Âge doesn’t really count. Look at Celine dion, she might be 50 but yet she is still one of the bests vocalists alive. Same for Patti label. (But wow 41!!!! She looks like 23!)
@@ChristianJaramillo10 same tbh, but some of Sohyang's notes sound just too twangy to me, wich i personally only like in her upper belts, the mid belts just sound weird to me, my opinión though, Tone Is subjective after all. Demi's voice definetly used to be way prettier than it Is now though, her voice used to be really, bright, girly, soft and light, wich i liked More, now she sounds too nasal.
Wow I'm so impressed!! I didn't know this girl SoHyang before this video. She's amazing, her voice is tremendously awesome and beautiful!! I can't believe I've never heard of her before. This is mind-blowing.
Abdul Baasit So Hyang is a 41 year old South Korean vocalist. She has roots in gospel but has made a name for herself by competing in many Korean competitions, doing duets with famous American artists, and recording many collabs, personal songs, and soundtracks. She’s pretty much a universally praised and adored living legend in her home country and for good reason. You should really check out some of her performances. She has countless on RU-vid. Not only is she one of the most technically skilled vocalists ever (probably the best alive right now), but she has amazing covers with beautiful, emotive arrangements.
@@abdulbaasit1824 and she even took a few vocal lessons with Michael Jacksons voice coach Seth Riggs, learning the mixed voice techniques in under like 5 lessons
I wish videos like these would cover singers’ entire ranges instead of just their uppermost belts. It really creates a narrow depiction of what a “good singer” is.
Jordan Davis A fair complaint, but even with a full range comparison, Sohyang would still win. The only advantage Demi has is slightly better low note support.
Skyler Powers I won’t say who would win or who wouldn’t, but I appreciate you seeing the deeper point. Even in other videos with Sohyang all I really hear about are her high notes. She (and every vocalist) has more to them than that, and I think it’s interesting to explore some of those lesser-shown aspects of their voices too
Jordan Davis I think people just like to compare Sohyang’s high notes to that of famous western singers because her high notes are just so unbelievably good. From a technical perspective, Sohyang pretty much has the best upper belting register of all time. Balanced (or slightly heady when sick) with support up to C#6. I know the channel Lovato Lover compared the entire ranges of Sohyang, Demi, and Ariana as well as things like agility, transitions, whistle register, breath support, and tone, and Sohyang still won by a very large margin.
We already know that SoHyang wins this easily. Maybe some people say that her tone is not great, but i love it, and technically she's a beast! I'm sorry, but everything above Eb5 and up is for SoHyang too, everything.
I’ve never really understood how someone could prefer Demi or Ariana’s tones. At a certain point they just sound like they’re yelling shrilly and thinly just to reach the notes. Sohyang supports and resonates all of her belts with such bright, resonant, beautiful healthy belts. Tone is subjective though.
@@richardzhu7885 But whats left? lows and mid belts go to Mariah, definetely. We can include agility which gives Mariah an additional point, she is one of the most agile vocal monsters. Breath management and consistency for Sohyang. Transitioning point each. 5:4 for Sohyang
Rebin Ismail first of all, lows-and mid-belts definitely goes to Mariah, and on the upper belting they’re equal since they’re all supported and resonate in their prime(what I mean by upper belting is E5-G5) and super upper belting(above G5-C#6) goes for Sohyang since Mariah never belted anything above G5, head voice goes to Sohyang as well. Plus breath support should be Mariah since lots of her songs are vocal demanding and the translations between registers are insane so you need very good breath management in order to support those notes. At last, agility definitely belongs to Mariah since she’s one of the most agile singers in the world. Overall they’re pretty equal, but Mariah has more consistency over all the registers that she sings(because she supports all of her head voices during her prime even though they’re not resonate)
Haven’t even watched this yet, but here’s my opinion 😂 I prefer Demi’s voice and music, but Sohyang is a vocal powerhouse who is UNMATCHED. Demi is primarily chest with a lot of mix, while Sohyang is mainly mix with chest resonance.
