Any KPOP singers with powerful vocals?

Mamamoo Solar

Have you tried SM groups for example EXO?

Quote from zixzix

So I’ve noticed that I can’t really find any kpop idols that overwhelm me with their vocals

and there’s hardly any live songs without any backing tracks I can hardly hear their live voices with that shit

I think there is one called Hawsa or Hwasa I think - I love her voice, she’s the only once I’ve found with an actual incredible voice in the kpop industry (unless I’ve confused her name with someone else haha)

But is there anyone else I can listen to?

I’m talking to the levels of Lady Gaga, Whitney, Rihanna, Mariah, Celine, Ariana, Miley, Jessie J, Christina, etc

Like really really powerful vocals that they manage to belt out without any limitations

Pls send some recommendations!

If you want new kpop idols so if YG don't mess and you give them time, I feel like Treasure vocal could go somewhere (mostly Yedam and Jeongwoo)

SNSD - Taeyeon

Mamamoo - Solar, Wheein, Hwasa, Moonbyul (although she mainly raps)

Red Velvet - Wendy, Seulgi

GFriend - Yuju

I think Onew of SHINee

I'll give you my favourite vocalist

Male: Chen from EXO, his vocal range is no joke, if I were him I'd never shut up

Here's his personal channel if you want to check him out

Honourable mentions: Baekhyun, DO, 10 cm

Female: Ailee hands down

Just check this for yourself you won't regret it

Honourable mentions: Solar, Hwasa, Wheein, queen Taeyeon and Wendy

2021 and I still CAN'T BELIEVE Kihyun still is ignored as one of the best vocals ever of 3rd gen.

kpop idols being wowed by Kihyun's vocals

When they manage to shook even Hyolyn and K.will as a trainee, u know they're doing something right

Even imagine dragons gave him a shout out for this magnificent cover

Also, listen to this classic clip

If you're looking for powerful female belters like the solo artists you mentioned, they're actually mostly found in Korean music genres outside of Kpop dance music. It's better to find them on multi-genre singing shows like Immortal Songs 2 or maybe Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook. Here's a selection:

Sohyang at the very top. (She's not technically part of the Kpop industry, since she's primarily a Christian Contemporary Music artist who just occasionally takes part in singing pop songs)

Then there's a secondary tier of strong young singers from various other genres, such as Son Seungyeon (primarily R&B):

ALi (primarily soul):

Song So Hee (primarily gugak - Korean traditional music):

And of course, old reliable veterans like Seo Moon Tak (primarily rock):

Among K-pop specifically, the current best girl group for vocals is MAMAMOO (comprising of members Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein and Hwasa):

There are also strong female solo artists such as Ailee and Hyorin:

Most of the main vocalists for SM's girl groups are good too: Bada, Dana, Taeyeon, Luna, Wendy

Others include EXID's Solji, Davichi's Lee Haeri and Kang Minkyung, Bestie's U.ji, SeeYa's Kim Yeon Ji, and the Brown Eyed Girls (who I like to call the MAMAMOO of the 2nd generation).

powerful vocals? low backing track? live performances? try shinee. specifically jonghyun and onew. i'd argue taemin as well.

i'll just leave you with this lol

bonus:

Powerful vocals?

Actually 2nd gen has a lot of powerful vocals.

It has Ailee, Hyorin, F(x) Luna, Davichi, Taeyeon, Eunji, T-ara Soyeon, T-ara Eunjung and etc.

Apink Eunji

Pentagon's Jinho and Hui

N.Flying's Yoo Hweseung

Hyolyn

Ailee

Mamamoo have good vocals. Purple kiss also but they are a rookie group. Sohyang isn't really kpop but she is an amazing singer. Also Son Seung-yeon!

Sohyang:

Purple Kiss:

son seung yeon

Solji from EXID:

There are powerful singers in pretty much all SM groups

Quote from icyruios

I mean if your criteria is to be on the level of Mariah, the answer is no one

Just promote your faves, who cares?

Jung kook have best voice for me

Jongho

Yes there are

Baekhyun and chen didn't eat the industry up one year into their career for you to ask this question in 2021 smh

Exos vocal has got one of the most powerful vocals in kpop. Quite masculine too whew

Baekhyun's voice especially ofc

Kyuhyun's vocals are the most powerful I've heard in kpop
