I actually find these two similar to the Solar vs Wheein comparison. Taeyeon has a more chesty mix, with impressive consistency on resonance in her mid-belts. She’s just more balanced C#5-up than Solar, and more proficient below G#3. Wendy’s lighter mix allows her more ease above D5, kinda like Wheein! I like to think of these two as Solar and Wheein……..but on steroids 🙉🙉🙉
Sm waited for someone like Wendy for a long time before debuting red velvet. Once they found her, she was immediately put in the debut team. Its why she only had 1 and a half year of training cause they know she was already debut ready. Now stop saying that red velvet members are five main vocalists cause that is just not true. SM hit the jackpot with Wendy.
SM hit the jackpot with Wendy AND Seulgi. Jesus these girls are fucking beasts. Wendy is just so gifted in vocals to the point SM just had to put her to the debut team and Seulgi who learnt dance from scratch due to her throat issues and rose to the most insane dancers out there rn. You know what, let’s just say that SM is so lucky to have Red Velvet. Their harmonies just sound so good together, like they were destined to be together
the reason why I can't compare the two is just bcoz SM doesn't give Wendy more chance to sing on bigger stage, actual shows or events, noticed how all of her compilation singing videos only came from IG live, without any help of better background music or sound system, she was only boxed as RV main vocalist, if she gets Taeyeon treatment when it comes to releasing songs, having solo concert and guesting on actual music related shows, then let's have this discussion again
@@robbider8416because she's never given the chance to grow as a soloist 😭 her group being mistreated aside, despite being a great vocalist and being praised fans and professionals alike, she doesn't get much gigs outside of red velvet (not because she never got the love calls, but because sm always turn those invites and collabs down)
It's clearly just because Taeyeon made her own way to be a top idol in Korea. SM didn't support her to be on the top at all, but she only had a chance to release some ost songs and those ost songs made mega hits in Korea so that's how she became top artist individually, apart from her group being the top. But even having been on the top for 7yrs, Taeyeon never had a chance to release a solo album until 2015, and Wendy took 6yrs and half to release her solo album. So technically Wendy even got better treatment than Taeyeon But Taeyeon is the only female idol artist who can be a top charter and selling all the tickets in a big concert arena. She deserves way bigger stage, but SM just doesn't give her fair treatment
@@lalexxxTaeyeon was never given such same chance either. SM is very famous for mistreating female idols, and the reason Taeyeon gets more chance is because of her presence and her group's presence were incredibly bigger than any other female groups ever here in Korea
King Taeyeon! I still can't get over her cover for When we were young by Adelle. That was the moment she shut down haters that she can't sing high notes as much as others. She is so versatile, Ballad, rock, or any type of song. Her voice is unique and is so captivating.
I loooovee Taeyeon's mid-belts. She's kind of like Solar but with better technique (chesty, heroic-like quality to belts). I do feel like Wendy has a potential to be the better technical singer. As early as her C5's she starts placing them very forward (kind of more heady), that's why it gives it more ease for her but less vocal "quality." She might last better than Taeyeon in terms of longevity because of her technique.
Oh yeah, Taeyeon really possesses that heroic, dramatic, appealing quality to her belts! With Wendy, it's sometimes almost like she doesn't want to sound like that, she has her more powerful moments sure, but she usually opts for that more effortless and light delivery.
