Chapter 315
At the beginning of the second round of the competition, Liang Xueying, who had changed into a red slim dress and short skirt, appeared on the stage again. This is Liang Xueying's last performance in this show, and the song she chose is the title song from an album she released a few years ago, and it is also one of her signature songs. In this last performance, Liang Xueying heartily soared her signature "dolphin sound", which made the audience at the scene and in front of the TV addicted.
The second Korean singer Yoo Woo-won sang a Korean song that the audience is very familiar with in the second round. This song is the ending song of a Korean drama that was very popular in China last year, although it was not originally sung by Liu Youyuan, but Liu Youyuan was invited to write specifically for that TV series. The songs he wrote were sung in his native language, and Liu Youyuan was naturally comfortable performing. And because of last year's popular Korean drama, the audience is also very familiar with this song, but when they heard the prelude, the scene was already cheering and screaming, and the audience's response was also very strong after the whole performance.
It is not surprising that the two singers who appeared in front of them both chose their masterpieces as the competition songs for the second round of the finals. After all, the soloists in the second round of the finals performed the last performance in the whole show, and it was also the last chance for the singers to perform. When you need to give it a go, return to your comfort zone and sing the most familiar and widely circulated famous songs or masterpieces, which can not only make yourself more incisive, but also arouse the audience's deepest impression of yourself at critical times, and use the bonus of songs to increase the possibility of the audience voting for themselves.
This phenomenon is also common in previous seasons of the show. The program stipulates that singers only have two opportunities to sing their original songs in the show, and most singers put these two opportunities at the beginning and the end, one is to make their debut in the show, and the other is to stay in the second round of solo singing in the finals. Some singers even saved both chances to sing their own songs for the finals. However, there have been some small adjustments to the rules this year, and if Xiao Yao is such a strange thing, it is destined that all singers will sing their famous songs or masterpieces in the second round of solo singing in the finals.
"Thank you Liu Youyuan for your wonderful performance. After Liu Youyuan's performance was over, after leaving, Ke Jun returned to the stage and began to introduce the next singer, "The next singer who will appear is the youngest singer in this season's show, Xiao Yao!"
Since it has been announced that the order of singers in the second round will be carried out in reverse order of the results of the first round, it is no secret that the order of singers in the second round is no secret, and the host can also directly say their names during the introduction.
"Personally, I think he is the singer who brought us the most surprises in this season's show. Ke Jun continued, "Of course, I'm not saying that the performances of other singers are not wonderful or amazing enough, but relative to his age, he can not fall behind in so many competitions with so many predecessors in this show, all the way to the finals, and he is the singer who surprised me the most." ”
"Wow~" Hearing Ke Jun's comment, many empathetic audiences at the scene burst into applause and cheers.
"So what surprises will he bring us in the last performance of the season?" Ke Jun continued with a smile, "The song he will sing next is still his original new song!"
"Wow~" Some of the audience members deliberately let out a burst of exclamation.
"Okay, don't act so exaggerated!" Ke Jun smiled and waved his hand, "It's not a surprise that he sings his original new song from beginning to end in this show." ”
"Haha~" Some of the audience laughed.
"This song is called 'No Place for Shame', and it's a rock song!" Ke Jun continued.
"Well, he's written and sung rock songs, and it's not a surprise!" Ke Jun didn't wait for the audience to speak again, and quickly continued, "Tonight, he brought a rock band, which will perform in the form of a band at the scene." ”
"Okay, the surprise is coming!" Ke Jun also said with an excited smile on his face, "This rock band he brought is - "Immortals"!"
"Wow~~"
When Ke Jun introduced the rock band and deliberately delayed the word "yes" before saying the band's name, some viewers were already excitedly guessing whether Xiao Yao would bring the band that had been on the Oscar stage to the scene, and when Ke Jun really said the name they were looking forward to, the audience erupted in a huge cheer and scream.
At the same time, netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also fried the pot.
"Holy!"
"The band that has been on the Oscar is also here! Xiao Yao is awesome!"
