EXO has many songs that Are really hard to perform. EXO chose "Lucky one" themselves as the hardest song so perform. Thanks for making videos about EXO again.🙏
@@manogaming6534Oh let me guess... You're clearly a fan of one of the two most popular groups. only their fans (not all) consider it necessary to write something unpleasant under a comment praising someone other than their favorite group. I'm sure I didn't miss.
When it comes to 3rd gen boy group and it is DANCE+VOCALS...no one can beat EXO....they are king for a reason vocal king indeed...and OG live performer ❤
They are gd too No hate but seventeen also have hard dance + powerful and beautiful 13vocals+ synchronised grp in kpop+ facial and enjoyable, powerful stage presence. It's my opinion no hate to other grp
EXO's: Drop That, Run This, Keep on Dancing, Bring Out the Beast, Two Moons, Transformer, Lightsaber, Machine, Monster, and legendary Wolf. Others are: EXO-CBX singles, etc.
I see some comments saying "this group's song is harder" but let us not forget and remind ourselves that songs that have fast and complicated choreographies are most likely not live. Most kpop songs that lean heavily on heavy dancing are NOT MEANT to be sang live but more on entertainment purposes. No vocalist in this world could dance fast and sing like it sounds so smooth and clean with no inconsistencies.
This is so true, you need to have a good balance in order to be able to give a good live performance. What's the point of an impressive choreography if they never sing live?
Ateez solved that by giving their main vocal special parts of the choreo that let him catch his breath. You'll hear the others running and jumping while singing live though, with and without a backing track, like on Immortal Songs. They never lipsync. Still, sometimes it costs them, they infamously had their health team waiting for them behind the scenes with oxygen during the Guerrilla promo run.
I thought Shinee's would be Lucifer tbh. There's a concert where they performed Ring Ding Dong and Lucifer back to back and Jonghyun held that high note for so long it's just godlike. EXO really goated with Monster. They had a concert where they opened with Mama, Monster, and Wolf back to back, and it was freaking amazing.
I think bc of the increase in intensity of dancing in later years, the older songs don’t hold up as well in comparison to difficulty. But I def agree that was an intense performance! Also was surprised Everybody was not considered LOL
I think sherlock at 2013 GDA is more impressive, the vocals are turned way up and it has one of the most active choreos, whenever a member has a line theres individual choreo at the same time
What I would give to experience monster for the first time again 😭 like that is pop perfection from start to finish. mt everest of kpop is probably the best way to describe it
Definitely more of exo's song are hard to cover because of highnote that only Chen and Baekhyun can sing ,vocal run and riffs that only d.o can do and Acapella only exo 😊😊 then SHINee,btob also,mamamoo
During his solo comeback this year, an interviewer asked Onew about the difficulties of singing and dancing live. He literally was like “I don’t know how to answer this. It’s something we’ve always done” 😂
During second gen, I remember thinking most groups were lip syncing and I was fine with it because they were dancing but then I saw a Shinee performance (can’t recall the song) and was shocked that they were singing live and dancing and it raised my standards.
People often forget SHINee are the reason why idols ended up being considered as valuable dancers. Before them, only BoA was really considered as a 'real dancer'. SHINee changed it with Lucifer, and birthed dance-focused groups. Was surprised to see their most recent song, but their whole discography is full of hard songs... Like of course Lucifer, but also Sherlock and Everybody are top 3 to me. I'm especially fond of these old Sherlock lives... Like they were so young but so so good, it always makes me a tad bit emotional. EXO are also so good lives ! They were my first K-Pop group with B.A.P, and I'm always so fond of their lives (real lives) performances. I've been listening to their songs for 11 years, and I still don't know who my favorite EXO vocalist is... Like these days I'm more D.O biased, but really, it's unstable... And Monster is my favorite title track, everything in it sounds so good to my ears, I can't get enough of it é.è I love ATEEZ too ! I have lots of friends who love them, so I ended up listening to them a lot by default. Their dances seem so hard, I'm always watching them in awe. They are for sure one of the strongest boygroups of 4th gen, they deserves all their flowers, they are truly talented. They just give what they promised, like their performances are strong and energetic... I do have lots of affection for them.
