stevenstanley Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 really? idk about this i think gyuri is the main and ham is the lead? i cant diff it tbh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmoy Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 if you go by the official profile. Seungyeon is the main and Gyuri is the lead. in my understanding... main vocalist means you get a large portion of the song lyrics wise.. thats including harmonizing, ad-lib and stuff. while the Lead usually follows the main and also have bigger portion of the song.. and they usually sing louder to compensate the main vocal.. like in harmonizing part usually the lead and the main sing a bit louder than the other. but with Kara it's hard to go by the official profile since the trio GyulHamCole are really on par with each other. if you listen to their songs you wouldn't know who's main or whos's lead cuz it seems like every song has different leads and mains and thats what make Kara unique to the other girl groups.. like the others, their main usually shines.. example: T-ara - Soyeon 4Minute - Gayoon SNSD- Taeyeon After School -Raina/Jung Ah and so on... lol ill give Gyuri the edge when it comes to hitting the high notes tho.. but ill give Ham the edge when it comes to soft/smooth vocals and nicole when it comes to high pitched vocals. i hope it made sense. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenstanley Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) thanks kim! hahaha yep ive been wondering about this that trio gyulhamcole are really on par Edited December 25, 2010 by stevenstanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterTony Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 wow i dont even realise that gyuri is lead and seungyeon is main. no wonder i hear more of them than the other members. nicole does the rapping and some parts !!! WOOO! i feel sorry for jiyoung though, i dont hear her sing alot in the songs thanks kim for explaining this to a noob like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PioneerLtTwinkie Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Wooah Kimmoy's explanation was really informative lol. I didn't know that much. But that DOES seem to make sense and fit all the descriptions. All I know is that I hear Ham, Cole and Gyul the most. But it does depend on the song too. Thanks for the explanation! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmutgoreng Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 lo.. i also don't get it.. don't they just the same thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenstanley Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 don't they just the same thing?? lol no of course not! just like what kim said, Seungyeon is the main and Gyuri is the lead. but with Kara it's hard to go by the official profile since the trio GyulHamCole are really on par with each other.

lost24 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 i think its gyuri but in some songs there is ham and nicole as amain vocal ,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrT Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 For what I know, main vocal is the 1 who sing the most, as they "build" the main melody of songs, when lead vocal is the 1 who hold responsibility for all special parts (high notes in chorus for example) Though i can't see a lot of differences in Kara, all of them sing frequently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizuiroKaze13 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 ^ not THAT frequently, hara doesnt have many lines... but that's bcos she's more of a dancer than singer. but her voice is still lovely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khalkyn Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Its hard to tell because they each have a part in the song, mostly Gyuri Nicole and SY. I think main is Gyuri and lead either SY or Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddessfollower Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Kara is a group that doesn't have quite the clear cut distinction of Lead vs Main vs sub vocalist as a lot of other groups do. Usually the main vocalist can be identified as the one who does the ad libs, but since GyulHamCole all take turns doing ad libs (Ham/Cole for Mister, Gyul/Cole for Lupin, Gyul for Wanna) it doesn't really matter. Nicole's labeled just a 'vocalist' but she's actually been doing more ad libs than the other members. Waiting for Jing to join the crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimmie Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I can distinguish the two terms vaguely now lol but those roles aint clearly defined in Kara cos they keep switching it to suitably match to different songs. This is another point I like about Kara's songs, everyone deserves equal spotlights on stage. I like the fact that Jing is given more chances lately as well.

suzanis Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 i agree! GyulHamCole are the core vocalists of the group. i think depending on the song and melody, the three of them take turn being lead or main vocals. Although Nicole is officially the group's rapper, i think many fans prefer her to sing than rap coz on many ocassions, Cole has shown that she can sing very well especially songs that need strong vocals -- look at their cover of Adult Ceremony. Whereas Gyuri seems to handle high notes pretty well and SY rarely fail to impress with her melodious solo parts. Jiyoung has also been recently assigned more lines and with more training and experience, she will join her unnies too Kara is a group that doesn't have quite the clear cut distinction of Lead vs Main vs sub vocalist as a lot of other groups do.
