She gave everything she got and completely spent at the end. As you've said, there no fake or pretense here, just pure emotions from the bottom of her heart. This is one of the most moving performances you'll ever experience.
OMG I get emotional every time I watch this performance & I must be well over 20 times i've seen it. A couple more for you to watch,' bridge over troubled water' & 'lean on me', both from immortal songs 2.
yeah!, one of the most amazing performances she's done..!, you're absolutely right!, she's singing what she is believing and we can see her how big her faith specially in this song, but when you watch her more you realize she's about the song and nothing else, she becomes the song, and very sincere about the emotions, you can tell she only sings the songs that are valuable to her and meaningful, also when she does a rearrangement of a song, you feel the song's emotions(lyrics) emphasized even the parts that are not highlighted in the original. SoHyang is a truly amazing artist and very beautiful human being...! she's should have been named as one of the National Treasures of South Korea.
Sohyang is a true vocal beast here (I think it’s her largest range in any one song: F3-Bb5-Eb6), and she puts an unbelievable amount of emotion on display. Not to mention her stamina to belt out such high notes for over 7 minutes. One of the best performances from anyone ever. Next you should check out “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Lean On Me.” They’re both English covers and are both incredible vocal feats.
So Hyang Not sure it the F3 here is supported, but it’s impressive that her supported range is so large and that she almost always stays within in it (F3-C#6-F6 at best).
OMG !!! This is the best ever ! What a amazing, powerful and emotional song that was born with her unique voice and incredible singing ability ! So Hyang is ranked as a Star with Whitney and Mariah in the world's Top singer category by the American Critics of Music. Thanks for your nice reaction ! From the U.S.
For the life of me I don’t know why people like quoting that one website, the person who runs it is just basing it on his opinion just like anyone else would. He’s not God.
"Her Journey ... Her Truth ... Her Gift to us ALL!" She is truly inspirational as someone who has confronted so much adversity and come through the other side! I love her ability to convey that through her performances. Good job too Caleb at pointing out these very things throughout regarding both the technicality and spirituality that is So Hyang! Take care my friend & until next time. Keep reacting. Much Luv - J💕
❤️❤️❤️.. her voice... her heart... hits me in my own heart and soul every time!!! Thx for reacting to my favorite Sohyang performance!! Appreciate it so much ! ❤️❤️❤️
Caleb, just want to say thank you for your sincerity and professionalism in making this commentary for So Hyang's song. I love her and her songs and have watched countless reactions but yours is the best. Seems like you've got many great talents yourself but you're so humble too. Pray your journey is also blessed and enriched.
So Hyang songlist: - Bridge Over Troubled Water - Lean On Me - You Raise Me Up (2018) - I Have Nothing - Where Are You - Dream - Its Only My World - In The Flower Garden - The Day Was Sunny Kiss - Though I Love You - Fate - For Thousand Days (ft The One) - Childish Adult (ft JK Kim Dong Wook) from king of mask singers: Hug Me, Breathe, Monalisa, Day Day, Home, Do You Know, Dear Love, Atlantis Princess
Great reaction, as always! I don't care how many times I've seen this vid, I cry ever time. Please react to So Hyang Bridge over troubled water. It's in English and is another vocal tour de force from her.
Caleb, this is the third time I have watched this video and I must say that your comments are moving along with Sohyang's dynamic performance, it is like going back to church to hear a favorite Gospel message and singer. Thanks for appreciating all of the qualities that she brings to us in the way of talent, faith, inspiration, beauty, and sheer joy, as exemplified in that last two minutes of this amazing experience.
Love, love, LOVE this performance by Sohyang. She is truly amazing. Please react to her performance of 'Lean on Me'. She performs in front of Michael Bolton on the same stage here. After watching her, he invited her to sing with him at his concert in Korea.
There are some singers who have a high note like her. When they hit such a high note, i was shocked. But they just surprised me. Sohyang? She makes me feel exactly the same thing what she feels now. She is great not only she can hit high note, but also she delivers her full emotion and takes all listners to her place(with perfect technique)🧡 please listen her 'you raise me up' from the same tv show(2018). It's amazing🤗
She has recorded an A6, but has been said to be able to go up to a E7. But you are right... that G5 range is where she spends a lot of time, and I do not now of another singer who can stay up there as long as she does, come dawn and go back up and stay again. She is a one of a lifetime singer.
