I thought Davichi could sing

Davichi KBS Music Bank 2008

Some of you may disagree with me, but Davichi's cover of Brown Eyes' song "Kajima Kajima (Don't leave, Don't leave)," at the KBS Music Bank end of year special was pretty awful. I mean, I might've given these girls a round of applause if they were drunk at the local Karaoke bar. But we're talking about professional singers here. Wait, what am I saying, this is K-Pop, which pretty much is the equivalent of a drunken episode of Karaoke night.

I'm sorry girls, but serenading any guy with this shit, will make them do exactly the opposite of what you're trying to preach. Unless you are like me last night, in which I would be encouraging you to sing more, with your shirt off, minus the mic.



Now here's a nice cover of the song by VOS:

well i wouldn’t say it was horrible… it was okay but they’re high notes were a lil off

no, that’s not how it’s supposed to be sung.  it was off key and off pitch.  with that said, seeya can sing, these girls not so much.

It sounds great >.< People sing differently, if people did not put there own originality into a song it would just be the same thing over and over again.

I don’t get it. It wasn’t horrible. It pretty much sounded like the original track with Brown Eyes. I think its the high keys that they attempted to sing threw them off a little. Otherwise they sounded…....like any other Kpop artists. Vos did a great job at singing this song! eheh.

I don’t know the song and I don’t care to look it up, so whatever. XD
Maybe they sang in a different key to accomodate to their own vocal range ability? Lol, I don’t know what I’m talking about…

 
no avatar

hmm. i’m usually pretty critical of singers, but i actually thought that was pretty good.  they don’t have quite the range necessary to truly nail the song, but they did okay…maybe i’m going deaf^^

are you kidding? lee hae ri is one of the best kpop singers in my opinion. she can hit power and soft ballads like none other. i wish more people would listen to their album “AMARANTH”..

Come on people, just because they are Davichi does not mean that every performance of theirs is good. I actually agree with Johnny (gasp), this performance was not that great. They can definately sing, but this performance just did NOT sound good.

 
no avatar

what’s wrong with you johnny. it was good. it wasn’t bad minus that one earsplitting high note. i’m still recovering.

 
sherrvonnx3's avatar

it was cool at th beggining. then later…....

 
lucky#13's avatar

you don’t know music if u don’t think that was good. that was a great cover!

 
no avatar

Yeah.. i agree with chubbs and johnny. I really enjoy Davichi’s music, and while the performance wasnt AS bad as it could have been, it really wasnt that good. I’m kind of disappointed, because I do think Davichi can sing, but their high notes were waay off here, and their singing wasn’t entirely on pitch. I guess this just isn’t the song for them, but im still a fan~ haha

And also, off topic, I love your posts johnny haha. Even if a bit [okay a lot xP] “womanizing” as someone said, they never fail to make my day xD

it wasn’t as bad as you made it out to be. but for the first time ever i’m agreeing with you manwhore.  the V.O.S version was definitely better however, they can sing.

 
no avatar

it was ok…i think the harmonizing was a bit off & the high note was totally off.  VOS performed this song a lot better.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ipGyD3Ypc

ahh i like the VOS ver, but the original by brown eyes is near and dear to my heart…maybe cuz my boyfriend sent me this song before we started dating…

 
hapacalgirl's avatar

There harmonizing was off and this is definitely not one of their best performances but it doesn’t change the fact that Davichi are amazing singers.  VOS did an amazing job though, why cant there be more singers like them in kpop.

^GOOD please get your ears checked because you are either deaf or a complete idiot

 
travp16's avatar

Ok this is not bad, although I do like the VOS version way more.

 
Ayreia's avatar

Okay, so the performance wasn’t that great, but regardless, they can still sing. Bad choice of a song for their vocal ranges, though :|I’m pretty critical myself, but I wouldn’t say they were /awful/.

 
stevewonder06's avatar

it wasnt terrible it just wasn’t that good. it could have been better. especially when they tried to hit that really high note at 2:27-2:30. that needs practice lol. I still think they can sing though.

oh but VOS omg! they are so good! hahaha. they even did the falsetto better than the Davichi GIRLS. lol.

Davichi wasn’t bad, they were just off a little. VOS was just amazing as usual. keep it up guys!

 
stephchan86's avatar

i cannot understand the vocals of korean female singers. most of the girl groups, they quite have the same vocals. davichi and seeya sound pretty much the same to me. even brown eyed girls, snsd and wonder girls, just the melodies of the songs are different. the male singers actually have their own voices but not the female ones. is that how most of korean girls are supposed to sound? cuz i sometimes go to karaoke with my korean friends and the girls sound like that. they sound more crying than singing =.= not the clear voice kind but the “whining” kind. that’s just my opinion.

the high notes were a bit akward…and slightly overdone? And I really didn’t like the chick on the left’s nail polish but I usually hate red nail polish in general. Especially if it’s on nails that that don’t cover up all the fleshy part…o.o other than that it didn’t kill me. But it wasn’t good enough to make me want to follow them or anything.

V.O.S sing it like the original version. Davichi sing a female rearranged version. So of course it will sound weird with the first listen since you heard the unexpected part.

This is a song for a boygroup. It’s too low for their range. So of course they have to edit the pitch of the song to fit female vocal.

V.O.S is a trio—-> their harmonization will sound much better. One key singer, the other two will do the background music.
Davichi is a duo—-> It’s not as layered as V.O.S but still it’s pretty darn good.

About falsetto (or however it spells), Lee Haeri usually hit her high notes with POWER, not through falsetto. And Park Ji Hoon alway use falsetto for his high notes. So all i can say is this song is not the best song out there for them.

Davichi jjang, whatever the haters say…

(And i thought you never think these girls could sing. I remember the last article you wrote is how ugly they are @ their Sad promise period. Quit telling lies and illusioning)

IMO, Davichi is overrated for their voices.  They’re good, butnot that good.  However their fame is not overrated, it’s just what it’d be.

If their fame is just right for that kind of voices then WG, SNSD is really REALLY REALLY overrated.
Listen to this if you think they can’t sing:

im disagreeing with you
the song note is low for them
their voice is great!
its just the song doesn’t suit them
So yea..this is not their best performance
But its not because they cant sing
Basically, i prefer you change the title to a better one…
Saying they cant sing is not appropriate thing when there are not lots of K-artist(female) that can sing great live like them

I’d have to agree with a lot of the comments, this isn’t so bad. The high notes were pretty messy, but their singing was pretty good throughout. However…

Jeebus, talk about a bunch of overreacting, butthurt Davichi fans. Everyone’s acknowledged their singing talent, they’ve won a big award, etc etc etc. No one’s saying they CAN’T SING, Johnny’s just saying this one performance is bad. Even if you disagree, there’s no need to get your panties in a knot; it’s called a difference of opinion.

Euhm… Like everyone before me said, this sounded almost exactly like the original…

@mauuuuuuiiii
You missed my point, well I think. I didn’t bash the girls. From what I heard Davichi is a vocal duo, that’s why I said their fame is just about right for what they’re praised of.  But yes I don’t think they’re that good for vocal groups. They sounds like most MNET artists to me. WG deserves their fames, but we all know that it’s not because of their voices but the songs, the stage charisma, and the JYP.  SNSD has their own good points, although one of them is a voice, but also other qualities such as cuteness, dancing routine, etc.
