So glad this video finally got unblocked, because I have been dying to release this AMAZING voice of Sohyang! Can't wait to dive deeper into her Music Catalogue!
This was the Version from "WestLife" he gentleman at 05:45 was Shane Filan of the Irish boy band "Westlife", who also had "You Raise Me Up" as a hit in Great Britain. This episode on Immortal Song 2 is Shane Filan Special so all the invited singers performed his songs with their own interpretation. the pre-performance interview segment, Sohyang mentioned that this rendition represents her personal story, presumably about her faith. If her Arirang Alone gives you a trip about Korean history, Sohyang's masterful "You Raise Me Up" delivered a spiritual journey.
Listen to ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ sung by Sohyang. The arrangement is good and the song is really good. The UA-cam title is "[HIT] 불후의명곡2 - 소향, 사이먼 앤 가펑클의 ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.20150509". The uploader is "KBS Kpop". ua-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/v-deo.html
You will find that this is just an "average" performance for Sohyang when it comes to her epics i.e. 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'I Have Nothing', 'Lean On Me', and the uncomparable 'Everyone' (make sure to use the Vimeo version w/ CC on). However, as impressive as all of those are, her performances on the show 'Begin Again' busking with a small gorup of musicians and singers around Korea are mind-blowing. Her subtle and delicate choices in the stripped-down acoustic arrangements are just beautiful. In a group of excellent singers she stands out prominently. I would suggest 'I Will Always Love You' (she sings the sax solo), 'If I Ain't Got You', 'Never Enough', and any of the others on this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL0qKlaJIAGmkqREjAcO-g0SU1VG4iFcoo.html
She is not just singing. She always touches my heart. There are other singers who have such a high note, and they can surprise me. But Sohyang, she can make me tear up. Perfect technique, Perfect high note, perfect emotion and Perfect stage presence. She always sings with her sincerity and takes all the audiences to her own place. Let's go to "Bridge over the troubled water" and "Lean on me" from the same TV show. You will meet another best-ever cover : ) *However she is not the female version of Dimash. She is just Sohyang. Thank you for giving chance to Sohyang 💜
@@youcefkenane8973 Yeah, how could Sohyang be a female version of Dimash? Sohyang sang a song for lulling a baby to sleep when Dimash could only be creeping with his dispper.
암 극복하고 가수에게 치명적인 폐려을 앓고 저 무대보면 소향님이 힘들어 보이고 보는내내 맘이 아프네요,,다른편으로 본다면 불쌍히 보일수도있고요, 이곡이 마지막이될지도 모르니 이번곡 망치지않게 해달라고 기도하고 부른 이곡 기적이었네요, 그녀가 살아온 삶 , 정상에 올랐어도 성품이 겸손합니다, 그런 그녀가 우리나라의 미래와 희마믈 안겨 주었고 국보가 되었나이다 내가 젤 존경하는 사람이 되었네요,
This song was actually originally written and performed by Secret Garden (lyrics by Brendan Graham). Josh Groban is one of several hundred covers. This performance was on a show which celebrates and brings in famous singers from around the world whose songs the contestants have to reinterpret. The guest this particular episode was Shane Filan, a former member of the Irish boyband Westlife who also covered this song.
Sohyan is a Queen of Queens she us Cancer survivor she so strong and angelic at the same time and she make the arrangement with her team she's a prodigy
There's something special about this Korean show "Immortal Songs". They do amazing renditions of popular songs. Go check out the duet performance by Bae Dahae and Paul Potts.
This song was composed by Rolf Lovland of Secret Garden, their music is an Irish/Norwegian fusion. I saw them in concert, it was an unforgettable evening.
Congratulations! You've found one of the greatest vocalist of all time :) And you wouldn't believe how humble and warm heart she has. Thank you so much for reacting to Sohyang.
Yes sir in my opinion one of the best soulful and wonderful singer in the world. I completely agree with you Dimash best man singer and SoHyang best woman singer in the world.
