Hãy để tôi hát Mở đầu 1: Những nốt cao của “Barbie Girl” Chanel khiến khán giả kinh ngạc
In an era of rapidly developing social media, everyone has a chance to create their own stage. Every follow is a round of applause. But popularity has never been the only measure of music’s value. When some songs make it to the top charts, You have a hit song, right? A few years ago, the last time I checked, it had about two or three hundred million plays. I also released a very popular song called “Mangzhong.” Among the songs I’ve released, the total plays should be around ten billion. There’s a fairly famous song called “Qi Feng Le.” It’s extremely popular on social media. Each song’s individual play count basically exceeds one billion. I’ve been doing this for twenty years, but I’ve never had a song like that. I think the reason this song became a hit is because of the song itself, not because of you. When I first heard that you were an indie artist, I wanted to ask you if you cared about the market. But after hearing you sing, I didn’t want to ask anymore. Actually, I think your voice really moved me. “Let Me Sing” Accessible on all platforms, no barriers A female vocal music competition show For all girls who love music Creating an equal stage Whether you are in the spotlight as an established singer from “Sing! China” with the aura of a runner-up That’s truly impressive You have won the championship of “Sing! China” Yes I wrote for Ms. Wang Feifei her song “Tooooo Busy” and collaborated with Mr. Xue Zhiqian on “Alien Visitor” or if you rely solely on your passion and natural talent now a kindergarten teacher a health and wellness streamer a junior programmer an electrician a steelworker a short drama actor a mother of two Let Me Sing Let’s listen together to their brand new voices The preliminary ground competition areas are set up Three stations Each contestant will perform an a cappella piece and be scored by the preliminary round judges Up to five contestants at each station will receive a priority advancement card Other contestants will enter the pending zone After the selection at all three stations the judges’ professional opinions and the contestants’ personal preferences will be considered in the pending zone to fill the remaining advancement spots In the end, the three main offline preliminary regions will advance a total of 57 contestants Together with the three online regions which advance nine contestants they will form the national top 66 and proceed directly to “Let Me Sing” for the national competition recording with performances in three cities I want to make a wish to the pandas in Sichuan and to Huahua Huahua is a Huahua is a panda unlike any other with its own unique personality and its own physique I hope that what I can find are female singers who can accept and love themselves for all the ways they are different I make a wish to Bai Suzhen at the foot of Mount Qingcheng hoping that in this competition I can find a girl as free as a spirit with a soul that is truly free I, Little Ghost, make a wish to Chengdu’s hotpot hoping to meet a new singer with ideas and the courage to express them and with a strong attitude I want to make a wish to the bamboo During the bamboo’s rooting stage it takes about three or four years I hope our show can also find contestants with deep roots I want to make a wish to 798 Art District hoping that the contestants we meet today all have unique styles and creative inspiration I make a wish to all of Beijing’s 5A-rated scenic spots. I hope this time I can find the 5A contestant in my heart. Great Wall, though you are in ruins, your silence is powerful. I want to make a wish to you, hoping I can see a truly genuine contestant. Be a star, not a shooting star. I wish to hear and find a sound as crisp, bright, and pleasant as the cooing of Beijing’s pigeons. We wish that the Chinese music scene can have fewer autotune warriors and more live performance kings. The pressure of being the first is a bit much. Hello. Hello, teachers. Hello everyone, I’m Wang Naiying. And I’m a comedy content creator. Wang Naiying has twelve million followers. That many? Yes. But actually, I’m a singer. But a lot of people haven’t known that. So today, I want to come to this stage and show myself. Hello everyone, my name is Feng Qinyuan. You can call me Xiao Feng. And the name I use when I sing might be more familiar to listeners. It’s “Mai Lajiao Ye Yong Quan.” I also use this online name. There’s a fairly famous song called “Qi Feng Le” (“The Wind Rises”). How does “Qi Feng Le” go again? I was once lost in the vastness of the world, and also indulged in its dreamy words. Sounds nice. You’ve probably heard it before, right? Yes, I’ve heard it. I think I’ve also watched your music video. Because when I learned that song, I learned it by watching the video. Let’s see how you perform in a bit. Now I feel even more pressure. Actually, both of you are already well-known. Wang Naiying, you go first. Alright? Let’s hear you sing first. Okay. It has to be love at first sight. It has to strike straight to the heart. Decided in an instant. That’s what real love is. Why think so far ahead? Why imagine it so perfectly? As long as you feel it in this moment. Alright, thank you. Next. Today I’ve prepared “Tear Bridge.” I think this song is better sung a cappella. That is, singing it in a conversational tone. I don’t mean to ask about your heart, my kiss. Tired of my guilt, replacing the one you love. At this moment, my heart falls like a drifting flower. Suddenly, my vision loses its color. Thank you. Thank you. Just the two of you coincidentally both seemed like you were falling asleep I think there’s a problem here I think there’s a problem here which is you are performers hiding behind your phones you’re actually not interacting with the audience or communicating directly with the viewers you record videos by yourselves it’s all planned out by you at your own pace without needing to coordinate with anyone but that won’t work we are sharing a space we are sharing a space right? you’re actually completing this together with the audience completing this together with the audience this performance Now I am already an improved version of Typhoon. I used to just stand still. No, actually, it doesn’t matter. Right? Look at how Faye Wong sings. No one can compare to that. Isn’t that so? She doesn’t even bother to lift her hand for you. You can be very cool too. But I need to see what makes you unique. Both of you have actually been behind the phone camera and proven by the market to be very charming people. So bring the charm you have behind the camera your charm and “translate” it to the front of the camera. Show your charisma. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Please go to the waiting area, thank you. Good luck. Hello, teacher. My name is Wang Ziyu. I majored in fine arts in college. You have a hit song, right? Yes, I was quite lucky. Yes, I was quite lucky. It has about two or three hundred million plays. “Red Oath” is indeed very popular. We even made an adaptation of it. On the show “Guoyue Grand Ceremony,” I also adapted this piece. Let’s begin. Don’t be so proud. I might leave at any moment. You still haven’t held my hand. The night is too long, the moonlight will surely grow cold. What should I do? You owe me a hug. Yet I keep smiling at you. Why haven’t you noticed how good I am? Thank you, teacher. Even though I said the result, I still won’t give you this card. It’s because you really seem not very confident. But with hundreds of millions of plays, for us, that’s something I’ve always dreamed of. I’ve been doing this for twenty years, and I’ve never had a song like that. Even Teacher Wu has adapted it. Yes, that’s something to be proud of. Thank you, teacher. Thank you for participating. This is even more astonishing. Fifty billion plays. Five. Where? Fifty billion plays. Hello, teacher. Hello everyone, my name is Liu Zhijia. Have we performed on the same stage before? Yes. Last time, with Deng Dian. Right, we performed together, yes. My hit songs have five billion streams. My representative works include with the