Everyone keep in mind, she was recovering from pneumonia for this performance. Which makes it that much more impressive. All Hail, Queen Sohyang 👑❤️

In fact, she sang while suffering from pneumonia. Incredible.

She had me in the first thirty seconds, ☝️😯 what a beautiful voice!! To be honest, I didn't think I'd like it. Thanks for sharing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

From what I understand from her fans, she just out of hospital same day to perform. She does not want to disappoint her fans that is why she continued to perform that day.

Sohyang is phenomenal. It's a blessing to be able to hear her songs. For me she is an exception. Because she is incomparable to anyone else.

On one of her later interviews she mentioned that she did this performance with the impression it was going to be her last. She ignored doctor's orders while reviving from pnemonia and left the hospital to do this performance because "people were waiting". She never revived her voice to the previous condition and had to stop for 2 years until the writer of this song contacted her to congratulate her on her arrangement. She found the courage to return to singing and said "I was feeling like an expensive racing car on my previous condition, but now I feel like a bus, I can run slower but I can accomodate many more people with my singing".

Mixed belts that left me with mixed emotions that turned into tears and tears and more tears ! This woman is such a beautiful singer and I loved this performance ! Thank you Anna for your most heartfelt and emotional reaction and analysis ! You were wonderful as always ! Keep posting these talented artists ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

You absolutely correct in your theory that she was not 100% during this performance. She was dealing with pneumonia at this time. And you are THE ONLY vocal coach to actually pick up on that. (amazing, considering you had only done one prior reaction to her). I am not a vocal coach or even a singer, I am a musician however, and I appreciate her skill, taste and musicianship (These arrangements of hers are epic). Thanks to your analysis of her vocals, I have a much better understanding and an even greater respect for what Sohyang does. Thank you for your thoughts and analogies. Fantastic reaction video, as always.

This arrangement is a masterpiece (hers with her team), the vocals are stunning, especially if you take into account the fact that she was actually recovering from pneumonia during this performance and was advised by the doctors not to sing. Good to see you back reacting to Sohyang, its been too long. You absolutely must check Arirang Alone next, and please don't take too long. Thank you for a great reaction.

Can you believe it? She has suffering with pneumonia when this performance. . But it's true. .!!(She suffered from pneumonia about eight times between 2016 and 2018).. . and she slayed it legendary. . .she is amazing. . !!!

Thank you for your great reaction to the amazing and incomparable Sohyang. And, yes, she was told not to sing that night because she was recovering from pneumonia but did not want to disappoint anyone. So she might not have been at her very best, yet she was not too shabby, was she?

Once I saw a fan video on the web on the topic "How So Hyang sings when she is sick." And all the comments were just that most of today's performers can't sing in their best condition the way she sings when she's sick. And her level of performance in an ideal state of health is practically unattainable.

I love So Hyang ❤️ Kisses from Italy 😘

So Hyang was recovering from pneumonia and still sang her heart out! Great reaction.

"Everyone" is a masterpiece I really hope you get a chance to react to that amazing performance!

To me, SoHyang is the best femele singer in this planet!! There are hundres of great singers all over the place but only she can touches my soul!

Sohyang is a gospel singer, but she has mastered all genres of songs. Especially, these gospel songs are the best. thanks for the reaction💞💞👍👍

Sohyang was recovering from pneumonia here. She was not well at all and she disappeared for some months after this to try and get healthy.

Kudos to you for an endearing and insightful reaction! Appreciate how you took joy in the dynamic and inspiring arrangement of this song by Sohyang. Also in my recollection after viewing countless reaction videos, you are the only person to notice Sohyang's less than fully healthy condition in this performance. As some already commented, you must not miss Sohyang's magical performance of Arirang Alone when you get a chance.

Thank you for reacting to another Sohyang performance. She takes my breath away.

This is just one of the things they do. The performances of 'Everyone' and 'I have nothing' are incredible. She is Diva. Please add them to your list as well. You are the most valuable analyst I have enjoyed watching.

Thank you beautiful Anna for another lovely reaction, you bring my days sunshine. Have a great week my dear!!

She's having pneumonia and doctor advice not to sing but she still performed. After this show, she went for recovery for one and half years. Even the writer, of this song(Brendan Graham) tried to contact her, but failed.

Sound Of Heaven Yielding ANGel. Thank you for your professional analysis and excellent reaction.

The reason why her voice is a bit smaller than usual is because... On the morning of the performance, she went to the hospital, and the doctor said she had pneumonia. The doctor advised her to cancel the show, but she kept her promise with her fans.

그녀는 그 당시 목에 병이 있었음에도 무대에 올랐습니다 😭

소향이 저 노래를 부를 당시에 극심한 폐렴을 앓았다고 합니다. 그리고 저 노래를 끝으로 몇년 간 활동을 안하고 쉬었다고 합니다.

