I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 22 Two European and American singers are coming
"The live broadcast has just started, how come it's already number one on the trending search list?"

Guo Zihao was amazed at the popularity of the show.

Xu Kong, on the other hand, was not surprised.

After all, with such a lineup of contestants and the fact that the show is broadcast live, it is normal that it is so popular.

Not to mention that this is a program from Mango TV, and they are very good at marketing and promotion.

"Let's welcome the first singer to appear on stage"

"Avril!"

After talking for a long time, we finally entered the formal performance session.

The first person to appear on stage was one of the European and American singers invited by the "Singer" program team.

Avril Lavigne is quite famous. Most domestic audiences, including Xu Kong, have heard her well-known representative works.

"Fuck, I feel like some of our domestic singers may not be able to get first place this time."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Avril's popular songs in China are mostly pop songs, but she has won all the awards she deserves in Europe and the United States."

"There's no need to be pessimistic. Guan Yan and Tao Zidan are both strong. There shouldn't be such a big gap between them."

Because it was a live broadcast, various comments from the audience appeared on the screen.

As expected, Avril Lavigne, who was the first to perform, sang an English song, which was not one of the representative works that domestic netizens have heard.

Xu Kong can be considered a half-expert. Although his singing career in his previous life has been criticized, he has also undergone systematic training.

So as the magnificent piano music sounded, starting with the exaggerated high notes, Xu Kong knew that Avril's singing skills had indeed reached a somewhat exaggerated level.

Moreover, the entire process was broadcast live, and we still didn't hear any obvious mistakes.

“Too stable”

I couldn't help but sigh.

With rich stage experience and incredibly steady performance, it is obvious that "Singer" invited him to come this time not to be a runner-up or just a cameo.

"Now, please invite the 100 media judges present to vote."

Avril's singing ended and the voting session soon began.

Because it was a live broadcast, the announcement of the votes was not delayed as usual.

"92 votes!"

"Congratulations!"

As the vote count was announced, discussions on the barrage of comments were once again sparked.

“A reasonable, almost perfect performance!”

“WTF, the competition is so intense, but the first singer who came up got over 90 votes?!!”

"Does it feel like inviting Avril and William to participate is a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack?"

Although it is just a variety show, because of the participation of European and American singers, it is inevitable that most viewers will compare domestic singers with others.

If they lose on their own show, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among many netizens.

Of course, in the live broadcast format, it’s okay if you lose, but it would be more embarrassing if the votes were secretly manipulated or something.

It can be seen from Avril's number of votes that the production team of "Singer" has no intention of doing any of those little tricks.

The second person to appear is Guan Yan.

Before he officially started performing on stage, the comments were already full of cheers, and it was obvious that everyone had high hopes for Guan Yan.

After all, in a regular national team, with Avril, a European and American singer, performing so well, most people hope to see Guan Yan’s votes exceed that of the other team.

"Sandstorm"

"Lyrics: Cao Yixian"

"Composition: Cao Yixian"

"Singer: Guan Yan"

Guan Yan did not choose his own song, but instead chose a more niche song.

A professional competitive stage like this for singers is different from some ordinary talent shows.

Especially when it comes to song selection, there are many things to consider, and the difficulty of singing the song largely determines the singer's performance ceiling.

An ordinary love song, even if performed perfectly, still won't get a high score. This is a common consensus after so many seasons of the show "Singer". "Do you think Guan Yan can get more votes than Avril?"

Guo Zihao asked.

Xu Kong shook his head lightly.

"It's hard."

"It's not because Avril's singing and stage performance are much better than Guan Yan's."

"It's obvious that Guan Yan is under a lot of pressure right now."

Because it was a live broadcast, as soon as Guan Yan came on stage, Xu Kong knew from his body and facial expressions that Guan Yan, a veteran in the music industry, was a little too nervous.

As an artist who also performs on some large stages, he is very familiar with that feeling, having experienced it too many times in his previous life.

In comparison, perhaps because she didn't care about the public opinion in China, Avril Lavigne in front was quite relaxed.

The more you do this, the better your performance will be when you sing.

There is nothing that can be done about it, it's a definite home field disadvantage.

Sure enough, before Xu Kong could finish his words, Guan Yan, who had just started singing, made a very obvious mistake.

Without post-production sound editing and editing, the risks of live streaming are revealed at this moment.

"Did Guan Yan just sing out of tune?"

"I went back and listened to it again, and there was indeed a mistake."

"What a pity! Such an obvious mistake happened at the very beginning."

Even many ordinary audiences could hear it. Such a mistake was too fatal.

Even though Guan Yan, who had rich stage experience, adjusted himself in a short period of time, the result could not be changed.

"The singer Guan Yan finally received 83 votes!"

Almost because of that mistake at the beginning, the vote gap was widened to nearly ten votes.

"Why do I feel like these two European and American singers are really going to take first place this time?"

"Guan Yan made a mistake. Otherwise, the result would be hard to predict."

"Alas, now we can only place our hopes on the other singers behind us."

Most of the audience also felt sorry.

In fact, Guan Yan was quite stable in both song selection and performance on stage. Strictly speaking, she was not inferior to Avril Lavigne’s performance earlier.

But if you make a mistake, there's nothing you can do. It's already quite difficult to get more than 80 votes.

The third band to perform was the rock band Yuanhong.

They sang their own song, a rock song that was quite popular in the country.

Compared with the previous two singers, Yuanhong Band is much less well-known.

Many viewers on the barrage obviously didn’t recognize him.

“This scene feels a bit off!”

"The lead singer can't catch his breath. The difference in vocal conditions is too big!"

"I don't like it. It's too noisy. It makes my ears hurt."

The audience showed no mercy when they criticized people. In this era, the thing that is most lacking is keyboard warriors.

Of course, it’s also because Yuanhong’s performance is really hard to describe.

Xu Kong could see that the lead singer had tried his best. Such a performance could be regarded as the finale at most music festivals in the country.

But on a professional stage like "Singer", defects in voice and singing skills will be infinitely magnified.

Especially since the entire process was broadcast live, it was very obvious that there was a huge gap between the lead singer of Yuanhong Band and the two predecessors mentioned above.

There is no other way. Yuanhong Band was mentally prepared to participate in the "Singer" program.

The purpose is more to promote the song, and it is obvious that he does not care too much about the result of the competition.

To use the words of many netizens in the barrage at this time, it is definitely a high-level game.
