Chapter 278 American Super Forte
On Tuesday, the night of the quarter-finals, the lights were bright and the voices were buzzing.
"Welcome back to Supervoice, this is host Ryan Seacrest."
"Today, the game has entered the countdown stage, and every player will try their best to get the ticket to the final. Eight players will continue to bring us wonderful performances, but only six People can advance to the next round."
"The outcome of all this depends on you!"
Ryan swayed passion on stage, and the audience screamed in unison.
"So far, Adam's team has performed the strongest. All four players have remained in the competition. They are Sally, Bertha, Nadia and Grace. Among them, Sally has won three consecutive championships. , the other three players are not inferior, and all four of them have easily advanced to the quarterfinals with considerable advantages."
"In addition, the Farrell team also has two players who have advanced to the quarterfinals. They are Kunna and Bradley. This pair of heart-to-heart couples have also come here hand in hand. They have the advantage of one plus one greater than two."
"Finally, Rachel from Team Blake and Jacob from Team Christina were also part of the final eight, and both mentors had high hopes for them, and they've clearly proven themselves."
Following Ryan's words, eight contestants appeared on the half-air terrace next to the stage, waving to the audience.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Sally!"
"Nadia!"
"Rachel!"
"..."
The audience shouted out the names of each contestant excitedly.
"So, first of all, let's invite the first player tonight." Ryan looked at the instructor's seat, "Adam, who will be the first player of your team?" Among the eight players who advanced, Team Adam accounted for Halfway through, this top eight matchup can also be said to be a round-robin competition between Team Adam and other teams to a certain extent, and it is understandable that the players of Team Adam will play first.
"Bertha." Adam replied without thinking.
"Okay, let's give Bertha a round of applause!"
Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, the blond girl with a playful ponytail walked up quickly.
"Good evening, Bertha." Ryan greeted the girl cordially.
"Good evening, Ryan." Bertha curled her lips and waved slightly to the audience from time to time.
"This is your first start, isn't it?" Ryan asked with feigned curiosity. "Does this make you nervous?"
"Of course not." Bertha shook her head lightly, and did not give any additional explanations like other contestants.
"Okay." Ryan nodded, "So, what song will you bring us tonight?"
""Somewhere Only Know"." Bertha replied.
The brisk and lively piano prelude soon sounded in the venue.
"iwalkedacrossemptyland/
iknewthepathwaylikethebackmyhand/
ifelttheearthbeneathfeet/
sattheriver and madeplete..."
If we say that what this song originally wanted to express is the feeling of the past and the longing to return to the original melancholy, just like the original singer performed, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, feeling deeply tired, I hope to be able to throw away all worries , start again, and find your true love; then, in Bertha’s version, there is no such boredom and bewilderment of the world, only a free state of mind that fully enjoys and accepts freely. She is like a woman who does not eat The lakeside fairy with fireworks in the world is curious about everything in the world, but she is not troubled by it, so she is always detached from these troubles and chases everything she wants.
"this could the end everything/
sowhydon't go/
sowhydon't go/
somewhere only know..."
For Bertha, even if the game ends at this moment, she doesn't care.
In this competition, she has found something more important than the competition itself.
She discovered her true dream, determined her musical path, and found a lifelong friend.
In the quiet and beautiful music, Bertha thought of her warm castle-like home, the forest, the meadow, and her secret garden.If possible, after the game, she really wanted to take her friends to her little world.They can sit together, recall what they have experienced together, talk about everything in the game easily, make wishes under the stars, and look forward to a bright future together.
"sowhydon't go/
somewhere only know..."
In that pure song like an elf, everyone seems to have experienced a natural baptism, forgetting the busyness, toil and exhaustion of the world, and just want to join hands with the one they love and go to the place only they know, That piece of spiritual pure land that belongs to two people, where they can get real peace...
At the end of the song, Bertha bowed slightly to the audience.
The audience was silent, and the audience was immersed in their own beautiful world, unable to wake up for a while.
It wasn't until the first person applauded and woke up the others that everyone suddenly woke up and gave their biggest applause.
"Blake, what do you think of Bertha's performance tonight?" Ryan, who returned to the stage, asked the mentors beside him.
"'Very Bertha'." Blake said with a smile, "Whether it is the selection of songs or singing, we have seen a distinct Bertha style - simple, beautiful and lively tunes, sincere and straightforward, natural to carve The singing style, which cannot be imitated by others, is also the most touching part of Bertha. She is born with this kind of temperament, different from popular customs, not afraid of people's words, as if no matter what happens, she is Bertha and will never Bertha, who changes herself for other people, is really cool."
"Thank you, Blake, you are cool too." Bertha liked Blake's evaluation of herself very much, so she rarely showed a bit of playfulness and said, "It's only a little bit worse than Adam, really, only a little bit."
"Hey..." Blake was still very happy when he heard the first half, but when he heard the second half, a smile froze on his face.
"Hahaha, Bertha, that's very well said!" Adam was overjoyed, laughing and applauding his contestants at the same time, "However, sometimes you can't speak too bluntly, you know, some people always It’s not accepting reality, even if it’s the truth.”
"Hey, Adam, who do you think can't accept the reality?" Bray said with a downcast face, but there was no sullenness in his words-this kind of bickering was a daily routine between him and Adam, and neither of them would take it seriously , only as an adjustment to the game.
"How do I know, it's not me who can't accept the reality." Adam spread his hands and said innocently.
"..." Blake let out a breath slowly, and decided to skip the snarky humanoid creature beside him—it was sad to say that, when it comes to bickering, Blake seldom wins against Adam, unless Christina and Farrell give He chimed in.But sometimes, even the three of them together can't beat Adam, who is so full of reason, and it's a sad story.
"So, Christina?" Ryan looked at the other mentor.
"As Blake said, Bertha played 'very Bertha' tonight." Christina agreed with Blake's statement, "In fact, as the game progresses, we will find that sooner or later the players , will form their own unique performance style. Some contestants have realized this very early on, and will consciously perfect their singing style; there are also contestants who are always exploring different paths, and it is not until a long time later that they decide what they want to take the way.
