Erik Benz And her health. With her technique she can sing like this for 20 plus years. The world needs her singing to comfort them. I love her so much.
That arpeggio run is incredible. Probably best Bb5 of all time. She sustained that note with vibrato and resonance after that stormy belts? Just speechless. Someone should make a compilation video of her Bb5s, and this should definitely be a top from her and the world out there.
소향버전 여러분은 진짜 작정하고 본인 테크닉의 절정의 끝판왕을 보여준 노래임. 소향이 인터뷰때도 제일 힘들다고 꼽은 노래중에 하나이기도함. 7분동안 쉬는 구간 거의 없고 하이노트 벨팅 쭉쭉 뿜으면서 열린소리 닫힌소리 셈여림 구간까지 너무 완벽함. 거기다 한국어 영어 혼합이라 가사 전달력도 그렇고 소향이 표현할 수 있는 음역대의 모든 부분을 가져다 쓴 노래. 다른 가수들은 따라하기도 힘든 아르페지오 구간은 진짜 말이 안될 정도로 부드럽게 연결되고 그냥 보는 내내 입 벌리면서 봐야 되는 노래임. 너무 테크닉에 몰두해서 어떤 사람들은 감동이 덜 느껴진다고 할 수 있지만 이걸 방송 그것도 라이브로 부른건 그냥 역사에 길이 남을 노래임. 심지어 제스쳐 표정 무대의상까지 삼박자가 탁월하고 완벽해서 소름돋을정도. 총 세 번 스타일이 바뀌는데 마지막까지 긴장의 끈을 놓치 않고 하이노트 빡빡 찍어 대는거 보면 경이로울 정도... 음도 완벽함 ㅠㅠ... 편곡도 가스펠 강점이라서 그런진 몰라도 더더욱 잘맞는 옷을 입었다고 생각됨. 대기실 프로가수들도 엄청 귀감이 되었을거라 생각됨. 다들 입떡떡 벌어져서 보는거 보는것 같이 (허각 마지막 얼굴만 봐도 '마지막 부분에서 저렇게?') 진짜진짜 들어도 들어도 소름돋는 노래
Tell me again KBS, how the hell did she not won this?!?!?!?!?!? your voting system is flawed. This performance and Arirang Alone, she could of won it all. But you let in the immature fandoms in on the vote. not fair for people with real talents like her.
This perf is truly expectacular and deserve to win but the Arirang Alone was performed when the theme was traditional songs and Song So Hee deserve that win. She's been singing traditional song since she's just a toddler. Also, its their traditional song, Koreans would have a better judgement than any foreign audience. 😘
@@eljaymalabanan8562 i really enjoy Song Sohee. She is another incredible Korean talent. Sohyang is my favorite, but if not for RU-vid, we in America would not be aware of any of them. 🤷♀️
@@babymetalsheets2764 I'm not really sure if you can say that. In all other episodes, I agree with you that Sohyang easily surpassed anyone withnher ability to support every note she produced but in the folk song episode I think Sohyang were among the inferior ones as folk song legends were there.. If I remember it right, one legend say that Sohyang had the voice that fits folk song as she can reach very high notes, so should try practicing the craft.. Important thing there is she had the voice for the genre but she doesnt have the technique. I think technique is veryimportant for their folk song as it is very unique compared to others.. So to summarize. haha. In the folk song episode, even though you judge subjectively or objectively, if you keep the theme of that episode in mind, Sohyang only had a slight chance of winning that episode.
영상 올리기전 영어자막 달렸으면 벌써 1억뷰 찍었을 영상. 내가 음악을 들은건지 영화를 본건지. 이곡이 7분짜린데..진짜 너무나 헬곡. 아마 세계 전 노래 통틀어도 TOP10안에 들어갈정도로 헬곡일듯. 진짜 어떻게 이 음역대와 엄청난 노래기술을 사용하는데도 호흡이 흐틀어지지도 않고 이 긴장감을 유지하며 감동을 전달해주는지. 진짜 와 숨죽이다가 숨넘어갈뻔했다. 이게 정녕 노래인가. 와 이게 진짜 와 소리도 안나올정도다 이건. 와 진짜 뭐라 말을해야하지 와
First and foremost SoHyang is a gospel singer and no-doubt this was a world-class gospel performance! So many techniques used in one epic song...she's in a league of her own.
+Pete Flores I wonder how other gospel vocalists would react if they watched this... I bet they'd be just as moved and would feel an even greater connection to the performance... Imagine watching the amazing Yolanda Adams react to this performance! Now that's a react video I wanna see!
