5 On May 17, the singer's second live broadcast ended. It was noted that music blogger "Er Di" wrote an article and published his own comments. He cast his 3 votes for Na Ying, Faouzia and Huang Xuan.
In the article, he commented on the nine singers competing in this competition one by one, and greatly recognized the live performances of Na Ying and Huang Xuan. Provincial version:
1. Bonus points for Na Ying's song selection, which is very suitable for her voice. The arrangement and performance are very good;
2. Huang Xuan is one of the most worthy Chinese musicians to be on "Singer". The song selection this time is very difficult. The sound of the instrument is too loud, but I have no problem with my performance;
3, Hailai Amu is suitable for singing "bitter" songs, which suits his voice very well;
4, Rainie Yang still has problems with her intonation, which will become a difficult problem for her in "Singer" Problem
5. Wang Sulong’s song selection is not good, he doesn’t like the arrangement, and the performance is not ideal;
6. The biggest highlight of “Ode to Sister-in-law” by Secondhand Rose, “Yao Lan’s guitar solo” is missing, which is regrettable;
7. Hanggai Band’s “Reincarnation” TV The effect of the live broadcast was compromised, and the band did not have an advantage;
8 and chanté moore's voices were not in good condition this time, so they sang high notes in order to cater to the Chinese audience;
9 and faouzia made mistakes in one of their high notes, but the tension and energy of their voices were too dominant. .
The following is a quote from the original text of Erdi:
1, chanté moore "superwoman"
I can hear that the sound condition is not very good, the overall voice is a bit mute, the whistle sound is wrong as soon as it comes up, and the completion of the whole song is lower than expected. I I think the main reason is that this elegant and ceremonial arrangement must be countered by a larger and more surging sound shape and a singing method of opening and closing. However, in fact, Chanté Moore does not do this in the record and in live performances in Europe and the United States. She is in a state of wide opening and closing, but she knows what kind of voice appearance the Chinese audience wants from her, so she tries her best to get closer to this strong and powerful state. However, her own voice is a bit hoarse, and she sings too high and too loud. The sound is very cracked, and many of the high notes cannot be called beautiful timbres. So this version is really not as good as the version of "Superwoman" in the small table concert where the sun is clear and the breeze is blowing. The most striking touch of that version is like the dolphin sound of the last note of "human" ejected from high altitude. How so It is eye-catching and distinctive, and it is not shown in this version. But I can feel that Chanté Moore is really putting all her strength and dedication into completing the performance. Although this is not her best voice form, she wants to present a form that the Chinese audience will like. This is her sincerity.
2, Hanggai's "Reincarnation"
once again illustrates that in the live broadcast mode, the band does not have an advantage, and the hearty and full frequency bands of the instruments are not available, and the powerful, shocking and majestic surging of the past is not heard when listening to this song. feeling. Of course, the "Singer" program team should have tried their best and become the best in the country, but they are used to listening to the finely mixed version of "Reincarnation" like "Chinese Good Songs", and suddenly they are listening to this kind of live TV broadcast again. "Reincarnation" has a soft and soft feeling to it, without the feeling of being both majestic, profound, mysterious and philosophical. I was very excited to see the reaction of the audience. Maybe it was a different listening experience, and the number of votes should not be bad, but at least the TV effect did not make my heart beat with excitement.
Between chanté moore and Hang Gai, I don’t know how to choose. In fact, I don’t like either performance. Chanté Moore is because the song arrangement is not suitable for this song, and her voice condition is not good enough; and Hang Gai is because I know how shocking this song is, and I can’t get excited when comparing it, but it may be performed live. The audience will still be shocked. Although I don’t like either performance very much, I still want to watch Chanté Moore next, so I’ll choose Chanté Moore.
