The latest issue of "New Voices of China 2" is the showdown between Ye Xuanqing and Guo Qin, the most high-profile of the Naying group. Both of them have the strength of champions, that night, Guo Qin's singing guest is Zhou Shen, and Ye Xuanqing's singing guest is Zhang Bichen. The song sung by Ye Xuanqing and Zhang Bichen is "The Nutcracker", while Zhou Shen and Guo Qin are "Big Fish". The final result was somewhat unexpected, Guo Qin simply defeated Ye Xuanqing, and Na Ying was a little displeased on the spot.
Although the song "The Nutcracker" is more difficult to sing, the audience has always believed that the cooperation between Ye Xuanqing and Zhang Bichen, who is known as "Little Zhang Bichen", will be seamless. But when the two opened their mouths, the judges and the audience were dumbfounded. Zhang Bichen's singing skills were so good that he completely covered up Ye Xuanqing's brilliance. The audience was basically immersed in Zhang Bichen's natural sound and completely forgot about Ye Xuanqing.
In contrast, guo Qin and Zhou Shen in this group, Zhou Shen created a beautiful atmosphere for Guo Qin, and then Zhou Shen used as a green leaf to enhance the artistic conception of Guo Qin's singing. Guo Qin's singing voice sings out feelings, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. To put it simply, Zhou Shen is very well done as a green leaf lining flower.
At the end of the competition, the judges commented on the too obvious difference between the two, saying that Zhou Shen and Guo Qin were a mixture of water and milk, while Liu Huan bluntly said that Zhang Bichen and Ye Xuanqing were like looking in the mirror, and did not show their own characteristics because the sound was too similar.
No matter how the judges discussed, in the end, Ye Xuanqing failed miserably. Netizens have left messages, Ye Xuanqing fiasco is because he chose Zhang Bichen as a partner. What's more, he pulled out a paragraph of Wu Moxuan's suspected mapping of Zhang Bichen on Weibo some time ago, and speculated that Zhang Bichen was deliberate?
In fact, the tones of Zhou Shen and Guo Qin are also similar, so why is there such an embarrassing problem only for Ye Xuanqing and Zhang Bichen?
Zhou Shen said: "I was afraid of dragging my feet, so I practiced many times. ”
Zhang Bichen also admitted that he did not have time to practice with Ye Xuanqing and lacked rehearsals.
Perhaps Ye Xuanqing did choose the wrong partner as netizens said, and the partner she chose was too busy to practice tacit understanding, resulting in the inability to fully play the role of green leaves in the official competition, unable to distinguish between the main and secondary, and stealing the limelight. But there is another reason, Ye Xuanqing chose the wrong track, "The Nutcracker" is composed by Zhang Bichen, naturally it is more suitable for Zhang Bichen, even if the melody is slowed down for Ye Xuanqing, it will still highlight Ye Xuanqing's unnaturalness.
Therefore, Ye Xuanqing's defeat was not surprising.
Speaking of which, the attention and discussion of this "New Song" have dropped a lot compared with the past. Even if Eason Chan joined the singer as a mentor, he still can't compete with other talent shows at the moment. The unchanging draft rules and the lack of prominence of the single players have become the reasons for the mediocre ratings of the new season of "New Song". Although this summer's talent show ushered in a wave of warming climax, it encountered a new model draft competition like "There is Hip Hop" that dared to challenge and play innovation, resulting in several talent shows being robbed of the limelight, and even the contestants were hung up several hot searches in a row.
Compared with the broadcast of online platforms, "New Song" is limited to the TV screen, which also makes the popularity greatly reduced. And this year's contestants, mixed with several hip-hop contestants, let the audience always feel that they have run the wrong place? The degree of attention is not high, the degree of popularity of the players is naturally different, even if it is about to end, it is basically difficult to continue the enthusiasm of the previous seasons, so if there is a next season of "New Song", it must break through and innovate, otherwise it will not only be destroyed by the same type of draft competition, the audience will also be "aesthetically tired".
However, it is gold that always shines, and the singing strength of players such as Ye Xuanqing is seen by most people. They will never stop at one stage, and believe that they can go to a higher level in the future, and no one can ignore them.
