The theme of the latest issue of "The Masked Singer" is "Regret".
This theme is actually quite easy to develop, especially for singer-songwriters like Faceless and The Redeemer.
Original songs do have more advantages than covers.
Of course, since the previous episodes of the program, most of the contestants have begun to use new songs to compete.
While Xiong Lu was doing analysis, the first singer "King" to appear was already standing on the stage.
The other party held a guitar in his hand, obviously ready to play and sing by himself.
""Missed Love""
"Lyrics:King"
"Composer:King"
"Singing: The King"
......
Information about the song performed by the other party also appeared on the big screen on the stage.
"You actually write lyrics and music by yourself again?"
Xiong Lu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that in addition to the two contestants No Face and The Redeemer, the newcomer who just joined this issue was also a singer-songwriter?
Although other contestants on the show also sang original new songs, they were basically songs written by others.
Writing your own songs is indeed an advantage on this show.
Of course, the premise is that the quality of the songs written is decent, otherwise, it will be a hindrance.
As the guitar sounded, "King" also began to sing.
This song "Missed Love" is obviously a pop song with a folk style.
“It’s actually pretty good.”
Xiong Lu also felt a little surprised after hearing the chorus.
I didn’t expect the newcomers this time to be of such caliber.
Judging from the content of the lyrics, this song is obviously about a boy who has a crush on a girl in high school, but in the end he didn’t have time to confess his love and missed it.
This kind of story is actually not uncommon or surprising.
But if you are someone with the same experience, you can still relate.
The finishing touch is actually the ending. The lyrics mention that later on at the girl's wedding, he realized that the girl also liked him.
It’s just that I didn’t have the courage to confess my love at that time, so I missed it.
It just fits the name of the song and the theme of this program.
The only thing that made Xiong Lu feel a little depressed was that she didn't even guess who the "king" in front of her was.
He really has two skills. With such level of lyrics and music, it is impossible for him to be an unknown person in the entertainment industry.
The only flaw may be that my singing skills are a bit stretched, although it is good enough compared to some songwriters.
But at best, it’s at a middle-to-low level among first-tier singers.
"This person feels like Wu Xiaomin!"
Suddenly, a media reviewer next to him suddenly spoke.
This made Xiong Lu suddenly enlightened.
Xiong Lu naturally knew Wu Xiaomin and even commented on some of his songs.
However, Xiong Lu didn't think very highly of him. He felt that he wrote songs purely for the sake of anger and didn't have much true feelings.
Now after careful analysis, it is indeed consistent in all aspects.
Especially her singing skills, which seem to be holding her back a bit, are exactly at the level of Wu Xiaomin.
However, Wu Xiaomin changed some of the previous pronunciation characteristics. If you don’t pay special attention, you really can’t hear it.
To be honest, it is absolutely rare for an artist who came out of an idol talent show to reach such a level.
It seems that Wu Xiaomin herself has no intention of taking the development route of an idol artist.
If you don't take the professional singer route, it will indeed be a waste of your songwriting talent.
Of course, it would be better if you could improve your singing skills a little bit.
As for some claims on the Internet that Wu Xiaomin was called "Xiao Xuji", Xiong Lu actually didn't take it seriously.
The gap between local and Xuji is still huge.
Even if Xu Ji’s status as a songwriter is simply compared to him, it’s still not on the same level.
Although Wu Xiaomin is still young and has just debuted for less than half a year, she has great potential for future development.
】
But Xiong Lu still doesn't think the other party can reach Xu Ji's current height.
After all, being able to create traces of Chinese style and Gothic dark style is already at the level of establishing a sect.
As for Wu Xiaomin, although she has some talent, she is just standing on the shoulders of giants.
Even the other party's maturity as a songwriter was not as good as the redeemer on the show in Xiong Lu's opinion.
Of course, if the faceless man is not Xu Ji as she guessed, then the faceless man can also beat him up.
......
"The performance of the singer 'King' is over, all media judges are invited to vote."
"The king's final vote is..."
"89 votes!"
Wu Xiaomin, who was wearing a cartoon king's mask on the stage, clearly showed a dissatisfied expression after hearing the votes.
Obviously he feels that this number of votes is a bit low for him.