젛확히 짚어 내셨습니다. 소향이 이 공연하는 시점에서 급성폐렴에 걸려 이 공연을 해야 하는지 고민까지 했었다고 합니다.

Queen So Hyang! 💝

Interesting to see how you react, like the waves of sound from the speakers are flowing/resonating making you move to them. Must be a nice ability to have! 🙏

The condition of this performance was the worst, but it turned out to be the best performance❣️❣️

Excellent analysis in that you perceived a non optimal health in this performance! As many will reveal she was just released from hospital pneumonia treatment and medically counseled not to sing . She felt deeply obligated to her fans and the guest artist from Westlife in attendance is my understanding. Arirang Alone is another masterpiece as well as the stripped down busking performances with other artists on Begin Again Korea. Hug Me where she is in pink is another performance where she was still weak recovering from pneumonia again so she is seated.

Kiitos paljon for this very educational reaction! Sohyang changed one of the stanzas into a sort of bridge - the stanza that begins with the phrase "There's no life without its hunger". I think it adds interesting variation to the song while allowing her voice to shine more.

She wasn’t 100% well in this performance, she was advised not to sing by the doctor because she hadn’t yet recovered from her latest bout of pneumonia, but she didn’t want to disappoint the people who had come to see her. I am a Sohyang fan of many years & IMO this isn’t on my top 10 performances of hers, although still amazing by your average good singers standards, ‘Arirang Alone’ though is right up there near the top, so you must watch it, it’s EPIC!! Great reaction, thanks

I love watching vocal coaches and voice teachers reacting to great singers because it helps know why I love to listen to them so much. I know I like it but the comments from people in that particular field help me understand WHY I love it. Thank you. Your reaction was superb. I seen several for this performance and you are the only one to detect and mention that something seemed off. Since she was sick with pneumonia and left her sickbed to come and perform, something certainly was off. You display your knowledge and skill by detecting it. Bravo to you. Wonderful channel - I just subscribed because I think there is more for me to learn from you. Cheers!

Awesome Reaction of our Queen SoHyang! You were spot on when you noticed that she was not in her full condition which interfered with her performance! (Not many could have noticed because she is so still soooo great) She was actually sick with pneumonia and almost didn't perform. Please do more of our angel sent from above! Stay Safe! 😀😀

Loved the insight to her performance. I'm sure you know by now that she wasn't near 100%. I hope you react to more of her music!

Thanks for your kindness... You have a beautiful soul, Bye from Canada

Thank you for reacting to Sohyang! ❤Love ❤your informational explanations weaved with your heartfelt appreciation for what Sohyang is accomplishing with her voice. You were spot-on about her voice here too -- she had pneumonia and her doc advised her NOT to sing. Please check out / react to her versions of I Have Nothing, Misty (Begin Again outdoors version), I Will Always Love You (Begin Again outdoors version), Everyone and her pop-ROCKing song: Mona Lisa (King of Masked Singer version)

방갑습니다. 아가씨! 잘봣서요 소향님은 천사임👼👑💖

She was recovering from pneumonia prior to this performance.

As others have commented, she was ill during this performance. You can see it in her face and hear it in few choices she makes. You should react to what I consider her masterworks: Arirang Alone and Everyone. Arirang is a folk anthem that Sohyang from which Sohyang creates an allegory of the experience of the Korean people. Everyone is a declaration of her faith. Both are moving and brilliantly performed. She also has a number of more recent videos from the TV show Begin Again Korea. They are simple arrangements performed in parks and on sidewalks during COVID. The setting makes them special, especially as you watch the young performers in the show's cast become fans of Sohyang. I Will Always Love You, Misty, Please, and Love Poem are favorites.

She is missing the healthy parts you mentioned as she was terribly stricken with pneumonia back then, and of course, in that performance, that day! She slayed nonetheless. You should see her recent performances as she SLAYS for sure with POWER!!! She even sang "Upon This Rock" after 7 years omg! 😁💖

You are the first to hear something missing. She had full on pneumonia during this performance. She was told by a DR that day, not to speak at all, but even with weak lungs and a bad throat, she was still able to do what she did. Yea she had to pull back because she was very ill here. Nobody else would have dared to perform in her condition, but she does not like to let her fans down and Shane Filan, from the UK was there to hear her sing a song g he performs all the time.