3. Wang Sulong's "Flesh and Blood"
Wang Sulong chose an unknown work by Zhu Xiu. The song itself is relatively plain, and its composition and expression are not complicated. The original song uses piano, strings and synthesizers and is relatively light. It is a song that expresses the love of parents. It is not suitable for competition. In fact, I don’t know why Wang Sulong chose this song. Wang Sulong added a backing vocal group and rock elements to adapt the song to be more intense and surging. Maybe it was I want to use flesh and blood to express strong emotions. However, his live performance was average. The low-pitched singing at the beginning was not bad, but after rising to the octave, he made some mistakes and was unstable in many places. I thought he would add rap, but I didn't expect that he would use the form of reciting to complete this part. Maybe The purpose of using recitation is to be more affectionate, but the theme of expressing parental love under the music of this kind of surging harmony group has the listening feeling of a recitation program in a CCTV party. Overall, the song itself is not very good. I don’t like the arrangement of this song very much, and the performance is not very ideal.
4, Huang Xuan's "Alone on the C Floor"
The overall performance is very good. The song itself is quite difficult, like a song "extension" from the famous gypsy jazz song "Minor Swing". I am the first I was surprised when I first heard this song. Is it possible to use traditional jazz as a beat to write songs like modern R&B/neo-soul? It can be said to be unique. This song not only tests vocal skills and rhythm, such as complex vocal range changes, tearing high-pitched mixing, and rhythm changes in the middle of the song, but also tests musicality and musical literacy, such as jazz onomatopoeic style improvisation. Adding up these difficulties, Huang Xuan can complete it to this level, I think it is already very good. However, there are still some problems with the listening experience of this live broadcast. As for this song, the sound of many instruments is too small and the vocals are a bit disconnected. In addition, Huang Xuan has various very off-beat onomatopoeic improvisations and tears in this song. I don’t know if everyone will find it weird with this kind of dry instrumental music, but I know that Huang Xuan’s performance is no problem.
Another more important point is that Huang Xuan is one of the most worthy musicians in the Chinese pop music world of this era who deserves to be listed on "Singer". He has strong arrangement and production skills, outstanding creative talents, solid and flexible vocal skills, Outstanding musical rhythm and r&b/neo-soul/jazz fusion skills, and more importantly, what he makes is pop music that belongs to this era, not outdated pop music. This is so rare on the "Singer" stage .
If I had to choose between Wang Sulong's performance and Huang Xuan's performance, I would choose Huang Xuan.
5. Second-hand Rose "Ode to Sister-in-law"
Second-hand Rose chose "Monkey Playing", a song that the public could not understand. It followed the line of joking, absurdity and irony, but the audience's response was a failure. They may have wanted to express the grass-roots team Finally, we entered the room. We were playing monkeys on the stage and watching the monkey show in the audience. We wanted to take away the competitiveness and seriousness of the game, but it was a pity that the instrumental music of the band was not played during the live broadcast. Therefore, this game immediately turned to the opposite direction, and I chose a song called "Ode to Sister-in-law" that has universal emotions, popular aesthetics, and noble intentions. This song itself is a success in the adaptation of Second-hand Rose. I especially like the original Yao Lan. The guitar solo is very nice to listen to. The solo has a graceful and graceful feminine grace, but also has a long-lasting motherhood and deep love for the land. It fits the image of the northern sister-in-law that is sung very well. But what happened when Yao Lan was not here? ? That guitar solo no longer has that flavor. Although the overall performance is good, I just want to hear the solo part of this song. Without this part, the performance would be a bit useless, which is really a pity.
6, Hailai Amu's "Could It Be"
Putting aside the aesthetic form and style bias, he played well in this performance. Hailai Amu's voice seems to be a fusion of Yang Kun, Wang Feng, and Yi ethnic customs, and mixed with the sinking "car-mounted" "Smoke voice" style voice, Hailai Amu's voice is actually pretty good, especially the mid-bass part, which is magnetic, has personal characteristics, and has good functions, but when it comes to the treble part, he will use a kind of squashed and torn voice. , seems to use phlegm to express emotions in a very exaggerated and excessive way. This method always makes people think of those singers named Tiger, Zhuang, Various Brothers and the like. I occasionally wonder why many singers in that market have such voices. Later, I feel that this singing method may be sincere to them, a kind of rough and exposed style that requires a lot of effort to express themselves. The behavioral inertia of ability and the sound-shaped display of the rough and bitter face of life can infect people with the same or similar life experience, but it may not be able to infect people who do not have this kind of life experience. But in general, this The "bitter" song was well chosen and suited his voice.
