The title of this video is once again, inspired by @☆everglow-up☆ and her videos on stage presence in kpop. Cheryl, I'm waiting for more btw lol

The fact that Luna trained to be a main dancer yet ended up as a main vocalist tells us something

Luna is an underrated main vocal. All in all SM main vocals are in a different league. Ningning's potential is huge. Taeyeon's experience plays a lot in her technique and consistency. She does know how to play with her strength. Wendy is just the balance of all. And she is constantly improving.

I've always thought Luna was super underrated. She's such a strong vocalist

Somestimes Taeyeon's belts are so powerful her whole body vibrates because of the ammount of energy she pulls out. I've noticed it a few times in the Into The New World ballad, The Boys and Fine. You can see her diaphragm moving with the vibrato in 10:08 and shaking her dress. It's sheer power 🤯

It's just Taeyeon's ability to put emotions in the song that I can't resist.. That's why she's the best for me cause nobody else made me feel this way🥺 But needles to say the other sm main vocalists slayyyyyyyyy

In my opinion Luna was the most underrated vocalist in SM. To think that she was supposed to be a main dancer but ended up becoming a vocal monster speaks volume. She's incredible to hear and I can't believe it's for free.

I really believe Ningning could be so much better, she hasn't show up her full potential yet thanks to the SM ENTERTAINMENT who makes them lipsync almost everytime, but we know she's great and could be even more amazing if she keeps training live and if she gains confidence in the stage, she would be unstoppable.

I still can’t believe that SM wasted the talents of f(x) as a whole, especially Luna, who is such a strong vocalist, and not just for these points. I mean she out sung Red Light, a very loud EDM track that the other f(x) members couldn’t even sing over…that is a skill. She even sung Pretty Girl mostly on her own in that musical and almost rivaled the original track. Luna is such an angelic voice that’s got jack shit for her talent. Glad Broadway was totally up for her. Sm needs to push the visual crap down the toilet, since they worry about that crap way too much and let their artists actually sing, especially Ningning.

the thing about Taeyeon is not only about her voice but how she puts emotions into it. I love sm main vocalist they don't skip a beat

luna and lina are such sublime vocalists it baffles me how overlooked they are when speaking about vocal goddesses especially in sm where they’re the best lol and yes hope ning is able to showcase her full prowess eventually love her

Luna's Bb5 head voice in that immortal song's performance was incredible too, so full and clear!

I go for taeyeon bigger consistently resonance and tone, wendy amazing vibrato, luna supported ranges and head voice, ningning amazing lower notes

I'm glad you included Luna's legendary E5 in Pinocchio's comeback stage, they had their first win there 🥺💖 that was when I became a f(x) Stan because of her

It's unfortunate that the other 3 girls have more recognition among kpop fans than Luna. It's even more unfortunate that SM's actual best female vocalist, Lina, has even less recognition than Luna. When it comes to ranking them, it's Lina>Luna>Taeyeon>=Wendy>=Bada>>>Ningning. You should definitely check out both Lina and Bada.

Yes!!! Thank u for including Luna, she's so insanely skilled! Also; SM, let aespa sing live challenge.

I love Luna and f(x) I hate how she never gets mentioned when talking about sm vocalist

Luna is incredible, I miss her in kpop, wish I was in the US so I could see her new show

Taeyeon's Bb4-C#5 is still ringing in my ear LMAO that's definitely her comfort belting range

not being biased but among all kpop vocalist I've ever heard so far, Wendy is really the one who has a versatile voice, she can sing anything and best 🥰💙

Wendy is truly amazing💙

Wendy debuted with a vocal nodules. Imagine what she would capable to do if that didn’t happen to her

I can’t take the Psycho intro seriously anymore, I can’t unhear the meme version😭😭😂

taeyeon is one of the most popular vocalists in more than a decade of kpop, talking about her voice you have to evaluate it comprehensively, if you consider each vocal rank, she is not number 1 but talking about a voice with good technique, beautiful voice color, and excellent ability to express emotions -Taeyeon's voice is so perfect, her voice is delicate, her voice is intelligent, emotional and extremely magical. , you must know her 15 years of enduring popularity is maintained mainly by her voice without too much extra work in other fields, it can be said that her voice is already an icon

Luna is the best vocalist SM ever produced, and probably like the top Kpop vocalist or at least like top 3. If there’s a Kpop vocal trinity she’d definitely be there

The fact that Luna was casted by the dancing.I have no word！

Im glad that you are using Wendy's youngstreet clips on your newest vids 😁 Those are 100% live and showcases Wendy's latest vocal abilities

Great opportunity for you to check on some of others SM main vocalists like Bada from SES, Lina and Dana from The Grace and SNSD former member Jessica.

what makes taeyeon's voice my favorite is that I can feel every word stings my heart when she sings . she has a way of conveying the meaning of songs much easier which made her gain the title queen of ballad like baek jiyoung

I can listen to Wendy sing all day.