So Hyang is one of the best singers EVER, there is no discussion. You should react to her powerful performances: Bridge Over trouble water (on inmortal songs) I have Nothing (DMC festival) Arirang Alone (inmortal songs)
Thank you for your Wonderful reaction to this Beautiful Lady ! Ahead of describing her as a Unbelievable Performer, I would say ,SoHyang is just a Wonderful , kind, caring and humble Lady! She is a Fighter too! So many road blocks , hardships on her Path! She was advised to not do this Performance, by her Doctor! You see she was still battling the last stages of Pneumonia! She remembered back when she was struggling with depression, after her Father left her Mother and Her! She remembered listening to Whitney, Celine and her favourite, Mariah! The comfort and peace their voices had brought her! She had been told and witnessed herself, the effect her voice also seemed to have on her Audiences ! So she said,”I must Perform as someone out in that crowd may need to hear my message in this song and I Promised, God, after he saved my life, that that is exactly what I would do with my second chance at life! So she did! She gave it her all as did those around her! She had Pneumonia 8 times over an 5 year period and battled through! She thought about quitting but while recovery I g one time. She was visiting her sister-in-law in the USA , and one day came across a Banner of a quote from former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, that said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” She knew God was telling her if she quit now she may regret her choice in the future! So she headed back to Korea and signed up for , “The King of Masked Singer”, that she had been asked to join! She set a new record for consecutive wins by a women with seven segment wins and gaining a huge fan base! Though she never set out to be a professional singer, she had come to dream of being a Big Star in America! She said she had many arguments with, God , over her desire! God won and on three separate occasions she has turned down contracts with big record companies(most recently with Sony Music) She states that she had convinced herself the fame was to better serve God and reach more people who suffered! She said ,God had said it was that she was becoming prideful and wanted it for herself and that she still had work to do and a contract with a big company would restrict her and push her into more sickness! She said she agreed and had to keep humility! Her Friend and Father-in-Law has been her Manager for years now! She doesn’t like the term ,” Manager”, so usually calls him, “Her Biggest Supporter” and points out her, “Best Friend”, also helps out a great deal, to. That person she describes as her,” Best Friend”, is her Mother-in-Law( she just calls them, Mom and Dad! Both of them are Christian Ministers Her Husband and Her live in his Parents home! They each have a floor of their own with another floor for a practice area and recording studio ! Her Husband(Kim Hee-jun) is a Drummer and Producer( she started out in his Family Christian Music Band, POS. , which also included her Sister-in-Laws ! She discovered she had cervical cancer at twenty, just after her marriage, which left her unable to naturally bear children and also with Hepatitis due to tainted blood she had received! She is a devote Christian,ls a successful published Author of Fantasy Novels, Part time teacher of Voice and Performance at Baekseok University in Cheonan City, she also likes to design and make things( did interior design in their home ) , she plays guitar and is a genius at arrangements, she and her team arrange all her songs though she says it is a team thing and involves many( her husband is involved , and also in song selection! Sorry I get carried away talking about this woman and her Family! I particularly love her songs in Korean ( I do not speak or understand Korean, but with her you Feel the song) Can never pick just one favourite, I have at least 20 favourites! I think the song I last listened to is my Favourite! Here are two songs she wrote one about following her in never giving up on your Dreams( the song title is Dream and her nickname is Dreamer) The other is called, The Day is Sunny Kiss( about the sunny day when at 18 she met and fell in love with,”Jesus”!) vimeo.com/312061203 ua-cam.com/video/YqVy2lmNpA4/v-deo.html&feature=share Note that on , Dream, the intro is not hers but is called, Diablo and is also featured in the movie, the Mummy, from a few years ago!
Sohyang did all her arrangement s by herself, she teaches music and writes fatasy novels.She is 43 years and a cancer survival.In a duet she blew Michael Bolton out of the water! OMG !! LOL !!
the craziest thing is this might not make my top 15 Sohyang performances. Check out her singing her own song, "Stay", on the show Begin Again which was recorded last year during the pandemic. Truly beautiful song and performance.
It is a well known back-ground story that, at the time of this incredible performance, she was going through very tough time because of pneumonia. And she was actually considering to retire entirely because of pain and everything... She confessed later that, before the stage, all she could do was praying to the lord that she would not mess up this beautiful song ㅜㅜ This is why you can hear the slight huskiness of her voice at the very beginning of the performance. Knowing that and listening to the lyrics, you can imagine what she was thinking when she was performing... There is no doubt that she is the living example of how the lord works on us. Thank you for this fantastic reaction vid. Great job!
