Add to it that more than likely English is her second language the clarity of her voice, the emotion, I don't think she deserves the title Korean Mariah Carey because I think she's better than Maria Carey is.
Love this stripped down acoustic version of this iconic song. She performed it outside whilst sitting down with minimal instrumentation and yet it was so easy for her, and she sang the sax part for good measure. Stunning rendition from an incredible vocalist. Thank you so much for a great reaction.
I think this is the first time I heard about this performer and hear her sing... Amazing, WOW! Tears in my eyes, she is good! Thank you for introducing me to such a great talent, I can't wait to hear more from her.
Thanks so much for coming back to this artist! So Hyang is the best female voice on the planet IMO. She can sing anything, and when she isn't battling the effects of pneumonia (which she was here, actually, not long before), she is the most dynamic singer I've heard in a long life of gravitating toward the female voice. Here she is singing sitting down on a dock in the wind. Absolutely unbelievable. What separates her from the very best technical singers on the planet is her sincerity, her genuine delivery. Evidently this is her very much as a human. What a treasure to hear her in America on TH-cam! Just 'Wow'. Oh, and the young lady who's jaw dropped , was surprised, I think, at So Hyang singing the saxophone solo part from Whitney's version. But all of those young musicians are in awe of her. The lady's name is Lee Hi, and she is an incredible singer in her own right. Her song 'Breathe' (in Korean) is worthy of a reaction, either her version or So Hyang's version of that same song. Both are incredibly emotional.
For context, this show normally follows well known singers to different countries in street busking situations. This season was filmed during the pandemic entirely in Korea and this particular performance was at Korea's largest steel mill and was the first after So Hyang joined the cast. The cast is typically a bunch of "juniors" who are relatively young/current stars with at least one "senior" who is a veteran that older folks can easily relate to. This is the first time So Hyang performed after joining the cast mid-season and you can see how in awe the Juniors are as she does things with her voice that they never even thought possible, and for the rest of the season they made similar expressions of wonder. She really is a treasure and I hope she recovers from her current bout of Covid soon as the world is a much better place when she's sharing her gift with the rest of us.
I am so happy you did So Hyang's cover of I Will Always Love You. I had a feeling you would love this. I heard many pro singers and amateur singers cover this legendary song but only So Hyang's version makes me tear up and feel comforted like how this song was meant to be. Greeat reaction as always. Take care.
One of the few singers THAT easily capable of giving me goosebumps every time they sing. I also noticed how much (and how easily) she played around with vibrato.
I grew up listening to that song, my mother absolutely adored Simon and Garfunkel. The girl absolutely nailed it and brought tears to my eyes, my mother would have loved it
Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyy Godddddddd…UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL I AM CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭DOLLY AND WHITNEY WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF HER!!!! I KNOW I AM!!! ELIZABETH YOUR BEST REACTION YET!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your analysis of this Sohyang's performance. To appreciate Sohyang here, one really needs to go beyond the pristine technical execution and naturally gifted voice. The performance spoke volume about the effort in the artistic interpretation for this showing. You use the word "glorious" multiple times and that's such an apt term here. Thanks for the reaction.
I also had tears in my eyes listening to this. I’ve loved her singing for a long time but I had never heard/seen this video before. Thank you for your informative reaction.
You will enjoy listening to the Dolly Parton original recording - because here Sohyang is doing it justice with her unmatched ability. Notice also that she SANG the Saxophone solo. Amazing. Cheers.
@@toni6053 Well, yes. I guess Whitney's fan base is enough different from Dolly's that they never knew where it came from. Lots of giant hits are like that. the person who wrote it or first performed it gets little credit. "Unchained Melody" is an example. A man named Alex North wrote it for a prison movie. Todd Duncan sang it. Who knew? Cheers.
Hell yeah, thank you, before even listening yet. A for what it's worth...Misty from begin again korea is even better. It's pure bliss. Just read the comments section on it for an idea. Fate from I am singer is beyond them both and just up there near her top... yeah it's just so cool. Finally Breathe from masked singer, as well as Home just below it, are among her best. There is pure head voice magic in those two. Breathe making recent reactors tear up. Fate half the audience. It's sweet you got another one of hers in with this one but don't stop now, cause the best is still out there. I mean she is so special it's not like there's "too much" lol. Plus those there aren't like some and get a bit too much belt time. You can listen to them again and again. The masked singer show of her performances is full of that. Epic different stuff. Mona Lisa will blow your mind too. And she made rap epic in Day Day.
What a gorgeous and lovely reaction to SoHyang, Elizabeth.! It's been a while since you did react to her song Everyone! But I know how much you love SoHyang! Her singing ability to convey emotions can't be matched by anyone on earth! It's really touch my heart and soul!! Your analysis and reaction to SoHyang are so accurate and super cool as always!! Please, keep react to more SoHyang' singing "You raise me up(Immortal song 2 2018)". Take care!
The thing that sold this performance to me, outside of the nuances she adds to every phrase, is how she did that saxophone solo with her voice instead of letting a saxophonists play it for her. What a musician!
If you ever get to the Dolly version you kinda have to look at the full version of course but the bit she sings in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas REALLY drives home the meaning. You really feel it almost like she is holding back tears. Other people may possibly be "better" singers than her but very few singers really make you feel it like she does.
@@BrianRRenfro No, she didn't allow Elvis to cover it because his manager, the crook "Colonel" Tom Parker, insisted that she would have to sign over the rights to the song. Dolly was & is a LOT more savvy than Parker gave her credit for. She allowed Whitney Houston to cover it without signing away her ownership of the copyright & made a literal fortune in royalties.
The girl with the faces is actually an amazing singer with one of the most beautiful tones I've honestly ever heard! Her name is Lee Hi, I highly recommend listening to any live of hers to be honest that's how good she is, a personal favorite of mine is her song Breathe because of the words and meaning, written by late Korean legend Jonghyun who was also an amazing vocalist, highly recommend his live of Y Si Fuera Ela, and also member of one the og legends of Kpop, often called the princes of Kpop, Shinee!! I recommend reacting to both of them as they are such great singers also from South Korea.
