Honestly performing WELL at Coachella says a lot because artists are performing in the worst conditions ever. It's hot, windy, and sandy, and ppl are drunk and a bit gross in general. If you can sing well in such an uncontrollable environment, it deserves so much praise and respect 👍🏻👍🏻

Nmixx's stage practices have become a thing I Iook forward to each comeback, they are just incredible!

it's frustrating when BTOB is called monster of live vocal by the industry but not included here.

For me, Red Velvet and Mamamoo is the pinnacle of live singing. They are never afraid to do it live even happier if they can do it live.

Thanks for highlighting Jihyo, Nayeon and Jeongyeon. They sound so stable when performing compared to the rest of the group so you can see they put a lot of effort into their live singing

MAMAMOO, Nmixx, EXO, red velvet, kiss of life, svt and sf9 has the best vocals and I personally think they don’t need any of those backtracks.

MAMAMOO, BTOB, SHINEE, EXO, RED VELVET, SNSD = Live Vocal Power no matter the singing conditions. They don’t hide from encores and behind heavily engineered vocals. They sound good anywhere and with confidence.

dk being the first example speaks so much

ATEEZ cocals at choachella were just so amazing!!!

Loving the Kiss of Life appreciation! They are truly amazing in so many ways and to think they aren't even a year old as a group.

Nmixx thank you for existing And making live singing popular again🙏

I was really proud to see ateez doing such a good job at coachella

And of course all the SM appreciation, not surprising. Your work is also giving me an appreciation for NMIXX too!

I love how pretty much every single jyp artist is extremely stable live with those hard choreos they have. They value talent and I love that for them

Thank you DK of SVT. HYBE almost did not make it to any of the categories shown. 💀👀

EXO CREAM SODA behind the recording is crazy good because how perfectionists these guys are.

SM didn't upload that Irene and Seulgi's practice video but Irene sent it on bubble in low quality lol. But they sound so stable & good even while dancing. I wish SM let them perform on stage with minimal backing track. They're clearly capable.

Nmixx and kiss of life >>>>>

i think the lack of live vocals in kpop atm is why i’m starting to gravitate towards kbands! groups like xdinary heroes, day 6, lucy, the rose and more consistently sing live and it’s just so refreshing to me (especially as the vocals are always insanely good) it’s even better when they get to play their instruments live too! i feel like the standards for kpop groups and kbands are pretty different though seeing as kbands don’t dance and so the main performance element is through their voices and music

Mamamoo is the pinnacle of live singing and performing for idol group in SK

Thankful that I stan ATEEZ, AESPA, KIOF, SNSD, and EXO.

Thank you for adding Itzy in here bc they are often not included in vocals when they can all sing stably while dancing difficult choreography

Dreamcatcher, Red Velvet and Mamamoo are epitome of live singing and charisma on stage! They need to be on Coachella

One defense I see a lot of fans falling back on nowadays is that it's unrealistic to expect live vocals with involved choreography and for awhile as kpop routines got more and more intricate I accepted that as an explanation. But then it dawned on me that that's a bare minimum expectation for a performer. Anyone who wants to be an idol and perform onstage should at the very least be expected to dance and sing decently and there's a plethora of examples to pull from showing that it's possible. If companies care enough to appropriately prepare idols for debut that would be the norm. Instead the criteria keeps getting diluted to the point where it becomes widely accepted that a group won't even be able to approximate their recorded sound even if they're standing still. Performance quality should always matter if for nothing other than respect for artistry. If fans want the prestige and bragging rights of their faves being recognized for their talent and artistry then they need to expect that from the people they support.

Mamamoo, Red Velvet and BTOB. I don’t think you mentioned them enough. And for me nowaday people care too much about just hiting the note right (because most of idols now can’t), but not enough about actually enjoy music while singing. Like you can hear Solar excitement in that like 3s clip, not just her singing the rock song live. (Funfact: Most of Mamamoo concerts have more than 50% of no backing track and 100% of live vocal. Even their solo concerts)

I only trust Ateez, SVT, KIOF, Mamamoo, Btob, xikers and SM artists to have good live vocals

Exo, red velvet and nmixx are on top, especially nmixx is really a top tier group

Mad respect and endless props to every K-pop group that sings and dances live!

Mamamoo deserves to feature more on this video, you shouldve make them as an example for each chapter. They excel everything in terms of vocal, dance or even stage presence (theyre good at commanding audience). Please watch their concerts and youll see what I mean. Mostly ive seen are from Big 3 Companies

“Singers should be able to sing, right?” Jojo 😂😂

For me girl Generation, Exo and Red Velvet are best when it comes to live singing. Today's idol start touching their earpiece for bad singing while back in days snsd used to sing entire song without any earpiece

I wish BoA got more love when it comes to live singing. She’s no stranger to lipsyncing, of course, but most of her concerts are 100% (or very close to being 100%) live. She always sounds great and has such wonderful stage presence. I know she’s 1st gen and not as popular anymore, but it would be nice if more people sung her praises. She’s so good.

