  1. Hmm, I was with you until you ranked Liz above Winter. Liz strains way, way more than Winter. I mean you show her covering Aespa for crying out loud and she's several steps below compared to how Winter sings those lines. I think Winter has some tension because of the kinds of songs given to Aespa, they want her to be really loud and dramatic in every song. Maybe you think Liz is more relaxed because most Ive songs are easy and low, but the clips you picked here show her struggling a ton, she's even frequently off pitch. Maybe she has a lot of potential, but she honestly doesn't sound like a main vocal here. I'd put her at the same rank as Lia, lots of potential and good at some styles, but very poor execution most of the time.

  2. I am happy to see Liz rank top 5 on this list. I wish Starship would stop putting her vocals on the back burner of songs, I mean imagine another Liz-led song like Eleven??? I mean look at what happened to Liz in KITSCH?? There were a lot of places for her to have multiple lines but instead, they just shrugged their shoulders and gave her a bone and said "Yeah the fans would LOVE this" Yeah no. They have a Grade A main vocalist and don't utilize her talents unless it is for the complicated vocals. It's odd. Imagine if SM gave Wendy fewer lines in Red Velvet?? because that's what's happening here. Liz can't grow vocally if she isn't given the chance to. Clearly, she loves to sing so why can't Starship let her. I hope the first soloist from IVE is Liz. I hope she gets the Taeyeon treatment. I just hope what I am saying isn't deemed too controversial.

  4. When it comes to Vocals, sometimes the vocalist is great but you don't like the sound of their voice, and it's very rare to find a good vocalist whose Voice appeals to your hearing, to me IVE Liz and Everglow Sihyeon are 2 examples of those good vocalist whose Voice I like…now I can't determine who is a good vocalist but I wouldn't like the singing that's off key like unable to match the music even if the sound of the voice appeals to my hearing (like simple speech voice)…this is why I can only rate or promote singing voices that I like…so as I said Liz and Sihyeon, I never get enough of these 2 but I don't know where they stand in the skill spectrum..

  5. I know Lily is the 1# place, but my fav voice is Haewon. cuz she always fits every song she sings, and she really knows how to play with her voice. I'm always surprised because her voice is actually deep, but when she sings, her voice keeps changing😂. Sometimes her voice can be sweet, powerful, deep, and her dance is even more surprising😂 because we are only shown Haewon singing without knowing that her dance is very good, powerful, and also fluid but sharp too.

    Lily is so good too, but haewon caught my attention so much. I love them❤

  6. Highly agree with this list (I would just swap Sullyoon to #3). I honestly think NMIXX has the top 3 best vocalists of Gen 4 GG. Lily is undoubtedly the best vocalist for Gen 4. I was amazed with Haewon and Lilys cover of survivor.