"Xiao Yao was originally a member of the band, but they were on the Oscars together!"
"It's been two years since Xiao Yao returned to China, is he still a member of the band?"
"The single "The Phoenix" released by "Immortals" last year seems to have been written by Xiao Yao!
"No matter how much he is, if people can come, that's Xiao Yao!"
"Awesome!"
"According to the style of this band, this stage is going to blow up!"
"Alright, let's enjoy the Oscar-level band performance!" Ke Jun waved his hand behind him, and then walked off the stage quickly.
Since the order of the singers in the second round of the final is no secret to the audience, there is no stage for the singers to walk out of the stage passage in the second round. When the host Ke Jun stood in front of the stage to make an introduction, only a spotlight above his standing position hit him on the stage, and on the stage behind him, he was directly preparing for the performance in the dim light.
After Ke Jun left, the lights above the stage came on, and the entire band appeared in front of the audience at once.
“Immortals!”
“Immortals!”
Although Ke Jun had already introduced and announced the name of the band, when they saw the real person appear on the stage, the audience couldn't help but let out a louder cheer, and some of the younger audience members even stood up from their seats, waving their arms and shouting.
Seeing that the audience was so enthusiastic, Xiao Yao could only pause the performance he wanted to start, turned to look at Dean and the others behind him, gestured with his eyes, and took the lead in raising his arm and waving to the audience. Dean and other band members behind Xiao Yao immediately followed Xiao Yao's example and waved to the audience with a smile. The big screen at the scene took turns to cut close-ups of the faces of several band members, and the screams of the audience were much louder.
After greeting, Xiao Yao, who was standing in the middle of the front of the band, withdrew his hands and put them on the guitar he was carrying. Seeing Xiao Yao's movements, Samion, the drummer at the back of the band, raised the two drumsticks in his hand, approached the microphone next to him, and began to beat each other rhythmically.
Seeing the movements of the beautiful drummer and hearing the sound of drumsticks in the live stereos, the audience understood that this was the beginning of the performance, and those who stood up sat down one after another, and the cheers and screams of the scene began to slowly subside.
After the rhythmic four drumstick strikes, Sarmien did not immediately drop the drumsticks on the drum kit or cymbal in front of him, but Dean, who was standing next to Xiao Yao and carrying an electric guitar, took the lead in starting the prelude of the song with a short cool electric guitar solo.
Almost ten seconds later, Sarmeon's drumsticks fell, the drum kit and cymbals sounded together, Xiao Yao's electric guitar, George's bass, and Mike's keyboard notes joined in, and the whole song's prelude soundtrack was truly enriched.
"Li~Oh~~~Oh~Oh~Oh~Oh~,Li~Oh~~~Oh~~" With a fast-paced drum beat from Samion, Xiao Yao took a step forward, left the guitar with both hands, held the standing microphone in front of him, raised his head, and raised his voice in a high-pitched voice.
"Damn!awe!" just raised his voice, and the audience burst into cheers and screams.
Since it was a performance in the name of the band "Immortals", Xiao Yao didn't want to highlight himself alone. In terms of styling, he is dressed as a very ordinary rock musician in a black cropped leather jacket with black trousers and boots. The one on his back is not the very cool dragon-shaped guitar "Prison Cow", but the ordinary black body electric guitar that was used during the live broadcast. Although he stands in the middle of the front of the group, at least in terms of appearance, he is no more attractive than the other exotic musicians.
The band is now a two-guitarist and two-vocals, but tonight he can only be the single lead singer, so in the guitar solo part of the prelude of the song, he did not choose to come by himself, but confidently handed over this section to another guitarist Dean Smith, who has only been learning guitar for two years. But no matter how Xiao Yao weakens himself in terms of modeling and performance choreography, and arranges the colorful performances of other band members, Xiao Yao is the most powerful character in this band tonight, tonight is his game, he is the well-deserved protagonist tonight, and his appearance immediately caught the attention of the audience back to himself.