Thank you for your reaction. Welcome to the world of Sohyang. She is one of the best in the world. Please react. 1. Everyone: This is the most difficult song in her life, Sohyang said. This song is a total set of all the techniques. 2. Lean on me: This song was performed in front of Michael Bolton. After the performance, Michael Bolton said. Sohyang is on the level of a master. Sohyang said her wish is to do a duet with Michael Bolton here. Later, Michael Bolton invited Sohyang to his concert and performed a duet together. If you look at the video, you'll be able to see the incredible improvisation of Sohyang in the duet. 3. Bridge over troubled water: It's a song of full emotion that doesn't need words. 4. Arirang alone: A song that expresses Korean emotions well, a movie-like song, a song that hit B flat5 with chest sound, I recommend it. 5. I have nothing : Another level!! 6. recently : Amazing Grace, I will always love you. 7. * Rap * : Day Day!!!!
i want to hear her with josh on this song as a duet .... she is 43 absolutely angelic voice i have heard her before, some refer to her as the Korean Mariah Carey and yes she has that power of whitney houston in her abilities. tom need to stir you to another cross section of josh you might be interested in hearing and also hearing you feed back - Josh Groban - Bring Him Home or per te
Sohyang is not female Dimash! Dimash is male Sohyang. Sohyang's songs are emotionally excellent and she was born in 1978. Dimash sing technically good and he was born in 1994. Sohyang did not cover Josh Groban. This stage was made for the tribute to Shane Filan (the member of Westlife).
Cogratulations, you just discovered a gem. Sohyang is one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. This incredible arrangement is hers (she does all the arrangements for her performances, together with her team). What is even more incredible is that she was actually recovering from pneumonia when she sang this. Thank you for a great reaction and welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang.
This song was originally composed by Norweigan - Irish duo, Secret garden. Rolf Lovland was the composer and Brendan Graham, the Lyricist. This beautiful song has been performed by dozens of Artists Worldwide including Josh Groban. At around 6.40 you can see the camera zoom in on Shane Filan from the Global Irish `Boy Band`, Westlife, who first really put this song on the map with a wonderful performance. Sohyang has a fantastic voice and sings with so much emotion, and does a great job here, even if it`s not my favourite interpretation. I just think the original is so good that it does not need to be altered in any major way. That is not to take away anything from her performance here. She is a star.
The Whitney and Mariah comparison is literally the most common thing you hear people say. Her influences are very apparent in her style. She is a rare human. She's always heavily involved in the arrangements she sings, she has absolutely incredible technique that is essentially self taught. She's written fantasy novels, and so much more. She could be touring the world making millions, but instead, every performance she gives is something she chooses specifically to do. Her music is not for making money, it's for comforting those in need. And in every performance, you can see she completely connects to the song she's singing. Her musicality and technique are born out of years of singing and her sheer passion for expressing herself through song.
Your expression consisted of all kinds of nerves listening to music. Your reaction to music sincerely is the best. If it's always like this, you can be the god of your reaction. I am also a sincere fan of Sohyang. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this video. I listened this Gospel song many times from her. It is really graceful and deep inspired emotion because she is one of sincere Christian.
I was hoping to introduce you to Sohyang on the livestream yesterday but you already knew her. 👍 So you found another gem, Tom, and I'm glad she is on your channel now. In my opinion she's on par with the big names like Celine, Whitney and Mariah. She's not only an incredible singer but also a very humble, down to earth human being who is not chasing the fame and money. If you are looking for a song with Asian vibes then check out her cover of the traditional Korean song Arirang alone. It's a beautiful song. But you can't go wrong with anything sung by the wonderful Sohyang. "Everyone" and "Where are you" are also fantastic. If you would like to react to any of these two song please go to vimeo because there are versions with English subs.
