I know that most of the vocal coaches out there always talk about Sohyang and her amazing vocal technique which is bar none but it was refreshing to hear you talk about the passion and the emotion she puts into her songs that's the part that gets me she hits me straight in the heart every time she is a gift from God lets enjoy her while we can!
Your comments about Sohyang surpassing (or at least settling in among) her vocal idols (Whitney, Mariah, Celine) was very apt. Because Sohyang is not commercially oriented (and she has great respect for the ladies she looked up to) people often sleep on how good she actually is. Like you said, her control is on a whole other level even from the three. The range of colours and dynamics and her flexibility and DAT MIX (her true superpower). She's also very adventurous with her vocals yet appropriate to the song, and like you perfectly expressed, her pain, joy, and desire to truly connect with the hearts of the audience carry across convincingly. Her version of Whitney's "I have nothing" is my definitive version, period, as much as I truly do love Whitney at her peak.
Finally! PS: Fun fact - she actually did one octave arpeggio to that Bb5 (Bb4-Bb5) and not to mention the D6/Eb6 head voice. Also, she admitted that this song is the hardest song she ever sung, the second being Bridge over Troubled Water.
another of her masterpieces... shows her full arsenal of weapons, and highlights her gospel roots and her ability to connect with the audience and tell the story. One of my favorites
The reference to Mariah Carey is for westerners that have no knowledge of Sohyang so helps to link the type of singer....it is not disrespectful to her.
It’s legit just because they both hit high notes. Reality is Sohyang is a belter/head voice master, and Mariah is whistles and stuff. They’re different and only compared really because they can hit high notes
ven without understanding the Korean section of the song, you could feel she possibly singing her story , her ups and downs, struggles, self-doubts before she arrived at her current state of being. You could feel through her expressions and hand movements. You could feel she's relating something personal to the audience in the talking section even without knowing what's she saying. Not knowing exactly what it's about yet could feel it's about one's life journey through the ups and downs of the tempo of the song. When a singer did this to you in a foreign language and still bring you on an emotional roller coaster, that shows how powerful the song and her vocals are.
Sohyang really is one of a kind. On par with Mariah or Whitney for sure, but distinctly herself. No one can touch her when it comes to mixed voice and head voice and her ability to arrange such moving songs and sing so beautifully so consistently even in the face of continual major health issues is literally incredible. She’s just an inspiring woman, an extraordinary vocalist, and a transcendently emotive performer.
But she does get tired, she just doesn't show it until afterwards lol, true professional. You should watch her post-performance on immortal songs. She catches her breath like crazy and once she was shaking and lightheaded. When she gives it 110% like on these shows she can probs do at most 2 or 3 songs. She's the best but still human :D
You hit the nail on the head at the end, I've never watched a Sohyang video without being filled with an immense joy and watching you have a similar reaction was very cool. Thank you Beth!
I enjoyed the reaction and analysis! It's always good to see someone who actually knows and appreciates the tons of discipline and repetitions/training someone must endure to reach Sohyang's level. Techniques and emotions, this performance is overflowing with them. Great video!
🤩😍 Thank you for Reacting to Queen so hyang. i love ur react. its true that shes among the top singers. but for me shes the best among them. especially shes a gospel singer. so hyang and David phelps are my Favorite gospel singers.. 👍🏻
Great to see you again. This time for Sohyang's Everyone. Appreciate your sharing of Sohyang's background in the video. It's not uncommon to see listeners fascinated or even overwhelmed when watching this stage, but you have the most adorable gesture in making your facial expression. Hope to see you return to visit her again.
What a amazing live with 7 minutes straight belting! Yes she is not Mariah Carey. She doesn't need the nickname of 'Mariah in Korea'. She is just So Hyang with every single perfect technique, stability in such a high note, full emotion and charisma on the stage. She is definitely one of the best singer in the world!!
" shes called The Korean Mariah Carey but i dont think mariah has that much Control" omg we all know So Hyang is a master of Control her ur voice Thank You Coach 💜
Agreed... Such an inspirational voice can't be found elsewhere. Sohyang is not just singing a song but telling a story by mixing different vocal tones and using unrestricted vocal notes with wide range. Every performance is a journey to a new amazing story. It's a God's blessing to all listeners. Best of the bests!!!
jay kay You are right. She's truly communicating the words, not just singing technically. Her fans know and feel this, and so does almost every vocal coach / trainer who gets to review her music.
Honestly she stands above all them in my opinion.. I always love your comments as you nail it with her every time. "What good is the technicality if you cant deliver the rest"... Well she always does..
Thank you for sharing additional info about her throughout for anyone who may just be getting introduced to So Hyang :) Love your articulate reactions and hope you have a nice day!
Sohyang did say that to be a very good singer, you do need a little talent. I remember her saying that when she first started, she will come back after singing and hear people saying that she hit some difficult high notes, which she wasn't even aware of. And of course, Sohyang is a perfectionist hence she practices very very hard.
Echolocation falsetto at 8:01 Ok, now seriously; this girl has a very solid voice, like listening a Stratocaster, she can do everything with her voice.
I love that you love and appreciate Sohyang as much as I do. And by the way, I think your hair is beautiful 🙂 I think that everytime I watch one of your videos!
I really appreciate your insight on some of the small details... It was a great experience to learn about a highly skilled singer. She's awesome. Thanks Beth!
You know, the only thing that I hope is that her health is always in a great condition. Her voice is like a national, no, a humanity's treasure that need to be protected and heard by all people around the world, so as to bring joy and happiness to mankind just like what she has always intended to do.
I agree. If I was a billionaire I would gladly pay for the best treatment and doctors for her. That's how much I love her singing. Her music is my therapy. She seem to get sick two or three times a year and i know it's taking a toll on her and the ability to perform.
Good to see your react to her. If I may suggest another, you should look into one of her good friends and vocal equivalent, Park Ki Young. She may not have quite as much belt control but she easily has a lot more versatility in styles. And her sustain is out of this world.

