  1. Note: This is not the performance that was removed but a separate one. 2:33-2:39 Her voice cracks (at the same part of the song) and goes a little off melody. It seems this run gives her a bit of trouble now.
  2. There are differences in pop and classical techniques, but many elements of classical technique are present in pop as well. There are some aspects of classical training that are not relevant to pop training (such as voice projection because pop music allows for a microphone). Also, some styles of pop (and other contemporary singing styles) require the use of areas of the voice not utilized or not encouraged in classical singing, and classical training cannot prepare you for singing aspects of these styles. However, it will provide you with fundamental technique and music knowledge, but maybe not everything you learn will be relevant in pop music, and there may be areas of the voice that end up being more developed than a pop singer's typically would be and maybe some a little underdeveloped. Other than that, I don't know much.
  3. It's not a solid fact. I don't even hear it. I can do that, too, and so can Pan Naixian and scores of other critics and coaches who have more credentials than you or I, and you seem to be in the minority. That's the truth of the matter. Just sayin'. Anyway, I've gotta go eat. Quite famished. It was a nice chat, even if we didn't agree.
  4. Okay, I'm really not arguing about her voice anymore, just going to say, I can post a video about someone and say, "XX strained in this video." Anyone can. That being said, I listened to and gave my opinion; it just didn't agree with yours (but did with a world-renowned vocal coach).
  5. I am objective, and my information is coming from a MUCH more reputable source than you. You didn't even back it up, so you're welcome. I thought you really needed it. That being said, we're not going to get through to each other, so I'm finished here. Have a good 'un.
  6. You need to take about three seats. Come back to me when you know as much about vocals as people like him and have even published your own study on pop vocals. Until then, your words mean nothing.
  7. You can find someone to translate it for you if you wish. Basically, a longtime vocal coach in China who coaches vocals in university, is highly regarded, and has produced novels in the study of vocal technique and voice (and who specializes in Chinese style, bel canto style, and Western style singing), and has studied vocal technique for more than five decades (at least) praised Huang Qishan as being a model for vocal technique.
  8. You can type it until your fingers fall off, but that doesn't make it true. Not from me she's not.
  9. No, I know what strain sounds like. I don't know THAT much about vocals, but I at least know that much, and she doesn't strain regularly, and saying she does is like me saying Sohyang has no head voice. Both are ridiculous.
  10. And, my point is, Sohyang's resonating chambers aren't blasting away like Babs, either, and the only reason I am commenting again is because Huang Qishan (rather erroneously) was attacked to make Sohyang look better.
  11. I'm allowing that she strains sometimes because I'm of the opinion no one is perfect every note. Personally, though, I don't hear strain.
  12. 1. Her voice is agile, and you've not done anything to prove your point other than stating that. 2. "In that performance" As a whole, she does, and I still don't hear ANY tense notes. 3, 4, and 5. It is fine, and unless you've got credentials better than someone such as Pan Naixian, you're not going to convince me otherwise. She sounds perfectly resonant, and her tone is fine. I find nothing to suggest that it isn't optimally resonant other than you are saying it isn't, while others say it is. 6. I would say that you're lying about the tone and resonance. 7. And Sohyang is as resonant as Babs? Again, if you take the time to read what I posted from a more credible source with better-informed information than what I believe either you or I can offer, you'll find there's nothing wrong with her resonance. Huang Qishan's head voice is operatic and vibrant and clear, too. Whitney had technical issues. She sounded good, not perfect, as I've said. No, she hasn't. I'm not even sure where you're getting that, to be honest. I don't recall me saying it was stronger. I've been making an effort not to compare here (and, if I did compare, oops). Huang Qishan doesn't strain, either, and frankly, I haven't heard her strain, but I'll allow that EVERYONE strains from time to time, so I'm not going to say that she (nor anyone else) has NEVER strained.
  13. I'm not so caught up that I'm not hearing it. Am I saying that she hits EVERY note perfectly? No, but neither does ANYONE. But, does she strain all the time? No, she's got great technique, and unless you can present qualifications that top China's vocal coaches, you can take a seat and find something better to do with your time because you won't convince me.
  14. She doesn't strain. She's actually used as a model for singing in Chinese vocal classes, even by some of the most renowned vocal coaches in China.
  15. If you can read Chinese (or if you can't, you might want to find someone who can), you can read a more official analysis of Huang Qishan's head voice and resonance capabilities, which I'll post below here:
  16. Okay, I wasn't going to get into this because I was just curious about Sohyang (and other singers who do that like The One), and I wasn't trying to hate or anything, but I have to admit that Huang Qishan is my bias, and I think you're just being full of crap. Mediocre agility? No, she's not trying to sing that song with agility. Check out some other performances (I think I've posted one here already) where she does a series of runs ending in D6 and E6 notes within a matter of seconds. Tense notes? No, there aren't any. They're all resonant, and her head voice is great. I can link you to other performances if you want. Her tone production is absolutely fine, and she's able to swiftly switch tones. You're really off-base in this comment. China's premier vocal coaches have any applauded her tones, saying that no one in Asia can sing this way. I don't know if you can read Chinese, but if you can't, I'd highly recommend you to look at her vocal analysis from Chinese professionals, and you'll see that Huang Qishan's technique is "unparalled" (I put it in quotes because these are the words of a nationally-renowned vocal coach, not a onehallyu user). As far as her vocal tract, there's nothing wrong with it, and she's able to sing freely up to a G#6 in it (again, something a music insider in China thought impossible until she showed him). Huang Qishan is also forty-four in that performance, and sings it very well. Nothing about her head voice is mediocre. Fine, you like Sohyang, but you don't have to lie about others to make Sohyang look good. It's funny how you mention her resonator chambers not being active when Chinese vocal coaches have also analyzed this aspect of her voice in a manner very contradictory to yours. In short, just in case you don't bother to read it, it mentions her ability to have perfect resonance throughout her register, both high and low. Am I saying that Sohyang doesn't have good resonance? No, just saying that you're not right about Huang Qishan. So again, I think you're full of it here, to be quite honest. Poor technique CAN produce good sound--look at Whitney. Does it make you sound perfect? Of course not. But good? Sure, it can.
  17. It looks to me as if she's not intentionally doing it, though. It happens when she belts, too. That being said, I'm not saying I don't believe you. I don't know enough about vocals to do that.
  18. Why do some singers' heads shake when they sustain a powerful note? The singers I'm talking about are generally pretty resonant, so I was wondering if this is related to technique or not. Example (around 2:30):

  20. Huang Qishan (黄绮çŠ) was born March 23, 1968 and remained relatively unknown in China until last year (despite her twenty-seven years in the music business). She was chosen to sing China's theme song for the 2004 Olympics. After appearing on China's version of "I Am a Singer," she went on to claim almost-overnight popularity. Huang Qishan has been noted by critics for many years to be the best singer in China, with some critics calling her the best in Asia. She has been called the "Chinese Mariah Carey" and the "Chinese Whitney Houston" She is commended for her wide vocal range, control, soulful style, and various vocal techniques. She has only released a few albums (only two of which are full-length albums), and her song "Only You" is one of her only early works that is widely listened to, and one of the only songs from her early career she routinely sings. Huang Qishan had her first solo concert March 8, 2014 and will have another on April 26. Enjoy! (Some of you may recognize her from EXO's reaction video to her performance.)