Your wife would love Sohyang's recent cover of Whitney's "I Will Always Love You" Acoustic version: risk of being blocked ua-cam.com/video/DO845EqU3eE/v-deo.html Full Band version: block safe ua-cam.com/video/6SjovhE1uVg/v-deo.html
I really want many people to request ‘NPR’, the tiny desk show to invite SoHyang to their show to perform! It will bring so much solace, hope & joy to people all over the world in this hard times!
Thank you for react on Sohyang. What you've already said it's truly true, one hundred percent. Once again thank you for a great reaction. See you on more of her. Stay safe xx
Tom.. Like many, I’ve dropped req & have hoped you would hear & see ♥️ SoHyang, who you’re right… she’s special! THX’s what a phenomenal reaction ♥️ You get it!
Hi, you have just discovered the best female singer, in my opinion! I suggest you to listen Sohyang's cover I have nothing, or I always love you... Goosebumps the whole performance! And of course, welcome to Sohyang's world!😃
i could seriously watch you listen to sohyang, dimash, & katrina velarde all day long. you will learn much about the earth angel known as sohyang from her adoring fans, but i will contribute this much: this woman's spirit, soul, gumption, endurance, warmth, love, & selflessness seriously have kept me going at times, not even joking in the slightest. sohyang stated she sings to bring joy to others & i've yet to see a performance from her that proves otherwise. her clarity & pure tonality in her head voice are extraordinary, but the power in her vibrato is also something else (likely part of the whitney vibe you were picking up on). she has covers of whitney's "i have nothing" (2015 dmc festival), & "i will always love you" (live, begin again korea concert series) that are some of my favorites of her's. i could tell you felt the vibe her soul is putting out there into this chaotic world; please continue to feel & enjoy it with us all. ♥️
Eversince I started to hear her sing, she's now my top favourite female singer. Songs from her like Bridge over troubled water, Lean on me, Arirang alone & Everyone... They are mind boggling
So Hyang is a 43 year old devout Christian and gospel singer from South Korea. In her early 20's and newly married, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, which left her unable to have children. After being healed by God, her goal has been to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times. She is not motivated by either money or fame. She has rejected numerous offers from major record labels. She is a published author of several books of fiction. She also lectures about singing and vocal technique at a South Korean university. She speaks fluent English. Even when she sings in Korean, it isn't necessary to understand the lyrics, because So Hyang is BRILLIANT at conveying the message/meaning of the song. Many of her performances she is singing ballads. However, she conquers every genre of music, including rock and rap ('Day Day'). She can spit bars as good as any rapper.
Hello Tom ^^ I'm a fan of SoHyang .. Thank you for letting her know Her song always gives hope to everyone :)) Next plz .. SoHyang's "I won't give up" ^~^
You should listen to her performance of "Lean on me". She won a competition in Canada that she never had heard about for year best musical performance. Now, that is quality!
Welcome to Sohyang's world. She is a devoted Christian and gospel singer. Bring in your mom and wife in the channel to watch Sohyang sing 1) Bridge over troubled water on Immortal song 2 2) Lean on me on Immortal song 2 3) I will always love you on Begin Again Korea 4) I have nothing on DMC FESTIVE 5) If I ain't got you on Begin Again Korea 6) Everyone on Vimeo apps because this song a Korea gospel song in South Korea language. Vimeo has English subtitle. Best with English subtitle so that you understand lyrics better. Trust me you won't regret it. BTW I like your reaction.

Try Every0ne or Never Enough or I got Nothing, all great covers
Listen to ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ sung by Sohyang. The arrangement is good and the song is really good.

Still I can't believe that she was really sick because she has pneumonia.
She was very sick at this time with pneumonia and she sang like this. THE BEST in this planet
"It's on another universe" Can't stop LOL after having tears listening to the song.
QUEEN SOHYANG!!!
또보러 왔어요. 가끔씩 와서 보고 가요. 오늘도 감동받고 갑니다. 고마워요 톰!
She is not just singing. She always touches my heart. There are other singers who have such a high note, and they can surprise me. But Sohyang, she can make me tear up. Perfect technique, Perfect high note, perfect emotion and Perfect stage presence. She always sings with her sincerity and takes all the audiences to her own place.
