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

Chapter 292 Do you like it? I am too embarrassed to reveal it

"Xu Kong is very likely to win the championship."

As a media judge on the scene at this moment, Feiniao naturally noticed something.

The atmosphere at the scene was the highest among all the participating singers until Xu Kong was interviewed by the host.

Although programs like "Singer" have undergone strict review of live audiences, they can still represent the thoughts and feelings of some audiences.

In fact, compared to others, Xu Kong has the least desire to be the champion of "Singer".

Feiniao himself knows that with his opponent's current popularity and reputation, it won't make much difference whether he wins "Singer" or not.

It's nothing more than adding an honor that has no great significance.

In comparison, last year Xu Kong wrote the lyrics, composed the music and produced Su Zhixin's album alone, and it directly won the best album award of the three major domestic music awards. This is an achievement that will truly be recorded in the history of the Chinese music scene.

……

In comparison, the other singers on the show include Jian Junfang, a veteran singer who is already semi-retired, and the only European and American singer who stayed.

It is obvious that the others all need the championship of this season's "Singer".

This will be of great help to their career development now and in the long run.

For example, there is no need to say much about Su Yuwei and Xu Shangyi. They are both promising newcomers in China, and they have always been suppressed by Xu Kong alone. If they can win the championship of "Singer", the popularity and traffic brought by this show alone will be quite exaggerated.

In addition, the same goes for Lan Shu. She has been in the industry for quite some time, but has always been tepid.

If we can successfully win the championship, it means we have really made it.

The Maple Leaf group was once very popular, but is now in a semi-outdated state. They definitely want to win the championship.

Strictly speaking, the semi-final lineup of "Singer" this time was affected by the elimination of veteran singer Wang Songjie and a European and American singer.

It seems that the guest lineup has become a little worse, but at least it is no longer the previous situation where everyone has no motivation. Many singers obviously want to win.

……

Among Xu Kong’s current identities, being a singer is no longer something that people take too seriously.

Especially after the success of "Sweet Honey", it seems that Xu Kong is the biggest hope among the future generation of domestic directors.

Everyone has other expectations for Xu Kong.

And judging from his absence from several previous episodes, Xu Kong is still participating in the semi-finals and finals of "Singer".

It is likely that he has signed a contract with Mango TV, so it is not easy to completely announce his withdrawal from the competition.

But even so, Xu Kong doesn't have much desire to fight, and maybe he just wrote the song just before recording the show recently. Can these other singers win?
Although people like Xu Shangyi, Yang Jiangjie and Xu Kong are known as the four newcomers in the Chinese music scene.

But most netizens and listeners, including Feiniao, would not really compare Xu Kong with the other three people.

This is not a question of whether or not they can be compared.

Moreover, in everyone's basic understanding, Xu Kong is no longer on the same level as some other young singers.

……

"Let us welcome the first singer to perform in the semi-finals, Xu Shangyi!"

While Fat Bird was thinking, the game had officially begun.

The first person to appear was Xu Shangyi, who was known as one of the four newcomers together with Xu Kong.

Xu Shangyi also started out as an independent musician. He released his own songs on QQ Music in the early days, but they were never very popular.

Until later on, a folk-style single suddenly became a hit, and then it was like a chain of godsend, with each song becoming a hit.

He is not a top student who graduated from a professional music program.

After graduation, I worked in real estate sales for a while, and later started to be a food-related self-media blogger.

But obviously, there hasn't been much improvement.

What really made him famous was the folk songs he has been writing until now.

In sharp contrast to Xu Shangyi's face, which looked young and even immature, was the other person's rather deep voice.

This kind of voice doesn't have much potential, but it is just right for singing folk songs that require a sense of story and narrative.

……

"New song?"

“I feel the quality is really good…”

The young music director next to Fat Bird made his comment.

"It's not really a new song. He didn't release it from his new album a while ago..."

Feiniao gives sharp reviews on songs by various domestic singers every day.

Of course, I have also studied Xu Shangyi's new album.

This song "Wind Whisper in the City" is from the other party's new album.

It was not released when the album was first released, but now it seems that it should have been prepared to be sung on "Singer" a long time ago.

I have to say that Xu Shangyi's lyrics are really well written.

It's not too fancy, but it can give people a great sense of immersion.

