Chapter 22 Two European and American singers are approaching
“The live broadcast has just started, why is it the most popular search topic?”
Guo Zihao was amazed at the popularity of the show.
Xu Kong was not so surprised.
After all, with such a lineup of players, and the fact that the show is still live broadcast, it is normal for the show to be very popular.
Not to mention that this is a program on Mango Channel, so don’t be too good at marketing and publicity.
"Let's welcome the first singer on the stage"
"Avril!"
After rambling for a long time, we finally entered the formal performance session.
The first one to appear was one of the European and American singers invited by the "Singer" program team.
Avril's reputation is not low, and most domestic audiences, including Xu Kong, have heard her famous masterpieces.
"Damn it, I feel like our domestic singers may not be able to get the first place this time."
"Although Avril Lavigne's songs that are popular in China are all relatively popular, she has won many awards in Europe and the United States."
"There's no need to badmouth them. Guan Yan and Tao Zidan are both weak, so there won't be such a big gap."
Because it was a live broadcast, various comments from the audience appeared on the screen.
Not surprisingly, Avril Lavigne, who was the first to appear, sang an English song, not one of the masterpieces that domestic netizens have heard.
Xu Kong is considered an expert. Although his career as a singer in his previous life has been criticized, he can be considered to have undergone systematic training.
So as the majestic piano music played, followed by exaggerated high notes, Xu Kong knew that Avril's singing skills had indeed reached a point of exaggeration.
Moreover, the whole process was broadcast live, and there were still no obvious mistakes.
“Too stable”
I couldn't help but sigh.
With rich stage experience and shockingly stable performance, "Singer" invited the other party over this time, obviously not just to accompany him or play soy sauce.
“Now, let’s ask the one hundred media judges on site to vote”
Avril Lavigne's performance ended and the voting process soon began.
Because it was a live broadcast, the announcement of the votes was not as procrastinating as usual, and it took a long time.
"92 votes!"
"Congratulations!"
With the announcement of the votes, barrage discussions started again.
"Reasonable, almost perfect performance!"
"Holy shit, the intensity is so high, the first singer who came up got more than 90 votes?!"
“I feel like inviting Avril Lavigne and William to participate is a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow?”
Although it is just a variety show, with the participation of European and American singers, it is inevitable that most viewers will still compare domestic singers with others.
If you lose on one of your own shows, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among many netizens.
Of course, in the live broadcast format, it would be okay if you lose, but it would be even more embarrassing if you secretly manipulate the votes or something.
It can be seen from Avril Lavigne's vote count that the program team of "Singer" has no intention of engaging in such small tricks.
The second person to appear next is Guan Yan.
Before she officially started to perform on stage, the barrage was full of cheers. It was obvious that everyone had great hopes for Guan Yan.
After all, in the regular national team, with Avril Lavigne, a European and American singer, performing so well, what most people want to see is that Guan Yan's votes can exceed her opponent's.
""Sand Wind""
"Lyrics: Cao Yixian"
"Composer: Cao Yixian"
"Singing: Guan Yan"
Guan Yan did not choose her own song, but instead chose a relatively niche song.
A professional competitive stage like a singer is different from some ordinary talent shows.
Especially when it comes to song selection, there are quite a few things to consider. The difficulty of singing a song largely determines the upper limit of a singer's performance.
An ordinary love song, even if it is performed perfectly, will still not get high scores. This is the general consensus after the show "Singer" has been aired for so many seasons. "Do you think Guan Yan can get more votes than Avril Lavigne?"
Guo Zihao asked.
Xu Kong shook his head lightly.
"It's hard."
"It's not because Avril Lavigne's singing skills and stage performance are much higher than Guan Yan's."
"It's just obvious that Guan Yan is under a lot of pressure right now."
Because it was a live broadcast, Xu Kong knew from the moment Guan Yan took the stage and received some feedback from the other party's body and expression that Guan Yan, a veteran in the music industry, was a little too nervous.
As an artist who also performs on some large stages, he is very familiar with that feeling, having experienced it too many times in his previous life.
In comparison, perhaps because she didn't care about the public opinion in China, Avril was in a very relaxed state.
The more this is the case, the better you will be able to perform when singing.
This is something that can't be helped, a complete home court disadvantage.
Sure enough, before Xu Kong could finish his words, Guan Yan, who had just started singing, made a very obvious mistake.
Without post-production sound editing and editing, the risks of live broadcast are revealed at this moment.
"Did Guan Yan go out of tune just now?"
"I went back and listened again, and there was indeed a mistake."
"What a pity! Such an obvious mistake has just begun."
Even many ordinary viewers could tell that such a mistake was too fatal.
Even though Guan Yan, who was experienced on stage, adjusted almost in a short time, the result could not be changed.
“Singer Guan Yan’s final number of votes was 83!”
It was almost because of that mistake at the beginning that the vote count was directly opened by nearly ten votes.
"Why do I feel like two European and American singers are really going to take first place this time?"
"Guan Yan made a mistake, otherwise, the result would be really hard to say."
"Alas, now I can only place my hope on the other singers behind me."
Most of the audience also felt pity.
In fact, Guan Yan is quite stable in terms of song selection and stage performance. Strictly speaking, she is not inferior to Avril Lavigne's previous performance.
But if you make a mistake, there is nothing you can do. It is not easy to get more than 80 votes.
The third person to appear was the rock band Yuanhong.
What they sang was their own song, a rock song that was quite popular in China.
Compared with the previous two singers, Yuanhong Band is much less well-known.
Many viewers on the barrage clearly didn’t recognize him.
“This scene feels a bit awkward!”
“The lead singer can’t even keep up with her, the difference in vocal conditions is too big!”
"I don't like it. It feels too noisy and makes my ears hurt."
The audience showed no mercy when they trolled people. In this era, the most indispensable thing is keyboard warriors.
Of course, it was also because Yuan Hong’s scene was indeed a bit difficult to describe.
Xu Kong could tell that the lead singer had already tried his best. Such a performance could be regarded as the finale of most music festivals in China.
But on a professional stage like "Singer", defects in voice and singing skills will be infinitely magnified.
Especially since the entire process was conducted in the form of a live broadcast, it was very obvious to see that the gap between the lead singer of Yuanhong Band and the previous two seniors was too big.
There is no way, the Yuanhong Band came to participate in the "Singer" program, and they were also mentally prepared.
The purpose of playing songs is more, and it is obvious that they don't care too much about the results of the competition.
In the words of many netizens on the barrage at this time, it is a decent first-term tour level.
