Compared with the final winner of "Jiuzhou Song Festival", many Jiuzhou listeners paid more attention to Lin Qiu. Who made Lin Qiu's songs so classic?
However, the guest singers are still breaking the news one after another, which is still attracting the attention of the melon-eating crowd!
For example, the guest singers of Miliya and Hisoka are all first-line singers in Mizhou, and they have landed in Xiazhou one after another. But the only one who surprised all the audience is the absolute OG in the Kyushu rap circle today - Johnson!
"Rapper?"
"It's impossible. The guest singers of Milia and Hisoka have been confirmed. Although a singer can invite multiple guests, rapping doesn't match their style of music?"
"Hiss..."
"It can't be Lin Qiu, right?"
"Lin Qiu wants to engage in rap?!"
"I'm going, didn't I say that the guest singer is Tang Anning? What does Lin Qiu want to do?"
"Every possibility may happen to Lin Qiu..."
……
rap music.
This should be said to be the hottest music type in the Kyushu music scene today, bar none.
According to statistics, more than 30% of the on-demand videos on all audio and video streaming platforms in Jiuzhou are rap music. Now the top B list is even more occupied by rap music. In the previous life, this was more than in the past. The world is more obvious!
In the previous life, after rock music fell from the altar, rap music went from the streets to the mainstream, ruling the music scene for several years, and there is no sign of stopping. In 2020, more than half of the top ten best-selling albums in the world were rap albums , it can be seen.
In the past life of China, the situations of rap and rock were actually similar.
The first is the core of both.
The core of rock music is to go your own way and love whoever you want!
The core of rap music is to stay true to yourself, I am the best!
There are similarities at the core.
Back to music, before the 21st century, domestic rock music ushered in its peak period of prosperity. Dou Wei's Black Panther Band, Cui Jian, Xu Wei and others were all hits.
But the problem is that Dou Wei, the leader of rock music at the time, left the Black Panthers, which greatly reduced his influence.
The situation of rap music is somewhat similar to that of rock music. Song Yueting, the genius of domestic rap music who influenced a generation of musicians, passed away due to illness at the age of only 23, leaving behind an eternal Chinese classic "Life's A Struggle". 》.
In 2004, with the song "Life's A Struggle", the late Song Yueting won the Best Lyricist Award at the 15th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. Perhaps many people have no idea about this award, but the opponent he defeated for this song that year was exactly "Dongfeng Po" is known as Jay's absolute masterpiece and pinnacle work!
When rock music was gradually replaced by pop music in China, it was actually because of the emergence of the genius Jay Chou. Even the most proud rock people have to admit this.
A leading figure is the key to a style and type of song becoming popular in a country, and the key to influencing more future generations of musicians.
Returning to rap music itself, in fact, rap music has a very big advantage over other music, and that is its inclusiveness.
In fact, it can be heard in the music styles of famous Chinese singers in the past. Many of their songs have elements of rap music integrated into them, such as Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and later generations of Deng Ziqi, and even Huahua.
The same is true for classics such as "In the Name of the Father" and "Chapter 7 of the Night", but they incorporate more elements of pop music. Just like pop rock, each region has its own unique style. Musical habits.
To be honest, the overall quality of Xiazhou's rap music is relatively poor, because Xiazhou itself does not have the culture of rap, which is the origin of black music. Applying it mechanically is like putting a duck's head on a chicken, although it can barely be installed. Down, but it looks a little uncomfortable and weird.
Looking at the development of rap music in previous generations, localization has not been very successful, but it is still close to the world's popular music.
……
Whether it is music, novels or movies, Lin Qiu will not be limited to a small area.
The three songs and three styles of the previous "Jiuzhou Song Club" were like this. Lin Qiu had thought about this from the beginning of participating in "Jiuzhou Singer".
As for this first round of singing styles, Lin Qiu's goal is to focus on the music genre that may have the widest audience today.
The song chosen is one of the most classic Grammy performances in the past.
From the four joint contributions of white rap superstar Eminem, black little queen Rihanna, Skylar Grey, and legendary rapper Dr. Dre, the absolute protagonist is Emmy Naam!