collaboration with Wang Yitai “Dangerous Party,” and “Midnight Cha-Cha” with Deng Dian, as well as “Me Behind Time.” These already have hit songs. I’ve also performed on major stages and have rich performance experience as a singer. You’re really outclassing the competition. Impress us. Find a way to impress us. He left, but can’t take your paradise away. After it dries, rainbow tears will remain. He left, but you can keep your dreams. There will always be a place waiting for love to soar. Thank you. So, Zhijia, I didn’t really like your performance today. Originally, my impression of you was that your singing skills are very strong. But today’s cover with the added instrument accompaniment I think you might have been a bit distracted. I feel like you holding the instrument today didn’t actually add any points for you. To be honest, it actually took away some points. Because the instrument blocked you, you know? And you didn’t play it particularly well, either. Hello, teacher. My name is Zhao Fangjing. I’m a “nonconforming” medical student. While working part-time to support my studies, I also released a widely popular song called “Mangzhong.” This song was recorded in my school dormitory. Okay. Alright, then show us your skills today. Go ahead. Whenever I think of you, I just hate that love doesn’t last. Always trapped in a sea of suffering. Always trapped in a sea of suffering. Fresh green remains in vain. Wandering among the shadows of fallen flowers. Longing is useless. Only then do I laugh at old promises. What more could I ask for? Thank you. I think you didn’t sing well today. I think this song became popular because of the song itself, not because of you. I still don’t completely agree with this “crazy” idea Just this one sentence If I sang “Mangzhong,” it definitely wouldn’t become popular Why did “Mangzhong” become a hit I think it’s because in your vocal qualities even though your technique isn’t perfect and your singing ability has some flaws but you have a lot of charm I’ve also tried singing some “I think I’m your woman” But when I sing this line no one believes I’m his woman Do you get what I mean So don’t think that the success of “Mangzhong” has nothing to do with you at all It’s related to your vocal quality and also some of your natural talent That’s how it is Exactly First of all, in terms of vocal performance, I think it wasn’t a particularly outstanding performance. Have you ever thought about where this result comes from? What exactly is it? You came to this stage and chose to sing this song again. It seems you’re still choosing to use this opportunity you’ve already gained to try to Do you understand what I mean? It’s not really stepping out and creating something new. You haven’t found the logic in this. Because I think this is a very useful factor. If you master this, maybe you’ll have the key to popularity. Maybe you’ll know which part is your strength, and you can make good use of it. Welcome. Hello, teachers. My name is Liang Yuying. I’m twenty-eight years old. I’m from Guangxi. You won the championship of “Sing! China”. Yes. Why do my tears keep falling? Congratulations to my cousin Liang Yuying for winning the eleventh season of “Sing! China” as the overall champion. But I’ve never heard your name before. Maybe I’m not popular. But you already have such a great title. Why do you still want to participate in today’s competition? I’m not that lucky of a person. I think you have to fight for your own opportunities. Alright. So what song are you bringing today? “Lifelong Solitude.” I open my heart and tell the devil, “Come in.” Let it take away my cowardice and fear and drive them all out the door. A heart where nothing grows was once lush and green. The day innocence died, the sky was perfectly clear. A black mist floats in my mind. Anyway, I’m just as lonely. Is there any reason to drive it away? Who makes me press on without hesitation? I will— Who makes me— Sorry. I’m too nervous. Who makes me battered and bruised? I will— Oh my god. That shouldn’t have happened. You are already someone who has performed on big stages. How could you, in this kind of situation, have issues with your mental composure? Why? Why did this happen? Because I found out yesterday that it would be a cappella, so the song I had prepared before, I changed it to another one. But when it comes to memorizing lyrics, I’m especially bad at it. Usually, champions people who hold the champion title, when they come to a stage where they have to start from scratch, they are usually full of confidence. At least for the preliminary round, I think they could pass it with their eyes closed. This mistake really shouldn’t have happened. I don’t think this is the way a champion Yes, should be. I don’t understand either. To become a champion, you must have faced fierce competition and tough challenges. You must have encountered all kinds of situations and overcome them all. I don’t know how I can help you. Because I think you definitely have what it takes. Next, you will move to the pending area. Hello teachers, my name is Su Yingwen. I am currently a senior student. I also work in human resources. Hello, recommendation officer. My name is Chen Guo, I am twenty years old. I’m from Taizhou, Zhejiang. I am currently studying at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. I’m in the Pop Music Department, class of 2023. Okay, Yingwen will go first. Susu, you go first. Let’s love first. Take over a pair of shoulders. Block out some regrets. Let’s love first. Gnaw on a pair of wings. Endure one more season of darkness. Feel sad afterwards. Deal with it later. Thank you, teachers. Okay, next. Next. Hello teacher, my… My competition song is… My own original work. Okay. An original English song. I think this is the riskiest. There are a lot of pitfalls. Yes. Chen Guo, I need to remind you. You chose a “death” track. It’s both original and in English. Go ahead and sing. Okay. Go ahead, sing. You freeze the time In love, we all go blind We got drunk away We got drunk away And we kiss in the flames Take me to the golden days Wanna hold you every night Oh, they wanna tear us apart Keep us from falling in love It’s nobody’s fault We just follow our souls Baby, you’re not alone And we don’t need to explain it Just grab my hand, hold me tight Let’s leave this place far away Is there a Chinese version of the song? Yes Play a little more Clouds bloom The mist disperses No need for makeup Bringing brilliance Hints left in the blank spaces Letting go beyond the material world And you’ll feel at ease and free Actually, I quite like Chen Guo I also like Chen Guo I really like Chen Guo too This one you wrote Alright, let’s drop it Let’s give a follow card I have a different opinion Um Chen Guo, are you always dressed like this? I don’t know why But when you walked in Your appearance and your voice are quite different to me Her second Chinese song and her whole appearance Yes actually gives a certain sense of contrast Yes, a sense of contrast There is a sense of contrast I actually like it this kind of contrast Really? It’s just different It’s because of her voice It’s because of her voice It’s that kind of feeling, like a pure, innocent young girl’s voice So I actually think this is very interesting Then if you don’t play the piano and just stand there can you sing a few lines? I want to feel it again without the help of that prop to see what you’re like Take away your weapon Yes Her smile She can never go back You can only hear a dream-like emptiness She The one she loves deeply Pain will make the heart calm The completed window Feel it again Again Calm Fragile… her Thank you, teacher I’m almost out of time Actually, I understand how Teacher Hao Lei feels Don’t listen to her voice. It’s that, on the whole stage, she’s missing a soul. Yes. It’s this soul. How will you find it? I think this might be, for you right now, an even more important lesson than singing. It’s about stage presence, right? Right. So, I… I have reservations. But if the votes outweigh my opinion, then I have nothing more to say. Alright? Why are you crying? Do you have any sad memories? It’s just… What’s