@@dougel4709 See!!! They're amazing, Lee Hi's tone gotta be one of the most gorgeous tones I've ever listened to, and Jonghyun's too, just so unique, such a high quality vocalist, no wonder he's considered one of the best, the man was a beast when it came to vocals, and not only that he was also a beast in composing as well! Truly the whole package, just an amazing musician we unfortunately lost but his legacy still stays strong and his music continues to comfort me whenever I'm down so wherever he is singing with the stars i just hope knows how much he's loved and admired by so many of us 🤍
You will fall into a gunshot the moment you hear this singer's song! korea Killing Voice ❤️Lee Hi ❤️th-cam.com/video/oCZGxVyc_jA/w-d-xo.html ❤️th-cam.com/video/u9wJ4SD2Z2w/w-d-xo.html ❤️th-cam.com/video/cNF6puPEvuU/w-d-xo.html ❤️th-cam.com/video/E74gtc9ELEw/w-d-xo.html ❤️th-cam.com/video/hr2xGbc6jO0/w-d-xo.html ❤️th-cam.com/video/OGcUNjkbSEI/w-d-xo.html
I've heard that she has recently been diagnosed with Covid. This is no joke for someone like her whose immune system has been compromised. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her.
Sohyang is performing this Wednesday and Saturday. She posted a video yesterday about her health. In short, she said she was fine and to not worry too much. She's been studying in her free time during this period. This is the video th-cam.com/video/Womanyf_lQw/w-d-xo.html
That ending reminded me of Dolly. The runs made me feel like I was listening to a jazz version and the sustained bits like Whitney’s version this is truly special. Thank you for your reaction and yes I did notice you not stopping but I figured it was because why interrupt greatness?
How have I not seen/heard this until now? I'm a SoHyang fan since way back! (Since masked singer, sickest Mona Lisa rendition) but this... is siiiick! So delicate and clean! Best "cover" ever!
So Hyang joined these young gifted musicians in 2020 after doing the King of Mask Competition in 2017 (edited comment to correct the dates) while still suffering the effects of pneumonia as part of her goal to bring comfort to those going through difficult times, (as she, herself was doing). She travelled, to this pier on a giant steel mill which could not shut down during the Covid-19 restrictions, so the workers really needed a lift, with a nebulizer to help her sing during her recovery. So her breath control here is even more amazing, and this was the last song of the set they performed for them. I think they performed another set that evening, testing her stamina even more. So, even at less than full strength, So Hyang produced some her most epic performances. We are so fortunate that these performances were recorded so well! Thanks for your heartfelt reaction!
Absolutely I agree with you. She always touches my heart and makes me cry. Whenever I listen to her great songs, especially this song, l can't stop shedding tears in my eyes because it reminds me of my mother who passed away after suffering from incurable disease for a long time. Thank you so much for great comments. Have a nice day. 😊
@@killermaffia007brb9 So Hyang had cancer at age 20 and the surgery rendered her sterile. Also, I think, she got hepatitis from a blood transfusion during or after the cancer surgery, which, they say, is why she is so susseptable to pnuemonia. And recently she was reported to have come down with Covid but she posted a video July 24 th-cam.com/video/Womanyf_lQw/w-d-xo.html showing her doing well. So Hyang has proven to be so strong and resiliant and I thank God for that! I pray she will be performing for many more years!
I'm not crying - YOU'RE CRYING!! Your enthusiasm for these vocalists really comes through in these videos. Kudos to you for keeping it professional, for not absolutely breaking into tears every time (like I do), when we can all see how emotional you are about these vocals.
The way she says kind it really is wonderful. I'd like to see you react to her singing Breathe in the masked show if you wanna cry, or to Lean on me with Kirk Franklin if you wanna see her totally free.
Love this lady. A true pro. As a FYI, Diana Ankudinova has just teased her fans with a new, original (self written) ROCK song she has coming out shortly. She just put out a TH-cam short. Hope baby is healthy and well. :)
Yes, I've been waiting for this! Thank you. That her longest held-out note with vibrato on "you" (at 20:40)- so technically beautiful, yet heartfelt and without artifice up until 20:48 where she changed the vibrato to a run at just the right place - was just the topping for me! I wonder what would have been if Sohyang had grown up as an operatic voice with the same emotional expressiveness.
Sohyang's vocals are divided into pre-pneumonia (2018) and post-pneumonia. The vocals after being cured from pneumonia seem to have no disadvantages at all. Thank you for the reaction, Elizabeth. ♡ I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how to recommend another song!^^🥰
LOVE LOVE your sohyang reactions ❤ ♥, Best vocalist, performer, person, that ever walked the face of this planet in my opinion. Gift from God 😇. I love how she took on the sax solo in this, amazing! She sings with so much emotion! Always...makes you feel it. That's what separates her from everyone else. ❤❤❤
Elizabeth, you really should do analysis of a couple of songs by Dolly Parton. The woman is an absolute legend who transcends her usual genre and has one of the purest "sweet" type of voice in country and pop. She deserves to be included here.
Definitely agree that we need some Dolly on this channel. I would include not just her solo songs but in particular the Trio recording (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt) of "The Sweetest Gift" (live). Some of the most spectacular harmony singing you'll ever hear.
Sohyang's singing prowess extends beyond mere technical proficiency; she is a master at infusing her performances with genuine and heartfelt emotions. While her exceptional vocal techniques undoubtedly contribute to her artistry, it is her ability to connect with the music and convey deep emotions that truly sets her apart. When Sohyang sings, her voice becomes a vehicle for expressing a wide range of emotions, from joy and love to sorrow and longing. Her ability to connect with the lyrics and the essence of a song allows her to deliver performances that touch the hearts of her listeners. Through her vocal nuances, phrasing, and subtle vocal inflections, she brings authenticity and vulnerability to her interpretations. Sohyang's performances are marked by her capacity to evoke powerful emotions in her audience. Her voice carries the weight of her experiences and captures the essence of the songs she sings. Whether she is delivering a poignant ballad or an uplifting anthem, she has the ability to move her listeners to tears or fill them with a sense of hope and inspiration.
