    The forbidden love performance altered the chemistry of my brain since it came out, I will never be the same lol

    this cover of forbidden love is simply the best thing ever made, jooyeon's raspy voice wtf. And usually those people who smile watching them sing are the original singers of those songs.

    OK, I have entirely too much info on this show and these performances and got a Viki plus subscription solely so I could watch the full eps they appeared on so I’m gonna info dump. Immortal Songs is a casual competition show that’s been running for like 20 years or something close to that, tho I know it’s gone through a couple different iterations. Basically the premise is that each episode features a “legendary” artist or a theme (like King of High Notes or Best OSTs) and various current artists are invited on to perform a cover of one of the legendary artist’s songs or a song that fits the theme. It’s a cool show bc 1) they get artists from all different corners of the entertainment industry, so you can get solo balladeers competing against musical theater actors and idols and bands, and 2) the emphasis is on the vocals, so no lip-syncing and minimal or no backing tracks, all live singing. The downside of the show, at least from my perspective as someone who’s seen a couple dozen episodes, is that they are extremely biased towards solos and ballads, which just usually don’t hit for me. Also, the structure of the show (2 contestants drawn randomly will perform, live studio votes and the winner sits on a fancy red couch, next performer picked again from a random draw, if they get more votes than the 1st winner then they get to take over the red couch, so on and so forth until a final winner is left w/ the most votes) means that if you go last you have a much better chance of winning since you only have to beat 1 performer. But, it’s also not a super serious show, the ones that lose in the early rounds still get to go chat in the green room and it’s all just for a fun little trophy.
    Their 1st appearance, which they did I believe less than a year after their debut which is very rare for this show from what I can tell, was featuring legendary artist Patti Kim, a fascinating lady who came back to Korea to do this show after having retired from public life 10 years ago. She was super popular in the 60s and 70s, very much the diva of her time. Lots of awards and firsts to her name, like the first Korean artist to be invited to perform in Japan since independence, first to perform at the Sydney opera house, etc. She also had a very public divorce from her first husband but it was entirely amicable and they continued to work together since he was her main songwriter/producer, very unusual for the time. The song they chose to cover is Seoul’s Maternal Love, all about how great the city is and a popular one to play at events bc it’s easy to sing along to and has all that Seoul pride. XH actually picked it bc none of them are from Seoul but Seoul is where they all met and came together as a 2nd family for each other, which is just the sweetest. They didn’t win their round, but I think Patti really liked it and she called them adorable.
    2nd appearance was for the legendary artist Song Changsik. From what I could gather in the ep, he’s sort of a Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan singer-songwriter type figure in Korean music and the godfather of folk-rock in the 60s-70s. The song they picked was Why Do You Call Me, which iirc he wrote after overhearing a neighbor couple arguing. It was also apparently banned at one point, tho not even Changsik knows exactly why lol. I think this might be my favorite cover arrangement XH did for this show. The original is pretty simple, kind of melancholy, but they turned it into such a cool performance. For this one they actually won this round, which was super exciting bc the guy they beat had been on the red sofa for a few rounds already. But unfortunately they went 2nd to last and the final performer was Lee Mujin, who you might know from his youtube series Mujin Service, and he ended up winning the ep. Unfortunately Ode was out for this performance, one of his grandparents passed away right before taping so he was on a brief break to be with his family.
    3rd was XH’s most recent appearance and the ep was featuring Kim Kyungho, who is basically THE rock/metal vocalist of Korea. I’m no music expert, but if I had to pick a western parallel I’d say he’s kind of like if Ozzy Osborn had come to popularity in the 90s and never did drugs lol. He has a super unique tone and style that no one really even attempts to imitate. But despite all his wailing vocals he’s also known as a super soft, gentle person. People close to him affectionately call him unni, aka big sister, bc of his long hair and caring demeanor. XH even asked if they could call him unni and he said yes but he’d have to call them cute little brothers and I think Jooyeon about died of happiness lol. Kyungho is one of Jooyeon’s musical heroes so even though it meant they’d have to fly back from a concert in Manila the night before taping he demanded they do the show for this ep. Didn’t matter if they won or how tired they’d be for their next schedule, as long as he got to meet his hero. The song they covered is called Forbidden Love. I think it might be his most popular song? Don’t quote me on that. But from the ep I know it is a karaoke staple, and the kind of song that if you pick it then you must be a very confident singer bc it’s a reeeeeally hard song. I realize I’m extremely biased, but I really feel that they had the best performance this ep and I’m still baffled why they didn’t at least win their round. But Kyungho really liked it, so at least there’s that.