@@aintnootherfan indeed! Wendy's belting looks effortless, but it has the disadvantage of making the song appear simple to sing. Like okay, I could sing that too, but I CANT! HAHAHA
People say that since her debut Wendy has the potential, but in fact she regressed since Hapiness era and that only gor worse since the accident while Taeyeon improves all her low, mid and head voice. You can also hear in Step Back, while they both do hit F5, Wendy's F5 is more shrill than Taeyeon's even thought they both don't support F5. the reason for that is Taeyeon has a better placement
@@timorcohen4641 wendy never regressed lol, she was stagnant for a few years then around power up/bad boy era’s she became more and more inconsistent due to her weight fluctuations but she’s been improving steadily ever since
@@timorcohen4641 lol Wendy's F5 only sounds like that because she chose to sing it like that, notice how she used a different voice in Step Back, yeah she sings differently depending on the song. She also sings F5 in Queendom at "Rainbow" and it's powerful, not shrill at all, same with her F5s in the chorus of Wildside, it's full and round, and not shrill. So, she definitely knows what she's doing and how she wants her voice to sound depending on the song she sings
I realized that most of Wendy's mid belts don't sound that impressive to most people, she make it seem effortless but she lacks resonance to make them sound more powerful Anyway... Taeyeon and Wendy are both on top of their respective generations and kpop in general, they really set the bar high Btw, in 17:18 I started laughing and then ended like this: 😮
Wendy is obviously an amazing singer, and technically has a wider range than Taeyeon. But there is something about Taeyeon's vocals that reduce me to tears on a regular basis. There is a depth and soul to her vocals that only comes from her years of experience. Wendy will definitely be there eventually as well.
I think it's because of how Taeyeon does her belting. Like many people said, there's a lot of resonance in them and they sound rounder, giving the listeners the feeling of how their own chests are being pulled by her singing. That feeling can be associated with heartbreak (since a lot of Taeyeon's songs are about break ups), and why Taeyeon is said to have a singing abilities of a woman who went through 7 divorces. Wendy, however, only has few solo songs where her abilities as a singer truly shine, a lot of them are inspiring themes. Her belting feels a lot cleaner, less strained, and just overall magnificent and daunting at the same time. Instead of feeling that pull in your chest, a lot of times her singing feels like you've been punched in the chest, making your soul leave your body.
as a huge fan of taeyeon, i love to see you cover her on your channel! i’d love to see your thoughts on the rest of snsd’s vocal line because they’re one of the strongest in kpop imo. love your work!
One of the reason why people underestimate Wendy is because sm doesn't promotes Wendy like an amazing main vocalist that she is, getting the most lines is not everything, sm should promote Wendy more as a soloist as well as the main vocalist of red velvet and 3rd generation
Both Are Amazingly Good I Can't even begin to compare them! But what really makes me love them is that Taeyeon Has A Unique Voice Tone And has a really Good Resonance while Wendy has a higher range and could adapt to different genres easily
Seriously ? Comparing taeyeon and wendy is like you are comparing yesung, kyuhyun and ryeowook, also chen, baekhyun and D.O . You know why ? They all are so good . We cant simply pick who we love more . Because they are too good . They might have different technique, range and so on, but they know how to use their voice, they know their limit, they know how to deliver message through their songs . And last but not least, all idols in SME can sing !! 🤍
in general, i prefer wendy. her vocal tone is gorgeous, her emotion and understanding of the music and herself is incredible. she's so soothing, i have never not enjoyed a performance by her. her versatility and strengths as a performer help aswell. she just, so honestly, loves what she does. music is her happy place. sweet baby girl. i will say that taeyeon is an icon and deserves her praise. she has moments where she blows me away and i sit in awe of her. also she's gorgeous (so is wendy). great video babes!!!!!! love your channel so much and i can't wait for new videos and series!!! ❤️✨
I can't wait to see Taeyeon and Wendy on concerts cause their vocals really stands out on live concert. La Rouge was also sooooooooo amazing cause there was a part that 3 songs back to back that have really high high notes for wendy but she killed it. And ofcourse taeyeon there's no doubt how good she is in her solo concerts
Both are incredible so in this case it's personal cause I prefer Taeyeon. Her voice tone and her skill of singing like she talks makes me feel things I can't describe. I mean, actually she's my favorite female vocalist on earth. I'd love to go to one of her concerts cause I love all of her albums.
