Great reaction❤ These are 2 Champions songs…First is the football championship song we all know as you correctly said and the 2nd one is the Korean soprano Jo Sumi’s song for the 2002 football championship in Korea. Ko Woorim is now serving his mandatory service in the military til May 2025, so Forestella will be a trio temporarily until his return. So on January 6th the trio had an Immortal Song special episode broadcast in honour of KIM SOO-CHEOL in a show: Kim Soo-Cheol and New Friends . He is a legendary guitarist and is affectionately known as Little Giant.😊On the same show they performed 2 songs : QUEEN’S THE SHOW MUST GO ON and a rearranged HIJO DE LA LUNA FIR 3 VOICES. I would be interested to see what you think of these 2 new performances for 2024.😊😅
Thanks for your fantastic reaction to Forestella again. The intro part is from UEFA Champions League theme song in French, German and English which brought the melody from UK coronation anthem Zadok the Priest by Handel. Forestella mashed it up in the intro but the main song is Jo SuMi's Champions which was one of 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup anthems. Funny thing is Jo SuMi's Champions is much more well-known to Korean people unlike the Champs league theme much more well-known to westerners (and football fans all over the world). If you give a try to listen to Jo SuMi's original Champions, you would understand how well they mash-up those songs. This song is one of their must-hear-in-live songs which has a big gap from what you hear in the videos. When I heard it for the first time, I couldn't help but giving standing ovation immediately. Another must-hear-in-live songs; Moonlit Night of Shilla, Parla piu piano, Unwritten Legend, We are the Champions, Lazenca Save us, Save our lives, etc. Actually every song sounds better in live, these were more surprising to me like dramatically.
it is originated Main Theme Song of 2002 Korea-Japan worldcup, performed by soprano Jo Soomi at that time. and this is meshed up with UEFA champison league title theme song at the beginning. for me, this is one of the best forestella cover. good job.
