Chapter 145 How to Lose? (Two in One)
After Xu Dongqing finished singing, the voting time also ended, and the audience who liked Xu Dongqing in front of the screen had already cast their precious votes.

Su Qing walked slowly onto the stage, holding up her skirt, and announced the final result: 2.56 million votes.

Since this is the first contestant to appear and there is no comparison, it is not clear whether this number of votes is high or low, but anyway, if we use the votes from last season's finals as a reference, it is considered a pretty good number of votes.

However, the ratings of the third season and the number of people watching the live broadcast are obviously much higher than those of the second season, and the number of people participating in the voting will definitely be higher. No one knows how many votes this season will have, so the level of votes in this season depends on the performance of other singers.

In short, Xu Dongqing is currently ranked first.

The next singer to perform was Song Jie. The other singers backstage high-fived Song Jie and cheered her on.

In the corridor leading to the backstage, they happened to meet Xu Dongqing returning from the stage. Xu Dongqing smiled and high-fived Song Jie.

Song Jie complained: "Teacher Xu, you are really a hidden talent. You came here to win the championship from the beginning, right?"

"How dare you say you don't have this idea, hahaha." Xu Dongqing laughed.

Among the singers who really come to the finals, who doesn’t want to win the championship?

No matter what, they are all veteran musicians in the music industry. They all have their own pride. How could they really be willing to be a supporting role for others?

Song Jie was speechless. After all, she also wanted to win the championship. "It's just that we were deceived so badly. Now I am under great pressure again."

"It's none of my business. I said before that it's best to be the first to go on stage. It doesn't matter if he fights like a god after that. It's over anyway. There's no need to waste time on himself."

"You are done, and you put all the pressure on me."

"Hahaha, pressure can be turned into motivation. You are a veteran in our program and I am at most a newcomer. What am I?"

"Yes, I, an old man, am here to run with you newcomers." Song Jie joked.

At this time, the host Su Qing on the stage also shouted loudly: "Please welcome our second singer, our old acquaintance, Teacher Song Jie!"

Soon, with cheers and beautiful lighting effects, Song Jie appeared slowly in front of the audience in a gorgeous red pomegranate skirt, looking luxurious and dazzling, and at the same time the prelude of music sounded.

The audience is still immersed in the exciting rock atmosphere, but Song Jie's outfit still makes everyone's eyes light up.

"Song Jie is so beautiful in this outfit."

"goddess!"

"Song Jie really suits my taste. She looks much better than An Ruo."

"Then you'd better go wash your eyes."

"Why, you don't allow others to have different aesthetics?"

Soon the prelude ended, and Song Jie danced and raised the microphone.

She was singing one of her famous masterpieces, which was very popular in the country at that time. It can be said to be a must-order song in KTV. It is very difficult to sing. Many people regard the ability to sing this song for a long time without making any mistakes as the criterion of whether the singing is good or not.

It can be said that every audience member is familiar with this song, and everyone can hum along, but as they hum, they soon realize that something is wrong.

Why does Song Jie's singing style seem a little strange this time?

There is obviously something wrong with the rhythm of the whole song.

Originally, this was a song with a slow and heavy rhythm, describing the sadness and pain of a couple who had been together for many years breaking up. However, the rhythm of Song Jie's singing on the spot was obviously a bit brisk.

what happened?

Was it a mistake?
Mistakes in the finals are a big deal.

No, if it was a mistake, it would be impossible for the accompaniment music to be wrong as well. Moreover, many audience members who sang along carefully discovered that several lines of the lyrics did not match.

They almost thought they had remembered the lyrics wrong.

Only by continuing to listen did the audience finally understand...

Song Jie did this on purpose!

She deliberately rewrote her own song!

Especially when it comes to the chorus part, the hysterical cry in the original song accuses the other party of being cold-hearted and contains the emotion of reluctance to give up the relationship and the hope of being retained by the other party. However, this time the style is changed. The emotion is no longer depressed and deep, but positive, indicating that one should leave freely and optimistically. There is no need to linger on the past, and the future will be better!

The tone of the whole song is completely opposite to the original song, but it doesn't feel out of place at all.

“Oh my god, is this still the original song?”

"I changed my own famous song by myself. What an awesome sister!"