She can make the most beautiful and efficient sound that can be made in one breath. And every time she makes that breath into a beautiful sound without leaving a single breath. I'm so proud that I've been a fan of Sohyang for 12 years. Thank u for ur reaction~~^^
Pleeeease, as a professional Opera singer, you have to listen to Mario del Monaco singing Norma!! Maybe you already know him idk, but your video-reaction would make me sooo happy and also you would promote the lost art of declamatory singing!
Sohyang has one really up tempo song in her repertoire (that I'm aware of) called Day Day. Also a chance to hear her harmonize with other singers if you use the Begin Again Korea version.
Obviously Dolly had the true version…. and Whitney did have a lovely voice…. But this woman???? ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING! I’m a 56 year old bloke and I’m weeping!
Love Hate Love - Alice in Chains. LIVE AT MOORE PLACE. If you do it and are not impressed then I will donate 200 bucks to a charity of your choice lol.
@Elisabeth is there any chance I could get you to dive into Serj Tankian's solo work like "empty walls" or "lie, lie, lie"? Maybe even "sky is over" or "saving us"... *plead*
Very possibly. We have another SOAD coming, but I do want to hear Serj's solo stuff. I'm also working on trying to get him on for a Tea Time, so. If that happens, I'll absolutely delve into his solo work!
The young lady who's face the camera kept focusing on for reactions is Lee Hi. And between them is Lee Suhyun. Both of them are excellent vocalists as well! Just watch ALL the Begin Again performances. You won't regret it.
I was just re-watching all your Sohyang reactions, in the order that you made them & as this was your last one I realised just how long ago we last heard this wonderful woman on your channel. I could name any Sohyang performance, 100% confident she would blow you away again but I have 2 particular performances, that are very different, in mind that I really hope you find the time, with all the other things you have to do, to react to at least one, hopefully both, at some time please,please,please X 1,000,000 🙏 The first performance is again from this ‘Begin again’ series but at a different venue/day. The performance in question is her rendition of Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Misty’ (originally by Johnny Mathis) & I ask for this because I would like your thoughts on yet another genre of music being tackled by Sohyang. I personally think that jazz is really difficult to sing well compared to most other genre’s, it seems to have its own rules! Secondly, a duet, which you haven’t done before, her performance of ‘wildflower’ with a very nice baritone (I think!!) who’s name I can never remember. It is very different to ‘Misty’, not just in genre, but it is back to the ‘immortal songs’ series for TV with an orchestra etc, as the majority of your previous reactions have been, but bang up to date. I have seen numerous duets involving Sohyang & I’m always amazed that although it’s obvious that she is vocally superior, I never get the feeling that she’s trying to outshine her partner ( who I have also seen performing on their own in most cases) & more like she is enhancing their performance & I would just like your opinion, afterall you’re the expert. I think the time is now right for you to have another, hopefully 2, new Sohyang reactions on your channel, afterall, surely you can never have too much sohyang in your life & I know for sure that I am not your only subscriber that’s feels as I do. I wait in hope. Keep up all your good work, you make a difference.
Just learned of her a week ago. She is phenomenal singer. A South Korean singer-songwriter who has been dubbed by the international media as the "Korean Mariah Carey"
@@pryme2013 I feel she is better overall than Whitney was live, and I love Whitney. This lady's vocals are insane. This song is on the gentler side for So Hyang and she had been sick with pneumonia. The thing about Whitney is that her live performances paled compared to her studio work -- I have watched so many TH-cam performances of her over the years in live settings. So Hyang seems to be a master with live vocals. Just my opinion. I know a lot of people would disagree, but many would agree as well.
It's amazing how many songs - songs that, either, made an artist famous or boosted their credentials - aren't written by that artist. Still, it's, always, great to see other people's take. Dolly's is a great version.
@@pryme2013 That's funny; I've known that for years. The one's that, really, got me were the ones I didn't see coming: Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation' and 'I love Rock n Roll; Quiet Riot's covers of Slade's 'Cum on Feel The Noize' and 'Mama We All Crazy Now.' These were the most successful songs from these artists. I'm not agains an artist covering another's material; but for so long, it was never known. For the number of times I've heard 'I love Rock n Roll' on the radio, no disc-jockey ever mentioned it was written by Jake Hooker and Alan Merril. That would've been nice.
Dolly Parton is a miraculous human. I like to think that Porter Wagoner ultimately realized the significance of having this stunning expression of love and respect written for him. The setting of this performance provides a surreal reflection on the industrial-strength, global impact of Sohyang's utter commitment to the moment. It would have somehow felt different if it had been filmed at Carnegie Hall, or a mega-sporting/entertainment/political event. I'm fascinated by the audience-and their stories-almost as much as by the sublime talent of 김소향, and the love that shines toward her from her fellow performers. I've never seen anything like it!
I just can't imagine when you finally come across Misty from begin again korea... Breathe from masked singer... and Fate from I am singer. Those three especially. In the magic department they smoke this one. She has some kinda meh ones that get recommended a lot...power of love... amazing grace....there are just a few I hope don't get in the way of experiencing those three mentioned asap. And Home for that matter. Watch the original singer of Home and how cool that song is and imagine what Sohyang does to it. That's the thing some songs just ain't going to showcase her or as much and I Will Always Love You actually doesn't in a way. Yet it's still as good as it is. But well yeah wait till you get to a few of those that really do. Like Arirang does and Bridge does but I mean differently. I listen to too much Sohyang.
Yes, I agree, this is a beautiful version, but in those songs she seems even more incredible. Best female voice on earth! She truly could sing the phone book.
@@pryme2013 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Agreed 💯😉🥰 The amazing thing about Whitney, was that she never sang the song like she recorded it, when she would sing live. This artist is very talented, but there will never be another artist like the VOICE😉 Blessings and abundance to you! #NippyForever ❤️💜♥️💜
@@pryme2013 Sorry, but she is! Technically better, live better. Just my opinion, but many will agree. Go listen to Whitney live. It was nothing like her studio work. This woman is the real deal live.
