Chapter 292 Do you like it? I’m embarrassed to expose it
“Xu Kong’s voice for winning the championship is very high.”
Fat Bird, as a media reviewer at the scene, was naturally aware of this.
The atmosphere at the scene was the highest among all participating singers until Xu Kong was interviewed by the host.
Although programs like "Singer" are strictly reviewed for live audiences, they can still represent the thoughts and perceptions of some viewers.
In fact, in comparison, Xu Kong has the lowest desire for this "Singer" champion.
Fat Bird himself also knows that with the current popularity and reputation of the other party, whether "Singer" wins the championship or not will not change much.
It's nothing more than adding an honor that doesn't mean much.
In comparison, Xu Kong's Su Zhi's new album last year, which he wrote, composed and produced entirely by himself, directly won the best album in the three major domestic music awards. This is an achievement that will truly be recorded in the history of the Chinese music scene.
……
In comparison, the other singers on the show include Jian Junfang, who is already semi-retired as a veteran singer, and the only European and American singer who remains.
Several others obviously need the winner of this season's "Singer".
This will be of great help to their career development now and for a long time to come.
Needless to say, Su Yuwei and Xu Shangyi are relatively potential newcomers in the country. In addition, they have been suppressed by Xu Kong alone. If they can win the championship of "Singer", it will only be based on this show. The popularity and traffic it brings are quite exaggerated.
In addition, the same goes for Lan Shu, who has been out for a long time, but has always been tepid.
If you can successfully win the championship, you will really come out ahead.
The Maple Leafs were once popular, but now they are in a semi-passed state, and they definitely want to win the championship.
Strictly speaking, the semi-final lineup of "Singer" this time was due to the elimination of veteran singer Wang Songjie and a European and American singer.
It seems that the guest lineup has become slightly worse, but at least it will no longer be the previous situation where everyone has no enthusiasm. Many singers obviously want to win.
……
Among Xu Kong's current status, singer is no longer a level that people take seriously.
Especially after the success of "Sweet Honey", it seems that Xu Kong is the greatest hope among the new generation of domestic directors in the future.
Everyone has other expectations for Xu Kong.
And it can be seen from his absence in several previous episodes that Xu Kong still came to participate in the semi-finals and finals of "Singer".
There is a high probability that he has signed a contract with Mango, and it is difficult to completely announce his retirement.
But even so, Xu Kong doesn't have much desire to fight. He might even have written the song casually before recording the show recently. Can these other singers win?
Although people like Xu Shangyi, Yang Jiangjie, and Xu Kong are known as the four major newcomers in the Chinese music scene.
But most netizens and listeners, including Fat Bird, would not really compare Xu Kong with the other three people.
This is not a matter of comparison.
Moreover, in everyone's basic understanding, Xu Kong is no longer on the same level as some other young singers.
……
"Let us invite the first singer to appear in the semi-finals, Xu Shangyi!"
Fat Bird was thinking as the game had officially begun.
The first one to appear was Xu Shangyi, one of the four major newcomers along with Xu Kong.
Xu Shangyi also started out as an independent musician. When he got up early in the morning, he posted his own songs on Cloud Music, which was always tepid.
Until later on, a certain folk-style single suddenly became popular, and then it seemed like it was cheating, and one hit after another became popular.
He is not a top student who graduated from a music major.
After graduation, I worked in real estate sales for a period of time, and then started to be a food self-media blogger.
But obviously, there is not much improvement.
What really made him famous was the folk songs he has continued to write to this day.
What contrasted sharply with Xu Shangyi's young-looking and even green-looking face was the other party's rather deep voice.
Such a voice cannot be said to have much potential, but it is just right when singing folk songs that require a sense of story and narrative.
……
"New song?"
"The quality feels really good..."
The young music director next to Fat Bird commented.
"It's not a new song. His new album wasn't released some time ago..."
Fat Bird has to critically review the songs of various domestic singers every day.
Naturally, I have also studied Xu Shangyi’s new album.
This song "Wind Whisper in the City" is from the other party's new album.
When the album was first released, it was not released. Now it seems that it should have been prepared to be sung on "Singer".
I have to say that Xu Shangyi's lyrics are indeed very well written.
It's not too rhetorical, but it can give people a great sense of involvement.
