Step into my cozy world as I react to the electrifying performances of the incredible Sohyang on Immortal Songs, all while lounging in my comfy robe with my hair wrapped up in a towel! From the comfort of my own home, I'm experiencing the magic of Sohyang's talent as she takes on iconic songs like Michael Bolton's "Lean On Me" and the timeless Korean folk tune, "Arirang".
As I sit back and unwind, Sohyang's powerful vocals and captivating stage presence draw me in, making me forget all about my robe-and-towel attire. With each stunning high note and soulful expression, I find myself completely immersed in the moment, unable to tear my eyes away from the screen.
Despite my relaxed appearance, Sohyang's performances leave me anything but chill! From goosebumps-inducing moments to jaw-dropping displays of vocal prowess, I can't help but be swept away by the sheer brilliance unfolding before me.
So, grab your own cozy attire, whether it's a robe, pajamas, or your favorite loungewear, and join me on this journey as we react to the mesmerizing talent of Sohyang on Immortal Songs. Trust me, you won't want to miss a single moment of this unforgettable experience!

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 _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages: Korean, English, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading French and Greek! Let me catch my breath. OK. She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia. She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsuPf5ygy865pGw.html She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere! She just turned 45 on April 5, 2023, though in Korean culture she would be 46 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone,” their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527 While being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on KZfaq. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on KZfaq and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for some of her songs, wrote "I Have Nothing," her most iconic song, and is the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas. Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9eVeMJi07aRe58.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on KZfaq: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipqFrKx-0MrdZIE.html She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203 She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNJdnbtq0KjXdac.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no interactive social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! And whether Sohyang likes it or not, fame has found her, run her over and then backed up and run over her again! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995 “Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said. “I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.” “And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via KZfaq, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.” Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings. • First is a type of Korean traditional music. • Second is to burn incense on a burner. • Third is to go toward. But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Her grandmother named her. Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZyZe8tl3qjcc6M.html Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gth-nrmD17Gbj30.html Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918 And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334 Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdyjmqad0cmygHk.html Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNqVYNRk0NvSoGw.html Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448 And finally “Will You Be There”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKiUhtOW3bvcmZ8.html Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJilktOe1L3cmmw.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews. OK, I’ll stop gushing now. Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNSAdM6j3tjdl4U.html I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean stage production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Mermaid" 'about one hundred times' when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has an outgoing and bubbly personality. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently! Though she is maybe 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way. I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉

Wow! This comment is extensive! I'm going to have to pin so that it would be easier to come back to. Don't get me wrong, others have contributed their knowledge, as well, and I am so grateful for everyone for doing so. I must note that I don't recall receiving so many, lengthy, info-packed comments on other of my reactions. You alone, wrote three dissertations! My mother is a recent cancer survivor, but she is also 72. How unfortunate that she was diagnosed at such a young age, but thankfully she beat it. If she has refused all those contract offers and only perform for charities and what not, I'm wondering how she make money. You did mention that she is a published author.

@@_KpopAjumma_ Sohyang obviously has to charge money for her concert appearances, whether they are for charities or not. No one can live on good will and not have money to pay the bills. She actually just made her first concert appearance in North America since 2018 this past October in California. She has said that her father in law goes with her to all the negotiations for concert appearances, as a lot of the time people would try to short change her but with "dad" present that sort of trickery went out the window, LOL! Congratulations for having the good luck, or blessing, of stumbling over the greatest female vocalist on the planet right now. Sohyang has at least 20 LIVE performances that 99.9999% of singers could not pull off in a studio! Most of us in the Comments section only found Sohyang by stumbling over her, as well. I, personally, only found her by following a recommendation in Fil Henley's comments section on his Wings of Pegasus YT channel. I count it as one of the happiest moments of my life, LOL! 😉💖💖💖

Sohyang is an incredible versatile singer who can take on any kind of genre! She has turned down offers from big record labels cause she feels it wouldn't be right. Further her purpose with the singing is to glorify/honor God and to bring some joy to those who are struggling and suffering in life. She's in a league of her own!!

Hi Ajumma. New Sub. Well Tom and Todd and all the other Sohyang fans have upstaged me in describing this beautiful little genius lady to you so I'll just gush unashamedly and hope it shows you another side to her. Sohyang possesses nothing that is not the essence of beauty. That gentle, sweet, ageless Lady who changes from a girlish Princess to a regal Queen before our very eyes, that sweeps her golden voice gracefully from the soaring heights of Soprano to the softness of Angelic Falsetto, that transforms from a stunningly glamorous Diva to a shy Girl-next-door in a moment of time, that captures the most cynical of hearts with her breathtaking smile and her innocent eyes, whose pure spirit reaches out and enthralls us until it is pleased to release us back to dull reality. Sohyang is a special gift to those of us who are so blessed as to have found her. Cheers.

