The legend of rebirth

Chapter 19 The Phantom
"How could this happen!" Not only Wang Nicole exclaimed, but the rest of the audience couldn't believe it, and there was a buzz of discussion in the studio.

The first set of duels was Song Yan vs. Chu Mo'er. Ye Luo couldn't confirm whether this situation was deliberately arranged by the organizer or randomly selected, and he didn't think much about it, because in his opinion, Song Yan was Sooner or later, Chu Mo'er will meet an opponent on a narrow road. It is better to meet early than late.

"We invited Song Yan to come on stage first! The song she chose tonight is "Phantom"."

As soon as Wang Xiao's name was announced, Ye Luo knew that Song Yan was going to be serious tonight.

The song "Phantom" is the early representative work of Deng Qi, the popular queen in China. The lyrics, music, and arrangement are all made by the top masters in the music world, and it is a recognized classic.

This song brought Deng Qi one step closer to his career and became the first sister of the pop music scene in the past ten years.

The chorus part of this song, in order to highlight the artistic conception of "Phantom", not only has a super high pitch, but also has a mysterious and changeable tune, which is very difficult to sing.

Deng Qi sang, while maintaining the popular singing style, he also incorporated the technique of coloratura soprano, and the timbre was bright and clear without losing gorgeousness.

Once this song came out, Deng Qi was once pushed to the same position as Sharon Quinn, the soprano queen in Europe and America.

It's a pity that not long after this song was released, Deng Qi's vocal cords were damaged due to excessive fatigue, and he could no longer reach the level of this song when it was recorded, so the subsequent concert versions are all down-tuned versions.

But even the lowered version of "Phantom" is enough to keep Deng Qi standing in the Chinese pop music scene for ten years, and "Phantom" must be the finale of all her concerts.

Song Yan played this song in the second round of the selection competition, it is really too strong!

Ye Luo's only question now is whether Song Yan is about to sing "Phantom" in the original key, or "Phantom" in a lower key.

With the prelude together, Ye Luo heard the girls around him breathe a sigh of relief.

They are all students of the vocal music department, so they naturally have some hearing ability.

After all, Song Yan wasn't that aggressive, she used the down-keyed version of the accompaniment.But even if it is a down-key version, daring to sing it live is enough to amaze everyone.

Ye Luo was at an angle where he could see the faces of the three judges. Ye Luo found that whether it was the old Jianghu Sha Fuhai or the youngest Meng Han, the expressions on their faces were somewhat shocked.

Since the song "Phantom" is so classic, in the past ten years, there will be no shortage of female singers who cover it. Of course, what they cover is also a down-key version, and no one dares to challenge the original key.

But these cover songs, even if the pitch is raised, the quality of the timbre is far inferior to Deng Qi's concert version, let alone the original record version.The treble will appear very harsh and unpleasant, and it will not be able to sing that kind of mysterious artistic conception.

Song Yan had the courage to compete with this song, and it was performed under the PK competition system, which made the three judges a little unbelievable. At the same time, they were also worried that Song Yan would follow in the footsteps of those cover singers.

"The night is falling, the moonlight is falling..." Ye Luo could hear the lyrics of the verse together, and Song Yan's bass was different from her audition time.

During the audition, Song Yan used the kind of bass with a strong sense of friction, but at this time, Song Yan's bass was full of chest resonance, the words were not crisp, but very soft, creating a lazy feeling.

On the stands, today Song Yan is wearing a black evening dress, wearing a white shawl, her white cheeks make her lips red like blood, she is wearing black lady gloves, and she gently pinches Mike across her mouth with two fingers. By the side, with a lazy expression, her beautiful eyes are half-opened and half-closed.

Song Yan was like a lady who went out late at night. She just woke up, washed and dressed, and went to a dance.

Song Yan had a trait that surprised Ye Luo.

She usually does her own way, with the image of an iceberg beauty, as if no one can impose anything on her.