After all, he was able to get the highest rating every time he performed on that talent show.
Fortunately, because he was wearing a mask, no one could see his expression at this time.
Xu Ji backstage was also paying attention to the new singer who joined the show.
I have to say that judging from the singing voice and stage performance of the person who just performed, he should not be too old, and he does not have much stage experience.
But if it is really what Xu Ji guessed, then this person should be considered a very talented singer-songwriter.
If nothing else happens, I will basically be able to become the king of singers and songwriters in the future.
Of course, Xu Ji is not sure how long this time span is.
It's just that Xu Ji couldn't guess the identity of the other party. In fact, he only heard the names of many people in the entertainment industry, and he was not familiar with them at all.
Not to mention such a possibly new singer.
......
The second singer to appear is the singer who covered Xu Ji’s song in the previous issue.
Originally, many people in the audience thought that the other party would continue to plan to cover Xu Ji's songs, but what was surprising was that this time the other party sang a very unpopular song that even most media judges had never heard of. Moreover, the song does not quite fit the theme of "regret" in this issue.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But at this time, many media reviewers, including Xiong Lu, reacted.
This singer who looks like a loyal fan of Xu Ji and Sha Yetong should be a second-tier singer named Kang Jianwei.
In fact, the song the other party sang this time cannot be regarded as a cover, because this unpopular song "Flowers Will Wither" is the other party's original song.
As for Kang Jianwei, Xiong Lu had only heard one of Kang Jianwei's popular masterpieces.
Not much is known about the singer's other works and the singer himself.
What makes Xiong Lu feel a little puzzled is that Kang Jianwei is obviously a songwriter, and he wrote all his previous songs.
But why did the other party not sing any of his original songs when he participated in this show?
Instead, I kept singing covers of new songs by Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
Of course, perhaps it is also because of this that this singer with no sense of presence and wearing a cartoon deer headband has been lucky enough not to be eliminated in this issue.
But that’s where it ends, the quality of this song “Flowers Will Wither” is not very high this time.
At least it is very different from the original song by Wu Xiaomin who appeared earlier.
When the final votes came out, Xiong Lu’s conjecture was confirmed.
Although the score of 71 votes is a passing grade, it is basically in a pending position for elimination in this program.
......
Yu Feifei is the third one to appear.
Originally, she thought that she would most likely be eliminated from this show.
But the performance of the singer in front was indeed not very good, and the song selection was also a bit off-topic.
She actually felt like she had some hope again.
If you can get more than 71 votes, you might be able to stay on the "Masked Singer" show for one more episode.
Yu Feifei's performance officially began.
Zheng Yuzhen bought this song from a songwriter outside Phoenix Entertainment.
Although it is said to be purchased, it is actually used as a debt of gratitude from the other party.
The quality of the song itself is pretty good. Although the songwriter is only second-tier, this song is obviously the most popular one.
Yu Feifei is no longer a newcomer. She is obviously the best among the previous three contestants in terms of stage performance and singing skills.
Although not as good as Sha Yetong, who debuted at the same time, Yu Feifei's progress is still quite amazing among new singers.
Of course, I don’t know why, even though Zheng Yuzhen has spent a lot of time and effort, Yu Feifei still hasn’t become popular.
The fact that Miss Rabbit is Yu Feifei has been known to Xiong Lu and other viewers for a long time.
Although Yu Feifei and Kang Jianwei, who appeared earlier, have never been eliminated on the show, they are the two least popular ones.
The audience's eyes have never been on the two of them.
However, the quality of Yu Feifei’s new song today is still very high.
Earlier, Xiong Lu didn’t even vote for Wu Xiaomin, but she voted for Yu Feifei.
This song written by Yu Feifei is about regrets about dreams.
Although the memorability and quality of Wu Xiaomin's song are higher than Feifei's, when Yu Feifei sang it, it was more emotionally moving.
Moreover, Yu Feifei’s singing skills and live performances are even more perfect.
If compared together, Xiong Lu thinks Yu Feifei deserves a higher number of votes.
Of course, this is just Xiong Lu’s personal opinion and does not represent other media reviewers.
In the end, Yu Feifei received 83 votes, temporarily ranking second.
If nothing else happens, Kang Jianwei will be eliminated from this program.