1. Shinee has always been that good since their debut. Ofc as part of second gen they would most likely do their songs live. But other than that, they really dance well and strongly as a group too (ot5). So imagine dancing so hard and slaying vocals jxjdskak that made me follow them for more than a decade now. 2. EXO - ofc their live perfs never fails to surprise or never disappoints. Some may point out the imperfections but for me that's what makes it more attractive (as part of perf) coz u know it's live. I've watched almost all of their concert performances and they're all so good!! (Must watch if u want to actually appreciate their live vocals) 3. Yasss! Ofc Ateez and Dreamcatcher are basically sibling grps from different companies! When u said about being torn, i was thinkinh maybe another song of them or maybe another group like Seventeen. But totally deserve to be placed here! They continuously amaze me w their aura and talent during live perfs. I also hoped seventeen is here tho lol. 4. Yass ZB1. Altho im not that into the group yet, i appreciate their talent and potentials. I saw their concert perfs and i feel proud as someone who knew them from Boys Planet.
@riahlexington Key was vocal line, dance line, and rap line since debut. He may not be Onew or Jonghyun but he's always been a good vocalist and dancer.
@@riahlexington Key was also good during debut, and Minho was rapping so he was fine, the only one who had trouble and obviously improved a massive amount was Taemin, but only in vocals, he was already the best dancer, he just hadn't learnt to sing yet.
Kinda shocked that neither Sherlock nor Everybody was the chosen one. The live stages for those songs are a thrill to watch. I would even say Dream Girl is much harder to perform than it appears
Good so Bad and all of Zb1's songs are very difficult to sing because they are all very high pitched, even higher pitched than most girl group songs. They have high notes full of falsettos and full of incredible vocal combinations from start to finish, and that, plus their very demanding choreographies on a respiratory and cardiovascular level, makes them a death trap. Good luck to those who want to imitate this without failing in the attempt
I've noticed no ZB1 song has been on a survival program yet, despite ZB1 being million sellers for all of their albums so far - I think the songs are just to high, and the choreo is just too crazy
zb1 talents are there but i really think their musics shouldve been better,idols like zhanghao hanbin need more things to do in order to get the kpop industry goes crazy for them,their stability while dancing is crazy for me,proven since bp999
@@kyedo- I thought it was weird too, whoever follows SHINee knows they perform live at least once, and to say that is not even fair, they barely do lypsinc with the exception of permorning new songs when promoting. I thought he would mention Lucifer, Sherlock, Everybody.. There is simply not only ONE hard song performed live by the kings!
@@kyedo- I think he meant he couldn't find a performance of Don't Call Me that was live that he could use. They sang it live in encores on music shows, but not during music show performances (for whatever reason, probably SM). Maybe no good fancams? And with Onew being on hiatus when they toured last year...I can see why he might have had difficulty finding a good version that wouldn't get blocked.
I’d rather do an intense 1 hours workout with no rest than performing Monster by EXO live. Btw that’d be cool if you could make another ranking video or overrated / underrated vocalists video because I love how you analyse each vocalist and pinpoint their strengths / weaknesses.
YESSS I was expecting ateez, and I was so happy when I saw you put halazia here because, yes, it is seriously hard to perform, and they deserve the recognition so much ♡♡♡
Shinee has many challenging songs to perform live, like Everybody, that has a physically demanding choreography and has almost every member doing a high note. Even their b-sides are hard to perform live, like Excuse Me Miss. Do you guys recall any other B-sides that are difficult to perform (Shinee or not)? Also, other songs that could be included: Decalcomanie by Mamamoo, Apple by GFriend, Evanesce by Super Junior and Dumb Dumb by Red Velvet
Exo has a lot of difficult songs to sing live but one of the hardest imo is definitly "Don't mess up my tempo" There's literaly none that did a cover of it,none that I know of at least. It's not even just the dance part the most difficult thing,is the whole vocal part and acapella especially,one of exo best tt ever
ZB1 are such a talented group. It always breaks my heart when I remember they're a temp group. For a beginner group to hold their own as much as they can like that... For Wakeone to hit such a jackpot group like that. Their potential is so great and I wish they'd have more time together but I can't wait to see them in the future
Some ppl might be upset about this but I'd argue that Cream Soda is FAR harder to perform than Monster. Just watch the dance practice, it's EXHAUSTING. It's almost non-stop moving, formation changes & requires a hell lot of stamina. But aside of the choreo, the song itself vocally is extremely difficult to cover. What BG song requires u to sing the same 3 prechorus & 3 chorus in high upper register with runs, & overall vocal range stretches wide with F2 - E5 - A5 & extremely fast runs? That's INSANE.
