Vocal Coach Reacts to So Hyang - Arirang Alone - Immortal Songs 2

If I’m not mistaken, SO HYANG was diagnosed with cancer…after surviving the ordeal she saw her second chance at life as a gift from God and dedicated her voice/life to brining joy to others…she is a gospel singer who grew up singing in church and she rejected international fame choosing instead to sing only for Jesus and to raise money for charity. This is why I believe we feel so much from her singing...its from above and real.

it's a Korean folk song that is often considered the unofficial national anthem of Korea. It is estimated the song is more than 600 years old. So it means alot to koreans.

the dress she's wearing is called a hanbok!! it's a traditional dress that's worn on korean new year!!

Arirang is a very special song for Koreans. It may not be well known to those who do not know Korean history. Arirang is a song of Korean people who has experienced Korean spirit, joy, sorrow and suffering. Perhaps it is peace around the world.

So Hyang is beyond amazing. Wish she's more famous worldwide because she deserves it. You should react to her version of Lean on me. She took it to a whole another level in the presence of the original singer Michael Bolton

No lie, Arirang Alone was the first singing video that made me cry. From that day on, SoHyang became my most favourite singer. I have many other singers that I also love and adore, but this video has a special place in my heart.

These are times when I’m really proud to be korean.

I'm Mexican but I must say. I can not listen this song without crying myself. If I was a singer I'm certain I couldn't deliver it like she did. It was perfect.

Your face at 4:05 perfectly describes how I felt when I heard that Bb5😂❤️

Yesss, So Hyang is phenomenal. I’d say she’s easily the best female vocalist currently alive because her technique is virtually flawless and her upper register and head voice are pretty much the best in the world right now. And the fact that she can hit and sustain resonant Bb5s (like in this performance) and beyond (up to C#6) with a fully balanced mixed voice is incredible. I have yet to hear anyone else who can sing with a balanced mix so high with so much resonance and clarity and not strain, raise the larynx, or break. She’s truly incredible. You should check out “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Everyone” next by her.

literally name a singer who can hold a Bb5 for as long and as flawless as sohyang did.

Sohyang actually said that she sometimes teared up while practicing that song. Wow I respect her more after you explained about emotional control in singing bcs she's able to hold herself together while performing this! :D

3:16 'Kuh-sen' means wild/strong (wind) you can see her use her breaths and intonation to emphasize it.

Yes! Finally Arirang Alone :) I got chills all over when I watched it first time, even though I don't understand Korean. Her chest to head voice transition-bloody smooth. Thank you so much for reacting to this :). Please check out Dimash's performance An Unforgettable Day (Gakku... I dunno if that is a place or what, I apologise. But it's a live performance). You're in for a real surprise. Trust me :) Love your videos :)

잠을자야되는데ᆢ 출근해야는데ᆢ 흘러흘러 이곳까지왔네

I've Watched her sing so many times Every time she hits that high note Tears MY EYES CRYING AHHH

So Hyang is just amazing! And so are you=) Thanks for your reaction!

Oh no so hyang's arirang alone and bridge over troubled water are really tear jerking... she really put her heart in these songs!can you elaborate about mixed voice. She said in yhy sketchbook that Michael Jackson ex vocal teacher had taught her' ney ney ney' vocal scale

소향 언니 멋져요.. 진짜 목소리 들을 때마다 우네요ㅠ 외국분들은 잘 모르겠지만 한국의 전통적 정서가 너무 잘 나타나서 들을 때마다 행복해요❤

That Bb5 is the most clean and pristine Bb5 I have ever heard, I love SoHyang and your reactions! Please keep doing more of SoHyang and Dimash of course :D

It's so addictive listening to her super high notes with those crazy runs..!!!! Forever Queen SoHyang!!!!

소향 노래는 100번을 들어도 여전히 믿겨지지가 않지만. . .저 선생님 내공도 장난이 아닌듯. . .

Not only did I had chills from listening to So Hyang, but I also had chills from your voice as well. So clear and beautiful TT_TT

It's a very meaningful traditional Korean music for Koreans. It's a song that incorporates all their emotions. "Arirang Alone" sung by Sohyang always makes my heart hot and tear up. Koreans will relate to my story. I'm thrilled that this song resonates beyond Korea to the rest of the world.