Yesss ! Best choice of performance you did there !! Absolutely astounding arrangement , vocals and stamina ! I was out of breath just watching it XD I also had tears and goosebumps all over... , please make sure to react to her "You raise me up" performance, that day there was one of the original singing band members watching her as well, he was very impressed !
Thank you again for this reaction for our Queen Sohyang. We love her so much, she's so unique and talented ! I recommend you "Bridge over Trouble Water" for the next reaction of Sohyang. Anyway thank you very much !
I absolutely love that you share your technical lingo because it helps us learn. With that being said, I almost appreciate more that you give us an emotional interpretation as well. Thank you again Caleb!
Yes you reacted to the king Dimash and now the queen So Hyang, great job. I'd like to suggest reacting to Son Seung Hyun and Park Ki Young next. Great job again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Caleb It really doesn't matter what song you listen to the results.will be the same. God has truly blessed her with that gift and she carries it well. Please continue your journey with Sohyang it only gets better believe me.... ONE LOVE.
I've watched this hundreds of times and she can still make me cry. And the amount of belt time in that song is just crazy... 6 minutes out of an 8 minute song? She is my Queen. One performance I'd like to recommend is "The Day Sunshine Kissed Me ". Sohyang wrote that song about the day she met Jesus when she was 18. Not only is it beautiful, but she just glows when she sings it. The video I'm linking doesn't have that many views (I'm probably half of them)... but the translation seems to make the most sense out of all the videos I've found. th-cam.com/video/ky3YL0l5Uow/w-d-xo.html Just a small warning... this song can get stuck in your head very easily 😂
Awesome job Caleb. You Raise Me Up and Lean on Me are great reacts as well. Also, check out Park KiYoung, a good friend of Sohyang . Great vocalist , Song for You is a great start .
6 minutes of legendary belting😍😍 pls react to so hyang lean on me also take a look at her legendary King of mask singer performances (use vimeo for full performances) so hyang home so hyang mona lisa (rock song!!) so hyang hug me so hyang dear love so hyang breathe
Yes, these are the true gems from Sohyang plus Saldaga and Where Are You. For Christians, The Day Sunshine Kissed Me is a song written by her about the day she fell in love with Jesus. Love the song dearly as well.
So hyang one of my favorite female vocalists. Her performance of “ everyone” was beyond amazing. But I have a request that you react to her closest and best friend, “Park Ki Young”, I like Park Ki Young because they have about the same vocal range but Park Ki Young is a tad more versatile and can belt them with equal emotional impact and power in rock, pop, soul, jazz flamenco, and classical ( opera). A few of my favorites that are worthy of reacting to: ( either privately or publicly) TH-cam: “I dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls” ( 5:02 duration. A rare hidden gem that she performs the way it was intended to be performed : as an opera in English. Anya’s Version is the standard but sung as a ballad but Park Ki Young opera style takes you to church and beyond. This was an operetta from 1834 Called “ Bohemian Girl” Dame Joan Southernland is the standard-not Anya. But Park Kiyoung Version ( being a vocal coach) will excite you. “ Nella Fantasia “ ( 4:08 best version ever and I’ve watched and listened to all the world class vocalists perform this) “ Goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one she’s in the celestial realm and sustains the last note a long time. “wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration with the blue strobe lighting) “Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration) Lonely Nights ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range and the ending is up in the stratosphere. “ So hyang” receives a lot more reactors and reactions than Park Ki Young” because of her ability to sing many popular American songs in English which she performs with emotional impact. But please don’t judge a vocalist by the number of requests you receive-altho your fans are usually right. But I’m a professional singer and my singing friends unanimously agree that both So Hyang and Park Ki Young are not only world class vocalists but equal in talent. What I’m trying to say is I believe Park Ki Young deserves far more reactions and I promise you and your subscribers who love So Hyang ( and I am among them) that you won’t be disappointed listening to a Park Ki Young song. They are both about the same age ( early 40s but look amazing for their age!) and the closest and best of friends. Please start your Park Ki Young Journey with “ Nella Fantasia” ( click first vid 4:08 duration) which I consider the best rendition I have ever heard of this song and I have heard all the world class vocalists perform it) Then “ I dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Park” ( 5:02). One of the rare ones performed by her in English and Sung to perfection. A masterpiece. Then the others which will give you a sampling of her different genres. ** Goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one she’s in the celestial realm and sustains the last note a long time. “wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration with the blue strobe lighting) “Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration) Lonely Nights ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range and the ending is up in the stratosphere. “ To You” ( awesome flamenco beat. If you love flamenco, you will love her performance!Click the 4:28 posted by KBS) “ Spring Rain” ( rock /soul with an emotionally impactful and incredible raspy voice ending. 6:53 posted by KBS) Now that you’ve gotten a broad spectrum and sampling of her versatility, I’m certain you have become ( like thousands of others) an avid fan. She has many many more live performance to lift your spirit to the angelic realm. Please tell your friends that love Sohyang to listen to Park Kiyoung. They will thank you. All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida, Al

I love how you're impressed by the technical aspect of her performance but even more so, you're more in tune in emphasizing how this song resonates with the audience because she's been on this emotional journey and wanting to share the message of God through this gift granted to her to spread such a message. Its beautiful in all its encompassed meaning.
