…… People are different, for example, someone is seventy or eighty years old and still goes to the Spring Festival Gala to pretend to be a little lark little nightingale and a little pheasant or something, and I don't know if it's really singing or falset-singing, anyway, the human pestle is an immortal myth there, but, Chou Dong's voice is obviously older than his people, of course, others also age very quickly, I have an 11.52g super era concert video, and I don't dare to look at him laughing at the close-up. Anyway, it was much inferior to his voice at the time when he opened the Little Dome. At that time, he sang an excuse and sang, but he only frowned twice. Not to mention the thousands of turns when he sang cute women when he first debuted, do you really doubt that is the voice control that a twenty-one-year-old should have? Now, there is also a song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" sung during the Spring Festival Gala, everyone should be able to hear it, the voice is not only dry, but even the breath pitch has obvious problems. In this case, you can ask him again why the electronic music is still electronic, it depends on whether you want to listen to the noise, the broken sound, or the electronic sound.

Of course, I don't think the electronic music of "Mai Mai" should not be enough, the only guess has to be that this is a signal of the opening of the electronic music era.

Among these five albums, I think there are two other places where the decline in singing skills can be clearly heard. One is the shadow puppet show "sing it casually and change it into a classic that has been passed down from generation to generation", that is, Jiehei's so-called "eunuch sound", is the eunuch who sang Huo Yuanjia the same eunuch? Huo Yuanjia sang like water, and he knew everything about it. In other words, Jay Chou's most distinctive thing is being eroded away step by step by time, like before, I hate k his song the most, singing the broken strings at the end of the day, and suddenly the sentence "I suddenly failed to laugh~". Paralysized, I can only laugh in failure and embarrassment, off-topic ha.

There is also "How Are You", "Lonely", "Time and Space", "Light Years", so reluctantly. The boundary between shooting and not shooting, the edge of breaking and not breaking, I can hear me sweat for him. All kinds of states are not good. In fact, if you think about it, don't understand it, and I feel particularly heartbroken that Jay Chou holds so many concerts in a year, and there are so many things every day, irregular sleep, jet lag that can't be adjusted, and occasionally a cup of Yoremi to nibble on two sips of Cobik, how irreparably this qiē destroys a good voice. Do not say.

So, these five songs, better, well, almost all of them, are in the category of saliva songs, because the more saliva, the easier they sing, and this can more or less complete an album. That's the bottom line. Of course, when I say this, I really don't want to see some second-class people saying that Jay Chou's singing skills are not good, and they can't speak clearly. You're all stupid dogs who don't have an opinion and only know how to go along with it.

How to define good singing skills? For example, Faye Wong and Eason Chan have good singing skills. I don't dare to have any dissenting opinions, and the source of their word-of-mouth is nothing more than the interpretation of the song, which everyone thinks is awesome. The same song "Said Goodbye", if the e god sings it, it is a matter of nine times out of ten that Dong Zhou will be defeated, but what if it is a song in the name of his father and William Castle?

I tell you that Fort William was actually originally sung to Eason Chan. I'm guessing you'd be surprised. Things have to start five hundred years ago, Dong Chou wrote this song and sang it to e God, saying that it was the theme song of vampires, sing it well. But Eason Chan was the spokesperson for the city's hard-pressed men and women 500 years ago - the same as it is now, so he went. A mouth, yes, Duke William died of depression in a few days. Eason Chan was unwilling, so he went to someone's grave and sang it again, yes, people's graves will not grow a single inch of grass in the coming year. From then on, he gave the nickname "Chopping the Grass Roots", and Aunt Baiyun's "One Cut Plum" and called black and white. Later, at the strong request of everyone, this song was changed to be performed by Dong Chou. The story is such a story, and the meaning is understood.

Let's talk about arrangement. This thing is very subjective, because different people's brain structure or aesthetic taste is often different, some people are used to accepting concise, clear, clean things, so he thinks that a guitar or a piano is enough, but some, such as me, on the contrary, love the impact of rich elements and strong effects. According to my standards, that is, under the condition of abundant elements, the sense of hierarchy is the passing line of the standard of good and bad, the importance of clarity is like the number of ways to knit a sweater, and the end of random knitting is a flower you can weave into a piece of. Secondly, if you are very imaginative, you should give it four or five stars. For example, the magical ping-pong sound in Mr. Hong Jingyao's masterpiece "Three Years and Two Classes" not only did not choke with the drum beat inside, but beautifully picked up the listener's ears, what is this, attainment!

But what do you think is a truly imaginative arrangement?