Just like now, Bertha's personal style has gradually become clear, as long as it is a song she chooses, people can always hear it immediately.Just like many singers nowadays, they will also try many different songs, pop, jazz, rock, folk, but no matter the tune, they will set their own brand, so that the audience can immediately distinguish it.
To be honest, I think Bertha still has a long way to go in honing her singing skills. For example, in this song, I can point out several places where she did not handle it so smoothly. Of course, this This kind of flaw is natural and suitable for Bertha's style, but I think that if possible, the singer should show his unique style after dealing with the technical issues of the whole song.However, on the road of exploring my own music style, I think Bertha is on the right path. Congratulations, Bertha. "
"Thank you, Christina." Bertha nodded to Christina in thanks.
Afterwards, Adam and Farrell also had their say, and then Bertha faced her opponent for this round.
—Bradley, Team Farrell.
Bertha was no stranger to Bradley, and Bradley was no stranger to her.
It can be said that the two sides had an intersection very early in this game.In the duel in the group, Bradley was almost eliminated by Kunna. Afterwards, Bradley was unwilling to fail. With his teammates in the group all facing Kunna, he desperately sought support from outside the team. Finally, Sally was moved by him, and with the support of Sally's leader and Bertha, Grace and others, Bradley was able to breathe, and was lucky to stay. However, I don't know how long this luck can last. ...
However, in any case, for Bradley, this time, his competition situation should not be so severe. After all, compared with Sally, Bertha is a much "cuter" opponent in any level.
Of course, this ease is only relative.Judging from the results of the last game, his public support rate is not optimistic. As Kunna once described, the phenomenon of skyrocketing popularity after the two made it public did not happen.It's not that Bradley couldn't understand, after all, his last round was Sally, but this result still made him somewhat anxious.
This time, he must show his housekeeping skills, otherwise, the fans attracted by the two of them will all go to Kunna's camp, and he will get nothing, but just a stepping stone for others. Absolutely not what he wanted!
Bradley's song tonight is "coughsyrup,"
Under the seemingly lively tune, this song is full of decadence and negativity, which is the complete opposite of Bertha's songs.
This song is from the perspective of a drug addict. He is addicted to cough syrup and cannot extricate himself. Shout out "one more syrup" "one more syrup".The rhythm of the whole song is cheerful, but the hidden darkness and despair in it make people shudder.
As a weather-beaten social person, Bradley really understands this seemingly bright but helpless reality.Therefore, his performance is really impeccable, and the instructors are full of praise, thinking that tonight he has definitely performed exceptionally well.
The next group of contestants to take the stage one after the other is Nadia and Rachel.
Both of them are gentle and considerate people who think about others. Even though there is a huge difference in age, the things they have experienced together and the people they have fought side by side have made them feel sympathetic to each other. In this competition Established a sincere friendship.Regrettably, at this moment, the two had to stand on opposite sides, fighting hard to defeat the enemy in front of them in order to qualify—this is a competition, a cruel competition.
The only luck for Rachel in this showdown is that Nadia isn't the last opponent she wants to face.Four of the top eight are from the Adam team, and she is bound to face the players of the Adam team. This is a completely predictable result.But as long as it is not Sally and Grace, she has the courage to defeat each other - the former stood up for her when she first came to the competition, the loneliest and most helpless, and the latter was the most speechless in this competition Not talking about friends, the two even made an agreement to continue working hard together after the game. In any case, she really didn't want to stand in front of them as an opponent.
So, that's good enough, at least Nadia, not Sally, and not Grace.
Rachel said to herself.
In the face of the tough competition, both Nadia and Rachel unreservedly showed their best sides.
Nadia won the praise of the instructors with a song "heartbreaker" by Pe Benata. The passionate tune made the audience fall into a rock frenzy.
Afterwards, Rachel responded with a sincere and moving song "overyou". It is worth mentioning that this song was co-written by Rachel's mentor Blake and his wife Miranda, and performed by Miranda alone song.In fact, when this song was written, Blake's father had just passed away, and Blake wrote this song out of the memory of his father and his brother who died young, perhaps because this feeling is too He was worried that he would not be able to perform the song well, so he asked Miranda to sing it alone and included it in Miranda's solo album.
At this time, when Rachel was interpreting the song on stage with a gentle and moving voice, Blake's eye circles were slightly red, and he had to hide it with his hands crossed on his face. Adam, Christina, and Fari All of them knew the background of the song and what it meant to Blake. The three of them stepped down from their seats and gave Blake a deep hug.
In such a warm atmosphere, the confrontation between Nadia and Rachel came to an end.
Whether it is the audience or the mentor, it is difficult to say who performed better.
At the scene, the voices of Nadia and Rachel were even more equal.
It can only be said that this duel is destined to be judged by more people.
The fifth player to play is the hottest Kunna at the moment.
Because of her relationship with Bradley, Kunna's popularity on the Internet is the same for a while, and maybe only Yili can compete with her.This is also the first time that Kunna has experienced the feeling of being under the spotlight, the feeling that someone cares about every move, and countless people reply to every message.
If she hadn't been telling herself in her heart that the competition is the most important thing, and the popularity has to be converted into votes, Kunna would have been in a trance for a long time, and she didn't know where she was.But even so, seeing her increasing number of fans, Kunna still felt unreal and extremely excited.
Thinking that this was the treatment that Sally had always enjoyed, Kunna became more envious and jealous of that girl.
I will definitely defeat her!
In the finals, use your popularity to tell her that the one who can have the last laugh is the real winner!
Kunna said this to herself, and then, amid Ryan's invitation, stepped onto the stage that belonged to her at this moment.
"Welcome, Kunna." Ryan looked at her with a smile, "What song are you going to sing tonight?"
"Beyoncé's "listen"." Kunna replied without thinking, "I think she is a role model for all of us women, and also a role model for me in life. I very much hope to perform her songs in the competition."
For Kunna, Beyoncé has achieved the pinnacle of a woman, whether it is her personal career or the choice of a spouse.