Loved your reaction and analysis! This performance was a pure vocal marvel! You should definitely react to her I have Nothing during the DMC Festival, and might as well her Dream performance that she performed on the same stage. (Edit : the song is called "Everyone" , not "Everybody". Cheers!)
😭😭😭😭 It has been a long time since I have been so deeply affected by a song! Authentic. Phenomenal vocal performance. My dream of course for her is for a duet with Dimash written by Igor Krutoy. 💗💗
I absolutely LOVED your comments and you so adequately and precisely identified the emotions in the song. Her faith is indeed displayed do fully and translates to the audience do clearly. The performance is real; it's like a testimony and witnessing.🙏🏾😍😍🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️
Not only is your analysis still technicaly relevant, but you've been able to understand the essence of Sohyang : she's a mystic even before she's a singer. But what a singer, of course ! There is also Lean on me, as a very beautiful gospel song, but, as I said one day and as I stick to this formula : "Whenever I listen to a song by Sohyang, it's always her best one. "
Thank you for the reaction~:) So hyang is a queen and angel~:) Her voice is pure, clean, powerful, deep soul, beautiful~:) Pls more react to so hyang's songs~:)
Great reaction Caleb.Not many vocalists could belt this high, this long with no earpiece, live and pull it off with such class and grace,besides pulling the audience into this journey. Very few would have the audacity and confidence.
I loved your reaction and subscribed. I totally agree that she was telling a story of her life and faith. I look forward to watching more reactions from you. Thanks.
"People in the audience crying...." he said, I'm home watching this after 3 years for the gazillion time since I discovered it and I still cry every frickin time. She is sooooo fuxxing good!!!!🤍
Thanks a lot Caleb for your reaction. I really appreciate your reaction videos. Watching your facial expressions is priceless but combined with your words it makes me able to appreciate the work of these artists in an appropriate way. And you've a great personality. So, thank you again and I wish you still good luck for your music projects. Do you already have something new in mind?
Sohyang one of my favorite female Korean vocalists but for the life of me I can’t figure out why you ( or other coaches) haven’t as yet reacted to another world class female Korean vocalist who many consider as good as Sohyang ( they are close best friends and each admire the others talent). They both have the same vocal range and hit those celestial high notes with emotional impact. And they both look beautiful. Her name is Park Ki Young and here are 3 youtube live performances that will blow your mind and open your heart. Park Ki Young “ wound”( amazing but she can go higher) Park Ki Young “ Spring Rain” ( amazing and those high notes!!) Park Ki Young “ Goodbye, a word that’s too short” ( heartwrenching and again high notes are amazing) Please react first to “ Goodbye, a word that’s too short” because it highlights her tremendous vocal range and emotional depth. I hope all your subscribers who never heard Park Ki Young perform , will react privately. After you fall in love with her voice ( like many others from around the world) You may then want to react to more. Many more to choose from. like the jazzy “ right” Park Ki Young is more versatile than Sohyang in terms of different genres she is able to sing in ie rock, jazz, soul , opera. But for now, please do yourself a favor and react to the 3 aforementioned. You will thank me. Always love, P.s.:Before you react there is a TH-cam vid of “ Park Ki Young VS Sohyang” that highlights both remarkable voices. I give the nod to Sohyang but its a close battle. Please give Park Ki Young an opportunity. You and your subscribers who haven’t heard Park Ki Young but love Sohyang will be amazed. Love to all, Al
Everytime i hear this song i go to another place. The words are so beautiful, and its a song that i could play to any of my friends whether they are korean or not and they will feel uplifted. Not only that, when you have the opportunity to hear Sohyang, she is able to pull you into the song and feel something, your able to feel passion she has for the song and words. Thanx man for the reaction, you have nalied it completely, Sohyang is absolutely amazing. Great work mate Peace.Love.Harmony BL1nk.TT.0Nce
Please react to Katrina Velarde ‘Go The Distance’ on the Wish Bus 1075 she’ll blow you away with her phenomenal breath control! She will also become your favourite.
