90년대를 대표하는 발라드의 황제로 불린다. 조금 앞선 세대에 싱어송 라이터인 신승훈의 계보를 잇는다고 할 수 있다.
첫 앨범부터 대박을 터트렸고 그 이후 그는 우리나라 가요계를 주름잡는 가수의 대명사가 됐다.
투헤븐의 뮤직비디오와 얼굴 없는 가수로 크게 성공한 이후 얼굴 없는 가수들이 대부분 비주얼이 다소 약해 얼굴 공개 후 인기가 사그라드는 경우가 종종 있었으나 조성모는 그 반대였다. 그 당시 꽃미남 이란 단어가 그의 외모를 대신했을 정도로 외모 또한 노래 실력 못지않았기 때문이다. 꾀꼬리 같은 맑은 미성에 훤 칠한 외모는 그를 더욱더 높은 곳으로 올려놓았고 이것이 그에게는 악영향을 끼쳐 무엇보다 소중한 자산인 목소리를 잃게 되어 지금은 예전처럼 목소리가 나오지 않아 보는 이들로 하여금 안타까움을 자아냈다. 물론 물 들어올 때 노 젓는다는 속담이 있기는 하지만 너무나 혹사당한 그의 목은 다시 제자리를 찾지 못했다. 음악을 좋아하고 한 사람의 팬으로서 너무나 안타까운 일이었다.
이제 그가 남긴 발자취들을 감상해 보자.
그의 뮤직비디오는 단순히 음악만이 존재하지 않는다. 마치 단편 영화처럼 스토리가 있다. 이러한 영상도 함께 즐겨 보시기 바랍니다.

■조성모 Cho SungMo

He dominated the late 1990s and early 2000s, and was also a top singer in the period between H.O.T. and god, who took over the top of the music industry one after another among the first-generation idol groups.

Since his debut with his first album "To Heaven" on September 3, 1998, he has maintained a mystical concept, and after only releasing music videos starring Lee Byung-hun and Kim Ha-neul, he became a faceless singer, and on October 17, 1998, he made his first appearance on the show with Lee So-ra's proposal (99th).

Since then, the music market has been reorganized to focus on idols since Cho Sung-mo's activities, and as MP3 music sales have become dominant due to the collapse of the CD market and singers' colors are similar, there are no singers who fit the titles "Emperor" and "The Prince."

In his heyday, his beautiful voice was his trademark (half air and half sound), and it became very popular as a mournful (or even desperate) ballad song that fits his voice. Representative ballad songs include 1st album To Heaven, Immortal Love, 2nd album For Your Soul, 2.5th album Thorn Tree of Arrow Prayer, 3rd album Do you know, 4th album Goodbye My Love, 5th album Piano, if mine, 6th album Mr. Flower, 7th album Happy. Etc.

Among them, the 2.5th remake album (Title: Thorn Tree) released in 2000 sold 1.6 million copies, and the 3rd full-length album with the title track "Knowing Song" sold 400,000 copies in one day and sold 1 million copies in four days, ranking first and second in 2000 album sales. The year 2000 was the peak of the world, so it was called the year of Jo Sung-mo. In particular, considering that in 2000, popular idol groups and top singers made a comeback, including Seo Tae-ji's surprise comeback, the competition was fierce. The fifth album "Piano," which was released after changing its agency due to discord with its existing agency, GM Planning, won the MBC Top 10 Singer Song Festival Main Award and the Golden Disc Awards, and was sensational next to you, Paris' lover of Paris. Since its sixth full-length album, it has not been able to release a hit song properly so far.

His singing style, which was evaluated as his heyday, was soft and had a strong and beautiful voice, and there were many fans who preferred it, but his singing style changed from the fifth album with the agency's unreasonable schedule and the desire to change his singing style. Comparing the singing method by finding stage videos or sound sources in the second half of the year, it shows calm and restrained songs rather than explosive voices such as "Immortal Love" from the first album or "Do You Know?" from the third album. Because of this change of singing style, he became the first original singer to fail the second round, and on Saturday, Infinite Challenge, he finally confirmed his appearance after several retries to surpass the 95 karaoke machine, which also qualifies as a singer. Along with Yoon Jong-shin, a singer who misses his old voice. Instead of losing her voice, Yoon Jong-shin has gained strength in her voice, but Cho Sung-mo's case seems to have lost strength compared to her heyday. Perhaps there has been a lot of fan churns since the singing style changed. There are quite a few remaining fans who miss the voice of the past.
