She was listening to Mariah, Celine and Whitney while trying to overcome the hadships of her life, and incorporated a lot of their style in hers as she adores and respects them. But she is on a level of her own, if her health permitted a full carrier we would be doing a different evaluation talk. Against the mainstream divas SoHyang is the diva of our hearts.
@@theoneandonlymariahcarey3020 Uh compared to the straining and forced vocals Mariah has shown since her debut. No, prime Whitney was flawless pitch perfect. Prime Mariah hit or miss live, straining, pitchy, even when she lowered her keys she was winded. Look at her Grammy debut and mtv unplugged can we say receipts. Next case
@@The_Truth- lol Mariah is straining, forcing, and pitchy? Those belong to Whitney darling. Any singer can strain vocal when needed, but whitney's strained and pitchy vocal cannot be justified. Whitney = strained, Celine = nasal, Mariah = too much vocal runs. Yes, strain belongs to Whitney. What is the point of talking about prime Whitney when she was not that famous (meaning she didn't have to sing as much as prime Mariah)? Whitney became super famous after that movie song, which is several years after her debut. Mariah became famous instantly after releasing her first album, which is entirely written by Mariah and gave her 4 #1. Mariah has the best debut, highest number 1, artist of the decade, biggest comeback, etc. So don't even try.
She doesn't want a fame or money but sings for God!! and once she said she admires Mariah very much!! To me, she is so special!! She is such a beautiful person both inside and outside..!! Thank you so much for loving SoHyang and reaction!!
I may sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', is just a small sample of the flexibility of So Hyang's voice. Bottom line, ALL of So Hyang's performances are MASTER CLASS.
Original Bridge Over Troubled Water was written and performed by Simon & Garfunkel. It was the Billboard #1 song of the 70's...the whole decade. She sings like an amazing angel! I think she is the best singer on the planet!!!
우리 톰 아저씨는 생전 본 적도 들은 적도 없는 생경한 가수에게 완전히 뻑 가고 말았습니다. 휘트니, 머라이어, 셀린까지 언급하며 여타 리엑터들처럼 경탄과 경이로움의 대상으로 똬아악 점지하고 마시는군요. 소향을 만나는 대부분이 다들 그래요. 허허허 어메이징~ 소향~!!!
When she sang "You Raise Me Up," she had only gotten out of the hospital for pneumonia the day before. The doctor told her to not even speak, much less sing. And she did that performance. This is Sohyang healthy. Whole other level!
I was there.. yes.. all your comments are true. I teared as soon as I heard the news from staff there that she was exhausted after signing "You raise me up " .
She starts so smooth and intimate, adds a little bit more power and finally explodes. What a fantastic voice and I've always been a fan of this beautiful song by Simon & Garfunkel.
Couldn't agree with you more 👍🏼 Never listened to this song till the end and only Sohyang could make me to do so. A must reaction to her rendition of "I Have Nothing" and esp "Everyone" which she herself has said is the hardest song of all👍🏼
So Hyang's best friend is "PARK KI-YOUNG" A 20-year contemporary pop and some rock singer who decided to try Classical. So she sang "NELLA FANTASIA"!! "W O W"
소향은 괜찮은 척 단단히 서 있는 나를 뒤에서 안아주고 그에 흔들리고 무너져내려 주저앉아 크게 울게 만든다 하지만 그것이 가슴 찢어지게 아픈 것 이거나 비참한 것이 아닌 따뜻함 임을 곧 깨닫게 되고 토라진 아이같이 난 못해 난 끝났어 난 쓰레기야라고 울며 소리쳐도 소향은 아니라고 넌 소중하고 다시 할 수 있고 기어이 해낼 것이라고 말해준다 그럼 어느새 정말 그럴 수 있을 것 같다 그런 확신이 들게 한다 마치 앉은뱅이가 일어나 걷고 난도질 당해 피가 뿜어져 나오는 가슴이 치유되는 기분이다 그래..신을 영접하면 이런 기분이리라 부드럽지만 강하고 잔잔하면서 격정적이고 벅차오른다 그립고 슬프지만 따스하다 마치 신을 영접한 것 같다 난 오늘도 따뜻한 눈물을 흘린다
SoHyang is one of the best female singer in the world but comparisons are irrelevant. The discovery of her voice and work is a special "first time experience". Whitney, Mariah or Celine can't give that anymore. Similar to Dimash, she offers us special emotions and not just excellent musical performances. Priceless!
