Opera Singer Reacts to Sohyang Where Are You | Performance Analysis | 

This should be known as one of Soyang’s greatest performances, but because it was difficult to find a good video (the original has her interview dubbed over the climax of the song), it does not get the run it should. Thank you for this… one of my faves!

No matter what So Hyang sings, Korean or English, I wind up with, um, something in my eye before it's over. What a blessing to have So Hyang and her performances available for the world to experience! Thank you for your inciteful analysis!

This is one of my top 5 favorite So Hyang performances that hardly gets reacted to. That's a shame but I am sure glad you did. Nice job and keep it up. You are very knowledgeable and we appreciate it.

The climax of this song is one of my favorites 🔥

No one can sing like that without years and years of training. To achieve anything in life you must work for it. She deserves it.

pls react to more of her! she's SO amazing

I have tried to preserve the poetic beauty of this song as much as possible by writing a poetic but fairly accurate translation. [Title: Beloved, where are you?] Even now in my memory Remains your tears, beloved Now in my heart lingers Buried grief I keep against my will Even your departing, Was it all misfortune? Looking at the rainy road You spring up in me again Still to this day the together-times The many that we spent, I draw Each breath-span containing them Flooding tears they me make Even your departing, Was it all misfortune? Looking at the rainy road You spring up in me again. Still to this day the together-times The many that we spent, I draw Each breath-span containing them Flooding tears they me make The picture of your returning - My greatly pleased heart drawing it - How it keeps making tears flow! 00000000h . . . They remain in time flooding me with tears! The picture of your returning - My greatly pleased heart drawing it - How it keeps making tears flow! Beloved, where are you?

Sohyang is a great singer and has an angelic voice. She's got the magic she makes me happy and sad

This is not a typical request of Sohyang. Good on you for stepping out of the box!

This song has some intensely emotional lyrics, and it shines through in her voice. One of her best performances in my opinion. Thanks for the reaction!

She’s the best singer there is IMO 1) the person she is her love for singing and god 2) technique is on a different level 3) She takes any song does it her way leaves enough room to leave the originality of the song and put her technique and heart into every performance 4) she can have the softest tone and sing any song but if you really watch and listen to most of her singing videos every song has a meaning to her which makes her act out he song and gets lost in it 5) she has turned down many record deals with huge companies which is rare these days she does it her way 6) she’s Just amazing and such a beautiful person

She's just so so good! 🔥🎤💜👏🏾

I've listen to this a hundred times already and still counting..🤣

Thank you for your detailed analysis. Don't see a lot of reactions to this performance, which is a shame as it is one of her best in terms of technical skill and emotional delivery along with "Everyone"

Kim, So Hyang is Always Welcome When Kim, So Hyang sings, she never takes on a patronizing attitude. She never forces us. Rather, she always tries to empathize with us, offering unconditional love.If there should be only one word to define her music, that must be "Love". She always talks about Love and embodies it singing a song. Love is what she's all about. And, in her Love, there is no place for judging and pushing. So we only have to listen and enjoy her blessing of Love without any pressure. I hope all of you guys will get through your own nights with her comfort. Don't be fooled by the thought that there's no more room for improvement in her vocals. It seems against the course of nature, but her development is ongoing🙂 At 43 yrs old still very Relevant

Thank you for your reaction. SoHyang is my queen. I have tremendous respect for her. She resonates love and sincerity in her singing.

Not only is she my favorite but at 67 she is the best I've ever heard she does something emotionally to me every time!

This song makes me cry every time I swear to god😭

So Hyang said in an interview that she was trained by Seth Riggs who was the vocal coach for Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, etc. Her musical influence has been Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. So Hyang at a young age was a famous Gospel singer and one of the most successful CCM artist having toured all around the world. I watched her CCM concert live back in the late 2000's in NY and she was unbelievable. She was singing much more high notes and not as refined as now but still a force of nature. I honestly think if her career was not stunted by her fight with cancer and the constant health issues, she has been facing, she would have been world famous.

