I'm not sure how to emphasis this especially for us non-korean speakers, but IU sings with so much clarity, with proper enunciation but without losing the emotion. There's just a handful of her songs that are sung differently like BBI BBI.

Actually IU was suffering from rhinitis during this Killing voice shoot. She still slayed the performance even when she is suffering through it.

She doesn't have the ultra-high volume that Diva should have, The reason why she is loved all over the world, including Korea, is because of her excellent sensitivity to move people's emotions through her lyrical voice and songs. Sometimes it should be rated higher in terms of art than in singing skills.

That's very true, no matter how good you get at singing skills, if you're singing without soul, or trying to impress people with your singing skills, it's just an incomplete performance that's easily forgettable, the emotion you convey will stick to the listener for a long time if not forever. IU understand the song she's performing, that's why she's able to make changes to her songs and able to elevate emotions, it's better when you understand the lyric and the choice she made in her singing, such as the beginning of Through the Night, she begin with using her talking voice to get a more intimate feeling, because it is a really intimate song that the listener (lover in the story) can listen to her heart.

For me, Through the night is a song to sing like you are whispering since IU wrote this song to wish people to have a better sleep or rest. Since she suffers from insomnia. She engulfs all her love to a wish of sleep well, so she technically lulling you to sleep

they mentioned something about he she's singing the songs of her 20s so i'm assuming they're reading the subtitiles, despite not showing any in this video.

IU is an experience singer, but what makes her exceptional and beloved by Korean are her public image in Korea, and her attention to detail in her music. Putting IU's public image aside, her talent in creating expressive music and understand how to craft them for her listeners are what a true artist should be. Talking only about IU's singing skill doesn't do her justice, any skilled singer can sing her songs, but not every singer can perform her music and create the level of sensation IU was capable of.

​@@Hotcheetos777the pronunciation and way she says the words in lyrics has its own feel too and when i listen to others even Korean singer covering her song it seems foreign people singing or not that level and always feel lacking. There is "IU element" in all her songs that makes it unique

IU was actually sick when she recorded this dingo killing voice..

Finally! It was really nice to hear what you both have to say about IU's voice. She was actually sick while recording this Killing Voice, maybe some of the things you pointed out could be because of this reason. But she has a really stable and unique voice, would love if you react to more IU :)

Something that should be pointed out to a lot of vocal coaches reacting to Korean singers is that Korean is definitively a breathy language, with heavy aspirations built into certain consonants and speech patterns. Korean pop music kind of favors singers with breathy or even raspy voices (maybe as a result of language influencing culture preferences), and its usually a stylistic choice even if perceived as imperfect technique by western standards.

I’d love for yall to hear IU sing ‘My Sea’!

One of the reasons why IU songs are really popular is because she is a great songwriter, her lyrics are based on her experiences and state of mind.. and general public relates to them a lot.. Can't wait for part 2! Please react to move IU content!

IU Killing Voice. Maybe we are one step closer to seeing a Teayeon reaction.

two or three things : 1.that list of songs is special, bcs they are VERY well known song in S.Korea, like "people's song". Especially Friday, Meaning of You, Through The Night, and Autumn Morning. Palette and 23 are the song ppl listen on their bday on 23/ 25 years old. Blueming, Through The Night, Lilac are awards winning songs ... In short, its a golden list, even non-fans in S.Korea will know them. 2.IU is an example of real "idol" in japan/ korea music industry. Japan - S.Kor idol's definitions are a bit different, in Japan people love the sincerity and effort more, so as long as they are lil bit cute, but have a endearing persona and potential, people will love them. In S.Korea people/ fans give more emphasize to "skill". Idol need to have better skill to debut, to dance, to sing etc. IU is somewhere in the middle of that concept, she has that sweet spot of being "perfectly imperfect" and "imperfectly perfect" entertainer, and has that sincere - lovely personality since the start of her career. 3.IU is a hardworking artist. She has a career on music, songwriting, actress, model, and MC (at least). Its a miracle we still see her active now, its a miracle she still works so hard right now. In this setting, she's not on her 100% bcs she got a bit of flu/ rhinitis (her voice is a bit different), and she's on a very busy schedule. In short, she's not an exclusive singer - "singer", and yes, maybe this is not an excuse, but I think seeing iu is like seeing how much you can push your limit as a celebrity/ entertainer. She doesnt need to try this hard, actually she already beyond success since 2017 maybe? She can retire in 2017 and still considered a legend in industry ... This back to my point no.2 above : she's idol/ artist and there are so much context behind her "performance" and fans seeing her as an "existence" and "memory". Ofc, I understand you are music/ vocal teacher and you video is indeed abt this VERY moment in Killing voice, but I just want to add those context(s) :) Anyway, thank you :)

Taeyon Killing voice is a chef kiss everyone

Love that you're finding all the unique ways she owns her vocals. I think her singing is deceptively simple, it makes it easy to appreciate when you just want a lighthearted listen but still carries so much depth when you listen closely. Can't wait for part 2! ♥️

@ChaseandMelia

Sam she's been such a pleasant surprise and for sure a new favorite of ours! Her singing is definitely simple but so intentional!

