Chapter 153 The First Chinese Singer to Win the American Music Awards
Chapter 153 The first Chinese singer to appear at the American Music Awards
In fact, Li Hyuk was very uncomfortable with the bold typhoon of European and American people.
Lee Hyuk has always been a model of quiet singing on the stage. Even if it is a song with a more explosive rhythm, Lee Hyuk can only do a few unintelligible movements at most.
Since his debut, Li Hyuk has never shown his stage dancing skills. He can only sing and dance.
In this regard, the Four Returned Sons are much better than him. They are not as good at singing as Li Hyuk, but when it comes to dancing on stage, they definitely crush Li Hyuk.
In fact, Li Hyuk has also been doing dance training, but his dancing talent is really not high. So far, his results are quite average and his dance movements are very stiff.
However, because Li Hyuk has never shown his dancing on a public stage, there have been rumors in the world that Li Hyuk dances very well.
After missing out on the American Music Award for Best Pop Single of the Year, it was not a pity that it was time for Lee Hyuk to perform on stage. Looking at the Asian man who had just been kissed by Shakira on stage, the audience did not recognize Lee Hyuk’s star.
There were also questions from the audience.
"Who is this Asian? Islander? Or Korean?"
"I don't know! I don't know him. He must be Korean. Didn't Uncle Psy come last time?"
"Isn't he Shakira's male companion?"
"I don't know, don't ask me."
Shakira returned to her seat, listened to the comments of the people next to her, and smiled. At this time, Taylor Swift in front asked Shakira: "Do you know who he is? I have been chatting with him for so long."
"You know, a Chinese singer was previously nominated for the best pop single of the year."
"What is your name?"
"Jay Li."
Taylor Swift understood and looked at Lee Hyuk who had his guitar ready on the stage to see how he sang.
Having experience on the stage, Li Hyuk didn't have any stage fright when facing a group of foreigners. He strummed the guitar twice and got straight to the point without any foreplay.
"When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks~”
Speaking crisply, Taylor Swift exclaimed: "Wow, she sang well. Her English pronunciation is pretty good. She doesn't have too many accents. This song is also great."
Shakira laughed and said: "This song was written by Jay himself. It was ranked 22nd on the Billboard chart. You must have never heard of it!"
"It's not that I haven't heard it before, it's just that I didn't know it was him who sang it." Taylor Swift immediately became interested in Li Hyuk.
Singer-songwriters are always interested in singer-songwriters, and communication with each other is also a huge gain.
"So honey now
Take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are~”
With the broadcast on television and the Internet, Lee Hyuk's voice spread to all the viewers watching the American Music Awards, making everyone remember his voice.
The American Music Awards is a huge stage. More than 15 million viewers watch this award ceremony every year. Even if only one in a thousand actually likes Lee Hyuk's singing, it is still a huge gain.
What's more, Boss Huang's "Thinking Out Loud" was also a rare and tender love song in his previous life. Although there are some plagiarism and reference, it does not prevent this song from being popular and popular.
When Li Hyuk wrote this song early in the morning, he already made it clear that he drew it from Marvin Gaye's song and bought the copyright to cover and recreate it, so there was no trouble from Boss Huang.
No matter the difference in skin color or culture, as long as the song is good, everyone is still happy to sit down and enjoy it. This is the charm of music. There is no need to understand each other's language, everyone can sit together because of the music.
Li Hyuk's performance at the American Music Awards naturally attracted domestic attention. There are already big hands acting as porters. After Li Hyuk sang "Thinking Out Loud", he edited it and moved it to Bilibili, Penguin Video, Youku and other platforms.
.
After the song was over and there was still time, Li Hyuk prepared to sing a Chinese song according to his previous plan.
Of course, I still need to introduce the situation. Li Hyuk didn't say anything arrogant, saying that Chinese singing is the best, and he doesn't have the qualifications and status yet.
"I'm very happy to be on the stage of the American Music Awards. I believe this is the stage that musicians all over the world yearn for, including me." Lee Hyuk put down his guitar and said to the stars and the audience in the audience.
"Chinese music has always been ignored. It has a broad audience and many outstanding singers. Today on this stage, I want to let everyone hear the song from the Chinese pop music god. The next song is "Lady"
,Thanks……"
Although what Li Hyuk said made everyone a little confused, they still applauded him in a respectful manner. Some black rappers were very disdainful and complained while applauding.
"Farke, what is he talking about?"
"Who listens to Chinese music? Anyway, I haven't listened to it."
"China is a desert of pop music."
Billie listened to the arrogant words of the black people next to her. Although Li He followed the rules and seemed very impersonal, Billie didn't like it. Thinking that the two of them were partners who had walked on the red carpet after all, she mentioned Li He and said a few words.
Good words.
"He sings well in English, but Chinese songs are his specialty, so he won't be bad at all."
"Hey, girl, pay attention to your words and identity. Are you speaking for a yellow man now?" A black man with a big gold chain said in a bad tone.
Bi Li looked stunned, thinking about the recent mainstream Black Lives Matter, and stopped talking. These people are too scary, and she, a young singer who just debuted, would not dare to offend them.
Li Hyuk didn't care about the reaction of the people in the audience or the audience in front of the TV, he just started singing.
"My wife, my wife, still breaks a willow branch every day.
Where are you at the mouth of the stream outside the small village?
Wait for me silently
The lady still breaks a willow branch every day
Where are you by the stream outside the small village?
Waiting silently for my wife~"
"Wow," although she didn't understand the lyrics, the melody, the rhythm, and the use of the three guitars in the arrangement still surprised Taylor Swift, who is also a singer-songwriter.
Shakira had never listened to Chinese songs before and had always had the stereotype that Chinese songs were not good to listen to.
But at this time, Li Hyuk's singing made Shakira a little interested. She plans to go to China to hold two concerts next year. Will she invite Li Hyuk as a supporting guest?
If you think about it carefully, it’s not impossible!
Those black people stopped talking. Black singers are very talented in rhythm and rhythm. They can be found among thousands of rappers. Whether they are from the East Coast or the West Coast, they have a very high sensitivity to music.
"Wow~"
"Wow~"
The black guys began to sway to the rhythm of "Lady", shaking their heads, and the music made them ignore the difference in skin color.
"I can't understand what he is singing, but the rhythm is very good."
"Hey, I admit that I was a little biased before. This Asian has a very good sense of rhythm, and the arrangement of this song is also very advanced."
These black guys are all real-hearted. As long as Black Lives Matter is not a concern, good music can still be appreciated.