If possible, she also hopes that she can be like Beyoncé. On the one hand, she can become a trend-leading music icon, and on the other hand, she can marry a big man who is also important in the industry, and her family and career will have a good harvest.If Bradley can't meet her expectations in the future, Kunna will definitely throw him off without hesitation and look for her new prey.After all, they are originally a cooperative relationship in the game, aren't they?
"Okay, then let's welcome Kunna's "listen"."
Ryan didn't talk much, and quickly gave the stage to Kunna.
As one of Beyoncé's masterpieces, more than one contestant has sung this song.
The song itself has a variety of tunes, and the lyrics are deep and soulful. The whole song has a lot of room for interpretation. As long as the contestants can interpret the song appropriately, it is not too difficult to advance.Therefore, this song is also called the Divine Comedy by many people. Even Yili had considered singing this song before, but in the end she chose another song that was more meaningful to her.
There are many similar songs, all of which are full of ups and downs, full of emotions, and require players to perform with all their heart, such as p!nk's "try" sung by Yili, such as jessiej's "pricetag". so it is.
Therefore, Kunna chose this song this time, and it can be seen that she is bound to win the promotion!
This round, she also came to win!
"listen.../
to the song here my heart/
amelodyi start but can't plete..."
Kunna recalled her excitement and joy when she first participated in this competition.
She firmly believes that she will shine in this competition!
The reality has also proved this point. From the initial audition to the current quarter-finals, she has become more and more popular, and she has become more and more stable in this competition. Now, everyone is listening in the audience For her song, everyone is cheering and applauding her, everyone is shouting her name, and all of this is achieved bit by bit by herself!
At the end of the song, Kunna's eyes were incredibly bright.
She felt she was doing well, and the comments from her mentors borne it out.
Every instructor thinks that she has performed at her due level, even if there are slight flaws, it is harmless, especially this is such a deep and difficult song, and the original singer is almost god-like Beyoncé. Basically, by displaying her strength, Kunna has fully proved herself!
Kunna enjoys the appreciation of her mentors, and from time to time returns a humble thank you. Looking at the eager faces of the audience, she almost has the illusion that victory is within her grasp.
Maybe it's not an illusion, sooner or later, she will have the victory in her pocket!
Kunna's good mood lasted for a long time, until Adam sent out the players in his team again——
"Let's applaud Sally!" Ryan repeated Adam's choice loudly.
"Sally!" "Sally!" "Sally!" The cheers of the audience suddenly rose to a higher level. It was a frantic shout that Kunna couldn't get when she sang the climax of the song.And the other party just made an appearance, no, she didn't even make an appearance, she just stood behind the door and got such a warm welcome!
Hearing that dreadful name, Kunna's heart sank suddenly.
That was the opponent she was least willing to face, but she would have to face it sooner or later.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would meet her face to face so soon.
The tall and slim figure was getting closer and closer, and Kunna's heart was getting heavier and heavier.
"Good evening, Sally."
Ryan greeted the other party happily, but the familiar smiling face became more and more obtrusive in Kunna's eyes.
"Good evening, Ryan."
Yi Li replied with a smile, then turned her head and nodded politely to Kunna.
Kunna froze her body, pursed the corners of her mouth, reluctantly nodded to the other party, and responded.
"Before you start your performance, how do you think Kunna is doing tonight?" Ryan asked provocatively.
However, to be honest, the relationship between Yili and Kunna does not need him to provoke, it has long been incompatible.
But the two have always been very restrained and didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so they have never turned against each other in front of others. From the perspective of those who don't know the inside story, maybe the relationship between the two is not bad—considering the relationship between Isaac and Jay Given Kunna's performance in the husband incident, it is not surprising that passers-by have such misunderstandings. Perhaps this can be called a plastic contestant.
"I think she performed very well. We all know that Kunna is a very capable player." Yili smiled and winked at the audience, as if jokingly said, "But I will perform better OK, isn't it?"
"Cool, does this mean launching a challenge?" Ryan's eyes lit up, obviously satisfied with Yili's answer.
What's the point of flattering each other in a regular manner? Of course, this kind of subtle provocation is more interesting!
I believe not only him, but the audience must also be excited!
Sure enough, as soon as Ryan finished speaking, the audience in the audience booed, and the voices of "Sally" and "Sally" were endless, with Kunna's name interspersed occasionally, but they were quickly drowned out. In Sally's wave.
At this moment, Kunna on the side has completely become the background board. She is extremely embarrassed, but she can't just escape back to the stage. She can only forcefully show a decent smile. Only she knows that her nails It was deeply caught in the palm of her hand, it was very painful, but it made her sober - the current Sally is something she can't fight against!But the situation will never go on like this. It won't be long before her popularity will surpass the other party's. Just give her a chance, just give her a chance...
"Well, maybe."
Yili gave an ambiguous but affirmative answer.
After all, she doesn't want to tear up the face with the other party right now, but she also doesn't want to get along too harmoniously with the other party. Whether it's with her or Kunna, when they meet, it's best to politely show the other party a smirk. They can't do more.
"Okay, so what's the song you're going to sing tonight?"
Ryan also gave up as soon as he saw it, and didn't chase after it hard, but for the audience, this little excitement was enough.
In front of the TV, many people sat up straight, looking at the stage with bright eyes, waiting for what kind of performance Yili would use to slap Kunna in the face - after saying such words, do not show The audience will not be satisfied with the real stuff.
""thousandyears"." Yili replied.
***
"heartbeatsfast/
colors and promises /
howbebrave/
how can i love when i'mafraidfall..."
The ethereal and mellow singing voice gradually sounded in the open venue.
Following the elegant and breezy music, the singing sound penetrated into everyone's heart like a thread.
The light and natural transition and the natural tremolo sound without any sense of refinement, just like the most harmonious natural melody, like a brook gurgling, like a mountain spring gushing lightly, integrating all the complicated singing skills with ease, becoming Become the most simple and clear singing.
The instructors closed their eyes, tapped their fingertips lightly on the seat, and after a while, even the movement of their fingers stopped.
Abandoning all sensory disturbances, the rest is the purest and most moving singing.
Only in this almost devout way can such flawless music be enjoyed.
