When singing together; •D.O & Chen - Chen does higher register •Baek & Chen- Both may use higher register but Chen will do the highest notes. He may be most likely able to use the lower register in his solos.

    I strongly disagree with those that say D.O. second guesses himself. Watch any of the exoplanet concerts and specifically watch them perform the same song in different venues - he is actually the one who is most sure of his voice because during live performances he is constantly switching up his ad libs and runs. He is always giving us something new and different from studio version, something interesting to look forward to. An artist can only do that if they are confident in their ability and if they have great musicality. To those who say D.O. can “push more” or “ show off more,” it’s not because he is unsure, to me it is a deliberate choice. You can ruin the vibe of a song and make it sound crowded and unpleasant if you have too many crazy belting, adlibbing and riffing done on top of each other. They’re not contestants on a singing show - they are artists choosing to sing in a certain way to play pff of each other and to play off the vibe of the song and the performance as a whole. The fact that D.O. doesnt go crazy on every single line even though we know he can is a deliberate artistic choice. He can make even the “unexciting“ parts of the song sound absolutely beautiful and soft, the amount of control he has is insane. And even just a beautiful little adlib in any bridge section from him adds so much flavor to the whole song. You cant have three singers popping off all at the same time, thats not what makes a good song and they all understand that. You can see from the recently released Cream Soda Recording Behind the Scenes just how much power and volume D.O. has in comparison to everybody else, and just how full and beautiful he sings the Cream Soda line, much cleaner and fuller sounding than Chen and Baekhyun in my opinion. He was even casually humming Baek’s adlib part during the recording and it sounded so freaking agile and easy and natural compared to how Baek sang it. I love Baekhyun and Chen, too I hate when people say things like this about D.O. Just because he doesnt pop off on the vocals all the time does not mean he is unsure or lazy or doesnt try harder. It means this is how he thinks he will sound best for the song, that is his art.

Don't get me wrong people definitely talk about EXO's vocals all the time but I think in combination with their killer choreography and unique concepts people don't talk about just how rare having vocals like EXO is in kpop.

    Right!!! I haven’t been a fan THAT long 😭 about 5 years now (wow I didn’t even know that long). Baekhyun is my ultimate bias in kpop and music in general no matter the language for the same reason. His emotions feel amazing to me, but in this video with the three of them, and the whole group in general, they’re amazing. If someone told me to pick my favorite I’d obviously say Baekhyun but if someone told me to pick the best vocalist I’d start sweating bullets (based on the fact that I can tell who can sing and who can’t not actual technique). The entire group has amazing singers. On the opposite end Chanyeol is another favorite of mine. Xiumin and Suho can sing very well, Kai has such a calming voice and so does sehun. They all sing so well. I love how this video doesn’t bash any of them and actually shows their strong suits and shows that they are very strong vocalists overall. I can’t tell techniques and correct vocab but I do get what he means with their voices and I love this video

    I love exo as a whole but chen's voice seriously makes a huge difference in their songs, there's a significant difference between DFTF album and their other albums for me bc chen wasn't in that era. his voice is absolutely incredible and my favorite in all of kpop both male and female. hearing his voice in the new album gives me so much joy, words can't describe how much I've missed hearing him in EXO songs.

    Yes!!! Thank you for finally reacting to them! Baekhyun is my favorite vocalist too, his emotion level is unmatched. DO and Chen touch my soul too, their skill, talent and hard work for all these years are undeniable, but when Baekhyun does his thing, i can start crying just getting lost in the emotions in his voice, also, his voice tone is my favorite in the vocal line. I wish one day you make a video about the rest of EXO members. They all compliment each other so well and create layers in the vocal part as well as in the music. Suho and Xiumin played in musicals and their theatre vocals are so good. And the baritones of the group who are usually used in a combination with tenors add so much dimension and depth to the overall sound.

And he talked about how he was lenient in not taking care of his vocal chords, but how he couldn't take time off, because they had more than 10 concerts in 1 month. For about four years he can be heard singing a slightly harsh high note. but now he's fine and as a fan it was painful to hear that his precious voice was damaged by over exploitation

    For “exols” fighting about spots, Chen always come first, his technique, vocal range and more is outstanding, meanwhile BaekHyun and KyungSoo are in the same level, also these categories: lower register, mixed register, vocal agility and upper register. Chen is amazing but his vocal agility and upper register are in third and second place among the three, while his lower register and mixed register are first among the three. BaekHyun has an amazing upper register and he ranks first in that but his mixed register, low register and vocal agility he ranks in second and third place among the three. KyungSoo has a perfect vocal agility and he ranks first on that, while his upper register, mixed register and low register he ranks second and third among the three. Chen among the three ranks first because what I wrote here. BaekHyun and KyungSoo are tied in second and it basically depends on the vocal coach, preferences of fans, and the type of music. All three of them are exceptional vocalists among all kpop, so please don’t start useless fights about who’s better and who deserves the spot more, also stop being childish and trying to humiliate any of the three because you think your fav is better than them.

I am esp a huge fan of his lower range and his dynamics. He’s amazing when it comes to make people absorb the meaning of his songs. Just an overall great singer. Barkhyun, Kyungsoo and EXO R&B ballad brought me into EXO. They’re great singers in their own right and I really really love their tones. Together, these three make such a great vocal line.