Funny that the young people are just amazed with sohyangs technique or how high she can go while those who had their shares of harships in life are genuinely touched and comforted by her intention.
I agree. Mariah wishes to have that control. Everyone wishes! When it comes to technique, you can't match her, I don't care who you are. You can try to argue with me; you cant! Objectively, she has everything figured out to the smallest detail and she does it flawlessly.
please react to Sohyang singing Easy On Me (outdoors under a huge bridge in 2023 with rain in the background). it was so effortless and seemingly almost impromptu -- her own youtube channel is the source so no filters needed
Love SoHyang........ Love Beth. When Beth reacts to SoHyang it's double yeah!!!!!! Now if we can get SoHyang to react to Beth reacting to SoHyang I might have a meltdown. HAHA
love it ! :) would love for you to react to some of her King of Mask performances, after 2 years of hearing every perforrmance for 100 times I slowly gravitated more to those songs. they are incredible
Hi I’m a huge fan of Sohyang and I really enjoyed your reaction video. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve put Korean subtitle on this video and submitted it and it seems like it is still ‘processing’ at the moment, not sure what it means as it does not show up on my end and this is my first time doing so xD.

So Hyang doesn’t need to be compared . She’s totally unique !
True!!! :-)))
I agree! She's one and only, such a unique voice!!
I am no vocal coach, but I have been around for 58 years, and to me, she is the best female VOCALIST on the planet.
Totally agree
such a great comment
I 100% agree
Thats true
Truth