Please do react to Taeyeon and Ailee's Killing Voice as well!! T-T And I think these two (Taeyeon & Ailee) will give you two a different perspective of how different IU sings from the way Taeyeon and Ailee sings, as Taeyeon and Ailee are such powerful vocalists and yet more like pop classical where they use their head voice without going into a whispery territory unlike IU. You're very much right in the sense that IU does a lot of these very stylistic whisper-singing in a lot of her songs, she's a very stylistic singer due to the type of songs she often composes and writes, which aim to speak to an audience intimately hehe : Like, for example, 밤편지, which was written to be almost like a diary exploring how love would truly be like or what defines love. She does all these very introspective songs, and speaks a lot to herself and her audience, which is probably why she chose the very stylistic way of singing

Wanna hear insane vocals !! Teayeon and hyolyn Killing voice ❤ 👇

I love your analysis of her use of consonants & vowels, and her use of breathiness. It is not just style though. You can tell songs with her own lyrics because the sounds she choose form an element of the music in themselves - they'll be flowing or rhythmic, hard or breathy as appropriate. But, even more important, she chooses them always to express the emotion/ideas she wants to put across. It's never accidental or for show.

Thank you for doing an honest review for IU's Killing Voice. I love how to explain her vocal techniques. Honestly, she's well loved in South Korea, and other parts of the world too. The reason why we love to listen to her is that, you don't need to know the lyrics translation for you to feel her songs. She will deliver the emotion 1000000% -- and like a warm embrace in a cold night, you'll know that she's there, knowing your emotions in a totally distant way possible, but also hearing and listening to your life sentiments. She has never missed a chance to make her UAENA's (IU's fan's club name) feel loved, and heard. I am personally been saved by her music every time I am feeling lonely. But when I listen to her, all I know is that I have someone who is willing to encourage me to keep going, and that life will get better if I hold on a little more. I've watched her concert when she goes on her Asia Tour in the Philippines -- I literally cried countless times because listening to her singing live is a dream come true. Thank you for reading until here.

I think u guys misunderstood what IU was saying when she said she was awkward. I'm sure for someone like IU who has sell out concerts every single day... she has the confidence to sing for her audience no matter how she felt that day... What she meant was singing songs which she wrote in her early twenties; about her early twenties, when she was approaching her 30s that was awkward.

I’ve been waiting for this since the last IU video you posted! I recommend you to check out her My Sea performance from her concert The Golden Hour. It was a fantastic performance, and My Sea is one of the best IU songs that showcases the true potential of her vocal range and abilities.

When I think of IU I don‘t think of her as a singer first and foremost. I think of her as a storyteller. She writes her own songs and she uses music and singing as her medium but it‘s all to convey a story. And to me her singing reflects that. It feels like listening to a story. It‘s not „look at me and my belly high note“, it‘s more subtle and she not at all trying to be this type of singer from what I can tell. I believe that’s what makes her endearing and different to listen to than other artists :) Her stories and her singing feel relatable.

I love IU's voice because its nice to take a break from all the extra virbrato sometimes, her voice is very refreshing to here, to me she is the embodiment of spring ❤

as a uaena (IU's fandom) who witness her live back in 2019, she is just absolutely amazing 🥰🥰 you will love her ❤ thank you for this ❤

IU was sick with rhinitis, thus her nasally voice. She has many type of voice/style and she developed her breathy style of singing because she wanted to differentiate from other singers in order to stand out. As you noticed she sings high notes effortlessly which you can see her sing Good Day with the signature triple high notes. That was the song that propelled her to the top.

@getem7640

She was sick yes, but her voice is nasally regardless. As for the Good Day part, it was not “effortless” as you say, considering she had to stop performing it because it was ruining her voice. She could not sustainably continue singing that song, to the point where her doctors even advised her to stop singing it.

