is almost the same as Ye Zi's purpose, for Chen Yichen, the main purpose of this Shen Yuexiang Three Singer Contest is to show himself, and the results are an incidental requirement.

However, who will give up the title if they can win the championship?

Chen Yichen's participation was arranged by Huaxing Company. Because he won the championship in the Xiangjiang Rookie Competition in the first half of last year, Chen Yichen has officially signed a contract with Huaxing Records, and the preparation for his solo singing album is also in progress.

In this competition, the company's requirement for him is to show his strength and style with all his might, and let Xiangjiang fans know and like it as much as possible before the album is released.

Of course, it is best to be able to win the championship, even if you can't win the championship, you can achieve the company's goal by showing your singing strength and personal charm in the competition.

In the divisional competition, Chen Yichen, as the organizer's escort player, began to participate in the semi-finals, and the results were far ahead, and he easily won the championship of the Xiangjiang division.

After winning the championship in the division, at the end of last year, Huaxing Company took advantage of the trend to launch Chen Yichen's first test single "Song of the Times". Recently, this new song has been on the list of major radio stations in Xiangjiang, and has gradually attracted the attention of Xiangjiang fans.

It can be said that among the fifteen contestants who participated in the finals, Chen Yichen is the only "big-name" player who has a certain reputation in the Xiangjiang music scene.

He is also the player with the highest call to win the championship at the moment, and it is certain to say that the attention of all eyes may be too much, and it is certain that he will win first.

Among the time, place, and people, Chen Yichen has the advantages of land, people and people, and has taken the lead among all the contestants.

This is Chen Yichen's favorable condition.

As the main player on the host's side, such a home advantage is inevitable.

In tonight's semi-finals, Chen Yichen did not choose to sing his own single to participate, but chose the track he won in last year's rookie competition, a masterpiece "Love You More Every Day" by Zhang Xueyou, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Chen Yichen's voice and singing talent are excellent.

His voice is slightly mellow compared to Zhang Xueyou, but it lacks a lot in strength. He came to sing this song "Love You More Every Day", which is more gentle than Zhang Xueyou's original song, but between the words and melody, his singing lacks Zhang Xueyou's touching firmness.

In other words, Chen Yichen is far inferior to Zhang Xueyou in terms of singing texture.

This is also normal.

If it's a few years later. Chen Yichen, who is fully mature in singing, sings this song again, and may be able to compare with Zhang Xueyou's original singing, but in tonight's semi-finals, Chen Yichen's singing makes people feel too immature.

The last stanza of the song. There is a high note that needs to be sung by a combination of true and false voices, and Chen Yichen's current singing skills and control are obviously not enough to support it. "I love you more and then more" is completely empty, although the situation is not as serious as Zhang Lei's loss of voice, but it is also a big mistake in singing, and the deduction of points is certain.

Zhang Xueyou's original singing Zhuyu is in front. Chen Yichen's contrast in singing is very obvious.

Ye Zi believes that Chen Yichen is definitely a wrong choice to participate in the competition with this song "Love You More Every Day".

Whether it is the audience or the judges, they are very familiar with this song, and they will unconsciously compare Chen Yichen's singing with Zhang Xueyou. The current Chen Yichen does not have the strength comparable to Zhang Xueyou. During the competition, he did not make a certain degree of change to the singing of the song and the accompaniment of the band according to the characteristics of his voice, which made people ignore Zhang Xueyou's original singing and pay attention to his singing. He sang directly with Zhang Xueyou's original accompaniment, which is equivalent to a PK with Zhang Xueyou, no wonder if he doesn't lose!

Ye Zi sitting in the contestant's area. After only listening to a few sentences of Chen Yichen's live singing, I found that I looked up to the other party when analyzing the opponent. Judging from Chen Yichen's current singing strength, he can't be Ye Zi's biggest opponent.

Of course, coupled with other subjective and objective factors, Chen Yichen's comprehensive strength is still extremely strong.

The main reason for such an error in judgment is that Ye Zi mixed the superstar in his previous life with the new young singer who has just debuted. Although both of these are Chen Yichen's same person, Chen Yichen at different stages still has a very big difference in singing strength.

Now he is just a piece of unpolished jade, and the future is promising. But it's too early to think about it right away.

Ye Zi remembered the "Song of the Times" he had heard in his previous life, and he was puzzled at that time that Chen Yichen's performance in this song was not good, and even went out of tune in many places. The treatment of the song also seems stiff, and the connotation of the lyrics and songs is not fully interpreted.