Welcome to Sohyang's world. You will no doubt be flooded with Sohyang fans. :) This was the Michael Bolton special. He called Sohyang a virtuoso and invited her to go on tour with him. She refused that, but did sing a few times with him. Sohyang is a gospel singer so that often comes through. I forget the girls name who was shocked, she is a singer too. Arirang Alone is a modem take on an old folk song and is about the longing Koreans have for the North and South to be one. Sohyang is one of the worlds best female vocalists but not as well known as she should be due to being an independent artist. She choose to remain that way due to her health and faith. She is a cancer survivor who has battled pneumonia many times. Sohyang is well loved in South Korea but if you only watch KPop she is easy to miss due to mostly singing gospel and ballads but she has done pop, R&B, Jazz and some other genres. if you ever watch KDrama she has sung numerous sound tracks as well. Yes, she did do that in one breath. :D You wanted to know the violinist, that is Sue Son and you can find her on Brittans Got talent 2009 I think it was. Close to all of her performances are worth reacting to not just immortal Songs.

Sohyang has said in an interview that this 2014 performance before Michael Bolton was the most pleasing to her personally up to that point in her career because Michael Bolton is one of her absolutely favourite singers, and because he was so effusive in his praise for her she was satisfied that she and her team could produce similarly world class songs and performances. And hey, Michael Bolton told her she was a vocal "virtuoso" after the concert and invited her to join him for the rest of his South Korean tour. How do you beat that? Well, Michael Bolton can offer to take you on an entirely new world tour making you the featured guest--and that is _exactly_ what he did! Unfortunately, or not, the two could not make their schedules match no matter how hard they tried and the tour never materialized. This was actually fairly depressing for Sohyang because she really wanted to go BIG TIME in the music business at that exact moment but everything seemed to conspire against her. Pneumonia problems would crop up and this has been a chronic problem for Sohyang. She would later recognize this as God's way of preventing her from getting caught up in the North American and European music industry that would have been destructive to her character at that time. Sohyang is humble enough and courageous enough to confess she had become so ambitious that she was an ugly person, short tempered with other people and not treating them with proper respect. I know, my jaw hit the floor when I read the interview too! Sohyang a _mean person?_ Say it ain't so! But we all have times where we are embarrassed at how we behaved and Sohyang is just a human being, like the rest of us. Two years later in 2016 Sohyang was almost ready to quit the entire music business because her health problems were so bad. Yet she had given her truly immortal performances of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Arirang Alone," "Everyone" and "I Have Nothing" only the previous year in 2015, and "The Prayer" and "Power Of Love" in 2014--songs _any_ diva who has ever walked the earth would _kill_ to have in their repertoire! So she plundered her bank account and took a trip to New York, Boston and Philadelphia. In the latter city Sohyang saw a quote from President Franklin Roosevelt where he had said in his inaugural address during the Great Depression of the 1930s that "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." This proved so inspirational for her that when she got back to South Korea she entered the "King of the Masked Singers" contest in 2017 and won it on six consecutive occasions! Still the pneumonia dogged her so badly she knew it was God's way of telling her she had to reassess why she had become a singer in the first place. And that was to sing to lift people's spirits who were going through hard times. In 2018 David Foster himself did eight concerts with her at Tokyo's Blue Note Club and it is thought he offered to be the producer for new recordings of her. But she had been really reconsidering her purpose in life and decided the Hollywood lifestyle was the last thing she truly wanted, and in 2020 she turned down a contract offer from Sony Music US, _the 2nd largest music corporation in the world!_ And there were many others before that going back a decade or so! Since then Sohyang has been resolute in her decision to stay away from the music "industry" and manage her own career for the purposes she had started it all with. I for one can't express how happy I am she has chosen the path she did because she is one of the most inspirational people I have ever come across in my entire life, and I know countless others feel exactly the same way. 👌😉💖💖💖 And here is what Michael Bolton told Sohyang after this performance. To say she bowled him over is an understatement! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM2IlrJpncnYhqc.html

@@_KpopAjumma_ Yes, like everyone else who really knows music and singing, Michael Bolton was simply astonished by what he saw and heard back in 2014. When you are a music super star like Michael Bolton and you tell someone they are a "virtuoso" you are paying them the highest compliment in existence. I love how Sohyang was like a teenager meeting their favourite movie star when she met Michael Bolton. The joy was written all over her face, and Mr. Bolton was a bit humbled to have Sohyang compliment him, as well. You can tell two professionals have the highest regard for each other and their abilities when that happens. Virtually everyone who sees these Sohyang performances on YT are shocked and expend a good many tears when they first witness them. She is just something else altogether and most of us know we have never seen her like before. 💖💖💖