Sohyang is crazy good! Nice breakdown!! Didn't understand the lyrics but when music is this beautiful it Transends language! That is the beauty of music.

I remember reading that she was in a lot of pain when she sang that song. She left the stage crying because she thought she made a mistake. I don't her it. I heard perfection.

One of my all time favorites of hers, which sadly does not get reacted to very often. Thank you for a great reaction and analysis. Loved it. Look forward to more Sohyang reactions.

Thank you for the reaction. So Hyang is one of my favorite singers. And of course I know it isn't Christmas time now, but please react to her cover of ''O Holy Night'' from Immortal songs. It's so beautiful! You won't be disappointed. P.s. Seth Riggs was one of her vocal coaches.

Finally someone reacts to this piece of art. And you picked the right video, too. There is another one where they mixed her interview with the peak of the song and destroyed everything. And your analysys is just top. There are a lot of another amazing performances on Masked Singer: From sadest Dear Love to rock stile Monalisa.

Her song and beauty are indescribable. Even her movements are so beautiful. Only she's like a black hole to me. So I can't escape. Thanks for the reaction.

Thanks a lot, That's a gem that is rarely reacted to which is a shame as i think it's one of her most beautiful songs. As for her F3s she has hit quite a few of those in multiple songs and they were rich and resonant. Can't wait for you to check more of her and you will see how amazing she is.

I'd love to watch your analysis of SoHyang singing "Misty", "Never Enough" and "Lean On Me"

Crazy thing is that she's mostly self taught. I think she grew up singing in the church, then she took like 3-5 sessions from a star vocal coach in the states in her late 20s and she just kept training herself.

So Hyang is definitely my favorite singer. It's her incredible emotion that she incorporates into her music and how she adds so much color to every note she sings. Her songs are tangible. I'd love to see you react to her performance of "Misty" from the Begin Again Korea series, as well as her performance of "Do You Know" on King of Masked Singer in Korea.

Hermosa reacción ☺️ eres muy talentosa y sabes apreciar a esta gran cantante ! Saludos de Chile 🇨🇱🤙😎

OMG ! Sohyang ! She is out of this world ! 🤩 Thanks.

THX’s Jess ♥️ SoHyang & enjoyed ur analysis very much! While this isn’t reacted to a lot, imo it’s one of her best & very emotional perf, (she really dug deep)! Now .. If you ask SoHyang, about vocal training .. she’ll always respond .. God given. ✌️Take Care Jess xo

She is currently the best singer in the world.

I love Sohyang ❤❤❤

Spectacular!! Soul Scrubbiing Emotional Performance!!

Thank you so much for great analysis and reaction. Absolutely I agree with you. She is just amazing and so emotional. You must be a great vocal teacher. Please more react to Sohyang. Have a nice day.

She is simply the best female vocalist on the planet in my opinion. Love your expertise and analysis. Please do more of her. Her cover of Michael Bolton's arraignment of 'Lean On Me' you would love I think. Cheers.

Oh no! So bummed I ended up missing the premiere, work really kicked my butt yesterday and I just couldn’t wake up in time 🤦🏿‍♂️ But that’s alright, I’m so glad you were able to get it up over here! Thanks again Jess, definitely appreciate all you do! 😁😁 Can’t wait for more Sohyang, and hopefully less issues with copyright 🤞🏿