wrong? I just can’t really put it into words. Maybe… There was a chance just now to step onto a bigger stage. Actually, things like this are just something I’m not really… You don’t believe it. Yeah, I don’t really dare to think about it. Don’t get discouraged. Right? We’re talking about you here because we’re interested in you. Isn’t that right? I really like her, this kind of innocent state. At least I think she’s not fake. Yeah. She doesn’t have too many signs of being trained. Signs of being trained. And a lot of what we call our own self-trained habits, she doesn’t have those either. So I got a little excited. Go ahead and give it. I just think she needs this door to be opened. Please wait a moment, sorry. If we don’t need to consider her anymore, then just send it to her. But later on, there will be How many people do we still have after this? Wait a moment. Yes, I think we should wait a bit longer. Let’s calm down first. Actually, I agree we should wait. Wait a moment. Please have them go to the waiting area. Okay. Because after this, Yes, there are still so many people. Alright. Go to our waiting area first. Take a break. It’s because of her kind of rather raw and somewhat confused state that I think it’s a very good beginner’s state. But she also has enough talent to support her moving forward. Hello teachers, my name is Liu Zishuo. I’m nineteen years old. Hello teachers, my name is Xie Muqing. Alright. Come on. Come on. I thought if I worked hard, I could make my dreams come true. I thought if I wrote a good song, I could walk with my head held high. I thought if I traveled by motorcycle, I could become a hero. But now, I’ve lost that drive. Alright. Honestly, I’m really not sure if you’ll like me or not. I seem pretty cute, but that’s all nonsense. Even if no one loves you, you should love yourself. Live happily every day. Falling in love isn’t easy. Sounds nice. Two gentle people. Yes. Just like the girl next door. Zishuo. Actually, I think your voice really touched me. Your voice is very pure. and sounds very comfortable. When you were singing just now, I thought I really like your kind of voice. Listening to them sing and watching their performance makes me feel very relaxed. I feel very relaxed. I feel very relaxed. But sometimes it seems the voice doesn’t quite hit the mark. It seems like many new singers nowadays some singers have some misunderstandings about popular singing and soft singing, as well as breathy singing techniques. They have some misunderstandings. They would think I’m singing softly that this is enough as if it were just a dream our brief encounter on a sunny day or a rainy day in a crowded coffee shop Some people live for the fortune She thinks this way Anyway, I have a mic Anyway, I can record I can edit it later So I just need to sing like this and that’s enough But that’s not the case I think singing softly Everyone can listen Karen Mok On a cloudy day, with the lights off She uses a chanting style But we feel she is actually singing Her voice isn’t quiet during live performances She doesn’t use just a little breath It’s not like just using this little bit is enough is enough That’s not true She has power So I think in this aspect many singers should pay attention just to this point Alright, so our final decision is pending Thank you, teacher. You’re welcome. If you don’t get selected this time, both of you are welcome to come learn acting with me. Because I really like the way you both look. That’s great. Alright, good luck. I have high hopes for you. So cute. Teacher. A place to sing. Now it’s for selecting actors. Yes. You have a great image. Very recognizable. Right? Pretty good. Yes. Hello, teachers. My name is Xu Haotong. I am from Nanjing University of the Arts. I am currently in the Acting Department, a first-year student. Hello everyone, hello teachers. My name is Li Kang. I am currently studying at the Acting Department of Communication University of China. Hello, teachers. I am the actor Song Yixing. Then, with the second highest score in my major, I was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama as an undergraduate in the Acting Department. Hello, teacher. My name is Liu Yingyi. I graduated from Beijing Film Academy, Class of 2020, Acting undergraduate. Hello, teachers. My name is Ailifeya Kawulijiang. She’s my junior, right? You’re from Shanghai Theatre Academy, right? Yes, hello senior. Hello. So many acting students have come. Start the performance. I don’t have any big wishes. There’s nothing I need to rush for. I see the red light at the intersection flashing nonstop. It’s like a little sun winking. Student Xiao Xu, like a mold. It’s boring. I’ve imagined countless possibilities. I’ve imagined countless possibilities. Living by the sea with you. Feeling the mountain breeze. Okay, thank you. Why not focus on being an actor? Voice, stage presence, form, and expression are inseparable. That’s true. But you focus on acting. Right? With such a good image, and graduating from such a good school. The sky is like soft candy. Even if it collapses, so what? Take a deep breath and shake off the sadness. Song Yixing You’ve been graduated for many years now. I feel like you haven’t used what you learned at this dance academy and at the Central Academy of Drama. That’s a pity. The eagle on Tianshan Mountain won’t just circle without flying over the peak. Lovers surround me, unwilling to leave. If you’re going to compete, you really need to study hard. Got it. The wind is still blowing tonight. Thinking of you, so gentle. Days with you are especially relaxing. Your face is perfect for acting. Act well. Okay, I’ll do my best. The final decision is pending. Thank you, teacher. Thank you all. So indeed, there’s a big gap between being an actor and a singer. Hello, teachers. I’m Chanel. I’m 23 years old this year. I have previously acted in I have previously acted in “Interstellar Elf Landuo” and the movie adaptation of “Balala the Fairies” I participated in the filming of the movie. I was really happy as a child to have these opportunities. Maybe I was recognized by a small group of people. So I also hope that you, teachers, can let me use my music to start over. Thank you. Okay. Come on, let’s start the performance. Alright, I’ll perform “Feeling Good.” Breeze drifting on by You know how I feel And I’m feeling Dragonfly out in the sun You know how I feel Don’t you know Butterflies all havin’ fun You know what I mean Sleep in peace when the day is done That’s what I mean It’s a new world And a bold world And a new world for me It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life Okay, thank you. I think her vocal cords are actually quite rare. She belongs to the kind with strong vocal power, but her voice is solid. But her voice is solid. It’s a rather firm mid-range. Actually, she can be solid, can be powerful, and can also be delicate. And she can also be delicate. She can pull it back. She can pull it back. She can pull it back. Unlike many others, once they let it out, they can’t pull it back. Right. Among all the contestants I’ve seen, Overall, your quality is the best. I feel very confident. Hand out the card. Go ahead and give it. Come on, you do it. Thank you, teacher. There’s also a necklace, right. Alright. I like you for no reason. Congratulations on joining Qiaolezi. “Let Me Sing” National Competition. Congratulations. Thank you, teacher. How do you feel? I’m so happy. Alright, keep it up. I like you for no reason. I hope that on the stage of the upcoming national competition, you can perform freely and confidently. Qiaolezi, I like you for no reason. Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” National Competition. Here I come! This Chanel is truly a rare powerhouse vocalist. And her singing style is something you don’t find in today’s online singers. All the online singers none of them have this style. Right, because she uses her full natural voice to hit high notes directly. Most current singing styles are like Dan Yichun’s, using mixed voice and such. No, it’s more about switching between chest and falsetto. And they use a lot of breathy tones combined with falsetto. But like that girl’s performance just now, using pure chest voice to go straight up, and with such power, with such accurate pitch, and with that kind of appearance, it’s very rare. I’ve never seen it before. Actually, the main reason for her confidence is her solid foundation. I don’t have any big wishes. I just want a hundred lovers. Weiting does my laundry just for me. Yuyan gives me back massages with a satisfying crack. Shen Teng is in charge of the kitchen. Yanzu makes soup for me. Xu Minghao also sings for me. And the salary gets deposited into my account. In the lyrics just now, were those your wishes? Or your dreams? Both. It’s okay. Because I think you probably every time you meet someone, you put their name into the lyrics. That’s right. Why haven’t I pressed this bell all this time? I’ve been waiting. Waiting for her to sing about me. She sang about you. She just has a special fondness for you. She didn’t put that dream into the lyrics. Next time for sure. That was fun and made me happy. Thank you. Goodbye. Hello, teacher. I’m Chen Tudou. I’m twenty-five years old. And I’m from Guangdong. I’m a short video beauty influencer. OK I’m going to perform a song for everyone A-Mei’s “Fire” I just love music I just love music Don’t tell me to stop I just love singing My breathing keeps the beat The passion in my heart Is my compass If you want to be happy, just be happy Be serious in everything you do The fire you breathe Is me Sorry Okay Okay A very confident performance A special sense of harmony inside and out Right? Very passionate But I have to say You were off-key the whole time Sorry Go, Tudou! Thank you, Teacher Hao Lei Keep it up Sorry Hello, everyone. Greetings to all the experts. Hello.

Come, introduce yourselves. Hello, teacher. My name is Lu Yu. I am twenty-one years old. I’m from Fuzhou, Fujian. And my… Everyone calls me Little Biscuit. In my free time, I like to… hold concerts in karaoke rooms. Hello, teachers. I’m someone who can turn philosophy papers into song lyrics—I’m Shirley Lin. I’m twenty-two years old. I’m currently studying philosophy at New York University. I’m a singer-songwriter. And also a… blogger who posts about everything. Alright. We’re looking forward to your wonderful performance.

Our faces will be just as before. Unchanged. Alright. Girl I don’t want to see you get hurt the same way. So I learned to spoil you. Again and again, I kept wrongly blaming you over and over. You two, please comment on each other first. Little Biscuit, you didn’t get to the singing and dancing part of the chorus. That’s right. What a pity. I think your singing doesn’t sound as good as it does online. You’re so bold to say that. So honest. I’m getting nervous. You won’t blame me, right? I won’t. Of course not. She might hit you. No wonder you told me to look forward to your singing and dancing. There’s a dance part in her chorus. Really? Then show us. For the admiration in your eyes, girl, my story unfolds because of you. I learned to be patient for you. For you, for you, I’ve changed all my bad habits. Okay. Still think it’s really cool. The face is right here. Actually, I really like your style. Because you’re very recognizable. If you really want to sing, you’d better go learn properly. Alright. I’m already prepared now to study seriously. I’m going to become a trainee-type contestant. Alright, then good luck. Thank you, teacher. Lu Yu, have you ever come across Lin Xi’s videos? Yes. She is When I was in high school I still had her songs saved on my music player So, are you really the heiress of Lin Bank? Bank That’s a long story Lin Bank At that time, this was a joke from “iPartment” There was a character named Lin Wanyu And you also had something like having dinner with Bill Gates Are these things true? It’s true It’s true But you can’t really call it having dinner with Bill Gates That was a charity dinner A dinner where Bill Gates was present, right? Yes He was a guest And then There really are a lot of people who will say untrue things It was supposed to be a very happy thing but it became a source of trouble for me Maybe the internet can amplify everyone’s strengths and make them stand out more But if you treat what you love and want to expand its field then maybe you have to Put in more effort because you need to surpass yourself the version of you everyone already knows the you on the screen So I hope that in the future, you all can also keep working hard and do what you love Thank you, teachers This means a lot to me It truly has great significance So today, we have made our decision Pending Thank you, teacher Thank you Keep it up What impressed me the most was Teacher Hao Lei what she said to me what she said to me was that if I truly love music I should seriously make time for it That benefited me a lot We are all in the process of growing We need to work hard We are still developing, so we must keep going Hello, everyone Hello, teachers. Have you ever heard of a supermodel singing? Hello, everyone. I’m KAT from Hong Kong, China. And then, I am currently a partner at a marketing company, and also a self-proclaimed fashion social media blogger. Actually, “supermodel” is also a title I gave myself. That’s why I’m wearing these shoes. Because many people say if they had to use a celebrity to describe me, I would choose Cherrie Ying. Because many viewers say I don’t look like her, but my voice sounds a lot like hers. Now that you mention it, it really does sound similar. It’s pure talent. Why is that? Because I love to talk. And after talking so much, my voice just turned out this way. Hello, teachers. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wan’er. Wan, as in the word for rice bowl. If any of you teachers have any questions out of curiosity, feel free to ask me. It’s really no problem. I have a good attitude about it. You’re very open-minded, right? Yes. I’m a bit curious. About this thing. Does it hurt when you wear it on top? It used to hurt. But now, after wearing it for a long time, a thick layer of callus has formed. So it doesn’t hurt much anymore. It can also be charged. If your phone runs out of battery, it’s not a problem for us. We have a power bank. It’s a power bank. That’s amazing. Yeah. It also has a case. But… Unfortunately, the case… I broke it the day before yesterday. It was a silver case. And it had a wing. Yeah. That’s so cool! I originally wanted to wear that silver case when I came to meet the teachers. But this is cool too. It’s also cool. It really has that futuristic vibe. If it could power some kind of instrument, and you could play that instrument, then this stage would totally blow up. Electric guitar. Yeah. That’s so cool. Alright, let’s get started. Because I was doing a sound check backstage, and also at the hotel, I don’t usually wear high heels. Because I can’t take off these shoes. So hopefully it won’t get recorded. Thank you, teachers. You really don’t have any hang-ups. I really don’t. Yeah. I hope this weird look won’t distract us. It won’t. Look at this. Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On Jupiter and Mars In other words hold my hand In other words please be true In other words In other words I love you You finished transforming so quickly. Yeah, very fast. I’m used to it. That’s impressive. Thank you. If it’s Yali, Actually, your singing is really nice. Actually, your singing is really nice. And you’re a mezzo-soprano too. Thank you. But when you talk, it’s a bit like that fairy-like kind of tone. But when you sing, it’s that it’s that Fly me to the moon So when choosing songs in the future, I think you can consider more when picking songs. There are actually many songs for mezzo-sopranos. There are songs you can sing. They can match your personality and seem more consistent with you. Right. Okay. Here, a bowl. Give me a kiss Will you, or won’t you? Even a blown kiss is fine I would still be grateful Even if you just stare at me And don’t respond I still want to ask you Even if you never respond Give me a kiss Will you, or won’t you? Even a blown kiss is fine I would still be grateful Give me a kiss Will you, or won’t you? Even a blown kiss is fine I would still be grateful She kept singing those lyrics. It felt like you just had to give her one. Yeah. I kept looking at Teacher Shang Wenjie. I felt like I would relax a bit. I felt like I would relax a bit. So I can help you relax a little, right? Yes. That’s great. Because I really like you. You’re really cute too. Thank you. Actually, nowadays whether it’s artificial intelligence or automation, they can replace a lot of our human functions. But the one thing they can’t drive is our spirit. Our willpower. And you’ve achieved that. I think that’s amazing. Thank you, teacher. That’s also why I wanted to participate in this show. It’s because I want to give more energy to girls. And I hope they can all truly accept themselves, love themselves, and then together fully experience life. Let’s enjoy this journey. Thank you. Then let’s go to the holding area for now. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, thank you, teacher. Good luck. Thank you. We’ve still left room for consideration. Don’t worry. Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye. Goodbye. I just feel more confident now. And I want to step out. Wearing high heels. To walk out beautifully and confidently. Yes. I haven’t competed before. And then To have such an authoritative teacher say “Turns out you sing really well.” It makes me feel very confident and happy. That’s how it is. Hello, teacher. I am a rapper. My name is Captain Liu Yi. Rap contestant. Let’s go. I’m about to start now. Pretty relaxed. They look forward to a new day. I look forward to a new night. I renovate old rooms. To gain new experiences every day. I like watching the moon rise. I really want to take down the sun. Thinking about life feels meaningless. Might as well stay in bed. I spent every day without any plan. Let life run free. Go see any friend. Sailing at night. Sailing at night. Sailing at night. Thank you. The name of this song is “Sailing at Night.” So you really like hip-hop, right? I really like rap. I like music. Okay. This is the type of music I make. But I like music. But since your music started with rap, Yes. So now you basically consider yourself as a rapper. Seems very hesitant. Because I think a singer Why do we have to separate rap singers jazz singers or other types of singers? I only I only say it when I’m making money that I’m a rap singer. But I won’t use this to label myself. My world is much bigger. My world is too big. Labels really aren’t necessary. But why do we ask these kinds of questions? It’s because we want to know what exactly you do, or what your strengths are, and where your expertise lies. That last performance honestly didn’t move me. It’s because I couldn’t tell if you were singing the main melody, rapping, or actually singing, or doing melodic rap. So that’s why I asked you. How do you define yourself? Teacher. Do you want to hear my rap? Do you want to hear a bit of mine, the kind you might stereotype as what a rapper would perform? I don’t have any stereotypes about rappers. I also don’t know what those stereotypes are. But it’s just that the reason I can ask this question is actually because the way you designed your last performance didn’t make the main point clear to me. Give me another 30-second segment. Yes. I think you should show what you really want to express. I got the microphone check Microphone check Tell me, who’s the captain in the game I got the microphone check Microphone check Tell me, who’s the captain in the game Here you are Let me get everybody Listen to Chinese rap Let me use a northern flow Show you how cool Bomber is Be a singer who goes against the trend Back to the golden era Break out of the trap, how can you represent a mature generation Slippers tapping, stepping on the beat You and me together Forget the price Back to the golden city Interesting inspiration comes from freedom Freestyle rap Only turtles dislike me Thank you Me too, actually Listening to you sing, I still don’t know I don’t really know what you’re best at I think the market positioning Including your own self-positioning I think it could be clearer We can discuss a question About rap right now Is it really the secret to popularity Because nowadays, rap culture is featured in many shows. A lot of young people are first exposed to music through rap. This is different from before. In the past, when we started with music, it was all about singing melodies. But with rap, can it really become a formula for popularity? I just think for example, today your performance didn’t leave much of a deep impression on me. That’s because I feel that as a rap artist, your vocal abilities aren’t strong enough. I’ve seen many amazing rappers who also have very strong vocal skills. For example, this person here, and also, I’ve worked with a few others before, all of whom have extremely strong vocal abilities, even comparable to any mainstream singer. Because we’ve seen so many rappers who are also great singers. So in this aspect, I felt just now that you were lacking. My vocal skills aren’t strong enough. Yes. She seems to have doubts about this. Should I give it a try? Test my own vocal abilities. Teacher, would you like to hear me sing? Sing a few lines. Let’s see what you’re really made of. Right? The wind is still blowing tonight. Thinking of you, so gentle. Days with you are especially relaxing. Alright. I think when it comes to head voice resonance, you need to work on it more. The upper part of your singing right now is disconnected. From all aspects, your vocal performance in this song did not showcase your strengths. Yes. I’d like to say something to the teachers. Actually, I’m only speaking for myself. But I think I am I do like your way of expressing yourself. I have an idea. What idea? I just think that in this show, there definitely needs to be a rapper. There always has to be a rapper. I just think what she truly wants to express will make people curious about what she’s saying. She might say she feels “I have my own ideas.” “I have things I want to express.” I find this point very appealing. I’m only talking about right now. Today’s performance, right now. I do think it’s lacking focus. Understood. It’s a bit scattered. Got it. To me, it sounds a bit scattered. You helped the captain. You introduced some things you did before. But what we want to see is still you. In that very moment. The feelings you can convey to us. Alright, then we probably won’t give you this attention card. Thank you. Alright, thank you. Thank you all for listening to me sing. If you went home right now, what would you do alone in your room? I would sing my heart out. I would definitely work hard to improve myself. Right now is when I feel most motivated. I won’t change myself because of this. I will only use this to better myself. If she feels that my performance today didn’t move her, then I’ll bring a performance that moves her. I’ll look for a way that she feels can touch her even more. Or a way that’s easier for her to understand. I won’t. I won’t change anything because of this. Are they twins? Yes. Just like us. There’s another pair here too. I’m the older sister. My name is Li Sinan. Hello, teacher. My name is Li Sitian. Hello, everyone. My name is Li Sisong. My dad’s name is Li Wei. Really? What a coincidence. Say hi to Li Wei for me. You mean Li Weisong says hi to Li Wei? Okay. One family. They’re all from the Li family, right? Four Lis. Two pairs of twins. Alright, come on. What are you going to sing? We’ll sing “Remember Me.” “Remember Me.” Can you be a bit more in sync? As twins. Right. Remember me This voice, this tone Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don’t let it make you cry The voice is so unique For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song for you Each night we are apart Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms Again Remember me I can only say that people named Li Si are all quite impressive. Everyone in the Li family is really talented. Isn’t that right, teacher? And both of them are really good. Just now, there was a vocal part when she was singing, it sounded a bit like you. Her voice is even richer