Demi is also a powerhouse. Her voice is incredible powerful. But yeah Sohyang in th extrem of high notes has a better technique. But Demi also wins in some high notes and in mid and lows notes.
Sohyang is definitely the technically superior belter over Demi (she could literally support over an octave higher than Demi with a balanced mix). I prefer Sohyang’s tone as well. It’s so bright and resonant. Due to her lack of support and a subpar mix, Demi sounds really thin, nasal, and shouty the higher she goes. Her C5s are great though. Both are very talented, but Sohyang definitely has a much greater technical edge.
Technique is great and helpful but, I really almost dislike Demi's voice most of the time but . . . I prefer her voice over SoHyang's, better or not. SoHyang is so vocally bland. It's like listening to a Disney Princess voice actress, but one of the ones you just don't care much about? Demi at least has color and texture. A vocal flavor. It's kind of like having a master seamstress and designer at your disposal, but the only fabric you can use is burlap. Who cares if the stitching is perfect, who actually wears it / wants to wear it?
That said as bland as both of them are artistically and creatively, Demi has SoHyang beat for days as far as that end goes. SoHyang is just impressive, but her voice reminds me of a Disney Princess. NOTHING interesting there.
@@iTeacupPanda hahaa ar u joking 😂 u said her Voice Nothing to Demi Lovato??? hahaa She is Queen not need to Compare so Hyang to Other Singer in this Frikin World 😂
Because she isn't the honest vocal coach, she is always biased. Demi, Miley and Tori, Mariah are her sweethearts and always get points even if they don't deserve it. But Christina, Celine she is always more critical of.
I really hope you react to sohyang again!! She’s a tremendous vocalist and a cancer survivor. She sings for the lord, to move and help people. I can’t stress enough how brilliant her technique is. She’s mostly self taught but did receive some training from I believe Micheal Jackson’s vocal coach years ago.
I don't know, Jessie J is pretty amazing. I'm not even that big a Jessie fan but, y'know. Plus SoHyang is vocally so dull and boring. It's like having a master chef in your home and they make you . . . toast. Sorry, but I'd rather have B+ lobster than A+ toast.
Arirang Alone, Bridge Over Trouble Water, Mona Lisa and many other almost flawless performances when she was sick or had pneumonia sweep Demi's all performances un my opinion. So Hyang is like showing only her supported range and she really control her voice.
I agree. I love Demi she’s such a good artist and vocalist but soyhang is better and will be one of the best of all time so I think it was a bit unfair to put Demi against soyhang even though she did really well against her
@@tristantristan3735 if your tone was good but can’t control it What’s next ? I mean i’m in love with demi right now But they both have a good tone, like Ariana and Demi tho All people say that Ariana has better Tone But it’s not true, cause they both different
I always fell for Demi's voice but I think no female singer in the world can match sohyang flawless techniques executions. Best female singer by far. Thanks
It is actually pronounced: Soiang (korean student here: h's are voiceless in middle of words at the start of a middle syllable, they sound like in English at the beginning of words and at the end of syllables they sound like a t [called "batchim"])
@@evrimozkan2362 Dude, she has fake vibrato, she's not consistent, her high notes are pushed and strained. She's somewhere around "B" tier. Regardless singing shouldn't be a competition but in terms of healthy vocals it's So Hyang easily.
Respect goes to Sohyang! She is a survivor and appreciates every day she gets to be alive and does not take it for granted... some folks crying about food and she literally was in the fight for her life with cancer so...
Don't get me wrong, I think Demi is a great singer but this is kinda not fair for her. So Hyang is in the same league as Whitney, Celine, Mariah etc. I love your reaction videos by the way, keep it up!
Aijaz Ahmed very subjective lol. Tone and musicality? Clearly all you know of Sohyang is compilation videos like these and you obviously have a bias to Demi..
Aijaz Ahmed Demi's lows aren't that good and what do you mean by Demi having better musicality? Sohyang is always adding crescendos, diminuendos, vibrato into certain parts of songs, an edgy sound for a more rock like approach, appropriate runs and breathiness as well. Tone is completely subjective.
