One of the things I love about this duet is you know Jongdae's not holding back. He doesn't have to worry about overpowering powerhouse Liyin. Flawless performance. Seamless harmonization. These two should be each other's official duet partners.

To be honest, it's hard to judge one of these versions being better over the others... But, I guess that the Chinese version was more...emotional? Maybe because it's live, but I felt like Chen and Zhang Li Yin really connected and built a climax in the song and it was amazing x

Chen's Chinese has improved a lot

SM should treat Zhang LiYin better, her voice is just amazing! LiYin fighting!

Zhang Li Ying's voice control, technique, dynamism and vocal color are so good. She's really one of the best singers SM have. You can really hear in this song how she attacks the notes. Her voice is so powerful but she knows when to soften it to match the voice of her partner, damn, such amazing control. This basically proves how professional and how matured she is in singing. I can imagine her having duet to different type of voice because of her superb control. Really rare in SM. Too bad she's not promoted that much. Chen's voice is also awesome, definitely good for any type of songs but really shines more in ballads. :)

I love the way Zhang Yi Lcontrolled her voice to due softly with Chen, thats so professional :(( She made it even deeper and more tormenting. It is truly a duet ballad love song. Red Velvet Teacher yyyyaaannngggg

SamMagic97 she sings this way lately... i think she actually changes her way of singing in general. i agree both of them sing this duet song very well. i actually miss hearing this.

You know they're treasures when the lives sound just as good as the studio recordings.

I like when Zhang Li Yin speaks, her voice is soft then when she sings it's like woah o_o even Wang Lee Hom could not believe a voice came out of someone as young as herself back in the days & this has to be my fav. Version especially as these 2 look comfortable with each other; in an interview Chen mentioned her being a noona yet he wants to protect her like a younger sister & how they spent a lot of time together in order to perfect Chen's Chinese ^___^ ahhh so sweet this duet

The way she was looking at him, especially near the end, was heartwarming. To me, it seemed like she was smiling at him and telling him that he did well ^^ I loved this version. Chen's pronunciation sounds magnificent and Zhang Li Yin's voice is amazing

YES ZHANG LIYIN IS BACK!!! Chen is an amazing and stable vocalist, but the Chinese version really shines because of her :) Ughh she deserves to get more of her own music out. Too much talent kept under a rock for too long....

These two sounds best live, more in sync with each other and so passionate

I'm half Chinese, and seriously, I'm so proud of Chen 😊. His pronunciations were good. 👏🏻

Yup, live performance is better than the recorded one. Thumbs up! Chen Chen Chen!

중국어로 불러서 들을 때 뜻은 바로 알 수 없지만 뜻 해석 찾아보니까 가사가 정말 예쁘더라,,, 개인적으로 둘이 목소리 합이 너무 좋음

I've been following Liyin for years and despite a 5 year hiatus, she has never given up on her dreams and come back stronger and mature than ever. Such a nice performance from the two.

This version is far the best for me among the others. So happy to have discovered this talented singer as Zhang Li Yin, her voice is so powerful and it matches very well with Chen's. This song makes me have chills. Good job.

Chinese version is always with expression and the lyrics makes the song feel deeper ;)

In my opinion i think this ver is the best than other ver because chen and his partner voice blend so well

I love how they smile at each other at the end. And I thought: THIS is what a duet is about. Singing together, connecting through music. I've always been a fan of Zhang Li Yin and was super happy when I knew Chen has a duet with her. I love his voice and I love it more when it blend perfectly with hers. This is definitely my favorite version of of the three. Chenchenn you're getting better! Fighting :)

Oh my God I can't lie this is the best duet here in the SM The Ballad. They comfortable with each other. It both pleasant to look and hear. Both of them nailed the song. No one voice over power each other. They sang with damn good comfortable chemistry. And they both got the feeling of this song. They understand how to express the song. Even I'm acknowledge a big fan of Taeyeon and Jonghyun but Chen and Ri In (Li Yin) did the best here. And also Changmin and Krystal ummm you know.

Zhang Liyin singing is beautiful~ Her smile at the end, she's so happy ^^

Zhang Yi Lin is no joke man. She absolutely slayed this. I love Taeyeon but I have to give this one to Yi Lin and Chen cuz they're wonderful

장리인 목소리 진짜 좋아 뒷부분에 힘 실어서 부를때 진짜 소름❤

NO ONE SCREAMED FOR LI YIN WHEN SHE STARTED SINGING ITS OK I DID BEHIND THE SCREEN //cryING

The vocal control from Li Yin at 1:14 just kills me every time.