I am not mad with your analization, i must admit it is fair and unbias. Wendy is undeniably talented and vocally gifted but i am still with Taeyoen, Taeyeon for me delivers more emotion to her songs. I feel the story she is telling.
both are insanely talented and great vocalists. my ultimate biases. taeyeon's powerful voice give me chills like wow whenever i hear her singing i get goosebumps, wendy's voice is so soothing and beautiful. i can listen to her all day
PLEASE look up old DBSK concerts, they’re both a duo TVXQ & a trio JYJ respectively now but when they were together they were the defining powerhouse boy group and set the bar for male vocalists like SuJu SHINee & EXO coming from SM entertainment. I think looking into some of DBSK’s history and old concerts from the 2000’s to now would be something you’d enjoy greatly especially when it comes to finding more versatile & talented male vocalists. Their flowing harmonies and anthemic belts is one of the greatest boy group music EVER made. There’s so many songs to suggest I genuinely don’t know where to start non other than their most iconic era as a quartet, Mirrotic😌
Both good... To me, the difference I see Taeyeon with idol girl group it's voice... Her voice already good since debut but it becoming more and more amazing because her experience make her know how to control her voice... To me, the idol that I see can being like her, Winter Aespa... she have good voice and stable even sing live..she just need more experience...
Nope, the problem is that I am sure wendy is a great singer, but to include taeyeon having bad belts isn't fair for 2 reasons 1- we are human beings and human make mistakes, the more years on stage returns the more bad belts. Wait until you see wendy more on solo stages to see yup, she will make some mistakes too. 2- how you compare a concert situation to a girl sitting on chair freely singing. Wendy is a great singer, but taeyeon also has so many sitting and singing always good on her strength points. And another thing to mention, of course in a grouo with nine members and two mezzo soprano you can't develop lower register. You guys always say taengu has more experience but no in lower register she has not! Wendy debuted 2014 but she start having the chance to develop it till 2015! Taeyeon is the better singer to me, and of course wendy is perfect too, I will support them both
In 3-4 years Wendy may well be better than Taeyeon is today. But I’d say Taeyeon today has the slight edge due to her experience. I love both tremendously!!
@@Marinaleffy2129 omg! The best idea I’ve heard in a long time. Devil’s Cry is my favorite Taeyeon performance! Wendy would eat on something like that too
A lot of people seem to think that Wendy hasn't improved? She has tho, you can hear it in her osts like "Two words" and their bside "In my dreams". The thing with Wendy is, she was already so good at debut so people think she hasn't changed. But in reality she did especially with her head voice and lower voice
@Legend not you spamming the same comment all over this vid to gain attention lmfao 😂 What does that have to do with my comment? Wendy improved period, regardless of what people say, its just not noticeable to some but she is still improving and has a lot of potential. "a good singer blah blah" whatever you say dude 😂
Who's the people? Ofc thats crazy people who think wendy hasn't improved. Wendy improve a lot, her voice especially her dance.. Our hardworking seungwanie 🤗
@Legend “a good singer knows their limit” okay, so based on that logic singers like Tiffany (from SNSD) who developed it as well and had to get surgery is a bad singer, right? or let’s go beyond that and say mariah carey, elton john, adele, who all have had issues with their vocal cords, are bad singers then? they should’ve “known their limit” right? i believe that comment her vocal trainer made was more to say that she has worked very hard and even ended up damaging her vocal cord because of it not that she’s a bad singer who should’ve known her limit.
@Legend kpop artist also have "bad habits" like you said yk but the difference is that they never really talk openly about it in media but ofc people already know they drink
@Legend im not making excuses, im wondering why you're using that as your only reason. If you're claiming she's a bad singer then what exactly is a good singer to you? also, I'm not sure who this "everyone" is but i have not seen anyone say that tiffany was a bad singer. there are those who think so but not this generalised "everyone" you're talking about. she was a lead vocalist for a reason and is now a soloist. "those western singers" regardless of the bad habits you're talking about are regarded as top singers. wendy has improved and is a good singer, saying she's the best is subjective. but to deny that she's a good singer simply because of what happened pre-debut makes no sense. comparing her pre debut vocals to where she is now, there is a very obvious difference because she *improved.*
Just listen to wendy’s most recent head voice-blew the top with ‘in my dreams’… that is special… doing it while sitting down. That surely speaks voluminous of her skill… both she & taeyeon are just amazing. Definitely waiting for the possibility of them collaborating- what a bomb that will be👍🏻💞
This is why I can’t wait for her to gain more experience👉👉 I do love it when she’s just having fun... but she does amp it up when it is work related performances!