Let's go to "Bridge over the troubled water" and "Lean on me" from the same TV show. You will meet another best-ever cover : ) *However she is not the female version of Dimash. She is just Sohyang. Thank you for giving chance to Sohyang 💜
Yeahhh she is herself i hate when they say that she is a female version of dimash she is better
@@youcefkenane8973 Yeah, how could Sohyang be a female version of Dimash? Sohyang sang a song for lulling a baby to sleep when Dimash could only be creeping with his dispper.
agree 1000%
She touches my soul.
A woman who overcame cancer and all kinds of hardship. She becomes the lyrics. She becomes the song. Absolute killer.
이 세상 최고의 악기는 소향의 목이다 저 노래를 부를 당시 소향은 3년간 폐렴에 걸린 상태였다... 소향은 13년이 넘는 동안 ccm 가수였으며
암을 이겨내고 신이 다시 우리에게 돌려준 인류의 보물이다
감동이구요 ~ 이시대의 마음, 생 의 희망.
암 극복하고 가수에게 치명적인 폐려을 앓고 저 무대보면 소향님이 힘들어 보이고 보는내내 맘이 아프네요,,다른편으로 본다면 불쌍히 보일수도있고요,
이곡이 마지막이될지도 모르니 이번곡 망치지않게 해달라고 기도하고 부른 이곡 기적이었네요,
그녀가 살아온 삶 , 정상에 올랐어도 성품이 겸손합니다,
그런 그녀가 우리나라의 미래와 희마믈 안겨 주었고 국보가 되었나이다
내가 젤 존경하는 사람이 되었네요,
and another!
her style arrangement.
holy new version.
can we all just take a minute and appreciate her back up background choir...absolutely flawless!

I agree, she has control of vocals.
Shane Filan, a vocalist of the band Westlife, stands up and claps as soon as Sohyang's song is over. He praised her on this day. 😄

Yes sir in my opinion one of the best soulful and wonderful singer in the world. I completely agree with you Dimash best man singer and SoHyang best woman singer in the world.
So Hyang is one of the best singers EVER, there is no discussion.

Bridge Over trouble water (on inmortal songs)

진짜 국보급~~~
Sohyang did all her arrangement s by herself, she teaches music and writes fatasy novels.She is 43 years and a cancer survival.In a duet she blew Michael Bolton out of the water! OMG !! LOL !!
전설인 세인파일란님입장에서 자신의노래를 너무 멋있고 한편의뮤지컬같이불러주니얼마나감동일까요?입맛도다시드만 ㅎㅎㅎ
입맞 다시는것 봤네요 나두요
the craziest thing is this might not make my top 15 Sohyang performances. Check out her singing her own song, "Stay", on the show Begin Again which was recorded last year during the pandemic. Truly beautiful song and performance.
She sang with Josh! There’s a clip on UA-cam somewhere.
It is a well known back-ground story that, at the time of this incredible performance, she was going through very tough time because of pneumonia. And she was actually considering to retire entirely because of pain and everything... She confessed later that, before the stage, all she could do was praying to the lord that she would not mess up this beautiful song ㅜㅜ This is why you can hear the slight huskiness of her voice at the very beginning of the performance. Knowing that and listening to the lyrics, you can imagine what she was thinking when she was performing... There is no doubt that she is the living example of how the lord works on us. Thank you for this fantastic reaction vid. Great job!
Every time I listen to one of her songs, I get goose pimples and tears in my eyes. THAT has never happened before. I bow down to her!!!
Thank you for your reaction.
Welcome to the world of Sohyang.
She is one of the best in the world.
Please react.
1. Everyone: This is the most difficult song in her life, Sohyang said. This song is a total set of all the techniques.
2. Lean on me: This song was performed in front of Michael Bolton. After the performance, Michael Bolton said. Sohyang is on the level of a master. Sohyang said her wish is to do a duet with Michael Bolton here. Later, Michael Bolton invited Sohyang to his concert and performed a duet together. If you look at the video, you'll be able to see the incredible improvisation of Sohyang in the duet.
3. Bridge over troubled water: It's a song of full emotion that doesn't need words.
4. Arirang alone: A song that expresses Korean emotions well, a movie-like song, a song that hit B flat5 with chest sound, I recommend it.