"Don't mention it, the changes are surprisingly good!"

"listen well!"

The singers backstage also nodded repeatedly.

"She says I'm a hidden talent, but isn't she the same way?" Xu Dongqing sat on the sofa, listening to Song Jie's singing and nodding his head.

"Song Jie is very bold to change her own famous song!" Lin Youxi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

You have to know that the reason why a famous song is a famous song is that the audience has a high degree of acceptance of the song. Even if you are the original singer, the audience may not be willing to accept it if you re-adapt it.

After all, preconceived impressions are very profound. If you want to amaze the audience, the adapted song must be better than the original.

If there is something wrong with the adaptation, the audience will be more critical.

That’s why Lin Youxi said that Song Jie’s operation was very bold. It was an operation that would fail if one was not careful. It was completely a gamble.

"But at the moment, the adaptation seems to be very good, and the artistic conception of the lyrics is better than the original, and the overall style is more positive." Jiang Xinyan listened to Song Jie's song and felt that the adaptation was very good and was not inferior to the original song at all.

"It depends on whether the audience can accept it." Luo Yu looked at the screen.

When Song Jie finished her song with a loud voice on the stage, the whole audience burst into applause.

"As expected of Song Jie, she is still very strong!"

"She always entered the resurrection match before, but I underestimated her."

"Of course. After all, she is a woman who is said to be expected to become the new generation of diva. How can she be without some strength?"

"Aren't there a lot of people in the entertainment industry with this title? But this performance was indeed strong."

"It's so beautiful. The original song was already beautiful enough, and this revision is even better."

"It's the same song but they sing it in opposite styles. I love it!"

"Wow, I cried when I heard this. How did Song Jie know that I just gave a gift to my goddess and got rejected? She specially changed this song to comfort me. She has me in her heart!"

"Wake up, this song is about a couple breaking up, not a dog getting rejected."

"Hahaha, don't be sad."

"Stop laughing and vote for Song Jie!"

"Yes, vote quickly. I'm going to take all my roommates' phones and let Song Jie vote!"

As the second round of voting ended, Su Qing came on stage to announce the final voting results: 3.06 million votes!

A full 500,000 votes higher than Xu Dongqing! Obviously, Song Jie's bold change this time paid off.

In the backstage, Xu Dongqing sat helplessly on the sofa with an expression that said "what can I say".

Once Song Jie's vote count came out, it meant that he had no chance of winning the championship.

There was really no pressure for the first appearance, so I sent it to you directly.

His original rock music received very good live responses, so why are the votes so low?
All I can say is that the rock style has a relatively limited audience. Those who like it really like it, but those who don’t like it just think it’s noisy.

Not all audiences can accept the rock style, no matter how well you sing rock.

Moreover, Xu Dongqing's popularity was originally the lowest in the show, as can be seen from previous voting, so it is not surprising that his votes were lower than Song Jie's.

Chu Wanqing in the audience was also very excited: "The quality of the songs in the finals is so high! Oh my God!"

"It's obviously a level higher than the exhibition match. As expected, no one in the exhibition match played to their full potential." Chu Mingtao nodded in agreement. It turned out to be the right decision to come to the scene. The scene was much more shocking than watching the live broadcast on the computer.

"This is the level that the finals should have." Chu Ze also applauded.

I have to say that the level of singers in this world is very high. He is a little worried about Xia Anruo. This final is really not comparable to the level of the previous few episodes.

Compared with the performance in the finals, the previous episodes felt a bit like playing house.

The gap is a bit big.

These singers are big names in the music industry after all. When they really show their talents, no one can underestimate them.

It was Luo Yu's turn to perform next. He shook hands with the singers backstage and then walked out.

As soon as his deep and magnetic voice began to sing, the audience screamed.

Original song!
Another original song!

The first one by Xu Dongqing was an original song, Song Jie rewrote her own song which could barely be considered a semi-original song, and now Luo Yu has another original song...

Is the final going to become an original song showdown?
"Okay, everyone said they were here to serve as a foil, but it turned out they all secretly prepared such powerful trump cards." Xu Dongqing pointed at everyone present.

"Has Sister Xinyan also prepared an original song?" Xia Anruo asked.

