To think JYP rejected Yuju's singing when she was younger to know hearing you talk about how much you love her voice. Little did everyone know she would become this good.
@@albertdo6194 she probably wouldn’t have even done that. She already had an established technique when she went on the show and sang like a trained vocalist
Im really shock when others says that her voice was not that impressive during that time when compared to other who auditions she sound one of the best in terms of vocal
@@YEOUN_channel Sometimes Yerin is better, sometimes SinB is better. They fit different music, songs and keys. Both of them are uncomparable, they are literally similar.(and both sinb and yerin shows support and it doesn’t matter the placement :))
Technically sinb is better than yerin. Wider range doesnt equal better. Sinb shows better support agility and control than yerin so sinb is objectively the better singer.
Yerin is a good singer but i think she still lacks confidence in her abilities. Her voice is kinda similiar with yuju but yuju has more power than yerin. I hope Yerin can improve her vocal skills more and has more confidence. She can do highnotes very well and her voice so stable
@@Joy-qe6lb I think she gets less lines because she's less developed. and part of that is confidence, Yerin doubts herself a lot when it comes to her voice. Still, I truly believe that if all of Gfriend had 100% confidence in themselves like they should they could take over the world.
i think most people tend to forget that Gfriend dances solid choreography but still gives a solid vocals. very rare for kpop groups nowadays where visuals and popularity is more impt. i really love the ballads of Gfriend where they tend to sing in a more natural sound. also, main dancer SinB is really a good vocalist. Yerin, I like her more nowadays due to her huge vocal improvement. Umji, my bias, adds a color tone in Gfriend sound. Sowon definitely improved a lot especially on tones and stability. I'm not mentioning Eunha and Yuju because we all know that they are really solid for GFriend's vocal lines. Overall, as a group, GFriend can be easily placed on top kpop groups with very good vocals, aside from the dance/choreo groups. which is something to be proud of!
Yuju has the range and the power but I think Eunha has the tone and the emotions. Despite them having very similar vocal textures though, each member brings something different to the table. Very insightful video, thank you.
About the confidence-issue of yuju you mentioned, I think you're talking about after tftmn where she took rest (from flu?) her voice in sunrise seemed less powerful than it used to. personally I disagree with those who say yuju damaged her voice. I feel like it's more of her realising she can't keep belting out so many high notes bc it can get tiring so she's trying out different styles or methods to keep improving. she might sound more strained?(im not sure tbh im just a regular fan) in highnotes but richer? in other aspects of her voice but it's good to see her develop her voice more especially with the talent she has
You’re right! As a Buddy and a vocal theory enthusiast, I can tell YuJu’s “regression” was not actually a regression. Although she lost her consistent support (before all of these things, she used to support consistently on her C#5, now it’s occasionally), she worked pretty well her lower register. She improved A LOT there, and I was pretty shocked when I watched her recent OST “Secret”, with all of those F#3 sung as nothing special, which is a thing coming from a light soprano as YuJu is. I really think her voice is just tired and that’s why she is not belting as powerfully as she used to do before, BUT she is more consistent now. What I do think is something happened in 2018-2019, related to her mental health. And you can prove it just seeing how much weight she lost, when her company NEVER put her on a diet. She lost her confidence, even doubting about introduce herself as GFriend’s main vocalist. That’s why the girls are always cheering for her and trying to get back that confidence she used to have back in her rookie days. Fortunately, she is doing well. In the same OST I mentioned before, she did pretty well with high notes (there were some crazy belted F#5). I just want to think she is overcoming all the difficult things she had to go through. Sorry for the long text, I just love YuJu a lot djdkdj:( And excuse my bad English, please!
I pretty much agree with this. I can see why Yerin and SinB are interchangeable, I guess for some it depends on your opinion etc SinB was actually due to be lead vocal until Eunha joined the lineup to debut Sowon trained as a rapper until joining Gfriend’s company, Umji got casted on the street, SinB trained as a dancer from a young age, Eunha left being a trainee for a while due to her health It’s impressive how their vocals are so good especially for a very much performance based group but never forget their sit down ballad songs :) I think a lot of these girls have improved a lot and that’s almost bound to happen as you go through this career! I’m so proud of them especially Sowon, they have definitely became a lot more confident in themselves and I’m so glad. They’ve got a comeback coming on November 9th so it’ll be nice to see what they have in store! I actually remember going through and watching your videos a while ago now and I found your channel again after so long :) Thank you for this!
