Chapter 231 "Bridge of Tears"
"Not as good as Xu Kong's "LastDance"..."
Fat Bird almost said nonsense that didn't mean much.
Because no one thinks that Shen Chengyu's song can compare with Xu Kong's "Last Dance".
But almost everyone can hear that most of Shen Chengyu's new songs are inspired by Xu Kong.
Including the arrangement, melody, and even the lyrics, they are very similar.
Although he didn't write the song himself, when the songwriter was composing it, Fat Bird felt like he was listening to "Last Dance" to write the song.
Of course, this does not mean that Shen Chengyu’s new song is plagiarized.
It's just similar in style.
Moreover, the other party had previously performed a cover of "Last Dance", and the deep smoky voice was indeed very suitable for this slightly bold pop rock type.
But Fat Bird just felt that it was not as good as Xu Kong's voice characteristics, which he even deliberately changed.
To be precise, it really doesn’t taste like that.
And in comparison, Xu Kong's entire state really seemed much more relaxed.
The resulting typhoon and the effect are much better than Shen Chengyu.
……
"83 votes?"
However, when the real-time voting results came out, Fat Bird was still stunned for a moment.
Although this song is not that amazing, it doesn’t have such a low score, right?
"It seems that the media review was still affected by Xu Kong's "Last Dacne"."
There was no way around it. Xu Kong's song had already spread widely, and among the hundreds of media judges at the scene, there was almost no one who had never heard of it.
In this regard, people will definitely subconsciously compare the two songs and the performances of Xu Kong and Shen Chengyu.
As a result, although she sang a new song of fairly good quality, and her live performance did not make any big mistakes, she still ranked at the bottom among the four current singers in terms of votes.
When he saw the vote count, Shen Chengyu's face didn't look good either.
……
He admitted that he was indeed opportunistic.
The popularity and popularity of Xu Kong's previous song made people feel envious.
Even though more than a year has passed, the song still appears frequently on various hot lists.
But what he didn't understand was why it was so popular when Xu Kong sang it, even though it was a type of song, but when it came to himself, he got the lowest number of votes in the show.
Under such entanglement, Shen Chengyu walked off the stage.
Jian Junfang, who had been waiting in the waiting area, sighed helplessly at this time.
Obviously, Shen Chengyu is still too young.
Although he is no longer a newcomer, it is obvious that there is not much way to predict the domestic music market and audience preferences.
The most important thing is that Xu Kong can be regarded as the pioneer of this slightly wild pop rock. Since he has chosen a similar style, he can also move closer to Xu Kong's new songs.
You have to be mentally prepared to be compared to others and to be naturally disgusted.
……
Jian Junfang sang a cover of Xu Kong's song this time.
The song "Our Song" with the same name on last year's show.
As one of the most well-known R&B singers in China, it is certainly not difficult to sing songs of the same type.
And the reason why he chose to sing this song was because he heard that Xu Kong was going to play in this episode, so he chose it specifically.
Long before Xu Kong arrived in Star City, he had already communicated with Xu Kong.
Of course, Xu Kong didn't have much reason to object, so he simply agreed.
Compared with traditional pop songs, R&B songs are indeed more suitable for covers and adaptations.
Because there are many parts in it, on the contrary, it is necessary to pay attention to the on-the-spot performance, so as to have better on-site effects.
Compared with the two juniors in the music industry, Jian Junfang's state is much more relaxed.
It doesn’t feel like competing at all, but rather enjoying the live performance.
As for the final number of votes, it came directly to 90 votes, the second highest number of votes in the audience.
……
Fat birds are also a little difficult to stretch.
The main reason is that Xu Kong, as the kick-off singer in this issue, was arranged to perform in the last performance.
But even before he appeared, he already showed a presence beyond imagination.
Whether Lan Shu and Shen Chengyu sang new songs in this episode because of Xu Kong, or Shen Chengyu imitated Xu Kong's songs in terms of genre, or Jian Junfang, the king of singers, even directly chose to cover Xu Kong's songs.
In all aspects, Xu Kong, a star-studded singer who is the youngest among all the singers and has the shortest debut time, has become the protagonist of this show.
Regarding Xu Kong, the youngest singer in the music industry, although he is highly recognized among the audience.
But from time to time, there will be news among his peers that they disdain him.