I really enjoy more of Wendy's voice in her upper range, low register and especially love her climatic high notes with powerful vibratos, I connect more to her because of her expressions when she's singing, she really portrays the meaning of the song, she gives a big smile if its needed for the concept, and she can also make you cry. That being said I also appreciate Taeyeon a lot, because her high notes are really open and it creates a massive sound, when she belts her resonance creates an illusion like she has a ton of reverb in her voice (naturally), it's almost like majestic or heavenly. In conclusion, Best vocalists of 2nd and 3rd gen are these queens.👑
idk if it makes sense but ty to me is like snow: clean/clear&sharper while wendy is sunshine: warm&comforting. snow is more variable, can be strong like snowstorm, impressive, artistic. whereas sunshine is full of emotions, instead of sharp it's round delightful, beautiful idkkk lol i was considering wendy as rainfall too
The only thing we cannot deny is that they're both from SM and we all wonder what's with SM's water producing these two beautiful vocalists. I love both of them, they're both great!!!
SM vocal training is actually SO OVERRATED .....the vast majority of sm main vocalist where casted because of their already great vocals ... (if anything sm is the superior agengy in terms of casting vocalists), there is actually very few good vocalists the sm brought up from zero, the ones that come to my mind are jessica and seohyun from snsd, jaehyun from nct, suho from exo and seulgi from red velvet. People like taeyeon, onew, kyuhyun, d.o, baekhyun, chen, wendy, taeil, doyoung, xiaojun, all joined sm when they were already good.
@@jesusrivera0509 This isn’t actually true. Their vocal coach Jang Jinyoung actually knew what he was talking about and brought the best out of them and made the main vocalists improvement massively. Other companies value sounding unique over singing well.
@@SuperPianogirl123 Yes a lot of them did improve, but they rarely take the time to build vocalisit from zero, they rather prefer to work on improvement on the already good ones
Taeyeon's live performances of Lost in Love & Missing You Like Crazy will always be some of my favorites from her. Her delivery is unmatched and It's why she's always been my favorite vocalist in Kpop. I wasn't too familiar with Wendy before this video but I think she's a good vocalist with a lot of potential. SM really knows how to pick and train their main vocalists
I love them both so much. That being said Taeyeon just has such a special tone. Her voice is so bright and warm and special. Wendy is so amazing of course and has a pretty tone of course but there are times where I prefer Taeyeon because of her tone but I love them both so much
Thank you I will check it out. I've only heard a wide range of different genres from Taeyeon in her solo music. Hopefully Wendy will get to explore more with her solos
Its like, we have heard Taeyeon's voice more so we may lean more to Taeyeon. But if we hear Wendy's voice more we may lean more to Wendy. Our ears and brain have a feeling of that familiar sound. Thats how good they both are. 2nd and 3rd gen best vocalist.
I prefer singers with great resonance hence, I'm biased towards Taeyeon also, I think she's a better story teller but Wendy is amazing too, she does a lot of work and mostly everything in RV's tracks, I have high appreciation for her after watching their recording sessions
@@taengoonim ^^this! When I first heard Taeyeon voice, I just kinda know this is the one for me. It's the best feeling to feel the song without even reading the lyrics, therefore, Wendy is literally flawless. I love Wendy more in RNB while Taeyeon for ballads.
