Chapter 117: Pure
It's "HOLD-MY-HAND"!
Sid sang MJ's last song "HOLD-MY-HAND" in "history", and although this song was sung within a certain range of MJ's last song, compared to other MJ's famous hits, this "HOLD-MY-HAND" can only be regarded as a loss, especially among fans in North America.
The reason for this is also very simple, this song is really too flat, you must know that the reason why the European and American music scenes can sweep the world like Hollywood, even the popular Korean Wave cannot counterattack, is because of the world of difference in composition ability.
"HOLD-MY-HAND" is more like an oldie song from the 70s and 80s, and this kind of tune seems too old even in 2001.
But again, the right piece of art at the right time can make a difference.
Just like in 1994, when the trend of conservatism returned, "Forrest Gump", which came out at the right time, not only defeated "The Shaw Redemption" and achieved its Oscar path, but also became a national film in North America in one fell swoop, ascending to the same national status as "Hotel California".
And, in addition to the song itself, there is another point that is also important - the singer's interpretation.
When Sid spoke, it was like a river flowing into people's hearts.
Pure and ethereal, like a river of light swaying down from the sky.
Sid changed the tune of this song to a sao Lingle style, and his voice was extremely clear and at the same time, with a hint of vicissitudes, which made the listener involuntarily have goosebumps.
Everyone was stunned on the stage, and Britney Spears in the background looked at the screen excitedly, unable to help herself with joy. And Kelly Clarkson, who was beside her, muttered to herself, "It's so good?"
This is not only Kelly Clarkson's self-talk, but also the hearts of the audience.
There is only one guitar and one person, but the singing voice has the energy to shake the heart. What's more, the lyrics and meaning of this song "HOLD-MY-HAND" are so consistent with the present?
"The night is starting to get dark (hold my hand), but there is no peaceful place (hold my hand), so why do we get so hard (hold my hand), we have to try to love (tonight, Baby)......"
The seemingly plain lyrics hit the hearts of all audiences, whether they were in the audience or in front of the TV.
"Because I've been there before, and you've been there before, because when darkness comes and the cold invades, we clasp each other's hands until we see the sun. Hold my hand (Baby I swear I'll do that), all I can do (everything will be fine if you hold my hand) ......"
At this point, the audience in the audience had already reacted, they swayed to Sid's singing, some even quietly wept, and others couldn't help but dance to the song.
The clear and delicate singing voice, the lyrics that hit people's hearts, everything made the audience fascinated, and it has been a long time since a song so simple but touching has appeared.
For some older audiences, Sid's baby-like voice evokes another beauty in their memories — "John Lennon's baby-like voice," a term used to describe ethereal sounds in the '7s and '80s.
This time, they remembered the adjective again.
Or to use another word later, it can actually be very simple to describe - open your mouth and kneel!
At the end of the song, the audience immediately burst into bright cheers and applause.
Sid loosened the earphones on his ears, and a faint smile appeared on his cheeks, "Thank you!"
The bright cheers sounded again, whether it was the audience or the singers and stars backstage, they couldn't help but applaud and cheer, and Sid impressed everyone with his undoubted strength.
And this also turned another wave of the world upside down in everyone's hearts - what kind of monster is Sid Leonhardt!?first the movie, then the movie, and now the music!?
Even Bob Dylan and John Lennon can't cross the border like you!
Although the three views of others, once again subverted by Sid, are trying to put them back together. But Sid continued: "THE SONG IS CALLED HOLD-MY-HAND, AND IT'S A SONG ABOUT UNITY, STRENGTH AND LOVE. ”
"Now I want to ask everyone, please reach out and touch the people around you, connect with the strangers around you, your friends, your family, your lovers, and tell them 'I love you!', look them in the eye and say 'I love you!'"
"Do it! Everybody here, please do it!"
With Sid's words, the audience really began to shake hands with the people around them, and the voices of "I love you!" came and went, forming a heat wave that swept the audience.
After the finale, the appearance of the legendary U2 band once again brought the heat wave to a climax, during the intermission, several special videos were released on the big screen, the content of some superstars who were not able to show up, the first of which appeared was Jackson, the king of pop who just celebrated the "30th anniversary of solo commemoration".
Other celebrities such as Spice Girls Victoria, the Rolling Stones, and many other celebrities came forward, and although their speeches were different, they all said the same thing in the end - I-Stand-With-New York!
Finally, all the star singers took the stage and ended the concert with Britney with a song "Born to Make You Happy".
The next day, the New York Times gave a comprehensive report on the charity concert under the headline "Great Concert, Great Artist".
They not only praised all the participating artists and singers in the newspaper, but also praised the organizer Britney Spears this time, whether it was her passionate singing or the gathering of such a luxurious lineup in such a short time, it is an admirable thing.
Most of the atmosphere of the whole concert is a pleasant and uplifting tone, whether it is a touching slow song or an inspirational fast song, it contains the hearts of many artists.
And the "New York Times" also said in the article: "What I value more than their singing and performance is the standing up of these big-name artists, and such a stance and posture are truly precious." ”
In the end, they ended with the theme of this charity concert - to fight back against terrorist attacks with love and refuse to bow to terrorism.
With the report of the New York Times as the fuse, the media in the United States and even around the world followed suit, and a lot of coverage of this charity concert in New York was carried out.