Here are two female Korean singers of very high note. One is So Hyang [One of the World Best 6 Vocalists on Critic of Music, World Vocal Assessment Site.(Vocal Rating : STAR). D3-C#6-A6-Eb7. Soul, R&B, Jazz, CCM, Beautiful Voice, Resonance, Delivery, Delicate, Ethereal, Stunning, Eyes-watering, Out of This World. She overcome cancer and pneumonia. Lirico Soprano. Amazing points are below.]. The other is Park Kiyoung(F6. Rock, Cross-over, World No.1 youtube views of Nella Fantasia). 1. So Hyang 1) Bridge over troubled water ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C6iHh4yBxCo.html (Despite the high notes, she emphasized Chest Voice. Incredible!) 2) You raise me up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-te_L9ofhUt8.html (She struggled against pneumonia and phlegm which is fatal to a singer, and was told not to sing by the doctor. But she turned a deaf ear to this advice and by a miracle suceeded in this stage in the middle of an IV. But after this performance, she dread this disease(only singers can know), became lethargic and was rarely seen in public for about 2 years. One day she saw and was inspired by the words of Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Then she returned.) 3) I have nothing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CFtRUSPxcas.html 4) Lean on me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvsgCllcNPE.html 5) I will always love you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DO845EqU3eE.html 6) Arirang alone ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zFyndK9VOCk.html 7) Misty (Jazz) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CU8AKUBM9BQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5oBdTq0S_LU.html 8) Hug me -> This song is a dialogue between lovers. Whenever So Hyang sings this song, she is about to cry. So I guess, in my opinion, this song can be a dialogue between a human and God. I heard she was upset that she had pneumonia and lost her voice. While she struggled against pneumonia, she sang this song.

So Hyang is one of my favorite female singers alive today, if not all time. The way she immerses herself into each of “her” arrangements is mind blowing. I’d like to emphasize “her” arrangements because not only does she have one of the best voices in the world she also arranges or recomposes every song she performs. Don’t know if it is true but I have read she used to sing along while listening to Whitney, Mariah & Celine songs on albums she owned. Singing/performing for her began in her church. What blows my mind also is the fact that she is self taught. I read where she did take a couple of professional singing lessons in her late 20’s. I believe she is 43 now and is also is a cancer survivor. I call what she does better than anyone else in the world “vocal posturing”. I know that is not a music industry term but that’s what I call it. I think everyone understands! If you have not done so already do yourself a favor and read her story. She is amazing!

What a great great reaction and analysis!! I've been this video more than 10 times only on your channel!! It's a joy to me sharing a same feeling from other singer like you!!

I watched the continuation of this video after she’d finished singing & she wasn’t happy with the performance as she came off stage. She thought she hadn’t performed as well as she can, which I think shows just how high her standards are. I myself thought it was amazing. Sohyang hasn’t spent years having vocal training, it’s all down to her & natural ability & practice,however, she only learnt to sing in her mixed voice after visiting the US & came across a vocal coach called Seth Riggs, who has worked with many famous artists, but is known for his work with Michael Jackson. He taught her how to sing in mixed voice using the ‘ney ney ney’ method ( I will try & locate the video of her explaining this & demonstrating the difference in sound for you if you’d be interested). And now she is often referred to as the ‘queen of mix’. Her impeccable technique allows her to literally sing any genre, rock,pop, blues/jazz, obviously the big ballads, & there is even a video of her rapping (the song ‘day day’ from the ‘begin again Korea series), although I have yet to see evidence of her singing opera. I would be confident that if she decided to try opera, given the appropriate training, she would do well. Having said that, I am no expert on opera, that’s your department, so I wonder what you think. Apart from the fact that Sohyang herself wasn’t happy with this performance, I think this song doesn’t show what she is capable of. I think some of her most memorable performances are where she is covering songs that we here in the west are already familiar with, not just for her amazing vocals but because these performances also show her talent for musical arrangements. ‘Bridge over troubled water’, ‘Lean on me’, from the show ‘immortal songs 2’. ‘I have nothing’ from the DMC festival or there are a number of covers in her appearances in the ‘begin again Korea’ series which were filmed throughout the pandemic, so they are up to date. The performances in this series are all outdoors, as live as you can get & of a more acoustic nature with very little, & at times no musical accompaniment, so her voice is really exposed & believe me, she killed it. There is one performance though that I think you will really like & that is her performance of ‘Arirang Alone’ from the series ‘immortal songs’. It is not opera but I think the orchestral arrangement will appeal to you. She changed the song from a really simple Korean folk song in to the more anthemic version that you are hopefully going to witness yourself.