*my opinions* *sowon* - she had great improvement. I do agree, she lacked some musicality and it was noticeable in her cover of 'some'. I loved hearing her cover the other member's lines, it suit with her voice! Her voice seems quite nasally and sweet, I think her voice suits with rap more but it's good to develop good singing. And it's refreshing to hear someone say that she isn't a weak singer. *umji* - so soothing! I love hearing her voice in soft, sweet and calm songs. She's been doing highnotes as well lately, her expanded note in rough ballad ver, surprised me a lot! I can't see her belting powerfully, but she's definitely someone who can capture emotions and sweetness. *sinb* - definitely her and yerin's place changes. Sinb's voice seems versatile and sweet. Sometimes the notes she is given, is too high and is noticeable in her recent ost and performance in king of the masked singer. She's a great singer for a main dancer. *yerin* - I would love to see more of her skills. I think she has potential to be a powerful vocalist if she is given time and training. Yerin and Sinb should have more confidence in their singing! Both yerin and sinb could develop more emotions when singing :) *eunha* - her performances always has so much emotions and she works hard to hit every high note. I personally don't think she has the best and healthy technique right now, but when she develops a more healthy technique, I believe she can be a top vocalist too. Her voice is versatile and I wish to hear more of her deep voice/range. *yuju* - I know there was lot of arguments surrounding her abilities lately. I was honestly very worried for her vocals, mental and physical health during the end of 2018 and onwards. I believe she is recovering. Compared to earlier, she has improved in different eras for such, emotions and her deep register. I think she is taking a break from belting highnotes all the time, since it became her brand and ultimately, pressuring. Whether they are a vocal powerhouse group or not, they are consistently stable throughout their career. I believe sunrise, apple and mago were hard songs to sing, so I know not all their lives performances are perfect. They are all decent or above singers, have areas of excellence and areas to improve.
i have been looking forward to this for so long, Yuju is absolutely mind blowing and one of my all time favorites, all of Gfriend is such a nice vocal group tysm for making this!
and yes, Yuju went through a regression during 2017-2019 due to being overused vocally and was sick for some part of that as well. she is bouncing back better tho, her belts are regaining the old spark, especially C5 and C♯5
As a suggestion -- maybe you could have a video about female soloists? You could include IU, Hyorin (formerly of Sistar, a QUEEN of vocals), Sunmi (formerly of Wonder Girls), Hyuna (formerly of 4Minute), Ailee, Saay, Chungha (formerly of IOI), Somi (formerly of IOI), BoA, I know I'm forgetting a lot of people but those popped to my mind. But especially Hyorin and Ailee.
Exactly like sunmi, hyuna or chungha i think no need to analyze bcs we know these girls better in performance better than vocal. So if want, i think soloist like TaeYeon, Hyorin, Ailee, or Yeonji. So we can know about technique
Kinda expected Yuju to be first. One of the best of her generation. Also can I request for you to do NCT/WayV ranking? Even with just their vocal line atleast. Thank youu.
Missed ur videos, rlly liked this video, I suggest you to rank Apink’s singers, the main vocalist Eunji, is like best vocalist in kpop industry. I also suggest u cravity. I also wanted to ask u when are u going to make again bts vocal ranking
Thank you so much for reacting to Gfriend and welcome back!! I'm really glad that you complimented Sowon and Umji's vocals. If you know anything about Gfriend then you know that both of them, especially Umji, got a bunch of hate for being "useless" members. It really made no sense to me, but even Sowon explained a bit about why her voice wasn't as developed (I don't know if that would be the right word). Sowon's leader of the group and once she said that she was so focused on doing her best with that position that she wasn't able to practice singing and dancing as much as the other members so she sort of fell behind. But both of them have seemed to gain tremendous confidence and I'm so glad to see it. I can't wait for the NCT ranking and I'm also excited for the girl groups you'll do after that! (I would suggest LOONA or Oh My Girl)
I also think that Yerin's bit better than SinB and her voice can blend so well with Yuju 💛💛 She can be cute, soft, emotional and powerful at the same time 😎
Of course Yuju is #1 haha. Would agree though with her high notes. Sometime in November 2018 she took an unexplained break from activities in the group before returning and since then her high notes don't feel as resonant as before so now Eunha shares the high notes with her for tracks. Some say it could've vocal fatigue from all their previous title tracks having huge long high notes being promoted for a long time but we're really not sure what's happened. But it's great that's she recently focused on the lower end of her voice with her covers.
This ranking was great!!! I’m happy to have you back! I really like the way you describe everyone’s voices and how respectful you are. There are so many people who are so rude just because they don’t like a group’s music or a certain idol’s vocal tone. Thank you for your opinion and thank you for sharing your singing knowledge!!
