXO's songs, although technically speaking, these two have different strengths (Chen and low register for instance), they can still nail about every line slightly in a similar way. I guess that could be because back during EXO-M/K days, they always had the same lines since the group was separated.

@@nctsgrass yeah exactly I think so too

It was such an interesting thing to hear. I'm not a professional vocalist, but to me, the tone of their voice is REALLY different. I mean Baekhyun has a more smokey voice, Chen's more whiny (not in a wrong way, but it is).

Stacey Caldo i forgot they were rookies when singing this...............WHAT i want sm to remake this cover again in 2019!

Stacey Caldo I didn’t know it was THAT long ago

and they become trainees less than a year. exo members with the shortest training period.

Maybe now they would sing that 2 keys higher and hit it straight bullseye! 😍

imagine if they sing this NOW

Bang Minah omg Baek my bias but I be the Chen in this case

Like no even the entire song just chens high note lmao

Natalie Intharak why ??? If his notes here were strained why do you think that nite would be better tho?

or baekhyuns in el dorado

i legit just commented the same thing they would be so shook

Natalie Intharak I second to this 😍

And Xiumin still beat them in the note challenge

@@HisSnuggleBear18 honestly even I was shook when D.O mentioned that between all three (D.O, Chen & Baek) the one that can hold the highest one was actually XiuMin, the 'secret' member of vocal line😂

@@OmiOmislysolofficial I thought luhan was the one

@@pinyueliu1897 nope it's Xiu

Far Dini I watched exoshowtime, in that episode luhan beat everyone in that game

This comment needs to be higher up!

And that's exactly why I love their voices. I've only recently started coming to look at SM artists (specifically EXO, I already knew I liked the voices of the members of SHINee and SNSD), but knowing that their technique became better, they progressed through the years, etc... That to me is more superhuman than the idea that they are inherently amazing.

Yes! ❤️

Singing this now would put baekchen the LEGEND. People to adore and be proud of instead of putting them to shame coz they were rookies then by fact.

CiraCookie JDBDJNDJXNDHSKSKDBFB

CiraCookie 😂😂😂 yeah they do

So did EXO Showtime

suho said that lol

Both Baekhyun and Chen are wonderful singers. Exo is an exceptional group Baekhyun's voice sounds like and angle singing!

igot7-lu just I like beakhyun voice so much... But Chen's voice is so unique

me too actually. baekhyuns voice is my fav in exo, but i know chens voice is like one of the best in kpop

for me i like chen's voice more, i mean baek sounds so beautiful too but i think i prefer chen's voice, he has an angelic voice (btw suho and xiumin are my favorite voices in exo so far, their voices are so beautiful and unique especially xiumin! and im not talking about their techniques, it's just how their voices naturally sound, but definitely chen and baek has better techniques than them!) actually all exo members sound so good even chanyeol, his deep voice is one of my favorite so it's really hard to pick only one tbh...

I like baekhyun's voice more, like chen may have a better technical wise but I think baekhyun's voice make me feel more emotional with more feeling.

deep blue LOL, same. Uniqueness of Xiumin voice is everything for me. His tone is amazing. I love D.O tho too :) It's the same for me in BTS. The marvelously unique voice of Jimin takes my heart over better technique that JK and V have.

Exactly

The last B4 "yeah" note was done by Baekhyun tho

Of course ^_^ once you talked about EXO's Golden Vocalist you can't just forget about D.O. Chen, Baekhyun, D.O, this three are one of the best vocalist/singer not just in SM but in Korean Music Industry. :)

I think D.O is not underrated tho. A lot of people really love his voice and how melodic it is. Most reactors I've watched are amazed of Chen and Baekhyun but their favorite is D.O.. If we are talking about underrated, then it's our Leader Suho and the sexy unicorn Lay. T_T

How do you spell Legendary Kings, It's E X O exactly i notice that too. Even back then, many ppl love his voice because of his tone quality.

@@emembayhon and I am one of the Chen and baeky have an amazing voice but kyungsoo is my favorite one ..

meeeeee

Elaine Kan ME

Elaine Kan YASSSS CHEN WILL SLAY EM

HOLY JESUS YESSSS

When you think perfection is enough.

stan jongdae agreed

I can imagined that

yesyesyes they're my favourite performances ever

YES that performance was spectacular, I've watched it so many times omg

yessssss his performances were so good this please!

Yes

He still strains it's just that he doesn't go as high as he used to

Well in this song, they both actually hit the same 'highest' chest note which was B4, but Chen did sing more of the high notes. The last B4 "yeah" was Baekhyun.

Gabrielle Villegas same!!!!