Great reaction! Thanks!

I can’t wait omg

The best singer, Beautiful Sohyang! It gives dreams, hopes, impressions. 👍

You should see how she sings now its crazy good

Please do The Fate next!! That song and performance is so underrated! It’s on the same stage as this song. Such beauty

She just like a wailing Siren in classic Myths.. She trained by Seth Riggs!

Wow this song iss next level…I never expected u to react👏🏻👏🏻

OMG finally 😍☺️ Edit: I recommend you to react to Mamamoo. They're Queens of vocals! They're so unique from other girl groups and they're absolutely amazing and talented. Their performances on immortal song are amazing! (My favourites are "the way to sampo" and "backwoods") 😊🥰

This is my favorite SoHyang performance ever. The build up of starting low and breathy to lur in and then BOOM.

I missed this reaction. I'm so glad I found it. What a wonderful breakdown you did. She has become my favorite singer of all time and I think it has more to it than her incredible mastery of her instrument. So much has to do with how she emotes and connects to us the listeners. I saw a very good interview with a Turkish reactor who travelled to Korea to see So Hyang. She is/was incredibly humble, truly unbelievable when I think of some of our American divas. I was shocked to know she did not begin singing (publicly) until she was 19 years old! Anyway, I am glad I found this. Thanks for your wonderful in depth breakdown. Despite, those lower register notes (which I did not catch the first time, but did on a second listen) this is considered by some her greatest performance. I think her ability to convey the emotion of the song is one very large reason. I have said this before, I think So Hyang and Lara Fabian are the very best when it comes to moving their audiences in a live performance...

I'm not a singer, but with you I understand what it's about. Great reaction! My favorite songs from So Hyang are: 1. Everyone: Epic gospel song 2. Fate: Beautiful ballad 3. Hug me: another great ballad 4. Ariang Alone: ​​Korean folk song 5. I have nothing: Better than the original ;-)? Warm greetings from Germany :-)

This is my favorite performance she’s ever done. This song shows off more of her ability to weave into a melody rather than just vocal acrobatics (although it’s got that one really high note still lol).

OMG YES YES YES

Great to see you again. Again a fascinating analysis of Sohyang's "Where Are You". As an avid follower of Sohyang's videos, I was surprised to see you react to this less reviewed performance and even more tickled by your commentary. Your discussion on Sohyang's breath control on this stage is the best I've seen. Love the explanation on constrained breathing and the cuts on how inhalation impacts the performance. Also really enjoyed the note on managing the closed vowel to an open one. I have heard this reference many times but found your comment much more satisfying. Interesting note on Sohyang's F3 as well. Your breakdown on Sohyang's B5 octave jump was detailed, insightful and informative, particularly on the connection to Sohyang's balanced mixed voice. I've seen many amaze over this performance but your video also made me feel thrilled from your reaction. Thanks for the video. PS: Sohyang is my favorite singer.

Love the reaction! Yup welcome to the Sohyang world! Where tons say she’s the Queen and Dimash is the King. Sohyang is by far the best to me! Her total package of talent, skills that go well beyond vocals, beautiful background life story, and most of all, what she stands for. She does all her own arrangements. She also has many more songs. Rap, Pop, Jazz, Rock, and of course her wheel house, gospel. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii! 🤙

💙

This was spectacular! Thank you for your thoughtful and expert analysis. I learn so much watching your reactions!

I know that she has improved her lower register quite a bit the last few years! It has been a laboured process as since she had Pneumonia 8 times from 2014 to 2019 it has add to the difficulty! When she is healthy and rested you can she a marked improvement! She just doesn’t use it much and doesn’t have to as usually they are emotional songs and a breathier mix works well.as far as I can tell though, even at her age she still make little improvements ! I would love to see her do more Jazz but Her Gospel will always occupy the majority of her efforts and her vocal Ministry! I have so much Respect for Her! With the, Cancer, Hepatitis and Pneumonia she is a walking miracle, and to have such a positive outlook, demeanour And to be so open and honest about everything is Amazing to many of us ! It is the total Package, that we Love! God Bless Her !