SHINee’s HARD performances from their encore concert in May were amaaaazing. I’ve been so impressed with their commitment to singing that song live. But aren’t there older SHINee songs that are even more difficult to perform than HARD? Like I know they don’t sing DCM with live vocals, but songs like Sherlock, Everybody, and Lucifer they definitely have performed live and the choreo is more difficult and intense as well. Also, fyi, I understand that in the context of the video you meant that SHINee “performs as 4” but I don’t recommend referring to them as a “4 member group” as both they and their fans still very much think of them as 5.
@riahlexington Personally I haven’t seen any DCM performance with live vocals from their concerts, so I don’t think they ever do, but could be wrong. Typically in concert they do a section for their dance-heavy songs with very limited live vocals. Like they might sing a few lines of some of those songs live, but mostly it’s prerecorded. And then they do other sections with exclusively live singing. So the only DCM live vocals I’ve ever personally seen were in music show encore stages and they did an amazing job with it in that context, so I’m not really sure why they never attempt to sing it live. Maybe the dance just makes it too strenuous 🤷♀️
@ oh that makes sense. Encore stages don’t have full dance though. They do sing some lines in the dance heavy songs though even everybody. I guess they meant not completely live but nothing in K-pop is especially dance heavy. Now I want someone to find me a live performance of advice. That choreography scares me.
Yo amo monster con toda mi alma, me alegra que hayas elegido esa canción. Recuerdo muy bien esa presentación, lo hicieron muy bien. Anhelo que la puedan interpretar nuevamente algún día
I knew 4th gen was going to be Ateez , but I'm surprised it was Halazia that was chosen seeing as how Wonderland injured both Mingi and Jongho, and had vocally challenging parts.
what’s up with all of the butthurt fans upset their faves aren’t in the video 😭 this is a video about a FEW of the hardest songs to perform live from a VOCAL and dance perspective, not just what group has the hardest choreography to perform..
ATEEZ!!! 🔥... whew! I'm out of breathe just watching 🥵 That performance was incredible, looks exhausting but they *ate* ! Also, wish you had featured SVT's Aju Nice! Live performance is insane.
exo released songs only them can sing live ....when i was waiting for their exist comeback, i thought like ok they are going to release trendy, easy to cover song this time like they finally can chill after 11 years in the industry no stress BUT NO. THEY RELEASED FREAKING CREAM SODA LMAOOOO I was like "WTF is this?how are they going to dance and sing this live?" but of course EXO IS EXO. They are special.
its hard to find a live for everybody, since most of the time it was lip sycned like the tokyo dome perf. i think sherlock could have been there instead like this performance th-cam.com/video/Z6XpsixQxRI/w-d-xo.html or Lucifer SWC5
@@triplej8666 th-cam.com/video/bKn-CVh7D2o/w-d-xo.html pretty sure all of the Hangout With Yoo songs were live (Sherlock, HARD, Lucifer, Ring Ding Dong) you can hear them breathe into the mics. And they absolutely killed it. Three of them were literally back to back with no breaks (HARD, Lucifer and RDD) there was only a short talking break after Sherlock. True that Everybody was more lip synced than not but I'm sure it can be found just ned to dig deeper.
I watched an individual fancam of Good So Bad and thats when I really realized HOW complicated the choreo and formations can be. In addition to the high pitch range vocals for the chorus which is already so hard
Is it just me? EXO was the only one who had an actual LIVE LIVE RAW vocals on this video? 👀No hate to other groups on the list. I know they also have great vocals too. It's really just hard to find actual LIVE RAW vocals in kpop especially when performing on stage while dancing.