My answer is that the best arrangement is the one that is always competing with the "vocal track" for the right to speak. Go listen to "In the Name of the Father", a god-level arrangement. From the low prayers, the strings that metaphorize tragic fate, the cold howls of the hands and feet, the semi-oppressive drum beat, and the indescribable string-like and whimpering sound that loops from beginning to end, the most amazing thing is that in the middle of the MV, Jay threw a gun from the car, the car drove to the church, and pushed the door open, accompanied by a sad and calm piano and the sound of a woman singing, the camera showed the Virgin Mary and the Aunts who were frescoed to the church, ha, do you think Jay's soul will be baptized because of this? The camera suddenly flashed back to Jay's frightened eyes back then, when the singing reached its climax, the gunshots rang out, and the sound of salvation was blown away, it was too terrifying!

If you look closely, you can't tell whether the arrangement is cooperating with the MV, or the MV is telling the "depth" of the arrangement!!

And this is the arrangement from Mr. Hong Jingyao! Since "Chopin in November", he has basically not composed music. There are only Lin Mike, Huang Yuxun, Cai Kejun's guitars and Zhong Xinmin's strings to support, it is true that these guys are also god-level figures, but if you are sincere, they are just a calf in front of Mr. Ayao, and they don't want to do anything! Calling for the return of Teacher Yao! Far from it.

"Ecstasy", very bitten.

When I first heard it, I thought that Teacher Ayao had returned, but when I heard it carefully, it was either Huang Yuxun or Lin Maike, and it was said that these two people tried their best to imitate the talent of their old friends. This timbre feels extremely weird, even funny, netizens jokingly call it "Arabic style", but before criticizing it, please ask yourself what your attitude and ability to accept new things are! Others are decent, you say that people don't want to make progress. Come to a little bit of real sex and don't have this taste.,Go listen to the anus and anus.。 I, specially, specially, persistently. of, deep, love, this, weird, strange.

"Shadow Puppetry", not bad. The very foreign and Chinese style at the beginning can also be combined, this is the first time. It's okay, give me some encouragement. It is always said that people do not innovate.

"Mai Mai", it's okay. The rhythm is a bit similar to that of a cute woman, a little slower than that of a cute woman.

"How are you", it's okay. Teacher Zhong Xinmin wants to break through "Dad, I'm Back" and "The Last Battle" is a little difficult, and the inspiration is used up.

Exclamation Point ,......。 Combined with the end of this article, let's analyze it. The siren was from the police, or was it an emergency. Or is it firefighting?

Talk about lyrics.

"Ecstasy", with music Sception, cool. Something with an idea deserves the word.

"Shadow Puppetry", tradition, you don't need to watch it to know that it is a special tradition, but. In one word, cow. Students who are not convinced write an essay on this topic, or try to change one or two words in it, if you can do it better, then you are two words. Awesome. Some people say that "singing and doing joy, anger and sorrow, let your mother twist it" is nonsense, shit, stupid thing, this is said in the first person with shadow puppetry!! And imagine yourself as one of the shadow puppet characters!! The one who manipulates you to create your character is "Mom"!! Sing and do joy, anger and sorrow, let your mother twist it!!

"Mai Mai", Ha, Jaylen. There are always one or two sentences of Jay's words that burst brightly.

"The novels I write are simply blank nights."

reminds me of a sentence in "Peninsula Iron Box": "Reduced to beauty." ”

reminds me of a sentence in "Sunny Day": "I think of the petals and try to fall." ”

Jay Lun belongs to the kind of modern poet who has occasional good sentences and does not explain.

"How are you", it's okay. This song is okay with everything. Shouldn't this be sung by the bitter man Eason Chan? I'm depressed, again.

Exclamation Point ,......。 I always want to follow the exclamation point with an ellipsis.

Talk about composition. I don't have any experience in composing, so I'm sure I'll be laughed at, so I'm just talking about it from the perspective of a pure fan and a pure listener.

I must admit that every time I listen to Jay Chou's new song, I will never guess the melody of the next sentence, but every time I hear the next sentence, I want to pat my head and say: That's right, I should have guessed it a long time ago, Jay Chou fucking composed music like this.

This is probably Jay Chou's composition style, and all Jay fans understand.

It's basically like that, it's unprofessional, it's talking about it as a fan. In general, I hit Samsung. If it weren't for the existence of "Exclamation Point", it would have been awarded four stars. I really don't want to talk about it, it's the title song again, its status on the album is more like the status of "Superman Can't Fly" in "Cross Era", you say that "Superman" should be the best summary or commemoration of this decade for Jay or Jay fans, right? However, here comes the problem, emotionally speaking, the song is very meaningful and should be loved by everyone; But intellectually speaking, the melody and singing tone of this broken song don't even have a sparkle as big as a boogers, and something that needs to be emotionally maintained is so sadly pestled there, to make an inappropriate analogy, just like on the tenth wedding anniversary, my own girl inexplicably wore the wedding dress that was moldy and smelly and dirty because she pressed the bottom of the box for too long, and she approached and asked: "Honey, am I beautiful today?" ”

While eating, inexplicably, I suddenly wanted to accidentally knock over a candle and burn her. That's how it feels.