@@JuliaTDI23 Don't forget Umji has better consistency than sinb in her range... I wouldn't say Sinb is better than yerin because she isn't that much consistent lol...techniues wise....Sinb is good but Yerin get lines that are hard or need more technique...Yerin also gets a lots of bridges...Not to mention Yerin can low note and highnote in her normal voice...which others can't do not even yuju. Also yerin has better emotional projection second to Eunha,lol. Lastly Yerin highnotes is a lot better than sinb's lol... It's just my opinion but everyone nowadays think like that too ..coz maybe IT IS. Ps: (Yerin still has a lot potential left)
@@HeavenTheWorld70hjs your opinion is clearly biased. you obviously do not know anything about sinb's vocal techniques. I suggest if u want to state an opinion, look on both sides. you just invalidated sinb's ability to be consistent, sing high and low notes, and have harder parts in a song because you're busy overrating your bias in a biased opinion. lol. not to mention, also discredited eunha's ability to project emotion in a song, and yuju's ability to sing high and low notes in a normal voice which is obviously ridiculous. do not bring other people here because clearly, you're the only one here that thinks like that. lol
As someone who has followed GFRIEND for a long time and having them as my favorite out of the 6383738 groups I stan, this really helped me get to know their vocal abilities more. As someone who's really into vocals in Kpop groups, this really made me appreciate their vocals more. I'm a bit (a lot) biased to Umji and she's definitely one of my favorite voices in the world, while i would put her higher, i dont know anything about technicalities 😂😂 I am also soo proud of Sowon and her improvement. I noticed she used to have a tuning problem but she's doing so well right now, getting more challenging lines and slaying those lines!!! Yuju ofc, one of the best vocalists in kpop!!! She definitely has such a big role in creating the gfriend sound. I genuinely love their voices so much and im so happy I stan them and listen to them. Aaahhhh this one makes me so happy. I've been waiting for this video ever since I first watched your channel and finally you did it!!!!! Thank you so much ❤️ A question though, what do you think about Umji's high notes in Apple, is it belting (like Eunha and Yuju, since they got similar parts) or a falsetto? ALSO they dont actually have rapper positions idk why some pages write that :( so aside from the official positions main vocal Yuju and lead vocal Eunha, the rest are vocalists!
We've missed you! And YES someone who acknowledge Yerin's talent! Her voice reminds me of Yuju by the way Please consider ranking Loona or NCT OT21 although it would take some time ❤️
Yeah I agree I think technique wise yuri and yuju are the best vocalist in their groups but in terms of emotions they put into their songs I would say I feel more from chaewon and eunha. Yuri x chaewon and yuju x eunha voices compliment really well, eunha and chaewon's sweeter softer voices goes well with yuju and yuri's more powerful, stronger voices.
If you are looking for soloists, I highly recommend you Luna from f(x) (especially her performances in Immortal song) , Suhyun from AKMU. I think they are underrated voices and I have never found a video that analyzes their thecnique or even mentions them.
That one moment when Yuju resonated an open F5. It was the only recorded time and it was a treat! The only problem is as she goes upper than E5 she used to make it very heavy and pushy. But recently she went for a lighter mix.
Someone say that Yerin isn't good at singing or doesn't have good technics and so on...but I want to say Maybe she seems gets little lines(that's a point that I am always disappointed to the company(or the arrangement teacher?)) But if you listen more carefully , she usually gets the line that needs much technics and always hard to sing and handle. Besides,her voice can be cute,soft but also shows thick and powerful.(her high note is close to Yuju's voice) And I think her voice is unique and iconic among the k-pop idols,I really love it
I’m so happy you’re back! That NCT vocal ranking is quite a challenge, but I’m excited to see it (maybe when you hit 100k you can make another ranking and include however many members they add until then😂). I would really love it if you did rankings for Block B and B.A.P (B.A.P’s main vocal has such a unique voice in my opinion, and I need someone to explain it). Both groups are from the same age as Infinite, VIXX and Nu’est, which you seemed to like a lot, so I thought you might enjoy them too.
@@butterflysdaydream2944 Oh 😅 I was talking about gugudan there, but for loona since they don’t have official positions Yves or Kim Lip would probably be like 3rd main vocalist, but orbits just refer to Chuu and Haseul as the main vocals most of the time
Okay so I had a dream that Sam uploaded a loona ranking (like I imagined the thumbnail and everything) and when I woke up I was very confused cos the loona ranking had just disappeared and then I realised it was a dream. Okay there's my story, good to see you back Sam 😊
A suggestion for the next (few) group(s) you do: Sistar (Hyolyn... I’m in love with her voice) Gugudan Spica LOONA In case no one has noticed, I’m mostly a girl group stan lol
Hyolyn is hella talented. I don't even like her for some reasons ( but probably it's just me that believe in everything that I read in internet ) but the girl can sing, can dance, can rap AND AS FAR I KNOW she is the owner of the own agency. Like, how----- Btw yess Loona vocal ranking!!
I think SinB is 3rd, she has enough technique and pretty good falsetto. Yerin improved a lot, and her voice just power as like as Yuju. 3rd is SinB/Yerin
WELCOME BACK KING OF VOCAL RANKING! 👑 hope youre doing well!!! Hoping for a LOONA😍 ranking next🙏🙏🙏 they have alot of strong vocalists and really good music! If you need help finding footage, there are some youtube channels that have posted alot of live footage that you could use, and ofc mr removed videos. One member is a TRAINED OPERA SINGER!!!
Apparently among kpop fans there is a fight to decide who is better vocalist: Yuju or Wendy from Red Velvet. Who do you think it is? I personally think Yuju is the best at high notes, but overall Wendy is a bit better.