5. I have nothing : Another level!!
6. recently : Amazing Grace, I will always love you.
7. * Rap * : Day Day!!!!
i want to hear her with josh on this song as a duet .... she is 43 absolutely angelic voice i have heard her before, some refer to her as the Korean Mariah Carey and yes she has that power of whitney houston in her abilities. tom need to stir you to another cross section of josh you might be interested in hearing and also hearing you feed back - Josh Groban - Bring Him Home or per te
이 곡을 들을 때마다 부모님의 은혜에 신의 은총에 감사의 눈물이 납니다.
눈물 !! 또 눈물.. 소향 이기에...
Sohyang is not female Dimash!
Dimash is male Sohyang.
Sohyang's songs are emotionally excellent and she was born in 1978.
Dimash sing technically good and he was born in 1994.
Sohyang did not cover Josh Groban.
This stage was made for the tribute to Shane Filan (the member of Westlife).
Cogratulations, you just discovered a gem. Sohyang is one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. This incredible arrangement is hers (she does all the arrangements for her performances, together with her team). What is even more incredible is that she was actually recovering from pneumonia when she sang this. Thank you for a great reaction and welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang.
This song was originally composed by Norweigan - Irish duo, Secret garden. Rolf Lovland was the composer and Brendan Graham, the Lyricist. This beautiful song has been performed by dozens of Artists Worldwide including Josh Groban. At around 6.40 you can see the camera zoom in on Shane Filan from the Global Irish `Boy Band`, Westlife, who first really put this song on the map with a wonderful performance. Sohyang has a fantastic voice and sings with so much emotion, and does a great job here, even if it`s not my favourite interpretation. I just think the original is so good that it does not need to be altered in any major way. That is not to take away anything from her performance here. She is a star.
당신 리액션 최고~~
최고다
같은 하늘에 있어서 고마워요 소항♥️
리액션 마음에 듭니다.^^
소향님이 이날따라 지쳐보였는데, 폐렴으로 투병중이셨다니..
그래서 그런지 이노래를 들을 때마다 더 눈물이나요
소향님의 상태와 가사가 잘 맞아 떨어지죠..그래서 모든 사람들이 더 감동이었을 겁니다❤
Thank you for the reaction.
Welcome to Sohyang's world~^^
This song sung by Sohyang is my favorite song~🥰😍👑
Angelic Sohyang~😇😇😇
The Whitney and Mariah comparison is literally the most common thing you hear people say. Her influences are very apparent in her style.
She is a rare human. She's always heavily involved in the arrangements she sings, she has absolutely incredible technique that is essentially self taught. She's written fantasy novels, and so much more.
She could be touring the world making millions, but instead, every performance she gives is something she chooses specifically to do. Her music is not for making money, it's for comforting those in need. And in every performance, you can see she completely connects to the song she's singing. Her musicality and technique are born out of years of singing and her sheer passion for expressing herself through song.
A warm welcome to Sohyang world, you just started your journey to another world.
You can try Sohyang - bridge over trouble water
She is a Goddess, thank you for your reaction.
world top singer
Amazing reaction! She is beyond amazing!
진짜 천국까지 닿을 듯한 성량이다.
Your expression consisted of all kinds of nerves listening to music. Your reaction to music sincerely is the best. If it's always like this, you can be the god of your reaction. I am also a sincere fan of Sohyang. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this video.
I listened this Gospel song many times from her.
It is really graceful and deep inspired emotion because she is one of sincere Christian.
I was hoping to introduce you to Sohyang on the livestream yesterday but you already knew her. 👍 So you found another gem, Tom, and I'm glad she is on your channel now. In my opinion she's on par with the big names like Celine, Whitney and Mariah. She's not only an incredible singer but also a very humble, down to earth human being who is not chasing the fame and money.
If you are looking for a song with Asian vibes then check out her cover of the traditional Korean song Arirang alone. It's a beautiful song. But you can't go wrong with anything sung by the wonderful Sohyang. "Everyone" and "Where are you" are also fantastic. If you would like to react to any of these two song please go to vimeo because there are versions with English subs.
와우!!놀라와..최고👍👍👍👍!
