Last Friday, the blind selection of this season's "The Voice" officially ended, and the dust of the top 24 list was settled.
In fact, compared with the middle and late schedules, many spectators prefer to watch blind selections. Because the early stage is always full of unknowns.
Moreover, in order to stay on the stage and debut in the show, the contestants often sacrifice the most amazing moves, in order to hit the hit and win the favor of the mentor and the attention of the public.
And in addition to singing, the hope and sincere attitude they present in front of the camera are also moving.
During the blind selection stage, many works were settled in the audience's playlist.
01
Although the popularity of the "The Voice" program itself is not as good as the momentum of the crowded alleys in the past. However, many songs still occupy the forefront of the charts on the music platform, which shows that they still have a certain influence.
"Suddenly This Summer", which has captured the most views on streaming, "Alzheimer's Love", which ranks second, and "Manju Sahua", which has the third most views. And the popularity of the musician Wei Lian is not low.
Wei Lian is more familiar than other ordinary people or Internet musicians.
In the past ten years of his debut, he has been associated with the Golden Melody Awards three times, in 2010, he won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer; in 2015, he won the Golden Melody Award for Best Composer; this year he was shortlisted for four...
In addition to the award itself, the individual strength is also obvious to all. And on the stage of "The Voice", it is also a popularity through this show, after all, many people in the mainland are familiar with his songs, such as "Girl", "Wolf" and so on.
On stage, he sang "Suddenly", which he composed during the epidemic. In front of you, there are many changes, impermanent worlds, rebuilding the heart, hoping to resonate with people who have also experienced confusion.
The lyrics seem to be literary, but they use metaphors to point to reality. Confusion, depression, confusion, and a sense of trance about impermanence are portrayed by Velian as deeply rooted in people's minds.
However, there was still a certain amount of pressure on the Shanghai National Music Variety Show, and Wei Lian's on the spot did have a little nervousness, and there was a small flaw in the voice line, and finally only two mentors turned for it.
In fact, as a strength creator, Wei Lian no longer needs to prove anything like everyone, but just slowly output the masterpiece.
We have also written about Wei Lian before, so we recommend "Have there been", "Slowly Wait", "Or Will" these musical works, which have both personal style and popular temperament, are also worth listening to.
The song "The Difference Between Heavens" has received high public praise. The Cantonese version is "High Mountains and Low Valleys", and the original singer is Lin Yikuang.
The academic Dong Shuhan is also a bright presence in this season, standing on the stage and interpreting this song "The Difference Between Heavenly Abyss" with a moving, clear voice with a power to penetrate the fog.
The song itself is a work with a heavier tone, but her sweet and bright tone and balanced and restrained singing treatment thin the heaviness of the work.
Therefore, compared with the lowness of "High Mountains and Lows", Dong Shuhan's version also hides some brightness, and after the haze, hope will eventually be seen.
Yu Zibei's tone is also impressive, bringing his own Cantonese original "Scattered Rehearsal" in the blind selection stage. The gentle and delicate female voice, coupled with the cantonese story told, surprised the audience.
At the end of the song, Li Ronghao chose to turn around and bluntly said that the students' songs are very recognizable, "Even in many repertoire, you can recall this tune, which is very rare." ”
"Off-site Rehearsal" is a Cantonese R&B, and "Villain" is the style of Cantonese jazz, as Li Keqin said, such a creative style is relatively rare, which means that not all audiences can accept it.
But judging from the results, Yu Zibei's attempt not only won himself a special label, but also successfully captured the mentors, and Na Ying sighed, "You let me open up a new understanding of Cantonese singing, thank you for your persistence." ”

For Zibei, the biggest opponent is Wu Keyue. As the first issue of Wu Keyue's debut, wu Keyue was very hot, and she won the "8 turns" of four mentors and four assistant teachers at that time, which was also the best result of the first period, and even many people said that she had a "champion phase".
Although Wu Keyue is only in his early twenties, there is a sense of accumulation of life in his voice. A slightly retro melody of "Manju Sa Hua", accompanied by Cantonese singing, seems to pull people back to the atmosphere of the 1980s.
Wu Keyue, who also sang Cantonese, had a sad style, and her withered and lonely style moved countless people.
Although Cantonese is not understood by everyone, the emotions she conveys resonate with people.
To this end, Wang Feng also said: "Even today, I still don't know Cantonese, fortunately music is the world, language is not the most important, and everyone knows your value, let your singing voice capture everyone." ”
The song "Suddenly This Summer" is not small in popularity, and even ranks first. But after all, it is difficult to reconcile, and singer Wang Jingwen's interpretation has not aroused the recognition of all the listeners of the program. But that jerky sense of youth also has its own taste.
Wang Jingwen's voice is green and clean, such a song that carries the youth time, the song fit is perfect for her.
The poet Xi Murong once described youth as "a book that is too hasty", and this Wang Jingwen version of "Suddenly This Summer" sings the haste and sadness of youth, as well as a hint of ignorance and transparency. Looking back on youth, many people are touched by this song.
Wang Jingwen, a post-zero online musician, had a certain degree of heat before coming to the show. As an original musician, I also expect her to have a more wonderful performance on the stage.
Cai Wang luobu, a Tibetan teenager from Lhasa, successfully gained Na Ying's turn with his bite words and R&B singing voice that resembled Jay Chou's.
Caiwang Rob also chose an R&B song "Looks Good but Actually Good", which uses slightly magnetic and highly ethnic vibrato to interpret the contradiction between couples, a unique and ear-catching expression, which makes people remember it vividly.
Li Ronghao said bluntly, "Tsewang Rob is a person full of R&B souls, and any song he sings is in this state. ”
Although there was a fierce battle with Zeng Shushu and the opponent was also very strong, Na Ying finally chose Caiwang Rob.
The reason she gave was "as if feeling a singer similar to Jay Chou, with a 'magic' upper body, expressing, hoping that you can go further." ”

After a full 6 periods, the blind selection ended. The entry of cadets into the squad is a foregone conclusion. At the same time, it also means that the players they like will bring new works in subsequent competitions.
Tournament duels will unfold more fiercely. Those voices that are amazing in the blind selection, in addition to full of expectations, will also usher in a greater test.
At the node where the blind selection ended, an important turning point was also ushered in. That is, Na Ying withdrew, singer Liao Changyong served as the new mentor, as the dean of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the guidance of the academic school also made everyone have different expectations.
Returning to the blind selection stage, this season still adheres to the diversity of styles, and the selection boundaries are further relaxed:
Not only are there completely fresh faces, but there are also online popular Internet singers, talented singer-songwriters, ethnic musicians, and even returnees who have participated in the past seasons of "The Voice", as well as mature singers who have been famous for many years.
Whether it is original or a singer from a class, the different style also makes the stage show a colorful side.
The next step is the showdown between the teams, looking forward to digging out more high-quality works in the Chinese music scene, and also allowing more "good voices" to enter our playlist.
