Lhasa, China, October 9 (Zhao Yuqin) On the evening of the 8th, the finals of the second season of "China's New Song" peak night ended in Beijing Bird's Nest, and after several rounds of fighting, Tashi Phuntsok, a Tibetan player from Shigatse, Tibet, won the annual championship.
In the final of the night, Tashi Phuntsok's mother and brother also came to the scene with their niece to cheer for him. His brother Danzeng Kelsang, who is four years older than Tashi Phuntsok, said: "During the rehearsal, he sent me a lot of live videos, but when I arrived at the scene and saw my brother appear, I was still shocked by the grand scene. The first round of the song "Me and You" reminds me of the scene when Teacher Liu Huan sang this song at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Now, my brother can perform on the same stage as Teacher Liu Huan, and I am really proud of him. ”

At the final scene, what made Danzeng Kelsang and his mother most nervous was the voting session for Tashi Phuntsok, "My mother eagerly wanted to vote a few more votes, but she didn't use smart phones very well, and she was a bit helpless the whole time." ”
In the final, Tashi Phuntsok challenged three songs with different styles, "Me and You", "Birdman" and "Qi Tian", and won the "laurel" in one fell swoop with his unique singing skills and calm performances. Danzeng Kelsang said: "When it was announced that my brother won the championship, we who sat in the audience were very excited, and we gave our families a long face and a long face to Tibet. ”

Danzin Kelsang also released a solo music album in 2007. Outside of work, the brothers often discuss and compose music together. Therefore, the Tibetan parts of the songs "A Lake", "Spring" and "Me and You" in which Tashi Phuntsok fought were also translated together with Danzeng Kelsang. The lyrics of the song "Ama's Hand" were written entirely by Danzin Kelsang.
During the more than 3 months of competition, Tashi Phuntsok would exchange music creation and competition feelings with his brother every day. Danzeng Kelsang said: "He will send me rehearsals or recorded videos, and I will listen to and watch them repeatedly, as far as possible to provide reference for my brother." In fact, in the eyes of our family, the result of the game is secondary, and it is more concerned about how his future musical path should go. (End)
