Chen Xiaotong bowed and left the stage. Yin Jia said loudly, "How was Teacher Xiaotong's singing?"
"Great!"
"That was great."
The audience's response was like a tsunami. The camera panned to them, each of their faces brimming with excitement.
Yin Jia talked for a few minutes and waited for the audience to calm down before she said loudly, "Let's welcome the next singer — Li Rongxing."
Cheers burst out.
The applause was thunderous.
Li Rongxing changed into a leather jacket and pants. His hair was combed neatly and his face was covered with shiny laser powder.
"It's raining outside the window. His figure appears at the street corner.
"The people in the room look at him with tenderness.
"And I'm standing at the edge of your world.
"No matter how desolate the world is.
"I love you and don't feel lonely.
"A stubborn girl hiding in her heart.
"Huhuhu, da la la la la la …"
Li Rongxing sang a familiar sad love song. It was very popular some time ago, but he was not in a good state today. There were a few mistakes and tremors in his voice.
The audience might not be able to tell if the singer made a mistake, but when it came to love songs, with Baby Qin's outstanding performances in the first two episodes, the audience's ears were already picky. When they heard Li Rongxing sing the same type of sad love song, they were instantly not convinced.
"What's going on? Li Rongxing is not in the right state today."
"It's average, and he chose the wrong song. I only admire Qin Bao Bao when it comes to sad love songs."
"It's not as ethereal as' Legend ', nor is it as simple as' Fairy Tale '. The lyrics are touching."
"Fairy Tale makes me feel touched, sad, and helpless. Few songs can surpass it in terms of emotions. At least, there shouldn't be a song like this this year. Even Qin Bao Bao can't do it."
"I like Chen Xiaotong's opera. Her voice is excellent."
The voting began.
Chen Xiaotong: 236 votes.
Li Rongxing: 204 votes.
60 people abstained.
Chen Xiaotong beamed with joy and bowed to the audience again to thank them. Li Rongxing was also smiling, but it was a bit forced. He was overtaken. In the first episode, he had surpassed Chen Xiaotong in terms of popularity. This was only the third episode, and her popularity was gradually recovering. Her singing skills were also gradually recovering. Chen Xiaotong was gradually getting better. Now, she had already surpassed him in both popularity and singing skills.
That was why it was said that variety shows, especially musical variety shows, were the easiest to create stars. The talent shows that were popular a few years ago had created batch after batch of singers. The most outstanding ones were now A-listers.
It did not seem impossible for Chen Xiaotong to return to the top with the help of "I Am a Singer".
There was also Qin Bao Bao, an unknown newcomer who was now famous.
"Then, next up is the singer that everyone is looking forward to the most …" Yin Jia deliberately paused. "Are you looking forward to it?"
"I can't wait!"
The clamor was like a tidal wave.
"Let's welcome the singer, Li Xuegang." Yin Jia shouted. Sonorous and powerful music sounded at the right time, adding to the atmosphere.
On the bullet screen, netizens were discussing:
"Teacher Li Xuegang has appeared."
"I'm looking forward to Teacher Xue Gang's rock and roll."
"Everyone, start moving. Shake your heads."
"I don't really like rock, but I like Li Xuegang's rock."
"F * ck, there are too many comments. I'm blocking my idol."
"Turn off the comments to save IQ."
There were too many comments on the computer and it affected the viewing. Qin Ze suggested, "How about I turn off the comments?"
Wang Zijin shook her head. "The comments are quite interesting. Leave them on."
"Interesting, right?" Qin Ze laughed. "The comments are always more interesting than the show."
Wang Zijin asked, "Do you often post comments too?"
Qin Ze nodded.
Wang Zijin thought for a while and tilted her head. "Keyboard warrior."
Qin Ze's expression changed. "Sister Ziwei, you can't say things like that."
Wang Zijin blinked.