I recognized Chen when I clicked the video but this Zhang Li Yin... I am so impressed by her singing! Amazing!

There's no doubt vocal wise this duo outshines the other two versions. I strongly believe Chen is born to be a ballad singer and Zhang Li Yin is just amazing. she has so much control, her techniques are great and can effortlessly put so much emotions into the song.

zhangliyin's voice is so so so great!!!!!!!!

I adore how Li Yin sounds even better live, it gives the song another vibe, you can feel the sadness. And Chen.....well, I love him no words needed

LI Yin is the epidomy of perfection when she sings. OMG she has a really soft and gentle touch when she sings and not to mention she can sing with power if the song requires it. Li Yin, really love this girl. I hope this means a comeback for her this year, i really hope so. THis girl is too talented not to be.

Honestly, the only problem with her (watch Zhang Liyin's old videos) is lack of stage presence, which is VERY unfortunate. Her voice is beautiful, and I'm glad she is no longer AWOL, because I miss her a heck of a lot.

Their live is so beautiful

Zhang Li Yin is phenominal! Can't wait to hear more from her. And Chenchen

Chen is my favourite member in exom but he gets the least attention which makes me wonder. In super junior m, ELFs hate members from china and doesn't support them, why is it that Chen is form Korea and yet has the least number of fans. CHEN FIGHTING

@ttbengojoni8233

I agree with you, Chen has the least number of fans. However, it't not like what you think. In my opinion, the reason are: 1. Chen doesn't have a baby face like Luhan or Xiumin in ExoM. He has a manly face and most people (espically in Korea) like baby face idols. 2. The people who like Chen is in their 20's or mature, cause they admire his powerful voice and efforts. They have known how difficult did he experience when he choosed ExoM. 3. He can't speak Chinese. That's a problem. Luckily, he can understand now and maybe, we can wait 1 or 2 years to listen his Chinese. 4. In China, he has mature image and not usually smile but in Korea (his country), he smiles too much (>v

I don't think he's the least popular at all - just scan the crowd during their performances and it's not hard to spot a fair few Chen signs. He might not (yet) be one of the most popular members, but he's definitely not the least popular, either. I think the reason it still appears that he's not getting as much attention as some of the others is because his popularity has taken longer to build - it wasn't until Growl era that fans got to see the real bubbly & chatty Chen on Korean shows, and Miracles in December + Breath really got fans acquainted with Chen's talent (which was previously hidden). Just look at how quickly the number of Chen fansites have grown since December!

I don't understand I am ELF..and Jongdae is my bias..:D...and his popularity has risen recently so don't worry.

listening to this version again. I wish that SM would make more project for this duet. Liyin and Chen's voice are perfectly fit each other, the both of them have the same power in ballas songs. if SM would release and album of this duet, I will surely buy it without second thought. so please SM, don't waste their talent especially Liyin

I just love this version. SM, can we get more Zhang Liyin? Her vocals are amazing. I'm still kinda sad we weren't able to hear the Japanese version live :(

Putting my Jongdae bias aside, I think this is the best version. They are both power vocalist and they blend so well together. It's always good to see Zhang Li Yin, she's so amazing

I fall in love with his voice and her voice. Even through i hate sm but i am a kind of person who admit if the artists have talented

chen is so handsome when he is singing ! !

at first i didn't like this song, but now i'm in love with it, specially this ver

liyin's voice is so beautiful and chenn mann his voice kills me

Glad her voice has improved dramatically over these past 8 years. It was really flat back then and when she hit those high notes, oh goodness... Huge improvement, she sounds beautiful!

Li Yin improve her singing very much... Her voice now is more stable on stage and she changed her arias... More soft and more mature... So glad to see Li Yin standing on stage, hope SM will give her comeback as soon as possible

Really. Of the 3 language covers, this duo is the best. The best harmony and chemistry.

just watched jonghyun and taeyeon perform breath on music core livestream... omg, still i had to come here directly after to listen to chen and liyin. shinee is my #1 bias but - sorry jjong T__T - chen and liyin are just TOO amazing singing this. i feel their emotion so much more than jjong/taeyeon duet. i really hope that chen/liyin can perform breath on a korean music show just once :

chen developed his mandarin speaking skills bc he's been close with the chinese members even before debut. they grew on each other so much that jongdae even volunteered to be in exo-m

Oh my goodness Zhang Li Yin freaking killed me with the emotions portrayed in her voice. This is why she's one of my favorite soloist please SM we need more of her promotions and honestly combine that with Chen's amazing vocals they make one heck of a duet. Freaking cried so much listening to this version and even though the MV already made me cry this just add so much more emotions.