Cuz that's the only song here before the pandemic, before tiktok era. I'm sure shinee's older songs would have that quality of live too but hard is their newest song & live performances nowadays are too much smoothened, pitch corrected, heavy backtracked, etc.
some nct songs like ‘hello future’ would make the cut too do you think? I get exhausted just listening to haechan continuously belt high notes in that song and the fact that that song is kind of like the magnum opus of dream and makes it to EVERY set list (just how 127 will be performing kick it till the end of time lol)! And they’ve been performing it live LIVE during every single concert stop
SHINee's song, All day all night (b-side) that song is hard to sing and the choreography is also hard, a lot of moves and fast, and SHINee was performing that song with live vocal ofc
EXACTLY, and they performed it live with a minimal backing track even on music shows, this was of course 6 years ago when it was still possible to find performances like that but not many groups could attempt it at all.
You should include Pentagon's Basquiat! The dance is super intense with sharp high notes. It's always forgotten but the live performance they did in KCON 2020 was insane
Cream soda live is more scary and unbelievable to be performed this perfect by Exo I still remember when a younger idol said why Exo are moving this fast imagine singing perfectly while doing that kind of dance LIVE 😂🎉
I mean.. except for some groups. idk too much about bts but they r pretty good and also seventeen (but ig we count them as pledis) txt and enhypen are pretty good but js not on the level of the people on this list I half agree with u
Earlier BTS songs, Gfriend (past Hybe group), and Seventeen are some who have harder songs to perform. Vocals, dance, synchronicity, and stage presence.
one of the main points about why good so bad is so difficult in this video is that it’s really difficult to control that light delicate falsetto sound while dancing. in bloom has very little falsetto (just a short part during the bridge), so it’s generally easier for them to control their voices while dancing :)
@@dibidubu4168 Exactly!! To add to that, falsetto requires a lot more air than chest voice. This is because chest voice occurs when your vocal cords touch, while in falsetto your vocal cords don’t touch and it’s the air between your vocal cords solely creating the sound. This means that falsetto requires twice as much as air than chest voice just to produce sound. And large physical movements always disrupts breathing in some way.
SHINee are known as the performance kings and CDNee for a reason. They have many more difficult songs to perform live both among title tracks and b-sides, HARD Is far from actually hardest lol. For instance, take this recent performance at Hangout With Yoo! ( th-cam.com/video/bKn-CVh7D2o/w-d-xo.html ) where they performed Sherlock, HARD, Lucifer and Ring Ding Dong 3 of which were BACK TO BACK with NO breaks in between, only a short talking break after Sherlock and they still sounded so powerful. You can clearly hear them breathe into the mics on this one with a minimal backing track. Or 'All Day All Night' one of their b-sides from 6 years ago, it's among their most difficult choreographies and they mostly performed it live ON MUSIC SHOWS which is pretty much unheard of nowadays and even back then barely anyone else could attempt it: th-cam.com/video/jGTxKKdoBQ4/w-d-xo.html
I knew 5th gen's was gonna be zb1 but I thought it was going to be kill the romeo, like that choreo is HARD. But tbh I'm only a dancer and I know 0 to none about when a song is difficult in vocals so maybe it isn't as difficult to sing as gsb
Even though they are not from SM, I always thought that Zb1 had the vocal demands that SM asked for in their previous groups. After Exo, the groups lowered their vocal quality😢
@@Dkfujxhx I don’t really agree that SM lowered vocal quality after EXO. Like NCT and Aespa still have some great vocalists. It’s more that they’ve shifted to doing fewer live vocal performances so you don’t get to hear them sing as much. But that change was pretty much industry-wide and not exclusive to SM. But I do agree that for 5th gen ZB1 is the best vocal boy group overall.
@@bantacissokho3500 I think Jiwoong is better than him but not so much difference, it's not hating, it's admitting the truth, they need improvement in singing. The rest of the members are amazing singers, especially Hao and Taerae.
@@disneychanyeor82 yep , one of their best performance. The e adlibs were perfect and so were the stage itself. when the tree bloomed I got goosebumps all over my body. Not to mention baekhyun owned the whole performance.And man, they were singing live for god's sake 🔥 Missed Kai though, giving the added choreography, he would've slayed 😭
alsa we need to give flowers to grops with less members, they have to sing and have the center 2 times more than a regular group, something that people forget
Infinite always top the list in this category, but I guess you are not familiar with them☹️ them along with shinee always considered as two of the best performers in kpop. There might be many groups good at live singing especially with 2nd generation idols, but the thing about these two is that they are known for having difficult songs+choreos, and to have groups that are known for both their live singing+ dancing skills are really not easy. Infinite songs are high that most idols struggling to sing them, but they also known as the OG of synchronized dance and the ones who made it a thing in Kpop. I remember someone described them as “Infinite songs are all about belting high notes while dancing a heavy choreo” I hope it’s not annoying rambling like this😅 i just wanted to give you an idea about them and thought you might like them 🫶🏻
the fact that in this monster performance the cheers were SO loud it's amazing that they managed to remain so stable and not dropping the energy midway and chen can hit that note in he sleep 😉😉
I think Shinee, Exo, and Ateez all have multiple songs that fit this list.
