SOHYANG & POS

The Heavenly Diva SoHyang won another episode of KBS The Immortal Songs.
It's her only third appearance and she already won twice of them!
At her first appearance, she sang 'Lean On Me' in front of Michael Bolton
and she made him do standing ovation for her.
Bolton praised her saying she is a 'Virtuoso' and he asked her a duet and they did at his concerts.

Whenever she sings, people get crazy about her perfect performance and she did it again.
The Episode was about the English pop songs that korean people love.
And she chose 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel.
She was so busy before this appearance, she had a lot of schedules in a row before the show.
she didn't have time enough to practice but she made it again.

She was 4th singer of 7 singers of the show.
Since she chose this old pop song, there were many people who didn't know this song.
(Other singers chose Let it Go of Disney Frozen OST, My Heart Will Go On by Celin Dion, Heal The World by Michael Jackson..

She didn't belt those her B5~C6 like her other songs, but still sounded strong and amazing and of course emotional.
This song has very gospel sound and you know she is a CCM singer, so it was perfect for her.

Although many people got up from their seats for her after her performance, the score was just 416.
Weirdly the audiences were calmer than other days and they didn't put the button for singers.
so the score was lower than anybody expected.
but she kept defeating other singers and became the final winner of the show.
In fact, she was only one who got over 400 score of the show.


By the way her birthday was 5th April, so this day, her fans brought big flowers, cake, letters, meals and snacks for her, her family, her team and other staffs of the show. they also would buy an expensive gift for her but she asked them to donate the money for Haiti.
So her fans donated money like $2,000 to Haiti.

The heavenly diva SoHyang appeared at Immortal Songs again.
The theme of the episode is Korean Folk Song and she sang '홀로 아리랑'(Arirang Alone)

She already won the episode of Michael Bolton singing 'Lean On Me' that Bolton praised SoHyang is virtuoso.
It was so western music, and Arirang is so oriental and korean music...
KBS kept asking for her one more appearance so SoHyang appeared again.
Since it was so oriental sound, her company didn't decide easily
but SoHyang decided to to because this song is about Dokdo Island no matter how she win or not.
(*Dokdo is the most eastern small island that belongs to Korea and Japan is still saying it belongs to japan and for korean people, it seems that Japan still want to invade to and steal Korean property...It's a kinda symbol of independent Korea... in this song, Dokdo is also related of Unity of South Korea and North Korea)

Sadly she was chosen first singer to perform.
Since it was Folk Song episode, there were no immortal singer like Michael Bolton to be introduced before the show. so they just had to start the show and people were NOT warmed up yet.

SoHyang just had to show up... but she made the perfect performance.
And she got 411. it's really really high score for first performer(even without warming up).
but she didn't become the final winner.

Anyway she made a huge impression.

Jo Kwan-Woo appeared with his father, Jo TongDal-human cultural assets of Korea and his son, a pianist.
He was also I Am A Singer performer, so he knew SoHyang is kinda super singer.
So he said 'SoHyang is difficult (to defeat).'

His father, Jo TongDal said SoHyang has a wonderful voice so he wants to scout her, if she did Korean traditional music only, She would be the world best. 

Song SoHee(who became the final winner of the episode) said that she did the same song before, and SoHyang did like 10 times...100 times.. so much better than her.

Yang DongGeun who is very close with SoHyang and has worked with her on a couple of songs said if a sick person hears her voice, he would get up right away.

Sunwoo, a popera singer, hit E6 during her performance, and MCs asked about that note to SoHyang because everybody knows SoHyang can hit really really high notes... but SoHyang said 'I don't think I can do that..' but she was like 'Was it this note?' and she just hit that note easily.. with her super head voice with big resonance.
MCs were like 'You were like I can do that, too!'. So hilarious..LOL

SoHyang will have a joint concert with opera singers on 24th.
She's not an opera singer, but she is a main singer with baritone Kim DongKyu.