The appreciation for Sohyang and the music she brings to nurture the soul comes across well. As a non-specialist I believe that she richly deserves the accolades you shower on her - certainly listening to her singing is a blessing to me.
1. Otep, Nu-metal, Otep Shamaya screams as if she is a possessed, sings and raps. 2. Sunk Anansie, Alternative rock/metal, Skin sings clean, can hit the harsh vocals, raps and shared the stage with Pavarotti.
Thank you for this reaction, Sohyang is a beautiful, accomplished young vocalist. Whitney Houston did an amazing performance of this song, but my favorite has always been Dolly Parton. When you know the story behind why Dolly wrote this song, and sang it for Porter Waggoner, you understand the pure feeling that Dolly is expressing through this song.
Please revisit Devin Townsend. Would love to see what you think of his incredible, powerful delivery of The Death of Music (live at Royal Albert). Even he gets goosebumps in the performance. Greatest live performance ever recorded.
Hi Elizabeth, I’ve just watched your reactions to So Hyang’s 5 songs. I loved and very much appreciated your professional analysis and ability of catching So Hyang’s sincere personality and purpose of comforting people with her voice. I believe you are also the same kind of warm and great person as well as an excellent pro. May I recommend you to watch So Hyang’s cover ‘I have nothing’ (Whitney Houston)? I am so confident you’d love it very much too. Also, if you can, please react to another best artist from South Korea, called Forestella. It is a group of four men, all handsome, classic trained, talented performers. You will enjoy their performances and like them very much. Thank you and I hope I can see your reactions to them soon~
Oh that’s interesting about Dolly Parton, I did not know that. Sohyang’s rendition was indeed amazing, and got chills a few times, especially the quieter first section. Elizabeth, you should check out Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds playing Into my Arms live in Copenhagen. A simple but pure love song with so much emotion, and terrific crowd participation.
Sohyang is certainly talented! Nice. The song has now been covered numerous times, of course. This version is a mix between the pared down arrangement of the original and Whitney Houston's big vocals, and I think it makes for an effective rendition.
I'm case you're no aware, she's also heavily involved in arranging everything she sings too. She always brings something a bit different to her covers.
Sohynag is not kind of a korean mariah carry or something. Sohyang is just sohyang... if you little dare don't agree with that... U'd better not react sohyang or U'll regret it.

Yuup. I did know That ^^
This is not cover Whitney because original song was singed by Dolly Parton. Whitney sang a cover.
Another song very much associated with Whitney Houston is "I Have Nothing". Sohyang's version at DMC Festival 2015 shows she can be a vocal beast. There are 2 videos of this stunning live performance, which you should review:
th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html Broadcast version
th-cam.com/video/CFtRUSPxcas/w-d-xo.html Camera only on Sohyang
BTW, Whitney's former manager saw this and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. Foster eventually connected with Sohyang, and they performed 8 shows in 4 days at Blue Note Tokyo (Dec 2018).
Foster cowrote the song, and arranged and produced it for Whitney, who sang it for her role in the movie "The Bodyguard".
Since you have found Begin Again Korea (BAK) and you have mentioned Ella Fitzgerald, consider listening to a short jazz cover by Sohyang.

Add to it that more than likely English is her second language the clarity of her voice, the emotion, I don't think she deserves the title Korean Mariah Carey because I think she's better than Maria Carey is.
Oh she's definately without a doubt better than Mariah Carey.
Mariah doesn’t even reach her ankles.
Way better than Mariah! 👍
Mariah was better in her prime
그래도 전성기로 보면 머라이어캐리가 더 잘부르는거같아요..😂

Thanks so much for coming back to this artist! So Hyang is the best female voice on the planet IMO. She can sing anything, and when she isn't battling the effects of pneumonia (which she was here, actually, not long before), she is the most dynamic singer I've heard in a long life of gravitating toward the female voice. Here she is singing sitting down on a dock in the wind. Absolutely unbelievable. What separates her from the very best technical singers on the planet is her sincerity, her genuine delivery. Evidently this is her very much as a human. What a treasure to hear her in America on TH-cam! Just 'Wow'.

The lady's name is Lee Hi, and she is an incredible singer in her own right. Her song 'Breathe' (in Korean) is worthy of a reaction, either her version or So Hyang's version of that same song. Both are incredibly emotional.
For context, this show normally follows well known singers to different countries in street busking situations. This season was filmed during the pandemic entirely in Korea and this particular performance was at Korea's largest steel mill and was the first after So Hyang joined the cast. The cast is typically a bunch of "juniors" who are relatively young/current stars with at least one "senior" who is a veteran that older folks can easily relate to. This is the first time So Hyang performed after joining the cast mid-season and you can see how in awe the Juniors are as she does things with her voice that they never even thought possible, and for the rest of the season they made similar expressions of wonder. She really is a treasure and I hope she recovers from her current bout of Covid soon as the world is a much better place when she's sharing her gift with the rest of us.
I am so happy you did So Hyang's cover of I Will Always Love You. I had a feeling you would love this. I heard many pro singers and amateur singers cover this legendary song but only So Hyang's version makes me tear up and feel comforted like how this song was meant to be. Greeat reaction as always. Take care.
One of the few singers THAT easily capable of giving me goosebumps every time they sing.
I also noticed how much (and how easily) she played around with vibrato.
Sohyang does a Bridge Over Troubled Water cover that brings me to tears every time I hear it. She is an incredible talent.
i believe that's been covered here. :)
I grew up listening to that song, my mother absolutely adored Simon and Garfunkel. The girl absolutely nailed it and brought tears to my eyes, my mother would have loved it
Hi @Leslie Hamilton. Yes, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is awesome. Here's the link to the reaction: th-cam.com/video/AxXuJshHA4Q/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! ❤

Sohyang played saxphone solo part…that is amazing….
So glad I joined today, what an incredible voice and cover. She has the lightest touch yet the impact she evokes is so powerful. Thank you Elizabeth!
She’s one of the best vocalists of all time.. thank you sm for reacting and analyzing her performances
I also had tears in my eyes listening to this. I’ve loved her singing for a long time but I had never heard/seen this video before. Thank you for your informative reaction.
