World best amazing singer..angel

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

To me she is simply one the greatest vocalists on the planet.

She is other worldly. I think she is the best female singer ever. I play EVERYONE every Sunday. iove love her keep playing. her. No misses with her,

She is the best female vocalist in this world. Michael Bolton had a concert in Korea 2023, and she sang "Oh Holy Night" there, which was so powerful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqmCh5Si17TIeXk.html Another is "Upon this Rock," which she sang at the concert. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5-Xhsxk3tGal2Q.html [Sohyang List] - You raise me up (Immortal songs 2) - Bridge over troubled water (Immortal songs 2) - I have nothing (I am a singer legend) - Lean on me (Immortal songs 2) - I'll always love you (begin again Korea) - Oh holy night (I am a singer 2) - Everyone (Immortal songs 2) - Arirang alone (Immortal songs 2) - Power of love (2014 live) - Never enough (begin again Korea) - Misty (begin again Korea) - I'll be there (begin again Korea) - I won't give up (Open Concert) - Amazing Grace (Global Church Blessing 2020) - Mona lisa (King Of Masked Singer) - Fate (I am a singer 2) - Wild flower (Immortal songs 2) - Where are you (I am a singer 2) - Dear love (King Of Masked Singer) - Never Ending story (I am a singer 2) - If I ain't got you (begin again Korea) - The prayer (Jeong Ui Geun & So hyang) - My favorite things (begin again Korea) - As I live (I am a singer 2) - Breathe (King Of Masked Singer)

This perf made Michael Bolton compliment her as a virtuoso of her voice. Since then, she will always be invited to his concert in South Korea as a guest singer. To these days she still performs this song, and she even goes higher than before. Sometimes I wonder where she is hiding another set of lungs in her. Thank you very much Harri for your great reaction. Fyi there's a channel called Jangtin on vimeo which contains her perfs in the early days up to 2018 with English translation. It's better than some on KZfaq because the videos were properly trimmed so you don't get interrupted by commentary and unwanted voiceover. Can't wait to see more of your Sohyang's reaction and God bless xoxo

Fantastic! She is the best of the best!

They are both good in their own ways... they are both down to earth people... I feel as well.

Welcome back to The slaying Queen So 🎉😅 Thanks from Perú 😊

a great idea to react to everything she has done. look forward to it.

Talking about this phrase Lean On Me again.......... When my father was still alive, my servant would sit outside the toilet as he entered the toilet. I got worried and asked her how she was going to handle the situation when he falls. She said her left hip is sticking out and would actually catch him when he fall. That is to say that he can count on or lean on the hip.

You probably already have some suggestions for Sohyang performances but I will sugest: "Arirang Alone" on Immortal Songs 2 "I have Nothing" at the DMC festival "I will always love you" on Begin Again Korea. (BAK) "Oh Holy Night" on I am a Singer (purple dress) "Misty" on BAK. "You raise me up" immortal songs 2 ( she is sick here) As you probably know Sohyang is a cancer survivor who has battled pneumonia many times due to the hepatitis she contracted while in surgery to remove tumors. Pneumonia is what she usually has anytime she is sick.

world class

🥂💛

Michael Bolton saw this performance and called it "virtuoso performance" and invited her to his concert in Korea for a duet. and they sung "prayer" & "lean on me" PS. This stage was won the 'Best TV show award' at the Banff International Media Festival.

Epic performance by Sohyang - and this is hardly the only standout among her illustrious collection of mesmerizing stages.

Her voice is a natural mixer!!! 😎🎤

Simply stunning! Harri, thank you for playing and reviewing this So Hyang performance. Until now, I had never heard her world-class vocal range. Your background and review were exceptional. Bravo!!!

There are singers and there are singer and then there's Sohyang she's in a league of her own!

Welcome to sohyangs world ❤

한국의자랑 소향님!!!!

Brilliant!!❤❤

A song for you to consider reacting to : Oran "Juice" Jones ---- The Rain

Ok, Harri, she’s good, no doubt . But you’ll never drag me away from Bill Withers, on this or any other Bill Withers song. I just loved tha man too much.

Correction : So Hyang is 46 this year

Lean On Me. Basically that is what humamn love is all about. You lean on your partner and your partner leans on you. But times ste chaning as we enter the nee agr. The night time is where Jesus prays to his father. Emotions rim high as the Moon governs the night. But the night is also the time when we experience love Engelbert's Wonderland By Night where might turns into fay and the night no matter how becomes a fading memory. We need love to transition to the new age of the Sun but once that is done, only enlightened love temaind. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rc1hpZao2J65o3k.htmlsi=5K0pTcaQt3tm5DFO

TBH, I found this too over the top.

no thanks---she's been listenin' to too many Mariah Carey records