From the mashup of two classic songs "Love theway youlie" and "Ineedadoctor"!
This music scene, even on the domestic B station on the other side of the ocean, has more than 20 million plays, which is evident from the audience.
And the series of achievements created by these two songs themselves are even more exaggerated.
That's right, Lin Qiu is going to create a classic stage that is even more Grammy-worthy than the Grammy at the "Jiuzhou Song Festival"!
Let what netizens say "This year's Grammy will be held in Star City" become a reality!
For the last song, Lin Qiu chose a Chinese song.
It may be one of the Chinese music with the widest audience and the most far-reaching influence in its previous life!
……
In the blink of an eye.
"Jiuzhou Song Festival" final day! !
Because of Lin Qiu's sudden appearance, all the publicity about "Jiuzhou Song Club" reached its peak, and the "Jiuzhou Song Club" program team confirmed that Lin Qiu's singing guests were Tang Anning and the legendary rapper Johnson from Mizhou. , which caused an unprecedented sensation!
Especially in Mizhou where rap music is very popular!
Lin Qiu has never released serious rap music. This is another musical challenge for Lin Qiu! !
"Holy shit! Rap! I don't usually like to listen to this type of music. I always feel like I'm howling, but if it's Lin Qiu's, I'd like to check it out!"
"Can Lin Qiu do it?"
"Don't worry, Lin Qiu is so arrogant that he can handle a little rap music, isn't it?"
"The threshold for rap music is so low, how could Lin Qiu not be able to play well?"
"No, no, no, you are wrong. The lower the threshold for a project, the harder it is to reach the top!"
"No matter what, let's watch Lin Qiuxiu in the final!"
“I’ve been sitting in front of the TV waiting for a long time!”
"I can hear Lin Qiu sing two songs tonight!!"
The hot discussion on the Internet continues!
With Lin Qiu's current status and popularity in Xiazhou, there must be some unpopular Xiazhou rappers coming to join in the popularity, but Lin Qiu's past accomplishments and achievements in various music genres have already conquered the audience!
Rappers who are truly at the forefront of the industry know that Lin Qiu's rap music actually has a good role in promoting this music type in Xiazhou, allowing all listeners who are biased against rap to listen.
Rap music is about more than money, women and cars.
……
Lin Qiu and Johnson met before the opening of the Washington Film Festival.
At that time, Lin Qiu and Johnson had only had a few glasses of wine, and they did not expect to have a collaboration at this stage. When Lin Qiu needed a singer like this, Johnson was the first to think of him. Although they were just casual acquaintances, Johnson But he agreed without any hesitation!
Is this any reason to refuse?
Lin Qiu's three songs on the show became popular all over the country!
Johnson was going to sing the last verse of Dr. Dre, which was not too long and did not pose any difficulty to Johnson. The rehearsal went very smoothly, but Tang Anning's singing skills were put to the test.
The choruses of these two songs are extremely difficult to perform, especially live. Even Sister Tianhui and Rihanna, who have excellent singing skills, could not be said to have performed perfectly at that classic Grammy performance.
What's more, Tang Anning knows the importance of this performance. It can be said that the whole world is paying attention, which is an invisible pressure for any singing guest.
……
After a long time, the most popular Kyushu phenomenon-level music variety show "Jiuzhou Song Festival" is about to usher in the birth of the championship.
The vast audience and media team came to the outside of the Star City TV Building, watching the singers and supporting singers participating in the final enter the hall. After an intense rehearsal and final adjustments to the equipment, the audience entered the venue.
The sky gradually became dark.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Star City Satellite TV Channel.
The 14th issue of "Jiuzhou Song Festival", the final live broadcast, officially begins! !
: "Every unit is preparing, live broadcast countdown."
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"..."
"Start."
……
"Coming!"
"Holy shit!"
“So excited!”
"I can hear Lin Qiu sing two songs tonight!"
"Yes, Lin Qiu is 95% the champion. The only variable is Lin Qiu's first song. Rap music may not be widely accepted!"
"As I said before, I believe Lin Qiu, each of the previous games is more classic than the last!"
"Lin Qiu's musical aesthetic is really strong."
