Amazing performance. She made it her own but still gave credit to the original. Fun fact. So Hyang has the most reaction videos made of this song on youtube. Also the most view counts on reaction videos of I Have Nothing belongs to her including the original artist.
Ken, Thanks for a Sohyang performance. By now you probably know that Sohyang is South Korean. Her full name is Kim So Hyang. In Korea they cite the surname first. Her stage name is Sohyang. Note: best English pronunciation is probably 'so yong'. This is my personal favorite of Sohyang's most spectacular stage appearances. To hear her sing is a rare privilege, but it is vital that one see her as well. This performance is the proof. She is at the top of her form here. if you watch her closely, she is at times; glamorous, beautiful, playful, cute, charming, dramatic, friendly, happy, serious, connected, energetic, and in absolute control of the musical arrangement, the musicians, the stage, and the audience. By the way, her belt buckle is embossed with the word POWER. Fitting - I think you will agree. Next? "Dream" (from the same concert in the same dress). Cheers.
We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks five languages: Korean, English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading Greek! Let me catch my breath. OK. She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia. She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.html She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere! She just turned 45 on April 5, 2023, though in Korean culture she would be 46 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone,” their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527 While being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on TH-cam. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on TH-cam and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for some of her songs, wrote "I Have Nothing," her most iconic song, and is the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas. Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: th-cam.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/w-d-xo.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203 She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. th-cam.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/w-d-xo.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no interactive social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! And whether Sohyang likes it or not, fame has found her, run her over and then backed up and run over her again! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995 “Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said. “I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.” “And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via TH-cam, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.” Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings. • First is a type of Korean traditional music. • Second is to burn incense on a burner. • Third is to go toward. But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Her grandmother named her. Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: th-cam.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/w-d-xo.html Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918 And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334 Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: th-cam.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/w-d-xo.html Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448 And finally “Will You Be There”: th-cam.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/w-d-xo.html Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: th-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/w-d-xo.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews. OK, I’ll stop gushing now. Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: th-cam.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/w-d-xo.html I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean stage production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Mermaid" 'about one hundred times' when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has an outgoing and bubbly personality. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently! Though she is maybe 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way. I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
김소향 (Kim, So-hyang) is a South Korean singer who uses 소향 (Sohyang) as her stage name. She's up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Céline Dion, according to David Foster, who worked with all of them, plus other big names in the music industry, such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Jackson. In fact, many vocal coaches and critics call her the Queen, and Dimash the King. Here are several links to excellent performances by Sohyang. Many are from competitions where she pulls out all the stops and goes into vocal beast mode. The last 5 are more restrained. You can alternate between the styles, just to experience the contrasts and see her range of abilities. All are live, except for a music video of "Never Enough" (since we can never get enough of Sohyang). DMC Festival: th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html "I Have Nothing" [Whitney Houston] th-cam.com/video/CFtRUSPxcas/w-d-xo.html (camera only on Sohyang) th-cam.com/video/n71eIWRmEtY/w-d-xo.html "꿈 (Dream)" [소향 (Sohyang)] {Korean} Immortal Songs 2: th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html "Bridge Over Troubled Water" [Simon & Garfunkel] th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html "홀로 아리랑 (Arirang Alone)" [traditional Korean folksong, lyrics adapted for reunification of North & South Koreas] {Korean} th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html "Lean On Me" [Bill Withers, Jr.; Michael Bolton guest] th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.html "You Raise Me Up" [Secret Garden; Shane Filan (Westlife) guest] th-cam.com/video/H5e7MPre7iY/w-d-xo.html "여러분 (Everyone)" [윤복희 (Yoon, Bok-hee)] {Korean, English} I Am A Singer 2: th-cam.com/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/w-d-xo.html "O Holy Night" [Adolphe Charles Adam] King of Masked Singers: th-cam.com/video/a_lOAgti7XQ/w-d-xo.html "모나리자 (Mona Lisa)" [조용필 (Cho, Yong-pil)] {Korean, English} th-cam.com/video/0qBSPPi3ESM/w-d-xo.html "Home (집)" [박효신 (Park, Hyo-shin)] {Korean, English} Begin Again Korea: th-cam.com/video/lSzb6a0PkQU/w-d-xo.html "Flashlight" with Lee Suhyun [Jessie J] th-cam.com/video/_ivvpK3UMlw/w-d-xo.html "Misty" [Ella Fitzgerald] th-cam.com/video/DO845EqU3eE/w-d-xo.html "I Will Always Love You" [Dolly Parton] th-cam.com/video/k5WqGIPjqtc/w-d-xo.html "Never Enough" [Loren Allred] Open Concert: th-cam.com/video/vZyIdoRRKFo/w-d-xo.html "The Power of Love" [Jennifer Rush] BTW, Whitney's former manager saw the DMC Festival video of Sohyang singing "I Have Nothing", and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. He invited her to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. Foster co-wrote that song. He arranged and produced it for Whitney for her album, and her performance in "The Bodyguard". Foster has won 16 Grammy Awards, including 3 for Producer of the Year, and has been nominated a total of 47 times.
SoHyang is in a class of her own! Her live performances are top-notch. She always gives 110% and never disappoints! And your piano playing was a delight to listen to..👌
You have to listen. Michael Bolton had a concert in Korea 2023, and she sang "Oh Holy Night" there, which was so powerful. th-cam.com/video/XCRT1qrNdIE/w-d-xo.html Another is "Upon this Rock," which she sang at the concert. th-cam.com/video/m9gSi3yk6g0/w-d-xo.html The next is "One Million Roses" which was performed on a TV show. th-cam.com/video/jlwSekk2AH0/w-d-xo.html And she sang 'Part of your world', the OST of The Little Mermaid, on a TV show. th-cam.com/video/w_0Leem8UeQ/w-d-xo.html And recently, she performed a song 'Higher' that she made. th-cam.com/video/Of08aublKTE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ChvPdY_DNqeF7ryH The last is "Easy on me" This is her busking performance. She is a superstar, but she sings on both big and small stages. th-cam.com/video/sxaV21Si0s0/w-d-xo.html [Sohyang List] - You raise me up (Immortal songs 2) - Bridge over troubled water (Immortal songs 2) - I have nothing (I am a singer legend) - Lean on me (Immortal songs 2) - I'll always love you (begin again Korea) - Oh holy night (I am a singer 2) - Everyone (Immortal songs 2) - Arirang alone (Immortal songs 2) - Power of love (2014 live) - Never enough (begin again Korea) - Misty (begin again Korea) - I'll be there (begin again Korea) - I won't give up (Open Concert) - Amazing Grace (Global Church Blessing 2020) - Mona lisa (King Of Masked Singer) - Fate (I am a singer 2) - Wild flower (Immortal songs 2) - Where are you (I am a singer 2) - Dear love (King Of Masked Singer) - Never Ending story (I am a singer 2) - If I ain't got you (begin again Korea) - The prayer (Jeong Ui Geun & So hyang) - My favorite things (begin again Korea) - As I live (I am a singer 2) - Breathe (King Of Masked Singer)
I know you like Sohyang so she has quite recently written and performed a song called Freedom as part of her Christian PETRA performances. Here she is singing (and also did the backing track) with a couple of her collaborators who also have astonishing voices. Really worth a look at as its different to the performances you have seen so far. Link th-cam.com/video/5-WPK-DlZ3Y/w-d-xo.html

