Teresa Teng, Xu Xiaofeng, Cai Qin, mention their names, who will not know?
Teresa Teng, the eternal first person in the Chinese music scene! With more than 50 super classic golden songs, it is the best among Chinese singers! Her sweet little key singing of "light and humorous" creates a classic aesthetic. Where there are Chinese, there is Teresa Teng's singing!
Xu Xiaofeng, after 50 years of songs in the Hong Kong music scene, the low, magnetic mezzo-soprano voice of "bean throat" has a deep appeal, and her countless classic works record the most "golden and brilliant" era of Hong Kong's Cantonese pop music scene!
Cai Qin, Taiwanese "Golden Voice Song Queen". The voice is low and gentle, and the nostalgic old songs interpreted have infinite charm and become feverish discs. For thirty years, Cai Qin's songs have been enduring and have always been loved by listeners of different ages.
What I want to write here today is that I have listened to their songs over the years, and I have slowly accumulated little by little.
The first thing I want to talk about is "Tianya Singer", the famous work of Zhou Xuan, the queen of Shanghai songs.
All three of them had sung this song, and the first thing I heard was Xu Xiaofeng's cover version.
The reason why I like Xu Xiaofeng is because of her thick singing voice that no singer has, listening to Xu Xiaofeng's version, the first impression is a strong smell of wind and dust, and the smell of wind and dust that I mean is the sense of elegance that all modern singers do not have.
Xu's song has a live version and a recorded version, and one of the scenes I admire most in the live version is her fist-throwing salute before taking the stage, a typical old-school artist style, compared to those singers who trot all the way to the stage and then wave and shout "yeah", I will always like this style.
In the recorded version, her voice has almost no impurities, but it seems to give people the feeling of listening to an old record, and there is still some sound of a stylus crossing the record - strange?
It's not surprising at all, because as long as you're used to Listening to Xu Xiaofeng's songs, you'll feel that way, because if there's a trace of vibrato in her neutral voice, it's the vibrato that gives us that feeling. The songs with the strongest feeling like this I think are "Lonely Guest at the End of the World" and "Late Autumn Standing On the Roof".
I really took some trouble to hear Teresa's version, because I bought tapes and CDs several times, and the voice on it was not her, and I could hear it as soon as I heard it, it was Gao Shengmei or someone else, and I almost thought it must be Gao Shengmei, but there was no credentials, and the same feeling was "Green Island Serenade" on the same tape.
It wasn't until I bought the genuine version (I couldn't tell the difference between genuine and pirated copies when I first started buying tapes or CDs, so I was cheated many times by the owner of the video store) that I really appreciated Teresa's interpretation of "The Song of Heaven".
And Xu Xiaofeng's version is very different, listening to Teresa Teng's version, first of all, I thought of the willow tree in jiangnan water town, a poor little girl, dressed simply, but the show does not diminish the willow branches, with a little shy singing, the end of the world, the cape, mi Zhiyin ... This feeling is very beautiful, because hearing such a voice makes people feel warm, makes people feel kind, and also feels the distress of this little girl in the song, and then slowly thinks a lot, thinks of his own he, that she, and then slowly fades. This is the charm of Teresa Teresa.
However, in my heart, this "Tianya Song Girl" can only represent Teresa Teng's medium level.
In contrast, Cai Qin's interpretation of "Tianya Song Girl" is one point worse than Xu and Deng.
Because Cai Qin will always show off her songs consciously or unconsciously, showing off the high notes she has trained, this feeling is not only in this song (after all, there are very few places in this song where she shines).
I only say two aspects are enough, the first is the handling of the lyrics, Xu Xiaofeng's Chinese level I don't know, but her Chinese bite in "Tianya Song Girl" is very interesting, especially on "we two are a heart", people who have heard it have a feeling, "we" after the word "if there is no "child" sound, there is also the interval of each lyric, Xu Xiaofeng's version of the interval is very good, there is a rhythm, and in Cai Qin's version, almost every sentence interval is the same, light as water.
In Deng's version, the most memorable is the first sentence, she herself deals with factors such as scales, adding a transmutation between the sky and the end, the sea and the horn, which is particularly good, while Cai Qin's own treatment in the song is not so clever.
