The Most DANGEROUS Vocal Performance Of ALL TIME! (So Hyang 'Arirang Alone') 

if i'm not wrong the original song is called Arirang and Arirang Alone and So Hyang's rendition/take on the song

@@Hattorin. The original folk song was called Arirang and is hundreds of years old. Arirang Alone was written in the 90's by a man who had to leave 2 gown children in North Korea. Or this is what I was told with an explanation of some of the lyrics. Quote: "Arirang represents the suffering and tribulation (Arirang 'Hill') overcome as people and the nation. If we’re together as one holding hands, we can make it over the hill. Arirang Alone is a modern adaptation (released in 1990) of the original song written in the hope of reunification of Koreas. It’s a song of hope and peace. It tells a fantasy of the Island of Dokdo floating in the East Sea all alone singing Arirang. If Dokdo sang Arirang, alone in the Eat Sea, would North and South reunite? Dokdo is islets centrally located between Mount Baekdu (in northern border of North Korea) and Mount Halla (in Jeju Island, South Korea). Let’s ride a boat together from Baekdu and Halla. When we dock our boats at Dokdo, we’ll witness a new dawn together. The songwriter’s parents had to leave two sons and a daughter in North Korea during the war. His father’s dying wish to him was “when Korea reunite, go find your older brothers and sister and tell them that their parents did not abandoned them”. Where everyone in the audience sings along is where Sohyang incorporated the original Arirang lyric and melody."

none of them could sing at this level even at thier primes

@@mahdifalahi5900that statement makes no sense, they could do things Sohyang can’t do and viceversa. As example, all the ladies in the Trinity had more core in the lower chest (C4-G4) quite consistently while Sohyang voice could get lost in that area. Not to mention that the trinity has way more agile voices than Sohyang and also a way better sense of pitch and musicality

Yeeees that's a total banger

yesss it's so good

yeasshhhh

Did the principal soloists in your choir try to sing Arirang Alone the way Sohyang did?

@@oahuhawaii2141 no, we just did it as choir version, the common way to sing Arirang and not her version... Her piece was sooo great for a solo ... As a singer myself I know her range is far from what I can sing.

And her Dolly Parton and Jennifer Rush covers.