Their voices... OMG... It's so soothing. Their voices compliment each other so well. They need a full album of endless duets together

Li Yin's voice is the best in SM for female singer... You will know is her when you listen her voice, doesn't like other when you hear their voice and you don't know who is it... Her singing skill improved so much... Don't keep her any more and give her a comeback, she have such talent...

tbh i like this version better! chen's and liyin's voice compliment each other really well!

my favorite version!

i'm just really glad that chenchen is trained to sing in mandarin (he's korean of coz he can sing korean well) he gets more opportunity if can sing in different languages :) so proud of him~ i can't stop replaying this song over and over again. liyin's singing skill was already proven long time ago, just that she has been so underpromoted. i seriously get goosebumps from this version coz it's too touching!! well done jongdae+liyin!!

Comparing to his duet with Taeyeon, Chen sounds better her. I think it's because his voice is more powerful than Taeyeon while Liyin's voice is just as powerful as his. But all three of them have great voices

Their voices are a match made in heaven. Finally, a woman with a voice full enough to compliment Chen's perfectly.

This song made me fall in love with Chen even more than I already am. His voice is heaven and Liyin's voice sounds so beautiful accompanied by Chen's, jjang!

love how they are so comfortable with each other~=) So happy to see Liyin coming back better than ever and the fact that she's singing with Chen and Chen is sing with her!

Omg why haven't I seen this lady before?! She's so freaking good i hope SM has more for her in the future.

Why do I feel this version more than Korean one...She needs an album like REALLY Sm you can promote her in China of you think she can't in Korea :D

Both are so talented

I am absolutely in love with this version...Zhang Liyin's voice is simply mesmerizing and hopefully she will reach a new height in her career soon. I'm sincerely hoping that her appearance on the Chinese version of "Immortal Song" will open new doors for this amazing singer. Btw, Chen's pronunciation is spot on and honestly, how can you not love this guy?

The chemistry is real. Wow....! Amazing.

I'm like dying from all the feels! THIS IS PERFECTION! I remember when Zhang Li Yin first debuted and she was heavily criticized for her live and lack of voice control. ZLY has come a long way and she sounds AMAZING! I love their performance the most!

I like this version the best, not to say that the other versions aren't good (I'm an Aff(x)tion actually). Something about Zhang LiYin's voice...... It's just so soothing and nice... Oh SM, you should promote her more!!!!

i really like this song Chen ver. :x listen his voice,.. it's so beautiful :))))

I love Chen,his voice is strong powerful and everything good but I was thinking how lucky he is that he gets to sing with Zang Li Ying,I mean anybody would be honored to sing with a voice like hers.That said the CHN version of Breath was my favorite,followed by Japanese version.

Zhang Li Yin's smile at the end so beautiful and I'm touched bcz of this :((

chen and liyin are daebak!!!!

Other than Kyuhyun, I think Chen has now become the one Korean who can sing Mandarin with the best pronounciation to me. He has improved so much since his debut, even I can't help but feel proud for him!

If it was a normal love song I'll be 100% in agreement with your comment but the Korean song is about a couple who just broke up, they're regretting their decision, but they don't want to let the other person know so instead of saying I’m sorry or let's get back together they just breath trough the phone. Do you think a couple like that would be making eye contact and laughing, no they'll be awkward and frustrated I think that's the feeling they were trying to transmit and you can see they're effort at the end when they're trying their best to not smile and have a grim face. (Taeyeon even had to close her eyes because she laugh easily, lol that dork :P).

I don't know if the Korean and Chinese version have the same lyrics because they sometime change them but the main theme should be the same, if we analyze just base on than Taeyeon and Jonghyun version feels more natural, it feels more like a sad ending witch go very well with the lyrics.