John Carvajal You'd be surprised! Kirk Franklin said that when they performed together he was not prepared for the level of her skills even though he's been in the gospel music industry for decades! Really high praise from a man has worked with virtually everyone that is somebody in music.
Pete Flores Ahhh that just fills my heart! lol That performance she did with Kirk was amazing, though... couldn't expect anything but high praise from him. Just wished she wasn't so underrated/underestimated T-T
Ohmygod, I didnt know that a great singer like her exists. It's the first time that I watched her, perhaps I listened to her before and was unaware that it is her, but wow I am amazed. I was brought here due to the comments on Ailee's version of Everyone, so I watched the original version , and then got interested with this. WOW, she needs to get the recognition and views it deserves like wow. I am in awe.
Nice to meet a fellow atheist. I sometimes think that it may not be so bad to live a life having something (a god) to rely on. But there is no such thing as God. Be proud to be atheist.
Yeah when I'm existential and contemplating my existence, I think of what a joyous life it must be to GENUINELY believe there's an afterlife and that the life you live now is a mere test to what you will become, rather than absolute and unforgiving void.
If singing is the reason why you would search for GOD, not in churches of Spiritual Sodom and Egypt, but to seek first the kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness, then you have missed the point of the Gospel (GO Spell). The Gospel is a Plan, a Message of Salvation for Pure Hominids only (wheats, not tares) True seekers of the Kingdom and not one that seeks for miracles. It is the message of the Gospel which would should lead you to seek, not a SINGER. i Love So Hyang's voice! IMO she has no rival. She is amazing! But people should not speak in ignorance of spiritual realities that they do not ourselves understand.
I don't care about religions but I would go to church just to listen to her if I had the chance lmao. I love her voice and technique, not what she sings about.
I can't even with this version. So Hyang had went ahead and truly made this song her own, and arrange it into more of gospel genre (which this song is actually intending to be a gospel. I meant, the lyrics said it all). Gospel is still a foreign genre to most Asia (especially church style gospel) so I wouldn't be surprised to see the audience wouldn't like her performance as much as the original or the others. But seriously, all of the techniques she uses and utilizes are phenomenal. If you think she's screaming rather than singing, I'm not blaming you for the lack of musical background. Those screams are belts, and belts are extremely hard to do especially with higher register and voice ( So Hyang is definitely a soprano range) without sounding like a banshee, so most of her covers are up an octave or two to accommodate her voice (hence why her belts might sound higher and sound like screams).
무려 7분동안...인간의 능력을 넘어선 그무언가를 보여준 무대인거같아요.당시 평가가 '너무 과하다' 였던걸로 기억하는데...전에 본적없는 무대였기에 받아들이기 힘들었겠죠ㅋ 외국에선 교과서같은 무대다라고 극찬하던데요ㅎ난 소향님 많은 레전드 무대중에 이무대가 재일 높게 평가받아야 한다고 생각합니다. 너무 너무 멋있어요ㅎ
no idea what the lyrics are about but the tears are just streaming down my face, she sings with such pure passion and power but also refinement...it's a larger than life performance but doesn't feel histrionic at all even when showers of petals fall from the rafters, incredibly dramatic backlighting etc.. this kind of performance just strikes at the soul. glad commenters in a video i happened upon introduced me to this amazing singer
The song is about friendship and standing with others. She sings I'll be your friend, I'll be your sister in times of need. She added in the god stuff because she has a gospel singing background
When i watch Ailee performance , i was like "woah it really heartwarming and lovely" with all the kids gathering sing with her it was really lovely perfomance , but then i saw so hyang and i was like "😭😭😭😭😢😢"
I just can't believe it she lost! OMG! I mean, why the audience can't heard her virtuosity and emotion when she is perform!?. But, i proud of you So Hyang! Love from Indonesia
There is no proper word to describe Sohyang's singing. It's beyond perfection.. Sometimes even feel that so many things are not talked about just because of her technical brilliance. She is just too perfect.
나가수 1기 때 임재범이 아픈 가운데도 온힘을 다해 불렀던 여러분이 역대 최고일듯 했는데...역시 여러분은 가스펠 소울이 있어야 진정한 노래의 의미와 깊이가 듣는 사람의 영혼 감정을 건드리는 것 같다. 소향의 최고 무기가 돌고래 소리내는 고음이라고들 하지만 진짜 감동은 그녀의 소울에서 나오는게 이 노래가 증명한다. 정말 최고다!