The audience also fell silent strangely, quietly watching the selfless singing figure on the stage.
They have limited knowledge of singing skills, but they know that this is the most moving singing they have ever heard, and the wonderful timbre between real voice and false voice is probably only comparable to the legendary mermaid. An unearthly song that can lure sailors on board into the sea...
"butwatchingyoustandalone/
allmydoubt/
suddenly goes awaysomehow/
one step closer~~~”
The last vibrato is clear and long, exciting, and the transition at the end is even more intriguing.
In the legend, the song of the mermaid passed through all the stormy seas and reached the ears of the sailors.
Only such a shocking singing voice can convey the feeling of looking forward to meeting and getting closer to the distant ship.
At this moment, countless people had this thought in their hearts: If this is the singing of the mermaid, then they are willing to become the seduced sailor, go through the heavy sea fog, and come to the lonely mermaid, and spend ten years, a hundred years, Thousands of years, spend their whole life to accompany her, as long as she is no longer alone waiting in place, they are willing to give everything for it...
"ihavediedeverydaywaitingforyou/
darling, don't tafraid/
i have loved you for a thousand years/
i love you for thousands and more..."
Waiting day and night, just to meet you.
Yili quietly recalled the lyrics in her heart.
She sometimes thinks that maybe she came to this world not because of someone's mistake, but to meet that person.
Such an incredible idea lingered in her heart, so when she saw that person for the first time, she couldn't take her eyes off him. Maybe, at that time, even if that person didn't take the initiative to reach out to her, Sooner or later, she will not be able to resist walking towards him...
"allalongibelievediwouldfindyou/
timehasbroughtyourheartme/
i have loved you for a thousand years/
iloveyouforathousandmore/
onestepcloser/
one step closer..."
If one day, they return to that world together, will they still remember each other?
When that time comes, can they find each other again after being lost in the crowd?
It must be possible, even if that person can't find me, I will find him.
Whether it is five years, ten years, 50 years, no matter whether she forgets or remembers, she will never stop searching until one day, somewhere, she meets him again. This time, she will take the initiative to walk In front of him, he said, long time no see.
At the end of the music, Yili bowed slightly to the audience, with a faint smile on her lips.
"This is the best song I've heard tonight, and I don't think I'll forget it in a long time." Ryan returned to the stage soon, sighing to Ellie, "If Okay, after the competition, I'm going to download it, put it on my phone, and play it on repeat for a whole week, no, a whole year."
"Okay, thank you, Ryan." Hearing Ryan's plan, Yili couldn't help laughing, but she still thanked Ryan. After all, this can be regarded as publicity for her, after all, the download on itunes The amount is also counted as the number of votes.
"Then let's see what the mentors have to say." Ryan made an exaggerated little joke, and then looked at the mentor seat, "Well, Christina, let's start with you, you have something to do with Sally's performance tonight." Anything to say?"
"Well, I want to say, Sally, this song of yours can be selected into the vocal teaching material." Christina tapped her delicate chin with her knuckles, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Maybe the audience They didn't notice it, but I think other instructors also noticed that in this song, Sally used a mixed voice from the beginning. It is this combination of real voice and false voice that makes this song The song is so different.
Seriously, I think your version is better than Perry's.
Whether it is the smooth use of the mixed voice from the beginning to the end, or the skillful use of vibrato, shift, mute, and mute, it is refreshing.What's more, when you use these techniques, you don't feel like showing off. On the contrary, you naturally introduce these techniques into your singing, making them sound so harmonious, as if they were part of the song.
I personally think that this song is the highest peak of your current singing career, because in this song, you are not affected by the original version at all, but understand, adapt, and perform this song in your own way.I believe that many people will cover this version of yours in the future, including me. Yes, I want to try to cover this version adapted by Sally. "
By the end, Christina laughed to herself.
"Thank you, Christina, I have authorized you to sing my version as you like."
Yili was very happy that Christina said that, so she made a little joke in cooperation.
After all, the copyright of this song is still in the hands of the original singer, and the authorization obtained by the program group is only to allow the contestants to cover it in Supervoice. If Christina really wants to cover this song outside the show, she must also get the original singer Singer's permission.
"Wow, Christina really gave a very high evaluation." Ryan made a small surprise, and then looked at another mentor, "So, Blake, tell me what you think, what do you think Sally How are you doing?"
"I completely agree with Christina." Blake affirmed, "In fact, from Sally, I feel a long-lost retro style, and this retro style fits her very well. It reminds me of those Once a glorious female soul singer. I am looking forward to it. If Sally really decides to become a singer, what kind of new wind will it bring to our pop music world? Maybe, we will usher in an American version of Adele, unique It’s different, and it’s sought after by all.”
"Thank you, Blake." Yili frowned a little, and soon felt relieved. She knew that Blake was just making an analogy, but she still responded very seriously, "I like Auntie very much. Dele, I think she is one of the greatest female singers of the new generation, but I don't want to be Adele II, I just want to be Sally I." No one wants to be a copy of another person, even if That was a great man.
"Of course." Blake smiled and raised his hand, "I know, you will become Sally I, because your style is completely different from Adele's, she is more mature, in her words, she is 'heartbrokensoul', As for you, it's hard for me to imagine you singing those sad songs, it's not suitable for you, you give me the feeling of 'amightyheart', as if nothing in this world can beat you, maybe you will fight for love Fascinated, but you never lose yourself for love."
"Cough." Yili coughed lightly in embarrassment. The eyes of the mentors were too sharp. It was clear that she had very little contact with Blake, and she hadn't even gotten along with him in private, but Blake could still see right away that she was What kind of person, perhaps, this is the experience and vision of the elders.
Afterwards, Adam and Farrell also expressed their views, which was nothing more than an affirmation of Yili's performance.
Soon, Yili and her opponent left the stage side by side, and the duel between the two came to an end temporarily.
The last group of players to enter the field was Grace and Jacob.
Grace won applause from the audience with a song "pricetag". Obviously, Kunna was not the only one who came prepared. In order to ensure the promotion, Grace also chose a divine comedy and performed it very well; and Ya Cobu is not to be outdone, his "yesterday"
"Welcome back to Supervoice, this is host Ryan Seacrest."