Sohyang only voiced 30% of her voice in Begin Again Korea, but she was amazing with more than 100% of others.Queen Sohyang Amazing💖💖💖
You will enjoy listening to the Dolly Parton original recording - because here Sohyang is doing it justice with her unmatched ability. Notice also that she SANG the Saxophone solo. Amazing.
Cheers.
For me it's always been Dolly Partons song but this is amazing.
@@toni6053 Well, yes. I guess Whitney's fan base is enough different from Dolly's that they never knew where it came from. Lots of giant hits are like that. the person who wrote it or first performed it gets little credit. "Unchained Melody" is an example. A man named Alex North wrote it for a prison movie. Todd Duncan sang it. Who knew?
Cheers.
I got to admit I've always liked Dolly's version best, but grew up slow dancing to Whitneys version.
Great memories
looks like we are a bit "old" ?
Is a Dolly Parton´s song Whitney did a cover !!!
@@jamesbondbond8388 I know, I'm that old, we danced to original 🤣
과연 누가 야외에서 라이브로 저렇게 완벽하게 노래할수 있을까요. 현존 최고입니다. 갓소향!
Hell yeah, thank you, before even listening yet. A for what it's worth...Misty from begin again korea is even better. It's pure bliss. Just read the comments section on it for an idea. Fate from I am singer is beyond them both and just up there near her top... yeah it's just so cool. Finally Breathe from masked singer, as well as Home just below it, are among her best. There is pure head voice magic in those two. Breathe making recent reactors tear up. Fate half the audience. It's sweet you got another one of hers in with this one but don't stop now, cause the best is still out there. I mean she is so special it's not like there's "too much" lol. Plus those there aren't like some and get a bit too much belt time. You can listen to them again and again. The masked singer show of her performances is full of that. Epic different stuff. Mona Lisa will blow your mind too. And she made rap epic in Day Day.
OMG " Misty " from Sohyang please is amazing performance. Thank you LOVE
At 67 have always considered the top female singers in history, equally great. Then I heard and felt Kim Sohyang. My one true love.
What a gorgeous and lovely reaction to SoHyang, Elizabeth.! It's been a while since you did react to her song Everyone! But I know how much you love SoHyang!
Her singing ability to convey emotions can't be matched by anyone on earth! It's really touch my heart and soul!! Your analysis and reaction to SoHyang are so accurate and super cool as always!! Please, keep react to more SoHyang' singing "You raise me up(Immortal song 2 2018)". Take care!
The thing that sold this performance to me, outside of the nuances she adds to every phrase, is how she did that saxophone solo with her voice instead of letting a saxophonists play it for her. What a musician!
If you ever get to the Dolly version you kinda have to look at the full version of course but the bit she sings in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas REALLY drives home the meaning. You really feel it almost like she is holding back tears. Other people may possibly be "better" singers than her but very few singers really make you feel it like she does.
@Philip Chilvers she probably didn't want Elvis to do her songs because he was a horrible person.
@@BrianRRenfro No, she didn't allow Elvis to cover it because his manager, the crook "Colonel" Tom Parker, insisted that she would have to sign over the rights to the song. Dolly was & is a LOT more savvy than Parker gave her credit for. She allowed Whitney Houston to cover it without signing away her ownership of the copyright & made a literal fortune in royalties.

The girl with the faces is actually an amazing singer with one of the most beautiful tones I've honestly ever heard! Her name is Lee Hi, I highly recommend listening to any live of hers to be honest that's how good she is, a personal favorite of mine is her song Breathe because of the words and meaning, written by late Korean legend Jonghyun who was also an amazing vocalist, highly recommend his live of Y Si Fuera Ela, and also member of one the og legends of Kpop, often called the princes of Kpop, Shinee!! I recommend reacting to both of them as they are such great singers also from South Korea.
I just went out and listened to Lee Hi and Jonghyun both. You weren't kidding. I now also recommend reacting to them as well!!!
@@dougel4709 See!!! They're amazing, Lee Hi's tone gotta be one of the most gorgeous tones I've ever listened to, and Jonghyun's too, just so unique, such a high quality vocalist, no wonder he's considered one of the best, the man was a beast when it came to vocals, and not only that he was also a beast in composing as well! Truly the whole package, just an amazing musician we unfortunately lost but his legacy still stays strong and his music continues to comfort me whenever I'm down so wherever he is singing with the stars i just hope knows how much he's loved and admired by so many of us 🤍
You will fall into a gunshot the moment you hear this singer's song! korea Killing Voice ❤️Lee Hi

One of my very favorite performances on TH-cam. Would love to hear something recent from Sohyang. Anyone know where she is and what's she's up to?
Sohyang has recovered a lot from Covid. It seems that she will attend several concerts in Korea from this week.
I've heard that she has recently been diagnosed with Covid. This is no joke for someone like her whose immune system has been compromised. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her.
@@pacogomez1707 Absolutely, Paco. For anyone who doesn't know, Sohyang was diagnosed with cancer 20+ years ago. Keeping her in my prayers!
@@Hopefully_Sohyang That is the best news I've heard in a while! So glad COVID did not hit her as hard as I feared! Thanks you for the info!
Sohyang is performing this Wednesday and Saturday. She posted a video yesterday about her health. In short, she said she was fine and to not worry too much. She's been studying in her free time during this period. This is the video th-cam.com/video/Womanyf_lQw/w-d-xo.html
That ending reminded me of Dolly. The runs made me feel like I was listening to a jazz version and the sustained bits like Whitney’s version this is truly special. Thank you for your reaction and yes I did notice you not stopping but I figured it was because why interrupt greatness?
Yes, this is So Hyang. One of the best vocalists in the world. And she really brings comfort with her voice!
How have I not seen/heard this until now? I'm a SoHyang fan since way back! (Since masked singer, sickest Mona Lisa rendition) but this... is siiiick! So delicate and clean! Best "cover" ever!
