In the entire Hong Kong music scene, Lin Zixiang is definitely an ancient god beast-level existence. Before Tan Zhang Zhengba arrived, he, together with Xu Guanjie and Luo Wen, carried the banner of early Cantonese pop songs. Xu Guanjie is the first generation of song gods, Luo Wen is known as the song saint, and Lin Zixiang has the reputation of song yin.
Huang Xia once said that there are two people in the Hong Kong music scene who do not need to be questioned, one is Rowan and the other is Lin Zixiang. If we talk about the groundbreaking influence, Xu Guanjie is the first. As we all know, it was he who opened the prelude to the Cantonese pop music scene.
But if you simply measure talent and singing skills, Lin Zixiang's strength is undoubtedly the strongest. Not only that, in the eyes of many people, to this day, no one in the Chinese pop music scene can surpass him.
Because of this, Lin Zixiang enjoys an absolute supreme position in the Chinese pop music scene, belonging to the kind of character who will make people awe-inspiring and even respectful as long as he stands on the stage.
This has been revealed since the first episode of the third season of "Our Song". Although there have been many heavyweights in the first two seasons (including Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao), when Lin Zixiang, who is older than them and now appears less (and therefore more legendary), you will find that the shock is unmatched by any previous singer who has participated in the show.
In a sense, Lin Zixiang represents the ceiling of the entire Chinese music scene, the predecessor of the predecessors, the big guys among the big guys. What is even more admirable is that at the age of 74, he still maintains such a penetrating voice and strong sound pressure.
If you watch the live video of Lin Zixiang's prime, you will find that whoever sings with him will be eclipsed in front of his iron lungs and golden voice. He is also almost the only singer in the Chinese music scene who does not wear his ear to sing, but does not have to worry about going out of tune.
In "Our Song", when he and Yang Yunqing sang "With Love", what was worn in his ears was not an ear return, but a hearing aid. When he began to sing, the sound waves instantly covered the entire scene. In order to cooperate with Lin Zixiang, Yang Yunqing could only lower her KEY, resulting in her voice being almost drowned out.
It cannot be assumed that Yang Yunqing cannot sing. In fact, any female singer who uses a seemingly scientific singing method will be in a weak position when facing a super singer like Lin Zixiang.
Lin Zixiang's singing style, especially his skill in singing high notes with his real voice, has established an extraordinary voice talent and decades of self-discipline. The so-called voice changing area is basically useless here in Lin Zixiang. Because, with his real voice, he has been able to sing to the range that other singers can barely support with false voices.
In fact, no one sings like Lin Zixiang today. Everyone is learning how to make better use of the resonance and voice changing area, and the singer who walks the technical flow grabs a big hand. But even so, in the minds of many people, Lin Zixiang is still alone and defeated, and in terms of singing, no one in the Chinese music scene has been able to surpass him.
Despite his advanced age, Lin Zixiang's stage charm can still easily impress the audience. The combination of him and Hu Xia also broke the maximum age difference between Zhong Zhentao and Feng Timo last year, and it is expected that he can leave more works on this stage. After all, for the current audience, there are really not many opportunities to enjoy the performance of this ancient god.
