The legend of rebirth

Chapter 565 Farewell to the Past
Enjoying the awe-inspiring applause from the audience, Shirley Smith walked off the stage.

Ye Luo also stood in the first row of the auditorium, clapping with relief.

Although this song is not difficult to sing, Shirley's singing is particularly powerful and infectious.

Immediately afterwards, the host's words sounded: "Thank you Shirley. Alright, the next one is our soul singer, Abigail Livingston.

Mr. Ye Luo, I still have to ask you one more time, do you have anything to say about this new song? "

Ye Luo waved his hands, but didn't speak at all.

In fact, the setting of the host's questioning session has no other use for the first two songs. It is just to remind the audience that these songs were actually written by Ye Luo. When you listen to these contestants singing, don't forget the master.

The emcee's transition was brief, as Abigail lifted the skirt of her gown and began to step onto the stage.

She was greeted by cheers and applause from the audience.

The ratings of more than 5000 million have already made the contestants of the program "Music Rescue" almost household names in the United States. Needless to say their popularity, even Abigail, who is relatively weak among the top three, also has a large number of fans.

Those who benefit from this phenomenon are not only Beauty Records, Leshi.com, Abigail herself, but also Abigail's previous record company.

Abigail released two albums before. She was signed to a mid-label record company called Canxing Records. The two albums originally sold a total of [-] yuan. into the national market.

Seeing that Abigail participated in the competition, the popularity is soaring. The boss of Canxing Records is not stupid. He hurriedly released Abigail's old records again, and took the initiative to approach Beauty Records, asking for cooperation, and promoting this in the American market. Two records.

Of course, Song Yan would not refuse this kind of door-to-door sale. The two old albums were repackaged and released. They started selling last week, and the sales volume has also exceeded the 500 million mark.

Originally, Abigail could not get a penny of this sale money.She violated the singer's contract because of taking drugs, so the previous sharing agreement with Canxing naturally ceased to exist, and the copyright of the record was in Canxing's hands, so the profits from this reprint have nothing to do with her.

Abigail was at the end of her rope before she came to the show.

After she came out of the drug rehabilitation center, her personal savings were wiped out, and the drug dealer husband who led her astray had long since run away, so she could only support the family by singing in a nightclub, and raised a pair of children under ten years old.

And the nightclub where she sang was a relatively low-end black nightclub, where drugs were rampant. As a person with a history of drug abuse, working in this environment, the possibility of relapse was almost [-]%.

The meager income, harsh working environment, and harsh life pressure have made Abigail almost unbearable. Sooner or later, she will take drugs again, and she will sink completely from then on.

And at this time, she learned that the "Music Salvation" program had started auditions, and she, who was not reconciled to sinking, felt that this was an opportunity.

This opportunity, she seized.

However, she has been recording programs recently, and she rarely goes back home, so she can only entrust her children to her elderly parents, and now she does not go to nightclubs to sing, and her financial resources are cut off.

Seeing that her situation was really difficult, Ye Luo asked Song Yan to transfer 100 million US dollars into her account in the name of advance payment of the singer's salary two days ago.

Because of this, Ye Luo was scolded by Song Yan for a while: "You will reduce the singer's hunger and affect her performance in the final."

Ye Luo smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers."

In short, the money was given, and Abigail's urgent need was resolved. Ye Luo himself was very much looking forward to how much energy Abigail, who had no worries about the future, would be able to display on the final stage.

Because the two songs that Ye Luo chose for Abigail today are classics in soul music, especially the latter one, which is at the level of classics handed down from generation to generation, and has higher requirements for singers.

On the stage, Abigail's dress reached the ground, and her eyes were full of confidence.

Abigail's appearance, in terms of Ye Luo's aesthetics, is not pretty, but the aesthetics of Easterners and Westerners are still a little different.

Ye Luo recently looked at the comments on the Internet, and found that Americans have a high opinion of Abigail's appearance, thinking that she is very temperamental, especially with her long legs and thin waist, she looks like a queen on the stage.