Shinee Everybody, EXO Mama and Ateez Guerilla were my first thoughts.
@@vixxexo6855no for real ATEEZ and Guerilla first came in my mind
That specific Monster performance is glorious, I feel like crying from how beautiful it is
EXO has many songs that Are really hard to perform. EXO chose "Lucky one" themselves as the hardest song so perform. Thanks for making videos about EXO again.🙏
I know they said that but I also thought it was electric kiss they hated today because of how hard the dance is
Because lucky one has so many different moves, and also hand moves
I was confused on my first attempt doing that
@@adam_c_edwards Yes, electric kiss choreography is crazy.
ooohh for real. exo despise lucky one hahaha
EXO and SHINee's title tracks are just something else man
Until this day, I never had the nerve to dance to a Shinee song.
Completely understandable
Practice harder u can
They r too easy
I would not want to dance next to MinKey, let alone Taemin 😭 I would maybe dare with the other two if they are having a bad day

All Day All Night, Hitchhiking, Stranger, Picasso... there's too many.
Not just monster good luck with any exo's song😅
exo and zb1 my 3rd and 5th gen ults 🫶🫶🫶
After seeing Halazia live, I 1000000% agree!! Literally a life changing performance.
Exo has a lot of difficult songs to sing live but one of the hardest imo is definitly "Don't mess up my tempo"
There's literaly none that did a cover of it,none that I know of at least.
It's not even just the dance part the most difficult thing,is the whole vocal part and acapella especially,one of exo best tt ever
I saw two covers of it but nobody included the acapella section!
all of shinees title tracks are just insane
ZB1 are such a talented group. It always breaks my heart when I remember they're a temp group. For a beginner group to hold their own as much as they can like that... For Wakeone to hit such a jackpot group like that. Their potential is so great and I wish they'd have more time together but I can't wait to see them in the future
ikr...
🕯️ manifesting baekhyun’s company buys out their contracts 🕯️
i hope they get an extension like kep1er!
I knew for 4th gen it had to be ATEEZ
Some ppl might be upset about this but I'd argue that Cream Soda is FAR harder to perform than Monster. Just watch the dance practice, it's EXHAUSTING. It's almost non-stop moving, formation changes & requires a hell lot of stamina.
But aside of the choreo, the song itself vocally is extremely difficult to cover. What BG song requires u to sing the same 3 prechorus & 3 chorus in high upper register with runs, & overall vocal range stretches wide with F2 - E5 - A5 & extremely fast runs? That's INSANE.
Yes❤
EXO has so many songs that are very hard to perform
Dreamcatcher and ATEEZ share producers actually!
BAEKHYUN "cry for love" is also very difficult song
It's the entire Bambi album for me. All I got is glorious with the high notes
Yay shinee!!! I thought i was gonna see Everybody as their hardest song! Please check it out
halazia might be the greatest song ateez ever released tbh
SHINee’s HARD performances from their encore concert in May were amaaaazing. I’ve been so impressed with their commitment to singing that song live.
But aren’t there older SHINee songs that are even more difficult to perform than HARD? Like I know they don’t sing DCM with live vocals, but songs like Sherlock, Everybody, and Lucifer they definitely have performed live and the choreo is more difficult and intense as well.
Also, fyi, I understand that in the context of the video you meant that SHINee “performs as 4” but I don’t recommend referring to them as a “4 member group” as both they and their fans still very much think of them as 5.
They don’t do DCM live in concert? That seems odd. I know about music shows but concert too?
@riahlexington Personally I haven’t seen any DCM performance with live vocals from their concerts, so I don’t think they ever do, but could be wrong.