I have nothing, her cover of Whitney Houston qt the DMC Music Festival, even Whitney wouldn’t have been able to pull out Sohyang’s artistry and vocals on this song. Also You Raise Me up, on Immortal Songs, where Shane Filian from Westlife was the invited guest... two additional otherworldly performances worthy of your reaction, as always God’s blessings be on you, stay well
I am about as far from religious as one can be, but the message of Love and Hope she shares in this song comes through in an absolutely stunning manner even without the need of a belief in god. This woman is just phenomenal and we just need more people like her to lift us up and give us the strength to be the best people we can be, as she is clearly doing.
Hey Caleb, may I suggest some songs that are very special to Sohyang - Hug me (she always cry performing it), Raise me Up (especially 2018 Immortal Songs version, which represents her life journey and struggles), Bridge over Troubled Water, Dream (her own song which has amazing lyrics and is crazy, insanely hard to sing as well), O holy Night (she actually stands on her knees on many performances, but the best recording might be the Singer 2 version from 2012 with the whole orchestra behind her), Lean on me. Thanks
Goosebumps every time at the a cappella section... Just a bit of an FYI that her Lean On Me is a bit all over the place arrangement-wise. It's more of a "show off" arrangement to highlight her technical prowess but it loses some of the emotional connection IMO. Bridge Over Troubled Water is excellent but I think she connects more in her native language so I'd recommend "Hug Me" which she performed on King Of Masked Singer but the full version is about 5 mins long and is not on TH-cam. There is a version on TH-cam of her singing it at DMC Festival (without the mask) and it's also excellent but my preference is the masked version.
I love how you eagerly listens to the performances and analyze them. If you have time, listen to Tengri's "Heaven". He performed it on The Singer (chinese program). Would love to see you react to it!
It was an unexplainable singing.. It's the only sound that can come out of the crystal clear soul's throat!!!
She gave everything she got and completely spent at the end.
As you've said, there no fake or pretense here, just pure emotions from the bottom of her heart.
This is one of the most moving performances you'll ever experience.
This is my fav performance of hers...Stamina,melisma,range,resonance,emotions and her tone 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️...Everything is perfect
Insane. Sohyang is insane...ly good!💖 The stamina. The support. The dynamics. It's dizzying. 😵 On top of all that, the emotion.😭 Just WOW!
Beautiful soul, beautiful singing, So Hyang is a true Angel
So Hyang - You raise me up - is also very good and it is an English popular song.
2018 immortal songs version of you raise me up
Actually a Norwegian/Irish song from the pop-duo Secret garden. But indeed a beatiful version by Sohyang; she kills it and makes it here own.
So hyang always healing our painful heart ❤
OMG I get emotional every time I watch this performance & I must be well over 20 times i've seen it. A couple more for you to watch,' bridge over troubled water' & 'lean on me', both from immortal songs 2.
Look forward to it :)
she is by far the greatest ever
yeah!, one of the most amazing performances she's done..!, you're absolutely right!, she's singing what she is believing and we can see her how big her faith specially in this song, but when you watch her more you realize she's about the song and nothing else, she becomes the song, and very sincere about the emotions, you can tell she only sings the songs that are valuable to her and meaningful, also when she does a rearrangement of a song, you feel the song's emotions(lyrics) emphasized even the parts that are not highlighted in the original. SoHyang is a truly amazing artist and very beautiful human being...! she's should have been named as one of the National Treasures of South Korea.
Completely agree!
Sohyang is a true vocal beast here (I think it’s her largest range in any one song: F3-Bb5-Eb6), and she puts an unbelievable amount of emotion on display. Not to mention her stamina to belt out such high notes for over 7 minutes. One of the best performances from anyone ever. Next you should check out “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Lean On Me.” They’re both English covers and are both incredible vocal feats.