"In the crowd of people, there are you and me!Meet and know each other and ponder each other~In the crowd, it is you and me!Pretend to be decent and smile~"
After opening his amazing bright voice, Xiao Yao also sang in a very powerful singing voice.
After Xiao Yao entered the formal singing part, many of the audience showed surprised expressions. Xiao Yao has indeed written and sung rock works in the past, but whether it is the melancholy lyrical rock of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", or the inspirational and atmospheric "Fly Higher", they are not as amazing as when they hear Xiao Yao's song at the moment. Such a song that is full of strength and can even make people feel a powerful aura rushing to their faces, makes the audience immediately feel enthusiastic and high. Many viewers also followed Xiao Yao's singing and swayed their bodies.
"Don't say too much, you know for yourself!What do you and I want to do~"
"Hi ~ Hi ~ Hi!"
"Don't care a lot, don't be sad!After all, one day you will understand me~"
Not only the audience at the scene was swaying with Xiao Yao's singing, but several members of the band "Immortals" on the stage were also moving their bodies with Xiao Yao's voice. When Xiao Yao was halfway through the song, several band members shrugged their shoulders along with the music, and inserted a few open voices in the middle of Xiao Yao's two lyrics.
In front of each band member is a microphone stand with a microphone installed, and their harmonic sound is clearly transmitted from the live sound through the microphone. Seeing this overall interaction of the band members, the audience burst into cheers and screams again.
The song "No Place for Self-Respect" sung by Xiao Yao is one of the three most famous songs of the Black Panther Band in the previous life. This classic song, released in the early 90s of the last century, is also one of the most representative rock songs of that golden age of rock and roll. With a tribute to the classic rock music of the previous life, and even a bit of pilgrimage, Xiao Yao did not make any changes to the lyrics and melody of this song, but made some small changes in the arrangement and soundtrack in order to cooperate with the stage performance of the "Immortals" band, and at the same time, in order to allow the other members of the band to perform and meet Sarmien's requirements to sing harmony, some harmonic arrangements were made.
"In the crowd, I saw you again! It's as charming and beautiful as it gets~ Slowly relax, slowly abandon, I still don't care~"
"You don't have to say too much, you know for yourself!What do you and I want to do~"
"Hi ~ Hi ~ Hi!"
"Don't care a lot, don't be sad, one day you will leave me~"
From "acquaintance and encounter" to "relaxation" and "abandonment", from "will understand me" to "will leave me", the second lyrics tell the content of the follow-up to the first paragraph, and Xiao Yao also has a progressive mood when singing. In the first stanza, the voice that was slightly suppressed gradually opened up in the second stanza. Especially in the last sentence of these two paragraphs, the difference between "one day you will understand me~" and "one day you will leave me~" is especially obvious.
At the end of the second stanza, the song has a short interlude. Xiao Yao, who was singing with both hands on the microphone stand, also put his hands back on the electric guitar he was carrying in front of him, and played this interlude in the song with the band members.
Some say that electric guitars are the hallmark of rock 'n' roll. Xiao Yao stopped singing, put down the microphone, picked up the electric guitar, and played this rhythmic interlude with Dean, Samion and others, the audience's screams rang out more unscrupulously, and the atmosphere was as hot as when Xiao Yao sang just now.
"In the crowd, I saw you again! It's as charming and beautiful as it gets~ Slowly relax, slowly abandon, I still don't care~"
"Don't say too much, you know for yourself!What do you and I want to do~"
"Hi ~ Hi ~ Hi!"
"Don't care a lot, don't be sad!After all, one day you will understand me~"
After the interlude, Xiao Yao held the microphone in front of him with both hands again and began to sing the third section of the song. The lyrics of the third paragraph are basically the same as the second paragraph, but in the explosive atmosphere of the scene, few viewers noticed that the lyrics of the third paragraph, "Don't say too much, you know yourself" are missing two "you" than the second paragraph. Most of the audience paid attention to the band members' brief harmonies and exhaled and "hi"hi"!