than mine. Her voice is a bit fuller than mine. Sister, your mezzo-soprano is really rare in the entertainment industry. It’s really hard to find this kind of voice in the industry. A particularly rich mezzo-soprano. One leans towards mezzo-soprano, the other is a bit more soprano. But when the two sang together at the end, the final note blended together. Their final vibrato frequency was exactly the same. Remember me Their voices resonated together. It was amazing. Should we give the twins a card? We should. The twins deserve it. Can the twins sing a short Chinese song for us? Because you’ll be competing later, with many singers of this style. So let’s sing a song that’s a bit different in style. The bright moon rises alone over the western tower Didn’t tell me at all We agreed to stay in touch But then lost contact Noah set sail with the ark And didn’t inform me either They were not alone in this Leaving me stranded on the shore The bright moon rises alone over the western tower Didn’t tell me at all We agreed to stay in touch But then lost contact You went up the western tower alone I drink a glass of bitter wine You look down at me But I can’t lift my head Mary, Mary, count to three Close your eyes and make a wish Sometimes high, sometimes low It isn’t right, babe, no, no What should I do I want to give a (support) card I really want to give it Thank you, teacher There’s no reason for liking you Congratulations You’ve entered Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” National Competition Thank you, thank you, teacher Keep it up Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” National Competition I’m here You know their voices It’s like singing You look at me, I look at you, you look at me. I think she has the vibe of a vocalist. In those days, at that time, the big stage for Chinese pop music was Shanghai. Sounds good. Really good. I’ve always hoped for someone who can really sing, the kind that goes “bang bang bang”. Still waiting, hoping for that. Brave Yangyang, I’m the strongest. Brave Yangyang, I’m here to sing. In this world, there’s Pleasant Goat, Lazy Goat, and me, Brave Hu Yangyang. Hello teachers, I’m Hu Yangyang. I think the bravest thing I’ve ever done was when I was eighteen, I decided to go alone to a strange city, and in one night, I called fifty bars, just for a chance to be a resident singer. And today, I’ve come to this place, “Let Me Sing”. I think this is my new act of bravery, a fresh start. You’ve got quite a powerful voice. Good luck! Come on, let’s start. I’m a bad woman to keep. I can be wicked. I’m not here to please you. You corner me. But I regain my composure. Once you turn bad, you never go back. Thank you, teacher. I heard your powerful voice. You have great ability. But I still feel there’s no connection to your heart. I hope to hear music from contestants with “roots.” “Roots” means the heart. I believe only music connected to the heart can truly move people. It’s not just about making a strong first impression. Hey, engage your core. Focus your expression. No, I move on. I understand the meaning of life. I saw flowers blooming all over the sky This Xiao Zhou is even more interesting She wore an outfit like this And brought a guitar Then she sang a song That had nothing to do with the other two Honey You put love into my heart Oh honey Sorry Sorry My specialty is Performing as Keyun I have a good friend Who also performs very well Her name is Li Sidanni I want to perform for the teacher My child Can really draw the audience With a truly captivating voice It’s not because of all your But because of what’s inside you Your own emotion That is the “root” inside your heart Sorry. Excuse me. Um, I… Hello, teacher. I’m a bit allergic to that. The willow catkins are really annoying. I’m allergic to willow catkins. I feel like here, there are willow catkins everywhere. No. There aren’t any here. Don’t worry. Breathe in deeply. It’s fine, there aren’t any. No willow catkins. Okay. I’m not wearing my glasses. I might not see very clearly. Don’t let it affect your performance. If you need your glasses, It’s okay. Maybe I’m just too sleepy. At this time, I usually put my son to bed. Alright, let’s go. This song is called “TIAMO”. It’s in Italian. It means “I love you”. It’s an original song of mine. I’m thinking about how I can see you. Besides briefly handing over work, I can also quietly listen to you sing. Maybe I really want to step into your life Many times I take the initiative to look for opportunities Maybe I can hear you talking But I can’t say it out loud Afraid things will change I’m not like a kite Always worrying about gains and losses Afraid to feel both the sweetness and the loneliness Joking around Can’t offset The frustration of getting no response Without your signal Thank you Original work And it’s very warm Very comfortable And your singing is also very good Basically, I can’t find many faults But it seems like something is missing It’s just called personality Or maybe that extra something with more flavor that grabs us This is what I’m most afraid of She seems perfect but doesn’t captivate I don’t know why Because I have to make money Because I have to make money Other songs with unique features have to be sold so it’s not good to perform them I think this song is more mainstream and it’s already been released so it’s fine I’ll just sing it casually No problem. I think you can keep going. Keep singing. Because you have the ability to sing. Actually, I don’t. I sing really badly. She’s good. Gefei. May I ask you something? Why did you choose to come here? Of course, to make money. To earn a bit more. If my class fee could be raised, that would be good too. Don’t you think so? I can understand you. But you need to do this well first. This thing. If you sing, you need to sing well first. Maybe I’ve already been worn down. I have to be sincere in expressing myself to you I think you make me feel a sense of distance Actually, I have other songs that don’t have this sense of distance but I don’t dare to sing them I also feel they’re not that great These are two different things One thing is the issue of your song choice Of course, I encourage you to show me what you most want to express I might think maybe it was previously recognized by others before so you think it might be good For songs you wrote yourself you certainly know what is good or what you are willing to sing at that time because how do you know who you will meet today who is listening to your song and the opportunity is right here And actually, I can definitely hear that you can sing and you can write too You know that as well But I just feel you’re not sincere I think no matter who you sing for even if it’s for an amateur that kind of sincerity and respect should always be there I disagree You can disagree. Then I’m sorry. But that’s the impression you give me. I don’t know why. Of course. When you were singing, I felt you were serious. Your song— I think you have skill. I’m just being honest. Excuse me, teacher. Let me interrupt for a moment. I think— Just like Teacher Hao Lei I used to always hear her say truly listen, truly observe, truly feel I think I am that kind of person including just now I might have tried hard to open my eyes I tried hard to recall these lyrics what I was talking about But you end up making you push others and you yourself aren’t really The stage requires sincerity Teacher I want to ask what is sincerity, in your opinion I think right now you are full of a sense of indifference Of course, we can understand it’s because of the willow catkins, right and also because you’re tired but there’s nothing you can do you’re performing right now you must have a focused attitude May I ask did my performance just now seem indifferent First, your song selection didn’t choose the song you care about most. Before you sing, you always feel like you have to give it your all. You have to think about it. I must not forget the lyrics. Yes, I do think about that. But I really don’t know what to do about being sincere. Because right now, I’m also stuck in a strange cycle. It’s like before, when everyone told you