Thank you for showing queen Luna so much love!! As a MeU I'll never be over how badly f(x) was treated by SM, but I'm glad to know that people are still appreciating her amazing vocals!! She will always be my favorite 2nd gen vocalist 💖

In FX, Luna was my bias for her vocals and stage performance but I had no idea she was this talented.

I'll say only one thing : there's a reason Luna is the first K-Pop girl that will step on the scene as a Broadway actress. She's soooooooo good, please don't forget her

TAEYEON is truly amazing ❤️✨ her beltings are the best her resonance makes it go straight to your ears it's impressive

Wendy 💙😇 If SM gave her (and Luna, I think) more spotlight, it would be so amazing..

One thing I think Ningning struggles with is confidence. She always seems very timid to go fully off when singing live and I blame SM because of the pressure from people’s expectations when aespa does perform live because they almost never can. I still think Ningning can improve her chest mix to get a bigger belt, but I wonder if she will improve in that direction. Almost the anti taeyeon bc taeyeon was a little too chesty before As for Ningning’s vocal agility, she’s done some live runs before and they’re quite clean and precise (albeit not too complex) I feel like it’s one of her strengths alongside her lower register

Luna is the top one forever ♡ she's in a BROADWAY MUSICAL cast she's not an idol anymore, she's a complete artist. My bias ultimate i'm so proud of her

Luna is unbelievably talented, I’m so excited to see her getting her spotlight on Broadway!

To my ears Wendy sounds the best.

I knew it was gonna be Luna even before watching this video. Thank you for including her in this list. Most people tend to leave f(x) out of the equation when they talk about SM. Pun definitely intended

You should listen to Lina she's from SM as well but she's not that well known she's in fact a bit stronger than Luna.

It was f(x) 13th Anniversary yesterday and it feels so good hearing People appreciate the wonderful singer and performer Luna is. She is truly amazing and outstanding... I can't wait to hear her sing again in the broadway musical kpop.

Thank you for not forgetting Luna 🙏 ❤️ One of my all time favorite kpop vocalists!!

Luna is SO UNDERRATED. Her music is so good.

I was impressed by NingNing's performance of Way with Onew during the recent SM concert in Tokyo. She did very well singing with such an experienced and acclaimed singer as Onew.

Thanks for including Luna here, she’s really amazing and it’s so sad how Sm wasted her talent..

Luna is one of thes Best Kpop Vocalist in SM entertainment and even SM didn't utilize or promote her well. That company f*** f(x) over.

I hesitated in watching this video. I fear there is just too much bias when it comes to artists, but I’m glad to say this video was nothing of the sort. Everything you said I agreed with, there was no favoritism. You provided examples and spoken on them. The ending results are similar to what I believe is true. I’ve said this several times: Luna has been SM’s best vocalist and they let her go. Truly dropped the ball. Oh, and Red Velvet is my ult group. WHERE MY PINKBLOODS AT? (IYKYK)

That E5 at 11:58 is simply amazing😭. You should've put Taeyeon's belted C5 singing 'Lost in Love' with Tiffany, it's one of the best C5s in kpop! Ningning has showed some runs on 'Illusion' too. Unfortunately, there's no live of that.

Ning's lower register in Dreams Come True is worthy to note too. She went down to D3 during "1 2 3..." lyrics when Karina sang it with her in the beginning rap of the song.

Aespa sang live at their Korean and Japanese showcases- inducing b sides like Yeppi Yeppi, ICU, Lucid Dream, they also sang at SM concerts in Korea and Japan. They also did Tokyo Girls collection a few days ago where they sang Next level and Black mamba. Also Life's too short on Jimmy Fallon (Basically they did everything live but Girls and Illusion and Savage in all of named preformances) You can find some fancams.