      ​​@@pratfallpratt8998 also wanna add about their recent appearance on that show with 'forbidden love' cover. unfortunately, everyone is biased. in the audience there were many fans of the musician who won that episode. yes, i also think their performance was outstanding and they should have won. don't want to devalue the finalist, he's also a very good musician, but it just sometimes decides the number of fans and popularity (my friend was at this pre-recording).

    I do get into some new groups and be like "ohh they're pretty good" and check out their other songs, shows or shorts but the stanning period only lasts like a month (at the most) and I'm back to XH and completely forget about the groups i once stanned 💀
    My ult group was Day6, stanning them for 3 years, but XH took over that spot with their Hello World album (the one which has Strawberry cake) and trust me, i thought no one would topple Day6 but here we are 😭

Welcome to the Black Parade, Tomboy, Drown, Ghost of You …etc. They have less opportunity to do covers as they are now in their 4th year, but a couple of month ago, Jungsu, JunHan and Jooyeon did a short cover of Don’t Look Back In Anger (oasis) for their socials.

    "immortal songs" is a television music competition program that airs on kbc. the show features a variety of talented singers and music performers who compete by singing classic and iconic songs from korean popular music history. - this is definition from the internet.
    but i wanna add that usually, one episode is dedicated to one artist (legend) of the last generation. participating musicians (solos, groups, bands) must cover any song by this artist. the artist to whom is dedicated this episode is also sitting among the judges. the musicians compete with each other and the audience also are judges.

    The forbidden love cover made me cry omg it was so powerful and UGHH idk its just my roman empire
    So for songs I def recommend Feeling Nice (if its possible, the montbest live clip cause its SO good), Love and Fear, Save Me, Undefined (Montbest live too cause its SO good, again), and No Matter
    For covers i totally think u should watch their tomboy cover (if u havent already in ur personal time)

  • @nacelesilva972
    @nacelesilva972 16 дней назад +1

    I don't know exactly but I think Immortal Songs is a competition where two artists do covers of the same artist (or maybe the same song? I don't know) and the original artist watches (maybe they can be judges too). And Xdinary Heroes has already won once with the cover of Why Do You Call Me! But this is just how i understand the show, i'm not really sure cause i never really watched it.

    • @malunecestmoi
      @malunecestmoi 16 дней назад +1

      not two artists. it's usually five or six different musicians (band, kpop group, solo etc), but they compete with each other in stages by voting from the audience. xdinary heroes never won an episode, but they won in a vote against another musician and advanced to the semifinals (?). lee mujin eventually won that episode.

    and i was interested if you want to explore xdinary heroes lore, because i love their lore so much, it's really creative and... deep and existential, in some ways. i really love to rewatch samplers, their m/v's, mood films and etc, so, i know what your deep dive in process now, and lore isn't very important thing to know, even for mature villains, but... i just love it so much and want to say that xh lore is a very cool thing, that i recommend to explore one day, if you want.

I think I prefer their live performances to their recorded versions - it’s like they go to a whole new level when they play live!!! Junhan may be my bias but the others are ALL bias wreckers - they are so freakin talented!
    They were my bias wrecker group. 😂 I thought Stray Kids, Woodz, The Rose and DPR Ian were cemented in as my top 4, but after discovering Xdinary Heroes in May, they managed to make it to number 3 in my Spotify wrapped for 2024 (with only half a year of knowing them!) and only Stray Kids and Woodz were ahead of them. This year I think they will push them out and take first place, especially since Woodz is doing his military service so is on hiatus