"Today, the game has entered the countdown stage, and every player will try their best to get the ticket to the final. Eight players will continue to bring us wonderful performances, but only six People can advance to the next round."
"The outcome of all this depends on you!"
Ryan swayed passion on stage, and the audience screamed in unison.
"So far, Adam's team has performed the strongest. All four players have remained in the competition. They are Sally, Bertha, Nadia and Grace. Among them, Sally has won three consecutive championships. , the other three players are not inferior, and all four of them have easily advanced to the quarterfinals with considerable advantages."
"In addition, the Farrell team also has two players who have advanced to the quarterfinals. They are Kunna and Bradley. This pair of heart-to-heart couples have also come here hand in hand. They have the advantage of one plus one greater than two."
"Finally, Rachel from Team Blake and Jacob from Team Christina were also part of the final eight, and both mentors had high hopes for them, and they've clearly proven themselves."
Following Ryan's words, eight contestants appeared on the half-air terrace next to the stage, waving to the audience.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Sally!"
"Nadia!"
"Rachel!"
"..."
The audience shouted out the names of each contestant excitedly.
"So, first of all, let's invite the first player tonight." Ryan looked at the instructor's seat, "Adam, who will be the first player of your team?" Among the eight players who advanced, Team Adam accounted for Halfway through, this top eight matchup can also be said to be a round-robin competition between Team Adam and other teams to a certain extent, and it is understandable that the players of Team Adam will play first.
"Bertha." Adam replied without thinking.
"Okay, let's give Bertha a round of applause!"
Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, the blond girl with a playful ponytail walked up quickly.
"Good evening, Bertha." Ryan greeted the girl cordially.
"Good evening, Ryan." Bertha curled her lips and waved slightly to the audience from time to time.
"This is your first start, isn't it?" Ryan asked with feigned curiosity. "Does this make you nervous?"
"Of course not." Bertha shook her head lightly, and did not give any additional explanations like other contestants.
"Okay." Ryan nodded, "So, what song will you bring us tonight?"
""Somewhere Only Know"." Bertha replied.
The brisk and lively piano prelude soon sounded in the venue.
"iwalkedacrossemptyland/
iknewthepathwaylikethebackmyhand/
ifelttheearthbeneathfeet/
sattheriver and madeplete..."
If we say that what this song originally wanted to express is the feeling of the past and the longing to return to the original melancholy, just like the original singer performed, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, feeling deeply tired, I hope to be able to throw away all worries , start again, and find your true love; then, in Bertha’s version, there is no such boredom and bewilderment of the world, only a free state of mind that fully enjoys and accepts freely. She is like a woman who does not eat The lakeside fairy with fireworks in the world is curious about everything in the world, but she is not troubled by it, so she is always detached from these troubles and chases everything she wants.
"this could the end everything/
sowhydon't go/
sowhydon't go/
somewhere only know..."
For Bertha, even if the game ends at this moment, she doesn't care.
In this competition, she has found something more important than the competition itself.
She discovered her true dream, determined her musical path, and found a lifelong friend.
In the quiet and beautiful music, Bertha thought of her warm castle-like home, the forest, the meadow, and her secret garden.If possible, after the game, she really wanted to take her friends to her little world.They can sit together, recall what they have experienced together, talk about everything in the game easily, make wishes under the stars, and look forward to a bright future together.
"sowhydon't go/
somewhere only know..."
In that pure song like an elf, everyone seems to have experienced a natural baptism, forgetting the busyness, toil and exhaustion of the world, and just want to join hands with the one they love and go to the place only they know, That piece of spiritual pure land that belongs to two people, where they can get real peace...
At the end of the song, Bertha bowed slightly to the audience.
The audience was silent, and the audience was immersed in their own beautiful world, unable to wake up for a while.
It wasn't until the first person applauded and woke up the others that everyone suddenly woke up and gave their biggest applause.
"Blake, what do you think of Bertha's performance tonight?" Ryan, who returned to the stage, asked the mentors beside him.
"'Very Bertha'." Blake said with a smile, "Whether it is the selection of songs or singing, we have seen a distinct Bertha style - simple, beautiful and lively tunes, sincere and straightforward, natural to carve The singing style, which cannot be imitated by others, is also the most touching part of Bertha. She is born with this kind of temperament, different from popular customs, not afraid of people's words, as if no matter what happens, she is Bertha and will never Bertha, who changes herself for other people, is really cool."
"Thank you, Blake, you are cool too." Bertha liked Blake's evaluation of herself very much, so she rarely showed a bit of playfulness and said, "It's only a little bit worse than Adam, really, only a little bit."
"Hey..." Blake was still very happy when he heard the first half, but when he heard the second half, a smile froze on his face.
"Hahaha, Bertha, that's very well said!" Adam was overjoyed, laughing and applauding his contestants at the same time, "However, sometimes you can't speak too bluntly, you know, some people always It’s not accepting reality, even if it’s the truth.”
"Hey, Adam, who do you think can't accept the reality?" Bray said with a downcast face, but there was no sullenness in his words-this kind of bickering was a daily routine between him and Adam, and neither of them would take it seriously , only as an adjustment to the game.
"How do I know, it's not me who can't accept the reality." Adam spread his hands and said innocently.
"..." Blake let out a breath slowly, and decided to skip the snarky humanoid creature beside him—it was sad to say that, when it comes to bickering, Blake seldom wins against Adam, unless Christina and Farrell give He chimed in.But sometimes, even the three of them together can't beat Adam, who is so full of reason, and it's a sad story.
"So, Christina?" Ryan looked at the other mentor.
"As Blake said, Bertha played 'very Bertha' tonight." Christina agreed with Blake's statement, "In fact, as the game progresses, we will find that sooner or later the players , will form their own unique performance style. Some contestants have realized this very early on, and will consciously perfect their singing style; there are also contestants who are always exploring different paths, and it is not until a long time later that they decide what they want to take the way.