I'd say Wendy is better. She has better lower register, agility, head voice, chest voice, stronger connection to support, technique and resonance ( Actually Yuju used to have better resonance but then it declined and nowdays Wendy is better at resonance ).
As much as i pretty much knew how this rank would go, i love hearing your analysis about each member. Gfriend is indeed a very wonderful vocaly-oriented idol group, and yuju is just exceptional.
Thank you for doing GFriend! Could you perhaps do a ranking of Lovelyz one day? They're also a great vocal group and I would love to hear your opinion on them :)
I'd love to see you do a video that lets us see some comparison between groups and how you think they stack up to each other! It would be really cool to see a ranking of your top 10 picks for best male and female vocalist, or something like that! Love your videos :)
Welcome back! I know you’re trying to catch up on girl groups but before you take a break from this series it would be amazing if you could try to squeeze in sf9. They have some really good vocalists and there are like no vocal rankings for them on line (none at all I could find with any sort of analysis). If you need clips for the rappers, I have some and I’m sure there are other Fantasies who do as well. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
I just found your channel and im OBSESSED. Could you do a LOONA analysis? I feel like they are a vocal powerhouse group but I would love to hear your opinion ❤
If you could please more mention about the support and Resonance it'd be more informative just suggesting 🙈 Also i think yuju has been declining in terms of support... she's been straining alot And one more,could i please know what ur defn of Resonance is And one last thing 😂 Which girl group do you think has the best vocal line from the groups you have analyzed,just asking because i saw someone asking who's better btwn Yuju and Wendy so i randomly asked this out of my curiosity
I’d put SinB and Yerin above Eunha in that order honestly. Eunha has no sense of support, even to this day, while SinB and Yerin, although weak, shallow and inconsistent, have Bb3/B3~G4/G#4 for their supported ranges. not to mention SinB especially, has a much more relaxed and neutral larynx compared to Eunha, while also showcasing a slightly better agility and a bit more control than Yerin. however, Yerin’s projection and sense of dynamics stomps the other two.
Have you read about their disbandment? Because that really hurts me a lot! I know there was a scandal but I feel like they didn’t deserve to be disbanded! They have a lot of years ahead of them and they will only get better!
Im interested in you ranking all #1 /maybe #2 singers you ranked in one video, if you have time for it and its "easy" ,because im interested to see Main Vocalists / maybe some lead vocalists , ranked
Welcome back, love your ranking videos. Could you do 5 membered TVXQ/JYJ? They were incredible even now, but were incredible when they were together. Love your work!
About Yuju and hightnotes - many fans belive that she damaged her voice during TFTMN promotions ( this song high note is nasty) and the group was performing as 5 for a while, and the next comeback "Sunrise" the one with hight note is already Eunha.
@@richter4446 she might not even be able to get back to the way she used to be. I also hope Eunha can properly support tho, she strains almost every belt notes she does
@@chocolatemilk7547 Feeling that way too, even though she's getting better sometimes it feels like she's pushing her notes up like in Apple with the chorus. A little scared for Eunha tbh because she does have some support but not all time
@@richter4446 and if she were to continue that, she'll end up like Yuju and then all of the high notes will be given to SinB and she also doesn't support completely
Great video, please do izone, 7 of them are good vocalist especially yuri, izone is one of the only 4gen groups who have good vocalist and they're gonna disband soon so please try to do it if you can ;)
I really want to know what he says about yuri's voice because her voice is so amazing I really hope to hear more from her after izone disbands. Unpopular opinion: I know a lot think chuu is the best 4th gen vocalist but I think yuri may be a bit better than her. That being said I feel more from chuu's singing than yuri's
@@purpleeyebrows19 yuri is better than chuu, i'm not a vocal coach but i've seen a lot of vocal videos and yuri support is better than chuu's. First yechan (pink fantasy) then Yuri, jungwoo from bvndit then maybe bora (cherry bullet), denise (secret number) or lia (itzy) and then chuu and miyeon (gidle), but i'm not sure ;)
@@sanspurple5621 Isnt Chuu better than Lia, or at least on the same level as her? Tho, I agree that Yuri is better than Chuu, and I'm honored that you mentioned Jungwoo and Denise.
I’d love if you could do one for izone, their vocal line is pretty good so I’d love to see your ranking as everyone seems to vary a lot Love your videos btw :)
my bias is yerin but i kinda underestimate her, but in 2020 she really improved a lot. Her live singing is one of the best and she's the most stable along with yuju. I'm agree she's in 3rd place, lil better than sinb. 2019-2020 is most noticeable
i really appreciate how you go into such detail with each of your vocal rankings for each and every member!! could you consider doing an iz*one vocal ranking by the way?
In the terms of vocal technique 1. Yuju 2. Eunha 3. SinB 4. Yerin 5. Umji 6. Sowon In the terms of vocal power 1. Yuju 2. Eunha 3. Yerin 4. SinB 5. Umji 6. Sowon In the terms of vocal range 1.

