Soohyun should be much higer up, though. MUCH higher.

Further explanation on the categorisation

[chloe1910.livejournal.com]

I saw somewhere that there is slight further explanation to the catergorisation as follows:
Tone = Voice,tone colour/timbre
Treble = Ability to reach the high vocal pitch
Skills = Vocal skills & techniques
Volume = Vocal range
Expressiveness = Expressive power


I'm glad that Jae's singing skills is finally recognised!!! In my opinion, how they ranked JYJHM is the same as mine. Though I've always prefered Jaejoong's voice, it's undeniable that Junsu is technically more skilled. Junsu is truly one of the most consistent and stable singer I've ever heard.

I think Changmin(TVXQ) deserved to be in higher spot though. Meanwhile, I wouldn't put Taeyang at no.3 cause I've always find Daesung to be the best singer in Big Bang.

I definitely feel that Kyuhyun should be at higher spot than Onew. I must admit that sometimes, Kyuhyun's voice is not really that stable but to me, he's definitely better than Onew.

Mte.

[l-h-shey.livejournal.com]

It may be fake, but I'm still pleasantly surprised to see C.N.Blue's Jonghyun on here. I've always loved his voice, I actually prefer it to Yonghwa's.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

This, all of this.

[kissuholic.livejournal.com]

Junsu is forever the one with the heavenly voice <333333333

i do agree on a lot in this list. Thou some... really now? really?

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

what is this list

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Fun?

[aj-123.livejournal.com]

Junsu 4 ever #1!!!

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

I've always preferred Taemin's vocals to Key's and when I saw them at London I was BLOWN AWAY!

His position on the chart (which is apparently fake) may be debatable but he can sing!

[beauty0fparting.livejournal.com]

God, I was so scared for him because this is one of my favorite Se7en songs. He did a great job!

[shiddex.livejournal.com]

what are a few of the irrelevant ones on the list?

I AM SO GLAD LEEJONGHYUN IS HERE. :'D

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

Junsu and Jaejoong took #1 and #2, that's all I really care about. Victory!!

[shigeshoshii.livejournal.com]

Honestly I dislike Junsu's voice alone. He does great with harmonies and group works, but his voice solo is so awkward to me. whatever.

I'm just going to make my own list where Daesung is in the top 5. And Onew beating out Kyuhyun and Yesung--sorry, but as much as Onew is one of my top vocalists, it's no where near close enought to beat those boys.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

hmmm but vocal tone does not equal vocal ability.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

As long as DBSK OT5 is on this list (and my KRY) I am so good ^o^



And I'm pleased to see Sandeul and CN Blue's Jonghyun on this list XD Get it bbs *thumbs up*

My Own Bias List

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

In order of their own groups that I listen to cuz I am having a really hard time comparing outside their groups

2AM: Jokown, Changmin, Seulong, Jinwoon
2PM: Junsu, Wooyoung, Junho and...etc. (actually I probably should be watching more performances before ranking them. I don't even know their names lol)
DBSK/JYJ: Junsu, JJ, Changmin, Yunho, Micky
Big Bang: Daesung, Taeyang and etc.
Super Junior: Yesung, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Sungmin and etc.
Shinee: Onew, Jonghyun and etc.

Out of all of them, I think Junsu (DBSK) sings the best.

As for the groups, I like KRY, 2AM, DBSK, Shinee in terms of singing.

[quezom.livejournal.com]

These posts, legit or not, always bring the lulz. Some tend to judge vocals with their loins it seems. How much you like their tone ≠ how well they can sing.

With that said, I've never been a fan of Ryeowook's tone but he is easily the most consistent in suju and can saaaang.

[forevrseptember.livejournal.com]

all 5 of dbsk/jyj on the list? immediately relevant.

not even that butthurt that taemin is above yunho.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

lol it started off well then I saw Taemin and Neil on this list and I went 'really now!?'

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

Niel is actually an extremely good singer, especially when you consider his age. He sings the vast majority of Teen Top's songs, sings live at least 90% of the time, and I've hardly ever heard him crack or hit a bum note.

Ignore the accent and just listen to the actual singing :

[harisukaori.livejournal.com]

OP you forgot the Dong Bang Shin Ki tag.

I'm so happy Yunho made the list. And I see Sungmin ^^ Finally my bias gets recognised for his singing ability :)

But Taeyang in no 3?! Way too high :/

[hileahrious.livejournal.com]

I agree with a lot of this yay.

[iwasasamurai.livejournal.com]

Omg in tears. First legit list around. All 4 of my biases made it. And they hardly ever appear on these lists even though their voices are awesome.

[kamakazza.livejournal.com]

Junsu is number 1 and that's all I care about!!!

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i knew this list is fake since it didn't have dalmatian in the list. lol!

but seriously, can the vocalists of dalmatian get recognition for their awesome singing? :o(

and when is dalmatian's next comeback? better be soon.

and no, jinwoon is not at the same level as yunho nor key. he is so much better than them. and daesung's tone score is lower than taeyang? yikes!

but to be honest, to me, a lot of the great singers in kpop sound out of tune at times. and they're already singing ballads. but that's just me and my untrained ears. lol!

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

Jisu can go pretty high, it's crazy.

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

whoa how did taemin get higher than key? well w/e I agree with most of this list

[sora501.livejournal.com]

youngsaeng ♥

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

eh. I think a lot of these guys are overrated. But Yoseob should be higher, I don't think he gets enough appreciation.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

yeah Yoseob is beyond talented

[xoxgoodbye.livejournal.com]

I know this list is fake, but almost any singing list loses its validity with Taeyaeng being ranked soon much higher than singers who are better than him.

6. SHINee Onew (Tone: 8.5, Treble: 3, Skills: 3, Volume: 3.5, Expressiveness 7, Total: 25)