Typically in concert they do a section for their dance-heavy songs with very limited live vocals. Like they might sing a few lines of some of those songs live, but mostly it’s prerecorded. And then they do other sections with exclusively live singing.
So the only DCM live vocals I’ve ever personally seen were in music show encore stages and they did an amazing job with it in that context, so I’m not really sure why they never attempt to sing it live. Maybe the dance just makes it too strenuous 🤷♀️
@ oh that makes sense. Encore stages don’t have full dance though. They do sing some lines in the dance heavy songs though even everybody. I guess they meant not completely live but nothing in K-pop is especially dance heavy. Now I want someone to find me a live performance of advice. That choreography scares me.
Yo amo monster con toda mi alma, me alegra que hayas elegido esa canción. Recuerdo muy bien esa presentación, lo hicieron muy bien. Anhelo que la puedan interpretar nuevamente algún día
im surprised he didnt choose everybody for shinee
When I watched your GG version of this video and you said you are open to doing the Boy groups one I expected of seeing EXO in it.
Exo really has difficult performances from earlier years of debut. Monster and its fanchant never fails to give me goosebumps
shinee exo and ateez are the kings of live
I knew 4th gen was going to be Ateez , but I'm surprised it was Halazia that was chosen seeing as how Wonderland injured both Mingi and Jongho, and had vocally challenging parts.
We demand a single video appreciating more of SHINee's songs live, there are a bunch and the Kings are really the standard! Who is with me lol
Me
Very good choices! Thanks for talking about Ateez this time. 🎉
what’s up with all of the butthurt fans upset their faves aren’t in the video 😭 this is a video about a FEW of the hardest songs to perform live from a VOCAL and dance perspective, not just what group has the hardest choreography to perform..
ATEEZ!!! 🔥... whew! I'm out of breathe just watching 🥵 That performance was incredible, looks exhausting but they *ate* !
Also, wish you had featured SVT's Aju Nice! Live performance is insane.
exo released songs only them can sing live ....when i was waiting for their exist comeback, i thought like ok they are going to release trendy, easy to cover song this time like they finally can chill after 11 years in the industry no stress BUT NO. THEY RELEASED FREAKING CREAM SODA LMAOOOO I was like "WTF is this?how are they going to dance and sing this live?" but of course EXO IS EXO. They are special.
I would have chosen everybody instead of hard
Me too
thats what i thought too, the high notes + intense choreography isnt for the weak
Same
its hard to find a live for everybody, since most of the time it was lip sycned like the tokyo dome perf. i think sherlock could have been there instead like this performance th-cam.com/video/Z6XpsixQxRI/w-d-xo.html or Lucifer SWC5
@@triplej8666 th-cam.com/video/bKn-CVh7D2o/w-d-xo.html pretty sure all of the Hangout With Yoo songs were live (Sherlock, HARD, Lucifer, Ring Ding Dong) you can hear them breathe into the mics. And they absolutely killed it. Three of them were literally back to back with no breaks (HARD, Lucifer and RDD) there was only a short talking break after Sherlock. True that Everybody was more lip synced than not but I'm sure it can be found just ned to dig deeper.
I watched an individual fancam of Good So Bad and thats when I really realized HOW complicated the choreo and formations can be. In addition to the high pitch range vocals for the chorus which is already so hard
Is it just me? EXO was the only one who had an actual LIVE LIVE RAW vocals on this video? 👀No hate to other groups on the list. I know they also have great vocals too. It's really just hard to find actual LIVE RAW vocals in kpop especially when performing on stage while dancing.
Well yeah, the others sounds too perfect and sounds like echoing or something.
nah, it's not just you. impressive of exo tbh
Cuz that's the only song here before the pandemic, before tiktok era. I'm sure shinee's older songs would have that quality of live too but hard is their newest song & live performances nowadays are too much smoothened, pitch corrected, heavy backtracked, etc.
if you want absolutely no back track live vocal performance, pls check out zb1 at grammy museum performance, its really clear!! 😊
@@KunoBaka0908 that performance did have backtrack though. they were singing live but it was with a backtrack
I think you could put all exo's titles here and everyone would agree its indeed hard
some nct songs like ‘hello future’ would make the cut too do you think? I get exhausted just listening to haechan continuously belt high notes in that song and the fact that that song is kind of like the magnum opus of dream and makes it to EVERY set list (just how 127 will be performing kick it till the end of time lol)! And they’ve been performing it live LIVE during every single concert stop
SHINee's song, All day all night (b-side) that song is hard to sing and the choreography is also hard, a lot of moves and fast, and SHINee was performing that song with live vocal ofc
EXACTLY, and they performed it live with a minimal backing track even on music shows, this was of course 6 years ago when it was still possible to find performances like that but not many groups could attempt it at all.