@@Rosannasfriend It is not a question of age or quality. Celine is a great singer and very well known by the target audience in the western world. It is almost impossible not to know her. SoHyang is a new experience for many people. Tom Tuffnuts is an example. The feeling to discover an unknown great artist is special and unique. In this case is SoHyang incomparable.
I Love So Hyang! She is very good and has an outstanding vocal talent, however she CANNOT compare with Whitney/Céline/Mariah ... yet. She has the necessary talent but needs to come up with her own songs and her own flair as an artist. It's easy for a good singer to perform a great song well, but the true artist MAKES his/her great song. Having mastery of your tool doesn't make you a great artisan if you have no inspiration/imagination. I wish So Hyang the very best and stand optimistic in wait for a bright future for this great young lady.
@@Sayitlikitiz101 First of all, So Hyang is no longer a young girl. She is 43 and has been making music for over 20 years. She has her own songs, but mostly in Korean and often with Christian content. She is a gospel singer and well known in churches. You have to understand, SoHyang is not focused on an international career. I think she doesn't really care about a career in Korea either. There is no record deal or anything like that. She is a real authentic singer and not a music worker.
@@lightseekerslegion941 Then you cannot compare her with these singers as you did. She is not playing in the same league, doesn't have the same demand, expectation, scrutiny and pressure put on her. But I said I truly do like her and wish her whatever success she hopes for.
This is great? Sohyang performances in Immortal Song 2 are all at this level. Chills and goosebumps guaranteed. Even a Christmas song O Holy Night is epic. In some churches performance, she would knelt down on the 2nd chorus and remain there for the rest of the song. Watch to believe it.
and she did it casually in her rehearsal,literally phrasing through A5s and doing the D6 head voice while looking unbothered minding her own business almost falling asleep in the rehearsal haha THE QUEEN
One of the most perfect performances I've ever heard. Remember that she is in her 40s. Angelina has this same agility, and I think will quickly come up to this standard, which is essentially perfection.
If I had a dollar for every time someone compares Sohyang to a Disney princess/movie :D Lol it's true though, she does; when she isn't sounding like a vocal beast. She has sung some Disney songs, she was the singing voice of Moana in the Korean version of the movie.
Very glad to see you return to pay Sohyang another visit so soon - although I don't blame you. It is tempting to gush over Sohyang's singing but it's also so unnecessary once you have listened to it. It needs no explanation. I just appreciate her voice as it gives us the music for consolation and healing. Sohyang mentioned that Whitney, Mariah and Celine as the divas she admired growing up. She also warms up her voice by singing to song in Mariah Carey's Music Box album. However, I agree with you that Sohyang belongs to the same pantheon where these vocal goddesses reside. Her phenomenal vocal achievement has earned her the pass for the deity status. She has a ton of performances to enjoy, but after listening to two songs in English, perhaps you would be curious to listen to her sing in her native tongue in the magical performance of "Arirang Alone" @ ua-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/v-deo.html BTW, it's only natural to associate Sohyang's voice, particularly in her head voice, with Disney since it contains such palpable quality of purity, clarity and sincerity that we often seek in the innocence of children. Of course, her indominable power and overwhelming passion in her voice quickly will reveal that this is far more than a pretty Disney princess. Thanks for the reaction.
Bridge over trouble Water is by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970. Been done as a cover many times over the years, very famous song that won a Grammy award in 1971. This is Sohyang's own arrangement of it. Elvis did a really well known cover of it too. If you just put in the name of the song on Google, Sohyang and Elvis pop right up after S&G.
Tom, I think this is the greatest performance of music ever captured by microphones and cameras. So Hyang isn't just on a different level. She _is_ that level. The first time I ever heard So Hyang sing was this performance and I knew right then and there that she was the greatest singer and performer I had ever heard. I was 61 at the time, two years ago, and then I discovered this almost endless list of her other _live_ performances, and she is without question without peer. The greatest singer of our generation. It is almost like time out of mind. She takes you on a journey and you _will_ go along for the ride--and come back for more. So Hyang _is_ a bigger than life experience and that is faint praise! 💖👌🎶🙃😎😉 PS That second vocal run she performed, just after that lady said "Wow!", is the most beautiful, feminine and womanly sound I have ever heard. Any siren on any island would kill to be able to sing like that! 😍🤩👍 And all this from an almost unknown tiny Gospel singer from South Korea ...