*YESSSSS THANK YOU TARA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS* She is one of the most technically proficient vocalists of all time it's so amazing to hear her. Please also review and analyze "Fate" (very nice and traditional like this one, nice runs and dynamics and amazing powerful belts and long climaxes), "Lean On Me" (combination of agile runs, dynamics, amazing transitions and insane upper belts), "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (starts off with angelic head voice like Arirang, turns into a powerful song with loud, resonant belts where she demonstrates her use of compression), "Dream" (her own song, one of her hardest. Phrased high notes in mix with trills and complex runs and sustained head voice high note at the end), "Mona Lisa" (a rock song, incredibly difficult), Breathe, Do You Know, Dear Love (some of her most beautiful ones)

SoHyang has so many flawless performances you can throw a rock and hit one. “Mona lisa” on a show called “masked singer” is a total 180 and shows how dynamic she is.

I get goosebumps on every note.

와... 나는 갓소향 누님도 갓소향 누님이지만 이 선생님도 대단하신거 같애. 소향누님의 보컬 기술들을 섬세하게 다 잡아내서 그걸 또 설명을 하고 직접 시연을 하네.... 이런 선생님이 gorgeous, great, very nice, excellent를 남발하는 걸 보니 갓소향 누님이 진짜 엄청나시구나 싶다. 월클 보컬 갓소향 크으~~ 국뽕에 취해본다~~~

I have no idea why, but when 4:04 she did that, tears just streamed out of my eyes and I have no clue what this song was about or any of it.

이 유튜버의 소향 리액션 조회수만 비교 해 봐도 소향을 좋아하는 사람이 얼마나 많은지 알 수 있다. 소향 항상 응원합니다

Jesus you understand her vocal so well!

*Ive watched this many times but i still got goosebumps*

The greatest reaction I've ever heard & seen. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. Sohyang is an angel. Really I believe it. She is so pure, beautiful, powerful, soulful and amazing. I am always so happy to hear her song. Very nice to see you. God bless you. Good luck.

Best arirang in the whole wide world... So hyang is so with the nature. Beautiful hanbok

She is the queen of mix voice. ❤

This is my favorite performance from her! She sings high like nothing but the Bb5 she sings in this song has a totally different emotion!

Congratulation for your award and you did a great job. Thank you so much for reacting to Sohyang. ❤️❤️❤️

소향이 한국인으로써 너무 자랑스럽고 존경스럽다💕

She has a voice of angel, i swear!!!

Omg thank you for reacting to this!!! And welcome to the world of Sohyang lol I’m sure all of her fans, myself included, will be recommending all of her great performances on every video 😂. She’s easily one of my favorite artist and you’re one of my if not my favorite people to watch when I want to learn about music. I LOVE YOUR VIDS!!

Love your videos. At this reaction I even teared up, felt what she was singing. Amazing. Congratulations on your award. 🐉🌸

보컬코치분들 중에서는 이 분이 최고인거 같다👍👍👍

Thank you for your analysis and reaction. As you see, she always sends messages to us; she says about and for something. Not to speak of her vocal technique, she's respectable for her sincerity, her true heart, which you mentioned and I loved it. I bet you'll react to her another performance sooner or later.

yasss girl finally!!!

Sohyang is the best singer and most adorable woman. And Tara you’re the best vocal coach and most gorgeous woman❣️

Wow..you so good to found that tone and make example time to us..with honesty the reaction...that my lovely favorite SOHYANG 🌸🌸🌸

The violin and her voice is 👌👌

Thanks goodness. I have been impatiently waiting for this. My favorite RU-vid vocal coach reacting to my favorite live vocal performance. I requested this so long ago and was losing hope. Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of your reactions instead of stressing over this. I am so satisfied right now. Thank you Tara!

Such a beautiful woman! Love your reaction!

So glad you got that award !! Thank you for reviewing this song !! So Hyang is awesome

3:58 I got goosebumps. She is probably the best singer I have ever heard.

You have to listen to Park Hyo Shin - Wild flower live. He gets really emotional and hes an amazing vocalist

Magnificent! So Hyang is my most admired singer from South Korea. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for this beautiful reaction video, Coach Tara, I hope you check her version of You Raise Me Up.

소향 은 우리의 보물 ♥♥♥!!!!!

How can any human produce sounds like that? That was angelic. I have no words left. Speechless. Just goosebumps.

I actually find myself re watching your vids to remember key points, I've even got my mate who busks daily in Central London watching your stuff as well! He's loving it too. Can't wait for The Ringmasters Notre Dame Medley reaction 😏

Yassss I'm so glad you did this video! I also really appreciate your knowledge in the art of singing, you really know EXACTLY what you are talking about.

So Hyang is so impressive

i have no idea how i got to watch your reaction videos, but I LOVED IT ! You really explained all the details clearly so that even people like me, who doesn't know a thing about vocal techniques, could comprehend. I was also impressed how you could feel her emotion all throughout the song! Thank you for the such a professional reaction video!

