“Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we”
(I can understand that you would push me away. You are so traumatized by destructive arguments that we are like a couple of psychos.)
Ari Ferre's rap is not easy to understand, especially for non-native English-speaking Chinese audiences.
The singing rhythm of rappers is very fast, not to mention Ari Ferre, his mouth is like a machine gun, and a lot of words pop out! Even Shun Liangwei, who has listened to his raps many times, also agrees with him.
If I can't match his speed, I won't try to understand the meaning of the lyrics and just focus on the synergy between him and Yang Qian's drumming.
Singing fast and accurately is normal for top rap masters. The reason why Ali Ferre is so popular among foreign countries is that his singing has characteristics that are different from black rap. It does not have that flowing charm at all.
.And what’s rare is that he sings every word very clearly. Even if you don’t understand it, you won’t think that he is singing blindly or cutting corners.
"It's really not easy to memorize such a large section of lyrics accurately!"
Cen Liangwei watched the live broadcast and sighed in his heart.
Thinking of this, an interesting question suddenly popped up in his mind.
There is a high probability that this song was written by Yang Qian, but was the rap part still written by Yang Qian?
It’s not that Shun Liangwei doubted that Yang Qian couldn’t write rap lyrics. Although Yang Qian was definitely not an orthodox rapper, he had written rap songs before and even sung rap songs himself, such as “Daoxiang”
, Cen Liangwei’s memory is still fresh.
But the rap in this song is obviously too professional, right? Moreover, the words are purely in English, and they don’t sound like the expression structure of Chinglish at all.
No matter how professional Yang Qian's English is, no matter how good his oral skills are, he shouldn't be able to write such rap lyrics, right?
Shun Liangwei even felt like he was listening to a pure Western rap performance!
If you listen to the above paragraph, the rhyme is so interesting!
It even rhymes with just a few words, making it sound aggressive, like two people having a verbal quarrel, which is extra intense!
In fact, Shun Liangwei's guess was correct. The content of the lyrics indeed tells about the couple's anxious state of falling in love and fighting each other, arguing fiercely and being reluctant to let go of each other, as well as their inner struggles and pulls.
Ari Ferre's performance was also particularly eye-catching. He sang very hard, with veins popping out on his face. The close-up shots provided in the program captured these details.
This scene is not just cool! It can also resonate with many viewers who have experienced it.
In a love that was once so sweet, how could you not be sad when you see it drifting away from you? How could you not go crazy? How could you not lose your mind and become a madman?
Just at this time, Ouyang Xiaoqing also dragged her heavy princess dress back to the main stage. The two seemed to be confronting each other, and they circled around each other amidst Ari Feyre's ferocious singing!
Ouyang Xiaoqing, who was wearing high heels, walked gracefully and turned around neatly. Her eyes under her red hair seemed to be bursting with a sharp and indifferent light that can only come from the collision of ice and fire.
This scene will definitely impress the countless viewers behind the live broadcast signal. Their eyes and movements are so dramatic!
The comments in Cen Liangwei's live broadcast room also praised Ouyang Xiaoqing:
"Wow! Xiaoqing's performance is so cool!"
"I just realized that Ouyang Xiaoqing also has so many wonderful sides!"
"As expected of a musical theater student! What a great performance!"
"I can't help but believe that they seem to have had a relationship, even though I know that they have only known each other for a week."
"My Ari Feyre, wow, they sing so beautifully!"
"I was killed by Ouyang Xiaoqing's look!"
"By the way, have we forgotten Teacher Yang? He seems to have become invisible in this performance!"
The one at the back really summarized it very well. Yang Qian only had those few shots. The program team behind him filmed the entire main stage and didn't let him show up at all.
It's also right not to let Yang Qian show up. This song is originally an emotional drama between the two singers. If he were to interject it again, how weird would the atmosphere be?
Of course, Yang Qian is not completely gone. His jazz drumming has always been the main theme of the accompaniment, especially when Ari Ferre sings. The distinctive and powerful drum beats perfectly match Ari Ferre's emotions.
Together, they bring a stronger emotional impact to the audience.
".This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
With you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you, I'm out it!"
(Translation: This house is huge, but if you move out, I will burn the entire two thousand square feet. Yes, you can leave me! I am still sane when I am with you
, without you, I lose control!)
The lyrics sung by Ari Ferre actually don't have many curse words. Unlike many Western raps nowadays, which are either guns or sex, they are full of filth and spread extreme and ugly ideas.
The man's lyrics in this song are more of an emotional struggle, because he is reluctant to let go, so under the ferocious anger, what he sings is a kind of reverse plea that seems to be very ferocious, but is actually very painful and fragile.
This contrast is obviously reflected in Ouyang Xiaoqing!
Just before Ari Feyre's rap song ended, Ouyang Xiaoqing sadly hugged her slender arms and opened them again. She opened her arms and looked up at the sky, as if she was singing in tears:
“Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts,
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that's all right because I love the way you lie"
(Translation: Just stand there and watch me suffer! But it doesn’t matter, I like this painful feeling! Just stand there and watch me cry! But it doesn’t matter, I like you
Cheating my feelings!)
"hiss!"
Shun Liangwei couldn't help but raise his hand and press the keyboard to turn on the mic, and shared his reaction with the audience.
"This is amazing, really amazing!"
"Before, I said that Ouyang Xiaoqing and the rapper Ari Feyre couldn't match each other, but here they match perfectly!"
"It sounds so good! Do you have goosebumps?"
Cen Liangwei was really excited.
The fusion of this section uses emotional changes, the relaxation of the voice, and the sublimation of Ouyang Xiaoqing like a demon singing, to fuse two different forms of singing together!
It's hard for people to question whether their auras or singing styles are incompatible. This is a wonderful and complete performance!