Ken, Thanks for a Sohyang performance. By now you probably know that Sohyang is South Korean. Her full name is Kim So Hyang. In Korea they cite the surname first. Her stage name is Sohyang.

To hear her sing is a rare privilege, but it is vital that one see her as well. This performance is the proof. She is at the top of her form here. if you watch her closely, she is at times; glamorous, beautiful, playful, cute, charming, dramatic, friendly, happy, serious, connected, energetic, and in absolute control of the musical arrangement, the musicians, the stage, and the audience.

BTW, Whitney's former manager saw the DMC Festival video of Sohyang singing "I Have Nothing", and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. He invited her to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. Foster co-wrote that song. He arranged and produced it for Whitney for her album, and her performance in "The Bodyguard". Foster has won 16 Grammy Awards, including 3 for Producer of the Year, and has been nominated a total of 47 times.

Please do bridge over troubled water by Sohyang. You will be very impressed and also there’s a piano as well
Welcome back to The Forces of Heaven from Sohyang 🎉😅
Thanks from Perú 😊
소향님의 노래에 반응해주셔서
감사합니다^^
Thanks for reacting to Queen Sohyang!
And the beautiful playing!
SoHyang is in a class of her own! Her live performances are top-notch. She always gives 110% and never disappoints! And your piano playing was a delight to listen to..👌
I love Sohyang ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Yeah she's insane. By the way, I love the you let the whole song play, but be careful about copyright.
한국 최고의 가수따위가 아님
이 행성 최고의 가수임.
외계에서 연구할 만한
You have to listen. Michael Bolton had a concert in Korea 2023, and she sang "Oh Holy Night" there, which was so powerful. th-cam.com/video/XCRT1qrNdIE/w-d-xo.html
Another is "Upon this Rock," which she sang at the concert. th-cam.com/video/m9gSi3yk6g0/w-d-xo.html
The next is "One Million Roses" which was performed on a TV show. th-cam.com/video/jlwSekk2AH0/w-d-xo.html
And she sang 'Part of your world', the OST of The Little Mermaid, on a TV show.

And recently, she performed a song 'Higher' that she made.

The last is "Easy on me" This is her busking performance. She is a superstar, but she sings on both big and small stages. th-cam.com/video/sxaV21Si0s0/w-d-xo.html

소향을 넘 늦게 아셨네요
반응 감사합니다
Great reactions as always!. Will you also react to Katrina Velarde and Jessica Villarubin covering Air Supply songs Medley. Thanks
goodjob bro 😎👍
Her voice is perfect 😱😱
incredible
Great stuff, Ken. Amazing jam session.
I know you like Sohyang so she has quite recently written and performed a song called Freedom as part of her Christian PETRA performances. Here she is singing (and also did the backing track) with a couple of her collaborators who also have astonishing voices. Really worth a look at as its different to the performances you have seen so far. Link th-cam.com/video/5-WPK-DlZ3Y/w-d-xo.html
와우~ 피아노 실력이~~~ 색다른 리액션~ 감사해요~~~ 멋집니다~
한국에서 감동 먹는 중~~~... 고맙습니다.

반응하기전에 artist가 어느 국적인지도 모르고 영상 보내나요!??
최소한 국적이 어디고 살아온 삶에대해 말을하고 해야지 그냥 무턱대고 아무 나라나 말을 하면 어떡하나요!??
크나큰 실수를 하는거임,,