Omg i never realized how amazing Wendy’s lows sound, I could listen to them all day long ! I totally agree with you on the belting, it makes sense of why I feel more attracted to taeyeon’s style. As vocalists, i’d say Wendy is more balanced on her range as she has amazing skills in her lows and head voice, seems almost like she works a lot on every note ! Taeyeon is more focused on some technical points like her belting and her agility. I feel like she is a bit less balanced but more impressive on these points. I personally enjoy Taeyeon’s vocals more cuz the only things I’ve heard of her were magical, she just has a gift to pass on emotions. Wendy has it a bit less I feel, but maybe it’s only because she doesn’t have that opportunity, being in a group, as you said. Surprising video but so interesting as always, I feel I improve on my hearing of technical points and skills every time. Would love a focus on some Kpop boy group vocalists, since they seem to carry the entire male vocals of the world music industry haha
Summing up Low Notes: Wendy Mixed voice/belting: Taeyeon for mid beltings and Wendy for upper beltings Vocal Agility: Taeyeon Head voice/falsetto: Wendy
Fair and spot on. One is definitely not just overall better than the other; they're at the same level/tier and each has different strengths over the other
I love Wendy!!! But i love Taeyeon as well! -Wendy has a better range. And I love the vibrato!!! -Taeyeon has the powerful and open resonance Wendy lacks. Taeyeon's confidence in her vocals is so mesmerising. BOTH OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTE DIAMONDS OF KPOP!!!
In conclusion: They on the same level - Lower register: Taeyeon support down to G3/G#3, Wendy support down to F#3/G3. - Mixed voice, belting: Taeyeon support to C#5/D5 , Wendy support to C#5/D5. Taeyeon strongly resonance to C#5 and sometimes D5. Wendy rarely show resonant belts. - Agility: both has good agility, Taeyeon a bit more skilled. - Headvoice: Taeyeon support to F5/F#5, Wendy support to G#5/A5. Taeyeon does has resonance to F5 (even F#5 sometimes), Wendy has resonance. => Taeyeon supported range: G#3-C#5/D5-F5/F#5. Good lower register, good belting, good headvoice, good agility, very resonant belt. Wendy supported range: F#3/G3-C#5/D5-G#5/A5. Good lower register, good belt, good agility, good headvoice, rare resonance. They both amazing and skillful vocalist. P/s: sometimes they can support some notes that above supported range (Wendy can support C6 once before debut or some Eb5s, Taeyeon support some Eb5s) but they are lucky notes or just a few times, they can not count in the supported range because lack of consistency. This happen with many many vocalist. Pps: after checking, Wendy support haedvoice to A5/Bb5 but i thing her Bb5 not good, not as solid as belowA5 and i still put her supported range at F#3/G3-C#5/D5-G#5/A5 but it's not change anything, she still a good vocalist and a semitone didn't actually very important at her case.
I think Taeyeon support is up to D5 not C#5/D5 ..... it is been a long while since she has D5 down and even her last few Eb5 have been mor supported than not, but ofcourse there are still not enough
Idk i just love wendy more.. she got that attitude and passion, like when she sings light me up... she needs to get more solo songs and performances but taeyeon's discography is good too
So glad to be finally seeing Taeyeon as a regular on this channel. She’s been a huge influence and inspiration to almost all the other kpop vocalists that have been featured.
Great video. I hope one day you’ll analyze the Kpop boys as well. Especially the ones that are considered powerhouses/very strong vocalists such as Chen, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, Jonghyun, and Taeil just to name a few.