I think dreamcatcher deserved a spot in this video, i know they are not the best tecnically speaking, but their commitment to sing live with their hard coreos is really impressive and outstanding in kpop. However great job as usual

The Cream Soda recording behind was one of the best things I've seen in a while, I was truly mindblown. Highly recommend everyone to go watch it, you will not be disappointed.

Mamamoo, THE one and only

i really love when you do videos like this showcasing singing, because as someone w/no vocal experience it really helps me differentiate between live and backtrack (besides the egregious examples) hope ur doing well!

SHINee and Girls Generations will always be amazing at singing live

Mamamoo hip and dinga dance practice have live vocals. even if they are half serious it’s great

God I wish we could go back to (real) live singing being an automatic expectation when it comes to music show performances. I'm sorry but these newer groups cannot use the excuse of "their choreos are much harder" to be lip syncing almost all their music show performances because as a 2nd gen stan myself, I can confidently say this is just not true. 2nd gen choreos were just as dynamic and challenging in their own ways, and yet they still managed to sing live for most of their performances because it was the norm, it was the general expectation. maybe if we made it the norm again, these kpop companies will train their new artists better before debuting them instead of relying on modern technology to hide the fact that they can't sing for shit.

Kyungsoo just had a comeback and we've been blessed to see multiple lives with him! I'd love to see you do a special on his vocal type and your opinions on his performances >< especially his cover of love wins all by iu ♡

I’m happy vocals are being called out now in k pop. There are too many performers that are lip singing and can’t sing well live, when they should be trying to improve their singing. This is why kiss of life are getting noticed because they sing live so well.

Nmixx, kiss of life, btob, exo, ailee, hyorin from sistar, and mamamoo ❤

MAMAMOO ✨ THE ONLY GROUP WINNING BEST VOCAL 3 TIMES IN ROW IN MAMA

Onew recently had 3 fanmeets where he sang live acoustic versions of his songs. I can’t express how refreshing it was and how many years it added back to my life

SHINee debut singing live and still singing live today

The lack of clips for ateez🥲 I hope we can get an ateez vocal video soon wether it’s a ranking/analysis or about review of their Coachella performance (little scared of what you’ll say tbh😅). If you do end up making a video like that then I hope you check out the most recent ATEEZ immortal songs performance. For Jongho I think you should check out a video of him singing ‘Everything’ at their concert. I’m also very curious if Jongho’s high note for wonderland at Coachella was good. It sounded better to me but I don’t know.

what i personally love about jihyo's voice is the unique open quality and fullness she brings to her belting. wendy, solar and jihyo, they have these powerful voices

I will forever love Mamamoo. ❤

Imagine stanning NMIXX… The taste you have… The genius you are… The respect you have for yourself… Impeccable

I almost cried watching the EXO and SNSD on here 😭😭

Red velvet cover of wrong number is amazing, but the original 5 TVXQ was simple marvelous

Ateez really really REALLY impressed me at Coachella

Shinee has amazing live vocals with hard choreos.

ahhhh !! been waiting for this one !! hope you’re doing good in life, would love another live from you soon ! as always thank you

as a jyp stan i, so proud

if you want REAL SINGING with RAW VOCALS go to EXO and MAMAMOO.

Kiss of life is a group of skilled girlies 💗 they're going to be here for the long run

solar sounds exactly the same, if not better, for her 'But I' encore stage. it's amazing and so clearly live! 🤯

Another day of thanking god for making me an EXO-L.

ATEEZ ate up the Coachella

For me, the groups that can sing live are Mamamoo and BTOB

Don't let them find out about SM idols singing live and eating up most idols vocally, they're not ready for the fact that SM idols do sing live and are one of the best Vocalists of their generation 🤭

love your videos on this topic!!!

Thank you for selecting DK’s vocal as example it’s proven that the voice teachers said his voice is instruments that’s his voice sounds so good no need editing or supporting

I wasn`t expecting a video so soon, I loved it! Thanks for always delivering :) But remember to take time to rest, hope you're doing well!

Something about jyp artists is incredible Even though Itzy is dance based group but they never lacked in serving vocals. Not might be the best on vocal term but they sure can sing well and one of the stable vocalist group. Their live vocal serves well. I'm not jyp stan or big fan of itzy but I can't deny how professional they're

LOVE THIS CHANNEL, OMG

I feel like a lot of people dont talk about itzy’s live singing is because when itzy first started out, a lot of their title tracks had a good amount of talk singing on them. The actual parts singing to a melody were divided up very cleverly and i think it was done on purpose. So a lot of people are of the impression their songs are still structured like that when they aren’t. Really thinking about their songs dalla dalla-loco most of the verses of their songs were talk singing, some rap, and maybe one or two lines of singing. itzy improved on their live singing abilities alot though.

Wendy performed ALL her solo music show performances LIVE and I think that kind of bravery and hard work is underappreciated in kpop. I hope live singing becomes the standard and not exception in the industry.

i want to know how you think of rbw's artists and their vocals, i think rbw is kind of good at training or collecting good vocalists like SM....

aespa is so frustrating cos they always sound good but lipsync 98% of their music show performances SM needs to get with the times Red Velvet is also the case. They lipped their entire set in their recent performance. It's so hilarious to hear them sound immaculate when performing then the talking part comes and their mics turn on and the sound quality is night and day. Like... we know what Wendy and Seulgi sound like live, right? Why are you hiding their voices?

