SNSD: Taeyeon Aims For Solo Debut In First Half Of 2015 

#SNSD: Taeyeon Aims For Solo Debut In First Half Of 2015

For the past few months, the talent agency successfully set the Korean music scene abuzz through their artistes that made their debuts as solo singers. These solo singers have received much recognition from the public and have changed perceptions towards their singing abilities.

After years of performing as a member of Girls’ Generation and its subunit TaeTiSeo, Taeyeon is finally getting a chance to shine solo on stage as well. In fact, she will be the first Girls’ Generation’s member to debut as a solo singer.

Best known for her stunning singing abilities, Taeyeon is said to be in the midst of preparing for her solo album. According to Korean media outlet Sports Donga, the vocalist aims to make her solo debut in the first half of the year and is currently recording songs to be included in the album.

SM Entertainment has yet to release an official statement but if the report is true, Taeyeon will be the latest SM artiste to debut as a solo singer after SHINee’s Taemin and Jonghyun, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, as well as Super Junior-M’s Henry and Zhoumi. f(x)’s Amber is also expected to release a solo album in the coming week.

Similar to Amber, Taeyeon’s solo debut is highly anticipated as she is one of the most powerful vocalists in the group. While performing as part of TaeTiSeo, she received rave reviews from the public through the release of various drama OSTs.

Do you think Taeyeon will be the first member to make a solo debut? Who do you think should debut as a solo singer too? Share your thoughts in the comments box below.

Jessica! I honestly think that Jessica has more potential as a solo artist. The fact that she is now an ex-member, had the most unique voice in the group and her ability to sing flatulently in English give her the edge over Taeyeon. I also think Jessica’s voice is well suited to pop music, where as Taeyeon’s is more suited to ballads and older styles of music.

Ha ha, ex-member, yes. Most unique voice in the group and her ability to sing flatulently in English giving her the edge over Taeyeon, uuummm, no. Everyone can hear Jessica has a little accent when she’s singing. Taeyeon just has a slightly bigger one and it’s only over a few words. Besides, Taeyeon can pull off almost anything.

Thanks for the spell check (obviously I wasn’t paying attention when I used my web browsers built in spell checker). I think Taeyeon will obviously do well in Korea as a solo artist but Jessica has the real potential to do well not only across Asia but also in English peaking markets, with her ability to not only sing in English but also promote in English.

I think Taeyeon has been pigeon holed into mostly Ballads as a solo artist, but I am keen to see what other types of music she tackles. I still defy your idea that Taeyeon has a voice that is suited to pop songs as well as Jessica (this is not a criticism of Taeyeon’s singing ability). I honestly not sure what type of songs best suit Taeyeon’s voice (beyond ballads). I think the kind of music they did as TTS best suited Tiffany.

Also I’ve spoken English all my life and I don’t hear any accent from Jessica most English speaking people don’t sound the same and I have no trouble understanding what Jessica says in English. Taeyeon is great at singing in English but not perfect, not as good as Seohyun, Tiffany and Jessica.

I’d much rather see Sica solo debut. Sica appeals to the Chinese and Americans more.

Come on SM, promote Sica, Taeyeon is already in TaeTiSeo.