I agree, So Hyang is perhaps the best singer on the planet (with Dimash), maybe even more versatile and controlled than Whitney and Mariah (I love Whitney, but...). She has it all (maybe not a low register, but she just goes up two octaves, ha). Thanks fo reacting to her. She has become my favorite!
@@tom7471 Really? Compared to Whitney? If we surveyed random people and ask them does she emote and have soul like Whitney. I guarantee you, they would say no by a landslide.
Loving watching you discover this amazing vocalist. You really need to see her singing Arirang Alone from Immortal songs. It is in Korean, but there are versions with English subs. She will blow your mind. She is like no other. Her voice is a gift from God and she uses it to make us feel beyond anything I have ever felt.
More you study vocal techniques and singing in general, more you appreciate Sohyang. She is not just singing. She is “crafting” her voice her tone, volume to the song. Her placement of resonance changes constantly to magnify the effect. Most singers, even the most accomplished singers, often sing a song with the natural tone and voice that they are born with. I am not saying singing with a natural voice is inferior. I am just mesmerized by the range of techniques sohyang has in her arsenal, which is second to none, and she can craft just about every song with her technique in her toolbox and turn it into a piece of artwork. More you study the music and vocal techniques, more i discover them in her songs, and that’s when you get a goosebump and really see the “craftsmanship” she put into her songs. And i think that’s why vocal coaches react strongly to Sohyang, because they can see these things and they know how difficult it is when an average joe, like my old self, will only see the high notes she hits.
This song is written by Paul Simon and sang by Simon and Garfunkel, famous in the Flower Power era.Sohyang is amazing "Sohyang sang;"I have nothing", higher than Whitney ! I know you hear she sang it !! "Amazing Grace" she sang as a prayer, you feel the holy intention in her voice!OMG!!LOL!!
Truly never been this mesmerized by performances. I love clay aikens versions of this and same with josh grobans you raise me up and she just brings something so new to the arrangement that it makes me feel such strong emotion, like hearing music for the first time
I get what you mean by Disney vibe. In a lot of Disney songs, the singers have to be able to make the song feels magical (transport you to a fantasy land) he he he...
Hi Tom Just subscribed. Loved your reactions. Worldwide Sohyang Army is welcoming you with hope arms. Tom. I would love to hear your reactions of following Sohyang's incredible performances. 1. I will always love you(from Begin Again Tv program) 2. I have nothing(from DMC festival) 3. If I ain't got you(from Begin Again tv program) 4. Misty (from Begin Again) 5. I won't give up( from Begin Again) 6. I will be there(from Begin Again) 7. Flash light (from Begin Again) 8. Arirang Alone(from Immortal Song) 9. Oh Holy night( from I am singer tv program) 10. Dear Love (from Masked Singer tv program) Thank you
Just wish you would pronounce her name well..(no offensce.. I'll text the know how.. [so hiang] ) People who weren't familiar with her name pronunciation at first are getting used to correct pronunciation of her name..haha 😊 Thanks. Stay strong always and have a nice day. Kind regards , Tae 😊
Thanks for another AWESOME reaction. Your facial expressions throughout the song are PRICELESS. Many reactors have indicated at the start of this song that the EXTRAORDINARY So Hyang's angelic vocals sound like a Disney princess. Like you, it was meant to be a high compliment. This CLASSIC song was written by Paul Simon over 50 years ago and performed with his singing partner, Art Garfunkel (Simon & Garfunkel). Over the years, there have been numerous versions from many artists, including Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. So Hyang's version is the best one I've heard. So Hyang is known as the Korean Mariah Carey. In my never to be humble opinion, as GREAT as Mariah Carey is, in her prime and on her best day, her voice never had the power or sustained breath control of So Hyang. At your earliest convenience, please react to So Hyang, performing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing.'. I believe So Hyang made this song her own. Whitney Houston herself would have said, DANYUM!!