Her version of Whitney's "I have nothing" is my definitive version, period, as much as I truly do love Whitney at her peak.
My favorite thing is watching vocal coaches re-evaluate their lives while listening to SoHyang.
The fact she is 40+ years old and sings this way. I will feel jealous of her family for having such an amazing human being near them.
Finally!
PS: Fun fact - she actually did one octave arpeggio to that Bb5 (Bb4-Bb5) and not to mention the D6/Eb6 head voice. Also, she admitted that this song is the hardest song she ever sung, the second being Bridge over Troubled Water.
another of her masterpieces... shows her full arsenal of weapons, and highlights her gospel roots and her ability to connect with the audience and tell the story. One of my favorites
This has to be one of the greatest vocal performances ever recorded. Amazing!
where are you - So HYang is the most emotional song of her. it's one of my favourite.
Gian Podesta for me its Never ending story
@@skyller7510 i just listen to that song, i was amazing too. Is there any normal performance of her? lol
Do yourself a favor and listen to all of her King of Mask Singer perfomances
Fate and I Loved You is my favorites from her 😍 esp Hug Me ugh thats just emotional explosion
yes, she is not korean mariah carey
She is just sohyang
I don't understand why people say sohyang is korean mariah
Ya. She is always sing a song in her own way. It's just amazing.
She is in different league and out of this world. Always touches my heart.
It was a nickname given to her by the Korean media during the I Am A Singer 2 competition.
The reference to Mariah Carey is for westerners that have no knowledge of Sohyang so helps to link the type of singer....it is not disrespectful to her.
@@DrunkDelilahBrewery she's better than Mariah in my book and I have 3 Mariah's albums.In her prime Mariah was close to Sohyang.
It’s legit just because they both hit high notes. Reality is Sohyang is a belter/head voice master, and Mariah is whistles and stuff. They’re different and only compared really because they can hit high notes
great reaction, your correct very few artists could do what she just did,20 yrs of hard work.
And she is such a good person too.

The Queen will never run out of reactions.
6000 and counting and that doesn't include hundreds of videos that has been taken down from copyright strikes.
That rising riff is absolutely incredible, but the way everything drops out and we just hear her voice is absolutely magical.

Skyler Powers u forgot about dynamic control and octave jump & note scale 🥰
Unlikd the other divas So Hyang's voice keeps improving at her age of 43 years young.
Sohyang is even more amazing because she sings without getting tired. 👍💕
But she does get tired, she just doesn't show it until afterwards lol, true professional. You should watch her post-performance on immortal songs. She catches her breath like crazy and once she was shaking and lightheaded. When she gives it 110% like on these shows she can probs do at most 2 or 3 songs. She's the best but still human :D

@@TheSeeking2know Yap we feel the same even though we describe her voice with different words 👍
Sohyang is best singer in planet
I was one of the biggest Mariah stans in the early 90s but Mariah wouldn’t be able to carry a song like this.
❤️❤️❤️Looove Sohyang!!!! Got such deep respect for her talent and her as a person ❤️❤️❤️
She's literally singing "I am your joy.... I am your eternal song" right while you're saying her intention is to bring joy :)
I really appreciate how you also have so much background information about Sohyang and of course musical knowledge. Great job!!!
Great analysis of this wonderful performance! Your words about her at the end are so touching. Thank you so much for making my morning.
Awwww what an incredible reaction video. So touching how you felt her and knew her. Thank you for this.
Honestly she stands above all them in my opinion.. I always love your comments as you nail it with her every time. "What good is the technicality if you cant deliver the rest"... Well she always does..
Hi ~ beth coach ♡
I'm satisfied with your broadcast.
thank you for letting SoHyang know the world ^-^
I always cheer !!
Thank you for sharing additional info about her throughout for anyone who may just be getting introduced to So Hyang :)
Love your articulate reactions and hope you have a nice day!
This is peak Sohyang vocal prowess. This is just insanity in a vocal scale.
Thank you, Beth. That was lovely, what you had to say about So-Hyang and this performance.
Great reaction!!! Agree with everything u said, but you left out one crucial point!
Sohyang is the most beautiful person in the world!!!!
Thanks!
yeah! She forever be the Queen in my heart!!!
Thank you for the reaction~
Yes, she is just Sohyang~^^
It's emotional song~
I like your reaction.

You should look for the subtitled version of this video, when she speaks she sends a very beautiful message to everyone that support her.
Loved this reaction!
Good to see your react to her. If I may suggest another, you should look into one of her good friends and vocal equivalent, Park Ki Young. She may not have quite as much belt control but she easily has a lot more versatility in styles. And her sustain is out of this world.