Thank you, Elizabeth! I loved this performance, and Sohyang was Amazing!! Sending best wishes to you, Kirk, and Mycroft!!! 💙
Thank you, Kirby! ❤
So Hyang joined these young gifted musicians in 2020 after doing the King of Mask Competition in 2017 (edited comment to correct the dates) while still suffering the effects of pneumonia as part of her goal to bring comfort to those going through difficult times, (as she, herself was doing). She travelled, to this pier on a giant steel mill which could not shut down during the Covid-19 restrictions, so the workers really needed a lift, with a nebulizer to help her sing during her recovery. So her breath control here is even more amazing, and this was the last song of the set they performed for them. I think they performed another set that evening, testing her stamina even more. So, even at less than full strength, So Hyang produced some her most epic performances. We are so fortunate that these performances were recorded so well! Thanks for your heartfelt reaction!
Absolutely I agree with you. She always touches my heart and makes me cry.
Whenever I listen to her great songs, especially this song, l can't stop shedding tears in my eyes because it reminds me of my mother who passed away after suffering from incurable disease for a long time.
Thank you so much for great comments.
Have a nice day. 😊
She doesn’t have social medias ?
She had cancer
@@killermaffia007brb9 So Hyang had cancer at age 20 and the surgery rendered her sterile. Also, I think, she got hepatitis from a blood transfusion during or after the cancer surgery, which, they say, is why she is so susseptable to pnuemonia. And recently she was reported to have come down with Covid but she posted a video July 24 th-cam.com/video/Womanyf_lQw/w-d-xo.html showing her doing well. So Hyang has proven to be so strong and resiliant and I thank God for that! I pray she will be performing for many more years!
@@killermaffia007brb9 So Hyang doesn’t have her own social media but there are some fan media sites. There are 2 on Facebook I know of.
Great reaction, 👍 👍 👍Professional top analysis. 💯 thanks for sharing the video, Sohyang's amazing performance.♡
Sohyang is phenomenal.
It's a blessing to be able to hear her songs. For me she is an exception. Because she is incomparable to anyone else.
I'm not crying - YOU'RE CRYING!! Your enthusiasm for these vocalists really comes through in these videos. Kudos to you for keeping it professional, for not absolutely breaking into tears every time (like I do), when we can all see how emotional you are about these vocals.
The way she says kind it really is wonderful.
I'd like to see you react to her singing Breathe in the masked show if you wanna cry, or to Lean on me with Kirk Franklin if you wanna see her totally free.
Sohyang is an absolute angel! When she says, " I will always love you", you believe her. What a beautiful gift she is!
Looking forward to you reacting to The Darkness- “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” I think you’ll be impressed by Justin Hawkins vocal range!
Magnífica reacción. Sohyang, como siempre, maravillosa. No hay palabras para describirla
Muchos gracias! She is really a treasure! ❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice Gracias a ti por responder. Thanks to you for responding. Sorry, but I don´t speak english well
오래간만에 소향 리엑션이네요~~^^ 기대합니다~👍
Love this lady. A true pro. As a FYI, Diana Ankudinova has just teased her fans with a new, original (self written) ROCK song she has coming out shortly. She just put out a TH-cam short. Hope baby is healthy and well. :)
Yes, I've been waiting for this! Thank you.
That her longest held-out note with vibrato on "you" (at 20:40)- so technically beautiful, yet heartfelt and without artifice up until 20:48 where she changed the vibrato to a run at just the right place - was just the topping for me!
I wonder what would have been if Sohyang had grown up as an operatic voice with the same emotional expressiveness.
Oh myy worddd! She gave me goosebumps! She sounded just like Whitney is still heree!☹😥❤
Sohyang's vocals are divided into pre-pneumonia (2018) and post-pneumonia.
The vocals after being cured from pneumonia seem to have no disadvantages at all. Thank you for the reaction, Elizabeth. ♡ I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how to recommend another song!^^🥰
LOVE LOVE your sohyang reactions ❤ ♥, Best vocalist, performer, person, that ever walked the face of this planet in my opinion. Gift from God 😇. I love how she took on the sax solo in this, amazing! She sings with so much emotion! Always...makes you feel it. That's what separates her from everyone else. ❤❤❤
Brilliant cover!
One of your very best analyses, Elizabeth.
Your love of music never fails to impress.
Great job!
무반주로 부르는 음 만으로도 마치 반주를 한 것 같은 분위기를 줌..
거기다 중간에 옆의 가수들이 놀라는 포즈를 취한 건 감동해서가 아니라
섹소폰 파트를 오로지 화음으로만 불렀기 때문임..
원곡이 파워풀하다면 소향은 조용하고 부드럽게 부른 또 다른 매력이 있는 노래임
I had tears in my eyes from start to finish.
Elizabeth, you really should do analysis of a couple of songs by Dolly Parton. The woman is an absolute legend who transcends her usual genre and has one of the purest "sweet" type of voice in country and pop. She deserves to be included here.
💯% agree!
Definitely agree that we need some Dolly on this channel. I would include not just her solo songs but in particular the Trio recording (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt) of "The Sweetest Gift" (live). Some of the most spectacular harmony singing you'll ever hear.
I concur
9 to 5 please
Dolly Parton is a true Legend, as a singer, musician, songwriter and philanthropist.
Jesus Christ. I have goosebumps everywhere from the opening. Like on the top of my head. Never heard thus singer before. Holy hell
Sohyang's singing prowess extends beyond mere technical proficiency; she is a master at infusing her performances with genuine and heartfelt emotions. While her exceptional vocal techniques undoubtedly contribute to her artistry, it is her ability to connect with the music and convey deep emotions that truly sets her apart.
When Sohyang sings, her voice becomes a vehicle for expressing a wide range of emotions, from joy and love to sorrow and longing. Her ability to connect with the lyrics and the essence of a song allows her to deliver performances that touch the hearts of her listeners. Through her vocal nuances, phrasing, and subtle vocal inflections, she brings authenticity and vulnerability to her interpretations.
Sohyang's performances are marked by her capacity to evoke powerful emotions in her audience. Her voice carries the weight of her experiences and captures the essence of the songs she sings. Whether she is delivering a poignant ballad or an uplifting anthem, she has the ability to move her listeners to tears or fill them with a sense of hope and inspiration.
