Hi, In 2018, Oprah Winfrey overheard this performance of Sohyang on RU-vid and was so surprised and moved that she told David Foster her story. David Foster made tremendous efforts to meet her after hearing this song of Sohyang and she performed with him in Japan that year in November at his earnest invitation. David Foster, who performed with Sohyang, said the performance with her was the best and was really happy to meet the incredible and fantastic top singer in the world and perform together. And, he said, he hopes to continue to perform with her. Thanks for your truly nice reaction. From N.Y.
Normally, I don't care much for other singer's performing Whitney's song, since they don't do her justice. However, I felt the emotion and soul in So Hyang's voice beside her amazing vocal quality. BTW, TraENT, your reaction was genuine and so sincere. Respect.
yeah, I consider "Everyone" to be her ultimate performance. Such a master class not only in vocal prowess and technique, but in interpreting/conveying the meaning of a lyric through her entire being. You need to understand the lyrics to appreciate and fully experience the emotional rollercoaster of sadness, joy, pain, comfort, loneliness, celebration and all other points in between she puts you through in over seven (!) exhilarating minutes. The RU-vid version has no subs, so react from this subtitled version on Vimeo: vimeo.com/153713104
TheMovieReport.com I couldn't agree more. The stamina and control it takes to pull off that performance amist such emotional frenzy already makes her legendary in my opinion. The conviction in her voice transmits other-worldly messages. The way she pours her hearts out is so powerfully intimate that I cannot help but to cry.
One of the judges on King of Mask Singer said Sohyang is like a method actor in the way she embodies the emotion of the song in her performances, and I agree
I don't know why it is that in every talent show there is someone trying or attempting to sing this song. Some, of course, fail miserably. I have heard many covers of this classic, but in all honesty I have to testify that So Hyang killed it. She nailed it! She did her thang! She is the ONLY artist that surpassed Whitney. I know Whitney is in Heaven just shaking her head! Like someone famous once said, "My Goodness!"
Good reaction video. You can appreciate talented singers. SoHyang is one of them - she is very skillful and she put a lot of emotions as well. You may react next to her performance Bridge over troubled water.
Another nice reaction. Sohyang slays every performance. She is very selective of the songs she sings. She would only perform the song when she believes in it. That's why you see her fully vested with her emotion in every performance. Here is no exception with with amazing cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." Sohyang just delivered another masterpiece performance 3 days ago giving a cover of "You Raise Me Up" on the show Immortal Songs 2. This is another amazing cover of an English song with a phenomenal arrangement that tells her personal story, according to Sohyang herself. link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-te_L9ofhUt8.html
Yukuo, I REALLY like your comment..."why you see her fully vested with her emotion..." This is my only 2nd time seeing her, but yet you really described the So Hyang I've come to know. Thank you for this!
So glad you share the same sentiment about Sohyang's singing. I have become a die-hard fan of Sohyang because how she sings and who she is. She has a ton of performances people can enjoy from her. Hope you continue to find out more about her.

Great reaction. It's interesting that some reactors are using the professional television version of this performance (with a pro sound mix and differing camera angles), and some reactors are using a clip that seems to have been taken from the audience. Either way, I suppose it's fine. Her stellar abilities are pretty obvious, even taken just from audience footage.
*I see you had to go do double takes on her performance. Seeing so many others in many shows do this song all the time, I never imagined anyone would be able to elevate Whitney's song from the original, till So Hyang came along. She did this so incredible.*
She is amazing singer high notes range evertyhing but i can tell whitney is something else i hear whitney live she was playing with runs and with song and was no ending she change song at difrent level and i was felling her thats most important if you sing with hart and no one can be close rip whitney
I prefer the other recording of this performance because the camera work is zoomed in an you can see the feeling she is putting into the song much more then this full body shot.
Hey there, thanks for the reaction, that's from 2015, this is how she's now... Sohyang (You Raise Me Up Immortal Songs 2) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-te_L9ofhUt8.html ( Must See/React, words not enough to describe how great this, you'll see I'm right, please react soon ) the latest miracle and gift to the world by SoHyang... please be prepared, both heart and brain....
Do you think that she sang the song BETTER than Whitney Houston? I think she sang it an octave higher with clear diction and emotion (correct me if I am wrong). What do you think objectively? I know of one older person who dared say that this was the case, even though "she would make people angry".