So Hyang’s voice can just penetrate your heart because she sing with her emotions and soul! Please to react more on her performances!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Your wife would love Sohyang's recent cover of Whitney's "I Will Always Love You"

I really want many people to request ‘NPR’, the tiny desk show to invite SoHyang to their show to perform!
It will bring so much solace, hope & joy to people all over the world in this hard times!
Thank you for react on Sohyang. What you've already said it's truly true, one hundred percent. Once again thank you for a great reaction. See you on more of her. Stay safe xx
Tom.. Like many, I’ve dropped req & have hoped you would hear & see ♥️ SoHyang, who you’re right… she’s special! THX’s what a phenomenal reaction ♥️ You get it!
Hi, you have just discovered the best female singer, in my opinion! I suggest you to listen Sohyang's cover I have nothing, or I always love you... Goosebumps the whole performance! And of course, welcome to Sohyang's world!😃
I love her! So glad you found her. She is fabulous 😍 ♥
the voice of faith overcoming cancer. This is what Christianity calls a miracle if it exists.
Thanks for reaction 😊😲😱😭
i could seriously watch you listen to sohyang, dimash, & katrina velarde all day long. you will learn much about the earth angel known as sohyang from her adoring fans, but i will contribute this much: this woman's spirit, soul, gumption, endurance, warmth, love, & selflessness seriously have kept me going at times, not even joking in the slightest.
sohyang stated she sings to bring joy to others & i've yet to see a performance from her that proves otherwise.
her clarity & pure tonality in her head voice are extraordinary, but the power in her vibrato is also something else (likely part of the whitney vibe you were picking up on).
she has covers of whitney's "i have nothing" (2015 dmc festival), & "i will always love you" (live, begin again korea concert series) that are some of my favorites of her's.
i could tell you felt the vibe her soul is putting out there into this chaotic world; please continue to feel & enjoy it with us all. ♥️
Those are my top three as well. As well as Régine Velasquez.
I totally agree with you.... Love your reaction!!!
Welcome to the world of Sohyang. I was like your reaction at first. Thanks for the reaction video.
Eversince I started to hear her sing, she's now my top favourite female singer. Songs from her like Bridge over troubled water, Lean on me, Arirang alone & Everyone... They are mind boggling
So Hyang is a 43 year old devout Christian and gospel singer from South Korea. In her early 20's and newly married, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, which left her unable to have children. After being healed by God, her goal has been to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times. She is not motivated by either money or fame. She has rejected numerous offers from major record labels. She is a published author of several books of fiction. She also lectures about singing and vocal technique at a South Korean university. She speaks fluent English. Even when she sings in Korean, it isn't necessary to understand the lyrics, because So Hyang is BRILLIANT at conveying the message/meaning of the song. Many of her performances she is singing ballads. However, she conquers every genre of music, including rock and rap ('Day Day'). She can spit bars as good as any rapper.
So yang is in a league of her own,no riffs, trills just her vocals ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Tom ^^
I'm a fan of SoHyang .. Thank you for letting her know
Her song always gives hope to everyone :))
Next plz .. SoHyang's "I won't give up" ^~^
퀸소향 ~👍
So Hyang is one of d best female vocalist around. A master of her own instrument... Can stand toe-to-toe with Mariah Carrey, Whitney Houston
한수 워
진솔하고 정확한 리액션에 박수를~!!
You should listen to her performance of "Lean on me". She won a competition in Canada that she never had heard about for year best musical performance. Now, that is quality!
Speaking of Whitney, Sohyang does a killer version of, " I Will Always Love You."😎
She’s no joke… she’s the best
Welcome to Sohyang's world. She is a devoted Christian and gospel singer. Bring in your mom and wife in the channel to watch Sohyang sing
1) Bridge over troubled water on Immortal song 2
2) Lean on me on Immortal song 2
3) I will always love you on Begin Again Korea
4) I have nothing on DMC FESTIVE
5) If I ain't got you on Begin Again Korea
6) Everyone on Vimeo apps because this song a Korea gospel song in South Korea language. Vimeo has English subtitle. Best with English subtitle so that you understand lyrics better. Trust me you won't regret it.
BTW I like your reaction.
So awesome to hear! Thank you