In addition to Faceless and Redeemer, two singer-songwriters with high-quality original songs, there is also a singer whose identity has not been guessed, but has the ability to be a singer.
Even if it overturns in the end, the number of votes is unlikely to be lower than 71.
......
The next person to appear is the singer Jiang Nian.
Of course, except for Yu Feifei and Xu Ji who guessed the identity very well, not many media judges and viewers, including Xiong Lu, have guessed it yet.
Mainly because no one expected Jiang Nian to take the initiative to change his singing habits.
And the level of performance is still at the level of a singer.
Mainly, no one expected that Jiang Nian, who was good at singing love songs, would suddenly start to show off his skills by playing high notes.
Everyone’s attention is focused on some top singers and first-line singers with excellent high notes.
No one can imagine that the other party is Jiang Nian.
And this time Jiang Nian still has the same plan as the previous issue.
As soon as the intro of the song ended, a high-pitched chorus with dazzling skills came directly.
If the atmosphere of the songs of the first three singers was a little low due to the limitations of the theme, then it has completely changed in Jiangnian.
The previous three songs are all about lamenting because of regrets, but Jiang Nian, who wears a unique radio mask, this original new song is completely full of "I know it is a regret, but I will never regret it."
courage.
Coupled with Jiang Nian's unique high-pitched performance, it really gives people a different kind of shock.
......
"Absolutely the singing level of a king of singers!"
"Even among the kings of singers, he is the strongest one."
Xiong Lu judged in her heart while listening to the singer "Radio" singing on the stage.
The only thing that made Xiong Lu feel a little confused was that there were only so many singers, and she couldn't find the right one after searching for a long time.
I felt the same way even in the last issue.
It's also possible that the other person is a first-line singer, and his singing skills have improved rapidly, so people can't believe it for a while.
As for second-tier singers, Xiong Lu thinks it’s basically impossible.
With such singing skills and stage presence, how could he be a second-tier singer?
Even if it is a sudden enlightenment, it is unlikely to improve so quickly without cheating.
Moreover, this person obviously has a lot of stage experience, and his singing voice does not sound like that of a young singer. Most of the second-tier singers have stayed there for more than two years, and basically stop there in their lifetime.
Unless... this person is the king of singers, but many people don’t know that he is good at high notes!
Thinking of this possibility, Xiong Ludun spent a lot of time thinking about it.
No wonder his singing skills and stage presence are so strong, he is obviously the king of singers.
But they are not those people who have excellent treble in everyone’s impression.
Although he knew that his idea was correct, Xiong Lu still couldn't completely guess the other party's true identity.
I can only go back after recording the show and carefully compare the list of singers to find them one by one.
......
"Singer 'Radio', the final number of votes is... 92 votes!"
Jiang Nian's performance directly received the highest number of votes among the four contestants who appeared.
At this time, when Wu Xiaomin, who was in the backstage lounge, heard that the other party's votes exceeded hers, her expression did not change much.
He could tell that the other party was obviously at the level of a singer, and he was purely relying on his singing skills to reduce the dimensionality.
This song was also written by someone. The quality of the song itself is not very outstanding. If it were a different singer, it would definitely not get such votes.
In fact, he doesn't care much about winning or losing like this. He cares more about the Faceless Man and the Redeemer, who are both singer-songwriters like himself and have not yet appeared.
But the next performance directly made Wu Xiaomin's face darken.
"Singer 'The Redeemer' received... 90 votes!"
It’s also an original song, and the other person’s singing is not much better than my own.
But it still got one vote higher than Wu Xiaomin.
He was in a separate lounge at this time, with his mask taken off, and his manager Wang Wei also noticed the change in his face.
But she quickly pretended not to see it, not wanting to get into trouble. The other party would really scold her as well as her manager.
When Wu Xiaomin came to participate in "The Masked Singer", she was originally aiming for the first place, rather than just saying that she would not be eliminated.
His appearance in the talent show was unique, surpassing all other trainees at the same time.
You are used to that kind of situation, and now the Faceless Man, who was originally your biggest opponent, has become the third one before he even appears?
Naturally, I couldn't bear such a blow.
At this time, the faceless man, who was the last one to appear, also appeared on the stage under the introduction of the host.