Sowon, Eunha, SinB My favorite vocal colour 1. Yuju 2. Umji 3. Yerin 4. Eunha 5. SinB 6. Sowon
How is umji so up in vocal range...???? She has one of the lowest vocal range...can you show me from where you based your opinion? Eunha has more vocal range Yerin is my bias
@@HeavenTheWorld70hjs maybe the apple high note and some g5 falestto in the song in the sirens plus the low note e3 in the love spell but i actually dont either.

@@YEOUN_channel Plus, SinB is more consistent.

I´d suggest EXID cause literally noone is talking about those vocal queens
As a suggestion -- maybe you could have a video about female soloists? You could include IU, Hyorin (formerly of Sistar, a QUEEN of vocals), Sunmi (formerly of Wonder Girls), Hyuna (formerly of 4Minute), Ailee, Saay, Chungha (formerly of IOI), Somi (formerly of IOI), BoA, I know I'm forgetting a lot of people but those popped to my mind. But especially Hyorin and Ailee.
Exactly like sunmi, hyuna or chungha i think no need to analyze bcs we know these girls better in performance better than vocal. So if want, i think soloist like TaeYeon, Hyorin, Ailee, or Yeonji. So we can know about technique
Kinda expected Yuju to be first. One of the best of her generation.
Also can I request for you to do NCT/WayV ranking? Even with just their vocal line atleast. Thank youu.
Missed ur videos, rlly liked this video, I suggest you to rank Apink’s singers, the main vocalist Eunji, is like best vocalist in kpop industry. I also suggest u cravity. I also wanted to ask u when are u going to make again bts vocal ranking
"in any other group they'd be main/lead vocal" the return of a classic
Thank you so much for reacting to Gfriend and welcome back!! I'm really glad that you complimented Sowon and Umji's vocals. If you know anything about Gfriend then you know that both of them, especially Umji, got a bunch of hate for being "useless" members. It really made no sense to me, but even Sowon explained a bit about why her voice wasn't as developed (I don't know if that would be the right word). Sowon's leader of the group and once she said that she was so focused on doing her best with that position that she wasn't able to practice singing and dancing as much as the other members so she sort of fell behind. But both of them have seemed to gain tremendous confidence and I'm so glad to see it. I can't wait for the NCT ranking and I'm also excited for the girl groups you'll do after that! (I would suggest LOONA or Oh My Girl)
I also think that Yerin's bit better than SinB and her voice can blend so well with Yuju 💛💛
She can be cute, soft, emotional and powerful at the same time 😎
Of course Yuju is #1 haha. Would agree though with her high notes. Sometime in November 2018 she took an unexplained break from activities in the group before returning and since then her high notes don't feel as resonant as before so now Eunha shares the high notes with her for tracks. Some say it could've vocal fatigue from all their previous title tracks having huge long high notes being promoted for a long time but we're really not sure what's happened. But it's great that's she recently focused on the lower end of her voice with her covers.
This ranking was great!!! I’m happy to have you back! I really like the way you describe everyone’s voices and how respectful you are. There are so many people who are so rude just because they don’t like a group’s music or a certain idol’s vocal tone. Thank you for your opinion and thank you for sharing your singing knowledge!!
The fact that we all know that the ranking would be:
1.Yuju
2.Eunha
3........
4........
5.Umji
6.Sowon
We just don't know who is third
OMG so trueeee😂
That's right we can't decide which one placed for number 3/4
It's SinB, she shows better placement and consistency than Yerin.
@@JuliaTDI23 Don't forget Umji has better consistency than sinb in her range...
I wouldn't say Sinb is better than yerin because she isn't that much consistent lol...techniues wise....Sinb is good but Yerin get lines that are hard or need more technique...Yerin also gets a lots of bridges...Not to mention Yerin can low note and highnote in her normal voice...which others can't do not even yuju.
Also yerin has better emotional projection second to Eunha,lol.
Lastly Yerin highnotes is a lot better than sinb's lol...
It's just my opinion but everyone nowadays think like that too ..coz maybe IT IS.
