Lee Siyeon of Dreamcatcher.
Obviously, there's her voice. Siyeon has a
ridiculous vocal range, able to reach whistle notes that make my eyes water, while still having a gorgeous tone in her lower range, and she's also got the ability to tap some raw power to belt it out when she wants to.
But it's not just what her voice is
capable of. She has a real skill in knowing
what to use, and
when to use it. No spending most of the time at the top of her range for her; she'll save her real extremes for when they're going to be most effective. When she's singing with others, she finds the best way to compliment them while still making time to shine herself.
And there's also so much she does that you don't even notice. While as main vocal, she takes point and slays for a decent chunk of the time, she also lays down a lot of barely perceptible backing harmonies that add that extra punch to the final recording. Check out
this little Twitter thread, where someone managed to isolate some of her hidden vocals...
Her stage presence, and formidable dancing skills, and she's not even in the main dance line.
She's also a pretty wicked rapper; even though we haven't really heard it employed on record, she has done it on her own time in vlogs and Vlives, and I have no doubt it'll be coming to a CD near us at some point. And I for one can't wait...
Repeat the above comment, but replace all references of rapping with playing the piano.
Most beautiful thing that ever lived.
The duality. When she's performing, she's all game face and killer smoulders. When she's not, she's a
total crackhead.
And on that note, her sense of humour. I would
love to spend ten minutes in her brain just to see where it goes.
I first fell for her when she was draping gummy snakes on her face while telling InSomnia not to play with our food.
Her inability to stand and laugh at the same time.