This vocal coach really loves Demi Everytime that demi loses a point she has no comment about Demi's issue but when Sohyang does not get the point She has alot of issues againts her She's not completely honest
It's probably because it's obvious and everyone knows Demi's issues. Not saying anything doesn't make you dishonest. You're delusional if you think this woman has something against SoHyang just because she has commentary.
Georgina, they are both using a "mix" of chest and head voice. It's physiologically impossible to "belt" that high in pure chest voice. Yes, the ratios in their mixes differ, but they're both indeed using some dimension of their head voice.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT, belting Is pretty much taking mixed voice higher, they are both lyric sopranos, they are already mixing in g4, so you can't say they are not mixed. The difference Is Demi Is chestier. But belting with pure chest would be Christina Aguilera, specially in her debut, that Is pretty much screaming and you can see it límite her range as well.
I know what you mean but I think that she meant that it might be a bit harder for Demi because of the amount of chest she puts into her mix and she doesn’t put in that much head voice where as soyhang is more on the heady mix side where as Demi is just very very chesty it almost sounds as if she is using her chest voice😂
That's right, but SoHyang sings all her belting range with head voice dominance, which is pretty clear around C-Eb5. When Demi sings it powerfully with almost clear chest voice, SoHyang is quite weak and mushy in this area. The higher she goes, the strength grows because her head dominant mix starts to shine there. On the other hand, Demi keeps chest dominance all the way up which is much harder to keep ease and sustain. It often leads her to strain or miss pitch, but overally it's much more powerful sound.
Hi, One more thing, Sohyang is ranked as a Star with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey in the world's Top singer category by the American Music Critics. I must say Sohyang is the only singer in the world who combines Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Thanks. From the U.S.
Thank you for your interesting reaction. I love Sohyang but all of them are great singer. Real fans are never jealous of another one, especially when there is a great talent. Sohyang is one of the best pure, emotional and powerful singer I've ever heard and seen. Also Demi must be great singer. Honestly I don't want to compare them. Have a nice day.
"Sohyang is one of the best pure, emotional and powerful singer I've ever heard and seen." also you: "Also Demi must be great singer". Great job for not comparing them.
@@l.a.a.c2055 but that's it, quality is support and resonance i don't understand how demi can have points over sohyang when sohyang's notes are better in quality, meaning better in technique.
@@shh4874 yall sohyang supporters should shut up over comments who don't agree with u, it's stupid offending other artists just cause yall overproctecting your fav
Have you heard of SoHyang's story? She is a cancer survival, she sings for churches and charities, and she does missionary works. Unlike Demi and most singers, she rejected agencies chasing for her signature including that of the late Michael Jackson. Her songs are to console those who need consolation. Now you know why she isn't famous, while BTS and Blackpink are.
You are so wrong about So Hyang, she is operatically trained. So much bias in this video. Demi pushes more than So Hyang, there is virtually perfect freedom in her voice, her use of Dynamics destroy Demi's senseless shouting. Demi also has intonation issues. Plus, So Hyang in many of these clips just beat breast cancer.
Yea lets compare them when they’re on same age, who knows Demi can improve her vocals substantially in the future when she reaches 40. Even the trinity can’t put up a fight against Sohyang at the age of 41 assuming all the trinities in their 41.
@@eri6984 she was actually sick for quite some time because she tends to get sick easly and she was recently on a boat with some friends and her health was even worse because of it but two days ago it was said that she recovered and that she is exercising too so that's good.
The person who created that comparison video looked for Sohyang's weaker vocals to compare with Demi's best vocals but Sohyang still won. I wish you watched Sohyangs Best vocals where she wasn't going through vocal fatigue and stress
Demi is so great with those notes at the beginning of 5th octave. She can still maintain up to the mid 5th, but again and again, those notes at the top of 5th octave (from G5 and above) is the HOME of the QUEEN! Edit: At that moment when I saw Sohyang with the E5 from Fate comes up, I knew she would win!!! That performance with the orchestra held one of her best Fate performances ever!
Freaking AMAZING! I'm a big Demi fan too, she's amazing! Having that said, I feel one simply cannot compete with SoHyang when it comes to high notes, she's unbelievable!