Especially the loneliness of going to a big city to work alone, with no one to talk to about your concerns, is probably something that many migrant workers can relate to.
……
For Xu Shangyi, a young musician, Fat Bird does not dislike him.
Especially when compared with Yang Jiangjie, the look and feel is definitely much better.
The other party is not as talented as Xu Kong, and is not even as good as the other two among the four newcomers.
Yang Jiangjie and Bai Ran are actually not as good as Xu Kong, but their musical talents are definitely very high.
In Xu Shangyi's words, he actually became a monk halfway through. With his own persistence and hard work, he slowly became famous and got to where he is today.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Xu Shangyi's works, regardless of their quality, are ones in which considerable emotion is invested.
This is the most rare thing, and it is also the only thing that Fat Bird, as a veteran troll, really can't troll.
…
"Singer Xu Shangyi, the final vote was..."
"87 votes!"
The votes are out. In fact, as the first guest to appear in the semi-finals, this number of votes is already quite good.
Not too low either.
But it is definitely impossible to get the first place in the semi-finals. Even getting into the top three depends on luck.
In fact, the quality of the songs is good, and although Xu Shangyi became a monk halfway, his singing skills and stage performance can be seen that he has put in hard work. Not to mention that there are many veteran first-line singers, but when you look at the current young singers, It's pretty outstanding.
The only thing is that the song itself is a relatively niche genre, ballads. On such a competitive stage, it does suffer a little.
But it can be seen that Xu Shangyi probably didn't expect to get very good results this time. The main purpose was to come here to sing for his new album.
……
The second person to appear is Jian Junfang, a veteran singer.
He sang an old song from his past that was relatively unpopular.
Needless to say, his performance is natural and as steady as an old dog.
It's completely studio-level. Even as an R&B song, it feels like a fat bird. The live version is even better than the original.
There is a reason why the song is not well-known. The quality of the song is average. Otherwise, it would have become popular long ago after it was released for so many years.
In the end, he got 88 votes, slightly higher than the previous one Xu Shangyi.
The King of Singer's live performances, singing skills, and stage aspects are completely incomparable to the current Xu Shangyi.
And it can be seen that Jian Junfang did not put in any effort, otherwise he would not have chosen such an unpopular old song.
……
"Teacher Jian is also very Buddhist. We are already in the semi-finals, and I haven't seen him really take it seriously for several episodes."
"People don't need a "Singer" champion to prove anything, just enjoy the stage."
"It's a pity. In fact, I feel that the only one who can really compare with Xu Kong is the complete King Jian Ge. But it can be seen that Teacher Jian is not that competitive."
At this time, the barrages also gave their own evaluations.
I have to say that there are still many knowledgeable people among the audience watching "Singer".
A veteran singer like Jian Junfang who is still very popular even now has a good fan base.
It's just that most of them are not as eager to fight as the fans of today's young artists.
Even just to watch Jian Junfang's stage, he didn't care too much about the result of the game. ……
At this time, in the backstage of the "Singer" contestants, Lan Shu watched Jian Junfang's stage and felt a little mixed in his heart.
Of course she could tell that Jian Junfang deliberately chose such a song.
As the person who led her into the industry, the other party really didn't care about the championship and ranking of "Singer" at all.
On the contrary, because he had Lan Shu participating, and Xu Kong, whom he had the best relationship with and admired the most, he was more willing to give more exposure and traffic to young people like them.
Lan Shu really wants to win the "Singer" championship, and she has made a lot of preparations for this show.
But she also knew in her heart that in fact the biggest obstacle was not Jian Junfang, but Xu Kong, who was younger than her, but she didn't think she could win.
Xu Kong is indeed special, not only as a singer, but also in terms of singing skills. Lan Shu thinks that he and Xu Kong are evenly matched.
The other party is definitely one of the best among young singers under the age of thirty, both in singing and live performance.
No worse than her, a first-line singer who has been in the industry for so many years.

But on the other hand, Xu Kong's identity as a composer and songwriter is the real bug.
Lan Shu's recognition of Xu Kong's creative talent and ability is even higher than that of some well-known songwriters in the circle.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to put in so much effort to ask Jian Junfang to help, and he would have to ask him to sing.
……
Lan Shu here is still thinking, the third singer has already started the performance.
This European and American singer is more like collecting money to do things.