Qin Ze said, "Keyboard warrior is a derogatory term. It generally refers to those who maneuver freely and make decisions on the Internet. But in real life, they are timid and cowardly people. On the same level as them, there are also the Receiver and the Spare Tire. "
Wang Zijin said, "Oh, I know about the Spare Tire. It's the story of the goddess and the loser. But what's the Receiver? Bao Bao said that you are the Receiver. "
Qin Ze vomited blood and was furious. "Qin Bao Bao said that I am the Receiver? I, I, I … I'm going to fight it out with her. "
It was a great humiliation.
Wang Zijin covered her mouth and laughed. "The original words were 'My brother has been a coward since he was young. He's too ordinary. My mother and I are worried about him. We're afraid that he won't be able to find a wife in the future, so he's probably the Receiver.'"
The veins on Qin Ze's forehead bulged. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
What did she mean? The Receiver? Me?
"She's only going home today. Otherwise, I would have hung her up and beaten her," Qin Ze said angrily. So this is my image in my sister's eyes.
Saying that a man is the Receiver is the same as saying to your face: You are incompetent!
There's no difference.
Wang Zijin glanced at him. "Actually, I'm not that curious."
I'll Baidu myself later. Qin Ze seems to be very angry …
The show continued.
Li Xuegang held a guitar and went on stage. He had long hair tied into a ponytail. He wore a gaudy silver leather jacket, leather pants, and boots, the standard outfit of a rock musician.
Li Xuegang bowed to the audience, raised his head, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
After a few breaths, he turned his head and nodded to the band.
The music exploded without warning. The storm-like electric guitar, the loud and sonorous saxophone, the rhythmic drums … It was as if all the music was playing at the same time. It was loud, sonorous, and chaotic. At first glance, it seemed chaotic. But if you listened carefully, you would feel that it was very rhythmic.
Rock originated in the United States in the mid-1950s. It was mainly influenced by rhythm and blues, country music, and clank alley music. There were many branches of rock music and its forms were complex. The main styles were: folk rock, art rock, psychedelic rock, country rock, heavy metal, punk, and so on.
Many people, including some musicians, did not know what rock was.
Rock was a very broad concept. It included a series of thoughts and cultural movements that accompanied the birth of rock music.
In layman's terms, it was non-mainstream.
However, non-mainstream was still not enough to describe rock. What was rock? There was no accurate answer.
Some people said that rock was explosive music, music that tore the eardrums.
Some people said that rock was a kind of destruction.
Some people said that rock was a kind of spirit.
There was no clear definition of rock. It was not expressed in the explosive music, but in the spirit. It was a kind of spirit of "breaking away from feudal etiquette" and "not taking the ordinary path."
Its characteristics were: maverick, singing when you want to, and not sticking to a pattern. In martial arts novels, it was a realm where no moves were better than having moves. There was no sword in the hand, but there was a sword in the heart.
Even if you were not a professional musician or singer, you could still sing boldly and sing when you want to.
However, all the popular rock music in the world had a sense of rhythm and explosive music. As mentioned earlier, non-mainstream rock music was one of the ideas of rock music. Loud and explosive music could reflect this point very concretely.
"Standing under the light gray sky."
"Destined to walk with suffering and responsibility."
"Walking on the journey of life."
"Life is withering fast."
"Crossing the tide of the long journey."
"Even if we bleed and die."
"Our spirit will last forever, forever, forever."
.....
Li Xuegang shook his head and his limbs followed the rhythm. His voice was majestic and high, a natural rock voice.
The audience below the stage was also high. Their bodies uncontrollably followed the rhythm and danced. The scene was emotional. Li Xuegang was singing one of his representative works. Anyone could hum a few lines of a song that the audience was familiar with.
Backstage, several singers watched the performance through the screen.
Chen Xiaotong twisted her waist and followed the rhythm. Her mouth opened and closed.
Huang Yuteng snapped his fingers and swayed his body to the rhythm.
After the rock song was finished, the audience exploded.