I still remember that Huang Junlang once told Jay Lun earnestly that you used to receive information constantly, but you have been so busy in the past few years, and the time to recharge is no longer enough.

Later, Jay Chou left a note on Huang Junlang's desktop and said, Ah Lang, in fact, I am really moved by what you said, but don't forget, I am really hanging.

Of course, whether you believe this or not, I don't believe it anyway. It wasn't until "Exclamation Point" that Jay Chou took out four songs, including "Shadow Puppet Play", "Ecstasy", "Piano Injury", and "Sailor Afraid of Water", that I felt, alas, the of the year was not blown in vain.

But saying this seems that I am a special gunner, in fact, I really have no intention of praising "Exclamation Point" as a masterpiece, I just think that because of the existence of these four songs, the score of "Exclamation Point" should be above the passing line anyway.

As for the style of the whole album, I personally don't like it at all, because in my eyes, this is a modern industrial record that has been played too much with electronics, and I personally hate electronic elements. Except for the electric sound of the thunderous people, let's not talk about it. When arranging the music of the team, Lin Michael and his ilk often add a lot of bass, electric ji, and some electronic elements that are probably made of software sound sources. This Nima is more painful, always a "cheap and cheap" electronic tone in the back, how unimaginative. But I've listened to it a few more times, and now I think it's pretty good, such as "The Goddess of Supercars". It can only be said that our ears are often like this, and the "cheap" ones are used to things that they are not used to.

I still remember that in the earliest days, Jay Chou rarely used bass, but Wang Leehom had a soft spot for bass, but Wang always played with no characteristics, and the timbre of the "scum and scum" he made was no different from those second-rate bass players in the speakeasy.

This time, because of the addition of the bass, I was listening to "The End of the World" and clearly heard the feeling of "All the Way North". These two songs are good, but I compare them with "The End of the World", and in an instant you can feel that "Not the End" is worse than "The End of the World" in terms of style, but there is no way, the bass is really difficult to play in style, if you want to blame, go to blame the arrangement.

The arrangement of the whole album is so weak that people don't have the mood to talk about it at all, and the four songs I just talked about are relatively good. In contrast, the most prominent is "Sailors Are Afraid of Water" written by Jay Lun himself. The piano play completely shocked me, and "Death to the War" was nothing more than that, right?

The most shining thing about the whole album is actually the lyrics. Although Jay Chou's words are still at the level of a poet of saliva. However, the more sincere the words he wrote, the more I ignored the professionalism of the lyrics themselves. What does his appearance look like this time, like a child, the kind in love. has a strong desire to talk, and can't wait to open his heart. Make your attitude clear. Listening to "Peninsula", "Sunny Day", "Rainbow", and "Black Sweater" before, you feel that Jay is nothing more than lyrical about a virtual lover, so, it seems to have a kind of artistic height. But this time it felt completely different, you see the way he muttered. There are also some saliva words, like coaxing children, coaxing and coaxing, and suddenly a sentence, "If you suddenly want a good marriage, my castle says welcome", the meaning is obvious, this is a pickle album.

Then in order to show that there is no generation gap with a beautiful post-90s classmate, "Sailors Are Afraid of Water" is here! It's my favorite style, what do you mean by "rot"? I don't like singers like Eason Chan who have a bitter and hateful face at every turn, how much do you want to be dissatisfied to put on this kind of tone! How many women have you been cuckolded to pretend to be heartbreaking! So I obsessively like friends who "pretend to be tender", and I also like the album "Cowboy is Busy", when you listen to those lively and provocative notes, you will feel that the original youth can be a little longer, a little longer.

In addition, we can draw some conclusions from the posters of "Sailors Are Afraid of Water": first, a post-90s child likes to be tempted by uniforms; The second is that Jay Chou and "Wang Baoqiang" are good friends.

The only one that can be comparable to the lyrics of "Sailors Are Afraid of Water" is Fang Wenshan's "Piano Injury". In fact, I really want to pick up two sentences to worship with everyone, but I suddenly found that this can't be done, because this word is not a classic because of a few sentences, it itself is a beautiful whole, it is a real beauty in one go, I can't take off any sentence, just like I can't cut off Venus** for everyone to lust together, alone**, Sister Kong is much stronger than Venus.