김소향 (Kim, So-hyang) is a South Korean singer who uses 소향 (Sohyang) as her stage name. She's up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Céline Dion, according to David Foster, who worked with all of them, plus other big names in the music industry, such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. In fact, many vocal coaches and critics call her the Queen, and Dimash the King. Here are several links to excellent performances by Sohyang. Many are from competitions where she pulls out all the stops and goes into vocal beast mode. The last 5 are more restrained. You can alternate between the styles, just to experience the contrasts and see her range of abilities. All are live, except for a music video of "Never Enough" (since we can never get enough of Sohyang). I Am a Singer Legend: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipqFrKx-0MrdZIE.html "I Have Nothing" [Whitney Houston] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eaykhbiEtd7Hkac.html (camera only on Sohyang) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ1hmKyIt9OppI0.html "꿈 (Dream)" [소향 (Sohyang)] {Korean} Immortal Songs 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZyZe8tl3qjcc6M.html "Bridge Over Troubled Water" [Simon & Garfunkel] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKypocd8nryzc58.html "홀로 아리랑 (Arirang Alone)" [traditional Korean folksong, lyrics adapted for reunification of North & South Koreas] {Korean} kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdyjmqad0cmygHk.html "Lean On Me" [Bill Withers, Jr.; Michael Bolton guest] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsuPf5ygy865pGw.html "You Raise Me Up" [Secret Garden; Shane Filan (Westlife) guest] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpuVarCB18ubmY0.html "여러분 (Everyone)" [윤복희 (Yoon, Bok-hee)] {Korean, English} I Am a Singer 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j92XeZZ43tLZXWQ.html "O Holy Night" [Adolphe Charles Adam] King of Masked Singers: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8WcgqSY2c-biIU.html "모나리자 (Mona Lisa)" [조용필 (Cho, Yong-pil)] {Korean, English} kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtdyhrOBzpmpg4E.html "Home (집)" [박효신 (Park, Hyo-shin)] {Korean, English} Begin Again Korea: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ormqlZmSlbbPgYk.html "Flashlight" with 이수현 (Lee, Su-hyun) [Jessie J] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc-mqdN8mLuxnKs.html "Misty" [Ella Fitzgerald] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erVoZ5h21ruXlXk.html "I Will Always Love You" [Dolly Parton] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZuHpKp6tdDVpJc.html "Never Enough" [Loren Allred] Open Concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMCpfMegt7ivdqM.html "The Power of Love" [Jennifer Rush] BTW, Whitney's former manager saw the DMC Festival video of Sohyang singing "I Have Nothing", and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. Foster invited Sohyang to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. He and his ex-wife wrote that song. He co-arranged and produced it for Whitney for her album, and her performance in "The Bodyguard". Foster has won 16 Grammy Awards, including 3 for Producer of the Year, and has been nominated a total of 47 times. --- Her full name is "김소향 (Kim, So-hyang)", but she leaves out her surname in her stage name, "소향 (Sohyang)". Here's the breakdown of the Hangul symbols in her full name: 김소향 (Kim, So-hyang) 김 = ㄱ ㅣ ㅁ (k i m) 소 = ㅅ ㅗ (s o) 향 = ㅎ ㅑ ㅇ (h ya ng) Google Translate in Detect Language mode pronounces them decently. However, the proper pronunciation of her stage name can be heard before the start of her Immortal Songs 2 performance of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", when the host introduces her as "SOH hee-yahng". The "hee" part is very quick and subtle, almost like a puff of air after the "h" sound carried over from the stressed "SOH" syllable. Note that the "ahng" sound uses the first and last phonemes (syllable components) of "awe" and "song", respectively; it isn't "uhng" or "ohng" as too many non-Korean folks claim.

Lean On Me: Theme for this episode is performing a Michael Bolton hit (original song or cover). - The song was a big hit, composed & performed by William Harrison "Bill" Withers, Jr. in 1972. - Bolton covered it in 1993. - Hyorin (singer) is the shocked artist in the competition. - This episode won a Banff award. - Michael Bolton invited Sohyang to appear on stage with him for his concerts; see set-up in the next performance. Arirang Alone: Theme for this episode is folk performance re-imagined in a modern way. - Sue Son plays the electric violin. She trained with her sister in the UK; she appeared on Britain's Got Talent. - Son Woo (singer) is one of the shocked artists in the competition. - I forgot the name of the woman in the hanbok (chanter); her husband (interpretive dancer) is stunned, too. - Yes, Sohyang has amazing breath-control, even while navigating those incredible belts, riffs & runs, and dynamics. - The "legend" you pointed out is a named Living Treasure of Korea; he's also a competitor here. - Sohyang didn't win. I believe the arrangement departed too much from what Koreans had expected from a traditional folksong that's like their 2nd national anthem. The winner actually sung her song in a very traditional way, and simply added some choreography with dancers and other silent performers on the stage with her. Not surprisingly, of the 7 competitors in this episode, only Sohyang and her performance stands out, as she's consistently asked to repeat it in major cultural events and promotionals of South Korea.