Ranking does not matter when the audiences are lucky enough to witness a performance like this. What Sohyang amazes me is that she always improves, even though she is already over-qualified, not only as a CMM, but also an artist. In addition to her effortless slayage during the Korean part of this song (as always), the idea of integrating a gospel style of delivering this song is just beyond imagination. The English part is just full of pure power, comfort and reprise. Love her so much!
+Mao Blair Original version of this song is a gospel. It was written and sung by Yoon Bok Hee, and she intended to write a gospel song from the beginning. The Korean lyrics seems unrelated to gospel, but there's an interpretation from Bok Hee herself that it is a gospel meani ng hidden in the song and the english part is pretty obvious.
Mariah is one of my favorite vocalists, but SoHyang can give Mariah a run for her money. She possesses superb vocal technique, otherwordly vocal stamina and breath control, and her voice is so connected. She's the songbird of the universe. I would love to learn how to sing from SoHyang or her mentor.
Mariah has better musicianship, plus she is more versatile in singing lol, plus Mariah's vocal color is beautiful..while Sohyang can be ugly and nasal at times. i really hate her voice sometimes, what is technique if u don't have beautiful voice color like mariah and whitneh srsly
+taehyung is the father it's a matter of preference , clearly, I prefer SoHyang to every singer out there, you clearly prefer Mariah. I personally think Mariah was only good in her prime years 20/30s and now is prone to lip syncing or singing pretty poorly in her performances with the occasional alright performance, in my opinion, whereas this performance was less than a year ago, and SoHyang is/is nearly, 40 years old and still smashing it out, and she performed something in June or July that was great considering she had a lung infection and great not considering it, so there's why I prefer SoHyang over Mariah any day , and that's not even getting into her vocal ability.
As a Singer myself, once I discovered So Hyang my senses has been opened more about devotion to the music. She is the perfect example of love transformed into voice. I made first reactions about her several times, but this songs makes me cry 😢 of joy. 7 minuets of rollercoaster of emotions. If you ever read this comment dear SoHyang you must know that I admire you and I love you as sister ❤️❤️❤️. Lucia
Yeees she is so much more than vocal technician. Of course she is one of the best vocalists of our time, I know.. but she is too outwordly special. Don't know how to describe. She has unbelievable spiritual power..
We don't need English subtitles because we feel her performance every time she sings, I'm English and music doesn't revolve around the English language 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️
Hmmmm, seems there are much fewer haters this time. Where did the rest go? Maybe most of them just couldnt find a weakness in this performance. Sohyang is like wine, she gets better over time!
She is definitely my favorite female singer :D I don't easily get goosebumps and I definitely don't cry when people sing, but So Hyang always gets me to tear up!! :O :D
너무 아쉬워요.... 이걸 소향 영어이름과 영어 자막 넣어서 올렸더라면 아마도 방탄 블핑과 함께 전 세계를 씹어먹을 전설의 공연실황이 되었을거라고 생각되네요. 정말 저런 고음과 고난이도로 7분의 러닝타임을 저런 열정과 흡인력과 완벽한 두성과 흉성을 포함한 진성으로 불러낼 수 있는 가수가 세상에 다시 나올 수 있을지가 의문이고, 그런 소향에게도 이 공연이야말로 백미였다고 생각됩니다. 지금이라도 세계로 눈을 더 열어주시고 저작권 걸어잠그기 보다는 국익을 위한 개방으로 생각을 바꿔주시면 좋겠습니다.
The whole performance is simply extraordinary but 4:22 until the Bb5 just gave me a very heavenly feeling. The beat, instrumental, background vocals, and her voice as well.. speechless. Really.. world class *hands down*
So Hyang is technically stronger and this is an amazing performance but, for me, there's something in Ailee's version of the song that feels a little warmer and I prefer it over this. My favorite So Hyang is probably Bridge Over Troubled Water.
Ailee kept it very close to the original song since it was a tribute to the original artist who was in the audience. She kept the original lyric intact as well.
Bryan J even I like sohyang version more i agree with the part that Ailee version gives you warmer vibes, because her voice is much ticker and the arrangement tell something like "Ill give you hug friends" while sohyang version is like injection of energy and support and reminder that "IM HERE MATE!!"