I stan his dorkiness

yes...me too

yassss

SAME!!! :)

that's not true though

@@Sidsahoy No it's not...Baekhyun's falsetto notes are just more smooth not more controlled and he does better in the fifth octave overall but they both strain above A4 and Chen's doesn't have a higher range but rather longer

@@Sidsahoy you're totally right I think that way too I just wanted to look stupid

@@Sidsahoy sorry from me too...we are one

If you guys want to look at it this way, I remember there was this EXO'S weekly idol episode during Wolf era when they did a high note battle and it was determined that D.O was the one with the 'lowest' high note range(? Sorry I dunno much abt vocal related stuff) followed by BaekHyun - Chen - XiuMin so between all of them Xiu was the one who can reach the 'highest' note but I'm not sure now since that episode was like more than 4-5 years ago and I'm not an expert in music but I'm just a fan. Sorry if I got wrong tho

it's your white tshirt actually 6 months

Serenity Øne & Ønlŷ isnt it 7?

Intan Putri nope 6 months both came at the same time and debuted same time.

it's your white tshirt not to mention baekhyun had to change completely his vocalisation.

it's your white tshirt Chen and baekhyun trained for less than 6 months tbh.Not even a year.

Akiko Ackerman I totally agree, Chen has this certain quality to his singing that puts him slightly above the others. I'd also like to add that I feel like D.O.'s strength is doing ablibs because he does them so smoothly and effortlessly.

Now thinking about it thoroughly, I agree that DO's adlibs are more suitable for him than singing a strong melody. It's great to hear that someone agrees with my opinion of EXO's main vocals😊

Chen also has the best technique. Actually, a website that analyzes kpop vocalists and idols ranked them Chen >>>> D.O > Baekyhun.

In my opinion, Baekhyun's vocal techniques are slightly better than Kyungsoo's. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Kyungsoo's vocals but I prefer Baek's. Chen tops all though XD. It's one of the main reasons why Chen is my bias wrecker. It's his amazing voice (and the fact that he's a troll😂). Baekhyun is also my bias (along with Luhan because OT12 for life and I can't choose just one bias😅). Satansoo is so adorable I can't help but fangirl over how squishy he is😍. I truly love EXO's Main Vocals❤️

Baekyhun: kpopvocalanalysis.net/2015/03/11/exos-vocal-analysis-baekhyun/ D.O: kpopvocalanalysis.net/2016/12/24/exos-vocal-analysis-d-o-rewritten/ Here, this will explain it more on why D.O is slightly better than Baekyhun. These are vocal analyses, and they have analyzed both singers.

It's actually 11. 4months when they got in + 7months before their official debut. They trained a total of 11 months. Both have mentioned it. And both have had lessons way before debut that's why they they sounded really good and that's why they got in during the auditons. Like others they went through series of auditions. These two were the last piece that completed EXO.

Sadly Johnny not part of it Have to wait after Red Velvet

Safiya Rehman im not exo-l either but D.O is so good his voice perfect

YAS!

Yes

Lee- MusicLover if you compare techniques in exo it's actually chen>d.o>baekhyun

Safiya Rehman i agree with u 😂😂

Moza Azhary they're obsessed with high notes as much as they are obsessed with their looks 😄😄😄

Sheryl Martinez shut up. Everyone is obsessed with looks so don't just group Koreans together

There's a snakeu in my boot wym lol you can deny it all you want but a lot of Koreans care for looks, to the point where it is obsessive. It _is_ a fashion capital, soooo

Obviously it's kpop,what'd you expect?what about american pop(who are the most famous singers in pop industries these days-ariana grande,harry styles,justin bieber blah blah blah)😂😂it's the same thing so stop attacking kpop's you stereotypical stupid people,i think just because you've ONLY hear about kpop which international fans are so obsessed with you think the whole music industries sounds like that but it doesn't,please listen to classical singers like Sumi Jo,Jongmin Park,the list goes on then you can mock and generalize the korean music industry

We're sorry for trying to look presentable.

Luana Souza I really want them react to this 🙏

Luana Souza Yaasss

Nara Qian yes please

Nara Qian YES PLS WE WANT TO SEE THEM REACT TO THOSE SONGS :)

Nara Qian yup yoo young jin wrote many song for Super Junior and SNSD before

#KOKOBOP100MILLION Has that would be amazing!

#KOKOBOP100MILLION agree

Yes please!!!!!

Hani Coco OMG! I had no idea he sang that song! Kyuhyun from super junior (first bias ever) sang that song and I love it! now Chen my​ bias in Exo did it too???

they have great voices that fit the song well! ;; w;;

Yes! Please make this!!!

BAZISSINO 94 yeah chen is really amazing.. his vocals are no joke, great range and control too

Lena it a bit old but still one of their best... Vocaly it one of im2 best performances too , they showcased a good support, good dynamic ...they did improve Chen have A2 , Baekhyun can produce head voice with a bit more consistency . he's also more comfortable in his mix his G4 - A4 improuved

Not the best. The A2 here isn't that good, he has done better A2s. Onew also has a strong developed lower register, and Kyuhyun too. Chen here started pulling his larynx on B4s. I wouldn't list this has his best performance even tho the A4s were resonant here.