She can make the most beautiful and efficient sound that can be made in one breath.
And every time she makes that breath into a beautiful sound without leaving a single breath. I'm so proud that I've been a fan of Sohyang for 12 years.
Thank u for ur reaction~~^^
I get teary listening to her voice. She has such an incredible instrument and so much control, she’s amazing .
She has spirit, talent, beautiful tone, angelic voice color and tireless effort for her song. She is the best singer in 21th century.
그누가 소향의 노래에 태클을 달겠는가 그녀는 천사의 목소리와 신의 축복을 받고 있다.라이브를 이정도로 하는 가수를 본적이 없다.
구독을 안 할 수가 없는 열정적이고 고퀄의 리액션이네요. 소향은 노래가 아닌 멜로디로 그림을 그리는 예술가인듯요. 감사히 잘 봤습니다.^^♡
마음이 전해지는 리액션.. 굿입니다~^^*
This voice is her instrument.
Day 2 of asking for Alison Krauss and Union Station
Pleeeease, as a professional Opera singer, you have to listen to Mario del Monaco singing Norma!! Maybe you already know him idk, but your video-reaction would make me sooo happy and also you would promote the lost art of declamatory singing!
Sohyang has one really up tempo song in her repertoire (that I'm aware of) called Day Day. Also a chance to hear her harmonize with other singers if you use the Begin Again Korea version.
Obviously Dolly had the true version…. and Whitney did have a lovely voice…. But this woman???? ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING!
I’m a 56 year old bloke and I’m weeping!
I've heard this song countless times and it's the first time I've actually felt it. (No shade at Whitney, to be clear.)
Is a Dolly Parton song , Whitney did a cover
@@jamesbondbond8388
Amazing isn't it.
Amazing thing is that
she vocalized
saxphone part due to no
instrument.
Love Hate Love - Alice in Chains. LIVE AT MOORE PLACE. If you do it and are not impressed then I will donate 200 bucks to a charity of your choice lol.
@Elisabeth is there any chance I could get you to dive into Serj Tankian's solo work like "empty walls" or "lie, lie, lie"? Maybe even "sky is over" or "saving us"... *plead*
If you get enough likes for your suggestion and have a little patience, there may be an Elizabeth Analysis 🙂
Very possibly. We have another SOAD coming, but I do want to hear Serj's solo stuff. I'm also working on trying to get him on for a Tea Time, so. If that happens, I'll absolutely delve into his solo work!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Serj on Team time! OMG! :)))
The young lady who's face the camera kept focusing on for reactions is Lee Hi. And between them is Lee Suhyun. Both of them are excellent vocalists as well! Just watch ALL the Begin Again performances. You won't regret it.
I just watched Lee Hi's performance of "Breath" per another fan's comment. Soooo good!!!!
@@dougel4709 That song was written for her. She won awards with it.
I was just re-watching all your Sohyang reactions, in the order that you made them & as this was your last one I realised just how long ago we last heard this wonderful woman on your channel.
I could name any Sohyang performance, 100% confident she would blow you away again but I have 2 particular performances, that are very different, in mind that I really hope you find the time, with all the other things you have to do, to react to at least one, hopefully both, at some time please,please,please X 1,000,000 🙏
The first performance is again from this ‘Begin again’ series but at a different venue/day. The performance in question is her rendition of Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Misty’ (originally by Johnny Mathis) & I ask for this because I would like your thoughts on yet another genre of music being tackled by Sohyang. I personally think that jazz is really difficult to sing well compared to most other genre’s, it seems to have its own rules!
Secondly, a duet, which you haven’t done before, her performance of ‘wildflower’ with a very nice baritone (I think!!) who’s name I can never remember. It is very different to ‘Misty’, not just in genre, but it is back to the ‘immortal songs’ series for TV with an orchestra etc, as the majority of your previous reactions have been, but bang up to date. I have seen numerous duets involving Sohyang & I’m always amazed that although it’s obvious that she is vocally superior, I never get the feeling that she’s trying to outshine her partner ( who I have also seen performing on their own in most cases) & more like she is enhancing their performance & I would just like your opinion, afterall you’re the expert.
I think the time is now right for you to have another, hopefully 2, new Sohyang reactions on your channel, afterall, surely you can never have too much sohyang in your life & I know for sure that I am not your only subscriber that’s feels as I do.
I wait in hope. Keep up all your good work, you make a difference.
Just learned of her a week ago. She is phenomenal singer. A South Korean singer-songwriter who has been dubbed by the international media as the "Korean Mariah Carey"
Lol much better than Mariah but not as good as Whitney was.
You literally copy and pasted the last part from her Wiki. WTF 😂
@@umainebearman SFW are you the channel's police? 🚨😂
Welcome to Sohyang's world. Sohyang is a lot more than her Wiki page.
@@pryme2013 I feel she is better overall than Whitney was live, and I love Whitney. This lady's vocals are insane. This song is on the gentler side for So Hyang and she had been sick with pneumonia. The thing about Whitney is that her live performances paled compared to her studio work -- I have watched so many TH-cam performances of her over the years in live settings. So Hyang seems to be a master with live vocals. Just my opinion. I know a lot of people would disagree, but many would agree as well.
I prefer this version to Whitney Houston's . That said, I still much prefer the original by Dolly Parton.
Oh my god! I didn’t know this was happening!!!!!!! Yes!!!!
One of the most interesting things I see here is she's sitting in chair cross-legged and has such perfect pitch and breath control.
She even covered saxophone solo part with her voice... Try "Misty" on Begin Again program.
I second that!
third, here!! ;) also amazing grace from her!!
Yes "MISTY" OMG
It's amazing how many songs - songs that, either, made an artist famous or boosted their credentials - aren't written by that artist. Still, it's, always, great to see other people's take. Dolly's is a great version.
Lots. Nothing compares to you was written by Prince. Most don’t know that I’ve found.