Musical aesthetics.
Regarding this word, if Lin Qiu heard it, he would definitely smile.
Speaking of music aesthetics, it is not his own music aesthetics, but the music aesthetics of six billion listeners in his previous life. The songs Lin Qiu selected are among the songs with the most audience in their respective fields.
Is it possible to have no musical aesthetic? !
Speaking of tonight's first performance alone, it reached the peak of ratings in ten years at the Grammys. This performance was the peak of the Grammys that year!
Before the white man Eminem appeared, Rap had always been black, carrying the world's prejudices all the way to the Presidential Hill of rap music. Eminem's experience itself is legendary enough.
As He Hua appeared on the stage and read out the rules of the finals, the audience couldn't help but feel excited!
There is nothing to say about the rules. The first round of guest singing, the second round of solo singing, and then adding the results of the 13th period, the three performances are combined to create a champion.
But at this point, who cares about the audience?
Everyone just wants to hear good songs on the show!
"Now, I announce that the finals of "Jiuzhou Song Festival" have officially begun!"
With the warm cheers of two thousand live audiences from Kyushu, this music feast finally kicked off!
"It's started, it's started! The finals have begun!"
"Who's the first one?"
"Finally here!"
"Teacher Tang!"
"Why, it's Teacher Tang again! Did Teacher Tang fall in love with the first one to sing?"
"I'll go! Did the four players discuss it among themselves this time?"
The VCR broadcast from Tang Sheng, the first scene determines the order of the finals.
What's interesting is that this time the order of the draw was all invalidated. The order of the four singers was decided upon after discussion. However, Lin Qiu's fourth final appearance was Hisoka, and Milia strongly requested it!
They all wanted to stay at the scene to watch Lin Qiu's live performance after their performance!
……
The singer invited by Tang Sheng is very familiar to the audience in Xiazhou, Teacher Luo Hong.
To be honest, when Tang Sheng first participated in the show, he thought that if he could enter the finals, he would sing a father-daughter duet with Tang Anning. But who knew that Lin Qiu would participate and directly "take away" his daughter? Tang Sheng He had no choice but to invite Luo Hong, a singer who was known as one of the "Two Heroes of Xiazhou" with him during his peak period.
However, Tang Sheng has been active in the music circle, while Teacher Luo Hong has not appeared to sing for a long time. This appearance is a huge surprise for all Xiazhou audiences!
"Luo Hong!"
"It's Luo Hong!"
"Didn't Luo Hong quit the circle? I thought Luo Hong would never appear on stage again!"
"Oh my god! My youth is back..."
"My tears are almost falling even before I sing!"
Many Xiazhou listeners, especially those of the older generation, felt their noses sore when they saw these two people in their fifties with gray hair on their temples. They felt the passage of time and could also see Tang Sheng and Luo Hong. The singer looked full of energy when he was young!
Now, two people, each holding a wheat, are sitting on the stage, as if they are telling the story of these years!
This song is the only song Luo Hong has composed in the past seven or eight years. It is called "Years". In order to participate in the "Jiuzhou Song Festival", Tang Sheng wrote a new verse and arranged it. The arrangement brought this song to the stage.
"Cut a period of time and enter the dreamland——"
"Use the years to climb over the mountains and ridges."
"The dream is gibbering, the warmth of youth."
"The last dream is neither far nor near..."
……
The moment Tang Sheng and Luo Hong's voices came out from the stage, many old audience members couldn't hold back!
Especially when they heard Luo Hong's voice, which was no longer as clear and loud as at his peak, but hoarse and now muddy, the sense of age was even more vividly displayed!
In the past seven or eight years, Luo Hong has almost stayed away from music and has not practiced his voice anymore. Therefore, in terms of the completeness of the song, it is definitely insufficient, but it perfectly fits the temperament of the song.
As soon as he spoke, the audience could tell that Luo Hong was still the same Luo Hong!
At that time, Tang Sheng was slightly suppressed by Luo Hong. The relationship between the two was not good at that time, but many years later, they met and smiled, put aside their grudges, and sang on the same stage. This feeling was really amazing. So wonderful.
No matter how they sang, at least they were smiling!
