DBSK5, TVXQ as a duo vs JYJ's music
Why I prefer TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin)'s music to JYJ's is for the most part related to their voices and how they fit and mould (or don't) together.
While many a Cassiopea will probably think this analysis expresses personal bias, I honestly assure you that I have tried to be objective as possible. Hence my explanation in detail as to why I have ( Read more... )
I'm not a musician to begin with, so in term of musicality, my leaning is mostly due to genre tht one group has given so far. And that will be TVXQ..
I agree Yunho and Changmin's voice in some part of their songs hard to differentiate, because their voices blends together perfectly. Yunho might take bass voice in his previous group, but I think his voice actually has higher pitch than that... :x So blending Yunho & Changmin's voices would be much easier compare to Jaechunsu, though many people said JCS's has the most perfect combination, but yeah have to agree with you that Chun's voice seems out of place compare to Su & Jae...
I also try to heard "Bolero" carefully this time to prove your theory & I have to say, your theory is make sense, I cant say its correct perfectly coz I'm no musician who have right to justify. From what I notice most of Chun's part will be followed by Yunho's & vice versa. Chun & Yunho's voice match,beside their voice texture, maybe because they both use nasal voice whn singing (hear jyj's empty... Chun's nasal voice can be heard clearly). Then Yunho's will be followed by Changmin's. While Changmin's has no problem adjusting w/ Su & Jae's. Well actually I have to say, Changmin has the most flexible voice that can match well with the others. But yes, looking from his voice texture, Changmin's has more common to Yunho & Junsu. Not only one song, I also try to listen "Insa", and once again... the same pattern happen... =)
And for my leaning, in term of musicality, I like SMP's songs better than ballads. I know DBSK5 ballads are the best, but SMP songs is the cherry of every performance! They dance & sing in the same time. It ll make concert/live performance less boring than just standing & singing. SMP is TVXQ's signature. As long as they still able to do it, I want TVXQ keep their style. No other group who can dance crazily like TVXQ but still maintain great voice! Only TVXQ can do it :) And another thing important is stage's charisma of Yunho & Changmin that suck me into them. Jaechunsu's style of music also good, especially thy hav great voice & talent in composing. But I must say that they're lack of originality, maybe its their step to be great musicians, however, wht makes ppl get into K-POP in th beginning? Its K-POP's distinction compare to other type of music. JCS's music is more likely to be westernized IMO... which is then, their music does not rly appeal to me :x
Nevertheless, in the end of the day, I think its not the matter how their voice overlap each other perfectly, but its more to how their voice & musicality to your taste. Plus, where your biased singer is... xD