Ps: (Yerin still has a lot potential left)
@@HeavenTheWorld70hjs your opinion is clearly biased. you obviously do not know anything about sinb's vocal techniques. I suggest if u want to state an opinion, look on both sides. you just invalidated sinb's ability to be consistent, sing high and low notes, and have harder parts in a song because you're busy overrating your bias in a biased opinion. lol. not to mention, also discredited eunha's ability to project emotion in a song, and yuju's ability to sing high and low notes in a normal voice which is obviously ridiculous. do not bring other people here because clearly, you're the only one here that thinks like that. lol
As someone who has followed GFRIEND for a long time and having them as my favorite out of the 6383738 groups I stan, this really helped me get to know their vocal abilities more. As someone who's really into vocals in Kpop groups, this really made me appreciate their vocals more. I'm a bit (a lot) biased to Umji and she's definitely one of my favorite voices in the world, while i would put her higher, i dont know anything about technicalities 😂😂 I am also soo proud of Sowon and her improvement. I noticed she used to have a tuning problem but she's doing so well right now, getting more challenging lines and slaying those lines!!! Yuju ofc, one of the best vocalists in kpop!!! She definitely has such a big role in creating the gfriend sound. I genuinely love their voices so much and im so happy I stan them and listen to them. Aaahhhh this one makes me so happy. I've been waiting for this video ever since I first watched your channel and finally you did it!!!!! Thank you so much ❤️
A question though, what do you think about Umji's high notes in Apple, is it belting (like Eunha and Yuju, since they got similar parts) or a falsetto?
ALSO they dont actually have rapper positions idk why some pages write that :( so aside from the official positions main vocal Yuju and lead vocal Eunha, the rest are vocalists!
We've missed you!
And YES someone who acknowledge Yerin's talent! Her voice reminds me of Yuju by the way
Please consider ranking Loona or NCT OT21 although it would take some time ❤️
Yuju is an amazing vocalist, but i feel like she lacks emotion. Kinda like Yuri from Iz*One.
Yeah I agree I think technique wise yuri and yuju are the best vocalist in their groups but in terms of emotions they put into their songs I would say I feel more from chaewon and eunha. Yuri x chaewon and yuju x eunha voices compliment really well, eunha and chaewon's sweeter softer voices goes well with yuju and yuri's more powerful, stronger voices.
I agree thats really the only thing Yuju lacks but now I feel like she has changed her technique and starting to sing with more emotion
@@ednamodee again same, however it might just be me but I think for a while during 2019 up until recently yuju had trouble with her voice.
Fun fact: I'm hearing a Yuri's vocal compilation while read your comment.
@@JuliaTDI23 lol
Yay a new ranking! I get so happy when I fully agree with it lol. Yerin has my favorite voice in the group, it’s so underrated and versatile.
Prob the most predictable ranking xD yerin deff impressed me ever since she covered yujus high note
They all improved so much !
If you are looking for soloists, I highly recommend you Luna from f(x) (especially her performances in Immortal song) , Suhyun from AKMU.
I think they are underrated voices and I have never found a video that analyzes their thecnique or even mentions them.
That one moment when Yuju resonated an open F5. It was the only recorded time and it was a treat!
The only problem is as she goes upper than E5 she used to make it very heavy and pushy. But recently she went for a lighter mix.
Someone say that Yerin isn't good at singing or doesn't have good technics and so on...but I want to say
Maybe she seems gets little lines(that's a point that I am always disappointed to the company(or the arrangement teacher?))
But if you listen more carefully , she usually gets the line that needs much technics and always hard to sing and handle.
Besides,her voice can be cute,soft but also shows thick and powerful.(her high note is close to Yuju's voice)
And I think her voice is unique and iconic among the k-pop idols,I really love it
Well that's in the past. Most, if not all of their recent songs (post Fever) have all the members guaranteed almost 20 seconds of lines or more.
I'm curious what you think about Izone's ranking, hehe
But for gfriend, my favourite vocals are Umji and Eunha 💜
I’m so happy you’re back! That NCT vocal ranking is quite a challenge, but I’m excited to see it (maybe when you hit 100k you can make another ranking and include however many members they add until then😂).
I would really love it if you did rankings for Block B and B.A.P (B.A.P’s main vocal has such a unique voice in my opinion, and I need someone to explain it). Both groups are from the same age as Infinite, VIXX and Nu’est, which you seemed to like a lot, so I thought you might enjoy them too.
A possible suggestion since you mentioned Yuju. Can you potentially look at Gugudan, their main is good as hell.....or loona whichever one is easier
Yes, Gugudan! :)
Maybe he should wait for loona to comeback with their second main vocalist haseul
They actually have 3 mains and all of them are amazing!!
@@luckittypinkcat which one is the 3rd? Im a new orbit🥰. Is it perhaps Yves?
@@butterflysdaydream2944 Oh 😅 I was talking about gugudan there, but for loona since they don’t have official positions Yves or Kim Lip would probably be like 3rd main vocalist, but orbits just refer to Chuu and Haseul as the main vocals most of the time
Yuju is something else, amazing, im in luv with her voice
PLS DO IZONE 🥺🥺🥺
LOOΠ∆, Oh My Girl, and WJSN, please? 👉🏿👈🏿
I love it when other people love Gfriend.
The group is talented.
Okay so I had a dream that Sam uploaded a loona ranking (like I imagined the thumbnail and everything) and when I woke up I was very confused cos the loona ranking had just disappeared and then I realised it was a dream.
