Chapter 947: Ascending

"Ethan is a good question, let me explain it to you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Ah U smiled and nodded, facing Chen Yichen's question and the gaze of the other three singers, Ah U seemed to be confident. Thinking about it, it should be like this, it is impossible for the organizers not to take into account such a problem, otherwise it will be really ridiculous and generous.

The four singers all paid attention and listened carefully to Ah U's explanation.

"This song "Two Tigers" has a very narrow vocal range and a simple melody, and I believe that all four of you can sing this song perfectly. So...... How do we decide a winner with such a song? ā€

"It's simple, elevation."

Ah U said with a smile.

As soon as he heard the word "ascending", Ye Zi immediately reacted. Yes, it is very simple, but at the same time, it is relatively fair to select the right two singers who can win the award.

No matter how simple a song is, as the tonality continues to rise, its difficulty will increase exponentially, from a small song that anyone can sing to a big song that only a few people can touch and master. Take this song "Two Tigers" as an example, according to the normal vocal range of male voices, it is generally more appropriate to sing between F and B flats, not high or low, basically anyone can sing freely in this tonal range. The singers eat this bowl of rice, and of course their singing ability is a little stronger, and the tonality can continue to be extended to C or even D. But by this time, the highest note of "Two Tigers", which originally had no difficulty, had reached A or B in the second group of small characters, and it was only a little short of reaching the high note C of the third group of small characters.

At this time, this "Two Tigers" has changed from a small song with a vocal range of only 9 degrees that anyone can easily master, to a big song with the highest note close to the high-pitched C, which is by no means easy for any singer to master.

If you continue to rise, when it comes to E flat, the highest note of the song has already touched the high note C, and there are even fewer singers who can sing freely. Of course, when using E flat, the singer can sing in a lower octave, but the usual singing can be done in this way, and if you compete, this practice will only produce the only result - to eliminate yourself.

The method of "ascending"...... Quite suitable.

……

Some people may question that even if the method of "rising tone" is very reasonable, it only tests whether the singer's vocal range is wide enough, and is it not comprehensive enough to use this method to determine the winner? Isn't it unfair that some singers who are born with a higher key (tonality) will take advantage of it, and those singers who don't have a wide vocal range will be born at a disadvantage? You must know that a singer with a narrow vocal range does not necessarily mean that he cannot sing well. Iglesias has never had a hoarse high note in his singing career, but this has never prevented fans around the world from loving and respecting him, and those singers with a wide vocal range may not be able to sing as well as Zhao Chuan and Lin Zixiang.

Now it's time to select the singers who have won the Silver and Gold Awards, isn't it too hasty to just use such a simple method? Is it tenable? Can it convince the public?

Not...... There is some truth to such doubts, but there is nothing too solid for them.

Singing is a comprehensive art form, and it is true that the breadth of the vocal range can only show part of the singer's strength, but there are a few things that determine that such an approach is the most appropriate at this time.

First of all, the breadth of the vocal range determines the range of songs that a singer can dabble in, which is an important indicator of the singer's comprehensive ability. If you only measure a singer's singing strength by the breadth of the vocal range, or even determine the singer's status in the music world, this is indeed very inappropriate. But if this indicator is used as a threshold for a singer to enter the game in a certain event, there is absolutely no problem.

It's just to set a threshold, this is the right of the organizer, and if the singer wants to participate in this "banquet" and get a share of the benefits, he must abide by the rules set by the organizer and pass this threshold honestly.

If it doesn't work, then there's no way.

When it comes to fairness, it's not particularly fair, but it's enough. With such an obvious standard put there, at least there will be no such disgusting thing as "shady work".

Besides, how can there be so much absolute fairness in the world?

Secondly, the index of vocal range is also the most intuitive indicator, and anyone, even ordinary people who don't know how to sing, can clearly judge the results at the first listen. If you can sing it, you can sing it, and if you can't sing it, there is no way to deceive, and there is no ambiguity in it. This is not like other important details in singing, such as song processing and breath control, which do not have an absolutely intuitive standard put there, and it is difficult to measure them by specific quantitative means. Of course, it is okay for a song to be sung like this, but it must not be said that it must not be sung that way, unless it deviates from the established trajectory of the song itself.

In a very short period of time, it is necessary to determine that two singers will be selected and eliminated, and there is no very clear standard to put there for everyone on the scene to see and hear with their own ears, and that is going to be a big thing. Rather than being accused of "working in the dark" after the fact, the organizers should set a clear standard - even if it is not absolutely fair, and do it openly under everyone's noses.

At least this method will not cause too much trouble to the organizers afterwards, and people who want to find fault are embarrassed to say it. Your singer doesn't meet the threshold we set, so what's there to say?

This line of thinking is also the reason why soprano songs often take advantage of singing competitions. For the judges of the singing competition, there is no danger in choosing a high note, and there will be no worries, after all, there are good reasons to choose. This line of thinking can't be said to be wrong, but like in later generations, any singing competition can't enter the semi-finals without a high note, which is a bit crazy.

……

On stage, all four singers were thoughtful. They all eat this bowl of rice, and everyone can fully understand the "ascending" method that Ah U said when they hear it, and at this time, everyone is quietly weighing the pros and cons of this method for themselves in their hearts.

No one would think this is too simple.

Even Ye Zi, who is the most sure in his heart, is secretly measuring the vocal range of the other two singers. As for Chen Yichen, Ye Zi is completely sure that he can surpass him.

"Brother U, what kind of ascending method, please hurry up and introduce it to us." Chen Yichen has always been the most energetic one, in fact, he is very anxious at this time.

As soon as he heard this method of "raising the tone", Chen Yichen knew that something bad was wrong. The other two candidate singers may not know Ye Zi's singing strength, but Chen Yichen knows too well, he knows that he can't compare with Ye Zi in this collision of absolute strength. In other words, as soon as this "ascending" method came out, although it seemed that there were still four singers competing for two seats, in fact, Ye Zi had already obtained a ticket steadily, and Chen Yichen himself had to compete with Lu Jiajun and Zhang Zhilin for the remaining one.

How could he not be in a hurry?

Offstage, the look on Wenhui's face remained unchanged, but he was quietly relieved in his heart. Like Chen Yichen, she is convinced of Ye Zi's singing strength, and as soon as such a plan comes out, Lantai Wenhui has every reason to be convinced that Ye Zi's award is a certainty.

A smile faintly hung on the corner of Wenhui's mouth.