It's funny to watch this and know this one actually lacks magic when it comes to hers lol. If you want an arrangement shocker try Lean on Me. The good thing about it would be you'd get to see her really mix high too...Bb5s. But for me man it's all the others she does with just wild head voice phrases. But yeah higher mixes need seen too and that's Lean on Me and Mona Lisa especially. There's just a lot and you have a big gap of surprises to see. Thanks for the Sohyang reaction! Please consider if going by votes how many are probably fairly casual and just know because of more known songs. Might be hard to ever get voted into some of the epic things. I mean if this edged out Arirang Alone that to me is telling enough. Fwiw. Not even sure I'd do it next now as it won't be as revealing to other potentials of her now. Seems some do certain ones and stop, figuring they will all have that kind of pattern. There's just an actual ton of amazing variety from her.

소향 리액션 너무 좋아요 다른것도 많이 해주세요😍

Thank you. More Sohyang please.

Anna, you very rightly pointed out that So Hyang's voice was not in the best condition on the day of the performance. Shortly before that, she had been ill with pneumonia and had not fully recovered. The doctor forbade her even to speak, but she still went on stage to sing. By the way, I try to follow her work, and over the past 4 years I have not come across a single video with this particular version of the song. The usual version of So Hyang sings quite often, but this particular arrangement was made specifically for this performance, it is very laborious for the singer and expensive (you need an orchestra and a choir), and in my opinion it was not repeated anymore.

Ooh God that intro...The choir and arrangement are DIVINE😌 She truly is a master at controlling her voice while making it look effortless, flawless and captivating woooow Such a amazing voice and incredible range! I read here in the comments that she was sick with pneumonia!!! One word: HOW!!???🙊 How does she sound like that🤯🤯🤯 heavenly and beautifly daaamn. Thanks Anna for this reaction!!!!😉 Btw Anna, can i ask something: can you please put it on your list and maybe one day react (it's veeery challenging, but your analyses are sooo Fuckin' good and instructive (+ your expressions amuse me😄 and probably it would surprise a lot of people doing this😂)) to Beatbox!! 4 Beatboxers i like a lot, all are Fuckin' A-MA-ZING in their own way (we have a lot of precision, polyphonic sounds, clean sounds, dynamic, pitch Perfect etc...) I'll leave the link of each and you pick one😅( 2min each). They have a whole studio in their mouth...IT'S CRAAAAZY!!!! Have a awesome weekend🎶😎Byeee kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m81pktyeqKuldmw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8-ciauitt7JaIU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h56modSo2bXKaHk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zthyepxzps_Nc2g.html

Excellent breakdown of Sohyang's performance. Her clarity pierces my soul. I've said it before, but I really like the way you explain things. I'm not a singer, but it's always fun to learn new things. I have kind of a challenge for you. In Japan, there's a popular group called Wagakki Band. They're a band that combines rock music with Japanese traditional instruments and singing. They have one song that, for me, is their outlier in that it doesn't sound like their usual rock and ballad-ish stuff. It's a jazzy song called "Synchronicity" and features a back and forth between the guitarist, Machiya, and the vocalist/keyboardist, Yuko. Yuko is one of my favorite singers period, and I'd love to see a reaction to it in your style. I'm providing a link because this is my favorite version of the song so far, and there are a lot of other live versions out there. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9BmhZt5r5rcqGg.html One last thing: this channel, CC W, always provides English subtitles and high definition. Moreover, Wagakki Band's live stuff from his channel doesn't get blocked.

She was in the hospital with pneumonia on the day she sang the song. She was given antibiotics and painkillers at the hospital before singing. It's more amazing that she's not 100% in condition.

Excellent reaction as always. Now that "You Raise Me Up" is on table, I suggest you check out something from Tommy Johansson (Sabatons guitarist, Majesticas vocalist). He has done cover of this song (1 octave challenge) and many more outstanding ones including Alone and disneyfied Sabaton songs.

welcome to sohyang's world!!

long live the queen..

Sometimes I wish Sohyang had less great stuff, because this one is "just ok" in the land of Sohyang. Then reactors often don't even make it to a lot of the best. She has so many you should treat yourself (not even react) to say "Home" from masked singer, to get a view into some of the variety. Maybe even also Day Day from masked singer lol. She rap sings that one. It's epic, but again so many others you'd never get to these anyway for reacting. I'd definitely just enjoy those. Breathe and Mona Lisa still from masked singer are better yet and worth saving for reactions. Fate from I am singer is too. I have nothing and Lean on Me are absolute monster performances. Misty from begin again korea is so beautiful it's messed up. And Arirang Alone from immortals songs 2 is probably the best first reaction. Everyone will say do "Everyone" performance but I don't know for me it's just too much belty. And she's about all I watch reactions to now. Power of love and amazing grace get recommended some but I don't get that when that aren't showcasing her ability at all really. Don't wait on at least Home and Day Day, just go watch em lol.