Wendy and taeyeon ‘s vocals are no joke

Taeyeon is indeed the main of all main vocals not just in SM but the whole Kpop industry, a real artist, OST Queen... jus King thingzzzz....

I really love luna vocal kinda sad she haven't get much opportunity to shine during her era

Taeyeon's my favorite female vocalist in KPOP together with IU, Wendy and MAMAMOO.

Thank you so much for making this video i never knew about Luna’s insane vocal im in love with her voice now

I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS VIDEO. I am such a huge fan of Luna. When she finally made her solo debut, I was so enchanted. Unfortunately, we know what it is now with f(x). I got so sad that she is getting forgotten. At least some recognition

taeyeon's C5 in Holler always gives me chills

for me ofc Taeyeon is the best vocalist of the SM Ent. for a reason! she's Diva in South Korea .. ❤

Would love to see Boa, Bada, Taeyeon, Jessica, Seohyun, Luna, Wendy, Seulgi, Ning Ning and Winter battle it out.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUU only MeUs know how much Luna is underrated it's always so annoying to see people not even mention her when it comes to SM's vocalists, and this has happened since f(x) was active. I've known for some years now that she is indeed one of the best vocalists kpop ever had but some people seriously think that seniority comes above facts when we compare her to Taeyeon.

I’m so glad that you mentioned Luna! Thank you for the analysis and would be very happy to see from the male of sm too!

I feel so embarrassed that I didn't know much about luna when she is such a great vocalist. The other 3 are amazing too. But it's so sad on our part to not know someone who is so amazing at their work

AMAZING ANALYSIS! You are always on point 👌 I agree with all your points, specially abt Luna, she's definitely the best out of these 4, it's so sad to see that she's still so underrated, thanks for appreciating her incredible skills and talent! Of course, my fave Wendy 💖 is undeniably amazing as well, same as Tae and Ning. P.D.: I thought you will mention Bada, Lina and Jessica. I guess it's because new stans don't know them 🥺🥺

I wish you had included Bada, Boa and Lina too.

Luna is do underrated and I love her so much. Thank you for this ranking

All the girls from SM is so talent S.E.S The Grace Girls' Generation F(x) Red velvet Aespa

i’m so happy luna gets the recognition she deserves ❤️ she and kyuhyun are my favorite sm vocalists just in terms of sheer objective technique 😊

I wish Taeyeon participated in more vocally oriented shows like Immortal Songs or even KOMS like girl, let's do it. Even Wendy seems to have more participation in said shows. Haha. I feel like it would really help polish her skills and improve even further.

I saw Taeyeon live in her concert in my city last year. Recordings don't make her voice justice, as great as they sound. I thought I was dreaming until halfway through the concert. Her voice makes you feel things, I don't know how to explain it. Her vocals is an experience in itself. I cried many times in her concert, which is kind of embarassing but ig I was just so overwhelmed. She is too good.

Luna Luna Luna... A main dancer, a main vocalist, can rap, a one of the best musical actresses, and is an awesome performer❤ Also, she has the record for K-pop Idol female high jump though she is considered a shorter female idol (taller than Wendy and Taeyeon). She was very strong and the 1st female idol to debut with a muscular body.

Amazing video! Would love to see a sm lead vocalists ranking as well!

Thanks for this. This led me to discover that Luna will be on Broadway for KPOP the musical.

Tbh Luna is such a great vocalist, no one can deny that. It's such a pity that SM never appreciated her enough. Taeyeon is the greatest vocalist for me, because of her emotions whenever she sings, she just knows how to deliver. SM is so lucky to have her and never again they could find another Taeyeon. Ningning has so much potential. I bet she would sound so so good when she sings her own ballad songs. Her voice is so pleasant to listen to, ngl. Wendy, what more can I say, she nails every low and high notes. Chef kiss Overall I have no doubt in SM vocalists. They slay~~

No matter who your bias is, we can all agree that Luna is just the queen.

