Jonghyun has been years singing 'Hyeya' on shows. Now Alejandro,original author of 'Y si fuera ella' (song that inspired Hyeya lyrics and music) is tweeting about this "unique version" .... video is getting positive reactions from Sanz's fans


Here you can listen original song in spanish by Alejandro Sanz:


Also a while ago in Lee sung soo ,part of production team that recorded Hyeya with Jonghyun back in 2008 , talked about lyrics and recording process:

Kim eana: Finally, i’d like to hear about your proudest a&r work.

Lee sung soo: when i was in charge of shinee, a song i really liked at that time was alejandro sanz’s “y si fuera ella”, and i thought it would be really amazing if shinee’s jonghyun could sing that song. that song was reborn as “혜야 (hyeya)”. the process was really difficult but, personally, i’m really proud of and satisified with the work.

Kim eana: that’s the very song that first got me int shinee! so, you were behind the birth of that song?

Lee sung soo: No. that song was created entirely by the songwriter kenzie - who arranged it, wrote the lyrics and directed it -, and jonghyun, who sang it. i’m not saying that to be modest; it’s the truth. we spent a five whole days just on recording it, and i can’t describe how hard it was to try to bring out the nuance of the original song’s language (spanish) as much as possible. jonghyun was on the verge of total exhaustion and kenzie suffered a lot through it too. but chairman lee soo man was very pleased with the outcome and decided, “this needs to get broadcast.” he judged that the image of jonghyun singing the song would be helpful in securing shinee’s position at the time.

Kim eana: Those are the moments when a&r truely shines. when you create chemistry between artists!

(Taken from kim eana’s book, “kim eana’s songwriting method”. kim eana is a lyricist who is most famous for her work with brown eyed girls and iu. she also wrote the lyrics to shinee’s “hello.”)

I couldn't stop smiling when I saw this! It's always cool when the original composer/lyricist acknowledges a remake that they appreciate. I'm proud of jjong.

He's annoying as hell and his voice and music suck balls.

In my case I basically hate him because he is annoying in interviews haha
But if you want a legit reason, he has said a lot of dumb shit on twitter, specially about a law related with copyrigt and illegal downloads that got out of hand.
And he compared the right of kids with AIDS in Africa to get medication to the rights of authors. I don't know what was his point.
His relationships doesn't help. I'm pretty sure he cheated to her previous wife and even had a son with the other woman. That he has son with the other woman is a fact, what is kind of confusing if he started the relationship with the other woman while he was married (both women say that it was).

Same here tbh. I actually hate him and most of these melodic male singers like Pablo Alboran, Manuel Carrasco, etc. Their music is too damn boring.

It's always nice to get such acknowledgement from the original. I never knew Hyeya was the romanized Korean title. I kept seeing requests for it in fanaccounts during his concerts, and was wondering why they would spell that Outkast song incorrectly or even request it from him lol.

lmaaaaaaaaaao. yeah, i saw most fan accounts were just calling it "hyeya" too. idk if there's ever been an explanation of what hyeya means minus "hye" probably being for a name and some fodder tale that jonghyun conned kenzie into tacking it onto the title for a girl he was dating at the time. wild rumors.

I think "Hyeya" as a whole is actually a female name? I could be wrong.

From: [identity profile] byeolbyeol.livejournal.com
oh yeah, it is, and that's probably the name they were going for. i was just going off of the ~rumor about how it was only half a name to cover up the real name, lmao.

I looked it up, and someone on youtube explained it as just a general word to call out to someone without any reference to gender. Why am I not surprised that people tried to make it some girlfriend's name, though?

I've always hated Alejandro Sanz's songs with the passion of a thousand burning suns because when he was at his peak during the 90s, they would be played ALL DAY LONG.

Jonghyun's version made me actually appreciate "Y si fuera ella". And I actually prefer Hyeya because Jonghyun >>>>> Alejandro as a singer.

Totally agree. Alex's fans obviously say the opposite but objectively speaking Jonghyun's vocal technique/power is MILES ahead of Alejandro's.

OMG I'm so fucking proud of him. That would get him some attention from people that wouldn't know a thing about kpop and that's nice.

I hate how some people in the comments assumed that he's chinese/japanese without bothering asking where is he from tho. Ofc those are the only two possible east asian nationalities. Rme.

Finally!! Agter all these years! Even my parents who aren't kpop fans love this version! They would ask me to play it over and over again! My dad even has the song in his phone. Plus a song from Yesung

It's funny to see how the Spanish omonians don't like Alejandro at all xD In Portugal he's so popular and we love him to bits (well, we pretty much love 99% of the most known Spanish singers out there)But i guess that goes for me when it comes to Portuguese singers, I can't even listen to them. I still know all his songs by heart!!
