Great reaction and analysis. Welcome to Sohyang's world. She's a book of a legendary vocal skills, and it's just a tip of her masterpieces iceberg. Can't wait for your another reaction of her. Cheers.
Nice reaction. Really enjoyed your breakdown and thoughts about Sohyang's stunning "I Have Nothing" here. There've been times netizens use the issue of autotune to mock Korean singers. It's no surprise some Sohyang fans may feel sensitive on the topic but I get your point. I have also heard this performance on a fancam video. It really demonstrates the point you made that the raw human sound carries more nuances, and in case of Sohyang, even better resolution on the details of her singing. BTW, when you talk about "youthfulness" of Sohyang's voice, the word I think of is "vitality" in my head. Her voice is so pure, energetic that it gives off the sense of life, growth, and hope.
Thank you so much for checking this out. Interesting to hear your thoughts. Sohyang is one of those singers who get better like wine. She performed at begin again korea this and the last week and was absolutely amazing! She sang songs like "I will always love you", "Please" (a wonderful korean song" or "I won't give up", "I'll be there". But also recent songs like "Stuck with you". She can literally sing everything she wants. 😊 Since I didn't read a comment about this, she sang her own song "Dream" at the same concert, it's a really high (like insanely high) and hard song with so many changes which makes the "I have nothing" performance even more impressive. Maybe you want to check it out?
Korean broadcasting tends to do some post-editing from what I have heard rather than autotune because most of these are contests. I'm sure the audience is getting the raw non edited version but come to put it up on TV they tweak things. Sometimes they reduce the instrumental and audience (screaming audience and drums on Lean on Me) So Hyang is so good it's hard to tell what they have done if anything to her voice. She credits Seth Riggs teaching her mixed voice, but she only had a few lessons from him while she was visiting the US. I believe she is mostly self-taught. "So Hyoung" is as close as non Korean's can pronounce it. , the h is soft and connected.
thanks for the analysis So Hyang auto-tune? one of the best vocalist of the history? I suggest that you react to the most difficult performance for So Hyang, according to his own words, the song EVERYONE, is his final song to say the least, it is sublime, epic, a sample of the vocal power of this legend, you will see for you same, I leave you the link: vimeo.com/249195615
OK just finished. First of all her name is pronounced So Hyung and you are doing it perfectly. Second I spit out my water at 12:54 and you owe me a new keyboard. Third her background was singing praise songs in church and then with a Contemporary Christian Band. She's a high soprano who idolized Whitney, Mariah, Celine etc and when young she tried to push her chest voice up much too far with predictable results (check out her videos before 2008 or so to see the difference.) She credits Seth Riggs who helped her develop her mix and now that's her default setting and makes those transitions just effortless. 4th This was a great reax and I did smash the Subscribe button.

First off I’m hitting the subscribe button immediately lol. It was highly educational and entertaining. You’re amazing thanks for making this one haha.
She sang higher key for this song. You pronounced her name 👌. She does all arrangement of her songs. She did go for a few days classes learning from Seth Riggs and the rest self learnt on her own by listening to Whitney / Mariah/ Celine. She is a gospel singer. She can play guitar.
Here are two female Korean singers of very high note. One is So Hyang [One of the World Best 6 Vocalists on Critic of Music, World Vocal Assessment Site.(Vocal Rating : STAR). D3-C#6-A6-Eb7. Soul, R&B, Jazz, CCM, Beautiful Voice, Resonance, Delivery, Delicate, Ethereal, Stunning, Eyes-watering, Out of This World. She overcome cancer and pneumonia. Lirico Soprano. Amazing points are below.]. The other is Park Kiyoung(F6. Rock, Cross-over, World No.1 youtube views of Nella Fantasia). 1. So Hyang 1) Bridge over troubled water ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C6iHh4yBxCo.html (Despite the high notes, she emphasized Chest Voice. Incredible!) 2) You raise me up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-te_L9ofhUt8.html (She struggled against pneumonia and phlegm which is fatal to a singer, and was told not to sing by the doctor. But she turned a deaf ear to this advice and by a miracle suceeded in this stage in the middle of an IV. But after this performance, she dread this disease(only singers can know), became lethargic and was rarely seen in public for about 2 years. One day she saw and was inspired by the words of Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Then she returned.) 3) I have nothing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CFtRUSPxcas.html 4) Lean on me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvsgCllcNPE.html 5) I will always love you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DO845EqU3eE.html 6) Arirang alone ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zFyndK9VOCk.html 7) Misty (Jazz) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CU8AKUBM9BQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5oBdTq0S_LU.html 8) Hug me -> This song is a dialogue between lovers. Whenever So Hyang sings this song, she is about to cry. So I guess, in my opinion, this song can be a dialogue between a human and God. I heard she was upset that she had pneumonia and lost her voice. While she struggled against pneumonia, she sang this song.

