I absolutely adore the version of this song sung by Whitney Houston (though I haven't heard Dolly Parton's original yet!) so to have this in the hands of South Korea's Mariah Carey, I am in for an absolute treat. This version absolutely blew my socks off!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Sohyang performing "I Will Always Love You" for the first time.

Another song very much associated with Whitney Houston is "I Have Nothing". Sohyang's version at DMC Festival 2015 shows she can be a vocal beast. There are 2 videos of this stunning live performance, which you should review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipqFrKx-0MrdZIE.html Broadcast version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eaykhbiEtd7Hkac.html Camera only on Sohyang BTW, Whitney's former manager saw this and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. Foster eventually connected with Sohyang, and they performed 8 shows in 4 days at Blue Note Tokyo (Dec 2018). Foster cowrote the song, and arranged and produced it for Whitney, who sang it for her role in the movie "The Bodyguard". Since you have found Begin Again Korea (BAK) and you have mentioned Ella Fitzgerald, consider listening to a short jazz cover by Sohyang. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc-mqdN8mLuxnKs.html "Misty" (Begin Again Korea) At 02:22, you may notice a fellow singer crying. Lee Suhyun duets with Sohyang in "My Favorite Things" and "Flashlight". They produced some nice harmonies. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMd_q5t-2Ji1pYU.html "My Favorite Things" (Begin Again Korea) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ormqlZmSlbbPgYk.html "Flashlight" (Begin Again Korea) An interesting BAK performance by Sohyang features a studio-produced video of her singing, which isn't live. Watch for the surprise. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZuHpKp6tdDVpJc.html "Never Enough" (Begin Again Korea)

For context, this show normally follows well known singers to different countries in street busking situations. This season was filmed during the pandemic entirely in Korea and this particular performance was at Korea's largest steel mill and was the first after So Hyang joined the cast. The cast is typically a bunch of "juniors" who are relatively young/current stars with at least one "senior" who is a veteran that older folks can easily relate to. This is the first time So Hyang performed after joining the cast mid-season and you can see how in awe the Juniors are as she does things with her voice that they never even thought possible, and for the rest of the season they made similar expressions of wonder. She really is a treasure and I hope she recovers from her current bout of Covid soon as the world is a much better place when she's sharing her gift with the rest of us.

Thanks so much for coming back to this artist! So Hyang is the best female voice on the planet IMO. She can sing anything, and when she isn't battling the effects of pneumonia (which she was here, actually, not long before), she is the most dynamic singer I've heard in a long life of gravitating toward the female voice. Here she is singing sitting down on a dock in the wind. Absolutely unbelievable. What separates her from the very best technical singers on the planet is her sincerity, her genuine delivery. Evidently this is her very much as a human. What a treasure to hear her in America on KZfaq! Just 'Wow'. Oh, and the young lady who's jaw dropped , was surprised, I think, at So Hyang singing the saxophone solo part from Whitney's version. But all of those young musicians are in awe of her. The lady's name is Lee Hi, and she is an incredible singer in her own right. Her song 'Breathe' (in Korean) is worthy of a reaction, either her version or So Hyang's version of that same song. Both are incredibly emotional.

Sohyang's singing prowess extends beyond mere technical proficiency; she is a master at infusing her performances with genuine and heartfelt emotions. While her exceptional vocal techniques undoubtedly contribute to her artistry, it is her ability to connect with the music and convey deep emotions that truly sets her apart. When Sohyang sings, her voice becomes a vehicle for expressing a wide range of emotions, from joy and love to sorrow and longing. Her ability to connect with the lyrics and the essence of a song allows her to deliver performances that touch the hearts of her listeners. Through her vocal nuances, phrasing, and subtle vocal inflections, she brings authenticity and vulnerability to her interpretations. Sohyang's performances are marked by her capacity to evoke powerful emotions in her audience. Her voice carries the weight of her experiences and captures the essence of the songs she sings. Whether she is delivering a poignant ballad or an uplifting anthem, she has the ability to move her listeners to tears or fill them with a sense of hope and inspiration.

So Hyang joined these young gifted musicians in 2020 after doing the King of Mask Competition in 2017 (edited comment to correct the dates) while still suffering the effects of pneumonia as part of her goal to bring comfort to those going through difficult times, (as she, herself was doing). She travelled, to this pier on a giant steel mill which could not shut down during the Covid-19 restrictions, so the workers really needed a lift, with a nebulizer to help her sing during her recovery. So her breath control here is even more amazing, and this was the last song of the set they performed for them. I think they performed another set that evening, testing her stamina even more. So, even at less than full strength, So Hyang produced some her most epic performances. We are so fortunate that these performances were recorded so well! Thanks for your heartfelt reaction!

Dolly Parton is a miraculous human. I like to think that Porter Wagoner ultimately realized the significance of having this stunning expression of love and respect written for him. The setting of this performance provides a surreal reflection on the industrial-strength, global impact of Sohyang's utter commitment to the moment. It would have somehow felt different if it had been filmed at Carnegie Hall, or a mega-sporting/entertainment/political event. I'm fascinated by the audience-and their stories-almost as much as by the sublime talent of 김소향, and the love that shines toward her from her fellow performers. I've never seen anything like it!

