I don't know if you watched the fifth issue of "Time Concert", the program team invited the musician Xiao Ke. This little Ke told a story that surprised me and felt that all of us had misunderstood Faye Wong. At the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, Faye Wong sang the song "Because of Love", and the audience after listening to it felt strange, did Faye Wong sing out of tune? It felt like her voice was trembling and her breath was shaking, and it sounded uncomfortable.
Even, some Internet celebrities said that she was not good at singing herself, and Tianhou was no more than that. On this matter, Faye Wong has never responded, and in the face of various doubts, she has not said a word. As time went on, nearly 10 years have passed since this incident, and Xiao Ke came to the show to tell us this secret. At that time, after it was determined that Faye Wong and Eason Chan would perform the song together, the two were not in the same place.
Xiao Ke first went to Hong Kong to record Eason Chan, but he did not know what tune Faye Wong sang, so he let Eason Chan record three keys. Among these three keys, there are eason Chan singing very comfortable tunes, and there are also eason Chan singing those that are not very comfortable. After arriving in Beijing, Xiao Ke told Faye Wong about the situation. Faye Wong said very generously at that time: According to his comfortable tune, I will try his tune. As a musician, Xiao Ke knows it very well.
In fact, this tune is very uncomfortable for Faye Wong to sing. But she has a certain confidence in herself, and at the same time wants to make Eason Chan sing more perfectly. It is precisely like this, when it comes to the scene of the Spring Festival Gala, Faye Wong's singing breath is very unstable, and even suspected of being out of tune. We laymen may not hear the obvious flaws, but just feel that she is singing very hard. But Xiao Ke said that it was already Faye Wong's extreme challenge, because it was more difficult to sing the scene.
If you think about it, singing Eason Chan's tune during rehearsal is already laborious enough, not to mention singing live. Live broadcasting is more challenging for a singer, and once tuned, you must stick to it even if you can't sing it. Coupled with some nervousness, Faye Wong sang very badly on the spot that night. After the end of that night, Faye Wong was criticized for this, and to this day many people think that she is out of tune.
But what I want to say is that if it weren't for the fact that "Time Concert" invited Xiao Ke to the scene, it was not a secret that he would not have told us. Even if he explains this matter on social platforms, it is better than wronging Faye Wong for so many years, and it feels really bad to be misunderstood for ten years. I don't know why, Faye Wong herself did not come out to defend herself, which is quite in line with her high-cold temperament.
Faye Wong has a good voice, and there is no doubt about it. Her voice is very transparent and clean, and as soon as she makes a sound, most people can recognize that it is Faye Wong. In 1998, when she sang "Meet 98" on the same stage with Na Ying, it was obvious that she was stronger than Na Ying in the strength of the midrange area. In some of the early music festivals in Hong Kong, Faye Wong participated with the Four Heavenly Kings and figures of the level of Tam Wing Lin and Cheung Kwok Wing.
Whether her singing skills are good or not, there is no need to question for so many years. But a singer's comfortable vocal range also exists, even Faye Wong, she can not run freely in all the ranges. At that time, "Because of Love", there were only two results, one was that Eason Chan accommodated Faye Wong, and the other was that Faye Wong accommodated Eason Chan, but the fact was the latter. Faye Wong debuted 6 years earlier than Eason Chan, maybe she deliberately let this brother, what do you think?