소향씨 본인도 가장 힘들었던 노래를 꼽으라면 '여러분'이라고 하셨던 인터뷰가 기억납니다 7분 넘게 이렇게 강렬하고 완벽하게 치명적이게 듣는 사람을 꼼짝 못하고 함께 전율하게 만드는 소향님♡ 사랑합니다 너무나 쉽게 클릭 한번이면 찾아 들으수 있는 유투브에도 무한 감사합니다 자랑스런 대한민국의 디바! 영원하시길~~
Sohyang is the best singer in this decade - worldwide. There is no one who can even start to compare with her. Ever since I heard her the first time many years ago she made an unforgettable impression - and she still does.
No doubt Sohyang is marvelous technically and vocally. But those who focus on her vocal agility and brilliance are missing the most important aspect of her singing, and that is her emotion and ability to reach and touch your heart and soul. When you listen to her and focus on her singing, who cares about her vocal prowess?! Her singing will go from your head to your heart. She just has that ability. What else can I say about her. Love her!!!
세계에 어느 디바와 견주어도 전혀 손색이 없다. 단순히 테크닉 뿐인 가수였다면 그렇지 못했겠지만 테크닉보다 더 멋진 그 이상의 경지를 보여주는 가수.. 해외에서 난리인 이유가 달리 있지 않은듯 함.. 한국 음악, 보컬리스트들이 탑의 반열에 오르는 날이, 지금보다 더 큰 인정을 받는 날이 머지 않은 듯 함
I watch Ailee's performance after this and I had goosebumps. I returned here and I had it again but some tears joined. I realized that I always cry when Sohyang sings. She didn't win in the program but she is winning the world
Sohyang is just far beyond the reach of understanding we had before about great singers. I'm just having the sense of overwhelming awe. Her incredibe vocal prowess, her bravery to have such extremely difficult live performances, her storming emotions, her powerful delivery, I mean everything about Sohyang is just too phenomenally stunning.
After watching this video completely made me understood why mr Bolten said she reached to the level of virtuoso. She really is. I knew she was good but not this damm good.
I actually don't believe I have ever heard a performance as truly incredible and just mind blowing. What a blessing it is to exist in an era with such a talent ❤️
i am really really not have any words to describe Sohyang...i am cried when she is reach the part she sing alone...damn fanstastic good!Love you so much...I dont care the result!as long as Sohyang share her music with everyone! Fighting!Sohyang!
I liked both their renditions with ailee. But I had this I can see your voice contestant that made me cry hard with this song. i just can't remember his name
OH wow, she definitely brought her gospel heart once again here. The English lyrics she sung, tugged at me. Amen! How quiet the stage was when she was singing without the music - wow!! Its like she was singing to Heaven and praying to our Lord. Beautiful :)
This performance is underrated!!!! Even the singer is belittled... She should be the angel singing to depressed patients.... She's so so good... Omg I love this😩
이제서야 소향의 노래를 처음 들었습니다. 50 평생 음악을 들으면서 처음으로 느껴보는 전율인것 같습니다. 이십여년전에 조수미씨 콘서트가서 너무 맑고 아름다운 소리에 매료되어서 한동안 다른 음악을 듣지 못했던 기억이 있는데, 이건 전혀 다른 차원의 감동이네요. 이 무대가 신기록을 세우면서 일등을 못했다는게 충격인데요, 한국인들에게 익숙하지 않은 가스펠 장르, 영어가 섞였다는 점, 그리고... 또 한가지 추측해 보는건 이 무대와 음향시설이 소향의 엄청난 가창력을 담아내기에 부족함이 있지 않았나... 추측일뿐입니다. 콘서트갔을때 스피커 소리가 너무 크고 웅웅 거려서 제대로 감상을 못한 경험들이 있거든요... 어쨋든 소향 노래들 하나씩 찾아 봐야겠습니다. 너무 기대가 되네요.
I got goosebumps... I've never had those because of someone's singing and my feelings are hard to get but I felt like I crying at any moment, this girl should be known around the world. She has something that moves the hearts of people with her flawless voice. Please give her lots of love and support, let's spread this to everyone we know and add people to her fan list, she truly deserves recognition!
This tells everything you need to understand about So Hyang. her skill, her passion, what drives her. And why she is considered a national treasure. As humble as she is brilliant.
유독 소향 영상만 해외나 국내 차단을 많이 하는것 같다 이 영상도 잠깐 나왔다가 차단 되어서 조회수가 너무 적다 다른 일반 가수들 동영상이 몇천 찍고 있는데 소향 동영상만 차단 들어가더라~~ 제발 방송국 관계자님들 차단좀 그만 하시고 대한민국에 이런 대단한 가수가 있다는 것을 더욱 홍보해야 하는게 아닌가요?
