For those who don't know Taeyeon, it may be difficult to understand what it means to sing a song, or even a cover, to her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When it comes to Kim Taeyeon, the views of the Korean entertainment industry and the fan circle are very consistent - the captain of Girls' Generation, his singing skills are very good, and he is second to none among the members of the girl idol group, and he has the strength to debut as a solo singer.
In November 08, netizens voted for "the girl group members who would succeed if they were solo activities", and the first person in the ranking was Taeyeon.
On New Year's Day of the 10th year, netizens voted for "The Voice of Today's Girl Group", and the first place was also Taeyeon.
In April of the same year, Taeyeon ranked seventh in the "Top 15 Korean Bel Canto", and the top six were all men.
In October of the same year, Taeyeon ranked third in singing skills, third in solo potential, and first among female idols.
These words have been said since Girls' Generation debuted four years ago, and if nothing else, there will always be people talking about it in the future.
Even before her debut as a child, as Taeyeon's vocal teacher, the famous singer the_one (Jung Soon-won) of S.M. praised her, and even invited her to sing a song "you_bring_my_joy" on her self-titled album in 2004. At that time, Taeyeon was only 15 years old, and he was not a formal trainee, just an ordinary child who was still in junior high school, and he had just entered the the_one in his early months......
These are other people's opinions and opinions, but what about Taeyeon's own subjective wishes?
She has mentioned more than once in the program and in her personal space things like "I like to sing", "I want to sing all the time", "That's all I can do well", "It's a happy thing to have someone to listen to you sing...... Such thoughts.
Fans support, peers appreciate, experts recognize, and I also have a strong subjective will, it seems that everything is a matter of course, right?
But in reality?
Many people who have similar thoughts, when they want to find her music album and listen to her voice more, will find - no, nothing!
Until now, she has not released any official music albums that belong to her, let alone albums, not even singles.
There are just a few OSTs: "If" from "Quick Knife Hong Ji Tong", "Can You Hear Me" from "Beethoven Virus", "Is It Love" from "Heading to the Earth" (with Sunny), "Like a Star" (with the_one), and the chorus from the the_one album of the same name before the debut.
That's the reality of the situation.
In the four years since her debut, most of her time has been spent on the practice of team singing and dancing, one after another saliva brainwashing songs, nine people take turns singing, every time the feelings are brewing for a long time, only to sing one or two sentences and then come to an abrupt end; she is not a façade, nor is she the lead dancer, a MV down, there are not many opportunities to show her face in front of the camera; as the captain and one of the top three most popular members, the company naturally gives her a lot of resources, so she hosts the radio station, participates in various variety shows as a guest, and occasionally tries to challenge the host or something, and then there are various autograph sessions, advertising models, pictorial shooting......
Among them, the radio host with more free space is better, and she often has the opportunity to completely cover some good songs that belong to others at the request of listeners, or sing a few of her own OSTs, such as "If", which can barely satisfy the expression desire of singers who "let others listen to their own singing".
Even a few years later, a fan of the Celestial Dynasty released a video album called "Listen to the Songs Sung by Soul Singer Kim Taeyeon (43 Songs)" on Yinyue Channel, most of which were from the blurry videos she recorded during her hosting of the radio station, and "If" is a typical example of singing and singing.
However, the rewards of a radio hosting job are limited, and in the early days of the group's debut, the company accepted this kind of work as a way to broaden its popularity. When the Divine Comedy "Gee" came out and Girls' Generation became purple, this kind of itinerary that is not very profitable and then let her be the top three idols in the team, which is not cost-effective in the company's opinion.
So in April last year, she ended her two-year job as a radio DJ. According to the company's personal development plan, this resource will be divided among the members of the team who are relatively unpopular and good at this field, such as Sunny, who is also known for his outstanding artistic ability as the lead singer.
As an introverted and closed-minded child, she is used to burying everything in her heart and not telling others, out of professionalism and for the development of the team, she goes out to sell all kinds of cute, funny, and convulsions in front of the camera, imitates Sharapova's screams, deliberately exposes her aunt's smile, and even in order to meet the needs of CP rice, she has to have a pink blood red or something with one or some teammates from time to time...... She did a lot of things like that.
Conscientiously and cautiously to this day, the team finally reached the top of the Korean girl idol group, and the development in Japan is also booming, and the career is on track. She has always been grateful and glad for this. But the desire and ambition for singing accumulated in the three years of the trainee plus the four years of the debut, a total of seven years of career, how can only a few OSTs be able to bear?
Although it is only a cover, the song "Burning Heart with Fire" is undoubtedly a good song that can make her soul tremble, and it is also a whole song, not a fragment of one person with one lyric!