Sohyang is one of the people who was recognized as a true singer in Korea, not a box-office singer, and there was even an anecdote that she refused to take medicine and sang the last song while battling ovarian cancer. It has been recognized as a representative song at home and abroad, but if you listen to the song "Hug Me", I think you can get a deeper sense of the Korean sentiment. When you have time, please react to the live "Sohyang - Hug me" in the following link. Thank you.^^
Fun-Fact: SoHyang is Disney’s Korean Moana, so she’s indeed a Disney Princess ♥️ Also ck her Wikipedia pg, she’s a huge fan of Mariah & Whitney. In fact; imo SoHyang’s I HAVE NOTHING (Whitney cover) @ DMC Fest, IS a must for you & your Mom!
She does that to me every time, so get used to it. Definitely belongs there with Whitney. This is full on Gospel, Jesus is coming!!!!!! Let's get her and Dimash singing this song together somebody is bound to burst a blood vessel. That is what they mean by DYNAMIC. If Dimash can't make it then maybe she and Morissette could give it a go. Nobody makes it thru a So Hyang performance without scaring. Thanks Tuffnuts, for all the work you do to get these to us.
Not only is she on the same level with her singing but the girl puts everything she has into all her performances and makes you feel thin gs emotionally that others just don't do that's why she is the Queen thanks for a great reaction! So now the next song should be Everyone I think its her best!
So Hyang is my fav solois in korea. her technique vocal so great because So Hyang learned some vocal lesson with Seth Riggs in LA (a famous vocal coach who worked with michael jackson)
Original by Simon & Garfunkel, but not even near this performance. First she make a traditional performance, second verse is dramatic (with the choir and her giving it a full voice) and when she kicks in third verse, you get the feeling that this is the ULTIMATE version of this song. Sohyang is THE NAME in pop music performance in the second decade of the 21st Century!
You are correct to put her in the top level class! Too many say things like one singer is better than another when that is a matter of personal taste. I love Whitney, Mariah and Dion but Sohyang is the most relatable to me and so I dusted off a spot on that lofty pedestal and placed her upon it!
Hi! I'm Korean. I happened to see your video through UA-cam algorithms! She is a Korean CCM singer. I've stayed up all night listening to Sohyang's cover songs! I have a lot of songs to recommend, but I think the best of them is "everyone." Listen to this song!

You must check out her Whitney Houston I have nothing she makes it her own it's the best version I've ever heard
Last year she was singing I will always love you at Port. Kinda busking. She is 44 now but her voice is never change.
I will really make it simple....SO HYANG is the best modern vocalist on the planet !!!!!! Period.
She was listening to Mariah, Celine and Whitney while trying to overcome the hadships of her life, and incorporated a lot of their style in hers as she adores and respects them. But she is on a level of her own, if her health permitted a full carrier we would be doing a different evaluation talk. Against the mainstream divas SoHyang is the diva of our hearts.
We both know Whitney is the benchmark and foundation for all of them.
Appreciate
Couldn't agree more.. your last phrase that is starting from.. if her health is permitted , Awesome 👍
@@The_Truth- ew no actually Celine and Mariah has similar vocal style, Whitney is more on deep, forced, straining, super strong head voice, etc.

Misty(jazz), Arirang alone, I can only imagine, if I Ain't Got You, I won't give up.
Listen to 'I have nothing', performed by Sohyang on the stage of 'I Am a Singer Legend - DMC Festival 2015'. She also sang this song very well.
I may sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', is just a small sample of the flexibility of So Hyang's voice. Bottom line, ALL of So Hyang's performances are MASTER CLASS.

if there was a solar system singing competition, we would send Sohyang and Dimash, to represent Earth. Tbh I think both are out of this world.