It actually is)) and the only thing that is much more incredible than this fact, that it's supported, and that's not the full range of her))
So Hyang Not sure it the F3 here is supported, but it’s impressive that her supported range is so large and that she almost always stays within in it (F3-C#6-F6 at best).
Absolutely amazing, the closest to perfection a singer can be!! Please react to her versio of Lean on me from Michael Bolton
Lean on me (Michael Bolton ver. Cover) - vimeo.com/306340349
So incredible!
OMG !!! This is the best ever ! What a amazing, powerful and emotional song that was born with her unique voice and incredible singing ability ! So Hyang is ranked as a Star with Whitney and Mariah in the world's Top singer category by the American Critics of Music. Thanks for your nice reaction ! From the U.S.
For the life of me I don’t know why people like quoting that one website, the person who runs it is just basing it on his opinion just like anyone else would. He’s not God.
"Her Journey ... Her Truth ... Her Gift to us ALL!" She is truly inspirational as someone who has confronted so much adversity and come through the other side! I love her ability to convey that through her performances. Good job too Caleb at pointing out these very things throughout regarding both the technicality and spirituality that is So Hyang! Take care my friend & until next time. Keep reacting. Much Luv - J💕
Completely agree, thanks take care also.
❤️❤️❤️.. her voice... her heart... hits me in my own heart and soul every time!!! Thx for reacting to my favorite Sohyang performance!! Appreciate it so much ! ❤️❤️❤️
Hits me too. No problems :)
She always makes the stage special.
I couldn't breathe when the lights went off and she sang the emotion.
Sohyang is as real as it gets,she is not about fame or fortune.she is 20 plus years thousands of hours of training
Caleb, just want to say thank you for your sincerity and professionalism in making this commentary for So Hyang's song. I love her and her songs and have watched countless reactions but yours is the best. Seems like you've got many great talents yourself but you're so humble too.

I haven't heard anyone either who is so comfortable in that range with that strong tone!
소향 리액션 감사합니다 표정에서 진심이 느껴져 감동이 몇배로 다가오네요
소향은 사랑입니다
Yesss ! Best choice of performance you did there !! Absolutely astounding arrangement , vocals and stamina ! I was out of breath just watching it XD I also had tears and goosebumps all over... , please make sure to react to her "You raise me up" performance, that day there was one of the original singing band members watching her as well, he was very impressed !
Thank you again for this reaction for our Queen Sohyang. We love her so much, she's so unique and talented ! I recommend you "Bridge over Trouble Water" for the next reaction of Sohyang. Anyway thank you very much !
her masterpiece.
she said 'everyone' was hardest song so far
Queen sohyang
Hi Caleb😊 there's only one goddess of vocals Sohyang 💖💖❤💜💙💛
I absolutely love that you share your technical lingo because it helps us learn. With that being said, I almost appreciate more that you give us an emotional interpretation as well. Thank you again Caleb!
:) thanks!
Great reaction! Great singer!✨❤️✨
Yes you reacted to the king Dimash and now the queen So Hyang, great job.
I'd like to suggest reacting to Son Seung Hyun and Park Ki Young next.
Great job again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Caleb
It really doesn't matter what song you listen to the results.will be the same. God has truly blessed her with that gift and she carries it well. Please continue your journey with Sohyang it only gets better believe me.... ONE LOVE.
She has a beautiful voice, someone else who makes it look so easy!! I've heard a few of her songs and she always impresses :)
Can you stop being so damn cute? Love all the videos for real, always so happy to see that a new video is out! Thank you!
I've watched this hundreds of times and she can still make me cry. And the amount of belt time in that song is just crazy... 6 minutes out of an 8 minute song? She is my Queen.
One performance I'd like to recommend is "The Day Sunshine Kissed Me ". Sohyang wrote that song about the day she met Jesus when she was 18. Not only is it beautiful, but she just glows when she sings it. The video I'm linking doesn't have that many views (I'm probably half of them)... but the translation seems to make the most sense out of all the videos I've found.

Just a small warning... this song can get stuck in your head very easily 😂
SO impressive. Thanks.
Priceless reaction! Loved the subtitles in Portuguese o/
Please react to SoHyang - Lean On Me!!
Awesome job Caleb. You Raise Me Up and Lean on Me are great reacts as well. Also, check out Park KiYoung, a good friend of Sohyang . Great vocalist , Song for You is a great start .

