AND SHE WAS SITTING DOWN PREFORMING LIKE THIS!!!! I can't tell you how much sitting vs standing while singing a song normally differs. This was amazing!!
Having been to South Korea, seeing the amount of dedication and work the average person has to have to even make it through high school, it doesn't surprise me at all the insane places people from there can take their talents. Incredibly hard working folks
Just like Dolly Parton loved Whitney’s cover of her song, I think Dolly would love this version as well. I don’t think Dolly knew that when she wrote and performed this song back in the 70’s that people would still love it over 40 years later
Great reaction. I just found this singer and I am amazed. She grew up loving Mariah and Whitney, and some of the vocal experts now say she actually has more control on her high notes that are every bit as high as her two idols! She has to be one of the best singers on this earth. Thank you South Korea, and the universe!!! Think about it, recorded on a dock in the wind. It is almost too good to be possible! Ouch, my heart!
Thank You for this Great reaction ! SoHyang is Phenomenal! This video was shot at the dock yards for workers and first responders! It is part of a Show, called, Begin Again Korea. Season 3 The first two seasons were of a group of well known Korean Entertainers , basically busking on the streets of foreign countries( I believe first two were in Europe, two or three countries per season! In 2020 it was decided to do the show in Korea because of the pandemic! It was done in front of small crowds with masks and social distancing and mostly out in the open at Parks , Businesses and Historic locations etc. My suggestion is another from this series! She sings a duet with another Amazing singer, Lee So-Hyun 1/2 of the duo, AKMU) By the way All the artists are much younger then SoHyang and most surprisingly are better known then she is, but having watched all, you see the awe and respect they all have for her, and the fun she has with them! The song is, Flashlight! They way their voices mesh, the harmonies are Amazing ! Hope you Love it as much as I do! Personally I do not have a Favourite SoHyang Performance , I have a Top 20 and it changes frequently. So much variety and quality delivered by this humble Artist! PS. SoHyang is also a successful Arthor of Fantasy Novels and Religious Books, also guest lecturer at a Korean Arts University, Speaks English, Chinese, French and some Vietnamese, she plays a little guitar and piano , she has many talents! vimeo.com/440711585
you can never have enough so hyang. she always warms my heart. ETA: so hyang singing the old jazz tune "misty" from the begin again korea series is an interesting & enjoyable choice--not the song/genre i woulda thought she'd wanna sing, but of course, she manages to slay the heck outta it. also, i've noticed & appreciated some of the EXCELLENT (yet unexpected) reactions here (RA the rugged man, locksmith, etc.), & i truly appreciate the diversity you cultivate here. i'm sure he's been on yr channel before, but dax is always worth checking out, esp as of late. that man is putting himself into a league of his own. i'm also a huge fan of locksmith's freestyles (there are no bad ones), & he deserves all the exposure & acknowledgment possible. & katrina velarde has so much to appreciate vocally it's dang near painful how consistently good she is. hope to see more of all of these great artists here.
On a wharf, sitting on a folding chair with the wind blowing in her hair and into her microphone, this lovely and humble lady delivers a flawless rendition of a song that her predecessors rendered in a Studio. Having no instruments available on the dock, she sings the Saxophone solo and then proceeds to break the hearts of everyone who has the rare privilege of hearing this little song. So is Sohyang. She has been given a voice that can only be compared to a Stradivarius violin and she has learned to render it completely, as she is, a virtuoso. Her genius as a musician is only exceeded by the beauty of her presence and of her gentle spirit.
Actually, she said during an interview that her condition was really bad at that time n could perform with 30% of her ability. She just prayed that she could comfort people n it happened.
Imagine being good enough to nearly perfectly recreate a studio recording of Whitney Houstons most challenging song. That's how good this woman is. That other chicks face at 3:27 says it all.
THX’s for SoHyang! Amazing Reaction. This 1 is special! Much 🤍 2U ☮️ She has on-going health prob so bout 30% here. Full Pwr 💀 Lean on Me - Immortal Songs 2
God Bless You for doing this...know several of Us have asked for it ....I think what everybody loves about this is it is not just a cover when Kim, So Hyang re-arranged this and made her Changes...She gave all the honor to the song it deserves and Whitney's version, BUT on that note Made it Her own ......and if you do not know the original you will not notice but she clipped a section out and put in her own....I know I am bias but heard many say this was the best cover they had heard and reacted to......and they know far more than I do...I just love Kim, So Hyang Voice and and What she does with Music.................She Truly is an Angel sent from Heaven to Watch over Us
She is one of a kind. Go to the king of masked singers. Every range she hits. Eng subs are available but that doesn't matter. Its absolutely brilliant and flawless. Go check it out.
What a trio: Dolly, Whitney, So Hyung: compose creatorr, iconic,classic version, unbelievable cover interpretation. And shoutout to a fourth creative voice: whoever or whatever team wove together this video into its own commentary on the song. A Pandemic day at the beach. Each mask representing 100k who could not make it to the concert, or even 2021. (Most ov all Ice wish you your...)..
I Will Always Love "So-Hyang" Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood !!!
Would love you to react to Sohyang's versions of If I Aint Got You, Misty, and Bridge Over Troubled Water. She is at heart a gospel singer and her versions of Amazing Grace and Oh Holy Night will wow you too. Arirang Alone is a traditional Korean song she sings perhaps best of all
Absolutely beautiful voice she is gifted that is no doubt or disagreements there. She is the only vocalists that can even begin to hit this song as close to the original artist. However, to me there is only one person that this song belongs to and is hers and that is Whitney Houstin always may she finally be at peace. I would definitely call this the closest tribute and gifted talent that comes and respects the closest even to Whitney’s voice ever
I loved Whitney from her first album but I have to say that I never heard her recreate a live version of this song that was near her studio version. I am not saying anyone else did either. But this might be nearly as good and it was recorded on a dock in a breeze. Not much of a studio setting.
As fantastic as she is, another Korean also sang her cover of this song very well!! her name is "AILEE" and the song I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!! By the way, Sohyang's best friend "PARK KI-YOUNG" sings Nella Fantasia. Unbelievable!!
안녕하세요 저는 소향님의 오랜 팬입니다 그러한 이유로 저는 세계 곳곳의 소향님의 리액션을 항상 찾아보게 됩니다 그런데 혹시 멘탈리스트에 나오신 분 아니신가요? 아니시라면 죄송합니다ㅜㅜ 멋진 음성과 풍부한 표정, 그리고 젠틀한 외모까지! 의심할 수 없거든요 솔직하고 멋진 리액션♡ 채널 잘 보고 갑니다 감사합니다
Her performances from "King of Mask Singer" in 2017 are a must see..... Please, watch them on Vimeo beacuse the official RU-vid uploads have the 2nd half of the songs missing.... I hope you will check out a song called "Dear Love", although honestly you can't go wrong with any of her King of Mask Singer performances... She was champion for a long time, a legendary run
As good as it is, the show this is from (Begin Again) is so chock full of impossibly great performances from a good half-dozen performers, this doesn't particularly stand out.
Don't agree at all and i think her fellow performers would tell you the same.. Tons of great performances by all for sure. But several of hers stand out and this is one of them clearly..
@@tommyo2450 that's okay, you're allowed to disagree. I guess it depends on what resonates with you more when you watch an artist perform. For my money, I thought Jukjae's impromptu performance of his own song, "The Door", for the two fans that came just to see him, and his emotional breakdown into tears right after it was more powerful on every level, particularly sincerity.