But when they actually competed on the same stage, the real reactions of their peers directly proved the importance they attached to Xu Kong.
It seemed like Lan Shu didn't approve, but in his heart he still took Xu Kong seriously.
……
The final appearance is another singer Songjie.
It's just that he even paddles harder than Jian Junfang.
I chose an old song of my own. Although I re-arranged it, there are some differences in the details.
But overall it seems a bit lackluster.
The only thing worthy of praise is probably that the scene is still incredibly stable.
Even though it was a live broadcast, there were still no big mistakes.
Although it is not exactly the same as the studio version, it still shows off its strong singing skills and live performances.
In the end, it received 89 votes and is currently tied for third place with another European and American singer.
In other words, if Xu Kong wants to successfully compete in the gym this time, he must get at least 90 votes.
It can be seen that the average number of votes from the guests in this issue has increased more than a little compared to the previous time.
In the previous episodes of the program, although the highest number of votes was also around 90, the lowest number was estimated to be 60 or 70.
But in this issue, even Shen Chengyu, who currently has the lowest number of votes, still got 80 votes.
Even the two domestic singing kings, who seem to be somewhat Buddhist, were affected to a certain extent by this program, and their performance was more stable than before.
……
When Xu Kong appeared on the stage, the audience's reaction was the biggest.
There is no way, the popularity and traffic are there.
Maybe his status and age are not as good as those of these seniors in the music industry.
But now Xu Kong, even if he does not actively appear in the public eye, is still hotly searched for various things from time to time.
This kind of treatment is far from unique in China, but it is also relatively rare.
The most important thing is that after Xu Kong transformed and began to try not to develop like a traffic idol in the past, the number of passerby fans now is almost one of the artists with the highest number in domestic entertainment.
Popularity is a very mysterious thing. Even though some celebrities deliberately market their personalities and work hard, they still make ordinary netizens feel disgusted.
Like Xu Kong, he almost didn't pay too much attention to these later, but the number of passers-by continued to increase.
Among them, several well-received and popular dramas certainly played a considerable role.
On the other hand, it was also crucial that Zhu Yu asked him to intentionally reduce his advertising and exposure.
This allows Xu Kong to have a sense of presence from time to time, but it will not cause public boredom because it appears too frequently.
……
Soon, with Xu Kong's gesture, the scene gradually became quiet.
After all, "Singer" is still a relatively formal stage.
Xu Kong didn't say much, and just nodded towards the band behind him.
As the rhythmic piano prelude sounded.
At this time, the song information appeared on the live screen.
""Bridge of Tears""
"Singing: Xu Kong"
"Lyrics: Xu Kong" "Composer: Xu Kong"
……
It’s indeed a new song!
Although it has been expected for a long time.
But when he saw the new song title, Fat Bird was still very excited.
After all, although Xu Kong is said to be as prolific as a sow, it has to be said that due to filming, Xu Kong's current singing speed is indeed slower than last year.
Although he had written an entire album for Su Zhi before, his own songs can be traced back to the soundtrack and interludes in "The Long Season".
"I don't care about your heart, my kiss"
"Tired of my debt"
"In place of the one you love"
……
When Xu Kong opened his mouth, Fat Bird suddenly trembled.
Is it the same singing style as the previous "LastDance"?
Not only that, even the styles of the songs themselves are very similar.
Even so, it can be felt that this new song itself is more lyrical.
In terms of music style and rhythm, it is not as strong as the previous "LastDance".
But the only thing that makes people feel superior is still the voice characteristics and atmosphere that Xu Kong deliberately created.
"The sweet shots actually fell down like falling flowers"
"From then on, my life turned into dust"
Xu Kong's state seemed very relaxed.
And compared to the past, it is easier for Xu Kong to drive the atmosphere at the scene.
When you and your work are recognized by the audience, even a new song that has not been released before can still quickly immerse the audience into the atmosphere of the song itself.
……
"Is Xu Kong performing this show as his own?"
"I'm so excited. I like the song "LastDance" very much, but I didn't expect it to be another song with a similar style this time."
"Xu Kong's temperament as a singer is becoming more and more obvious now. He feels that his control of the stage is no less than that of the two veteran singers Jian Junfang and Song Jie in front of him!"