If you don't understand this, you won't understand what it means for Taeyeon to cover this song.
Taeyeon lowered her head, the natural shadow of her shawl-long hair obscuring the expression on her face. She stood up silently, and under Su-young's surprised gaze, she walked up to Tiffany and Yuna successively, and motioned for them to follow her to another corner of the practice room......
“dardae?”
"Taeyeono?"
Tiffany and Yoona look at Taeyeon in confusion.
"Tonight's so-young's birthday dinner, Naxon's Liu production they will attend. Yanping Oba arranged for us to go to the singing room after dinner, which may affect the outcome of who will cover that Chinese song. ”
Although she trusts so-young's judgment very much, after all, it is a speculation that has not been confirmed, and Taeyeon feels that since she is willing to believe so-young, the responsibility should be on herself. Even if so-young did misjudge, it shouldn't be her to blame - if anything.
This is her philosophy of life, if it is her own fault, she should not put the blame on others.
But it was clear that she was overthinking......
"Cover that Chinese song?who_cares (Who cares)!" Tiffany frowned and thought for a long time before she realized what Taeyeon was referring to, and then shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands very Americanly, "Like Jessie said, it's really good, but_so_what? This is not my style!"
Koreans, like the Celestial Empire, are accustomed to the name format after the first name, so the nicknames of the English names Jessica and Tiffany are also called Ssica and Ffany in a similar way to the Oriental name style, which is the origin of Sika and Pani ([f] is [p] in Korean English pronunciation).
However, American Van Tiffany is naturally more accustomed to American nicknames, so she calls Jessica Jessi, that is, Jessie, which is more or less unusual.
Also because she grew up in the United States, Tiffany's musical aesthetic is also quintessentially American.
In the part where she introduced the teenage members on the Asia First Tour, she appeared in a dance that imitated Michael Jackson, and it was not designed for no reason.
Imagine how a Korean-American, who is famously not very good at speaking Korean, would appreciate the elements of oriental-style music.
For Tiffany, listening to Ye Qianwen's version of "Burning the Heart with Fire" is indeed a great special experience, just like we Orientals who occasionally go to listen to one or two Western operas, which may be interesting and novel, but that's all. How many people would want to try singing "O people of the imperial capital, the emperor's decree has been ......" (opening scene of the opera "Turandot") or something like that?
It's not her preferred musical orientation, it's one thing to listen to it, and it's another thing to interpret it in your own way.
If the collaborator and the company decide that she will cover the song, she will naturally not refuse, but it is just a job. Out of the professionalism of the idol, Tiffany will work hard to complete it, just like any other job assigned by the company.
However, to say that to take the initiative to fight for this job, Tiffany never dreamed of it.
This is Tiffany's attitude, she doesn't care about it, and Yuna's reaction is much more intense than her!
"Ernie I've said it all! If you were to ask me what I think, I'd answer 'no, thanks!' - I swore at the time! Ernie don't you believe me?"
What the hell is going on with that Liu Production? It's endless! Yanping Oba, why don't you completely push off this cooperation, it's really disappointing to me!
Yun'er glared at the fawn impatiently, frowned, pouted, and looked fierce.
Even if the company decides to do the next, we really can't push it off, but Taeyeon Ernie you can sing, Tiffany Ernie can sing, or find Hyoyeon Ernie or busy Nei to sing, I have already said that you are all more suitable than me, why do you have to pull me again and again?
Do you really think of me as the lead singer of Lin? I don't know how many pounds and taels Lin Yun'er has! The last time I endorsed a cosmetics advertisement, I sang "A Day of Moisturizing and Antioxidant", and when I came back, I was teased by my sisters for a few months.
And I don't lack a schedule, this kind of cover work is better for anyone to pick up than to find me!
Seriously, in the same group, I can't keep busy every day, and the other members such as Takabuchi Oni have almost nothing to do except team activities, which already makes me feel very scared and burdened. If it is a film and television drama, advertising and other work that is in line with my team's responsibilities, I will accept it a little better, singing this kind of thing, with the five ready-made lead singers in the team there, why do you have to look for me?
Tiffany and Yoona's stance was somewhat unexpected for Taeyeon, she originally thought that even if she wasn't as eager as she was, she would be a little looking forward to it, right? She still wanted to persuade reluctantly, so she said: "Anyway, you should prepare more or less, when you go to the singing room at night, what songs you want to sing, think about it when you have time." ”
Tiffany hesitated, nodded and stopped talking. Yun'er also didn't say a word, but silently made a decision in her heart-
Tonight, I definitely don't give that Liu a good look!