Elizabeth, Here is what David Foster had to say about Sohyang in an interview with Naver on December 10, 2018, only a week after doing eight concerts with her at Tokyo's Blue Note Club. “I wanted to meet her very much, and I am happy to have collaborated in putting together a concert. Here is how I got to know about Sohyang. Oprah Winfrey introduced me to 'a stunningly amazing singer whose video is a must watch.' I fell in love at once with Sohyang's first video I watched on KZfaq, 'I Have Nothing.' It was thrilling, and I searched to listen to most of her other songs as well. I have wanted to meet her for a long time. She is one of the top divas I've come across." David Foster didn't hold back praises. "Her voice is very beautiful and overwhelming, and I found her every performance to be emotionally moving and amazing. Moving forward, I want to collaborate again!" _Translated from Korean by David Day Lee with just a few touch ups for English grammar by moi, Todd Sauve._ 😉

@@pryme2013 I feel she is better overall than Whitney was live, and I love Whitney. This lady's vocals are insane. This song is on the gentler side for So Hyang and she had been sick with pneumonia. The thing about Whitney is that her live performances paled compared to her studio work -- I have watched so many KZfaq performances of her over the years in live settings. So Hyang seems to be a master with live vocals. Just my opinion. I know a lot of people would disagree, but many would agree as well.

Sohyang is certainly talented! Nice. The song has now been covered numerous times, of course. This version is a mix between the pared down arrangement of the original and Whitney Houston's big vocals, and I think it makes for an effective rendition.

I'm case you're no aware, she's also heavily involved in arranging everything she sings too. She always brings something a bit different to her covers.

Hell yeah, thank you, before even listening yet. A for what it's worth...Misty from begin again korea is even better. It's pure bliss. Just read the comments section on it for an idea. Fate from I am singer is beyond them both and just up there near her top... yeah it's just so cool. Finally Breathe from masked singer, as well as Home just below it, are among her best. There is pure head voice magic in those two. Breathe making recent reactors tear up. Fate half the audience. It's sweet you got another one of hers in with this one but don't stop now, cause the best is still out there. I mean she is so special it's not like there's "too much" lol. Plus those there aren't like some and get a bit too much belt time. You can listen to them again and again. The masked singer show of her performances is full of that. Epic different stuff. Mona Lisa will blow your mind too. And she made rap epic in Day Day.

Oh that’s interesting about Dolly Parton, I did not know that. Sohyang’s rendition was indeed amazing, and got chills a few times, especially the quieter first section. Elizabeth, you should check out Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds playing Into my Arms live in Copenhagen. A simple but pure love song with so much emotion, and terrific crowd participation.

Hi Elizabeth, I’ve just watched your reactions to So Hyang’s 5 songs. I loved and very much appreciated your professional analysis and ability of catching So Hyang’s sincere personality and purpose of comforting people with her voice. I believe you are also the same kind of warm and great person as well as an excellent pro. May I recommend you to watch So Hyang’s cover ‘I have nothing’ (Whitney Houston)? I am so confident you’d love it very much too. Also, if you can, please react to another best artist from South Korea, called Forestella. It is a group of four men, all handsome, classic trained, talented performers. You will enjoy their performances and like them very much. Thank you and I hope I can see your reactions to them soon~

Hello Wow...I would have thought You did this one already...Your One of the very Few reactors I follow......Second before I start God Bless Kim, So Hyang he Just recently had Covid....But is Performing again and Doing BETTER ...Thanks God. This was done during the BeginAgainKorea series for the People by the Government for the People..outdoors without a stadium acoustics, And she delivers this Level of performance ...and Control, Her Runs always have Purpose...I think it is right around the 14:00 minute mark there is suppose to be a "Clarinet Solo" and Kim, So Hyang Just adds her own Touch...." Like here hold my water I got this" and most are none the Wiser. REALLY REALLY GREAT REACTION...AND THANKS FOR THE lOVE ...Even Happier You Still Doing reactions...KEEP IT UP

"소향(Sohyang) - I have nothing(2015.09.12 MBC 'I am a singer legend')" This video is the best. 😊 Her singing is insane! Believe me. Don't choose other "I have nothing" performance she had done before this.

I love it when you review Sohyang. I think that is because she is so humble but yet so perfectly trained. She seeks no real worldwide recognition and her dedication to people and their plight deserves recognition as well as her astounding dedication to god. I read once where she stopped people coming out of her performance and complimenting her correcting them that they should thank god not her because it was him not her. Those amoung us that are that humble need people like you, respected professionals to speak up for them and you do an excellent job of that. Sohyang is the ultimate communicator and story teller with her singing. NO ONE touches people like her. You do realize that this included an entire verse of her imitating saxaphone noises?

Amazing! I read in the comments she did this while she was sick and needed a nebulizer to help perform, and did a 2nd performance later that evening, which to me makes this so much more outstanding. She does her own arrangements, so she also improvised/sung the saxophone solo from the song as well! I have never heard of her until today, definitely amazing talent. Makes me want to watch the entire performance that day as well as her others. Thanks for the analysis of this artist.

She did a fantastic job making this song her own and also adding in her own notes and rendition to this song. You can’t mimic the original singers but you can make it your own and still wow the audience. Color me impressed! She’s got a heck of a set of pipes. So clear. If you’re able to do that acapella part of the song, then you sold me. It’s the hardest part in my opinion to capture those emotions without music. Second favorite are those runs that mimic wailing and emotional pleas. Almost reminds me of a Korean drama all of a sudden.