But as soon as she got on stage and started to sing, she was able to integrate into the artistic conception of the song very well, got along well with the music, and knew each other very well.For music, she can change her temperament.

She said she has no friends, perhaps, music is her only friend.

Song Yan's performance in the verse of "Phantom" was perfect, and the judges on stage and the audience were all mesmerized by it.Even Ye Luo was filled with thoughts by this song.

Soon, the chorus of "Phantom" came: "A thousand gold buys a drunk, the dance floor wine is like water, shadows are indistinct, and people are like ghosts. Singing songs are heartbreaking, waking up from a dream, haggard, deserted, and people are like ghosts."

Song Yan adopted a half-false tone mixing technique for the continuous circuitous high-pitched sound, the sound was accurately grasped, and the key was easily transferred. It sounded ethereal and well done, but it was not as gorgeous as Deng Qi's original singing , missing some hearty pleasure.

"Fortunately..." Wang Nicole sighed beside Ye Luo, "Although it's good, if that's the case, Mo'er still has a chance."

"This is just the first chorus." Ye Luo didn't relax in the slightest, as he spoke, he glanced at the three judges on stage.

After listening to the first paragraph, the three judges still had expressions of anticipation on their faces. It seemed that their thoughts were the same as Ye Luo's.

The first chorus, in the final analysis, is just the foreshadowing of the final act.

Song Yan's singing has a strong layout ability, which can be seen from the fact that it took a full 30 seconds to appear in the first round.The judges are all professionals, so they naturally have expectations in this regard.

After the first chorus, Song Yan started to enter the second verse.

"No." Ye Luo suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Wang Nicole asked quickly.

"Listen carefully." Ye Luo looked serious.

"...It seems that the tone is different from the original one."

"That's right, Song Yan's tune has been raised, and now it's the original tune." Ye Luo said in a deep voice.

"My God, she wants to try the original tune of "Phantom"?" Zhang Jiaqi exclaimed.

Under the strong sound of the scene, Zhang Jiaqi's exclamation was inaudible. Song Yan's second verse was completed amidst the amazement of everyone. There was not a single flaw, and it was still so perfect.

The second chorus begins!

The same libretto was raised in a different tune, and the way Song Yan chose to handle it was no longer a falsetto mixed voice!

The singing sound like an oriole in the empty valley suddenly sounded in the entire studio.

The intonation is extremely high, but it is bright and clear, and the continuous and rapid modulation is precise and natural. When Ye Luo heard it, the hairs on his whole body exploded.

It's like going to a sauna on a hot day, and then soaking in the water, every hair on the body is cheering, and the whole body feels like being electrocuted.

This kind of pleasure has nothing to do with personal aesthetics, it is completely a physiological stress response.

After being shocked severely, Ye Luo suddenly realized: This is not the technique of coloratura soprano, Song Yan's handling method is different from Deng Qi's!
After all, the coloratura soprano is bel canto. Although it is gorgeous and moving, it is somewhat unacceptable in the whole popular song.Even if Deng Qi uses an improved coloratura, there will always be a little sense of disobedience.

Song Yan's handling today was to force it up with a pharyngeal voice.

With the hard top of the throat, the high-pitched tone of this song is so dense, the requirements for the breath are too strict, even for a famous professional singer, it will be difficult to control.But Song Yan insisted on using her powerful treble ability to complete it flawlessly.

The effect Song Yan completed, judging from the scene, is not only the same as Deng Qi's ten years ago, but even faintly surpassed it!

Really worthy of being the queen of high notes!

Ye Luo's judgment was quickly confirmed.

After Song Yan sang the song, everyone in the studio, including the three judges, stood up and applauded, and the studio was erupting!
Beside Ye Luo, five beauties from the support team looked desperate.

"Chu Mo'er, please!" Wang Xiao's announcement was very tight.

"Mo'er has no chance..." Wang Nicole's eyes filled with tears.

Ye Luo also sighed. He couldn't think of any reason to refute Wang Nicole's judgment.