Perhaps because of the psychological effects of such comments, Ye Luo found that Abigail was indeed very moving today.

Her facial features have the typical characteristics of African women, thick lips, slightly collapsed nose, but the position of the facial features is very correct, the eyes are also big and energetic, coupled with that black tunic dress, confident and comfortable demeanor, this The singer does appear very mature.

The self-confidence of a mature singer cannot be cultivated in a recording studio. It must be on stage. Only live singing on the stage is the real way to train a singer.

Although Abigail sang in a low-end nightclub before, that was also a stage, which allowed her singing skills to be polished more carefully. Now that she has saved [-] consecutive episodes of music, the big stage in the studio has made her even more rewarding confidence.

But as a music reality show contestant, or as a singer, the most important thing is not the momentary popularity, nor is it personal skills or self-confidence, but to have good works.

Only with this can she truly stand up.From then on, her career as a singer can be stabilized and improved to a higher level, instead of being popular for a while and then falling silent.

After the applause subsided, a series of dense and pleasant piano sounds sounded in the studio hall.

Beside Abigail is a black grand piano, the pianist is a middle-aged white man, the most famous soul pianist in the New York music circle.

Abigail begins by humming, then enters the lyrics:

"Some people live for the fortune,

Some live for riches,

Some people live just for the fame,

Some people just live for fame,

Some people live for the power, yeah.

Some people live for power.

Some people live just to play the game
Some people are just playing with life,
Some people think that the physical things define what's within.

Some people think that appearance determines what is inside.

And I've been there before,

I've been there too,
But that lives a bore,

But this life is boring,

So full of the superficial.

Full of superficial things.

Some people want it all,

Some people want to have it all,
But I dont want nothing at all,

But I don't want anything,
If it aint you baby.

If it wasn't you I got, baby.

If I aint got you baby
If I don't have you, baby.

Some people want diamond rings,

Some people want diamond rings,

Some just want everything.

Some people just want to have it all.

But everything means nothing,

But all this is nothing,

If I aint got you.

If I don't have you.

......"

Song title: "If I Aint Got You", translated as "If I Can't Get You".

It could be a soul-style love song, or it could be more than that.

The significance of Abigail singing this song is similar to what she sang "I Have Nothing" on the previous show.

She needs to be recognized by fans again, both in personality and in skills.

Obviously, the effect of this song on the spot made Abigail get his wish.

With her perfect soul voice, she performed this song amazingly.

When a person's skill reaches a certain level, personal morality seems to be less important. What's more, Abigail just went astray for a while, and now she has found her way back.

Such an Abigail, such a song, fans are naturally happy to accept it.

The progress of the first two songs was very smooth. Ye Luo was very satisfied with the performance of the singers, and the audience was also very satisfied.

Now that everything is fine, let's continue to record.

The next singer to appear will be Henry Dean.

The host reappeared, said a transitional word, and then asked Ye Luo as usual: "Do you have anything to say about this song?"

Just when everyone thought Ye Luo would continue to pretend to be aggressive or cute, Ye Luo nodded with a smile and said, "Last week when Henry and I were eating boxed lunch backstage, we talked about marriage.

As a man who is about to get married, I think it is necessary to ask Henry, a married man, how to get along with his wife after marriage. "

When Ye Luo said this, he deliberately paused, and the audience immediately roared with laughter.

As we all know, Henry's own married life was nothing short of a disaster.

"Of course, I ended the topic in time afterwards." Ye Luo scratched his head in embarrassment, which elicited laughter again.

"But no matter what, everyone will experience failures, and sometimes you need to say goodbye to the past in order to welcome a better future." Ye Luo said again, and then signaled the host to finish speaking.

The host seemed confused: "Mr. Ye Luo, does what you said have anything to do with this song?"

"It seems that it doesn't matter." Ye Luo spread her hands.

Laughter erupted for the third time in the studio.

Amidst the laughter, Henry Dean stepped onto the stage.