Congratulations on your Award!!!!

Thank you very much for your new reaction of the Queen of Korea, our Sohyang ! ❤👑❤

이 노래는 평가를 하는게 아니라 그 자체로 그냥 즐기면 됩니다

아마 소향은 보컬 코치 최상위 클라스 표본이 아닐까 싶네요😀😀

Omg thank you I asked about this so much 😂😂!!

finally, so hyang amazing !!!

I would love to hear her and Dimash sing together. But they would have to reinforce the roof first. Lol. Or they would have to be in an open theater. She and Dimash are the best.

I found it so cute how the vocal coach said "She's really pretty" that was so adorable. It was random but that's what made it cute and adorable.😄😁

Finally... Amazing so hyang and great reaction.. 👍👍 👍 congratulations for award.. Please so hyang more. So hyang - Bridge over troubled water so hyang - everyone..

I've been waiting for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Immortal Songs 2 is such a great show where current artists reimagine older songs in their own style. I wish the had it here in the UK, as it would really showcase people's skills on tv

The first time I heard her sing this song I got chills and tears just streamed down my face. Her voice is just amazing. Would love to see your reaction to her songs Home (which was on a game show she’s wearing a cute mask) and Where Are You. Fate is also a good song too! Thanks for reviewing her!

So Hyang - EVERYONE PLEASEEEEEE

I learn SOOO much from this channel

Congratulations coach on your award and thank you for reacting on So Hyang again. Please react more on her. Lean on Me, Everyone, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Dream should be next! Please coach :)

Wow~ really amazing and beautiful~! She is out of world I think.

Thank you for checking this out! “As I Live” is really great by her as well. Loving the reactions so far ❤️

thank you for introducing me to Sohyang, she’s my favorite vocalist now

More So Hyang !!! Thank you ~

고맙습니다.😊

Sohyang is truly amazing and you're as cool as she is !

감사합니다

I love So Hyang. She is so amazing!!! And i love your channel. You teach while you react. Thank you so much!

YES BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED IT YET BUT I KNOW IT'S GOOD

아리랑 😍 사랑핸요 소향😘 Sorry for those Koreans out there, still trying to learn Hangul.

THANK YOU!

by far the best review/react ive seen. thank you for this. Im not a singer AT ALL, but I am recently a huge So Hyang fan, and this was nice. thank you!

Thank you for introducing her to me... She is truly amazing... I feel like we use this word way too much but this time it's well deserved!

Sohyang's legend maker note, her iconic Bb5 👍💖👍. *_THE_* gold standard that all future Bb5 will be measured against, including Sohyang's. 😁 Congrats on the awards! 🎉👏 Well deserved. If you want to be more technical, like the larynx explanation here, go for it. You won't believe things I've heard from "vocal coaches" who stated that support is a myth, no such thing as strain, resonance is just volume, etc. 😲 These aren't fake focal coaches either, who use "vocal coach" clickbait titles. If you can help advocate the proper techniques, that would be great. 👍

God she's amazing, I just wanna meet her and give her a hug

So hyang takes me to church every time. Emotionally impactful singer. I’m 73 years old and let me introduce you and your subscribers to an unheralded little known but world-class female vocalist in her day (from my generation )who had a unique recognizably ethereal voice and a small but worldwide cult following in the 1960s early 70s. Her name was Morgana King and she had a Celestial heavenly angelic voice, unique and mesmerizing. When a song by her came over the radio, within the first 20 seconds you KNEW it was Morgana King and you stopped whatever you were doing to listen in rapt attention. She’ll transport your spirit to another realm. If I may so bold as to suggest you and your audience privately listen to the following 3 songs that will silence your mind and open the floodgate of your heart. They were posted by a “ Morganafan” who added remarkable imagery that greatly enhances the emotional impact of each of these recorded songs. Her voice will transport you and your readership to a state of heavenly bliss. Please RU-vid “ Morgana King Happy Birthday June 2017” ( 4:26 in duration) “ Morgana King Prelude to a kiss” ( 3:49 duration.) “ Morgana King birthday In memoriam” ( 2:44 duration) Morganafan spent months selecting and putting the breathtaking imagery in each song to coordinate with the lyrics. Please react privately. No one will recommend her. She passed away recently but her songs and voice will live on thanks to RU-vid and a small but frenzied devoted fan base. Hope you become a fan. She has over 100 youtube recordings and a few live performances if you care to see what she looked like in her prime. If you enjoy her celestial voice, Please tell others. The young generation should be at least made aware of the passing of a world-class female vocalist . All love from SOBE ( South Beach , Florida where I reside), Al