At first glance, I concluded that this must be Jay Chou's lyrics, because probably only a "vulgar person" like Jay Chou would reveal his love for the beauty of the car so unabashedly...... But after learning the truth, my outlook on life collapsed decisively.

If art really comes from life, then "The Goddess of Supercars" can draw three conclusions:

First, Brother Wenshan's girl is very positive.

The second is that men are all the same. I don't believe in love anymore.

The third is that literary and artistic young people observe carefully, laymen like us remember the bust and face after seeing the beauties, and Brother Wenshan has gone from curved eyelashes to smoky makeup, from shiny lipstick to nails painted on the heart, and of course there are some more important indicators, such as long legs and short skirts...... It can be said that this method of observation is very realistic, very rigorous, from top to bottom, from the surface to the inside. It's worth promoting.

Talking about composition again? I really don't. But I have a small discovery, Jay Chou has been missing a lot of the kind of casual rap recently. This is probably due to the last plagiarism incident last year.

I remember that at that time, "Healing Roast Meat Dumplings" was written and recorded very early, and then I specially copied a few copies and sent them to many famous musicians such as Xiaosong, Xiaoxiao, Xiao Wang, Xiaofeng, Xiao Chopsticks, and Little Brother for appreciation. However, there is a passage in it that is sung in rap that gets into trouble, as follows:

He didn't listen to me and pestered me for several years

When you are wronged, I will lend you to lean on your shoulder, and I will not take your money

When you think about it, you won't be red-eyed anymore

I'll show you what a lover of Zhenggang is

First of all, Teacher Xiaoxiao found out, because this is too similar to her "animal husbandry punk classic" - the rap in "Love Trading". As follows:

Betraying your love forces you to leave

My tears also fell when I saw you in pain

I have betrayed your love and I have a debt of conscience

No matter how much you give, you can't buy it back

For this reason, all mainland musicians have strongly condemned: Friends on the other side of the sea, how long will you be obsessed with the road of no return in imitating, borrowing, quoting, and plagiarizing mainland music works? You can't be ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable to this extent!

Under pressure, Zhou finally changed "rap" to "sing", and the mainland music critics believe that this is a collective victory for the people. And Xiao Zhou was able to change his mistakes because he knew his mistakes, and his spirit was commendable, so he was qualified to be nominated for a Golden Melody Award. to encourage. It's called tolerance, you know.

Finally, I remember reading the comments and some friends reminded me that I could still comment on the harmony, but what is there to comment on the harmony of this album? If it's an album like "Jay" where more than half of the tracks are in R&B, then harmony is really a key part, so you listen carefully. Does "Jay" often make you feel like there are several Jay Chou performing together? This is not surprising, as I said before. No matter how you play R&B, the purpose must be to show the charm of the singer's voice and make the whole song not boring.

But the album "Exclamation Point" obviously doesn't need much magical harmony, just a casual harmony where it should be, and a little more of the part of singing love songs. Still, there's a lot of harmony in something like Ecstasy. Jay Chou uses a singing method that is close to talking in a dream, and I am not used to listening to it, but after reading the lyrics, I understand the theme of this song, and I have to say, grass. It's really not a mess! This also shows that Jay Chou did have an intention when he made this album, although this so-called "intention" is closer to a genius's "instinct".

As for the kind of harmony back then, you don't know how much effort Jay Chou put into it, not only meticulous, but also varied, it is impossible to prepare casually and go to the recording studio to change the tune casually. However, there was a real need for this back then, because the previous arrangement methods were not as rich as they are now, and if there was a lack of good harmony, the whole song would feel empty. Now it's different, the current arrangers have evolved to the point where they don't think about the instrument at all, they think about the frequency band, then they think about the mixing part, and then they think about music theory, so even if they don't have the most perfect harmony, they can stuff it with things in various frequency bands that make you feel "rich". Times are different.

However, today's pop music, many songs that listen to very "pleasant" sounds, basically still have great harmonies, for example, Soda Green's "Little Love Song", I was really moved when I listened to the accompaniment tape, and immediately used audition software to intercept Wu Qingfeng's natural harmony as a mobile phone ringtone, which is definitely popular.

Overall, the last six songs are not bad, I'll give it four stars, plus the three stars of the first five songs, a total of seven stars. But the website doesn't have seven stars, so I'll give it five stars. That's how brain-dead fans are counted.

At the end of the article, I always want to write two sensational sentences to disgust everyone, but think about it, let's accumulate some virtue.

……

Du Xinghe couldn't help but smile when he saw the end, he could experience the helplessness of a masterpiece fan from this author's heart. (To be continued......) R1292