Wow wow Sohyang... She is so~~~a wonder itself~!!!!

Since you mentioned those F3s, let's talk about her lower register for a second: It took me a few years to actually realize this about SoHyang, but when I did, a lot of things made sense. Essentially, her issue in the lower register isn't thyroarytenoid muscle underdevelopment, but rather an unfamiliarity with a wider range of muscle coordinations of her chest register. SoHyang rarely ever sings in pure chest voice. She usually carries some _slight_ head voice muscle engagement when singing in her lower register because it provides a sweeter and lighter tonal quality, and that's usually what she goes for. It's the reason she sounds less projected and weaker. I call them "mixy lows". If you hear her rendition of songs such as "It's Only My World" (a rock song), you'll hear her actually engaging full chest voice and projecting into the mid 3rd octave with no issue and considerable chest resonance. It's like two ends of the chest voice spectrum. Dark, projected, full VS light, weak-ish, brighter. The issue is that her instrument down there isn't as evened out as the rest of her voice is, so she rarely ventures into muscle coordinations that lie between those two ends of the spectrum. (They aren't total ends, yes, but I'm trying to make a point). Regardless, I don't think it's arguable that her chest voice is 'underdeveloped', since you can very, very clearly hear a strong, present and thick chest resonance in her mixed voice. That isn't achievable without proper thyroarytenoid muscle development and proper muscle coordination. So it's not that the F3s are too low for her, it's rather that she used a coordination that made the sound too light for an F3, so the sound got lost. That light coordination was just enough for notes above around F#3 to be audible, but not below that. If she were more evened out down there, she wouldnt have an issue rapidly shifting through a range different coordinations for each section of that ascending vocal line with the first one being one that will bring a better projected and more embodied sound, similarly to how she does in her mixed voice (see the B4-B5 change).

The same great technical reaction as usual! So Hyang is beyond Amazing!

Absolutely loved this! I have watched this performance for God knows how many times but your analysis still points out so many new highlights. Thank you for a very detailed and insightful analysis. Would love to see more reaction videos to Sohyang from you. "Misty" (from the show "Begin Again") or "Everyone" would be fantastic!

I see Sohyang, I click.

As usual, amazing analysis. I loved it! The fact that So Hyang stayed in the 5th octave and in forte mode for the climax and remaining part of the song still astonishes me. Although I am still waiting for your reaction to her most technical 7-minute Vimeo performance of "Everyone" with English subs. I hope you can react to it soon! Love lots and take care always!

지금도 기억 속에 남겨둔 그대 눈물 이제는 가슴 속엔 묻혀만 두긴 싫어 Your tears left behind even now in my memory I don't want to bury deep in my heart anymore. 떠나야 했던 것도 모두가 우연일까 비 오는 거릴 보며 그대 다시 떠올라 Was it all mere a chance that we had to leave? Looking into a raining street, I remind you again. 아직도 함께했던 그 많은 시간들을 그리며 나의 한숨 시간 속에 남아 나를 눈물짓게 해 Still missing those long hours we shared together Over time I stay in my sighs, which make me cry. 돌아올 그대 모습 그려 보는 것만으로 너무나도 행복해진 나는 자꾸 눈물이 나는지 그대는 어디에 Just imagining your figure that will come back to me again I am so happy that tears keep welling in my eyes. Where are you now? 떠나야 했던 것도 모두가 우연일까 비 오는 거릴 보며 그대 다시 떠올라 Was it all mere a chance that we had to leave?

you are very intelligent and beautiful lady, u open my eye thanks

The Queen!

Thanks for this video. This performance is really awesome and great. Excellent.

I'm so happy to see you having sponsors for your videos, actually so happy for you... really really great analysis once again😄

Really appreciate your breakdowns. Very very insightful. I feel like I learn a lot from them.