He originally received an appearance fee, but until now, the market in China that he originally expected has not opened up much.
Although he is still very dedicated and shows off his high notes.
But viewers who have watched the show for a whole season have already become immune.
The final number of votes even barely reached 82 votes.
The language barrier and the lack of resonance with the lyrics are definitely one aspect.
But more importantly, the song itself is not good enough and the style does not meet the preferences of domestic audiences.
Otherwise, music is one of the special languages that can definitely hinder communication.
……
Next up was the Maple Leafs, which made it even more difficult to explain.
Although the popularity is not low, the reason why the previous programs can stay is because the two of them sang together again after many years and sang some of the masterpieces of the year.
This time without the bonus of memory, although the songs sung still have a familiar taste, the popularity of the songs is much worse.
Moreover, the music style is still a bit too old, making it difficult to surprise people and leave a particularly deep impression.
Being able to get 78 votes is probably due to the so-called memory filter of some media judges.
If nothing happens in the future, Fat Bird thinks that the Maple Leafs combination will probably have the lowest number of votes.
……
In fact, the Maple Leafs have been popular for many years.
Especially compared with some young talents who are outdated in two or three years, their careers are enviable.
But because of this, even if the two of them really plan to reunite again, they can start over and try to start over.
It's not that easy either.
The most important thing is still the issue of the work.
It’s impossible to always rely on those old songs to capture the audience’s feelings.
And it is not that easy to release new songs.
Both of them are in their 40s and 50s, and they are no longer in their prime, and the style of their songs definitely needs to change.
They are all problems, and none of them are easy to solve.
Even a highly trafficked program like "Singer" still has limited effects.
……
Xu Kong was placed in the penultimate finale.
It would have actually been the best to appear.
This is what Wu Youxue meant.
The main reason is that he also knows that Xu Kong has a lot of traffic, and only by appearing last can he retain the audience in the live broadcast room.
But after all, it was still a draw, and it was impossible to completely control the situation. With a normal chance, Xu Kong got the penultimate appearance.
The last one was taken away by Lan Shu.
This is not very good news for her.
After all, if it were to perform behind Xu Kong, let alone her, it would definitely be stressful for anyone, even some singing kings and queens.
She had already seen this in the previous episodes of Xu Kong's program.
After Xu Kong finished singing, both the atmosphere at the scene and the media judges would be affected.
……
Su Yuwei appears next.
Of course, she is probably the most nervous among the live singers.
There is no way, age is one thing, except for Xu Kong, she is the youngest.
But Xu Kong's stage performance is not mature enough for a singer of his age.
As for the rest, in terms of stage experience, they are all very experienced.
Including Xu Shangyi and Lan Shu are no exception. Although Xu Shangyi has not been famous for a long time, in fact, when he was an independent musician, he often went to perform in various places.
The main reason is to make money, so I will accept any kind of performance, but I have accumulated a lot of live performance experience.
""Looking for Love""
"Lyrics and music composition: Xu Yang"
"Singer: Su Yuwei"
……
"Written by Xu Yang? New song?"
When Fat Bird saw the song information, he was a little stunned.
Then I felt a little emotional that Jiying Media really took good care of Su Yuwei, a newcomer.
It was Guo Min before, and Xu Yang this time. They are almost all well-known songwriters in China.
Being able to have both of them help write songs is a treatment that not many people can have, and they are such young singers.
Su Yuwei's voice is relatively high-pitched and bright, especially the high notes, which are very clean and penetrating.
When this song enters the chorus, it can be seen that it was almost written specifically for each other.
The quality of the song is not low, even the first time I listened to it it was quite amazing.
Fat Bird feels that there is a certain probability that after the semi-finals of "Singer" this time, it will become popular.
It can be seen that Su Yuwei and Jiying Media also have ideas about the winner of "Singer" this time.
……
“The quality is very high!”
"She is beautiful, can sing well, and she also gives people a sense of being stupid and easy to deceive. I like it!"
"Do you like it? I'm embarrassed to expose you..."
Su Yuwei's popularity among passers-by is very good, and the barrage at this time is full of praise.
After all, there is nothing bad about a young, beautiful, and powerful new singer.
The final number of votes exceeded many people's expectations.
"Singer Su Yuwei, the final number of votes is..."
"93 votes!"
