Hey Britt, Bridge Over Troubled Water is not a gospel song, it was written in 1970 by Simon and Garfunkel, a duo famous for their Easy Listening music. That being said, Sohyang turned it into a gospel version, driving home it's inspirational message.

We tried to warn you 😊. The first reaction you did of So Hyang was just a little snack. This woman is amazing! You are correct, So Hyang is a gospel and CCM artist from South Korea. She sang with Kirk Franklin about 10 years ago when he visited there. Take care.

Told you that short I Will Always Love You snippet was just the tip of the iceberg. The song is actually not a gospel song per se...it was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel. You may be too young lol. There's a KZfaq clip of her singing Upon This Rock at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. Yes she's a CCM/GOSPEL singer but does mainstream music also

PS How did you not burst into tears when you heard this? I was a 61 year old man, and not given to emotion, and I cried copiously the first dozen times I listened to this song 3.5 years ago! In fact, I had to stop listening to it for a while it made me so overwrought! 🤔🤷‍♂😥😥😥

She is simply the best. Every time you watch her, she will surprise you all over again. She is a devoted Christian and not only a great singer, but an inspiration as a human being. Loved your reaction.

Korea was the only nation in Asia that openly accepted Christianity. They are also one of the major supplier of evangelists to the world. Perhaps she has a deep faith, and what we see is more than just natural, but supernatural.

It's a church song, alright. Welcome to the cathedral of Simon & Garfunkel. Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He and his vocal partner Art Garfunkel cranked out a slew of hits back in the day. Art is the lead singer on this all-time classic. This woman is absolutely incredible, but you owe it to your self to hear the original as well.

Thanks for your great reaction! So Hyang, to many, is the best female singer on the planet. She can sing anything, but certainly due to her roots in the church, she gravitates to gospel. This song, however, is a folk song from the late sixties by Simon and Garfunkel. She just re-arranged it and made it her own. She owned it. It is the best version ever done of the song, though some will stand by the original that has beautiful harmonies, but not the technical beauty and flexibility of So Hyang. She grew up never thinking she'd ever be a singer. She used to practice Mariah Carey's album 'Music Box' over and over and over. Then she met, through her eventual husband a family band (of which he is part). It was at 19 that she first started singing in public. I found all this out through a long interview on KZfaq. She has had very few lessons on singing, mostly self taught, though Seth Griggs (Michael Jackson's voice coach) did give a few pointers. She sings to bring joy to people, not to become reknown. It is evident that she brings the joy! For another day, there is "I Have Nothing' from the DMC Festival, her in a dark blue dress, where she may very well sing the greatest live version of that song, including the most incredible Whitney Houston (who I love). I know they would just love each other for they both are/were in awe of true musical talent, something this woman has on an otherworldly level... And there are many many more songs in Korean and English in this diva's repertoire. (She would never care to be called a diva, she is too humble). Thanks again!

Yes you're finally listen to someone 10 times better than Angelina Jordan

react to her version of Michael Bolton's ....Lean on ME . Never liked bolton's version ...but this lady just took the song and made it brand new.

Britt, well, you've done it. You are in Sohyang's World now - enjoy the journey. Just a bit of history about this elegant and beautiful lady. She started singing in church and grew up singing Gospel music. She learned to speak American English watching the Disney Channel and Pop music by listening to American singing stars. She has had no formal training except for a brief time with a vocal coach in the Nineties. She is 45 this year, so has been singing for over twenty-five years. She had cervical cancer at the age of twenty and believes that God saved her life so that she could devote her heavenly voice to comforting people who are struggling. You haven't heard of her because she has refused contracts with major music producers choosing instead to sing to bring joy to others. She does her own musical arrangements for her live stage appearances including the musical adaptation, the chorus and orchestra, the staging and lighting, and costumes. She is also an author and lectures on Music and Voice at University. There is more, but this could become a book. Next?

Welcome to the world of SoHyang~!!!

Sohyang worked as a gospel singer, but then turned to a popular singer. She showed the best performance in numerous live performances and broadcasts.

So Hyang simply owns this song now and now go check out I Will Always Love You but it has to be the video where she is singing at a Naval Base

BTW...So Hyang, her husband, and assistants, arrange every aspect of her live performances; the music, backing vocals, staging, etc.

Yes she is a gospel singer and cancer survivor and author.

Welcome to Queen Sohyang's world. :)

We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such

She is a gospel singer. Her main genre is CCM. Most all vocal coaches who have critiqued her covers, say she is the best female vocalist on the planet. Rivaling Mariah, Whitney and Celine. Once you here several more of her covers, you will understand why. This was just a tiny nugget of what she can do. She also arranges all of her covers herself. She is the brains behind the backing singers and the orchestra. She works with them all during practices and tells them how SHE wants them to come in.

Her belives shine the most, when The slaying queen So try to confort us.