also take a look at her legendary King of mask singer performances (use vimeo for full performances)
so hyang home
so hyang mona lisa (rock song!!)
so hyang hug me
so hyang dear love
so hyang breathe
Yes, these are the true gems from Sohyang plus Saldaga and Where Are You. For Christians, The Day Sunshine Kissed Me is a song written by her about the day she fell in love with Jesus. Love the song dearly as well.
She said this song is most difficult for her. Because this song have many part of long breath.
So hyang one of my favorite female vocalists. Her performance of “ everyone” was beyond amazing. But I have a request that you react to her closest and best friend, “Park Ki Young”, I like Park Ki Young because they have about the same vocal range but Park Ki Young is a tad more versatile and can belt them with equal emotional impact and power in rock, pop, soul, jazz flamenco, and classical ( opera). A few of my favorites that are worthy of reacting to: ( either privately or publicly)
TH-cam:
“I dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls” ( 5:02 duration. A rare hidden gem that she performs the way it was intended to be performed : as an opera in English.
Anya’s Version is the standard but sung as a ballad but Park Ki Young opera style takes you to church and beyond. This was an operetta from 1834
Called “ Bohemian Girl”
Dame Joan Southernland is the standard-not Anya.
But Park Kiyoung Version ( being a vocal coach) will excite you.
“ Nella Fantasia “ ( 4:08 best version ever and I’ve watched and listened to all the world class vocalists perform this)
“ Goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one she’s in the celestial realm and sustains the last note a long time.
“wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration with the blue strobe lighting)
“Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration)
Lonely Nights ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range and the ending is up in the stratosphere.
“ So hyang”
receives a lot more reactors and reactions than Park Ki Young”
because of her ability to sing many popular American songs in English which she performs with emotional impact.
But please don’t judge a vocalist by the number of requests you receive-altho your fans are usually right.
But I’m a professional singer and my singing friends unanimously agree that both So Hyang and Park Ki Young are not only world class vocalists but equal in talent.
What I’m trying to say is I believe Park Ki Young deserves far more reactions and I promise you and your subscribers who love So Hyang ( and I am among them) that you won’t be disappointed listening to a Park Ki Young song. They are both about the same age ( early 40s but look amazing for their age!) and the closest and best of friends. Please start your Park Ki Young Journey with “ Nella Fantasia” ( click first vid 4:08 duration)
which I consider the best rendition I have ever heard of this song and I have heard all the world class vocalists perform it)
Then “ I dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls Park” ( 5:02). One of the rare ones performed by her in English and Sung to perfection. A masterpiece.
Then the others which will give you a sampling of her different genres.
**
Goodbye a word that’s too short” ( click 5:08 one she’s in the celestial realm and sustains the last note a long time.
“wound” ( emotionally impactful 5:57 duration with the blue strobe lighting)
“Hit hee Park Ki Young” (one of my all-time favorites 5:18 duration)
Lonely Nights ( one of a serious of “ Mask” performances that she won. Amazing vocal range and the ending is up in the stratosphere.
“ To You” ( awesome flamenco beat. If you love flamenco, you will love her performance!Click the 4:28 posted by KBS)
“ Spring Rain” ( rock /soul with an emotionally impactful and incredible raspy voice ending. 6:53 posted by KBS)
Now that you’ve gotten a broad spectrum and sampling of her versatility, I’m certain you have become ( like thousands of others) an avid fan.
She has many many more live performance to lift your spirit to the angelic realm. Please tell your friends that love Sohyang to listen to Park Kiyoung. They will thank you.
All love in isolation

If you're sad, I'll be crying.
어두운 밤 험한 길 걸을 때,

When you need some one
to share your love
He said, I'll be the one
to be your love
(I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there)

Thank you! ☺️❤️
Noone has ever done a single song better In every way.. just truly amazing..
I love how you're impressed by the technical aspect of her performance but even more so, you're more in tune in emphasizing how this song resonates with the audience because she's been on this emotional journey and wanting to share the message of God through this gift granted to her to spread such a message. Its beautiful in all its encompassed meaning.
Loved your reaction and analysis! This performance was a pure vocal marvel! You should definitely react to her I have Nothing during the DMC Festival, and might as well her Dream performance that she performed on the same stage. (Edit : the song is called "Everyone" , not "Everybody". Cheers!)
