The legend of rebirth

Chapter 38 Dangyang Drunk
On the stage, under a group of blue lights, a strong rhythmic prelude sounded.

The song "feeling" is the representative work of the post-American pop singer Amer. Unlike the white European soprano queen Sharon Quinn, Amer's voice has the thick and hoarse voice common among black female singers, with chest and head cavity The vibes are quite adequate.

Among all black female singers, Amer's mid-bass range is the most moving. She and Sharon Quinn's treble are also known in the world, and they are also the second of the four major queens in Europe and America.

Similar to Sharon Quinn's high-pitched queen, Amer also has a title in the music world-the queen of soul.

Soul music, a music genre that combines rhythm and blues (R&B) and gospel music, the vocals are tightly paced, accompanied by improvised physical movements, and have strong live performance.

In the early days of the development of soul music, a large part of the singing relied on the singer's improvisation, often without pre-prepared scores.

But after developing into commercialization, this kind of impromptu performance gradually disappeared and was replaced by acquired carving and processing. Those so-called "flower singing", which seemed casual, were actually rehearsed before.

But Amel is different among them. In her concert, "feeling" has been sung no less than a hundred times, and there is a solo vocal in the middle. If you compare these [-] versions of "feeling", you will find that none of them are the same Yes, but it is so provocative and soul-stirring.

This is not only the case between concerts, but even her rehearsal and final performance of the same concert, the singing is different.

When someone asked Amel this question, she said: "This passage is the feeling in my heart. Every time I sing, the feeling in my heart is different, so the singing is also different."

These words, this song, and this solo vocal made Amer a well-deserved queen of soul singers in the European and American music scene.

Today, what Zhuo Ting sang was exactly this classic song that established Amer as a queen, and this was also her last trump card.

Soul music is a very contagious music genre, but one must also consider the cultural differences between China and the Americas. Whether this contagious power can be transplanted to the scene of today's cutting-edge girls, in Ye Luo's view, In fact, it is doubtful.

But at least in the verse of the song, the response from the scene was good.

The strong rhythm, accompanied by Zhuo Ting's free and easy singing on the stage, as soon as the thick voice came out, almost all the audience at the scene were shaking their bodies and nodding slightly to the beat.

Shangdu is a modern metropolis. This city adopts an inclusive attitude towards the cultures of various countries.

There are currently five domestic competition areas for cutting-edge girls. If there is any competition area that accepts and recognizes foreign music genres more, it must be the Shangdu competition area.

Thinking of this, Ye Luo couldn't help laughing.

Zhuo Ting had never heard of this before, but before the new girls held, she landed out of thin air on Xiushui Street. Presumably, she also took this level into consideration, and deliberately chose the Shangdu competition area to participate, right?

This woman really came prepared!
On the stage, Zhuo Ting tried her best, swaying her body, moving her hands, dancing with her feet, and the agility of her eyes. In Ye Luo's eyes, this woman seemed to have changed from an ordinary girl next door to a girl in an instant. A mature singer with an international style.

This change in temperament, the contrast between the front and the back is so great, coupled with the strong rhythmic singing in the ear, Ye Luo is not only a little excited.

Zhuo Ting's creation of the appeal of this song can be said to be all-round. Every detail of singing, dressing, expression, and movement is showing her ambition to become a blockbuster!

Before the chorus, the scene has been completely driven by her!Everyone was shaking and nodding to her singing, and some male audience members were still snapping their fingers to the rhythm.

The chorus after the verse is a shouting high pitch, but this kind of high pitch is actually not high. It is not a problem for professional singers to cope with it. The key is when singing, breath, thickness, resonance, roundness of modulation, The modification of the ending sound is indispensable.

Zhuo Ting's familiarity with this song seemed to have penetrated into her bone marrow. When the high note came out, even Ye Luo couldn't help nodding.

That's it!

The peculiarity of this song is that her climax is not the chorus, but a soul-like solo after the chorus.

There is no other accompaniment for this solo, only drums, and the melody is completely controlled by the singer himself. Whether this song is successful or not, whether it can move people, most likely depends on this section.

When Zhuo Ting sang this solo, Ye Luo was stunned.

"What is this?" Wang Nicole scratched her head beside her, "It's so familiar."

"An ancient song, "Dangyang Drunken", with some inflections and modifiers added." Ye Luo heard it, then closed her eyes and sighed, "It's so beautiful."

Zhuo Ting's "feeling" was also adapted, but she did not use the accompaniment, but transplanted the ancient Chinese song "Dangyang Drunken" into this solo.

The faint separation between American soul music and traditional Chinese culture was integrated together by this solo. The ingenuity of thought and the absolute intention made Ye Luo feel awe.

Zhuo Ting is a woman, it doesn't matter if she is scheming or tricky, but if she can sing this song like this, everything else is not important.

Zhuo Ting on the stage still used her best soul music singing method, but this melody, which is familiar to almost all Chinese people and even regarded as a classic, flowed out. Moved and shocked!
"This woman is too smart." Ye Luo sighed, "She knows that if she sings Amel's solo, even if she sings it exactly the same, she will be judged against the original singer, because she is imitating, and Amer Mel was improvising. Adding Dangyang’s drunkenness, it will be different. This is an ancient Chinese classic, and the dialogue between the modern classics of America is absolutely amazing!”

"Yeah..." Wang Nicole's voice was inaudible, as if she was whispering, her brain had been completely attracted by the song, and the words on her mouth were just echoing subconsciously.

On the stage, after Zhuo Ting sang a song, the last drum beat fell, and the audience was boiling!

And Zhuo Ting stood on the stage, holding the microphone high in one hand, covering her mouth with the other, with tears in her eyes.

Ye Luo believed that her tears at this time were real.

Because at this moment, she should feel that her painstaking efforts and hard work were finally not in vain, and she has won the championship of the Shangdu Division!

"What a pity!" Ye Luo shook her head, "What she is facing is the unfathomable Song Yan, and Chu Mo'er who is not fighting alone."