The second is the soundtrack, Cai Qin's "Tianya Song Girl" has too many piano accompaniment, not that these dubbing is not good, can only say that it is not suitable for use in such songs, with the same volume to listen to Cai, Xu, Deng, Cai Qin's version is relatively noisy. So I said that among these three people, Teresa Teng and Xu Xiaofeng are good at winning, but Cai Qin is indeed worse than them. They are all good at singing old songs Chinese, such as "Three Years", "No Love", "Hate Not Meeting and Not Marrying", etc., and their characteristics are also reflected in these songs: Teresa Teng's liveliness and brightness are slightly sad, Xu Xiaofeng's sense of nostalgia and hoarse voice, Cai Qin's broad vocal range, heart song and singing are integrated.
Cai Qin is good at blending her own creativity and emotions into the songs that already exist, so it is not too much to say that she is the terminator of many songs, after all, many old songs have rejuvenated into her hands, like "Green Island Serenade", which is the most successful one in my opinion: when only the prelude is heard, it gives people a sense of calm and peace, and when her unique tone begins to sing, this feeling is even stronger, really making people feel as if they see the coconut tree fluttering in the breeze. Then I stood alone outside the window and gazed at my beloved girl affectionately, humming my heart song, what a beautiful feeling!
Unfortunately, I have never been able to find "Green Island Serenade" sung by Teresa Teng, and I think it must be a more beautiful natural sound.
Teresa Teng, Xu Xiaofeng, Cai Qin and others Xu Xiaofeng ended "Heart Love", "Bright Moon Thousand Miles Send Love", there is no doubt, mentioning these two songs, we will immediately think of Xu Xiaofeng, because only she gave these two songs the real charm, the helplessness in "Heart Love", the affectionate look back in "Bright Moon Thousand Miles of Love", only her unique "bean sand throat" performance is vivid.
Among her personal masterpieces, the most successful one is "Don't Be Difficult", because this song swept the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I remember when I was young, I could hear "Don't Be Difficult" playing in the audioshop in Xiangkou every day.
Teresa Teresa's cover song is a classic. Excessive? In fact, it is not too much at all, "The Moon Represents My Heart", everyone is familiar with it, right? Hearing this song, who do you think of? Teresa! Yes, she sang this song in that year, but the matter has changed, no one remembers that this is her cover song, everyone only knows that this is one of the representatives of Teresa Teng, this is her magic, other such as "Wildflowers on the Side of the Road You Don't Pick", "Laugh when You See It", etc., do you hear the name, and you will not think of anyone else except Teresa Teng?
yes! Because it is she who gives these songs a true soul! They have covered other people's songs, and others are also covering their songs at the same time, because their songs represent classics in a certain sense, first of all, Xu Xiaofeng, not to mention anything else, when Mei Yanfang entered the industry, with Xu Xiaofeng's song "Season of Wind", this alone represents the charm of Xu Xiaofeng's songs.
Other songs, such as "Down the Current, Against the Current", "Season of the Wind", etc., have been covered, but it is difficult to see any new breakthroughs in the cover version.
The most worth mentioning is that many of her songs others simply can not cover, like "The Great Wall", imposing, looking at the song world, who has the strength to sing the courage of the Great Wall? Only Xu Xiaofeng!
Teresa Teresa's song can be said to be the most covered, but it seems that who surpassed her? No! Because no matter what they say that her song is a beautiful sound, what a small tune, they, they just can't reach her level, especially what makes me angry is that Qi surnamed, an older singer opened his first concert interview, said this sentence: "She (Teresa Teng) sings things like Jiangnan minor."
But that's because she hadn't heard of "Fire," "Walking the Road of Life," or that she was deliberately belittling Teresa Teresa, in any way, showing her cowardice, because she didn't dare to really face Teresa's musical achievements.
Only one day in the video store saw her concert records sold out at a 1.5% discount due to slow sales, I was relieved, because the NHK concert in Japan and The Golden Radiance Concert of Xu Xiaofeng on the same shelf were still hot at the original price. It seems that the strength of a singer, the eyes of the market are shining.
On December 12, 2003, Cai Qin held a concert in Beijing, because my course was too tight, there was no time to go to the show, but it is said that the grand occasion did not diminish that year, abandoning the gorgeous decorations, an original Cai Qin brought us a long-lost heart flutter, let us find a long-lost time in her singing. It is they who have brought us the long-lost heartbeat and brought us the time we have been looking forward to for a long time.
