Chapter 464: Results of the First Two Periods
Although Gu Qingge also amazed many viewers with her song "Lu Hai Wei Wang" in the second episode of "The Road to the King of Singers", the popularity of this song is not as high as that of "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" which she sang in the first episode.
However, in the eyes of many professionals, the difficulty of singing "Lu Hai Wei Wang" is even higher than "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon". It can be said that it is a show of skill to the extreme!
In a sense, it is really challenging to sing the song "Lu Hai Wei Wang" well on a live stage.
However, Gu Qingge's performance was still perfect. In the end, she ranked second in this episode and did not need to worry about being eliminated.
After being edited and uploaded to major video platforms by fans, the song "Lu Hai Wei Wang" became the most popular on the Bilibili platform.
Many Bilibili users may not have watched the show "Road to the King of Songs" at all, but when they accidentally came across a video of Gu Qingge singing "Lu Hai Wei Wang", they clicked on it and were already conquered by her singing...
The most shocking part of the video is naturally when Gu Qingge sang this part: "Serve me as your king, carry the sword and break the armor to travel thousands of miles, roam the battlefield, let the sky be so high and vast that it startles the birds. Take glory as my gorgeous clothes, call me king, lift the long sword, chop the mountains and break the white waves, the ten thousand feet of silver waves...", she displayed her queen aura to the extreme!
Then the users of Station B couldn't help but give her the nickname "Whistle Spirit" and played all kinds of memes in the comment section -
"I can tell at once that you're not human! You're such a bold monster! I want you to show your true colors!!
"Great and mighty heavenly dragon, the Buddha Ksitigarbha! The Great Luo Mantra, the Prajna Buddhas! Prajna Bama Hong! Flying dragon in the sky! Go! It turns out to be a whistle spirit [blessing]"
"My pitch is off, my breath isn't steady, my articulation is unclear, my intelligibility is slightly reduced, and the transition between true and false voice isn't smooth. These are all my singing shortcomings... I call you a whistle expert!!! [Call]"
In addition to those who praised Gu Qingge through jokes, there were also very straightforward and high praises -
"She's stunning! Powerful, hoarse, rich, passionate, high-pitched, ethereal, graceful, soft, tender, operatic, and falsetto—she can master all these voices perfectly. I can't believe they all come from the same voice, and the high notes are even more terrifying!"
“So cool!!!! Ahh ...
"This woman is always like this, only caring about her own singing, not caring whether others will be jealous or not."
…
Judging from these comments from users of Bilibili, you can see how shocking Gu Qingge’s song "Lu Hai Wei Wang" is.
Gu Qingge's stubborn insistence on showing off his skills also gave a strong slap to the faces of some music critics such as Ding Dasheng.
After all, before this, Ding Dasheng had ridiculed Gu Qingge's song "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" as being like "a stone breaking in the chest". If she continued to show off her skills in the second episode, she would definitely not be able to continue to gain recognition from the audience.
But the fact is, her live performances still won the love of many listeners, and songs like "Lu Hai Wei Wang" will make even people who don't understand music at all think that this singer is very awesome, and the requirements for the voice and singing skills of this song are really too high!
Although the popularity of "Lu Hai Wei Wang" is not as high as that of "Zuo Zhi Zhi Yue", there are still many up-hosts who choose to prove themselves by covering it.
Every time Gu Qingge releases a new song, many anchors and up-hosts will cover it to take advantage of the popularity, but often while gaining popularity, they are also faced with all kinds of complaints.
Like this song "Lu Hai Wei Wang", some listeners said -
"I've listened to all the covers... and honestly... no disrespect to the masters, but none of them can compare... the pitch is good enough, but the quality is not guaranteed, let alone someone like the talented Gu who can perform the song so perfectly..."
"Gu Qingge is the kind of singer whose original songs completely crush all the covers, and if she does a cover, it's often better than the original!"
Although comments like these can easily draw hatred towards Gu Qingge, to be honest, they are not wrong. Gu Qingge's naturally gifted voice coupled with master-level vocal skills is indeed very powerful.
After the second episode of "The Road to the King of Singers" was broadcast, Gu Qingge had actually recorded its third episode.
In the third stage, Gu Qingge did not choose to show off her skills, but chose to move people with her emotions. The song she chose to sing was "A Love Letter to Filmmakers".
It just so happens that the movie she starred in is about to be released, and this song can be linked to the movie, which is a perfect combination.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that after two episodes of "The Road to the King of Singers" were broadcast, because Gu Qingge's two songs were very showy, some people thought that she was too obsessed with singing high notes and was unable to perform a song delicately.
Of course, Gu Qingge also noticed such public opinion, and her favorite thing to do was to respond to all doubts with her actions when others questioned her.
In fact, those who questioned her obviously did not pay enough attention to Gu Qingge. Maybe they were simply paying attention to the program "The Road to the King of Singers" but not to Gu Qingge herself.
Otherwise, these people should know that Gu Qingge had just sung a song called "Prose Poems Written by My Father", which made many listeners cry...
Gu Qingge is really not the kind of singer who can only sing high notes with howling sounds. If she really tries to sing softly, she can also be very moving and contagious.
However, in music competition variety shows like "The Road to the King of Singers", the so-called "connoisseur judges" on the scene still prefer singers who can sing high notes, explode on stage, and are passionate.
For example, An Mingxun, the young music king who ranked well in both episodes, chose a song that was very exciting on stage in the second episode. As a result, he successfully aroused the emotions of the audience and won the third place.
The first place in the second episode was won by Yang Xiaolian, the queen of singing who lost to Gu Qingge in the first episode. She unexpectedly chose to cover a song by Gu Qingge, which was "Little Love Song"!
This song can be regarded as Gu Qingge's early debut work.
I can only say that Yang Xiaolian is worthy of being the queen of singing. Her cover of "Little Love Song" also has its own unique flavor. It is indeed better than Gu Qingge's singing skills at that time, which were not yet fully developed...
