I have to agree with you 100% about junsu being the best in technique. and emotions. he perfectly gives out the emotion of the song which some of the other artists admire him for. thats what makes him #1 singer in South korea ( i dont know if this is official though) he has something that nobody else does. im glad jaejoong is now exploring different genres. (oh man! does he rock a rock music! jj the rockstar is love!) i admire his musicality. yoochun too. i am more into jaejoong and junsu's voice. for me they are especially different. unique. now of course they sound best if they sing as five. In perfect harmony.

I mean it has been a while and I personally think that the only good thing that came out of the lawsuit was that it forced the boys to try and develop their own voices more. Changmin and Yunho obviously have more parts in songs now and I personally think that they've really improved. Jae and Junsu are amazing as always. And the only recent thing I've heard Yoochun sing lately was Magic Castle for his drama and well...yeah haha. But I really did love this review!

It is the most common male voice.Originally from the Greek(barýtonos), meaning deep (or heavy) sounding, music for this voice is typically written in the range from the second F below middle C to the F above middle C (i.e. F2–F4) in choral music, and from the second G below middle C to the G above middle C (G2 to G4) in operatic music, but can be extended at either end.<br /><br />A countertenor is a male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of a contralto, mezzo-soprano, or (less frequently) a soprano, usually through use of falsetto, or far more rarely, modal voice. A pre-pubescent male who has this ability is called a treble. This term is usually used in the context of the classical vocal tradition, although numerous popular music artists also prefer employing falsetto.<br /><br />The tenor is a type of male singing voice and is the highest male voice within the modal register. The tenor voice (in choral music) lies between C3, the C one octave below middle C, and (A4), the A above middle C. In solo work, this range extends up to (C5), or "tenor high C." The low extreme for tenors is roughly B♭2 (two B♭s below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to two Fs above middle C (F5)<br /><br />A bass is a type of male singing voice and possesses the lowest vocal range of all voice types. According to The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, a bass is typically classified as having a range extending from around the second E below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e., E2–E4). Its comfortable range, is normally defined by the outermost lines of the bass clef.Cultural influence and individual variation create a wide variation in range and quality of bass singers.<br /><br />There are four parts in a capella harmony: bass, baritone, lead, and tenor (lowest to highest), with "tenor" referring to the highest part. The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice, corresponding roughly to the countertenor in classical music, and harmonizes above the lead, who sings the melody. The barbershop tenor range is B♭-below-middle C (B♭3) to D-above-high C (D5), though it is written an octave lower. The "lead" in barbershop music is equivalent to the normal tenor range.<br /> <br />In bluegrass music, the melody line is called the lead. Tenor is sung an interval of a third above the lead. Baritone is the fifth of the scale that has the lead as a tonic, and may be sung below the lead, or even above the lead (and the tenor), in which case it is called "high baritone."<br /> <br />Most men tend to have baritone voices and for this reason the majority of men tend to prefer singing in the bass section of a choir however, TRUE BASSES are even RARER than tenors. Some men are asked to sing tenor even if they lack the full range, and sometimes low altos are asked to sing the tenor part.<br /><br />Within choral and pop music, singers are classified into voice parts based almost solely on vocal range with little consideration for other qualities in the voice.<br /><br />You see, each voice type has its own role to make the harmony or music...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-13333060015471374542011-11-22T01:47:27.927+08:002011-11-22T01:47:27.927+08:00I totally agree with your opinion...

Junsu almost never uses his mix except for softer parts, adding his signature cracks.

I'm a fan(boy) myself and what I'm most impressed with is the combination of their voices, looks, and personality (which is why I agree they cannot be replaced easily, at least not in a decade even if SM auditioned all of Korea).<br /><br />But to be back on topic, I share similar thoughts about the vocals. I'm not too avid of a fan of Changmin, but he never fails to deliver his high notes; not much of a fan of Yunho's vocals because of less exposure, BUT at times like Bolero he has some surprisingly good results singing higher notes that he rarely ever sings due to his bass position. I of course agree with Junsu and Jae being the best. Yoochun seems on-and-off, I mean he sounded amazing a long time ago in his Foxrain (?) solo in the first Korean concert, but nowadays he seems more prone to making mistakes. Still I enjoy his voice a lot - it can do things no other member can do.Secrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579091009143438431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-40536291154863177042010-05-14T12:51:47.568+08:002010-05-14T12:51:47.568+08:00love your post!

It's not just the talent but also the intangibles their group dynamics brings to the table. <br /><br />On the whole, I agree that Jaejoong has the best voice and Junsu is the best singer. But boy is Jaejoong really making a case for himself these days. I thought during their stint at Tokyo Dome, he was the most brilliant. He just sang so effortlessly throughout the whole thing! I think he's really grown as a singer and once he ties up a few loose ends to his craft, he will definitely be the best. <br /><br />I also agree 100% that Junsu's got the ad libs down. I can't see anyone but him singing that part in "Asu wa Kuru Kara" or making that grand entrance in "Heart, Mind and Soul". <br /><br />And this is a bit of a digression, but have you seen DBSK's performance with The Gospellers at the Soul Power concert in 2007? They sang "Towani" and I just thought it was a great collab! Granted, it's messy toward the end but I think each of the Dong Bang boys really held their own. I was especially impressed with Changmin and Jaejoong. During Changmin's solo I thought he was great! And then there's this adlib Jae does in the end where his voice is so strong and mellifluous, it just sorta soars over everyone's voices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-28393713643545654702010-01-09T11:50:49.870+08:002010-01-09T11:50:49.870+08:00mcroth - Hahah.

So many idol groups out there barely have singers that match up to the DBSK boys' vocal chops. Hell, even Yunho can probably sing A LOT better than many other idol singers out there.<br /><br />And yes, Jaejoong's voice is really versatile. He can make it fit into a lot of styles like rock, trot, and RnB.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464874334631151448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-23909713766326065732010-01-05T23:04:52.626+08:002010-01-05T23:04:52.626+08:00I really love this concept of article.