The thing that sucks about autotune is that it obliterates the artist's manner of ARRIVING AT the pitch, which the ear interprets as *musicality*. It would be like having an "autoswish" in the NBA, where you get to see the ball go perfectly into the net every time, and never see how the player appoached the shot because it's all been smoothed out by CGI. Autotune does to pitch what 80s drum machines did for rhythm: everything is clinical and "perfect" and no track has drums "on top" of or relaxing behing the beat. Sohyang's mix is phenomenal. Other than Dimash and Sohyang, the other great modern mixer is Floor Jansen. Check out her cover of Shallow on the Beste Zangers program... phenomenal. Sohyang's a church singer, not a music academy grad.

As a viewer of S. Korean broadcast shows for 10+ years now what I have observed is .. 2 things broadcast showcase music shows in Korea frown on is lip sync (many entertainers used it pre 2000's) and autotune .. they often have backing tracks (mostly for idol groups and will edit in eq (as in her IS2 you raise me up performance) live or post production but autotune if used at all it is in recording/studios not TV broadcasts ... but it is your reaction and if you interpret it as autotune so be it ... people like me can either accept your words or not .. I don't . It doesn't diminish the reaction we all have our own ears and can still judge for ourselves.

I don't know why people got mad at you for acknowledging that Korean dubs their live performances when this is known. Real Sohyang fans know she sounds just as good if not better live/on fancam, no need to be triggered by the truth being stated.
Korean pop singer often do lip-sync to a recorded version of the music during live performances. Usually while dancing. There are some who sing live, at least some of the time. Sohyang sings live but the recordings are sometimes heavily edited afterwards. The pitch is corrected with autotune, the various sources are balanced, the frequencies are equalized, and the dynamic range is compressed so it sound OK over crappy TV, phone, and computer speakers. Basically it's cleaned up and homogenized. But as Jonathan points out, this takes a lot of the singer's expression out in favor of what the editors thinks it should sound like. Editors can be forgiven because they are competing with others and they want it to sound pretty decent over whatever playback system the listener is using. Some of that is actually done live in venue for the audience -- the "house mix" -- but the recording mix is edited more later by engineers. You can tell sometimes how heavy the edit is because you hear a machine-like tone quality at the onset of a note. Something a person couldn't create. Anyway, I've heard a lot of unedited stuff of Sohyang's and the edits don't change the pitch much. She has great pitch, or has had for the last decade. Her early years where a little crazy but totally fun as she fired away at high notes in her gospel songs. She would have made a killer heavy metal singer.
Your 'sohyang' pronunciation is quite accurate btw, You have to understand the editing of the performance video. They are basically sellers, These programs are sold secondarily to tier 2 vendor, and secondary sales of performance music sources are also available to the public. If they don't do post production, they will probably be fired.
Yes. And they also have to compress most of the dynamic range out for TV and RU-vid. That makes the pitch stand out more since it becomes the primary source of 'movement' in the song. I'd prefer less compression and less pitch correction. But, they've got a job to do.
Hey Jonathan, you pronounced her name right first time with strong H sound. Then you pronounced her name like Soyang which is wrong. Don't bother to listen to others who has no idea about Korean. Keep it up the good work.
