SG Wannabe's Kim Jin Ho performs Timeless with Davichi

Besides the earlier Tell Me special stage by 4minute, there was another by SG Wannabe's Kim Jin Ho and Davichi on the 2nd July episode of MNET M! Countdown.

In a special segment titled We are the Family (both SG Wannabe and Davichi are under MNET Media), they did a cover of Timeless, the original english version by Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. Most would be familiar with the Korean version of Timeless by Zhang Liyin and DBSK's Xiah Junsu. But I am guessing that Jin Ho and Davichi did the cover of Timeless in english because they didn't want to get permission from SM Entertainment for the Korean version as they still can't see eye to eye on some things. It was a beautiful performance by the 3 vocalists, minus the exaggerated mannerisms of Jin Ho.

Jin Ho and Davichi have great voices, but I wish they had gone all out because it sounds weird to me…and I’ve heard the Junsu and Li Yin’s live, and I stil like their version better.

JRI’s singing is too low and fragile, just not up to par with Davichi lah.
Junsu and Jinho, idn, Jinho always exagerates but Junsu’s voice is a bit too feminine.

So I vote for Davichi and Jinho.
You have to see them sing live to judge. And when they sing live, JRI did nothing other than dragging the perf down. The high notes = flat lah.

MNet version is too rushed. They cut a good 45 secs. You have to watch the 4-4:15 min version on YDH love letter (with good sound system) to appreciate Davichi’s voice. (In the MNet’s one, Jinho sound a bit flat too, but he’s better @ Love Letter perf).

Timeless is so boring

I actually voted for the singing this time. I liked the Korean version better. To me it just sounds better than the others. Although maybe if the English versions had recorded the song in a studio and had an amazing MV with it, it might have been better than the Korean one.

I still think Zhang Li Yin and Junsu did it the best! I don’t really like the original english version.. dunno why.

The live peformance i saw on zhang li yin timeless with xiah was pretty awful.

She wasnt ready and was very nervous.

So for the comp to be fair. U have to show all vids of them either singing LIVE. or MV Recorded. Not both.

 
kuihkoci's avatar

hmmm… can i make my own pair….. junsu and kelly clarkson… that would be nice….^^
anyways… it was still a good performance from jinho and davichi

idk who the guy is, but this is nice :]

There’s no doubt about it, Junsu & Li Yin’s version is so much better. However, Liyin isn’t that great when performing live. Changmin does it better than her ^^

Junsu, hwaiting~!

kelly sounds as if someone is about to force her to eat some lemon or something. A bit high…

I don’t like the song, be it english or korean. But I have to say that out of them 3, Junsu and JRI sing the worst. Their perfs sound like a joke. JRI keeps on craking and cracking, nothing like the edited recorded studio version.

live singing = davichi + kelly the best. The rest (Guarini whatever, Junsu, Jinho and JRI) are simply the… rest.

MV = of course timeless korean version.

Xiah and Liyin’s version. I also think it was a tad bit unfair because there was a video to watch compared to live version where it’s ultimately just a battle of the voices. Somehow.. I think most ppl would say Xiah and Liyin’s was best also because of the video. I’d like to hear them live and make my final decision then.

im seeing this in an unbiased pov (siwon does not effect me in any way. LOL!) overall performance, jang ri in and junsu. their voices are compatible. with kelly clarkson and justin guarini, justin guarini was a little incosistent. and for davicihi and kim jin ho. .i think hae ri’s voice was more compatible with the song compared to han min kyung’s. idk why. o__o i think bcs it somehow reminded me a little of jang ri in’s version.

 
no avatar

i wanna see Junsu and Davichi <3 <3 <3
well, jang ri in’s live performances are wayyyy better now. IMO probably better than min kyung. hae ri is just WOW 0_0 and never really like jinho, i prefer the new member much more than him. voted for junsu and jang ri in simply because theirs leave the most impression for me =) but all of them are AWESOME. at least in KPop we still have these guys xD

JRI is better than MK? lol no way. The last time I’ve seen her on tv (china tv), she’s still sound hoarse and unstable.

Idn about the boys (JinHo and Junsu) but about the girls, davichi > JRI anyday of the week. Kelly sing in her mother tongue so it’s a tad bit unfair to make a comparison. I think a lot of people are waiting for Junsu and Davichi duet.

ugh, this gave me goosebumps. >____<
the harmony between the three is amazing.
it would have been a million times better if they sang it in Korean… ;o;

@banana is here: you should check Junsu’s singing Timeless live. I really like the performance. Davichi sounds amazing as always. I’m not fair to compare a performance to MV, since there might be edit and all that stuff.
Should check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vx3dG7zelU, or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b91LCMK6zg4 <—where you can hear the voices clearly, although Ri In is struggling at the very end.

Davichi covered the english version of Timeless like last year or something. I forget who they sang it with, but they have sang it before.

I have to vote for the Junsu+Li Yin version though.

 
sweetless.skye's avatar

amazing vocals. im liking both versions for this song

 
humorFool's avatar

It is a great song. But I don’t think Jin Ho sang it well, he added to much “uhmf”.

 
xyukikox's avatar

I like Zhang Liyin and Xiah Junsu’s version coz Junsu’s voice has this unique quality in it….. =)

 
Daikirai's avatar

I didn’t realize Davichi’s vocals were that strong.  They’re great singers.. and of course, SG Wannabe.. you can’t compare.  Two great singing groups put together.. I like it :]

No one like Timeless korean version b/c of JRI’s voice lol (even it’s HER debut song, not Junsu’s). All people likes it just b/c Junsu haha

Davichi pawns at live singing. These girls are amazing. I often see them on music show like 1000 songs chalenge / Song Battle ... and they sing others’ songs. I really really love HeaRi singing of Fixing My Make by Wax, it’s simply just stunning!!!!!

 
squ!shy's avatar

the song Timeless in general is such a beautiful song that hearing it again makes me fall in love with it all over again~ all of the performances are beautiful but Junsu’s voice just makes me smile to no end ^___^

If they could mix and match it would be perfect.

Junsu/Kelly combo would be the best.

 
Eltoshen's avatar

Lee Haeri is so awesome in her cover.  I voted for them.

And this is with Junsu bias.  I just hate LiYin’s voice, rofl.

 
BBSHINKI's avatar

Zhang Liyin and Xiah Junsu PWNS. <3

 
Eltoshen's avatar

Oyeah, the MV was better though, since I could watch sexy Siwon.  It took me a few seconds before I realized it was him.
