  1. There's a performance of that from LSH was young that's really good. OH. Found it. Really old school. LOL
  2. She pulls notes like that all the time. 1:30 and 2:54 The power behind her voice is unbelievable. Such control she has, too.
  3. You're mixing two people. I would call it resonant, as it was projected. Also, please stay consistent. I get what you mean, but your post contradicts itself, to be honest. Which video? I didn't post a studio video. OOPS. IGNORE THAT. The point of the comparison is that her lower register is better than SoHyang's. Just because SoHyang's isn't that great, the comparison isn't moot. It's what the comparison meant to highlight (not that I'm intending to compare now).
  4. No, twins and dorm mates. I just thought it was interesting. The first one, I actually listened through the whole thing and realized the second performance in the first video had more in the way of that, I think. I'd call it resonant. No one said it was surprising or impossible, just that her lower register is developed and supported. Anyway, there are more, but I don't know any of the titles, so I can't really post them. Maybe he will whenever he gets settled in Korea. Anyway, what a beautiful voice.
  5. Yeah, it's kind of sad, though. The only reason I clicked on her videos to begin with is because she bears an uncanny resemblance to my aunt. Literally, they could be twins. I've tried seeing who might have possibly influenced her from the West, but Babs is the only one I can think of. She's covered a few of Babs's songs before. She did Whitney at her most recent concert, but there's no video of it.
  6. LSH is very underrated in the international community for someone of her talent. I really love this song, too.
  7. Her lower register IS pretty projected. Honestly, I've heard so much LSH before (same dorm room) that I've asked him stop playing her, so I've definitely HEARD it, but I'm not sure about titles. Around 1:00~1:20, especially the 1:06 area and the second performance. I'll post this one again, but it's been posted before: She shifts seamlessly and evenly through all her registers here. Anyway, he's on a flight to Korea now, and I don't know when he'll be available to post, so I decided to post those two because I do know those. And, as a side note, Huang Ma in her prime could sing circles around just about anyone. I read recently that one of her songs is actually used on the 10th (I believe out of twelve?) level of China's national vocal exam. I'm not too familiar with the exam, but I did ask my Chinese friends about it, and they said that 10 is a high level and that the exam is a very professional exam for vocalists and is given either through the government or through universities. As of now, it's the only song no one has managed to completely sing with full marks.
  8. Her lower register is amazing as is her mid register. LSH's upper register is good, too. She just doesn't use it all that often. And, LSH lower register >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sohyang's. /end
  9. There are enough clips posted here, to be honest. I don't really stan LSH, so I don't feel like doing all that. XD
  10. Akisame said it wasn't a fact that LSH was more resonant in all her registers.
  11. I thought it was pretty much accepted that SoHyang doesn't have too great of a lower register? From the Kpop vocal analysis blog: "Lower Register: Not well supported/quiet below G#3/A3 lower notes can sometimes be lost due to the airiness of them." Or, do you not agree with that?
  12. There's nothing really to get into. But, yeah. Whatever. =P
  13. It's the visual CAN--not that it always does, and you can tell if it is or isn't based on the sound. I'm not saying anything about a particular performer, just the action in general.
  14. I'm not saying it's poor technique here, but jaw moving is not a "visual effect." It serves no purpose. As far as I know, it can occur from trying to produce vibrato in an unnatural way, tension somewhere, or being very relaxed and not paying particular attention to it--which isn't a bad thing. That's what I've read/heard at least. But, I fail to see it as a visual effect as it has no aesthetic value and can appear to be poor technique. Obviously, one can tell if the vibrato is healthy and the sound well-supported if they know what to look for and the jaw isn't a big deal there, but to others, it could look incorrect. I fail to see why anyone would intentionally sing that way if they have good technique. Just my opinion, at least. Sure, I guess someone could, but it would just be weird. =\
  15. "Queen of the Night" requires multiple F6s, and I've seen one song call for F#6. Not that you're wrong, just I don't really see these notes as being extra, even if they aren't common as you said. But, that's just what I think/feel.
  16. I LOVE opera. Just my two cents. If I could sing like Sumi Jo ... *____*
  17. I got -1 for posting my range Why? I was serious, y'all ...
  18. For me, my full range is g#2 - A6, but I can only support up to about D6 well and kind of support up to f#6, but after that it's a mess and not worth mentioning. I'm most comfortable in the high fourth and up to low sixth octave. ._. I'd like to be able to support more, but singing is just my hobby, not something I take that seriously.
  19. Ah. Good to know. XD I've never really paid much attention. I don't listen to pop all that much, so I've never noticed disparaties in style.
  20. I'm just basing off the ones I've seen. Haha From watching Chinese singing shows, when singers growl, the crowd seems to react favorably. It's almost the highlight of the performance. Almost every male contest on Na Ying's team from season 1 growled/gruffed it up quite a bit. That being said, I'm not saying you're wrong. XD I don't listen to much Chinese music, so I'll trust you on that one.
  21. I won't try to deny it. No one is perfect. My main point was that she's a good deal better than what you could tell from 'Without You." And, she's forty-six now, and seeing how well her voice has held up, I think minor pitch issues aren't that big a deal.
  22. Haha. The low register video is a traditional song, so I didn't bother to post. I've noticed a lot of Chinese singers growl a lot. Maybe it's a preference? I don't know. That vid, I felt was more Janis Joplin inspired. She's listed as one of her favorite vocalists. She does Celine better than she does Mariah but not as well as her Chinese songs. She can have very clear high notes with no gruffness. I honestly think in her upper register it's all stylistic, but there are times in the mid register where I've questioned it (but she did have a fever of 102°, so maybe that's why?). Her belts of G5 and up are stellar. I've seen a lot of people say she is a good soloist and a bad duet partner. Maybe she's not so great at harmonizing. Haha If you are interested, she growls less in early years (she still does, but I think '05 was when she really started it a lot). Some of her best stuff is from around 2000~2008, but not much was recorded because she wasn't that popular. Thanks for taking the time to watch them. I don't agree with everything, but I respect your opinions.