taeyeon's resonance is really something special, especially since you dont hear it a lot in kpop. i remember hearing her belt in this (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oc0-EqXQj8g.html) video a decade ago and i was absolutely floored. she was 19 i think
@hihihihi taeyeon with no sound manipulation and just having fun: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GtSrfAKRf-g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tprpze9xag.html ru-vid.comH0N_2WDa_Js ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e0p95yDYoCU.html
YAASS!! My 2 favourite vocalists🤩 they’re both such queens and properly deserve their titles. Makes sense why they’re both ranked as Proficient Vocalists, they have such balance, they have different strengths and weaknesses. Lower register - Wendy Mid-belts - Taeyeon Upper belts - Wendy Agility - Taeyeon Head voice - Wendy They are both well-rounded vocalists with all registers being well-developed🔥 As far as personal favourite goes, Wendy does have the #1 stop in my heart, she’s such a 💎 and an 👼🏻, absolutely love her😍
They are tied, I suppose. Taeyeon has better consistency and resonance in her mixed, and Wendy is very inconsistent in terms of resonance in her mixed. Taeyeon had done resonant D5, but Wendy has never done it yet. However, Wendy has a better lower register since she consistently supports down to F#3 and Wendy definitely is better in the upper register; she is the best in SM after Luna from f(x), in terms of head voice.
Great Video! This made me appreciate Taeyeon and Wendy's vocals even more. I personally lean towards WENDY's style because of her love for RnB but I have mad respect for Taeyeon's experience in the industry. SM is so lucky to have these QUEENS!
imagine if wendy didn't get vocal nodules on her trainee days, her belting must have been cleaner than now. must have affected her openness in that area
Funny how you keep comparing concerts to IG lives lol I mean I love them both and I would probably die for them in this life time, but their careers' trajectory is slight different :(
at best they have both supported F3 (Taeyeon only once or twice) but the difference is consistency Wendy is more consistent on F#3/G3 than Taeyeon who is more consistent with G3/G#3 but maybe we’ll see her improve that consistency with new music and live performances soon
Taeyeon is my favourite female vocalist when i entered kpop wave since 2011. only listen her singing, you can feel the emotion of song, and i only love her even so many singers great in kpop, but after SM released an ost from their SM rookies in march 2014, once again, i fell in love with only listen someone's voice, that's Wendy. till know, if ppl ask me about best vocalist, i only said that wendy and taeyeon. because, for me this two has make me goosebumb so many time just only listened their voice. I know, there are so many singer who better than them, but this two girls know how to describe and bring a song to touch listener's heart.
I didn't really expect to like Taeyeon's voice. I've been hearing about her for YEARS, but once I started really getting into her music, I can't stop listening! She just has some magic in her voice. Plus she has one of those gifts where you can listen to her all day. As they say, she has the voice of healing. Personal biases aside, I definitely think she still has a lot of area to work on esp lightening her mixing in her upper belts but I do think she's also smart to stay in her vocal comfort zone, which to be fair is quite big, which is why she also seem to appear so perfect vocally. Haha It's such a shame that she hasn't been to a lot of Korean singing shows like I am Legend or even King of Masked Singer, if I'm correct. Wendy definitely has a lot of potential. I think she might be slightly better and on her way to being one of Korea's best vocalist especially if she continues improving.
@@ayeon5609 I don't really know much about Wendy, but yes Taeyeon has improved too especially her lower register! Her next focus should be exploring her upper belts.
@@ayeon5609 the problem is Wendy has always been that good (just not as confident on the stage when she was rookie). I hope Wendy will have more improvement and get closer to Lina or Luna at least cause she have the potential vocally
@@zenappa3738 Yep. Wendy despite supposedly not "improving" has a really good base level of skill. She really is up there with the best vocalists in kpop rn beating out her contemporaries. We obviously want both of them to achieve their highest potential and be best that they can be so that we can hear them sing even more as we all grow older. I would like nothing more than that. :)
Wendy all the way for me! Also, I think her performance of "All I Want for Christmas" showcases her vocal agility. Its not easy to make runs like that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cZ8QC64Yytk.html
honestly, it’s so gorgeous. it sounds more impressive and controlled to me personally, but taeyeon’s punchy mid belts can also sound more impressive to others.
even when taeyeon belts it makes me cry so much emotions and her voice has something that is very soothing to my ears than wendy although wendy's written in the stars really good Taeyeons voice has really something unexplainable
I personally prefer Taeyeon’s voice. She has this ability to make me feel the song she’s singing despite not understanding its lyrics. I remember watching her sing “I love you”. The emotion she had while singing made me tear up as well. It’s like… she’s not just singing when she’s singing.. it’s like she’s telling the story of the song as well and that’s what I love about her. I think Wendy’s range is better though. She can reach high notes flawlessly, often appearing effortless and that’s something that I really admire about her too. Sm really struck gold with these two vocalists.