On a topic unrelated to the video why do you dislike growls. Because in my opinion the are beautiful and performances like Mimi's vision of love performance at the bet blueprint in 2005 make me laugh and come out in goosebumps every time I hear it. Obviously not every growl will be done right but when it is it is amazing
Oh ! As expected, Sohyang is the incredible and fantastic TOP Singer in the world ! Although Demi Lovato is a very good singer, Sohyang is the next level artist. I hope you watch the videos of Sohyang's amazing performances from beginning to end. Many thanks for your nice reaction. From the U.S.
Singer? Yes. Artist? No. As someone else mentioned she is extremely technically sound and perfect, but my god is she dull and forgettable. Musically it's like listening to a Disney Princess movie, but not even one you're interested in listening to the soundtrack for. Her vocal choices are safe, she lacks shades of color and tones to make you lean forward. Who cares about perfect stitching if the dress is made of burlap? Who cares about A+ toast when there is B+ or A- Lobster out there?
This wasn’t as close as the score said it was. After C#5 SoHyang dominated. I liked the video both are amazing singer just two completely different leagues
I love them both, but I think SoHyang is better, she's even able so belt a c#6 omg, and she also has been in a lot of things not only Demi, SoHyang is a cancer surviver and is just gettin' better always
I'm a huge Demi fan and I obviously have a soft-spot for her but she didn't get any points from me against SoHyang. It was a blow-out... sorry, not sorry. 😂
Both have great voices. I like Demi's natural tone better. She has such a warm and versatile voice. But her upper register can be super annoying at times though. I also like SoHyang's sweet tone. She sings a lot better in Korean and is technically more polished than Demi. Her upper register and head voice are unvelievable!
Technique wise it's obviously Sohyang if you take in the consistency factor. I used to sing Demi's songs every single day since I was in like primary/elementary school so I understand why you prefer Demi 😂😂.
Demi should’ve been lower... queen soyang slays a lot more technique wise plus you have Demi point for high larynx and tremolo... which she fakes her vibrato by pulling the larynx... not so honest here my” honestvocalcoach”
Demi Eb5 vs SoHyang Eb5 seriously? Demi is obviously straining Also the first G5 Demi was straining and SoHyang was resonating Also 2nd G5 strain v resonance How don't you hear it????? Ur biased against SoHyang definitely Shes the best belter in the 5th octave the world has seen alongside Mariah considering resonance but SoHyang sings so much higher into the 5th
The Elusive Lamb why are u frustrated ? Cuz u know that ur shitty Sohyang is listen by 300 people. While Demi is like one of the biggest out there, and still capable of belting a Bb5. Btw Demi can whistle Bb7 and soHyang no. Thank u
Alexandre Peneau Demi isn't one of the biggest out there, nor will she ever be. Nobody cares about her strained Bb5s which she only manages to hit once in a blue moon. She's inconsistent as hell, SoHyang can't relate nor is she trying to be an international pop star lmao.
@@kataanga5608 Demi is not the biggest there lol! Demi whistles are exclamations and her belts above like C5 are strain whereas SoHyang mixes and resonates up to C#6 :DD Also I'm a Mariah fan not a SoHyang fan and Well Mariah is billion time smore popular than demi and iconic demi sucks But I am also a fan of good technique and So Hyang has a good technique whereas Demi SUCKS
@熊熊 熊熊 it doesn't sound like screaming. Just about every other vocal coach on RU-vid calls it for what it is a perfect balanced mix and sometimes a heady mix
Yeah, literally every other vocal coach, some with more credentials, never ever described her as yelling a note. So Hyang is trained by professional singers, one of which was Michael Jacksons vocal coach. She doesn't yell. Ever. I suspect the honest vocal coach brings some unconscious bias into her reviews sometimes
I've been saying she's not a good vocal coach from ever since... She prefers bright tone and sometimes completely ignored a person technique... I'm sure if she were to review Mariah vs Lara fabian/sohyang/Monica (Spain), she would give Mariah the win because of her bright tone despite all those 3 ladies technique is much better than mariah's
