Zhou Yiyang was a little surprised when listening to this song.
He had heard this song before, and it was considered to be one of the higher-quality music in this world.
Most importantly, this song is the theme song of a hit TV series.
The original drama is the kind of melodramatic, tragic drama that Gao Li loves the most. This song appeared just when the heroine was diagnosed with leukemia and lost her memory, and her ex-husband came to find her.
Zhou Yiyang still remembers the edited scenes. Even someone like him who has never watched the show couldn't help but feel sad.
It was a clever song choice indeed for him.
Jin Xiu Yu's team can be said to be Zhou Yi Yang's favorite.
They were able to help Kim Soo-ok, whose qualifications were not that outstanding in the entire world competition, overcome all obstacles and stay until now, thanks to their song selection and design.
For Zhou Yiyang, it is precisely because of people like them that the World Championship becomes so interesting.
Otherwise, Moonlight Girl would be the only one that stands out, and the plot would be overwhelming throughout. Except for the fans, everyone would get tired of it after a while.
When Wen Yuan heard this song backstage, she knew that Jin Xiuyu had taken out her trump card.
"It's this song!" Wang Xingrui felt a physical pain in her heart when she heard the prelude. "I remember watching this show with my mom before, and it was so outrageous."
Su Yin, standing by, hummed and continued, "Actually, my mom has watched this show too. I was still in junior high when it aired! After finishing my homework, I watched it with her. I thought the plot was so stupid at the time, but she cried her eyes out."
"Who isn't!" Tang Yue smiled. "This song was incredibly popular to begin with. It went viral. And I still remember the plot. The amnesia, the leukemia, the baby being switched, and the twin brothers... Thinking about it now, I can't imagine how I could have continued watching it."
"I haven't seen it, but my mom and many of my teachers have. This drama was broadcast on China Channel 8 at the time, and it became incredibly popular."
"Kim Soo-ok was really smart in choosing this song. If she sings it now, believe it or not, many people in our country will sing along."
"But I won't vote for her." Su Yin said seriously: "It's basically unrealistic for her to get votes from us. But I don't think she has that idea either."
"The best thing for Kim Soo-ok is that she can spark nostalgia in non-competition countries. From that perspective, there's a lot of hope."
"Hey, Sister Wen Yuan, come on!" Wang Xingrui prayed silently, "I don't know what her second song will be. I hope it's on the same level as 'Little River Flowing Water'."
Lin Xuan'er immediately laughed, "Ruirui, aren't your expectations too high? I'm lucky to have heard a performance of 'Little River Flowing Water' just once today, and you even want Sister Wen Yuan to perform it again."
"I think Sister Wen Yuan will definitely explode tonight." Wang Xingrui said seriously: "I still want to have a peak showdown with her!"
At this time, Luo Chen, Ling Hu and a few others were listening to music while promoting the two groups of Chinese contestants.
Looking at their extremely serious expressions, Zhou Yiyang was a little moved.
"If Wen Yuan knew you did this, she would definitely be very happy. She should have seen it by now."
"It's not that we don't like Jin Xiuyu," Ling Hu said softly, "If we're going by strength, Sister Wen Yuan deserves to advance. As for popularity, Jin Xiuyu has recruited people, so we can recruit people too. It's still fair competition for everyone."
"But her song choice this time was still very tricky." Luo Chen bit his lip, revealing a helpless expression: "This song is really popular among the people. It can be regarded as the most popular song exported by Goryeo that year."
"That's true," Zhou Yiyang said lightly, "but if we can all win, wouldn't that make it more meaningful? As for losing, I don't think it's shameful to lose to a song of this caliber."
Luo Chen laughed heartily after hearing this: "Brother Yang, you really understand what three-dimensional defense is. Whether you win or lose, you have a reason."
At this time, Helian Bei said:
"You all are talking about how great this song is, and I know that. But didn't you notice that Jin Xiuyu was having a hard time singing it?"
"In the original version, this song is a particularly tragic and poignant one, making it very difficult to sing. Kim Soo-ok's voice is naturally weak, and coupled with her lack of technique, her voice is shaky."
"For the most memorable chorus, Kim Soo-ok even chose to lower the key so she could perform it completely. But the final result was very mediocre."
Zhou Yiyang nodded and glanced at Luo Chen and Ling Hu. "Look, why can others be judges, but you can't? Jin Xiuyu's weakness is still her singing skills."
“When it comes to fast songs, the audience usually doesn’t pay much attention because of the dancing and gorgeous stage effects.”
"But now it's just pure singing, and her shortcomings will be easily exposed."
"It will depend on whether the audience cares more about the nostalgia or the effect they hear."
Guan Fei glanced at the comments and found that most of them were the latter.
"Jin Xiuyu has failed, right? My mom said it's not as good as the original singer."
"I always thought that crying voice was something every Korean singer could do. Now that I've heard Kim Soo-ok's singing, I realize there are differences."
"I have to say, Jin Xiuyu's singing of this song is completely inferior to the previous one. If it weren't for the sentimentality, this performance would have almost no highlights."
"So, not everyone who comes from a girl group can carry a concert on their own like Ruirui and Xuan'er. People like Jin Xiuyu are the norm for idols."
"The song choice was a huge mistake. Although it's very sentimental, Jin Xiuyu can't pull it off! I hope Wen Yuan can win!"
"It's still quite a stretch for Wen Yuan to win. Although everyone is saying her singing of this song isn't that great, many people actually voted as soon as the melody came out."
"Now let's see if Wen Yuan can continue to perform exceptionally well and stay in the dark all the way!"
"As for the Moonlight Girls, the four of them are definitely not in a hurry at all. I even suspect that each song they perform tonight will be better than the last."
By the time Jin Xiuyu finished singing, Wen Yuan had also stood up.
She walked out backstage wearing her new performance costume.
After Jin Xiuyu stepped down, he felt much more relaxed.
No matter how her performance was, she had already done her job.
As for the results, let’s wait and see!