Imo Wendy is a bit better technically, overall. However, Taeyeon's tonal quality is everything. Those midbelts are eargasmic. It's clear that Taeyeon is the blueprint for SM vocalists.
crazy fans don't agree with either being#1 and always has to have someone wrong or someone who wins over the other 😂 which is absurd since both vocalists are very different in their approach to the same assignment. If there is one thing that is sure though, they are both legends who got the rarest of opportunities to perform together!
Both on the same level when it comes to vocal technique however Taeyeon edges slightly because not only is she more consistent on the D5s but also does fairly well on and supports majority of the time on bE5s. Also the mixing technique she's better because of forward projection & openness with consistent resonance in the A4-D5 range, wendy has not so good placement at times which causes her to sound closed off so the resonance is compromised. For lows both very well developed down to G3 but wendy has slight edge down to F#3, lastly head voice it's Wendy that's better with support up to bB5!
@@rere9991 I wouldn't give her that she has tension and get pushed that's why her supported range in mix is C#5/D5 I'd say she's consistent on resonant up to C#5. singers who's completely consistent up to D5 in resonance is Lina csjh, nayul 12dal, ock Joohyun, yeonji
@@allykelly For support range she’s gotten better at the D5s even started to have more good bE5s but I get why people still give her C#5/D5. Resonance is the same C#5/D5 esp since purpose era she’s done resonant D5s enough times to be in her range but yea its not fully consistent.
@@rere9991 if she improve in support fully up to D5 and lightnen her mix a bit due to chestiness I'd give C#5/D5 Eunji is a slightly better belter she is more consistent in resonance up to D5 and handle everything above D5 better than taeyeon
Most of the videos of Wendy were from her ig lives. FOR ME, I think that Wendy has the better agility, you could've used other videos of her properly showcasing her agility and not just from ig lives where she's just casually singing (you should watch Wendy's Why Can't You Love Me live band and her intro in All I Want For Christmas collab stage, also Wendy's part was live bcoz she talked first before she started singing, I don't know about the rest) I knew Taeyeon first way back 2010, but when Wendy debuted, her voice really resonates more with me, she's just so versatile. Of course Taeyeon is never less than Wendy, her mid-belts are so soo good, almost all of her songs are in my playlist, tho I still love Wendy's voice more, coz it just resonates with me more You really can't say who's the better singer between them coz both of them has strengths and weaknesses and both are great vocalists. In the end, it just depends on whose voice people prefer to listen to. P.s thanks for this video, I'm binge-watching your videos,...I hope you'll make analysis of SM Male main vocalists too 😍
Lmao. Taeyeon is clearly the one with better agility. I remember watching videos of singers covering Taeyeon’s part in Amber’s Shake That Brass and Wendy really messed up hers trying to do Taeyeon’s run.
@@turuus5215just cause there is more sections Wendy wins doesn’t mean she’s overall the better vocalist. There is barely a difference between the two in their lows or agility but the difference in their mid belts or the upper range is much more noticeable.
12:15 "Taeyeon seems to be less comfortable staying in her upper belts..." then shows video of taeyeon slaying E5s while jumping. Lol. that's some taeyeon behaviour. Love this vid!
@@hihihihi1339 and why do you find it funny? Is it taeyeons fault that she has more live performance than wendy? If you dont like taeyeons voice then just get to the point.
