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

Chapter 23 The Darkest Moment of Chinese Music

"The final number of votes for Yuanhong Band is 76!"

The results came out, as expected, Yuanhong Band was ranked last among the three singers.

"Why do I feel like something is wrong going on like this? The first place in the first round is going to be taken by a European or American singer."

"Don't feel it, it's highly likely that Avril was the first to appear, and she performed perfectly."

"Why are you starting to show off to others? Don't be so impatient. Aren't there still the singing king Tao and the little singing queen Su Zhi behind us?"

"Tao Zidan may be able to pull one back, but Su Zhi is unlikely to do so. She is still too young and inexperienced. And don't forget, William hasn't even played yet!"

The show "Singer" was only halfway through and the comments were already noisy.

There is no way. The singers this season are slightly different. The live broadcast format has brought far more popularity than before. Coupled with the participation of two well-known European and American singers, too many things are likely to cause controversy.

Most people think that no matter which country the singer is from, strength is what matters, and if you lose, you lose, there is nothing to say.

Some other netizens were unwilling to accept that the variety show they had hosted was won by a foreign singer in the very first episode.

But everything is okay now, at least everyone thinks that Tao Zidan behind has the ability to get back on track.

What happened next was the real bad news.

The fourth person to appear was the European and American singer William.

The good news is that the song William chose was not a very competitive one, but a very orthodox country song.

The bad news is that William's performance was almost impeccable and it was another near-perfect performance.

Just with a simple guitar accompaniment, the audience at the scene and in front of the screen were completely immersed in it.

The song is not difficult to sing, but William's stage performance is quite charming. The singer is fully committed to it, and in this state, the stage's appeal is almost at its maximum.

“91 votes.”

Second only to Avril Lavigne who was the first to appear, but she also successfully reached the 90 mark.

"It's hard to imagine that the show won't be very popular now."

“It’s mango indeed”

Guo Zihao couldn't help but sigh.

As a celebrity agent, he is much more sensitive to public opinion than ordinary people.

He could almost guess how big a public opinion storm would be stirred up on the Internet after the first episode of "Singer" was aired.

"Isn't this a high number? I feel like the production team is intentionally manipulating the number of votes."

"Please calm down, conspiracy theorists. Isn't voting done with real names? And honestly, isn't William's performance worthy of such a number of votes?"

"I think Mango is planning to completely tear down the fig leaf of the domestic music scene. I can only say that they are doing a good job."

"Strictly speaking, Avril and William are not considered the top singers in Europe and the United States. Is it true that there are no singers in our country who can even compete with them?"

"Don't worry, everyone! Tao Zidan will be next. It's too early to draw conclusions now!"

After William's vote count came out, the discussion on the barrage became more heated.

As a result, Guo Zihao also became a little nervous.

"Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"If the current public opinion is that the two European and American singers really take the top two spots, then the other domestic singers on the show, including Su Zhi, will probably be put on the spot."

Guo Zihao's speculation is not unreasonable.

Of course, what he was most worried about was the impact on Xu Kong.

After all, he already knew in advance that the new song that Su Zhi was going to sing on the show was written by Xu Kong.

If the number of votes is too low, you will definitely be implicated.

Before, Guo Zihao just thought that Xu Kong would be blamed by Su Zhi’s fans.

But given the current situation, it will not just be Su Zhi’s fans who will join the public opinion crusade, there will also be many passers-by.

"It's still early. There's no need to be so nervous about watching a show."

Xu Kong, on the contrary, appeared to be relatively calm.

Strictly speaking, if Su Zhi could really perform well, Xu Kong didn't think that the song he wrote for her would not be able to get more votes than Avril Lavigne and William.

When he first wrote that song, Xu Kong was still a little hesitant.

At first I just wanted to give her a perfunctory response, but after listening to some of Su Zhi's previous songs and thinking about what I did to her in the hotel room, I still sent it to her. Just think of it as a small compensation.

Bad news comes one after another, and Murphy's Law never disappoints.

Many viewers are worried whether Tao Zidan, the king of singing, will make mistakes like Guan Yan did before.

The final result was that although Tao Zidan did not make any mistakes, his performance on the spot can only be described as hard to describe.

There were no mistakes, because almost the entire concert was a complete disaster and it cannot be described only by mistakes.

"Why is Tao Zidan's voice so bad now?"

"I thought his song wasn't that difficult, so why was it so hard to sing it?"

“I can’t sing the high notes anymore, and I’ve deliberately avoided singing some of my past songs that had high notes that were too difficult, but it’s still the same.”

"It's terrible, even worse than the previous lead singer of the Rainbow Band."

During Tao Zidan's singing, the filter of the barrage for this king of singers who once had many glorious moments was completely shattered.

Xu Kong was also a little surprised. In the original owner's memory, although Tao Zidan sang pop songs most of the time, his singing skills had always been praised, especially his soul-stirring high notes.

I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Moreover, he was not at all unfamiliar with Tao Zidan's vocal problems at the moment; he was very familiar with them.

He was like this in his previous life.

Because of irregular work and rest, alcoholism, and bad smoking habits, by the time I realized what was happening, my throat was already completely ruined.

This is also the reason why Xu Kong had to give up his original plan to become a singer and turn to acting.

Tao Zidan’s throat problem was definitely not as serious as it was in his previous life.

But at the same time, Tao Zidan does not rely on her looks to make a living. For such a talented singer, if she has problems with her voice, it almost means that half of her career is over.

From now on, whether it’s various evening performances or music festivals, I’ll have to say goodbye to open mics and become a complete studio singer.

"Singer Tao Zidan, the final vote count is .79 votes."

When the results came out, many viewers felt quite sad.

Xu Kong was also a little confused. If he were Tao Zidan and knew his own situation, he would definitely not accept the invitation from the "Singer" program team.

After all, even at concerts, various music festivals and performances, you can still choose to half-open the mic or lip-sync to get by.

Now the problem with my voice has been completely exposed, and there is no room for maneuver.

These two veteran singers who were originally placed with high hopes by everyone, one made an unnecessary mistake, and the other completely fell from the altar.

Many viewers have been completely disappointed.

The only ones left at this time were Yu Huai, a relatively unknown figure in the music industry, and Su Zhi, China's youngest singing queen.

It is not impossible for the two of them to surpass Avril Lavigne and William in front of them on the stage, but it is really a bit too much to ask.

It gives me a sense of déjà vu of "Go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples.jpg".

Yu Huai was the sixth to appear on stage and also sang his own song.

It's an R&B song, and the performance is pretty stable without any major mistakes. Of course, it's not too eye-catching either.

In the end, he got 82 votes, which was actually the best result except for two European and American singers.

Tao Zidan had just finished her performance, so everyone was quite tolerant of Yu Huai.

At least as a newcomer in the music industry, his performance is very good.

"The darkest moment of Chinese music"

"Alas, now the fig leaf of the domestic music scene has been completely torn off."

“What are these singers doing in the country?”

Many viewers watching the live broadcast felt a little uncomfortable. After a quick comparison, is the gap that big?

Moreover, among the singers in this episode, Tao Zidan and Guan Yan are already among the top singers in the country."

Just as the comments were full of admiration, Su Zhi, the last person to appear, walked onto the stage.

She was wearing a black evening dress today, which, paired with her refined short hair, was quite eye-catching.

As the lights on the scene dimmed, a soft piano prelude began to play.