Thanks - I have fixed it now :)
It doesn't get better than that.. Best live performance I've ever heard. 7 plus minutes!
If you want to Hear some of couple Bb5 plsss react to her cover of Lean on me by michael Boulton!
Bb5 is her signature note ❤
😭😭😭😭
It has been a long time since I have been so deeply affected by a song!
Authentic.
Phenomenal vocal performance.
My dream of course for her is for a duet with Dimash written by Igor Krutoy. 💗💗
I absolutely LOVED your comments and you so adequately and precisely identified the emotions in the song. Her faith is indeed displayed do fully and translates to the audience do clearly. The performance is real; it's like a testimony and witnessing.🙏🏾😍😍🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️
Not only is your analysis still technicaly relevant, but you've been able to understand the essence of Sohyang : she's a mystic even before she's a singer. But what a singer, of course !
There is also Lean on me, as a very beautiful gospel song, but, as I said one day and as I stick to this formula : "Whenever I listen to a song by Sohyang, it's always her best one. "
Thanks I look forward to it :)
This lady could sing her weekly shopping list and I would have goosebumps she is simply awesome.
Thank you So Hyang my ears have been blessed.
Breathtaking every time I hear her.
Thank you for the reaction~:)
So hyang is a queen and angel~:)
Her voice is pure, clean, powerful, deep soul, beautiful~:)
Pls more react to so hyang's songs~:)
Thanks I will do!
Great reaction Caleb.Not many vocalists could belt this high, this long with no earpiece, live and pull it off with such class and grace,besides pulling the audience into this journey. Very few would have the audacity and confidence.
I loved your reaction and subscribed. I totally agree that she was telling a story of her life and faith. I look forward to watching more reactions from you. Thanks.
Everyone... Please react to so hyang more.. 🙏 🙏 great reaction
"People in the audience crying...." he said, I'm home watching this after 3 years for the gazillion time since I discovered it and I still cry every frickin time. She is sooooo fuxxing good!!!!🤍
Boy you started your SoHyang journey with 2 strong performances.. Two of her absolute finest really by anybody..
The more I hear So Hyang, the more I am drawn to listen even more!
Great reaction and analysis. There are no one did it include singer’s life. I like that.
Check out the same song Everyone by the singer Ailee as well 😊 They´re both amazing singers
Please do Bridge Over Troubled Water by Sohyang next!
The way you watch and listen music is so pure and calm . Also u look adorable
Thanks a lot Caleb for your reaction. I really appreciate your reaction videos. Watching your facial expressions is priceless but combined with your words it makes me able to appreciate the work of these artists in an appropriate way. And you've a great personality. So, thank you again and I wish you still good luck for your music projects. Do you already have something new in mind?
Thank you. I'm currently writing some more songs and looking to release a new 5 song EP at the end of the year or early next year :)
WOW.
I'm looking forward to it.
@@volkerurbschat1486 Thanks :)
Aaaaahhhh thank you so much Caleb to accept be reacting to this song.
So so thankful to you.🤗🤗🤗
Chills!! I have no idea how she belts in mixed voice above the staff without strain!
Truly enjoyed your reaction. The breakdown of what she is doing with her voice makes me appreciate her talent more
With the performance and your beautiful description I was in tears! You earned a sub my friend!
Omg ur comments make me cry 😭😭....Knowing what she’s been through ahhh
Angelic Voice queen Sohyang.
감동과 위로, 꿈과 희망을 줍니다.
Sohyang one of my favorite female Korean vocalists but for the life of me I can’t figure out why you ( or other coaches) haven’t as yet reacted to another world class female Korean vocalist who many consider as good as Sohyang ( they are close best friends and each admire the others talent). They both have the same vocal range and hit those celestial high notes with emotional impact. And they both look beautiful. Her name is Park Ki Young and here are 3 youtube live performances that will blow your mind and open your heart.
Park Ki Young “ wound”( amazing but she can go higher)
Park Ki Young “ Spring Rain” ( amazing and those high notes!!)
Park Ki Young “ Goodbye, a word that’s too short” ( heartwrenching and again high notes are amazing)
Please react first to “ Goodbye, a word that’s too short” because it highlights her tremendous vocal range and emotional depth. I hope all your subscribers who never heard Park Ki Young perform , will react privately.
After you fall in love with her voice ( like many others from around the world)
You may then want to react to more. Many more to choose from. like the jazzy “ right” Park Ki Young is more versatile than Sohyang in terms of different genres she is able to sing in ie rock, jazz, soul , opera.