EL dorado, MONSTER hardddd
My Ateez and ZB1 ❤
You should include Pentagon's Basquiat! The dance is super intense with sharp high notes. It's always forgotten but the live performance they did in KCON 2020 was insane
Cream soda live is more scary and unbelievable to be performed this perfect by Exo I still remember when a younger idol said why Exo are moving this fast imagine singing perfectly while doing that kind of dance LIVE 😂🎉
I was expecting Tempo instead of Monster
Have they ever done the acapella part live? I love that part!
@@Pos1t1veThinkingyesss many times !
HALAZIA>>>>>> this song is too good to this world 🌎!!!❤❤❤
hybe will never enter this category with the quality of their vocalists and short and easy to sing songs
I mean.. except for some groups. idk too much about bts but they r pretty good and also seventeen (but ig we count them as pledis)
txt and enhypen are pretty good but js not on the level of the people on this list
I half agree with u
Seventeen should be here
But this guy is baised anyway lol
Earlier BTS songs, Gfriend (past Hybe group), and Seventeen are some who have harder songs to perform. Vocals, dance, synchronicity, and stage presence.
@@elijahvillegas1370 All of them were formed before the creation of hybe
@ That doesn’t take away the fact that they are or were Hybe groups. You’re just looking at the present groups.
ZEROBASEONE THE 5TH GENERATION IT BG FOR A REASON
Exo with amazing vocals and svt with amazing dance
A collab stage would have been fire!
Love when you bring boy groups!
isn't in bloom harder than good so bad / genuine question 😭
one of the main points about why good so bad is so difficult in this video is that it’s really difficult to control that light delicate falsetto sound while dancing. in bloom has very little falsetto (just a short part during the bridge), so it’s generally easier for them to control their voices while dancing :)
@ thanks for ur answer
@@dibidubu4168 Exactly!! To add to that, falsetto requires a lot more air than chest voice. This is because chest voice occurs when your vocal cords touch, while in falsetto your vocal cords don’t touch and it’s the air between your vocal cords solely creating the sound. This means that falsetto requires twice as much as air than chest voice just to produce sound. And large physical movements always disrupts breathing in some way.
Xikers really have hard dances
Exo people l always don't understand how they can be this perfect ❤
SHINee are known as the performance kings and CDNee for a reason. They have many more difficult songs to perform live both among title tracks and b-sides, HARD Is far from actually hardest lol.
For instance, take this recent performance at Hangout With Yoo! ( th-cam.com/video/bKn-CVh7D2o/w-d-xo.html ) where they performed Sherlock, HARD, Lucifer and Ring Ding Dong 3 of which were BACK TO BACK with NO breaks in between, only a short talking break after Sherlock and they still sounded so powerful. You can clearly hear them breathe into the mics on this one with a minimal backing track.
Or 'All Day All Night' one of their b-sides from 6 years ago, it's among their most difficult choreographies and they mostly performed it live ON MUSIC SHOWS which is pretty much unheard of nowadays and even back then barely anyone else could attempt it: th-cam.com/video/jGTxKKdoBQ4/w-d-xo.html
I knew 5th gen's was gonna be zb1 but I thought it was going to be kill the romeo, like that choreo is HARD. But tbh I'm only a dancer and I know 0 to none about when a song is difficult in vocals so maybe it isn't as difficult to sing as gsb
Even though they are not from SM, I always thought that Zb1 had the vocal demands that SM asked for in their previous groups. After Exo, the groups lowered their vocal quality😢
@@Dkfujxhx I don’t really agree that SM lowered vocal quality after EXO. Like NCT and Aespa still have some great vocalists. It’s more that they’ve shifted to doing fewer live vocal performances so you don’t get to hear them sing as much. But that change was pretty much industry-wide and not exclusive to SM. But I do agree that for 5th gen ZB1 is the best vocal boy group overall.