Oh my! I really love your reaction! ❤️ Thank you!

Please try to edit the Everyone reaction to get out as much copyrighted material and try reposting it here :((

I have been watching her since 2014

Hey Jess, are you planning to do more SoHyang reactions in the future?

Wow~ You are such an amazing expert~! Good analysis~!

Queen. Angel Powerful voice...thanks

That B5 is like a sniper round to the heart

How on earth can anyone mix a B5 so powerfully???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

🌓Great reaction video. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos.💕

💖💖💖

Ooh what a find🤸🤸👏Lovely voice! Very tender. Her highs are amazing. I LOVE the mystery of not knowing what someone's native tongue is exactly singing all the time. I just appreciate how music magically uses humans as awesome artistic vehicles, domestic or foreign👌

Thx for reacting Sohyang again. Always love your detailed explanation on videos you reacted. Pls react on her other video. Maybe her masterpiece called ‘Everyone’? 👌🏻

You easily became my favorite reactor/analyst... You're one meticulously keen and on point in your breaking down the details... The one I have seen so far from the reactors and analysts I've watched... Keep up.. More power!!!

Thank you for the reaction. Very emotional song....😢😢😢 Great performance~😇🥰😍👑

고맙습니다.^^

I love almost every version of 그대는 어디에 - the melody is just so pleasing

Great Analysis! Sohyang is my absolute favorite singer in the world!!! Also I heard that one of her voice teaches was the same one that Michael Jackson had.

Also, SoHyang arranges all of her songs herself.

Can you do 'stay' from the begin again? It is So hyang's original song and I found something. She improved her low voice there😘

소향님 땜에 또운다😭😭보고 또운다😭 힐링덩어리💞✖️💯💯💯

I'm new here and for the first time I heard your reaction who is the singer was SohYang with song title Where Are You (her song cover). I just fall for her singing to that song because I found it completely brilliant interpretation. Even though I didn't have any music background but I'm feeling good that I was not wrong about her accordingly. Thanks.

Thank so much

more sohyang pleasee 🙏🙏🙏

Next react to her singing Everyone

As always learned a bunch of stuff from you that we've never gotten from other coaches, especially the stuff around breathing which you covered in the previous video as well. Thank you so much for putting all the editing effort in required to get it past the copyright police! Regarding training, she's pretty much self taught other than some sessions with Seth Riggs around 2009 which she credits with the development of the mixed voice we hear today. If you view videos from before that time she was definitely much less balanced and could get shouty/unstable when in the upper part of the 5th octave. At the end of this performance the cameras followed her backstage where she broke down in tears because she felt she had made some mistakes (possibly the unsupported F3's you pointed out) but finished 2nd in the episode anyway. I don't know if this is correct but it's been pointed out by others that she can get to that F3 with proper support (she does it in It's Only My World) but needs to be in pure chest voice with a slightly lowered larynx to do it. She just doesn't have the same register transition ability down there that she does between her mix and head voices which makes sense given how little time she spends in that part of her voice. Thoughts on that explanation?

Me too I’m curious who helped her find her voice and trained her voice…I know she used to be a heavy belter decades ago and she mentioned about learning how to mix when coming to America to sing

The only vocal trainer that I have ever heard of that helped her, was Seth Riggs who she says taught her mixed voice over a few lessons while she was visiting the US back in about 2011. It appears she may be self taught which is pretty incredible. She is also an artist and an author and appears extremely bright, so it wouldn't surprise me if she did teach herself from numerous sources. She mentioned listening to a lot of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. She said in one interview she taught herself English from US TV shows, so her being self taught would certainly go along with that.

I love your reactions of so Hyang Please consider reacting to her video titled Everyone it’s 7 minutes of greatness it’s her best technical video in my opinion I promise you will pause a lot on that video because there is a lot to analyze I really love your view and passion for music please more so hyang She is the greatest singer in the world hands down 🙏🏻🙏🏻