you have to write for the market, you have to make it marketable for me, you have to make this thing this song a hit, only then is it considered a success. So what counts as being sincere? The so-called “me”… I really understand you. I also often I have always Even now, I still ask myself this question. But this is just one part. You can’t put all your energy into this alone. There’s also yourself. What this market needs is the real you. Real life. Sing about not having money for baby formula. That feeling. Sing about wanting to do your best for your son or your child. That feeling of wanting to work hard. Express it in your singing. I really I think that’s what life is about. I think that’s what life is about. Something precious. If you master it, you can turn it into an ideal tool. But you only used the tool, but you didn’t truly dig out your treasure. That treasure is your heart. Pretty good. Pretty good, teacher. Let me think about it. I’ll pick another one next time. The kind of “crazy” songs I write. Let’s give it a try. Thank you, teacher. Thank you for understanding me. Alright, you go rest first. Okay, you go rest first. Because I know you’re too sleepy. You’re too tired. Thank you, teacher. Go rest. Thank you, teacher. Good night. Thanks. Do you think the audience can tell the difference between music with “roots” and music without “roots”? I think the audience doesn’t need to know that much. It’s enough if they are moved. Because only music with “roots” can truly move the audience. If it doesn’t have roots, they might like it, but it’s not the same to a certain extent. That’s a qualitative difference. You don’t need to explain it clearly. Why? Explaining the music is our homework to do, not the audience’s. Mr. Wu Tong, last year, someone said that you were especially suited for “Singer”. So I’d like to ask, why didn’t you participate? Why didn’t you participate? And will you go this year? I respect everyone on that stage. Their professionalism. But I think that stage is more often a place for an already established singer to seek a bigger stage or more exposure. It’s a better, step-by-step progression. But for me, because actually, I think that’s great, and I respect it a lot. But for me, that’s not the most appealing thing. After reaching a certain age, I feel you actually know what you want to do. The people who should know you already know you. Then you just follow your own path and do your thing. Understood, thank you, teacher. Understood, thank you, teacher. Yes, sorry. I’m not sure if this answer satisfies you. She’ll only be satisfied if you go. Hello. Hello teachers, my name is Bian Ya. I’m an “independent” singer-songwriter. Thank you. Alright, good luck! This song is called “Beginning of Spring.” It got dark too early last night The talking cat was too noisy I was a bit worried about this night It felt special Did it make me grow older In a drowsy dreamland We woke up together Silence is the most tempting Forgetting rushes through the body From now on We must carry both rain and warmth on our backs Starlight scatters on our shoulders We must also bring sincere warmth No matter where we are Walking and stopping Our gazes always meet and gather No matter where we are Walking and stopping Our gazes always meet And gather Thank you, teacher. I like your performance. Thank you, teacher. I really want to give you this “attention” card. I’ll state my opinion first as well. I like it. Thank you, teacher. Because I probably also grew up listening to those Taiwanese folk songs. So this singing actually brings a very special kind of memory that hits me. Especially when she sang that part at the end where everyone comes together, that particular line, I was really moved by it. If we describe folk songs as a glass of plain water, as a glass of plain water, I think she actually added something into this plain water, like dropping a bit of alcohol into it. It creates a very unique reaction. Her voice is also very special. In any case, you are a truly talented contestant. I want to give her the “attention” card. I really want to as well. I agree. I don’t really agree. Sorry, maybe this type of music style isn’t really within my aesthetic preferences. But I really respect the direction of your creative work. I think there will definitely be your own market and audience. If the teachers want to give I completely agree. Because actually, to be honest, my opinion isn’t about whether or not to give this (attention) card. I’m just simply expressing that the market you’ll face in the future will be like this too. Some people will like it, some people won’t, and some might even dislike it. I think it’s a voice from the market. It will definitely appear in the future. That’s actually realistic. But the reality now is that it’s three to one. So we won. I really understand Little Ghost. Because, for example, someone comes up and raps, I really can’t appreciate it. I’m the same as you. This style isn’t my thing either. But why am I so determined that I have to give you this attention card is because we’re looking at people now. We’ve always been thinking about what music will be like in three years. What will it be like? In three or five years, everyone knows what we need to surpass now is no longer the competitors next to you. What you need to surpass is AI-generated music. From a composer’s perspective all the chords that can produce a successful melody can be generated by AI faster than humans much faster And from a lyric-writing perspective from the angle of text AI is even faster Musicians should feel a strong sense of crisis So what can people do that can’t be replaced by AI What is it For example your performance today I think it’s something that AI won’t be able to replace for at least ten years That is, truly creative and unique to the individual So what can surpass AI is still creativity and personal charm and uniqueness And you actually have all of these That’s what I told you about that drop of wine. I think one day it might happen. Please imitate Bian Ya’s singing style. Sing this song for me. Yes. Maybe there will be a program for it. Like, the way this singer sings, can the vocals sound like a certain singer, named Bian Ya. You could become the one who programs this. Keep it up. I have to say, your music moved me. It’s not because your singing skills are so strong, but because I think you have a unique perspective. And your music shows the poetry of ordinary days that you want to convey. I think this is what pop music or any kind of music is really all about— expressing the creator’s view of the world. I think in this piece, I felt that. She has always been singing from her heart. And she really enjoys it. Immersed in music, she embarks on a journey to find her inner self. So her music has roots. Even though she has a floating mindset, a wandering mindset, even so, she is still grounded. She is always together with her own heart. So, what is a journey, really? For some people, the journey is to find their own roots. But even though she is on a journey, her roots have always been there. She has always been with her true spiritual home. So I think she is amazing. There’s no reason not to like you. Congratulations on making it to Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” National Competition. Thank you, teacher. Congratulations. I’m looking forward to your next performance. Thank you, teacher. Good luck! Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” National Competition. I’m here! We’re really looking forward to the next contestant. Which one? This one? Yes. Hello, teachers. My name is Zhang Tongxi, Selina. I am twenty-two years old. I graduated from Berklee College of Music. My style is electronic pop. I also have some representative works. For example, I wrote a song for Ms. Wang Feifei. Her song “Tooooo Busy.” Hello, teachers. I am an original music artist. Luo Xiaohei. So both of you are original music artists. So at the moment, among the works of you two, which song has achieved the best results? The one I collaborated on with Mr. Xue Zhiqian, “Visitor from Beyond.” Do you think you sing it better, or does he sing it better? Well, everyone has a different way of expressing themselves. I think when Mr. Xue rearranged and rewrote the lyrics, he made it more like a declaration to the world that he wants to pursue the one he loves. But when I sing “Visitor from Beyond,” it’s more like a whispered confession to the one I love. Selina (Zhang Tongxi). Yours should be Ms. Feifei’s song. What do you think? Do you like this song? I like it a lot. But I might also really like the songs I’ve released myself. I love them all equally. Then you two can start your performance. I find myself on another planet. A parallel universe I imagine Floating cities and sinking prisons Seeking truth exposing fiction What’s gonna happen Letting go as the evening blackens Finding peace in the upside-down light Carpe Diem I’ve been to your planet Aliens can speak a little Mandarin Upside down what it is what it brings You and I have seen stranger things Planet of my dreams Planet of my dreams Thank you Thank you, teachers Selina is currently my favorite artist Thank you, teacher Because electronic music is a style I really like and it’s also a direction I want to pursue That’s great In your previous performance I also felt that you really put your heart into it And I also believe electronic music can’t be fully expressed by just singing a cappella It needs a real stage I’m really looking forward to your future performances It’s very interesting Because I think She has a very distinctive personality. She gives off the vibe of an avant-garde musician. So I think she is a 5A. Right now, she is basically among all the contestants I’ve seen so far, the closest one and also one of the more mature singers. Thank you. Thank you, teacher. You brought me happiness. You added some color to this world. I really want to criticize that you are too casual. A treasure should be cherished by someone. Are you mine? You are like something from another world. Something I long for but cannot have. Your name in the mundane world no longer matters. The personality that advises me to hide is persistent. Until the crowd that rushes in all become transparent. I am neither too close nor too far away. I trade tomorrow for you to come closer to me. Thank you. As soon as Xiao Hei started singing, I actually got goosebumps. They appeared right away. Because her appearance is very simple, but when she opens her mouth, she doesn’t make me feel her shyness. Even in her laid-back and relaxed vibe, there’s a bit of subtle power. It’s the penetrating quality of her voice that really amazed me. There’s a reason why her (song) is successful. Yes. Xiao Hei, the song you just sang, is it different from Joker Xue’s lyrics? Are there any differences? He rewrote the lyrics. And released it again. That’s right. What were your original lyrics like? The lyrics I originally wrote basically describe two people in love. So I wrote it like this: The important thing is, I love you. And you just happen to love me too. Even without any promises, we’ll still love each other. At least, we’ll still be in love. It’s like talking to the person I love, confiding my feelings. I have a small request. It’s about Selina (Zhang Tongxi). Can you sing a part of that? I’m busy, busy, busy. Too busy, busy. Can you sing a bit? Sing a part for us. Let me hear how you compare to what Ms. Wang Feifei sang. What’s the difference? Okay. I’m too busy working. I’m too busy dancing. I’m too busy dying. Feeling mad. Very good, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, teachers. Both of you are a bit excited. I want to give both of them a 5, an A. Give both of them a focus card. Give both of them a focus card. Is that possible? Thank you, teacher. How about you? Because this focus card is extremely valuable. It’s very, very hard to get. Because we still have many more singers coming to this stage to sing. But today, you are competing in the same round, and both of you are singer-songwriters. So in this situation where you’re similar, between the two of you, I can only choose one. Ms. Cai. We can only, in the process of homogenization, choose the best, the so-called best one. They are just too similar. Both are creative types. Both have written songs for famous singers. It can easily make other kids misunderstand. From my perspective, I think both of them deserve this (attention) card. Two (attention) cards. I completely agree. Because I think we came to participate in this show, you have your mission, and we have ours. I think being able to see you all is something I should thank you for. I think this is what we should support, what we want to discover, what we want to hear, and what we want to see. Most importantly, you are singing your own world. So I completely agree. Thank you. Thank you, teacher. Let’s leave it at that, then. Teacher Wu Tong, if you had to choose one out of two, let me ask you first. No. Who would you choose first? Both of them are good. They’re both good. I still insist on giving it to both of them. Because I don’t know if there will be anyone better later. If there is someone better later, then we can make this choice again. But right now, they are already this good. They’ve already shown their abilities. What should we do? Teacher Wu, no matter who is pending, there will still be opportunities. Because this stage, “Let Me Sing,” won’t let your talents go unnoticed. We’ve already seen the best. Why make her wait? Maybe we can wait for the next ones too. If we come across someone better, it’s really a tough decision. I really want to give it to both of them. I think we should give it to both. So, I speak for myself, this is my final thought. Actually, I agree with Teacher Cai. Let’s pick one first. I’ll make notes on the other one. There’s no one better than you. It’s you. Is that okay? Okay. Is this alright? No matter who we choose, the other one of you still has a great chance. I will at least try to fight for you. Alright? Honestly, I really want to choose both. I truly want to give it to both of you. But if I have to pick one, I would choose Tongxi. Thank you, teacher. Alright, next. Teacher Hao. I choose Xiao Hei. Thank you, teacher. I’m straightforward and direct. I vote for Selina (Zhang Tongxi). Because she has more versatility in her performance. Alright. I agree as well. Okay. Since you all agree, if you agree, then I’ll go with her too. Really. I would also vote for Tongxi first. But on your side, I’ll make a note in my little notebook. I’ll write it down for you. Because I also really like Tongxi. I’ll “save” you later. Definitely. Thank you, teacher. Let Rongrong decide. Rongrong wants to… Thank you. Thank you, teachers. You came here by yourself. I want to say It’s okay, no problem. Come here, let me give you a hug. Here, this is yours too. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, teacher. There’s no reason not to like you. Congratulations on making it to Qiaolezi the “Let Me Sing” national competition. Thank you. That’s awesome. Thank you, teachers. Thank you. You can do it too. You can definitely do it too. Keep it up! Xiao Hei, keep it up! Go for it! Thank you. Thank you for your hard work, teachers. Qiaolezi “Let Me Sing” national competition. I’m here. Xiao Hei is absolutely unstoppable. She is very talented. Her musical talent Xiao Hei can definitely make it. Absolutely. Definitely can make it. Because right now, among all the contestants, she’s actually one of the best. It’s great to see contestants like this keep appearing. I’m really happy about it. We’re here! My name is Zheng Lingge. My name is Bai Haorui. I’m a social media blogger. I study traditional vocal techniques. An alternative singer-songwriter. I actually quite like how she’s a bit… …boring. I think you should just keep being boring. I want to hear more. Find something with more impact. The music feels really good. I’ve finally been waiting for this. Sing well, and you should go on “Singer” in the future. Hello teachers, I’m Zhang Keying. Keying’s mother is… …Ms. Zhang Kaili. Your mom holds your hand. Her singing is too flat. If I were watching TV, I’d change the channel. Beauty that’s all the same. Each has its own dullness.
