Dark Night Rabbit sings first!
If it were in the past.
Many people would probably sympathize with Dolphin Doll.
After all, there has always been a story on the King of Songs stage: those who sang after Dark Night Rabbit were all victims.
In fact, it was indeed the case.
After all, in previous competitions, after Dark Night Rabbit sang, the live interaction for other singers' performances was almost zero.
It was as awkward as it could get.
But now it's different.
Dark Night Rabbit is criticized for not being able to sing the dolphin sound.
And Dolphin Doll's popularity is immense. He uses the dolphin sound in every song, and people have praised his singing to the heavens.
Under such circumstances, if Dark Night Rabbit sings first again.
Can he break his victim curse?
"Second, that's good too." Dolphin Doll smiled when he saw the draw number.
This order suited him perfectly.
Dark Night Rabbit sings first, and then he goes up to sing, which perfectly allows for a comparison of their singing skills. Moreover, he is very confident in his song this time because he won the championship with this song in an overseas competition.
This song brought him glory, and now it will allow him to completely crush this Dark Night Rabbit and become the most dazzling King of Songs of this episode!
At the same time, winning this episode will magnify his achievement of ending Dark Night Rabbit's King of Songs status, giving him a significant advantage in the finals!
...
"I believe everyone is looking forward to the upcoming performance, so without further ado, the excitement continues after the commercials!"
The atmosphere of anticipation had reached its peak. The host came on stage, but when they heard about the commercial break, the barrage of comments instantly exploded!
"Damn, you're such a bastard!"
"Brothers, let's boycott these commercials!!"
"To have commercials at this time, I think these advertisers don't want to live anymore!"
"Geneva, give us our money back!!"
Although people were watching the show online and hadn't spent much money, they were all agreeing to the meme of brushing the city's "Listen to the Rain" episode.
About five minutes later.
Amidst a screen full of "Give us our money back" chants.
The official program finally resumed.
On stage.
Dark Night Rabbit was ready.
The dolphin sound is actually a very unprofessional term, which is why Su Yu has always emphasized that laymen only focus on the dolphin sound.
This term is very broad. Some firmly believe that only the whistle tone is the dolphin sound, some believe that anything above E6 is the dolphin sound, and some believe that head voice around G5 is the dolphin sound.
So, the dolphin sound is just a colloquial term.
Later, there was a more consensus statistic, which stated that high notes above C6 are dolphin sounds, whether it's the vocal cord, head voice, or whistle tone. Dolphin Doll's level is barely touching C6 with his humming, and he struggles a bit with the five sets of pronunciations.
Therefore, although the highest note in this song "Stars" has not reached the generally recognized height of a dolphin sound.
Su Yu can raise it himself. He can easily raise the humming part slightly. As long as it's not continuous pronunciation, this height is really easy for Su Yu.
Another crucial point in choosing this song is that the emotion it conveys aligns well with his current state.
The lights gradually dimmed.
There was no stage design for this episode either.
Only Dark Night Rabbit stood on the stage.
The lights were dimmer, creating a somber atmosphere.
Stars
Performance: Dark Night Rabbit
Lyrics: Listen to the Rain
Music: Listen to the Rain
After releasing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" last episode, another song about stars was released this time. Many viewers naturally thought of the previous song.
Inspirational?
And when Dark Night Rabbit sang the first line.
The entire audience was shocked!
"Ochen' mnogo..." (For better understanding later, the lyrics will be translated into Chinese.)
Damn!
What language is this?!
"Russian!!"
Mo Yan suddenly sat up straight, exclaiming in disbelief.
"Such standard Russian, it's unbelievable!"
Liu Huan was also filled with astonishment.
As for judges Yin Na and Han Qi, they were completely stunned, their mouths agape, not knowing what to say.
"Holy crap! How much more is he hiding?!"
"Alright, now I'm comfortable. Dark Night Rabbit's gender and age are unguessable, and now even his nationality is unguessable!"
"What is this? What is he singing? What kind of monster is he!!"
"My head is about to split, it's too outrageous, outrageously so!"
How many times have people thought Dark Night Rabbit had nothing left to show, but he always delivered incredibly shocking surprises.
Just like the previous switch between male and female voices, and then the dialect songs.
This episode is even more outrageous. First, a soulful "Hill" that made his age unguessable, and now a Russian version of "Stars," making his nationality unguessable.
"No... impossible!" Victor stood up instantly backstage.
How is this possible?
Isn't Dark Night Rabbit Chinese?
How can his Russian be so standard?
It made him feel like he was listening to a Russian singer.
Hard to believe.
But the fact was right before him, and he had to believe it!
"How many times have I asked myself,
What was I born for,
Why do I exist,
Why do clouds flow,
Why does wind and rain never cease,
Living in this world, what am I waiting for."
Because of the Russian language, there was a Chinese translation on the big screen during the recording.
The subtitles were naturally added in Chinese during playback.
To allow audiences who don't understand Russian to understand the song.
When the song, filled with sadness and a depth like the vast universe, began to play, coupled with the lyrics, many people finally came to their senses. This was a song about one's inner self.
"I want to fly into the clouds, but I have no wings,
The starlight in the sky tempts me,
But how easy is it to touch the stars?
Even if they are within reach,
I don't know if I have the strength to rush towards them..."
The singing was ethereal and sad.
It had a very strong sense of vastness and purity.
This "star" is not just about dreams; when replaced with family, it can also be understood as kinship.
This is the charm of a good song. Sometimes, when listening to a song, everyone hears it differently, but the core is the same.
Chasing the "star" that the heart yearns for the most.
Just as everyone was savoring the emotion of the song, the entire song entered the chorus.
At the same time, the goosebumps on the audience's skin stood on end!
"I will wait patiently and prepare myself,
To embark on the journey towards my dreams and hopes,
Don't burn yourself out, my stars are waiting for me..."
Simultaneously.
The stage lights slowly lit up with the soaring high notes.
I'm numb!
A continuous bombardment of high notes!
And it was so effortless, so powerful!
Just then.
Two children, around twelve or thirteen years old, walked onto the stage from the side.
They stood behind Dark Night Rabbit.
These were two young singers that Su Yu had temporarily arranged with the production crew.
As the last note was about to be sung, the children's clear voices joined in.
Pure and clean.
Like the gentle hum of sacred angels.
Instantly smoothing out the emotions after the explosive high notes.
It was beautiful and carried a sense of mission.