But for now, please do yourself a favor and react to the 3 aforementioned.
You will thank me.
Always love,
P.s.:Before you react there is a TH-cam vid of “ Park Ki Young VS Sohyang” that highlights both remarkable voices.
I give the nod to Sohyang but its a close battle. Please give Park Ki Young an opportunity. You and your subscribers who haven’t heard Park Ki Young but love Sohyang will be amazed.
Love to all,
Al
Thank you, I'll make a note of her and hope to do a reaction in the future :)
You are real big fan of Korean singers !
I love your reaction, your comment and everything that you said. That's true. I loved to watch another reaction from so hyang, God blessed you
Hermosa voz.. Potente.. Wauuuu
Everytime i hear this song i go to another place. The words are so beautiful, and its a song that i could play to any of my friends whether they are korean or not and they will feel uplifted. Not only that, when you have the opportunity to hear Sohyang, she is able to pull you into the song and feel something, your able to feel passion she has for the song and words. Thanx man for the reaction, you have nalied it completely, Sohyang is absolutely amazing.
Great work mate
Peace.Love.Harmony
BL1nk.TT.0Nce
Appreciate it !
Her version of bridge over troubled waters is everything! Definitely a must see
Love your reaction and analysis. Great. More of SoHyang please.
100% agreed. "You raised me up" would be good for the next one.
"Where Are You" will blow your mind..
She is amazing !!!
I'm satisfied for your reaction ^-^
Please react to Katrina Velarde ‘Go The Distance’ on the Wish Bus 1075 she’ll blow you away with her phenomenal breath control! She will also become your favourite.
sohyang maravilhosa !!!
리액션 감사합니다. ^^ 잘 보고 갑니다.
Thank you for reacting on her. I love your reaction. Please do more on her. Lean on Me should be the next one. Thank you.
So Hyang is a phenomenal singer. Please react 'I Have Nothing' in 2015.
" AMAZING TALENT "
Omg
Thank you for your reaction to queen
she is amazing
you're amazing
Please react to her You raise me up (2018) and Lean on me
Look forward to it :)
Thx for reacting of Sohyang, Bro !
:)
I have nothing, her cover of Whitney Houston qt the DMC Music Festival, even Whitney wouldn’t have been able to pull out Sohyang’s artistry and vocals on this song. Also You Raise Me up, on Immortal Songs, where Shane Filian from Westlife was the invited guest... two additional otherworldly performances worthy of your reaction, as always God’s blessings be on you, stay well
I am about as far from religious as one can be, but the message of Love and Hope she shares in this song comes through in an absolutely stunning manner even without the need of a belief in god. This woman is just phenomenal and we just need more people like her to lift us up and give us the strength to be the best people we can be, as she is clearly doing.
Hey Caleb, may I suggest some songs that are very special to Sohyang - Hug me (she always cry performing it), Raise me Up (especially 2018 Immortal Songs version, which represents her life journey and struggles), Bridge over Troubled Water, Dream (her own song which has amazing lyrics and is crazy, insanely hard to sing as well), O holy Night (she actually stands on her knees on many performances, but the best recording might be the Singer 2 version from 2012 with the whole orchestra behind her), Lean on me. Thanks
Thanks I look forward to hearing them.
Goosebumps every time at the a cappella section...
Just a bit of an FYI that her Lean On Me is a bit all over the place arrangement-wise. It's more of a "show off" arrangement to highlight her technical prowess but it loses some of the emotional connection IMO.
Bridge Over Troubled Water is excellent but I think she connects more in her native language so I'd recommend "Hug Me" which she performed on King Of Masked Singer but the full version is about 5 mins long and is not on TH-cam. There is a version on TH-cam of her singing it at DMC Festival (without the mask) and it's also excellent but my preference is the masked version.
Thanks for the insights :)
She's a queen! My favorite performance!
Everyone not Everybody 🤭
Thanks I have fixed it now sorry about that :)
I love how you eagerly listens to the performances and analyze them. If you have time, listen to Tengri's "Heaven". He performed it on The Singer (chinese program). Would love to see you react to it!
Wow Thank You For Reacting To Queenn Sohyang sir. more sohyang please, and i suggest LEAN ON ME of Sohyang w/special guest Michael Bolton. Its EPIC!