Arirang has no direct translation to English but the idea it represents is along the lines of very hard work or diligent struggle. The song is based on a Korean folk song that has evolved over a period of 600 years and now is an allegory for their desire to reunite north and south. Sohyang is difficult to rationally explain. She might have died from cervical cancer when she was 20 but credits God with her healing. Yet a bad blood transfusion at the time of the surgery left her with hepatitis B. Normally that is easily cured with antibiotics but this was the rare incurable variety so it plagues her to this day with a compromised immune system and she contracts pneumonia rather often. For a four year period from 2016 to 2020 she was battling it eight different times and was almost out of circulation in the musical community. Thus Sohyang knows what it is to be chronically ill for a lengthy period of time but again credits God with teaching her invaluable spiritual lessons from it. She has largely been fine since then but did come down with covid19 for two weeks in the summer of 2022. Thankfully she recovered well and at the age of 45 sings as excellently today as she ever has. You are right when the thought comes to mind that there is no way this woman is 45! She looks 10 or 15 years younger, at least! But it is true. She was born on April 5, 1978! 🤷‍♂ Professional "super star" level music producers (David Foster), singers (Michael Bolton and Josh Groban), teachers (Seth Riggs) and vocal coaches by the boat load are pretty well stupefied at how much talent is wrapped up in this tiny five foot four inch, 100 pound woman. Sohyang has trained her central nervous system to the point, and developed such articulate muscular control, that her singing technique is perfect. She is considered a master singer. Literally. Again Sohyang gives the credit to the divine entity, stating her voice "is from God." Obviously she has taken her singing talent to the nth degree, and tells others who want to enter the world of professional singing that they must be born with a good voice and then work very hard to develop it. But this barely scratches the surface of who Sohyang is and how talented she is on stage. Her stage presence and body language are unmatched in my experience, much like what Elvis Presley had fifty years ago but different, of course, since she is a sincere Christian woman and believes in presenting herself in modest yet excellent quality theatrical attire and with absolute confidence and purpose at all times. I have also found these high production value South Korean music presentations to be as good as you will find anywhere on the planet. They show Sohyang in the best fashion possible and these seem, to me, as good as you would find at _any_ of the Grammy Awards in their heyday. When you add a Super Star talent like Sohyang to the show, everyone who watches it is quite rightly blown away. 👀😮💥👌😎🎸🎙👽🛸💖💖💖

I have read some hateful remarks towards Sohyang's singing. Since, I don't have a musical background and I don't know the difference between timber, pitch, resonance, and whatever else music, I couldn't understand their gripe. I just know how I felt when I first listened to her sing and I was repeatedly amazed during the editing of my video. This is not coming from a place of conceit, but I've watched my reaction and I still feel the same listening to her performance! I just want to cry right now; not because I'm sad or happy, but likely because I was moved by her singing. Whether she was singing in English or Korean, it didn't matter. The words didn't stick to me as much as the heavenly sounds and invoked emotions. Thank you for watching!

@@_KpopAjumma_ Thanks for reacting to Sohyang! Some people just hate her, sometimes because they are racists or bigots or can't stand the voice of lyric sopranos like Sohyang. But the greatest music producers, singers and vocal coaches are all knocked on their keesters by her singing. Some critics just have big mouths, small brains, and very limited knowledge of what something like belting is. They will dismiss it as screaming but it is not possible to put vibrato on a scream. The best in the business will tell you she resides on the highest tier of the planet's divas right now. We think she sits there alone.👀🤔🙃💖

아리랑 노래는 한국의 민요 곡이고 남북통일을 기원함의 뜻도 있습니다. 한국 전쟁 당시 한 아버지가 북에 자식들 하고 이산가족이 되어서 노래를 작곡했다는 소리도 들었던 것 같습니다. 아무튼 한국 사람들은 저 곡을 들으면 뭉클해 질 수 밖에 없습니다. 가사의 뜻 몇가지들도 영어로 딱 집어서 설명할 수 없는 뜻도 많고요.