I don't know who made the decision in SM of making their artist lip sync on every stage like how come they have Wendy, Taeyeon and Ningning and just make them lip sync for 2 weeks straight during promotions

Heey, Ningning has been singing live more lately with the smcu/ tokyo girls collection shows. It could be interesting seeing your thoughts on her abilities with these new clips :))

I’m curious to know how Jessica would compare 👀 I know she isn’t in SM anymore but she was main vocal alongside Taeyeon

Lina of The Grace is the best main vocalist of a SM gg

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR recognizing our luna

Thank you so much for including Luna! People always forgets she exists!

as a SONE I was a bit sad that king taeyeon wasn't number one but big congrats to Luna she is absolutely amazing and deserves the best

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE (TURN IT UP)

Thank you for this video 💗💗💗💗💗

I hope that can please do ladies code! They're an(was :( ) extremely talented vocal group! I wish more people would talk about them.

I love that you included Luna, shes amazing and underrated❤❤❤

Ah, Luna.. The whole fx thing was a piece of beauty.. I wish it lasted a longer

luna is an underrated vocalist definitely like when people discuss best sm vocalists they sometimes leave her out or while discussing none sm vocalists hyolyn and ailee are often included but almost never her like people can honestly have their own opinion and think others are better but for her to not even be part of the discussion leaves me baffled she’s just too good, anyways if anyone is in new york you should definitely see her in her broadway musical debut stan luna stan talent

PLS DO THIS FOR BOY GROUPS AND IN OTHER COMPANIES, I THINK IT WOULD BE A REALLY GREAT SERIES!!!!

I wish you would've included Bada here, but overall I really enjoy your analysis, I'm looking forward to the same one but for SM lead vocals, or probably JYP main voicals

Yeah your ranking is dead on. All these girls are fantastic tho. It is interesting how SM vocal training doesn't seem to emphasize agility, since none of these girls are that agile. Honestly NingNing might have the most potential there.

Finallyyyyy this video has comeeee

Hey guys!! Luna is gonna be on Broadway for the musical "KPOP" coming on October 13, if you'd like, please go and support her!!

You made me want to know Luna more, so sad I didn't know about her sooner

OMG! Thank you so so much for this, and thank you for including Luna. I always love watching your videos but feel kinda hopeless bcs I think you wouldn't mention anything f(x) related. It is such a surprised for me bcs September is the month that they debuted. I think between the big 3 kpop company, SM is the best to educate their artist about music. So, I'm sure we will see more of Ningning and ofc Wendy & Taeyeon. Taeyeon is probably my fave female vocalist in kpop, but I dont always liked her song. But with Luna, it feels like I have a special connection with her and f(x), like I almost always love her songs. F(x) is anything that I dont expect for a girlgroup at that time, even when they just debuted they have so much personality. Like even though they're performing as a team, their individuality shines, like there's no concept, its just them. Probably because of that SM makes f(x) as their experiment groups. And that just makes the groups even greater. F(x), even though they're popular, they dont really have a big loyal fanbase (well its ofc bcs of SM too). But the good thing about it tho, they seen more as an artist than an idol. After Electric Shock, they always comeback with a full album, its Pink Tape, Red Light and 4 Walls, people called them the Holy Trinity of kpop. Pink Tape is probably their most popular ones, it is so legendary that Billboard put the album as the best kpop album in the 2010s. And I remember thats the only idol's album that featured in top 100 best korean albums made by Melon. Pink Tape changed the way idols sell songs, where they used to only sell singles. And I think, the f(x) after Pink Tape era is probably the blueprint of 4th gen kpop groups. The experimentalism, the aesthetics and even the choreo reminded me so much of f(x). I always think f(x) is one of the unsung hero of kpop, like they break so many stereotypes, made so many trends, they even mentioned in so many western medias, yet they barely mentioned in todays kpop discussions. Thats why I'm so happy for this, Thank you once again, this really made my day. edit: I hope you listen to their albums, Luna has so many cool notes there, and ofc the music itself is incredible, its on par with todays kpop album if not better. i just made an essay, lol

when the sixth part of "Good vocal runs vs bad vocal runs"? I love those videos!

Sm did F(x) so dirty, even before Sulli’s passing. They could have been so big like shinee (they were made to be the female counter part of shinee) but they blew it. They continue to pump out groups like nothing happened, forgetting their senior groups are what made sm so popular and gave them that reputation. It’s just sad.

I dont know if others are better or not.. But i like Wendy's voice the best

Fun fact , Luna's family is full of classically trained singers, so it definitely shows. Even though she didn't major in classical music she excels in singing. I've always loved her, she's such a gem.

I hope when we'll have more material, you will talk about Lily and Haewon from NMIXX!