Just like now, Bertha's personal style has gradually become clear, as long as it is a song she chooses, people can always hear it immediately.Just like many singers nowadays, they will also try many different songs, pop, jazz, rock, folk, but no matter the tune, they will set their own brand, so that the audience can immediately distinguish it.
To be honest, I think Bertha still has a long way to go in honing her singing skills. For example, in this song, I can point out several places where she did not handle it so smoothly. Of course, this This kind of flaw is natural and suitable for Bertha's style, but I think that if possible, the singer should show his unique style after dealing with the technical issues of the whole song.However, on the road of exploring my own music style, I think Bertha is on the right path. Congratulations, Bertha. "
"Thank you, Christina." Bertha nodded to Christina in thanks.
Afterwards, Adam and Farrell also had their say, and then Bertha faced her opponent for this round.
—Bradley, Team Farrell.
Bertha was no stranger to Bradley, and Bradley was no stranger to her.
It can be said that the two sides had an intersection very early in this game.In the duel in the group, Bradley was almost eliminated by Kunna. Afterwards, Bradley was unwilling to fail. With his teammates in the group all facing Kunna, he desperately sought support from outside the team. Finally, Sally was moved by him, and with the support of Sally's leader and Bertha, Grace and others, Bradley was able to breathe, and was lucky to stay. However, I don't know how long this luck can last. ...
However, in any case, for Bradley, this time, his competition situation should not be so severe. After all, compared with Sally, Bertha is a much "cuter" opponent in any level.
Of course, this ease is only relative.Judging from the results of the last game, his public support rate is not optimistic. As Kunna once described, the phenomenon of skyrocketing popularity after the two made it public did not happen.It's not that Bradley couldn't understand, after all, his last round was Sally, but this result still made him somewhat anxious.
This time, he must show his housekeeping skills, otherwise, the fans attracted by the two of them will all go to Kunna's camp, and he will get nothing, but just a stepping stone for others. Absolutely not what he wanted!
Bradley's song tonight is "coughsyrup,"
Under the seemingly lively tune, this song is full of decadence and negativity, which is the complete opposite of Bertha's songs.
This song is from the perspective of a drug addict. He is addicted to cough syrup and cannot extricate himself. Shout out "one more syrup" "one more syrup".The rhythm of the whole song is cheerful, but the hidden darkness and despair in it make people shudder.
As a weather-beaten social person, Bradley really understands this seemingly bright but helpless reality.Therefore, his performance is really impeccable, and the instructors are full of praise, thinking that tonight he has definitely performed exceptionally well.
The next group of contestants to take the stage one after the other is Nadia and Rachel.
Both of them are gentle and considerate people who think about others. Even though there is a huge difference in age, the things they have experienced together and the people they have fought side by side have made them feel sympathetic to each other. In this competition Established a sincere friendship.Regrettably, at this moment, the two had to stand on opposite sides, fighting hard to defeat the enemy in front of them in order to qualify—this is a competition, a cruel competition.
The only luck for Rachel in this showdown is that Nadia isn't the last opponent she wants to face.Four of the top eight are from the Adam team, and she is bound to face the players of the Adam team. This is a completely predictable result.But as long as it is not Sally and Grace, she has the courage to defeat each other - the former stood up for her when she first came to the competition, the loneliest and most helpless, and the latter was the most speechless in this competition Not talking about friends, the two even made an agreement to continue working hard together after the game. In any case, she really didn't want to stand in front of them as an opponent.
So, that's good enough, at least Nadia, not Sally, and not Grace.
Rachel said to herself.
In the face of the tough competition, both Nadia and Rachel unreservedly showed their best sides.
Nadia won the praise of the instructors with a song "heartbreaker" by Pe Benata. The passionate tune made the audience fall into a rock frenzy.
Afterwards, Rachel responded with a sincere and moving song "overyou". It is worth mentioning that this song was co-written by Rachel's mentor Blake and his wife Miranda, and performed by Miranda alone song.In fact, when this song was written, Blake's father had just passed away, and Blake wrote this song out of the memory of his father and his brother who died young, perhaps because this feeling is too He was worried that he would not be able to perform the song well, so he asked Miranda to sing it alone and included it in Miranda's solo album.
At this time, when Rachel was interpreting the song on stage with a gentle and moving voice, Blake's eye circles were slightly red, and he had to hide it with his hands crossed on his face. Adam, Christina, and Fari All of them knew the background of the song and what it meant to Blake. The three of them stepped down from their seats and gave Blake a deep hug.
In such a warm atmosphere, the confrontation between Nadia and Rachel came to an end.
Whether it is the audience or the mentor, it is difficult to say who performed better.
At the scene, the voices of Nadia and Rachel were even more equal.
It can only be said that this duel is destined to be judged by more people.
The fifth player to play is the hottest Kunna at the moment.
Because of her relationship with Bradley, Kunna's popularity on the Internet is the same for a while, and maybe only Yili can compete with her.This is also the first time that Kunna has experienced the feeling of being under the spotlight, the feeling that someone cares about every move, and countless people reply to every message.
If she hadn't been telling herself in her heart that the competition is the most important thing, and the popularity has to be converted into votes, Kunna would have been in a trance for a long time, and she didn't know where she was.But even so, seeing her increasing number of fans, Kunna still felt unreal and extremely excited.
Thinking that this was the treatment that Sally had always enjoyed, Kunna became more envious and jealous of that girl.
I will definitely defeat her!
In the finals, use your popularity to tell her that the one who can have the last laugh is the real winner!
Kunna said this to herself, and then, amid Ryan's invitation, stepped onto the stage that belonged to her at this moment.
"Welcome, Kunna." Ryan looked at her with a smile, "What song are you going to sing tonight?"
"Beyoncé's "listen"." Kunna replied without thinking, "I think she is a role model for all of us women, and also a role model for me in life. I very much hope to perform her songs in the competition."
For Kunna, Beyoncé has achieved the pinnacle of a woman, whether it is her personal career or the choice of a spouse.