Now it seems that this should be due to Chen Yichen's lack of strength when he first debuted.

――――――――――

Speaking from the heart, Liu Qi's performance tonight can be called "excellent". He was the eighth player, and then Chen Yichen appeared, and the two faced each other directly one after the other.

Judging by the performance of both sides. In terms of singing, Liu Qi surpassed his opponents, but in the typhoon, Liu Qi was not as familiar as Chen Yichen.

And it's no wonder.

Chen Yichen is a professional singer who has signed a contract with the company, and the tempering on the stage is his essential homework. Compared with an amateur player like Liu Qi, Chen Yichen has more performance opportunities, and his stage experience is definitely much better, and Typhoon will certainly be better than Liu Qi.

However, in terms of singing, Chen Yichen's performance tonight is really not as good as Liu Qi.

Liu Qi's repertoire is well chosen, this is Ye Zi's opinion.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Qi's timbre is soft and waxy, which is very ingenious, but it lacks a bit of masculinity that a male voice should have. However, the song "The Crooked Moon" he participated in today does not need too much masculinity, but needs to use that continuous and tactful voice to express the strong homesickness contained in the song.

Such a requirement is just right for Liu Qi's voice to play, and such a song selection is just right.

In tonight's semi-finals, Liu Qi gave full play to his soft and fluffy voice, and performed the whole song very well with the slightly exaggerated emotional processing that is very characteristic of his personal characteristics.

There are two major technical difficulties in the singing of this song, and Liu Qi handles them very well.

The first point is the smooth sound that appears almost every one or two sentences. For example, in the sentence "There is a crooked moon in the distant night sky", the first word "bend" is a smooth sound that rises directly from the bass 5 (slosh) to the treble 5 (sorcert). This kind of sleek sound is almost everywhere in this song, which is also one of the most representative characteristics of this homesick famous song.

Compositional factors are very complicated to explain. Just to say that this sleek voice is still very particular about singing skills.

The singing of the sleek voice should not be too "real". That is, you can't sing the note from low to high, or from high to low too clearly. If you sing too "solidly", the smooth tone will lose that "smooth" leaning feeling, and it will become a real jump from low to high scale, which is another way of singing.

But the smooth voice can't be sung too weakly, so that people can't hear the change in pitch at all. In that case, the smooth sound will lose its meaning when written there, and it will no longer be a smooth sound.

The "real" and "virtual" of sleek singing are very tests of the singer's ability to control the voice. The difficulty of its singing lies in the balance between "virtual" and "real".

The best way to deal with it is to sing it in the real with the virtual, the half-real and the half-virtual, giving people the auditory feeling like the sound is sitting on a slide, sliding up for a while, and sliding down again for a while. This is also where the term "sleek" comes from.

Liu Qi's singing is exactly like this.

His smooth sound handling is very skillful, the half-virtual and half-real sound flows like water from low to high, without a trace of edges and corners, and the end of the note has a little ethereal feeling, which reflects the characteristics of smooth sound very well.

Even Ye Zi nodded secretly for his singing.

There is a second difficulty in singing "The Crooked Moon", that is, the falsetto that Ye Zi and Liu Qi are very good at.

Different from "Cattle Herding at Dusk", the falsetto of the song "The Crooked Moon" does not need to appear suddenly, but it has high requirements for the smoothness of the connection between true and falsetto.

There is also a difference, that is, the falsetto of this song floats on it in the end, and it needs to be supported by a strong breath.

Liu Qi did a good job in both of these points.

The smoothness of the connection between true and falsetto was originally his shortcoming in falsetto singing, but after the semi-finals in Shencheng, Liu Qi stole Ye Zi and put a lot of effort into it, and now he can handle it well.

His breath control is also good, he can meet the requirements of this song, and his voice itself is relatively soft, and the final falsetto singing looks ethereal and ethereal, which is still very charming.

If the requirements are stricter, Liu Qi's falsetto still has some shortcomings. That is, it is blindly soft to the end, and does not add singing strength to it, which sounds beautiful and beautiful, but it gives people a bit of a feeling of floating clouds in the air and rootless wanderers.

In jargon, it is that the falsetto lacks a little "root".

But the flaws are not hidden.

Objectively speaking, Liu Qi's singing is complete and excellent, and he deserves a high score award.

This is the common opinion of Ye Zi and the contestants, but what about the opinions of the judges? (To be continued.) )