Wow, amazing IU killing voice. Great analysis ! Looking forward to part 2.

I enjoyed your review. Thank you. Surprisingly, her vocalization and tone were achieved through practice. She said that her original style was very different in some interviews. If you listen to her debut song Mia(lost child, missing child) in 2008, you can see the difference. she was a gemstone but she put a lot of effort into it herself.

I love how you guys communicate, it reflects so much of your connection! ❤

You have no idea how happy I am that you guys did a reaction to IU on Killing Voice. I put it on daily cause it's just so good! Have been on a binge watch of all your videos and really enjoying the learning journey 🥰

IU is really the queen of kpop, she is so talented and also produces her own songs. Her vocal skills may not be the best ( even though also very very good x10) , but definitely make the audience want to keep replaying the song. Its very pleasant voice to hear.

i love watching these videos because even though i don't necessarily want to become a singer, i love knowing all of the things that professionals do, so thank you so much for explaining everything!

I would love to see your reaction to Taeyeon and G-IDLE Killing Voices as well if you ever find the time!

Her music shows that she thinks a lot about her life, the past, ages are important and like her songs are something she does to remember times.

YES! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! I'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! also for some context, IU was sick with a little bit of cold :") but she still KILLED it. Also, there's subtitles in english! It would be great to see context! :D

Queen of vocals

IU wrote most of her songs, and she said in an interview once that she've chosen the words (on her lyrics) carefully according to the meaning and the sounds too. So I think that's why you said that her pronounciation/enunciation skills is up there. She knows fully her vocal and how it sounded and utilize it fully along with her songwriting skills. I think it's one of her advantages as a singer-songwriter. Btw thank you so much for the insight and breakdown. Always love your reaction ❤

😍 You did it!! Covering one of my fav artist IU 💜 Love how u guys immediately noticed the interesting way she enunciates her word/phrasing. Because it's not just the difference in the language, shes still very much rounding/curving her pronunciation so it's very cool Chase picked up on it and Melia expanded on it without uguys knowing the Korean language. Cant wait for part II looking forward to it!!

Killing voice Taeyeon version, you re going to love it 😊

Thanks for all of your singing insights. I like the way you offer little teaching moments for the audience rather than criticisms of the singing. I did want to say the the whisper-singing is definitely a style choice. I've heard other idols call it the 50% air voice, and I think it was popularized by a singer in one of the previous kpop generations.

A few of her songs are interconnected, she does talk to herself. Past questions of songs get answered in future lyrics like a decade later. Shes a big fan of time travel and multiverse/dimensions. She adds those concepts in lyrics and MV

18:53 incredible vocal on that beautiful song. Leaves me speechless every time I hear it.

She is a living legend.

taeyeon's killing voice please🥺

IU IS THE QUEEN OF KPOP. She's a singer song-writer and mostly famous for her diverse genres, (especially korean music from the 80s and 90s), and emotions as well as very ambiguous, poetic lyricism. Also, she wasn't feeling awkward singing a song she wrote in her 20s I think because of the language barrier you guys perhaps misunderstood the atmosphere. It was more just nervousness of starting, I believe. She was the one who made Killing Voice very famous and after her, more famous artists started to appear in the show.

In terms of sustainability i can totally see what you guys mean with that hiss of air being there often. she has had 8 concert tours so far in her career where the longest had 13 shows. Her concerts are really long. The last concert she had called the golden hour under the orange sun lasted for 3hours and 30 minutes. she performed around 30 songs on that concert wich is a normal amount of songs for her shows. she once in one of her pallette interviews that she does not strain her voice while singing. anw loved you video and thanks so much for reacting to this queen.

Might be fun to check out the songs “Through The Night” and “Palette” again. I’m slighty biased as that are my favorite songs or hers tho😂 The whispy, airy voice she has is basically what she’s known for, but i would be interested to see if the huskyness(?) in her voice is the same as in Killing Voice in a different performance of hers

I'm only two third into the vid so i might end up eating my words, but hey, it sounds like you guys came in with expectations of popular singer = powerful explosive voice. Thats why you guys kept mentioning about "waiting for something to happen". She's popular in korea and in the kpop community not becos of the common western type of scream-shout voice. Her voice is great, her pronunciation is smth older folks love to praise, but most importantly it's the person she is. She's famously a very kind person and well liked not just by fans but also by the industry. Her songs' lyrics touch hearts of many. She has built a good reputation throughout this more than 10years of career. She tops charts not becos she sounds like adele or someone else, but becos of who she is - IU.
