I know there are lots of powerful vocalists in kpop but I do agree with the five singers here. Omona, do you agree with the top 5 and who are your faves that are not here?

I think Sungkyu and Chen are my favourite voices in kpop at the moment ^_^

[http://users.livejournal.com/psychedelico_/]

they're all great but where is chen

[torontok.livejournal.com]

TBH this is one of the worst videos to show off Chen's voice lol.He was screeching to hit those last few notes. But ia, he's one of the best in the industry and his lower range is unmatched

whoooooooooooo hopefully this post turns into vocal wank discourse. quickly someone bring up stuff from that kpopvocalanalysis blog that everyone seems to hate so we can get this party started

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

i'm a bit lost as to what the criteria is for this video (and what indigestion has to do with it) but showcasing Idol vocalists is never a bad thing imo

Want to echo Chen and if we're talking underrated power vocalists as well mention NCT's Taeil and Doyoung

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Yes @ Taeil and Doyoung

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

taeil is so good he deserves mOREEEE

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

Yessssss at Taeil! Please can someone give him more opportunities to show off what an amazing pocket prince vocalist he is.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Just to here to add to WHERE IS CHEN?!

I'd like to add Jonghyun, 'cause duh! And Ryeowook because even if I personally don't like his vocal tone, little dude's got lungs and vocal cords of steel to belt out high notes for hours on end.

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

where is ma wookie - most stable vocalist of all time <3

[towel-oppa.livejournal.com]

I would say Chen and Baekhyun, maybe Daesung too, Jjong, taeil, Taeyang, Doyoung, hongki, kyuhyun, yoseob, there is also someone from BAP but forgot his name. And there are many others that I also forgot but the one I put are usually my favorite

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Underappreciated vocalist JeUp of IMFACT singing Park Hyo Shin

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Man, if only Jeup hadn't debuted in such a company... He is such a freaking gem.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

SeungYoon and Hui have sort of similar tones but I prefer Hui's. I don't know if he should be top 5 but he's definitely top 10.

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

yes at the nflying mention!

the two inseongs from sf9 and knk are my faves and doyoung of course!!

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

hui and jinho >>

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

eunkwang truly has some pipes, i love his voice
echoing everyone who has mentioned chen and jonghyun of course, i also like hui and jinho's voices, super junior kry, junsu, sandeul, taeil and doyoung are already great and will definitely get better, as well as seungkwan and dokyum! aaand that's about it for groups i stan/know about

[sparkb.livejournal.com]

Oooh I immediately thought about June

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Monsta X's Kihyun~ But I'm a card carrying monbebe so I'm biased af, haha.
Shownu is really good too, tho he's not really a strong singer (idk)... but when he and Kihyun sing the chorus of Broken Heart... ♡_♡

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

i absolutely looove kihyun's voice!

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I know everyone's already said Chen so lemme add B1A4's Sandeul and KNK's Inseong. Youjin from KNK also has an amazing voice but his technique is lacking, he yells a lot.

Also Vromance has some pipes too

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Got7's Youngjae?

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

seventeen getting paid dust once again.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

since this is power vocals I'm going to give a hot take (it's prob not idk how teen speak works) but I know Wolf is basically a complete joke of a song overall it has the single biggest power vocal parts in an uptempo song for a vocal line to do live, and it's incessant no vocalist in that song gets a rest after the bridge. idk many groups that could pull that off there's definitely been some power vocal parts in songs since but none where the entire vocal line is giving it 100. i'll always love the song because of that lol the remix really shows it off too.

[avrgaesthetics.livejournal.com]

i'd have to say my top five are taeil, hui ryeowook, jjong, and baekhyun.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Hongki gets no respect.

[horichansenpai.livejournal.com]

ikr dude can literally run around stage while still belting like nothing hahahah if only Korea loved him and fti as much as they love Lovesick

Listened to the stream for the rock fest last night and Hongki sounded great

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Uh.
Lmao.
Nope at most of these.

[horichansenpai.livejournal.com]

Definitely looking forward to Hweseung's progress, he's one to watch out for. His high note in that collab with Hongki a while ago really freaked me out

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

I know SM groups include several useless members, but they always have amazing vocalists. So where are them.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

one of my fave vocals in kpop is up10tion's sunyeol tbh! i listen to him doing tears (https://youtu.be/_yj3KCksaeQ) on king of masked singer nearly weekly tbh. so many of you have brought up jongdae's in here and the truth is: sunyeol's done it better

i dunno about how technically right this is (is this list full of power vocals?) but i also really like cube's male vocals (eunkwang and jinho are my faves!) & obviously kihyun—his voice is sooo good and it keeps getting better 💜. also woohyun > sunggyu's vocals, but i like woohyun's tone better which contributes to that

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

I'm going to assume based off of comments since I won't watch the video, that Kyuhyun wasnt mentioned. Not sure how, he is like THE vocalist. I guess it's the new gen that will get mentioned now.

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

Daehyun though! His range and style is so varied, and he's pretty effortless when it comes to holding onto notes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjaPUY-tU9A Easy is a really great showcase for Daehyun's more soulful, husky vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuyhll9zy50 his cover of you're the best is an even better supported version.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/FLkrd3BYlkA?start=113 Dystopia's a fun look at his really high, unsupported falsetto, which is great.

And of course, Daehyun's a fabulous belter. There are plenty of examples. One Shot, Badman, but I really like Goodbye, because it's so dramatic and fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofq191Di8U0

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

Thanks I was too lazy to post him

[kicking-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I'm going to assume it's because they're already considered legends, otherwise I'd have to swallow the disrespect to the og rising gods of the east except not really because I'd end up vomiting out a 10pg, single-spaced, .5cm-margined rant.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I mean what are communities for if not for long rants no one asked for? That's why we're here tbh

[kicking-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I'd highlight the 2012 batch of boygroup power vocalists, Eunkwang/Changsub, Sandeul, Chen, Daehyun, and my poor kid Ken, who belts high notes like no other. Srsly. Not one mention? His duet competition stages are legendary. Dem crazy high notes!

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Girl omg. Ken! I have separate bookmarks just for his singing show and musical performances lol

[lilolamb90.livejournal.com]

Daehyun, junsu, jaejoong, jonghyun, that guy from ukiss..can't remember his name...soohyun i think? Daesung, onew, yesung from super junior, yesoeb from highlight, youngjae from Got 7, hui from pentagon (I think that's his name)

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Jonghyun (SHINee) >>>>>

Also Tey (MR.MR) and Ken (VIXX)
