Chapter 177, the iceberg princess's conjecture (third update)
Xu Rui was not surprised that Jessica was able to defeat 'Jelly' Yang Chu.
Because many guests, including himself and the guessing jury, also said that 'Jelly' Yang Chu relied too much on his soprano skills, and his simple singing skills faintly evolved into a kind of show-off skills, so it was self-defeating and lost to Jessica.
The second round is starting again.
The order of appearance is 'Ranger' Sha Baoliang, 'Lola' Gigi Leung, and Jessica, who just won the PK with 'Jelly' Yang Chu.
Different from the previous two-by-two comparison, the rules of the second round of the competition are that three singers take the stage to sing a song one after another, and then return to the stage in the last round to vote for the one with the highest number of votes.
At this moment, Sha Baoliang, who was the first of the three singers to appear, had already stood in the center of the stage and started his performance.
If Yang Chu's mistake made Jessica advance to the second round without any suspense, then what is now in front of her is a bloody battle with real knives and guns.
Needless to say, Gigi Leung's fresh female voice has always been very popular with the audience under the stage, which can be seen from her ability to defeat Huang Xiaohu, a veteran in the music world.
And most importantly, if Jessica wants to win the title of singer of the year, then she must first make sure that she can defeat Sha Baoliang, but ...... Is this possible? It's not possible.
Sha Baoliang joined "The Masked Singer" as a fill-in singer from the third issue, and today is his last performance on this stage, it can be said that as long as he fails to achieve the title of today's singer, then there is only one choice waiting for him, that is, to eliminate and leave.
Therefore, today's Sha Baoliang is obviously bound to win the title of 'King of Singers', and Jessica's loss in song selection also limits her development on the stage.
Although no one asked her not to sing Korean songs, it was to show respect for the stage of "The Masked Singer". is also to temporarily hide her identity as Jessica in Girls' Generation, she still chose works that she had never sung publicly before and performed on this stage.
After Sha Baoliang sang the song, it was followed by the performance time of 'Lola' Liang Yongqi. Compared with other singers, Liang Yongqi undoubtedly has more obvious characteristics.
Voice aside, her 176cm height alone is very reminiscent of her true identity, after all, there are not many female singers of this height who can sing, and there are not many people who can sing so well.
"Sika. How sure are you that you'll be able to get the King of Singers? You must know that if you can get this honor in the Chinese program, it can't help but be a commendable thing for you, for the group, and even for our company. ”
In the standby room, Jessica's agent Li Jun whispered.
Because of the relationship between the whole process recorded by the camera, even Jessica's agent is wearing a mask on his face at the moment.
"It's very difficult, the opponents are very strong, we don't have an advantage on this stage, and today's second song is still an English song, and I don't know if the audience at the scene is familiar with it." Jessica's face hidden behind the mask looked very serious.
It's certainly good to be able to win the singer in the first game, but that's not unrealistic. Otherwise, once the final result exceeds your expectations, the huge sense of disparity will definitely affect the subsequent game performance.
......There was a knock on the door, and before Jessica's agent Li Jun stepped forward to open the door, he heard the staff outside the door say in English: "The side stage of 'Iceberg Princess' is ready, and it will be your performance time soon." ”
"Okay." Jessica responded, and then stepped on her high heels and pushed the door out of the waiting room, and returned to the backstage waiting area to wait.
After a while, Liang Yongqi, who had finished the performance, walked down from the stage, and at the same time. Xu Rui went behind the scenes, and then the stage was handed over to Jessica again.
The last song is also a key moment that determines whether she can turn the tide in the first episode of the show.
Soon, "Tim McGarrow" with a distinctly rustic style spread throughout the studio hall through the sound equipment on stage.
Taylor Swift's masterpiece is a quintessential blend of traditional country music and modern country music. The melody is concise and does not have the slightest bit of mud, but even so, this song does require a lot of singing skills from the singers.
There are 72 gentle beats per minute, however, in some specific sections, the registers also span an octave directly. It tests the singer's pitch ability and whether his vocal range is wide.
"You said my blue eyes were twinkling, making those Georgia stars ......" the prelude drifted by, and Jessica's voice appeared in the ears of the hundreds of people in the audience.
I don't know if it's because of her overseas background, Jessica sings this Taylor Swift song very expressively.
And her voice and interpretation of the song have also been adapted to a certain extent compared to the original song, and the most important thing is that this adaptation sounds very natural and smooth, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.
"There are few people in China who sing English so tastefully, who will this be?" At this moment, Sun Nan, who was sitting in the position of the guessing panel, pondered and meditated, and found that there was no figure in his mind that could match the number of the 'iceberg princess' in front of him.
"Is it possible that it is a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer? In general, they like to sing English songs? Dai Jun turned his head to look at Sun Nan beside him and asked his opinion.
"I don't think it's weird if it's a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer who wants to speak English at the end of the first round. This aspect is simply unreasonable. Sun Nan shook his head and expressed his opinion.
"You say...... Is it possible that the program team really invited foreigners?
Now "The Masked Singer" has also been recorded for six episodes, and from the first episode to the present, the lineup of guests is getting stronger and stronger.
Although some of them were well hidden, I still felt that there must have been a lot of old friends among them who participated in this competition. Based on my personal understanding of Xu Rui, it is not impossible for him to do this. ”
Hearing Sun Nan say this, several people from the guessing panel immediately looked at each other and looked at each other.
As Sun Nan said, is it possible for Xu Rui to do this?
The answer, of course, is yes.
Whether it is from the preparation of the show to the later broadcast, it can be said that every step Xu Rui takes is unexpected by ordinary people.
Just like Dai Jun and Li Xiang, two industry insiders in the TV field, they didn't expect the premiere ratings of "The Masked Singer" to reach an astonishing 1.245%.
And from this point of view, it is very intuitive to prove one thing, that is, Xu Rui's eyes are farther than them, and his ideas are more novel than the rest of them.
In short, it means that Xu Rui has been taking a path that no one else can think of from beginning to end, so since this is the case, it is not surprising to think about whether Xu Rui will invite a foreign female singer at this moment.
After all, many of his own ideas have always been different from ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
