Chapter 75: That guy's pretty hot.
"Next, you will witness the birth of this season's 'The Voice of China,' the ultimate voice of the year. Who will represent China on the world stage of music? Who could it be?"
Hua Shao scanned the faces of everyone present and took out a Tipscard.
"The first round will be the mentor-assisted singing session, where the four mentors will sing for each contestant one by one. After that, the contestants will sing solo. After the performances, the judges will vote on the performances by a professional judging panel, a media judging panel, and a public judging panel."
After Hua Shao finished reading the rules, the singing segment began, with A-mei's group taking the stage first.
A-mei and Mushroom Head brought us a song called "After the Facts Are Over," which is her tribute to her mentor, Chang Yu-sheng.
A-mei met her mentor Chang Yu-sheng when she was 23, and Mushroom Head is also 23 this year, which is quite a good omen.
The mushroom-head hairstyle remains unchanged, which has left a mark on the audience's minds: this mushroom sings well.
He also has a fan base, and his performance of "Take Advantage of the Early Time" on his debut stage left a good impression on the audience.
However, compared to Li Mo, this is still far from enough.
"You braved the stars and moon, you braved the ice and snow, you traversed mountains and fields, and came into my heart. You seem to be with me for a hundred years, yet also so close at hand. Only after filling my heart did I belatedly realize..."
He sang with great passion, and the audience and contestants in the audience were very supportive, swaying along to the melody.
"Your tolerance and compassion enabled me to soar high, yet you withdrew after achieving your goals. I didn't even have time to express my gratitude before you left without saying goodbye, and only then did I realize what had happened."
Finally, the voice faded slowly, and applause broke out.
The two voices complement each other well and are both very attractive.
The two also contributed their first song to the stage.
Amidst applause, A-mei excitedly gave Mushroom Head a passionate kiss, which made Mushroom Head shyly wipe his mushroom-shaped hair.
After the performance, the feedback from the audience was actually quite good, and the two then walked off the stage with satisfaction.
Mushroom Head felt he was in pretty good form today. As for whether he could win that damn championship?
He could only say it was very likely!
And judging from the audience's reaction, it was pretty good!
Next up was Wang Feng and Zhang Hengyuan's performance of "If the Wind Stops Blowing." Actually, these two artists have a fairly consistent style.
That's pretty hot!
However, Li Mo personally felt that Zhang Hengyuan's strength was not as great as Wang Feng's. Of course, this did not mean that Zhang Hengyuan was weak, but that Wang Feng was too strong.
His signature outfits combined with his unique voice.
Wang Feng can be considered one of the people who has reached the pinnacle in his field.
Better than Ah Kun!
The feedback for this song was significantly more enthusiastic than the previous one, and the two performances set a great tone for the championship battle.
This warmed up the atmosphere on stage, and the audience was noticeably more enthusiastic than at the beginning.
In fact, Li Qi is quite strong, and he was in good form today. It's just that the nostalgia-driven fighting style of "After the Fact" doesn't always work well.
At least today, the audience at the scene was clearly not so easily swayed by nostalgia.
The third to perform were Yingzi and Xuanxuan. The girl was clearly a bit tense. Although Yingzi was there to help her relax from time to time, her voice still trembled a little when she went on stage.
"Born Imperfect" is a song they performed. It's a very lively and cheerful song, but Xuanxuan's state...
There's no way around it, this kind of song is too dependent on the singer's luck.
It has to be fun and get the whole audience jumping along. If the singer is tense, it can easily become awkward.
Moreover, a certain amount of experience is required. Yingzi did well in this regard, but compared to Xuanxuan next to her, the difference between the two was obvious.
This resulted in one plus one not being greater than two, and even being slightly less!
But when it comes to typhoons, the one that left the deepest impression on Li Mo was Deng Chao.
On the night Yu Quan won the championship on "Singer", Deng Chao's guest performance was truly amazing.
Not only was the singing fine, but the typhoon was also stable and active.
If this were a random passerby, they would never guess he was a guest performer; they would think he was there to hold a concert.
Yu Quan, on the contrary, became the supporting cast, giving him the center position on the stage.
Of course, this lively enthusiasm will also be conveyed to the audience, bringing very good results.
Back to Xuanxuan, sure enough, she made serious mistakes with the lyrics and sang off-key later on, although she managed to recover.
There were no serious stage accidents, but the poor start was a huge blow to morale.
After enduring the first three rounds, it was finally Li Mo's turn to appear.
After tidying up his makeup and ensuring that all equipment, including the microphone and in-ear monitor, was in good working order backstage, Harlem led Li Mo onto the stage.
"As everyone knows, Li Mo once said that he would only sing original songs on this stage, and the song we're about to bring you is also an original song, except this time it's my original!" Harlem put his arm around Li Mo's shoulder and enthusiastically explained to the audience.
Then Li Mo picked up the microphone and continued, "This time it's not folk music; it's a new attempt for me!"
The two exchanged a knowing smile, said nothing more, and then the prelude music suddenly began.
The beautiful piano music reached the ears of everyone present.
"The moonlight can't be turned off, there's nowhere to hide, only loneliness never closes. This little tavern's glass window across the street has witnessed countless gatherings and partings, joys and sorrows."
Harlem is already very familiar with this song, after all, it is the work he claims to have poured his heart and soul into.
So it's a safe bet to entrust him with the opening part, and then the camera cuts to Li Mo slowly opening his mouth.
"The night is like an unfathomable heart, an unfillable desolation. It's better not to say anything, because I haven't forgotten. There's always an empty seat beside me."
Then the song started to rise in key.
"What's the point of loving passionately and intensely? It ignited my passion, but it also burned me..."
"So what if we go to fight fiercely? Even if we're covered in wounds, we won't make a fuss..."
The master and apprentice began to adjust each other's postures, and to Harlin's surprise, Li Mo's performance this time was flawless.
It's worth noting that during rehearsals, Li Mo's high notes were always unstable, and singing skills had always been his weakness.
But on this stage today, he seems to have suddenly evolved.
The high notes were not only stable but also very pleasant to hear, showcasing Li Mo's voice to its fullest potential.
Indeed, trusting Li Mo was the right choice.
The song became more vivid, and Li Mo sang it very well, completely exceeding Harlem's expectations.
"A cactus with thorns, a double bed I couldn't sleep in, and thankfully I hadn't forgotten it all; there was always an empty spot next to me..."
During the climax, Harlem wasn't known for his physical prowess, and given his age, the climax was somewhat dry.
But he wasn't worried because of Li Mo's presence.
Seeing this, Li Mo also took over the banner and stood by to support him. In fact, the more the event escalated, the more outstanding Li Mo's performance became.
With the accompanying lights and music, Li Mo conveyed the passion expressed in this song to everyone's hearts.