Thank you for adding NMIXX here. 🐳 Their vocal is soo 💯

Words can't describe how much I love NMIXX. Their passion for music and singing just connects with me so much.

the mere fact that SM was gatekeeping EXO's recording behind the scenes for such a long time shows how good they are in vocals dept. And they keep getting better and better.

I remember NMIXX haewon said in an interview, that their gen who JYP started the need to practice dancing jumping around while singing on mic as mandatory routine. Which different from TWICE gen where they practice sing and dance separately. Of course NMIXX has different coaching for dancing and singing, but still when practicing they MUST dance while singing. You guys can watch all their videos of choreography practice, all of them are dancing while singing live. Have fun!

i was just watching one of exo's obsession live stages and encore from 2019?? jaw was on the floor they're insane to pull off such incredible choreo while going OFF with their singing

I have been kpop fan since 2000 and beside of the music and the dance, also because the singing skill while dance is bare minimum at that time. thank you for adding the video when snsd debutting 🥺✨

Aespa never disappoints on their live vocal

Love this! If you have the time (maybe in the future?) could you make more compilations like this and maybe include more diverse artists from all generations?

Did you guys listen seungkwan "age" cover in nana tour without any instrument without mike just pure vocals, and dk this guy can sing even if he is drunk (cant guarantee if he will remember the melody🤭🤣)

Oh my dk 💕😭I fell for his voice the moment I heard his voice when I listened to aju nice 😌 Yes my Ateez 😭💕and the funniest part was there people mad that Ateez was so good at coachella 💀😂 And there’s a clip of jongho during arriba it was heavenly 😔💕

Seventeen the definition of live vocals even main rapper has good vocals

also, any live performance of the group N.flying is just chef's kiss. they are so talented!

Always love these showcases of how vocals work and actually sound. I’ve learned so much from these and they really introduced me to an entire genre of things to learn about singing and music ❤ it took my side passion to a whole new level. They have a special place in my heart for sure

Sullyoon’s effortless live vocal in the bridge of DICE and the fact that she’s arguably only the 3rd best vocalist in the group proves that NMIXX has the strongest vocalists overall. LOVE MY GIRLS

I'm very proud and happy for ROSÉ, she's never afraid to sing live, even though sometimes she's out of breath but she will definitely still try to sing live as much as she can 🤍

wish you would mention more of shinee on this vocal vids. for eg for recent perf u can check out Dont call me encore. leader of shinee, onew, also held a fan meet where he sang live with no backtracks recently.

I really admire rv irene and wendy's hard work on improving their vocals. Its rare to see especially they are in a 10-year old group. Their improvements vocally for the last 3 years is chef's kiss!

Mamamoo, KIOF, Dreamcatcher and BTOB will always be my favorites when it comes to live singing. I can appreciate NMIXX and Twice Jihyo, Nayeon and Jeongyeon too :)

I know there are many artists, but if you are going to do more parts you should definitely include BtoB, INFINITE, SHINee, EXO, Ailee and there are many more actually, KPOP is full of good artists

Amo que NMIXX este saliendo mas en videos acerca de vocales 😊

I recommended btob, you should listen to them.. Even in music show, you still heard their raw vocal

This video starting with DK's raw vocal talent made my day.... ❤

I suggest you listen watch one of the many Shinee rehearsals videos, since they were pretty known for giving their all in practices

1st clip,DK of seventeen 😍😍😍

I think new groups are starting to show more live singing, except for illit I think the groups debuting so far have good vocals and stability (Btw I'm not hating on illit, some of the girls have potential but they definitely need to improve). I'm curious to know your opinion about the new boygroups too, I think Riize and ZB1 are pretty good. Especially I love Zhang hao's voice and he's always singing louder than the backtrack, even during a dance practice he started to sing when no one was singing. I'm not sure if we will return to 2nd gen era but I wish, because I find more enjoyable to watch a performance with vocal flaws than a performance where they "sing" perfect but look like robots. That's the main reason why I prefer to watch old kpop awards shows

itzy always surprise me for being so stable while executing their difficult choreography. They are probably the in bottom few in terms of vocal technique amongst the well known 4th gen girl groups but their live performances are never lacking. normally when the dance starts to influence the ability to sing properly, it is very important to fall back on your vocal fundamentals, but with the weak of singing foundation among the members, im always amazed how they still sound so good. either they are tweaking their moves allowing them to have a stable core so the notes come out in a steady flow or they are just practising overtime in which i really commend their effort.

bro one group that was/is literally live singing like 95% or more of the time is 2PM, like even when some of them had bad days THEY WOULD BE LIVE SINGING!! of course they mostly have good days, but just wanted to throw some appreciation out to 2PM :3

Live singing... BTOB should be one of the first to come to mind.

10:09 I miss 2nd gen… although I wasn’t a Kpop stan. I wish nowadays groups would go fully live like NO backtrack. It would be so awesome :(