Okay there's my story, good to see you back Sam 😊
A suggestion for the next (few) group(s) you do:
Sistar (Hyolyn... I’m in love with her voice)
Gugudan
Spica
LOONA
In case no one has noticed, I’m mostly a girl group stan lol
Hyolyn is hella talented. I don't even like her for some reasons ( but probably it's just me that believe in everything that I read in internet ) but the girl can sing, can dance, can rap AND AS FAR I KNOW she is the owner of the own agency. Like, how-----
Btw yess Loona vocal ranking!!
I think SinB is 3rd, she has enough technique and pretty good falsetto. Yerin improved a lot, and her voice just power as like as Yuju.
3rd is SinB/Yerin
Thanks Sam, great analysis. Btw, SF9 is an amazing group. They have very beautiful and powerful voices, please check them out!
PRAYING for LOONA and maybe IOI
Yess, I just got into loona and I'd love to see a ranking
Yes, id love to see how he evaluate Haseul is an OPERA SINGER, and Chuu who is a Powerful Belting Queen
stop I miss IOI so much 😭😭 I would love to see a ranking though
@@felinekinglino5893 Haseul is an opera hobbyist, not an actual opera singer, but she's def still one of their best singers
WELCOME BACK KING OF VOCAL RANKING! 👑 hope youre doing well!!! Hoping for a LOONA😍 ranking next🙏🙏🙏 they have alot of strong vocalists and really good music! If you need help finding footage, there are some youtube channels that have posted alot of live footage that you could use, and ofc mr removed videos. One member is a TRAINED OPERA SINGER!!!
You should ranking the main vocalist of each big girls group, it would be interesting!!!
Ahh this is perfect timing since gfriend is coming back on nov 9. Thanks for this vid!!
yayy i’m glad your back !! take all the time you need to rest when you need to !
missed your uploads!! your vids got me through the first quarantine!!
Really 👉👈
Apparently among kpop fans there is a fight to decide who is better vocalist: Yuju or Wendy from Red Velvet. Who do you think it is? I personally think Yuju is the best at high notes, but overall Wendy is a bit better.
Wendy is defenitly better overall, she's developed in every register
Hmmmmmm. I'd say Yuju has a more impressive upper mixed belt. But Wendy is probably the most complete vocalist.
I'd say Wendy is better. She has better lower register, agility, head voice, chest voice, stronger connection to support, technique and resonance ( Actually Yuju used to have better resonance but then it declined and nowdays Wendy is better at resonance ).
Wendy is better of course
Eunji is better than them both
Welcome back Sam!!! Really cool to see a video of yours after a while
As much as i pretty much knew how this rank would go, i love hearing your analysis about each member. Gfriend is indeed a very wonderful vocaly-oriented idol group, and yuju is just exceptional.
thank you so much for making this! I’m glad to see that your videos are back :)
Pretends to be shocked at no 1
Day idk of asking for a loona ranking, or izone idk whatever is easier
Can you please do IZ*ONE next ☺️
despiteof their great vocals,their also known for having a knife and synch choreography. it was hard to do at the same time but still they managed.
Thank you for doing GFriend! Could you perhaps do a ranking of Lovelyz one day? They're also a great vocal group and I would love to hear your opinion on them :)
I'd love to see you do a video that lets us see some comparison between groups and how you think they stack up to each other! It would be really cool to see a ranking of your top 10 picks for best male and female vocalist, or something like that! Love your videos :)
I'm so glad you're back!!
glad to see you back !!! really missed your videos but i’m glad you took the time you needed :^)
I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I only subbed to you today. Your reaction to Yuju's voice made me laugh, she truly is amazing.
Apink vocal ranking we all know enji would be number 1 and namjoo bomi 2nd or 3rd place
Welcome back! I know you’re trying to catch up on girl groups but before you take a break from this series it would be amazing if you could try to squeeze in sf9. They have some really good vocalists and there are like no vocal rankings for them on line (none at all I could find with any sort of analysis). If you need clips for the rappers, I have some and I’m sure there are other Fantasies who do as well. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
I just found your channel and im OBSESSED. Could you do a LOONA analysis? I feel like they are a vocal powerhouse group but I would love to hear your opinion ❤

After know Gfriend yuju's I think is The BEST voice of all The kpop . Is only My opinion
Waiting for the day you gonna do a Vocal Ranking to Apink.
pls im baggin😣🙏
yo the king is back!
i am so happy that you are back
Let's goooooooo Sam is back, makes me so happy to see you again :)
Yay! So excited you’re back! 💛
Thank you very much ❤️ I hope after Gfriend ranking vocal, f(x) or Loona ranking vocal 🙏🏻
If you could please more mention about the support and Resonance it'd be more informative just suggesting 🙈
Also i think yuju has been declining in terms of support... she's been straining alot
And one more,could i please know what ur defn of Resonance is
And one last thing 😂
Which girl group do you think has the best vocal line from the groups you have analyzed,just asking because i saw someone asking who's better btwn Yuju and Wendy so i randomly asked this out of my curiosity
I’d put SinB and Yerin above Eunha in that order honestly. Eunha has no sense of support, even to this day, while SinB and Yerin, although weak, shallow and inconsistent, have Bb3/B3~G4/G#4 for their supported ranges.
not to mention SinB especially, has a much more relaxed and neutral larynx compared to Eunha, while also showcasing a slightly better agility and a bit more control than Yerin. however, Yerin’s projection and sense of dynamics stomps the other two.