In particular, the loneliness of going to a big city alone to work hard and having no one to confide in is probably something that many workers can relate to.

……

Fat Bird doesn't dislike the young musician Xu Shangyi.

Especially compared with Yang Jiangjie, the viewing experience is definitely much better.

The other party is not a genius like Xu Kong, and is not even as good as the other two among the four newcomers.

Yang Jiangjie and Bai Ran are actually not as good as Xu Kong, but their musical talent is definitely very high.

As for Xu Shangyi, he is actually a latecomer, and it is through his persistence and hard work that he gradually became famous and has reached where he is today.

Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Xu Shangyi has invested a lot of emotion in his works, regardless of the quality.

This is the most rare thing, and it is also the only thing that Fei Niao, a veteran troll, really cannot troll.

...

"The singer Xu Shangyi, the final number of votes is..."

"87 votes!"

The votes came out, and actually as the first guest to appear in the semi-finals, this number of votes is already quite good.

It’s not very low.

But it is definitely unlikely to get first place in the semi-finals, and even getting into the top three depends on luck.

In fact, the quality of the songs is good, and although Xu Shangyi is a latecomer, it can be seen that he has worked hard in his singing skills and stage performance. Although he is not as good as many veteran first-line singers, he is quite outstanding compared with the current young singers.

The only problem is that the song itself is a relatively niche genre, folk music, which does put it at a disadvantage on such a competitive stage.

But it can be seen that Xu Shangyi probably didn't expect to get very good results this time. His main purpose was to promote his new album.

……

The second person to appear was Jian Junfang, a veteran singer.

He sang an old song of his that was not very popular.

Needless to say, his performance was natural and steady as an old dog.

It's completely studio level, and even as an R&B song, it gives Fat Bird the feeling that the live version is even better than the original.

There is a reason why the song is not well-known. The quality of the song is just average. Otherwise, it would have been popular a long time ago after being released for so many years.

In the end, he got 88 votes, slightly higher than Xu Shangyi.

The King of Singers' performance, singing skills, and stage presence are totally incomparable to the current Xu Shangyi.

It can also be seen that Jian Junfang did not put in any effort, otherwise he would not have chosen such an unpopular old song.

……

"Teacher Jian is too Buddhist. It's already the semi-finals, and I haven't seen her really take the show seriously for a few episodes."

"I don't need to win the Singer title to prove anything. I just need to enjoy the stage."

"What a pity. In fact, I feel that the only one who can really compete with Xu Kong is the complete form of King Jian Ge, but it can be seen that Teacher Jian is not that competitive."

At this time, the barrage also gave their own comments.

I have to say that among the audience watching "Singer", there are still many people who understand me.

For a veteran singer like Jian Junfang who is still very popular today, his fan base must not be too bad.

But most of them don’t have as strong fighting desire as the fans of today’s young artists.

Even those who came just to watch Jian Junfang's performance did not care too much about the results of the competition. ...

At this time, backstage among the contestants of "Singer", Lan Shu had just finished watching Jian Junfang's performance and felt mixed emotions.

Of course she could see that Jian Junfang had chosen this song on purpose.

As her guide into the industry, he really didn't care about the championship and ranking of "Singer".

On the contrary, because of the participation of Lan Shu and Xu Kong, with whom he has the best relationship and whom he admires the most, he is more willing to give more exposure and traffic to these young people.

Lan Shu really wants to win the championship of "Singer", and she has made a lot of preparations for this show.

But she knew in her heart that the biggest obstacle was not Jian Junfang, but Xu Kong, who was younger than her but whom she didn't think she could beat.

Xu Kong is indeed special, not just as a singer. In terms of singing skills, Lan Shu thinks that he can be on par with Xu Kong.

He is definitely one of the best young singers under the age of 30 in terms of singing skills and performance.

She is no worse than this first-line singer who has been in the industry for many years.

But on the other hand, Xu Kong’s identity as the lyricist and composer is the real bug.

Lan Shu's recognition of Xu Kong's creative talent and ability even exceeds that of some well-known songwriters in the circle.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to go to so much trouble to ask Jian Junfang for help and even ask him for songs.

……

While Lan Shu was still thinking, the third singer had already started his performance.

This European and American singer seems to be doing things for money.