she's no1 top singer
Couldn't agree with you more 👍🏼 Never listened to this song till the end and only Sohyang could make me to do so. A must reaction to her rendition of "I Have Nothing" and esp "Everyone" which she herself has said is the hardest song of all👍🏼

소향을 알게된걸 축하합니다~^^
소향은 괜찮은 척 단단히 서 있는 나를 뒤에서 안아주고
그에 흔들리고 무너져내려 주저앉아 크게 울게 만든다
하지만 그것이 가슴 찢어지게 아픈 것 이거나 비참한 것이 아닌 따뜻함 임을 곧 깨닫게 되고
토라진 아이같이 난 못해 난 끝났어 난 쓰레기야라고 울며 소리쳐도
소향은 아니라고 넌 소중하고 다시 할 수 있고 기어이 해낼 것이라고 말해준다
그럼 어느새 정말 그럴 수 있을 것 같다 그런 확신이 들게 한다 마치 앉은뱅이가 일어나 걷고
난도질 당해 피가 뿜어져 나오는 가슴이 치유되는 기분이다 그래..신을 영접하면 이런 기분이리라
부드럽지만 강하고 잔잔하면서 격정적이고 벅차오른다 그립고 슬프지만 따스하다 마치 신을 영접한 것 같다 난 오늘도 따뜻한 눈물을 흘린다

Loving watching you discover this amazing vocalist. You really need to see her singing Arirang Alone from Immortal songs. It is in Korean, but there are versions with English subs. She will blow your mind. She is like no other. Her voice is a gift from God and she uses it to make us feel beyond anything I have ever felt.
she's like an angel. touching every soul.
완전대박👍👍👍👍👍👍👍아진짜너무완벽해 ㅅ잘하네요최고입니다천제네요!
You still have so much to hear from the Queen! Amazing reaction!
갓향님께 많이 놀랬죠?^^ 많이 사랑해주세요~~
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
라이브 실력은 휘트니, 셀리디온, 머라이어 캐리보다
소향이 모든 부분에서 뛰어납니다.
More you study vocal techniques and singing in general, more you appreciate Sohyang. She is not just singing. She is “crafting” her voice her tone, volume to the song. Her placement of resonance changes constantly to magnify the effect. Most singers, even the most accomplished singers, often sing a song with the natural tone and voice that they are born with. I am not saying singing with a natural voice is inferior. I am just mesmerized by the range of techniques sohyang has in her arsenal, which is second to none, and she can craft just about every song with her technique in her toolbox and turn it into a piece of artwork. More you study the music and vocal techniques, more i discover them in her songs, and that’s when you get a goosebump and really see the “craftsmanship” she put into her songs. And i think that’s why vocal coaches react strongly to Sohyang, because they can see these things and they know how difficult it is when an average joe, like my old self, will only see the high notes she hits.
This song is written by Paul Simon and sang by Simon and Garfunkel, famous in the Flower Power era.Sohyang is amazing "Sohyang sang;"I have nothing", higher than Whitney ! I know you hear she sang it !! "Amazing Grace" she sang as a prayer, you feel the holy intention in her voice!OMG!!LOL!!
후 미쳤다 볼때마다 소름돋음
Super recommended for Sohyang - Everyone
Also, please react to 'Everyone', by So Hyang. She said this has been her most difficult song to sing.
Seven minutes of non stop PERFECTION!!.
React sohyang v/s dimash, i love sohyang, arirang alone, everyone uff she is amazing
Perfect+Perfect=sohyang. It's beyond perfection in this song. It's a voice that makes my heart beat and hits my bones.
Truly never been this mesmerized by performances. I love clay aikens versions of this and same with josh grobans you raise me up and she just brings something so new to the arrangement that it makes me feel such strong emotion, like hearing music for the first time
Sohyang did the korean voice for Moana so a little bit of Disney is there.
Thank you for the reaction.
Great performance~😇🥰😍👑
Can't wait to see you introduce Sarah to So Hyang.
🇰🇷 소향 팬으로써 소향리엑션
영상 너무 잘보고 있고 감사하네요 👏🎉 소향의 진가를 아셔서 기쁘네요 당신을 볼때마다 공유가 생각남 ㅋㅋㅋ
I get what you mean by Disney vibe. In a lot of Disney songs, the singers have to be able to make the song feels magical (transport you to a fantasy land) he he he...
여러분은 지금 세계 최정상급 가수의 노래를 듣고 계십니다
I just love her ! Lean on me was my first time hearing her and I became a fan right away !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
형님들.. 대한민국 국보급 가수입니다

소향 리액션은 못참지
천상의소리를 이땅에 끌어내리는 통로인 소향을 너무 사랑해요 ~~~^^
Mariah is her biggest inspiration, Whitney and Céline are inspirations too, that's why she's THAT amazing, she learned from the best!