Please check out IZ*ONE next time if you have time. More than half of the members are amazing vocalists and the rest have huge vocal potentials
Have you read about their disbandment? Because that really hurts me a lot! I know there was a scandal but I feel like they didn’t deserve to be disbanded! They have a lot of years ahead of them and they will only get better!
@@ghjn5640 i'm a WIZ*ONE so
@@vangoghsnight4268 I know I am very late but do you want to support Sammy even more? We haven't seen a new video from him for more than a year.
Im interested in you ranking all #1 /maybe #2 singers you ranked in one video, if you have time for it and its "easy" ,because im interested to see Main Vocalists / maybe some lead vocalists , ranked
Welcome back, love your ranking videos. Could you do 5 membered TVXQ/JYJ? They were incredible even now, but were incredible when they were together. Love your work!
PLSSSS DO IZ*ONEEEEEE❤ BTW ILOVE GFRIEND
also crying in bg stan but it's okay, your videos are awesome!
About Yuju and hightnotes - many fans belive that she damaged her voice during TFTMN promotions ( this song high note is nasty) and the group was performing as 5 for a while, and the next comeback "Sunrise" the one with hight note is already Eunha.
Source Music almost destroyed Yuju's voice. I hope Source Music won't let her do those mix belt notes once she is done recovering
yeah, glad they're splitting the high notes now. Yuju still doesn't sound as good as she used to but slowly getting better
@@richter4446 she might not even be able to get back to the way she used to be. I also hope Eunha can properly support tho, she strains almost every belt notes she does
@@chocolatemilk7547 Feeling that way too, even though she's getting better sometimes it feels like she's pushing her notes up like in Apple with the chorus. A little scared for Eunha tbh because she does have some support but not all time
@@richter4446 and if she were to continue that, she'll end up like Yuju and then all of the high notes will be given to SinB and she also doesn't support completely
Yerin always get compare with other members when it comes to dance, now her vocals is get compare too, :(
(Sorry for my bad english)
YES THANK YOU!!! Gfriend is my favorite girl group since 2016. Eunha is my bias but I love all of them.
Great video, please do izone, 7 of them are good vocalist especially yuri, izone is one of the only 4gen groups who have good vocalist and they're gonna disband soon so please try to do it if you can ;)
I really want to know what he says about yuri's voice because her voice is so amazing I really hope to hear more from her after izone disbands. Unpopular opinion: I know a lot think chuu is the best 4th gen vocalist but I think yuri may be a bit better than her. That being said I feel more from chuu's singing than yuri's
@@purpleeyebrows19 yuri is better than chuu, i'm not a vocal coach but i've seen a lot of vocal videos and yuri support is better than chuu's. First yechan (pink fantasy) then Yuri, jungwoo from bvndit then maybe bora (cherry bullet), denise (secret number) or lia (itzy) and then chuu and miyeon (gidle), but i'm not sure ;)
@@sanspurple5621 Isnt Chuu better than Lia, or at least on the same level as her?
Tho, I agree that Yuri is better than Chuu, and I'm honored that you mentioned Jungwoo and Denise.
@@JuliaTDI23 I think chuu is better than lia but lia isnt as bad of a vocalist as people make her out to be
@@JuliaTDI23 Lia has a better supported range
Will u actually do a LOONA Vocal ranking sometime?👉👈💚
Cuz ur the only one who really makes accurate vocal rankings 😅
thank you for another video 💕 could u please make one ranking rocket punch? 🧡🧡🧡
Disney princess voice is UMJI
Welcome back king! Hope you do loona!
I’d love if you could do one for izone, their vocal line is pretty good so I’d love to see your ranking as everyone seems to vary a lot
Love your videos btw :)
would you consider doing loona next? i love your analysis of vocalists and since each member has a solo and such it’d be great to see
I hope theres someone WJSN vocal ranking with reasoning.
Can you do SF9? They’ve got some really good vocalists and I’m pretty sure one of them is a baritone.
my bias is yerin but i kinda underestimate her, but in 2020 she really improved a lot. Her live singing is one of the best and she's the most stable along with yuju. I'm agree she's in 3rd place, lil better than sinb. 2019-2020 is most noticeable
Would you please do a vocal ranking for loona? It's pretty hard for me to tell who's better between them
1. HaSeul
2. Chuu
(My opinion)
i really appreciate how you go into such detail with each of your vocal rankings for each and every member!! could you consider doing an iz*one vocal ranking by the way?
HES BAAAAAAACK
Even before watching the video, we.know who's #1 and #2.