I didn't say The A2 here it his best his mask king performance has the best A2 i know lol ^^ , i said it one of best as a due they did fine within their supported range , Chen still have stronger lower range than Both onew and kyuhyun ... chen have the strongest lower range next to dongha onew have B2 and can be breathy sometimes even above , chen and dongha have wayy better chest placement than all the tenors i heard

Yeah IK Chen's lower register>Onew & Kyuhyun, I edited my comment. IDK why I said more. IDK Dongha properly to comment on him, his mix though is excellent (head voice too). They should react to Dongha, Sohyang, Kyuhyun, SSY, Shannon etc. as well.

YES PLEASEEEEEE!

Karen Scott YESSSS BAEKHYUN!!!

ChüTïng YES PLEASE DO THIS

ChüTïng he is indeed one of the high quality singers in kpop industry.

Sehun's OHORAT Did you even listen to what they were saying. They were talking so much because they WERE LISTENING and analyzing.

Same

Ooooooooh

Aaaaaaaahhh

Omg yes please

Rachael Choi yesssss

I want to suggest this too. I just love sohyang so much.

YES! Exactly what I came here to say

AND SON SEUNG YEON!

Honestly El Dorado is legendary

Soomi L I can guess it clearly they'd notice & liked D.O's ability to perform fast & complicated runs with amazing precision right away.

Yaaaaas! D.O. definetely needs more appreciation :)

Soomi L yeah I need that reaction in My life

Soomi L yea I wish they could react to do

Soomi L Yaaas , pls!!

so true

i'm not a vocalist nor did i learn vocal stuff but i think both are mostly breathy falsetto and not challenging notes i doubt they provide good insight of his vocal technique.

Move__ I think you're being a bit too hard on them. They're still in college, still learning. Some of them even still a freshmen. They're not expert yet. You should've not expect their evaluation to be a hundred percent on point.

I see. I didn't know that they were this young. I apologize for the harshness. I reacted in this way because they the two male singers in the video seemed very confident in their assertion that the Korean singers had bad technique, which may misinform the viewers of this video.

But Chen and Baekhyun also only had 3 months to train before their debut, and this was 2 years after their debut so their technique might have not been 100% what they are now. I know absolutely nothing about technique or vocal training stuff but just something to keep in mind ;-;

Training periods may vary but it's intensity is what changes their improvement. For what I know baekhyun and Chen had vocal training prior to entering SM entertainment as trainees (some people also have a ability to learn how to sing! I have a friend that never had singing lessons but is consistent with the basics of singing), what didn't happen to Suho that had 7 years of training and isn't quite as good as them. Some people comment how trainees have very different schedules of training, how Johnny (from NCT, until like 2014) and Yeri (from Red Velvet) weren't "full-time" trainees. So basically you may have had 3 months of training but knowing yourself and your instrument versus someone who don't know a thing and has a very sparse/different training schedule. Chen, Baekhyun & D.O all had very vocal-based training schedules, while Suho might had not! Or just had more trouble on his singing. Similar case happened to Sulgi/Wendy. Seulgi trained for 7 years and Wendy for much less, but the later had a much better understanding/ease with her instrument while Seulgi admited herself that she almost gave up because she felt like she was stuck on her skills. Anyways! Just know that people are different and also training schedules are also different for every idol.

marsh mallow I don't know about Chen, but Baek had a singing teacher since he was 11 I think

Inquisitve m I think he has the vastest range 😊

Kiana Shams I think it's fair to say that D.O is the most versatile out of the EXO vocal line? In terms of technique? Is it just me? He may not have the range like Baekhyun and Chen does, but I think D.O definitely is the one who will last in the industry or it's more proper to say that he has the best techniques, close to how classical musicians preserve their voice. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've had some lessons before, but I'm not sure if they amount to something. But for now, I do think that D.O is the one who can play with his vocals. It's like he unlocked 8/10 of his voice.

Inquisitve m not only Chen! Baekhyun and D.O. Chen are Vocal Kingss no one can beat them

Krystl L well i wouldn't go that far...

This video was like years ago. They've been improved. Chen currently is the best vocalist in EXO, then Kyungsoo and 'BAE'khyun. Low register: Chen >> D.O >>> Baekhyun. Mixed register: Chen > D.O >> Baekhyun. High register: Baekhyun > Chen >> D.O. Range: Baekhyun - 3 octaves,3 notes,1 semitone; Chen - 3 octaves, 3 notes; D.O - 3 octaves and 1 semitone. Agility: D.O(no need to explain) >> Baekhyun > Chen. Baekhyun is the only EXO vocalist that able to produce a connected head voice. Chen's the most developed low register in male tenor idols. (Awesome blog, learn more about Kpop vocal technique - kpopvocalanalysis.net/ )

stvdees Yes! Hugo and Jeremy were impressed 😄

Laura Linse Velasco same after i watched baek, chen and d.o's paradise song i immediately bcm baekhyun biased. idk but there's something with his voice that makes me fell inlove with him