If possible, she also hopes that she can be like Beyoncé. On the one hand, she can become a trend-leading music icon, and on the other hand, she can marry a big man who is also important in the industry, and her family and career will have a good harvest.If Bradley can't meet her expectations in the future, Kunna will definitely throw him off without hesitation and look for her new prey.After all, they are originally a cooperative relationship in the game, aren't they?
"Okay, then let's welcome Kunna's "listen"."
Ryan didn't talk much, and quickly gave the stage to Kunna.
As one of Beyoncé's masterpieces, more than one contestant has sung this song.
The song itself has a variety of tunes, and the lyrics are deep and soulful. The whole song has a lot of room for interpretation. As long as the contestants can interpret the song appropriately, it is not too difficult to advance.Therefore, this song is also called the Divine Comedy by many people. Even Yili had considered singing this song before, but in the end she chose another song that was more meaningful to her.
There are many similar songs, all of which are full of ups and downs, full of emotions, and require players to perform with all their heart, such as p!nk's "try" sung by Yili, such as jessiej's "pricetag". so it is.
Therefore, Kunna chose this song this time, and it can be seen that she is bound to win the promotion!
This round, she also came to win!
"listen.../
to the song here my heart/
amelodyi start but can't plete..."
Kunna recalled her excitement and joy when she first participated in this competition.
She firmly believes that she will shine in this competition!
The reality has also proved this point. From the initial audition to the current quarter-finals, she has become more and more popular, and she has become more and more stable in this competition. Now, everyone is listening in the audience For her song, everyone is cheering and applauding her, everyone is shouting her name, and all of this is achieved bit by bit by herself!
At the end of the song, Kunna's eyes were incredibly bright.
She felt she was doing well, and the comments from her mentors borne it out.
Every instructor thinks that she has performed at her due level, even if there are slight flaws, it is harmless, especially this is such a deep and difficult song, and the original singer is almost god-like Beyoncé. Basically, by displaying her strength, Kunna has fully proved herself!
Kunna enjoys the appreciation of her mentors, and from time to time returns a humble thank you. Looking at the eager faces of the audience, she almost has the illusion that victory is within her grasp.
Maybe it's not an illusion, sooner or later, she will have the victory in her pocket!
Kunna's good mood lasted for a long time, until Adam sent out the players in his team again——
"Let's applaud Sally!" Ryan repeated Adam's choice loudly.
"Sally!" "Sally!" "Sally!" The cheers of the audience suddenly rose to a higher level. It was a frantic shout that Kunna couldn't get when she sang the climax of the song.And the other party just made an appearance, no, she didn't even make an appearance, she just stood behind the door and got such a warm welcome!
Hearing that dreadful name, Kunna's heart sank suddenly.
That was the opponent she was least willing to face, but she would have to face it sooner or later.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would meet her face to face so soon.
The tall and slim figure was getting closer and closer, and Kunna's heart was getting heavier and heavier.
"Good evening, Sally."
Ryan greeted the other party happily, but the familiar smiling face became more and more obtrusive in Kunna's eyes.
"Good evening, Ryan."
Yi Li replied with a smile, then turned her head and nodded politely to Kunna.
Kunna froze her body, pursed the corners of her mouth, reluctantly nodded to the other party, and responded.
"Before you start your performance, how do you think Kunna is doing tonight?" Ryan asked provocatively.
However, to be honest, the relationship between Yili and Kunna does not need him to provoke, it has long been incompatible.
But the two have always been very restrained and didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so they have never turned against each other in front of others. From the perspective of those who don't know the inside story, maybe the relationship between the two is not bad—considering the relationship between Isaac and Jay Given Kunna's performance in the husband incident, it is not surprising that passers-by have such misunderstandings. Perhaps this can be called a plastic contestant.
"I think she performed very well. We all know that Kunna is a very capable player." Yili smiled and winked at the audience, as if jokingly said, "But I will perform better OK, isn't it?"
"Cool, does this mean launching a challenge?" Ryan's eyes lit up, obviously satisfied with Yili's answer.
What's the point of flattering each other in a regular manner? Of course, this kind of subtle provocation is more interesting!
I believe not only him, but the audience must also be excited!
Sure enough, as soon as Ryan finished speaking, the audience in the audience booed, and the voices of "Sally" and "Sally" were endless, with Kunna's name interspersed occasionally, but they were quickly drowned out. In Sally's wave.
At this moment, Kunna on the side has completely become the background board. She is extremely embarrassed, but she can't just escape back to the stage. She can only forcefully show a decent smile. Only she knows that her nails It was deeply caught in the palm of her hand, it was very painful, but it made her sober - the current Sally is something she can't fight against!But the situation will never go on like this. It won't be long before her popularity will surpass the other party's. Just give her a chance, just give her a chance...
"Well, maybe."
Yili gave an ambiguous but affirmative answer.
After all, she doesn't want to tear up the face with the other party right now, but she also doesn't want to get along too harmoniously with the other party. Whether it's with her or Kunna, when they meet, it's best to politely show the other party a smirk. They can't do more.
"Okay, so what's the song you're going to sing tonight?"
Ryan also gave up as soon as he saw it, and didn't chase after it hard, but for the audience, this little excitement was enough.
In front of the TV, many people sat up straight, looking at the stage with bright eyes, waiting for what kind of performance Yili would use to slap Kunna in the face - after saying such words, do not show The audience will not be satisfied with the real stuff.
""thousandyears"." Yili replied.
***
"heartbeatsfast/
colors and promises /
howbebrave/
how can i love when i'mafraidfall..."
The ethereal and mellow singing voice gradually sounded in the open venue.
Following the elegant and breezy music, the singing sound penetrated into everyone's heart like a thread.
The light and natural transition and the natural tremolo sound without any sense of refinement, just like the most harmonious natural melody, like a brook gurgling, like a mountain spring gushing lightly, integrating all the complicated singing skills with ease, becoming Become the most simple and clear singing.
The instructors closed their eyes, tapped their fingertips lightly on the seat, and after a while, even the movement of their fingers stopped.
Abandoning all sensory disturbances, the rest is the purest and most moving singing.
Only in this almost devout way can such flawless music be enjoyed.
The audience also fell silent strangely, quietly watching the selfless singing figure on the stage.
