Apart from the judges, audience and staff at the scene, there was also a person with a special identity who was shocked by Ling Buwei's "Wukong", which represented the pinnacle of earthly drama songs.
This person is none other than Pete White, who came all the way from the United States to Xia Country to participate in this new music variety show.
The 2022 best new singer in the United States originally came to Xia Country with a mentality of arrogance, contempt, and technological poverty alleviation. What he wanted in his heart was to let these Xia Country people who can only appreciate music works of extremely low artistic level on weekdays Feel what the dimensionality reduction attack of the music power is.
In his heart, as long as he appears on the stage and opens his mouth, he can convince all the audience and judges, and give himself a near-perfect score and the votes of everyone in the audience.
However, he is still brooding over his results in the semi-finals. The score of 455 made him think that the judges in these semi-finals simply could not understand his advanced singing skills and artistic attainments, just like the original indigenous people in Mizhou could not understand those who rode in the semi-finals. The steel ship came to their land, using long sticks that could spit fire to bring them irresistible death and fear.
But now, he was deeply shocked by the song "Wukong"! In the lounge of the Eastern Division, he was polite to the other three Xia people in the room at first. Apart from the initial greetings, he did not have any more interactions with them.
To put it bluntly, I just look down on these Xia Kingdom singers. But who would have thought that the first person to appear would be his roommate from the same division, Wang Yuchang!
His song "Riding the Wind and Waves" made his eyes light up and refreshing! Especially after knowing that this song was composed by the artist himself, he gave him a slight thumbs up in his heart. Not to say it was too exaggerated, but there was still a little bit of approval.
Then there was Xiao Feiyan's "Calories". At first, he just thought it was a slobbery song sung by a pretty girl who relied on her sweet appearance and fiery body, just like those mindless blondes in the United States.
But after he listened for a long time, he put away his contempt and turned to stare seriously at the little Feiyan who was singing and dancing on the screen.
It's obvious that the song has a fast tempo, dense lyrics, and very few breath stops. In the United States, this kind of song is usually sung by a group of at least three to four people. Naturally, there will be no problem of insufficient ventilation points and difficulty in ventilating one person per sentence.
But this little girl did it abruptly, and there are almost no flaws that can be pointed out. Not to mention that her breath is very stable, her intonation is also quite good, and the score of 445 points is indeed a very pertinent and fair evaluation. .
The aunt in third place shocked him even more! The rough and powerful voice reminded him of a fat pop queen from the United States from the beginning.
She also has such powerful explosiveness and perfect singing voice, making every song of hers full of power and weight.
"It seems that I still need to revise my previous views on the Xia Guo singing scene. The singers here don't all seem to be incompetent..." Pete just wanted to adjust his views on this program under the shock of his aunt. Positioning and expectations, and then received a knowing blow from Ling Buwei's "Wukong".
This kind of singing technique that I have never heard before is combined with the melody of a song that I have never heard before, and the effect is so good!
How good is it? So good that Ling Buwei said
When he sang "Crush the sky, be wild and unruly", he felt as if his feet were about to leave the ground!
"Holyshift!" He swore loudly, but his eyes still did not leave Ling Buwei's figure on the screen.
It wasn't until he had finished singing that he quickly walked out of the lounge door at the urging of the competition assistant and came to the actor's entrance not far away to wait for the next one to come on stage.
Yes, that's right, he is the player who will be playing in the fifth one. What he chose to sing was the only Miwen song on this month’s new song rankings.
It's called "ohmyhoney" and it's a slow-tempo love song. Although the original song was sung by a female singer, she was not willing to
He went to practice foreign languages for a "merely" Xia Guo program, but he was too lazy to pick this song. After Wang Yuchang introduced him, he still felt a little dizzy when he went on stage.
He was still immersed in the state of being shocked by those songs just now, especially the dramatic melody of the last song "Wukong", and had not fully woken up.
To be honest, he had never experienced such a huge shock in his life. Can the song still be sung like this? Isn’t it too exciting?
Therefore, in this slightly confused and dizzy state, he didn't know how he finished singing "ohmyhoney".
By the time he came to his senses, there were cheers and applause from the audience. Although it was still very enthusiastic, he was keenly aware that the cheers and applause brought to him by these audiences were not as enthusiastic as those of the previous singers after their performances.
They show the most basic respect to me, a foreigner who has traveled thousands of miles to compete.
"Did I fail in my singing?" he thought in hindsight. But then he shook his head and got rid of this ridiculous thought.
How can it be! I am the strongest newcomer of 2022 selected by a music powerhouse like the United States!
How could it be possible for me to be timid and perform poorly in front of audiences from areas like you with backward music? Even if I'm a little distracted, I should still have an average score of 90, right?
Then he stood there with a polite smile and listened to several judges and guests making a long list of comments to him in a language he did not understand.
"Looking at their expressions and tone, they must be very satisfied with my performance." Pete thought with great satisfaction.
Then his expression became softer. No matter how backward the area is, since these low-level players from the Xia Kingdom respect me so much, I should also show my respect for them and not lose the etiquette of a powerful country with music.
He thought so, so he always cooperated with the other party's comments, and even smiled and nodded in conjunction with their tone and voice.
Although I don't understand.
"I am really a gentle and kind person. How many points will they give me? 90? 92? Or 95?" Just when Pete was immersed in his imagination and his mentality was so good, Zhao Yu, as the last one, The guest judge who commented has already finished his last comment: "That's it, Mr. Pete, your singing skills are very solid and your stage style is also very good. But as the judges just said, your investment in singing is Not enough."