@@pryme2013 That's funny; I've known that for years. The one's that, really, got me were the ones I didn't see coming: Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation' and 'I love Rock n Roll; Quiet Riot's covers of Slade's 'Cum on Feel The Noize' and 'Mama We All Crazy Now.' These were the most successful songs from these artists. I'm not agains an artist covering another's material; but for so long, it was never known. For the number of times I've heard 'I love Rock n Roll' on the radio, no disc-jockey ever mentioned it was written by Jake Hooker and Alan Merril. That would've been nice.
So excited to see you reacting to Sohyang. Your reactions are so good as we rarely get to see a proper analysis.
와우~!!! 리액터님의 진심이 아주 쎄게 느껴져서 보는 저도 감동 만배라오. 허허허
Dolly Parton is a miraculous human. I like to think that Porter Wagoner ultimately realized the significance of having this stunning expression of love and respect written for him. The setting of this performance provides a surreal reflection on the industrial-strength, global impact of Sohyang's utter commitment to the moment. It would have somehow felt different if it had been filmed at Carnegie Hall, or a mega-sporting/entertainment/political event. I'm fascinated by the audience-and their stories-almost as much as by the sublime talent of 김소향, and the love that shines toward her from her fellow performers. I've never seen anything like it!
I just can't imagine when you finally come across Misty from begin again korea... Breathe from masked singer... and Fate from I am singer. Those three especially. In the magic department they smoke this one. She has some kinda meh ones that get recommended a lot...power of love... amazing grace....there are just a few I hope don't get in the way of experiencing those three mentioned asap. And Home for that matter. Watch the original singer of Home and how cool that song is and imagine what Sohyang does to it. That's the thing some songs just ain't going to showcase her or as much and I Will Always Love You actually doesn't in a way. Yet it's still as good as it is. But well yeah wait till you get to a few of those that really do. Like Arirang does and Bridge does but I mean differently. I listen to too much Sohyang.
Yes, I agree, this is a beautiful version, but in those songs she seems even more incredible. Best female voice on earth! She truly could sing the phone book.
I actually believe So Hyang is better than Mariah Carey
She is. But not better than Whitney was.
@@pryme2013 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Agreed 💯😉🥰 The amazing thing about Whitney, was that she never sang the song like she recorded it, when she would sing live. This artist is very talented, but there will never be another artist like the VOICE😉 Blessings and abundance to you! #NippyForever ❤️💜♥️💜
@@pryme2013 Sorry, but she is! Technically better, live better. Just my opinion, but many will agree. Go listen to Whitney live. It was nothing like her studio work. This woman is the real deal live.
The appreciation for Sohyang and the music she brings to nurture the soul comes across well. As a non-specialist I believe that she richly deserves the accolades you shower on her - certainly listening to her singing is a blessing to me.
1. Otep, Nu-metal, Otep Shamaya screams as if she is a possessed, sings and raps.
2. Sunk Anansie, Alternative rock/metal, Skin sings clean, can hit the harsh vocals, raps and shared the stage with Pavarotti.
Otep was Tatyana from Jinjer's inspiration! I love Otep, friends with her on FB, she's a force to be reckoned with 😁
Thank you for this reaction, Sohyang is a beautiful, accomplished young vocalist. Whitney Houston did an amazing performance of this song, but my favorite has always been Dolly Parton. When you know the story behind why Dolly wrote this song, and sang it for Porter Waggoner, you understand the pure feeling that Dolly is expressing through this song.
정말 고마워요
최고의 리액션이네요 :)
Please revisit Devin Townsend. Would love to see what you think of his incredible, powerful delivery of The Death of Music (live at Royal Albert). Even he gets goosebumps in the performance. Greatest live performance ever recorded.
Heavenly Voice, Amazing singer ! out of this world !!! 😍🤩😘
Hi Elizabeth,
I’ve just watched your reactions to So Hyang’s 5 songs. I loved and very much appreciated your professional analysis and ability of catching So Hyang’s sincere personality and purpose of comforting people with her voice. I believe you are also the same kind of warm and great person as well as an excellent pro.
May I recommend you to watch So Hyang’s cover ‘I have nothing’ (Whitney Houston)? I am so confident you’d love it very much too.
Also, if you can, please react to another best artist from South Korea, called Forestella. It is a group of four men, all handsome, classic trained, talented performers. You will enjoy their performances and like them very much.
Thank you and I hope I can see your reactions to them soon~
Pls listen to Sohyang - Fate honestly breathtaking. Never heard of a better singer in my life
우리야 평범한 사람들이기에 단지 소향의 노래가 좋다고 느끼지만
리액션하면서 전율하는 모습을 보니 전문가로서 훨씬 디테일하게
느낄 수 있는 요소들이 많은 것 같습니다.
여러 번 보는 리액션이지만 그럼에도 볼 요소가 많아 좋습니다. 감사합니다.
Oh that’s interesting about Dolly Parton, I did not know that. Sohyang’s rendition was indeed amazing, and got chills a few times, especially the quieter first section. Elizabeth, you should check out Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds playing Into my Arms live in Copenhagen. A simple but pure love song with so much emotion, and terrific crowd participation.
Sohyang is certainly talented! Nice. The song has now been covered numerous times, of course. This version is a mix between the pared down arrangement of the original and Whitney Houston's big vocals, and I think it makes for an effective rendition.
I'm case you're no aware, she's also heavily involved in arranging everything she sings too. She always brings something a bit different to her covers.
She is channeling the spirit of Whitney!
Hi Elisabeth, your video lightened my day ! I've already watched this song from Sohyang, and I forgot how soothing it was. Have a nice day
고맙습니다... 🙌👍😭...
She makes it seem so easy to sing like that. I hope I will be able to sing beautiflly in another life 😅
좋은 노래를 함께 즐겨주셔서 감사합니다
당신의 리엑션은 진심이 느껴집니다
다른 영상도 기대하겠습니다
Thank you! This was a very fun song and a great singer to analyze. ❤
Sohynag is not kind of a korean mariah carry or something.
Sohyang is just sohyang... if you little dare don't agree with that... U'd better not react sohyang or U'll regret it.
Yep, I'm crying...
소향님이 노래하는 이유 중에 사람들을 '위로'하기 위함이라는 말씀에 동감합니다.
please next reacts to so hyang 'amazing grace'
