Ailee and SISTAR’s Hyorin appeared on the January 4 ‘rival’ episode of KBS’s “Immortal Song” and went head-to-head singing Shin Seung Hoon’s “Your Smile in My Memory” and Kim Gun Mo’s “First Impression,” respectively.

After both of their performances, “Immortal Song” host Shin Dong Yeop asked Ailee how she feels about being compared to Hyorin as her rival. Ailee said, “I don’t like it. We’re really close, and being pitted against each other is awkward for both of us.” Hyorin agreed, and said, “It’s embarrassing and awkward. I’ve been close to Ailee since before her first album, after shooting a drama together.”

When asked what they would choose if they had to decide between friendship and victory, the two singers both chose friendship. But Ailee joked, “I thought friendship was more important, too, so I put together a calm and gentle performance, but here’s Hyorin talking about friendship and coming out with a huge dance performance. It’s like she was bent on winning!”

Other rival battles on the January 4 episode of “Immortal Song” were Jo Jang Hyuk vs. V.O.S, and Moon Myung Jin vs. Bada.

If the media stopped trying to label them both as the Korean Beyonce, they'd have an easier time, I'd imagine.

that's not why they're compared to bey lol, it's because of they're both great singers and it's obvious they kind of emulate bey (tbh i think hyorin does it more). hyori is a great performer, but she's a bad singer. both ailee and hyorin are good performers and singers

I don't know, Ailee's U&I was a big Crazy in Love homage to me. But yeah, those big, belty voices kind of facilitated the association, but they didn't help by covering Beyonce's songs over and over and over.

U&I was def inspired by bey but the thing with ailee is that even when she covers Beyoncé she puts her own spin to her songs. Idk how to explain myself, but with Hyorin it always seems as if she tries too hard to cover Beyoncé without being herself.

No, you're definitely right. Ailee doesn't really have favor Beyonce as much IMO anyway, she loves covering a number of American r&b artists and doesn't really cover Beyonce more than any other. When Hyorin does it she covers arrangements, choreo and the songs themselves. She recently did an exact cover of Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams" arrangement she used for the VMA's some years ago. IMO, I think Hyorin has the dancing down but Ailee has the vocal stamina and sheer force. Hyorin seems to wear herself out quite a bit.

Lol well when you put it that way i understand what you're saying, but lol Hyori is worse than Janet. Hyori's voice is more like Britney, although obvs better. She was never a good singer but she always managed to cover that up with great performances (kinda like Britney during her peak).

I always forget that Hyorin is actually pretty young lol I love her to death but she seems older than she is , physically and personality wise. I prefer Hyorin's voice bc I think its unique and I always know when it is her singing, but they're both great and its cool that they are friends

They probably do. I could see them singing Bey's "Pretty Hurts" or something while drunk + crying.

A bit oot. Why Taeyeon isn't included as vocal queens? She has a nice voice too

Taeyeon has a different voice type. Her belting range isn't as strong or full (she doesn't have as much vocal power) as Hyorin's or Ailee's voice, which is why she isn't compared to those two. Rather than power, Taeyeon has a more emotional voice that fits osts and ballads. That doesn't necessarily mean she's not a vocal queen.

Plus the article is on Hyorin and Ailee, there's no reason for Taeyeon to be brought up in the comments...

Thanks for answering.

And why I brought Taeyeon up I think it's very obvious that I'm being OOT.
Calm down.