"In many places where long-breathing high notes are required, you simply sing it, maintain it for a short while and then immediately stop breathing."
"When you sang some lyrics that required transitions, you only sang the beginning note and the ending note. You didn't express the ups and downs that needed to be melodious and melodious in the middle, which seemed a little awkward. be lazy."
"We don't know whether you are not very familiar with the melody of the song you want to sing, or whether you simply feel that these details do not need to be processed too carefully. But in the eyes of several of our judges, you are so A rough approach is not advisable, so no matter how good your singing skills are and how excellent your singing voice is, I can only give you a relatively average score, 81 points, sorry." Peter couldn't understand a word of Xia Mandarin. He understood, and although there was a real-time translation of the Xia language spoken by the other party in the ear, he was too lazy to listen to it. He even took it off and hung it on his ear because he thought it was a bit crowded.
Isn't it just an ordinary variety show from Xia Guo that can't even squeeze into the mainstream music circle? I haven't even heard the name of these before.
"Star", what qualifications do you have to be a judge for me, Pete White, to make irresponsible remarks to me? Therefore, when he smiled perfunctorily and prepared for his super high score, he was surprised to see a series of scores on the scoreboard above the opponent's position that he had never thought of!
"83!"
"81!"
"80!"
"81!"
"79!" The total score is 404 points!
"No, what's going on?" He hugged his head with both hands in surprise!
"Why is it so small? Did my eyes see wrongly?" He immediately rubbed his eyes vigorously with the backs of his hands, hoping that it was just his eyesight that made him see wrongly.
But when he looked at the score board again with his red eyes, he still saw those red scores!
"Shit!" He couldn't control his emotions and blurted out dirty words!
"You are jealous of my talent and my singing voice. Why are you giving me such a low score? You are such a shitty unknown." Maybe it's because I was used to being praised when I was in the United States.
Maybe it was because I was praised by relatives and friends since I was a child, so I flew into the sky early and never landed.
Therefore, Pete's character has always been very proud, proud, and even arrogant. This sudden score made him, who was used to being arrogant, suddenly break his defense!
Do you guys understand music? Have you ever heard what the singing voice of a high-quality human singer should sound like?
You scumbags, who can't even join the mainstream of the world's music scene and have never won a Grammy Award, have what qualifications do you have to judge me and deny me?
I! Pete White! But the best new artist in the country in 2022 in the music mecca of the United States!
Even Janice, a two-time Grammy winner, was polite to me! You Luthers, let me show you how a singer should sing, and you should be grateful for God's gift!
How dare you give me such a low score? It’s the other way around, isn’t it! Pete quits. As his anger surged, he suddenly forgot that this was the recording site for a national satellite TV program!
This is a huge stage that will be broadcast to Xia Kingdom’s 1.4 billion viewers across the country! Not to mention anything else, there were 500 live audience staring at it!
But he just didn't care about it, or he was so angry that he couldn't care about it anymore!
"You so-called 'stars' who can only enjoy themselves in your own country, how many good songs have you heard? How many world-class singers have you seen? How dare you belittle me like this? Belittle me who comes from pop culture The best new artist in the birthplace of music?!" He quickly walked from the center of the stage to where the judges were, and pointed viciously at the scoreboards above the heads of the judges and guests!
"Shit! You are all shit!"
"A bunch of losers, fakes, third-rate people who will never be able to enter the mainstream entertainment world!"... His angry curse immediately confused the five judges and guests on the stage, as well as the 500 people in the audience. Got it!
This, what is going on? Isn't this why when the judges just commented on some flaws in his singing and hoped that he could correct them in the future, he still smiled and nodded in agreement?
Just now, I was praising this foreign guy in my heart. Although his singing was not very good, his attitude towards accepting criticism was really good. He also had a good impression of this American singer named Pete. I wanted to search for his previous songs on the Internet. Come and listen to it and support him.
Why... it suddenly exploded? Although I couldn’t understand what he was scolding, I could understand it even with a little bit of cultural knowledge!
Seeing that he looked so excited and scolded so loudly and fiercely, was it the words of the judges that stimulated him?
Wasn't he still smiling the whole time? Zhao Yu's words are also very gentle. My sister is offending others! Oh, he rushed to the judges' table and pointed his finger at the score card... He was not there to beat the judges, so the audience could rest assured.
But looking at his performance, he must be dissatisfied with the score given to him, right? Why didn't you just say you were dissatisfied?
Didn't Erhuli translate it into Mi for you? Anyway, the audience looked at me and me in confusion, with confused faces.
But several of the judges on the stage have spent a lot of time dealing with foreigners. Although they are not very proficient in Mi, they can handle daily conversations.
They could hear Peter's series of curses and accusations clearly and clearly! Are you dissatisfied with the score we gave you?
Then when we were commenting just now, you kept nodding and smiling. Doesn't that mean that we are right? Instead, you were pretending to smile and cursing us in your heart while thinking about it.
"Say, keep talking, let me see what other faults you can find"? Is this guy such a grumpy character?
This is a satellite TV program for the whole country and even the world! Are you like this in your country, the one who rushes to scold the judges whenever you disagree with them?
So why did I give you a review?
"Best Newcomer"...is the United States already so free? Are all the judges in the United States so good-tempered?
It’s not like we haven’t been there before, and we’ve heard of these situations before!