@gigo518

Yoyo Armani I disagree. Singing with emotion doesn't necessarily mean singing with happy emotions. Chen and Liyin perfectly portrayed the emotions of heartbreak and pain while singing to each other with a feeling of yearning and regret. They broke up, and are apart, but they still look to/for each other. And really, that's the interesting part of a love ballad performed by two people, their interaction/eye-contact and exchange. If that's not shown in the performance, what's the difference between the performance and the studio version of the song? Might as well just listen to it on iTunes if there's no interaction in the performance to make it stand out in some way.

gigo518 Ok I think I didn't express myself well on my last comment I didn't say vhen and Liyin sang happily, they expressed the sadness of song very well Chen voice is the best for me it suit the song perfectly and Zhen Liyin I didn't know about her till now but she's definitely on my radar now. What I was trying to say is that compared to Taeyeon and Jonghyun version, they looked more happy (their way of acting nor their singing) when you see their performance it feel like they broke up in the heat of the moment but now that they calmed down their love for each other is stronger than the reason they broke up so they're most likely geeting back together while in the korean version even thought they haven't forgotten each other at all they haven't gotten over the reason they broke up so it feels much sadder. As to the reason why the korean version lacked so much interaction is obviously because she was having problem with her earpiece, if you've seen some of Taeyeon live performance you should know she tend to close her eyes when she's singing high notes or difficult parts but in this case she had them close almost the whole time, if you looke close you will notice she start acting weird after pressing her earpiece that mean she couldn't hear herself very well that's why she lost track of her surrounding, this of course is not an excuse as she is a professional and she should be prepared yo handled all kind of situation but even if is not an excuse, it is the reason of why she did that. Now if you watch some of Taeyeon and Jonghyun lives on inkigayo(best one) or music bank you may see why I say their version suit better the lyrics(or the korean lyrics at least) or you might not as it just a feeling I get so it doesn't mean everyone will feel as I feel. I love both version thought because they feel loke to completely different songs to me (only when watching then live).

Chen and Li Yin's versions wins over the other versions hands down! Their duet dynamics and harmonisation are amazing. And their stage presence and interaction are the best! Good job for this pair! Hope they get more duets together in the future!!!!! :)

Standing ovation and slow clapping for Chen & Zhang Li Yin's performance - it's a rare thing and truly worth applauding when artists can sound even better live than their CD recording. I'm so glad first Miracles in December and now S.M. The Ballad gave Chen a chance to show off his incredible vocals; such power, range and control, but above all truly gorgeous to listen to. Golden voice ftw!

Zhang liyin it was amazing!! really i totally fall in love from this song for her voice! but obviously chen was amazing to! but i think Liyin deserves more attention, she's an amazing singer!

I can't understand Chinese or Korean so my vote always goes for the one with the most pleasant sounding voice...and in EXO(in my opinion) that is Chen. He's voice is so easy on the ears and it was made for singing ballads. I love ballads. Li Yin was spectacular, too!!!

Definitely my favorite version. I hope Chen and Li Yin can do more work together in the future! They sound so beautiful together. :)

im speechless CHEN and LI YIN we're daebak.. they convey and express the feeling and emotions of the song perfectly.. AMAZING

Ughhh Zhang Li Yinnnn how i missed you and your voice T_T Their voices blend so perfectly, and ZLY's voice is so flawless and her vocal dynamics i can't

Woah.. I fell in love with them.. Their strong and powerful performance have such great chemistry. Kudos and bravo to ChenChen and LiYin!!

CHEN and Li Yi voice very touchingZhang Li Yi sound such like an angel ♥♥ SM keep her a long timeㅠㅠ

Their voices took me on a rollercoaster ride... filled with emotions. At first, even though I didn't understand what they were singing about I felt their story!! Chen you blow us away everytime you sing & Zhang Liyin has a beautiful voice!! Both are talented singers!! Loved it!!

Chen sings so beautifully, I love it!!!!

I love Zhang Li Yin so so muh she nailed it she owned it TATATTA tho taeyeon is my love i can't deny that this song fits Li Yin much more im in love

The connection between this two is great, this is what the Korean version needs.

ZhangLiYin is great

Zhang Li Yin so good. Great voice!!

it's been forever since this came out.... but I still think this is the duet with the best voice-harmony that sm ever released! I need them to do more songs together!

Forever Jongdae's voice will be comforting and cool

her voice makes me melted with the song since the 1st i heard this song, this is the winner out of 3 version.. their voice gave different color to this song and the touch the soul of it, hands up both of u, love them even more

His eyes and the way he is so serious and sincere really melt my heart❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ looks best in black suit

I love the rich, mature sound of Chen's voice in this performance. I want more of this tone from him in EXO's tracks. I never really hear it outside of his live performances, which is a huge shame. And, of course, Liyin always has a lovely voice, and it's a joy to hear her sing alongside my bias.

Chen & Zhang's voice click so well, amazing synchronisation.