7. Rainie Yang's "Songs for No One"
Rainie Yang has a stubborn quality, which has also become a part of her musical personality. She chose "Take Me Away" after her first performance failed. A song that tests both function and singing skills. Did you know that she is as stubborn as she is in the song? Choosing "Song Not Written for Anyone", Rainie Yang wanted to work hard to prove that she can also be a singer, but this is indeed not a song written for Rainie Yang. Although her performance of high notes is better than before, her voice type, In terms of vocal skills, it is still too difficult to excel in singing like this, and the pitch is still not ideal. I always feel on tenterhooks when listening to it. Moreover, this kind of popular song selection in the music variety era of 2016 and 2017 has been sung by various talent-oriented singers, and it no longer has the freshness and personal characteristics. Even if it is sung well, I don’t think the public will understand it. The response was too big, not to mention the singing wasn’t good enough. I think Rainie Yang wants to shine in this show. If she needs to show her emotional and delicate, small and beautiful form, it is difficult to highlight her delicate form in the live broadcast mode, especially the intonation will be a problem. It is really a dilemma. .
8. Na Ying's "Break Free"
Cui Di's "Break Free" is the biggest surprise in this issue's song selection. "Break Free" is a very nice song. I have recommended it many times. It has both urban fascination and synthesizer. The exquisite retro side of the wave, and the rough vitality side of the mainland pop music of the 1990s that exudes a sense of the times and is unique, are very suitable for Na Ying in terms of music style. This song is not easy to sing. Cui Di has sung it impeccably, and the arrangement itself is also impeccable. This version of the arrangement maintains the basis of the original arrangement, but the arrangement is more pop-rock. If Na Ying's singing has to focus on details, the completion level in many places is actually not enough. For example, there are some complicated transitions at the end of many sentences in this song. , such as the most difficult sentence "Exceptionally precious, oh~", the fast ascending scale transition, these Na Ying have omitted, and the bridge part "Flying forward against the wind and waves...", the articulation of that paragraph It's really a bit vague and inflexible. However, Na Ying's voice is really nice, and this song was chosen so well for her taste, and the final arrangement has a very good atmosphere. Her voice amplifies the rough vitality, which is very unique to her. Energy, this song is sung so beautifully that the overall flaws are not concealed. This is a valuable cover.
9, faouzia "set fire to the rain"
This is a full-bodied and hearty song that is purely auditory stimulation. Although there is a mistake in one high-pitched line, the tension and energy of this sound are really dominant, whether it is a live broadcast or a Chinese TV audio variety show They are all suitable for this form. I would have thought, does she have any characteristics of her own when singing this song? But before she had time to think about it, the thought was overshadowed by the tension in her voice.Faouzia is actually a very traditional singer. She was influenced by vocal singers such as Adele, Beyoncé, and SIA. The songs she chose were not only golden songs in talent shows in Europe and the United States, but also golden songs in China. However, she chose These songs are not "special to China". I feel that she really likes these songs. Therefore, they not only fit the aesthetics of the Chinese audience, but also combine knowledge and action with high quality. In fact, she is far from the same level of singers as Chanté Moore. Faouzia is far inferior to Chanté Moore in terms of language, rhythm, musicality, singing style, and personal style. However, in this situation, she performed better than Chanté Moore.
My three votes are for: Na Ying, faouzia, and Huang Xuan.
If I have to put this in order:
t1: Na Ying, faouzia, Huang Xuan
t2: chanté moore, Hang Gai
t3: Hailai Amu
t4: Wang Sulong, Secondhand Rose, Rainie Yang