He was originally paid for the appearance fee, and up to now, the show has not opened up much of the Chinese market that he had expected.

Although he was still very dedicated and showed off his high notes.

But the audience who watched the entire season of the show have already become immune to it.

The final vote count barely reached 82 votes.

The language barrier and the lack of resonance in the lyrics are indeed one reason.

But more importantly, the song itself is not good enough and the style does not suit the preferences of domestic audiences.

Otherwise, music is one of those special languages ​​that can definitely hinder communication.

……

The next group to appear was the Maple Leaf group, which was even more difficult to describe.

Although they are well-known, they were able to stay in the previous episodes of the show because they sang several of their representative works together again after many years.

This time without the bonus of memory, the songs sung still have a familiar flavor, but their popularity has declined a lot.

Moreover, the style of the music is a bit too old, so it is difficult to surprise people or leave a particularly deep impression.

The fact that it received 78 votes was probably due to the so-called memory filters of some media judges.

If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Feiniao thinks that the Maple Leaf group will probably get the lowest number of votes.

……

In fact, the Maple Leaf group has been popular for quite a few years.

Especially compared with some young idols who become out of fashion in two or three years, his career is quite long and enviable.

But precisely because of this, even if the two of them really plan to reunite and try again from scratch.

It's not that easy.

The most important thing is still the issue of the work.

It's impossible to always rely on the old songs to reap the audience's emotions.

And releasing new songs is not an easy task.

Both of them are in their forties and fifties, and their condition is no longer as good as it was in the past, and the style of the songs definitely needs to change.

There are problems everywhere, and none of them are easy to solve.

Even for a program with huge traffic like "Singer", the effect it brings is still limited.

……

Xu Kong was the second to last to appear.

It was actually the best to appear.

This is what Wu Youxue meant.

The main reason is that he also knows that Xu Kong has a large amount of traffic, and only by appearing last can he retain the audience in the live broadcast room.

But it was still a draw after all, and it was impossible to completely control the situation. With a general probability, Xu Kong would be the second to last to appear.

The last one was taken away by Lan Shu.

This was not good news for her.

After all, performing behind Xu Kong, let alone her, anyone else, even some singing kings and queens, would definitely feel pressured.

She had already witnessed this in Xu Kongzai's previous episodes.

After Xu Kong finished singing, both the atmosphere on the scene and the media judges were affected.

……

The next to appear is Su Yuwei.

Of course, she might be the most nervous singer among all the live singers.

There's no way. Age is one thing. Apart from Xu Kong, she is the youngest.

But Xu Kong's stage performance is mature and not like what a singer of his age can have.

As for the rest, they are all veterans in terms of stage experience.

This includes people like Xu Shangyi and Lan Shu. Although Xu Shangyi has not been famous for a long time, he actually often traveled around to perform when he was an independent musician.

The main purpose is to make money, so I will take on any kind of performance, and as a result I have accumulated a lot of experience in live performances.

"Looking for Love"

"Lyrics and music: Xu Yang"

"Singer: Su Yuwei"

……

"Written by Xu Yang? A new song?"

When Fat Bird saw the song information, he was stunned for a moment.

Then I felt a little emotional. Jiying Media was indeed very caring towards Su Yuwei, a newcomer.

Before it was Guo Min, this time it was Xu Yang, almost all of them are well-known songwriters and composers in China.

Being able to have both of them help write songs is a treatment that not many people can have, especially for such a young singer.

Su Yuwei's voice is relatively high-pitched and bright, especially the high notes, which are very clean and penetrating.

After entering the chorus of this song, it can be seen that it was almost written specifically for the other party.

The quality of the song is not low, and it is even quite amazing when you hear it for the first time.

Feiniao feels that there is a certain probability that he will become a little famous after the semi-finals of "Singer".

It can be seen that Su Yuwei and Jiying Media also have ideas about the champion of this "Singer".

……

“The quality is very high!”

"She's pretty, sings well, and gives people a stupid and gullible feeling. I like her!"

"Do you like it? I'm embarrassed to expose you..."

Su Yuwei is very popular among the public, and the comments were full of praise for her.

After all, there is really nothing wrong with this young, beautiful and talented new singer.

The final number of votes exceeded many people's expectations.

"Singer Su Yuwei, the final number of votes is..."

"93 votes!"

……