The cheers and applause were like a tide and a gale, almost blowing the roof off. Hundreds of audience members shouted and clapped desperately. They were enthusiastic and excited.
The bullet screen was like snowflakes. "The golden voice of the music industry."
“666”
"This is rock. The rock that makes people's blood boil. The rock that makes people can't help but get high."
"This is music. I like this kind of emotional music. I don't like love songs. It feels like they're just moaning for no reason."
"I really want to listen to Li Xuegang's rock song again. It's a pity that he won't be able to enter the revival round. What a pity."
"Everyone, let's get high … What, he's finished? I haven't had my fill yet. "
"I feel like I'm on drugs. I can't stop at all."
Backstage, the singers were also discussing.
Hong Jingyao said, "The quality is too high. He's a live singer. He's really good."
Chen Xiaotong exclaimed, "How can he sing so high?"
Huang Yuteng laughed and said, "Your opera is also a high note. You don't have to be envious of others."
Chen Xiaotong waved her hand and said with a wry smile, "Mine is different. I feel like his real life is smooth all the way."
Hong Jingyao laughed and teased, "Are you saying that he's stubborn?"
"What? I'm just admiring his voice." Chen Xiaotong also laughed.
At this moment, the cameraman switched the camera to Qin Bao. Qin Bao was expressionless, like a beautiful rose that was silently blooming.
Although the audience did not think highly of her, they couldn't deny that she was an outstanding beauty.
Qin Bao didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that the others wouldn't. Yin Jia pretended to be curious. "Bao Bao, as the next singer to appear on stage, is there a lot of pressure?"
Qin Bao Bao smiled. "It's alright."
"Tell us about the song you'll be singing for us."
Qin Bao Bao thought for a moment. "A love song."
Then the camera switched to the singers backstage. At this moment, Qin Bao Bao and Yin Jia should have left the hall.
Li Rongxing suddenly said, "What song did she sing during the rehearsal yesterday?"
He had a job to do yesterday. He had to shoot an advertisement and didn't have time to wait for Qin Bao Bao.
Hong Jingyao laughed and said, "She didn't sing."
"Ah?" Li Rongxing was stunned.
Huang Yuteng nodded. "Brother Hong and I were there yesterday. She really didn't sing. She just hummed and didn't sing the lyrics."
The live comments:
"She didn't sing during the rehearsal? Is she desperate? "
"She's just going for broke."
"If it were me, I would also be discouraged. Her future is bleak. She's going to be eliminated anyway."
"Yeah, no matter who she gets, she won't make it. Someone analyzed it online."
The camera switched to the stage. Qin Bao Bao was wearing a simple outfit today. She wore denim shorts and a white T-shirt. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was let down and she wore light makeup.
The lights alternately shone on her body. Her well-proportioned figure and long legs without stockings.
The sorrowful sound of an erhu sounded.
Whether it was the audience offstage or the audience in front of the computer, they were all stunned. In pop music, the chances of an erhu appearing on stage were not high.
"Erhu?"
"This rhythm sounds okay. There's an inexplicable sense of sadness."
"It's a sad love song again. She's really the queen of love songs. But we're a little tired of listening to it."
"Do you dare to change the style? Another love song? "
"Moaning about nothing, forcing new worries. I want to listen to rock."
"It sounds like a love song. The sound of an erhu is also naturally sad. But, but why is there an electric guitar and drum accompaniment? It's too loud and uncoordinated."
"Be a little more polite. After all, this is Qin Bao Bao's last performance."
At this moment, a live comment appeared. "High energy ahead."
A few seconds later, dozens of "high energy ahead" messages floated by and almost filled the entire screen.
"What's the situation?"
"Damn, so many people? Are they crazy? "
"What's going on? High energy ahead again. Are you guys interested? Speaking of which, there are a lot of people with high energy. Have you guys been lurking? "
"Sitting in front of the computer, I'm dumbfounded."
Those who didn't know what was going on spammed the live comments. But soon, they all fell silent because Qin Bao Bao started singing.
