This is a difficult song especially if Korean is not your 1st language.
He did a good job anyway but not that impressive, i agree that among the 4 of them Ken and Vanness have a great voice because I think this kind of song is not for his voice. He is amazing with rnb and hip hop.
this song is one of the harder ones to sing in korean. I however can sing it better than him. At least thats what my korean friends say and im not even korean.
but after all..i guess he did great...the fact that doesn't speak korean..however..i believe..the pitch is a little bit lower from the original..or he just did his own version of this song..
Wow.... This song is hard song to sing.... Wow. Vanness is awesome~~~~ 김범수의 노래 힘든노래인데 넘 잘 부렀네요.... 오건호 넘 멋진 재능많은 가수네요~~~ 한번 콘서트에서 보고싶네요~~~~ I love Vanness....
DBSK's version, they were just fooling around.. They were just being cute babies. You can't blame them for being cute as always now.. SS501's version, was good too.. But Vaness did ok. Give him credit. I mean, he's good for someone who doesn't even sing in Korean, right? Plus, he got a sexy body anyway.. Hahaha!!
he was okay, but he rushed the parts that are suppose to be stretched out haha if that makes sense, and he didnt have any emotion in it, i agree i like the original better, his voice is okay though
I think it's fine he sang it in a lower key, 'cause it's better than not hitting the higher notes, while trying.. And it's also a damn tough song to sing!! xb
He's definitely a lot better, than I thought, and he did a nice job on this :)
he sang it in such a low key. BUT. it was a good idea. he sang it well...its MUCH better than someone that cant reach the high notes attempting to sing it at kbs's key.
is this at YHD's Love letter show? the stage looks like it. but yea, wow vanness' voice sounds so good! from a non-korean speaker's standpoint, he sounds pretty good! yay, go vanness! never thought that he would be singing a song in a different language!
you say he doesn't do the song justice. you try and sing in a language you don't know and pronounce each word correctly. Since I know both languges I can appreciate how hard he must have worked at it to pronounce it so good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im not talking about his pronunciation, im talking about his voice. He doesnt have the same range and power that KBS sings. His vocal range was not fit for this song, and im chinese so there is no racial bias here. I just like the Korean version better, which was a better fit for that singer.
Seriously speaking, it's not really that hard to learn a song of a foreign language if you put your mind into it... I suppose that's what Vanness did... He's a great singer anyway
Vaness was born in the States, I think California. He debuted in F4 (A Taiwanese boy-band) and speaks perfect English and Mandarin. Then later on he collaborated with KangTa (from disbanded group H.O.T) for SM I believe. SO! This explains his korean. They have an album out and so Vanness learned some Korean while Ahn Chil Hyun learned some Mandarin, ooooookay?
Vanness is not even chinese..he is american!!he grew up in the US and his chinise was pretty bad before..i agree the original is better..so i think vanness did a great job..
Of course no one sings perfectly, but how can you compare this performance to Kim Bum Soo's live performances??? Vanness does the song fairly good but nowhere near as good as Kim Bum Soo.
Oh ok, I read it as a direct criticism. You should check them out. Just do a search for Kim Bum Soo Bo Go Ship Da. Perfect is a bad word, but basically every performance I have watched is very consistant.
lol alot of people are a bit to judgemental dont u think? hes chinese not korean!!(at least i dont think so) of course its not gonna be as good as the orignal its like me singing in spanish(im chinese) geez give the guy ALOT more credit. kim bum soo is korean so of course his is better.being able to go up and sing in a dif language i give the guy maddd creidt fer that lol
It was sort of like a "Korean Idol" audition...not bad, but when you're trying to follow an act like Kim Bum Soo...well, it's difficult. And you could tell how nervous he was through his voice--it was either too soft or blaring, and a little pitchy. But that's not to say I don't commend him for a nice try!
ok.... he done a good job! Well done, Vanness! But still I prefer Kim Bum Soo version because the original always the best no matter what... but Vannes! You're rock!
amiee17...i totally agree with you. especially when you're learning the language yourself. you all try to sing in a different dialect n see how good you are. Vanness did great!
Vanness Wu isn't Chinese. He's from Taiwan making him Taiwanese. If he was Chinese he would be from Mainland China or Hong Kong (if they still call themselves Chinese). His Bogoshipda version is pretty good, but Kim Bum Soo is obviously better.
^i think he can speak and understand enough of it to get by. well, he's good enough to memorize an entire korean song plus he's doing a collaboration with kangta [the single is called "scandal"]
Vannes Wu! you're Awesome!! where's the three guys?