They have limited knowledge of singing skills, but they know that this is the most moving singing they have ever heard, and the wonderful timbre between real voice and false voice is probably only comparable to the legendary mermaid. An unearthly song that can lure sailors on board into the sea...
"butwatchingyoustandalone/
allmydoubt/
suddenly goes awaysomehow/
one step closer~~~”
The last vibrato is clear and long, exciting, and the transition at the end is even more intriguing.
In the legend, the song of the mermaid passed through all the stormy seas and reached the ears of the sailors.
Only such a shocking singing voice can convey the feeling of looking forward to meeting and getting closer to the distant ship.
At this moment, countless people had this thought in their hearts: If this is the singing of the mermaid, then they are willing to become the seduced sailor, go through the heavy sea fog, and come to the lonely mermaid, and spend ten years, a hundred years, Thousands of years, spend their whole life to accompany her, as long as she is no longer alone waiting in place, they are willing to give everything for it...
"ihavediedeverydaywaitingforyou/
darling, don't tafraid/
i have loved you for a thousand years/
i love you for thousands and more..."
Waiting day and night, just to meet you.
Yili quietly recalled the lyrics in her heart.
She sometimes thinks that maybe she came to this world not because of someone's mistake, but to meet that person.
Such an incredible idea lingered in her heart, so when she saw that person for the first time, she couldn't take her eyes off him. Maybe, at that time, even if that person didn't take the initiative to reach out to her, Sooner or later, she will not be able to resist walking towards him...
"allalongibelievediwouldfindyou/
timehasbroughtyourheartme/
i have loved you for a thousand years/
iloveyouforathousandmore/
onestepcloser/
one step closer..."
If one day, they return to that world together, will they still remember each other?
When that time comes, can they find each other again after being lost in the crowd?
It must be possible, even if that person can't find me, I will find him.
Whether it is five years, ten years, 50 years, no matter whether she forgets or remembers, she will never stop searching until one day, somewhere, she meets him again. This time, she will take the initiative to walk In front of him, he said, long time no see.
At the end of the music, Yili bowed slightly to the audience, with a faint smile on her lips.
"This is the best song I've heard tonight, and I don't think I'll forget it in a long time." Ryan returned to the stage soon, sighing to Ellie, "If Okay, after the competition, I'm going to download it, put it on my phone, and play it on repeat for a whole week, no, a whole year."
"Okay, thank you, Ryan." Hearing Ryan's plan, Yili couldn't help laughing, but she still thanked Ryan. After all, this can be regarded as publicity for her, after all, the download on itunes The amount is also counted as the number of votes.
"Then let's see what the mentors have to say." Ryan made an exaggerated little joke, and then looked at the mentor seat, "Well, Christina, let's start with you, you have something to do with Sally's performance tonight." Anything to say?"
"Well, I want to say, Sally, this song of yours can be selected into the vocal teaching material." Christina tapped her delicate chin with her knuckles, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Maybe the audience They didn't notice it, but I think other instructors also noticed that in this song, Sally used a mixed voice from the beginning. It is this combination of real voice and false voice that makes this song The song is so different.
Seriously, I think your version is better than Perry's.
Whether it is the smooth use of the mixed voice from the beginning to the end, or the skillful use of vibrato, shift, mute, and mute, it is refreshing.What's more, when you use these techniques, you don't feel like showing off. On the contrary, you naturally introduce these techniques into your singing, making them sound so harmonious, as if they were part of the song.
I personally think that this song is the highest peak of your current singing career, because in this song, you are not affected by the original version at all, but understand, adapt, and perform this song in your own way.I believe that many people will cover this version of yours in the future, including me. Yes, I want to try to cover this version adapted by Sally. "
By the end, Christina laughed to herself.
"Thank you, Christina, I have authorized you to sing my version as you like."
Yili was very happy that Christina said that, so she made a little joke in cooperation.
After all, the copyright of this song is still in the hands of the original singer, and the authorization obtained by the program group is only to allow the contestants to cover it in Supervoice. If Christina really wants to cover this song outside the show, she must also get the original singer Singer's permission.
"Wow, Christina really gave a very high evaluation." Ryan made a small surprise, and then looked at another mentor, "So, Blake, tell me what you think, what do you think Sally How are you doing?"
"I completely agree with Christina." Blake affirmed, "In fact, from Sally, I feel a long-lost retro style, and this retro style fits her very well. It reminds me of those Once a glorious female soul singer. I am looking forward to it. If Sally really decides to become a singer, what kind of new wind will it bring to our pop music world? Maybe, we will usher in an American version of Adele, unique It’s different, and it’s sought after by all.”
"Thank you, Blake." Yili frowned a little, and soon felt relieved. She knew that Blake was just making an analogy, but she still responded very seriously, "I like Auntie very much. Dele, I think she is one of the greatest female singers of the new generation, but I don't want to be Adele II, I just want to be Sally I." No one wants to be a copy of another person, even if That was a great man.
"Of course." Blake smiled and raised his hand, "I know, you will become Sally I, because your style is completely different from Adele's, she is more mature, in her words, she is 'heartbrokensoul', As for you, it's hard for me to imagine you singing those sad songs, it's not suitable for you, you give me the feeling of 'amightyheart', as if nothing in this world can beat you, maybe you will fight for love Fascinated, but you never lose yourself for love."
"Cough." Yili coughed lightly in embarrassment. The eyes of the mentors were too sharp. It was clear that she had very little contact with Blake, and she hadn't even gotten along with him in private, but Blake could still see right away that she was What kind of person, perhaps, this is the experience and vision of the elders.
Afterwards, Adam and Farrell also expressed their views, which was nothing more than an affirmation of Yili's performance.
Soon, Yili and her opponent left the stage side by side, and the duel between the two came to an end temporarily.
The last group of players to enter the field was Grace and Jacob.
Grace won applause from the audience with a song "pricetag". Obviously, Kunna was not the only one who came prepared. In order to ensure the promotion, Grace also chose a divine comedy and performed it very well; and Ya Cobu is not to be outdone, his "yesterday"