At this time, most of the knowledgeable buddies in Fat Bird's live broadcast room began to make their own comments.
Of course, it's not like Shen Chengyu who had the same style before, almost always imitating Xu Kong.
When it comes to Xu Kong himself, there are almost all kinds of praise visible to the naked eye.
Apart from this, the most discussed thing is probably Xu Kong's progress in singing and live performance.
Xu Kong doesn't take on various performances frequently, but for some reason, he can see his opponent's progress every time he performs in public.
It was as if these stage experiences were engraved in Xu Kong’s bones.
……
When it came to the chorus, Xu Kong's mood and tone began to rise.
"It's like standing on a bridge under the scorching sun"
"Tears ran wildly and fell on my face"
Fat Bird's biggest feeling is that Xu Kong at this time is compared with before.
It is obvious that the whole person's style and temperament are more at ease.
Even on a stage like "Singer", he still performed quite confidently.
He attributed this aspect to Xu Kong's current rise in status.
Today, Xu Kong seems to no longer need particularly big recognition.
Whether it's movies, TV shows or my own music, it has already been proven, so naturally there will be no more psychological burden.
……
But if Xu Kong knew that Fat Bird had analyzed so many things, he would probably be speechless.
In fact, his mentality has not changed much from when he participated in "Our Song" before.
At most, I have become more accustomed to my body, and I have begun to develop some of my own tricks and methods in terms of performance.
As for the relaxed state.
He was originally invited by Wu Youxue to participate in "Singer". Let alone becoming the champion, he didn't expect to gain anything by participating in this show.
Naturally, there is no burden at all.
So just sing your own song.
……
"La la la la la la la la la"
Finally, with Xu Kong's humming, the whole song came to an end.
"There is no suspense in the first place."
Fat Bird gave his prediction very calmly.
There is no way, although it seems that the competition in this issue of "Singer" is very intense, and the average number of votes is much higher than in the previous issues.
But if you really compare it with Xu Kong.
Regardless of the quality of the three new songs on this episode, or Xu Kong's live performance and stage performance, it is difficult to say that there is any rival.
The one with the highest score currently is Lan Shu, who appeared first, with 91 votes.
But although the other party's original new song was good, in terms of quality, Fat Bird felt that it was definitely not as good as Xu Kong's "Bridge of Tears".
In addition, in terms of live performance, compared to singing skills or live performance, it seems that Lan Shu, a powerful singer, has the advantage, but he is still not as good as Xu Kong.
Even though Xu Kong is almost ten years younger than the other person, he debuted so many years later.
But this kind of thing is true.
Especially the live broadcast method will directly amplify the singer's various small mistakes.
Lan Shu's performance can find some flaws, but Xu Kong's performance does not. It can be said that it is stable with almost no mistakes.
As for the possibility of failure in kicking the gym, Fat Bird never thought about it.
No one would think that if Xu Kong participated as a kick-off singer, he would fail in the kick-off and be eliminated in the first round.
……
"The number of votes for Xu Kong is..."
"94 votes!"
Although the host deliberately tried to sell it off, because it was a live broadcast, there were not so many edits and shots to whet the audience's appetite.
The results of the votes came out soon.
"Congratulations to singer Xu Kong, this time he successfully kicked off the gym!"
"As for Teacher Shen Chengyu, it may be regretful to say goodbye to our stage..."
This episode of "Singer" finally ended with such an unexpected result.
It is almost a certainty that Xu Kong can successfully play in the gym.
Whether it is based on Xu Kong's own personal strength, the "Singer" program team, or Mango's own program data.
It is unlikely that Xu Kong will actually participate in a kick-off tournament and then be eliminated.
However, there was still a lot of discussion before the show started as to whether it could get the first place.
Now it seems that the faction that Fat Bird believes that Xu Kong can take first place has won.
……
It was only when the live broadcast of "Singer" ended and he saw the audience's reminder that Fat Bird suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the time when Su Zhi's concert in Shanghai started.
It was already over at this time.
This time a new song from the album has been released.
When he saw the title of the song in the live video of the concert that was exposed, Fat Bird was also stunned.
""Bridge of Tears"?"
“It’s actually the same song that Xu Kong participated in “Singer”?”
"Songs of this style don't seem to match Su Zhi!"