How did I miss this reaction? 😮 Sorry I'm late to the party. Your point about her being not in to form was right on point. I'm sure her mind was a lot more on her technique abs trying to stay open as much as possible hence the reliance on the wide open jaw a lot, avoiding closed sounds abs the usual grit she puts on her vocals for emphasis. The arrangement *waa* sick! I take Sohyang and KZ Tandigan as the song cover remake champions.

Loving the analysis ❤️

I recommend "Breath" by TVPro, King of Mask Singer. You can hear Sohyang's true heavenly voice.

❤❤❤❤❤소향님❤you❤ 사랑스러워요😂

🙏🙏

😍😍😍

So well spotted that she was sick, Anna! ❤ It was so courageous to sing this while pneumonia was an issue. Again, very well picked up!!

😍😍😍😍😍

I am waiting!🌹

I spontaneously laughed at almost the same time with your reaction comments. Just delightful and makes my day

Sohyang is a talented singer with an angelic voice who is loved not only in Korea but also in many other countries. Of course, there are many popular singers in Korea, but there are also singers called Forrestella, a popera four-member vocal group that is well known in reaction videos these days. They are the owners of very beautiful chords. Take a listen. "FORESTELLA - Bohemian Rhapsody".🙂

She is really like an angel from heaven-!!!

Just wanted to suggest Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt.” It’s a Tear jerker and I doubt you’d be able to find something so unique and emotional since it is from a 70 year old. Anyways, I didn’t know there was so much complexity to singing until I found your channel. I’ve learned a lot and have a deeper appreciation now.

I'm just here for Anna.... 😁 This song was beautiful but really not my style. That being said, Sohyang actually does have an amazing voice. As always, BIG HUGS from Tennessee, USA! 😍👍

❤❤❤

Your reaction is impressive.. thank you !!!

도대체 이노래를 몇번 듣는건지....^^ 너무 잘 듣고 갑니다 ^^

Dear Anna: As Marisa Gettas said, Sohyang was not yet fully recovered from pneumonia and yet she was able to gift her audience a marvelous performance. My request is that you analyze/react to one of the finest duet performances I have ever heard. The song is "For Thousand Days" performed by Sohyang and a Korean singer called The One. This has long been one of my favorites and yet it seems to have totally ignored by the vocal coach community. I promise you will not be disappointed. "For Thousand Days" link - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMtkgs6anLvHdZs.html

Sohyang 💗💓💗💓💕💞

i like queen soul

wow

차분한 리액션 감사합니다 ~~♡

💖💖💖

리액션 잘 보고 갑니다

Nice reaction. Great voice that of Sohyang, great interpreter. Very sure your indications. PS: Your beauty is disarming, and I am not referring only to the external one. Attentive and sensitive person.

천사 she is angel

please can you react to some little mix! like their live version of "secret love song" or their live version of "woman like me" from 2022! they're so talented and need more spotlight from vocal coaches bc they all have impeccable live vocals, which is quite rare for pop music these days (and girlgroups). truly one of the most vocally gifted girlgroup of all time (and the 3rd best selling one too)

Actually, she was gravely ill due to recurring pneumonia she was suffering from at the time. She thought this very well could be her last public performance, so she decided to give it a go despite her doctor's advice not to. You may have noticed her vocal tone was different than usual and she was grimacing toward the end. Anyway, some divine force was with her that night to lift her up and carry her on.

**WHEN Kim, So Hyang Sung "Raise Me Up"*** Kim, So Hyang has always struggled with her health during her lifetime with those many illnesses.. uterine cancer, hepatitis, chronic pneumonia, etc.. The night she sung You Raise Me Up She just got out of Hospital the night before and was advised Not to sing...So she did this....lol but did spend next 10 days in Hospital ...Even She Admitted...was the end of Her Singing again !!! It's really a miracle this one of the most skilled vocalist of all time could be in such poor condition. And definitely she is much more than great technician and has Perfect Control of Her Gift...and Her singing is so special.

I am astonished… Because he only listen to her once before and I’m pretty sure that was a long time ago, yet you know her vocal qualities so well that you were able to recognize that she was sick. Either you have the best memory ever, or you referred to the last reaction you did before doing this reaction. You must’ve rewatched that.

i love Finnish language :) sounds so nice from you :)

You're such a great singer

Why does she bring me tears all the time ? Anybody know why ?

lets gooooo

excellent break down as always, she has an amazing voice, love taking a break from my usual music to just sit back and enjoy her a work. She has a pretty amazing story as well, thx I wonder if you have ever listened to HaleStorm, they have a pretty amazing female singer(LzzyHale) I believe you would find her pretty entertaining as well, song id I Am The Fire kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bs6boNiF29HUj6c.html

감사합니다~^^

Yeah the first reactor who noticed that her voice wasn’t as strong as it usually is here. At least it’s not in the first half in the performance.