I know What're you talking about to see your face.
She is the world best!!
I Have Nothing, a must
Thanks for another AWESOME reaction. Your facial expressions throughout the song are PRICELESS. Many reactors have indicated at the start of this song that the EXTRAORDINARY So Hyang's angelic vocals sound like a Disney princess. Like you, it was meant to be a high compliment. This CLASSIC song was written by Paul Simon over 50 years ago and performed with his singing partner, Art Garfunkel (Simon & Garfunkel). Over the years, there have been numerous versions from many artists, including Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. So Hyang's version is the best one I've heard. So Hyang is known as the Korean Mariah Carey. In my never to be humble opinion, as GREAT as Mariah Carey is, in her prime and on her best day, her voice never had the power or sustained breath control of So Hyang. At your earliest convenience, please react to So Hyang, performing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing.'. I believe So Hyang made this song her own. Whitney Houston herself would have said,
DANYUM!!
Sohyang is one of the people who was recognized as a true singer in Korea, not a box-office singer, and there was even an anecdote that she refused to take medicine and sang the last song while battling ovarian cancer.
It has been recognized as a representative song at home and abroad, but if you listen to the song "Hug Me", I think you can get a deeper sense of the Korean sentiment.
When you have time, please react to the live "Sohyang - Hug me" in the following link. Thank you.^^
소향 화이팅.
Fun-Fact: SoHyang is Disney’s Korean Moana, so she’s indeed a Disney Princess ♥️ Also ck her Wikipedia pg, she’s a huge fan of Mariah & Whitney. In fact; imo SoHyang’s I HAVE NOTHING (Whitney cover) @ DMC Fest, IS a must for you & your Mom!
I realy love your reaction ! Man please react to sohyang - hug me , please u wont regret , love from malaysia! Im your new subcriber , keep up!
She does that to me every time, so get used to it. Definitely belongs there with Whitney. This is full on Gospel, Jesus is coming!!!!!! Let's get her and Dimash singing this song together somebody is bound to burst a blood vessel. That is what they mean by DYNAMIC. If Dimash can't make it then maybe she and Morissette could give it a go.
Nobody makes it thru a So Hyang performance without scaring. Thanks Tuffnuts, for all the work you do to get these to us.
♥️ SoHyang! THX Tom 💯 Fire Reaction!
Not only is she on the same level with her singing but the girl puts everything she has into all her performances and makes you feel thin gs emotionally that others just don't do that's why she is the Queen thanks for a great reaction! So now the next song should be Everyone I think its her best!
Anytime...........you want to do a Sohyang reaction......is fine by me, she is easily one of the best singers on the planet !!!😎
mind-blowing!!!!! proud!!!!
Everyone. 7mins of running time will make overwhelmed
So Hyang is my fav solois in korea.
her technique vocal so great because So Hyang learned some vocal lesson with Seth Riggs in LA (a famous vocal coach who worked with michael jackson)
She actually sang for a disney movie Moana in Korean dubbed version.
I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but she did work with Disney as the singing voice for Moana. So you're not wrong about that Disney quality.
Original by Simon & Garfunkel, but not even near this performance.
First she make a traditional performance, second verse is dramatic (with the choir and her giving it a full voice) and when she kicks in third verse, you get the feeling that this is the ULTIMATE version of this song.
Sohyang is THE NAME in pop music performance in the second decade of the 21st Century!
You are correct to put her in the top level class! Too many say things like one singer is better than another when that is a matter of personal taste. I love Whitney, Mariah and Dion but Sohyang is the most relatable to me and so I dusted off a spot on that lofty pedestal and placed her upon it!
Don't worry I'll say it for you... Yes!! She's better than Whitney and Mariah!! ❤👍
React her song I have nothing 😍
소향 최고♥
Lol... how do you NOT know this is a Simon and Garfunkle song?
This is nothing.
Watch the 7+ minute "Everyone."
Dig a grave first.
it´s a cover from Simon & Garfunkel...and she is amazing. Her epic gospel song is " Everyone"
Hi! I'm Korean.
I happened to see your video through UA-cam algorithms!
She is a Korean CCM singer.
I've stayed up all night listening to Sohyang's cover songs! I have a lot of songs to recommend, but I think the best of them is "everyone."
Listen to this song!
