The next match was between Katarina's student, Kathy Alice, and Ledsteinbeck's student, Maggie White. Both of them were girls. Although Kathy Alice wasn't good-looking, she was indeed one of the strongest students. Katarina had high hopes for her.
Kathy Alice didn't disappoint Katarina. Her performance of Zhao Wanqing's "My Heart Will Go On" was soul-stirring. Her voice was especially ethereal and filled with a kind of immortal aura. Her singing skills were even better, similar to Dong Piaopiao's voice.
Perhaps because of Kathy Alice's influence, Maggie White's performance was very unsatisfactory. It gave people the feeling that she lacked confidence. Clearly, her mental fortitude wasn't very good.
Because of this, she was severely criticized by Barkley and Merculio. She couldn't help but cry.
Even Kathy Alice felt that the three teachers were a little too harsh. They even spoke up for her. This kid even got himself into trouble and was severely reprimanded by Andrew Dora.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Miss White, the three teachers are right about your problem. Your mental fortitude really needs to be improved. Even if this isn't a competition, but a party, you saw that the singer in front of you did well. Are you going to give up your performance? That's absolutely not possible. No matter what you do, you must first have confidence. We don't have to be better than others. As long as we can sing something that belongs to us, that's enough. The other three teachers don't know how to be gentle with girls. Their tone is very problematic, but what they said is priceless advice. You must remember it well. "
"As for Kathy Alice, her performance was very good. To be able to sing 'My Heart Will Go On' with such depth at her age, it can be said that her singing skills are unparalleled. This is very rare. This song praises a kind of undying love. You don't seem to have sung its true meaning. In terms of expressing your feelings, I have to say that you are still a little far from my wife, Zhao Wanqing. "
Kathy Alice nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao, I also know this problem, but to express the meaning of this song like Miss Zhao, I really can't do it at this stage."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "My wife is able to express this song to its fullest because she is an actress. When he was singing, images would appear one after another. Unfortunately, there were some things that could only be understood and not explained. Overall, your singing is already pretty good. I'll vote for you. "
Due to her opponent's unexpected situation, Kathy Alice advanced with an absolute advantage.
Leedersteinbeck's face turned ugly. 1824: 376. The difference between the two was too big.
However, he didn't feel that it was unfair, because the difference between their singing was obvious.
When it came to the third match, because they were all David's contestants, the tension level was obviously much lower than the previous two matches.
Their singing skills were about the same, but they had a lot of problems. Barkley even bluntly criticized their stage presence and said that they had not learned anything from David.
Including Xiao Yunhai, the four judges directly gave up and didn't give anyone any points, which meant that they were all disqualified.
The two contestants' faces were red, and David wasn't any better. However, they were all speaking the truth, and he couldn't refute them at all.
In fact, David had played a trick.
He let the two contestants sing the second song that he had prepared, and didn't let them sing the first song that he had carefully prepared. He wanted to leave it for the other teams to compete.
The other three judges naturally knew his strategy, but no one said anything.
The fourth match began. The contestants were Leedersteinbeck's contestants, Xiao Yunhai's compatriot, Zheng Yu, the only beauty in the group, and Katerina's contestant, Elijah Bernard, known as the Prince of Rock and Roll.
What surprised Xiao Yunhai was that Zheng Yu actually chose Zhao Wanqing's sad song, Silence.
She did indeed have the ability to win the championship. Her voice was steady and lively, with a hint of hoarseness. There were almost no changes to the arrangement, and the way she sang was similar to Zhao Wanqing's. From beginning to end, there were no embellishments.
She spoke tirelessly, and a strong sense of sadness made the more than two thousand people in the audience completely quiet down. Many of them even had tears in their eyes. Although most people didn't know the meaning of Zheng Yu's lyrics, the feelings in the song made them understand exactly what Zheng Yu wanted to express.
Katerina sighed and said, "It's over. Zheng's singing on stage seems to be several times better than in the rehearsal. Teacher Starbeck, are you deliberately hiding your strength? "
Starbeck's eyes were full of praise. He shook his head and said, "Zheng is a live contestant. Singing live would always be much better than singing in a recording studio. Especially when it came to the expression of emotions, it was much richer. As for the rehearsal, she just didn't give it her all. It wasn't that she deliberately hid it, but that she wanted to release all her emotions during the competition. Obviously, she succeeded. "
Katerina said, "Teacher Starbeck, don't say things too early. Bernard is also very good. "
Starbeck said confidently, "I don't believe that among the students, there is anyone better than Zheng's' Silence. '"
Katerina was suddenly speechless. Even she was moved by Zheng Yu's singing, let alone the rest of the audience.
After finishing the song, Zheng Yu received the loudest applause since the beginning of the competition.
The next song to go on stage, Elijah Bernard, was a rock song, full of metal and violence. His low and middle parts were full of metal texture, and his high parts were hoarse. His range was very wide, and he could sing three octaves.
It was no wonder that Katerina still had a trace of expectation and confidence after hearing Zheng Yu's singing.
Bernard used a high pitch that couldn't be any higher to finish the song. He also received earth-shattering applause, and his momentum wasn't any weaker than Zheng Yu's.
Cai Ni Valentin walked out and said with a wry smile, "The two students just now were really amazing. It was a Hua Xia song. Although I didn't understand the meaning, Miss Zheng's emotions made my eyes turn red. Bernard's song, on the other hand, was extremely popular and made my blood boil. Did the two songs that were so different move our four teachers? Let's hear what they have to say. "
Jed Merculio was the first to speak, "The performance of the two students just now was the best among the four groups. Whether it was singing or emotional expression, they were not below the current A-list singers. Student Zheng's Chinese song was a classic sad love song written and composed by Mr. Xiao. The name is only one word 'Silence.' It was sung by Miss Zhao. When I first heard it, I was shocked. Student Zheng's way of expression was no different from Miss Zhao's. She was full of emotions, and her singing was very good. Her use of breath was even more ingenious. But there were also some shortcomings. In the high notes, she couldn't do Miss Zhao's ease. "
"As for Bernard, I just want to say that you were called the Prince of Rock and Roll. It's really appropriate. Your stage presence and singing are almost impeccable. Standing there, you are like a natural light source, attracting everyone's attention. What's even more impressive is that you were able to stabilize your breathing under such intense movements. You didn't have any problems at all. That's not easy at all. I can say without hesitation that in the entire music industry, there are not many professional singers who are better than you in this aspect. Eliot can't do it. The only thing is that if you can't sing the high notes, you can think of other ways. There's no need to force yourself. In the end, I was scared out of my wits. "
Xiao Yunhai spoke at this time, "Teacher Merculio, I don't agree with your point of view."
Everyone was stunned. No one expected Xiao Yunhai to refute Jed Merculio's point of view in public.
