Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
After the laughter died down, the audience got settled .
It was time for today's first singer to take the stage!
"It's Xiaodong!"
"Sister Dong will be performing first!"
"I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Go Xiaodong!"
When Xiaodong came out through the moon gate, applause rang out .
Xiaodong smiled and bowed to the audience . Then, she composed herself a little as she gripped the microphone . However, she found that her palms were all sweaty, so she forced herself to calm down . Then she turned to Music Director Bai Yuanfei and the rest of the band and nodded at them .
The music played .
Xiaodong's emotions poured into the song at once .
She sang lightly .
"My heart—
"is beating with her .
"In a—
"dream, I hold you close . "
It turned out to be an English song!
It was a song that was rather niche with the audience but very popular and highly praised by those in the music industry . Almost everyone in the music industry knew this song—with the exception of Zhang Ye, since he wasn't originally from this world, so he naturally did not know that this song had won a grand prize overseas .
"How nice!"
"It's so touching!"
"She's singing her heart out!"
"I don't usually get to hear Sister Dong singing in English . "
The audience responded very well to her performance .
The second to go on stage was Chen Guang .
The moment he opened his mouth and sang, the audience was taken aback again .
"I know,
"someday,
"that you'll be by—
"my side . "
The audience was absolutely amazed!
"Wow!"
"This is so good!"
"Old Chen's vocals are great!"
"He's singing an English song too? How nice!"
"Old Chen's singing is amazing . Even if he's not the top singer in the music industry, he's definitely got to be one of the top three!"
"Old Chen is playing to our emotions with a sentimental song as well . I was so touched!"
The third singer made her appearance .
It was Grandma Zhang Xia .
She actually lined up a very old Japanese song for her performance today . This Japanese song was very well-known in their country, and many of the older generation knew how to sing it . But with some changes made to it by Zhang Xia, the arrangement of the song became completely different .
"Look up at the starry sky .
"As the spring breeze races through the fields . "
The audience was transfixed by her singing .
Many of those in the audience who were above the age of 60 even teared up when they heard the melody of the song .
"This is so awesome!"
"Her singing is so good!"
"How eargasmic!"
Following that .
Amy was the fourth to come on . She chose to perform a Korean song that was the claim-to-fame song of a famous Korean girl group . It was a song that many people knew how to sing along to, and it was very popular all over Asia .
Then it was Huang Cheng's turn . He brought out an Italian classic!
Zhao Wuliu followed next and unexpectedly sang an English rock song!
The singers were all at their wits' end .
While Zhao Wuliu was performing, the singers who had finished were all sitting together backstage .
Zhang Xia said bitterly, "It's another foreign song?"
Xiaodong said in a speechless manner, "How could it be such a coincidence?"
Chen Guang sighed and said, "All of us thought of doing the same thing!"
The show was into its eighth episode now, so they had performed too many times on this stage . The audience was becoming familiar with their singing and understood them better . As such, their expectations slowly increased . It was possible that their singing was still as good as before, but the audience was longer surprised by it . So they would naturally find that their singing only sounded average . Having come so far, it was the deadliest factor for them . As a result, everyone thought of breaking the mold and sought to change things up by singing in a different style . But who could have thought that all of them would have the same idea and choose to sing a foreign language song on the same episode!
The audience was also somewhat startled .
At the beginning, everyone was quite pleasantly surprised . But that surprise turned to numbness . No matter how good the singing was, they couldn't stand to keep listening . If it was just one foreign song, then fine . But two songs? Four songs? Six songs? From the first singer to the sixth singer who performed on stage, they were all singing foreign songs? This made them weary, and some people could no longer appreciate the performances onstage . They were finding it tiresome .
"Man!"
"Really?"
"How did that happen?"
"Is performing a foreign song the theme for today?"
"How boring . "
"Yeah, surely they can't just sing foreign songs today, right? What the hell is this?"
In the wings .
Zhang Ye found Hou Ge . He said with a frown, "What's with this?"
Hou Ge wiped his sweat away . "It wasn't supposed to be this way at the beginning . Later, three of the singers requested to change their songs at the last minute . There was no time by then, and since you said to give the singers the most freedom of control that they could have, the program team didn't want to influence the choice of their songs . As such, we didn't raise any objections and thought that it would be alright . "
Zhang Ye said, "You call this alright?"
Hou Ge said, "It was my fault, blame me . "
Dafei added, "We didn't thoroughly consider things . "
"Next time there's a 'collision' of songs on such a big scale, you must inform me immediately . " Zhang Ye was also negligent on his part as he did not check the song list for this episode .
They were all foreign songs?
How could that be acceptable!
In the end, I have to be the one to save the day again!
Do you guys think it's been easy for me in recent days?!
Onstage, Zhao Wuliu's performance came to an end .
The audience still applauded, but it was obvious that it was perfunctory . There was no enthusiasm and the applause was scattered and soft .
Zhang Ye went up onstage . "Thank you for the wonderful performance, Teacher Zhao . You're indeed a veteran of the music industry . You still sang as well as ever, so I believe that the pressure on the next singer will surely be enormous . "
The next singer?
Isn't that you!
You're the only one who hasn't performed yet!