Yep shes def a gem . From the korean gen public, people would still listen to taeyeon as her voice is unique and could create a lot of mix whereas Wendys voice has a beltier tone and very typi al. Some fans find idols who belts a lot as "noisy".
@@hihihihi1339 doesnt make Wendy any better even if shes prepared. If your basis for someone who is better is high notes then youre doing it incorrectly 😂. Leave that for professionals to judge and not base it on your emotions 🤡
The reason why Taeyeon is still better than Wendy is because of Resonance. Wendy is having a hard time producing resonance when she sings but Wendy has better support.
I think the reason why Wendy is not as popular is her singing style, she sing more like western like the Mariah and Whitney. As for Taeyeon her singing style is Korean and more pleasing for them. Wendy would be great for western kinda like Ailee You should do a comparison between Wendy and Ailee
The surplus of experience in Taeyeon shows a lot. It will be interesting to look at another comparison after a few years of seeing Wendy improve through more soloist work!
@Legend taeyeon already had 7 years of experience being a soloist under her belt. Yet you still can see the improvement between I and INVU album. And in that sense, wendy IS still a rookie in terms of solo works. Everybody can still improve if they’re working hard on it.
@Legend same goes with wendy releasing like water and when this rain stops for her debut which is not an easy song to master. We dont make excuses here because BOTH singers are exceptionally talented. Like i was said earlier, everybody can still improving and there’s no need to downplay anyone bcs even the most talented person can still have some room to grow☺️
@@HelloRaV its not about the technique. To be honest , Wendy is a great vocalist with strong technique but that is not everything . Conversely, Taeyeon's conspicuous abilities are her regulation and perfect combination of her technique, plus the variety of emotion transferring . All of them made her stand out and bring her to the queen position , and of course , Taeyeon was already well-known in her early day with those special techniques
@Legend you obviously have something against Wendy, no one is belittling Taeyeon at all, they are already at the same level in terms of skill. But when they say that Taeyeon has years of experience, they are referring to her confidence and her craft, she has found her sound and she knows what works for her, she’s very in tune with her self, calm and collected. But With Wendy, though she has the same ability level, that’s why she can sing songs like When This Rain Stops and Like Water(any of the songs on her album), she does not possess the same level of confidence that Taeyeon does, she still gets very nervous and doubtful. And it could be because of her setback due to her accident, that left her unable to perform for a year. So yes she’s still finding her self, and definitely still has room to grow as a singer, and I’m not referring to techniques
@Legend 😂🤣 I can’t believe this, legit where did I once belittle Taeyeon? I did not insult her once in any comment, saying she debuted in SNSD as an AA vocalist is not an insult but just an objective fact, it is obvious that she had big improvements to when she debuted as a soloist. I literally commented that the 2 of them are my favourite vocalists, I could never say bad things about either of them. But you are the one putting down Wendy with insults in order to lift Taeyeon up and that’s just sad. You belittling Wendy’s debut album is also toxic behaviour. Saying Wendy debuted as a Proficient vocalist is also not an insult to Taeyeon, because once again it’s just an objective fact as she already supported D5s, it doesn’t matter if she cracked notes, you act like it’s not normal, it happens even to the best singer, even Taeyeon cracked notes. What matters is now, and how they are both still improving in their own ways and deserve their titles as vocal queens. Hope you realize I’m not attacking anyone, have a nice day🤗
I do love both vocalist, but Wendy has that certain quality that makes a singer stand out. She has a westernized vocal agility, rhythm and technique. Both vocalist can harmonize and sing beautifully. Though I prefer Wendy because she invokes feeling and emotion and it resonates when she sings. Wendy would have a career in the states because she can sing with that soul of an R and b singer. In terms no hate to Tayeon but Wendy has more of a vocal ability and vocal color to be a main vocalist.
I think Wendy’s openness was affected from when she got vocal nodules due to overworking her vocal chords during her training period. Is there a noticeable difference in the quality of her belts in her predebut videos?