Sorry but Gyuvin, Ricky and (unfortunately) Yujin couldn't survive a single day in SM.
@@chenles_defenderI'm pretty sure if Jiwoong can Ricky can too so i dont see your point and your supposed to be a zerose not an hater
@@bantacissokho3500 I think Jiwoong is better than him but not so much difference, it's not hating, it's admitting the truth, they need improvement in singing. The rest of the members are amazing singers, especially Hao and Taerae.
instead of Monster, i'm more intrigued if EXO's CREAM SODA will be covered properly or will ever be used in any survival show 😂
I think the same ❤😂😂
Ok HOT TAKE BUT EXO'S WOLF IS EXTREMELY TIRING LIKE THE AMOUNT OF JUMPING AND FORMATION CHANGES TO GET THE HOLY BRIDGE IS CRAZY DNMDMX
I was also going to comment for wolf😢 it's so difficult that I doubt even will Exo be able to perform the choreo now in their 30s.
Not to mention Chen's and baekhyun's part in the end. And if I was kyungsoo I'll run out of the stage cause his parts are insane
@@mahimab015 HAVE FAITH IN THEM!! (REMEMBER THEIR BACKS CRACKING FROM THE GROWL MOVE IN THEIR PRACTIVE VID 😭)
@@ExolExist wolf is a real work out like you can get tired just from watching exordium live ver 😭 that last section go crazy
@@disneychanyeor82 yep , one of their best performance. The e adlibs were perfect and so were the stage itself. when the tree bloomed I got goosebumps all over my body. Not to mention baekhyun owned the whole performance.And man, they were singing live for god's sake 🔥 Missed Kai though, giving the added choreography, he would've slayed 😭
Was there a live version of Shinee’s Everybody? Because that choreo with the vocals in that song look like it could kill most idols to perform.
I was expecting wolf to be the EXO's hardest song to perform
wolf would probably be the answer if the choreo was more difficult
@mordoandrigbonefacingforwa7611 but the post chorus is hard af... from bridge to the outro it's a just a showcase of pure talent... ✨️
@@mordoandrigbonefacingforwa7611the wolf remix( concert wolf) was hard af
Halazia is, to this day, the most impactful performance of kpop to me. I get literal goosebumps everytime
I’m really curious about what was almost your fourth gen pick. 🤔
alsa we need to give flowers to grops with less members, they have to sing and have the center 2 times more than a regular group, something that people forget
Infinite always top the list in this category, but I guess you are not familiar with them☹️ them along with shinee always considered as two of the best performers in kpop. There might be many groups good at live singing especially with 2nd generation idols, but the thing about these two is that they are known for having difficult songs+choreos, and to have groups that are known for both their live singing+ dancing skills are really not easy.
Infinite songs are high that most idols struggling to sing them, but they also known as the OG of synchronized dance and the ones who made it a thing in Kpop. I remember someone described them as “Infinite songs are all about belting high notes while dancing a heavy choreo”
I hope it’s not annoying rambling like this😅 i just wanted to give you an idea about them and thought you might like them 🫶🏻
EXO is just🤌
ZEROBASEONE ARE SO GOOD
ZEROBASEONE 5TH GEN LEADERS
SHINee went hard with HARD
Shinee!!
the fact that in this monster performance the cheers were SO loud it's amazing that they managed to remain so stable and not dropping the energy midway
and chen can hit that note in he sleep 😉😉
I dont usually comment but id recommend seventeen for a part two ! Getting closer especially and dont wanna cry for example :>
EXO always special ❤no one can be EXO
The fact that multiple songs of these groups can fit in this list speaks their POWER!
ZEROBASEONE MY VOCAL KINGS!!!!!
Halazia is might be my favourite kpop song ever I hope I will see it live!
Shinee are untouchable in live vocals at ANY choreo which is always crazy, eternal performance kings !!! 5 vocalists, 5 dancers, 5 visuals ❤❤❤❤❤
th-cam.com/video/b_qSkySlFfg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kNAm6swBE5z3B18U
To anyone who is curious this is the link for Shinee 1of 1 Acapella version.
Oh I didnt expect a high note section. The point with falsetto instability and change up delivery energy is interesthing.
