Top 10 EXO Members with the Best Voice
My favorite singer in EXO is undeniably D.O. (he makes you feel, y'know), but Chen definitely deserves the top spot. While his singing might not have as much clear emotion as, say, Suho's or D.O.'s, he has improved a lot recently emotion-wise. I don't think that being able to hit high notes is why Chen should deserve the top spot on this list (although he would definitely be at the top if that was the case too). In fact, he earned my vote because he has a clarity of voice that Baekhyun comes quite close to but hasn't quite gotten yet. Chen is just an amazing singer who can do unbelievable things with his voice, so props to him.
D.O.'s voice was what attracted me to him and EXO. Hearing his *baby girl* verse in Call Me Baby made me realize how much I missed in the K-pop world. I had only listened to girl K-pop groups in the past year! His smooth pronunciation of both English and Spanish is also highly commendable. I bet he even did some research to understand what his verses meant. That's why when he sang For Life in English, I felt real emotion coming from his voice. Even for Sabor A Mi, though I'm not Spanish or learning the language, his rolling R's were really good!
How he juggles his singing, dancing, and acting career (which won him awards, by the way) also remains a mystery. Hope he gets his well-deserved solo album soon! Keep up the amazing work, D.O.!
Baekhyun's voice makes me feel the purpose behind why he's singing. His voice is the one I want to hear echoing through my head as I'm riding down the highway in the heat of the day. It's the voice I want to listen to while basking in sunlight. Listen, I don't mean to go too deep about what this man's voice makes me feel, and don't get me wrong, D.O. and Chen are two of my biases, but...
While D.O.'s voice is absolutely beautiful, riffs and runs are undeniably common. Nonetheless, his voice still makes me feel things. Also, while Chen's voice is very powerful and his amount of control cannot be contested, and although he is undeniably the best vocalist in EXO, Baekhyun is a better singer. His voice will unravel you, cover you, and keep you warm.
Again, I'm sorry about this rant, y'all. I just feel something, I guess.
Kim Jun-myeon was born on May 22, 1991. Known professionally as Suho, he is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member and the leader of the South Korean boy group EXO and its sub-unit group called EXO-K. I give 4th place to Suho, although many would say it's Luhan. I just really like the uniqueness and purity of Suho's voice. There's really nothing like it (at least in EXO). He doesn't get as many chances to show off his voice, but he stands out in Overdose and the rest of the Overdose album. He does a really nice job!
Although I think Baekhyun is the best singer overall, I really want to praise my bias, Suho! He has a very soft and calming voice that is just lovely to listen to, and I think he really doesn't get enough opportunities to showcase his abilities. He's an extremely underrated vocalist, in my opinion.
Chanyeol's voice surprised me so much when I first listened to it. I had assumed that he was another talentless rapper, and though his vocals cannot compare to Chen, Baekhyun, D.O., or even many K-pop main vocals in general, as a rapper, his vocals are definitely above average. He can sing well, and I think the most important part of his vocal talent is his musicianship, being able to play so many instruments.
Yes, Chanyeol is a rapper. No, best voice doesn't necessarily mean a strong singing voice. However, Chanyeol can sing too! Chanyeol is the best rapper in EXO and really knows how to keep to the rhythm while showing off his versatile and deep voice. He is also a good, pretty strong singer.
I can't believe Minseok is so low. His voice is very underrated. He's probably the best singer in the group after the three mains (Chen, D.O., and Baekhyun). I'm glad he has been getting more solos lately because it used to frustrate me that he was ignored.
Xiumin isn't given nearly as many lines as he deserves nor credit for his singing ability. He has a strong voice, but it isn't as unique or charismatic as his fellow members, which is probably why he is a sub-vocalist/rapper.
Xiumin has such a rich, honey-like voice, which sounds so nice. I cannot imagine why he doesn't get to sing as much.
Lu Han is a Chinese singer and actor. He was a member, known as Luhan, of the South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO and its sub-group EXO-M, before leaving the group in October 2014. Luhan has a really good voice. He is highly praised for his voice full of color. Perhaps EXO had no opportunity to show how high he could come in a matter of notes, but in his movie "Back to 20," he sings "Love Moving Forward," which reaches what would be his highest note. His voice often sounds very soft, sweet, and angelic, but it can easily show how strong it can be. Luhan, fighting!
Luhan has a really unique voice, in my opinion. In songs like History and What is Love, his voice sounds quite strong and powerful. But he also sings in a very pure and soft way in ballads like Miracles in December and Moonlight. In terms of vocal skills, I think the cover he did for Lost Stars by Adam Levine really showcased his voice range and stability.
Zhang Yixing, better known as Lay, is a Chinese singer-songwriter, record producer, author, dancer, and actor. He easily carries melody and emotion and can express it to some extent, though not as well as Baekhyun can. His voice range is smaller than the vocalists, but since he is the main dancer of EXO-M, and the second-best dancer in EXO, he is not as good at singing.
Lay is a pretty strong singer who has a very sweet voice. His voice fits with most songs and he does well with every line he's given. While he's not a main or lead vocalist, he's still a very talented singer.
What the hell? Yixing needs to be up there with Suho and Luhan. Have you heard his mini album? His vocals are so strong and beautiful. He is seriously underrated, even by fans. SMH.
Oh Se-hun, better known mononymously as Sehun, is a South Korean dancer, rapper, singer, model and actor. He is a member of the South Korean-Chinese boy group Exo and its sub-group Exo-K. Sehun, to me, is underrated for his talent as an amazing dancer, cute and sexy, and a great singer and rapper!
Sehun may be quiet and not have many singing lines, but his dancing is great!
Kai has a unique voice that is quite decently strong. Although he is a rapper, he showcases his voice well in raps and also with his singing lines. When he sings, it sounds deep yet also a bit airy. I don't quite know how to explain it, but if you listen to him sing, you would know.
His voice always makes me happy. It's so beautiful!
Wu Kris Yifan, professionally known as Kris Wu or Kris, is a Chinese actor, singer, and model. He is a former member of South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its subgroup EXO-M under S.M. Entertainment. I think Kris was the best rapper. In songs like Overdose, his voice, being harsh but clear, best suits the song. That's why the rapper part (in the Chinese version) of Overdose is my favorite part.
I believe Tao is the best rapper in EXO-M. He has a unique, tough voice that is perfect for his raps. He can also soften up his voice a bit to fit with the mood of the song.
Tao is a very good singer. He puts emotions into songs really well, and his rap is the best I have ever heard. You can love all his songs because they are all so good, and he has a very special voice.
I think Tao is the best rapper in the whole EXO. Besides, he is a very good martial artist too. I think he is a great singer too. His voice is soft and mellow when he sings. I think he must be in rank 6.