Jiang Xinyan just smiled and said nothing.

"Sure enough, they all came prepared. They praised me in various ways before, and they are all very bad!" Lin Youxi smiled when he saw this.

"Oh, we're just afraid of losing too badly. I don't believe that the song Sister Youxi prepared is worse than ours." Song Jie said embarrassedly with a smile.

"It seems that I am the one in danger." Xia Anruo smiled bitterly.

Her advantage is her original songs, but now other singers have also started to create original songs, so her advantage is gone.

"Anruo, you are our top seed for the championship. You are so popular, how can we compare to you?" Song Jie came close to Xia Anruo and said with a smile.

Luo Yu's final vote count was 2.98 million, failing to surpass Song Jie and ranking second.

Although Luo Yu's original song is great and an absolute masterpiece, unfortunately he made a mistake when singing the chorus. He didn't sing the high notes steadily and his voice broke. Although he managed to make up for it in time, it still affected the number of votes.

There is no way around it, this is how a battle between masters works, one wrong move and the whole game is lost.

If you lose one move, you’re gone. I’ll use a series of moves to take you away.

Audiences who like this song and Luo Yu’s fans all feel sorry for Luo Yu.

Song Jie in the backstage was obviously relieved when she saw the result. At least she had secured first place for the time being.

If Luo Yu had performed perfectly this time, she might have really been able to go down. It was also luck.

Of course, this luck only lasted until Jiang Xinyan came on the court.

Jiang Xinyan came on stage and sang a fine love song that raked in more than 3.7 million votes, successfully knocking Song Jie from first to second place with a huge vote difference.

"Ahhh, this old man, he tricked me into saying I would be doomed in the finals two days ago and asked me to show mercy." Song Jie was jumping angrily in the backstage.

There is the sixth child!

"Backstabbed by a good sister, hahaha." Xu Dongqing gloated.

When you feel comfortable, you will come down.

"It's okay. Sister Youxi will be on stage next. You have to come down even if you haven't been backstabbed." Luo Yu was a little regretful about his previous mistake, but he felt relieved when he saw Jiang Xinyan's number of votes.

Even if I performed perfectly, I didn’t think I would be able to get so many votes. Anyway, I couldn’t win the championship, so it didn’t matter.

"Then at least I can stay in the first place for one more round, and it will look nice." Song Jie muttered.

As Jiang Xinyan left the stage, everyone at the scene held their breath, because they knew that the real climax of the final had finally arrived.

Lin Youxi and An Ruo, the top two favorites to win the official vote, can be said to be the key to this final in the hearts of fans of the show "Who is the King of Singers".

Most people came to watch the battle between these two kings, the strongest showdown. The previous singers were just appetizers before the main dinner, and now the main dinner is finally about to begin.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Su Qing also announced excitedly: "Next, please welcome our much-anticipated queen of the generation - Lin Youxi! Sister Youxi will make a shining appearance!"

The next moment, most of the lights in the venue went out, and the stage was lit up with gorgeous lights. Lin Youxi, wearing an antique cheongsam, slowly walked into the stage, looking dignified, classical and elegant.

The audience burst into cheers:
"I'm coming!"

"Queen Lin is wearing ancient costumes. What song is she going to sing?"

"Do I need to think about it? It must be an ancient style song!"

"Even though Lin Youxi is over 50, he still looks pretty good in this ancient costume."

"Of course, Sister Youxi was also a beautiful singer when she was young."

"I think Queen Lin still has her charm now."

"My goodness, you are really hungry."

After a while, a soft zither sounded, followed by the sound of erhu, flute, and piano, alternating in the ears...

Lin Youxi opened his mouth slowly, his voice was ethereal and distant, his unique voice was soft and silky, with a strong ancient style.

It’s also original, a new song!

The whole place fell silent instantly, and the audience closed their eyes and listened quietly in ecstasy.

Ancient style songs and classical melodies are the unique romance of traditional Chinese music. Simple instruments can produce beautiful notes without a lot of messy and complicated accompaniment.

The whole song made the audience feel as if they were immersed in the ancient water town of Jiangnan. There was a drizzle on the streets. Walking on the bluestone road, looking at the flowing water under the small bridge, a girl on the bridge was holding an umbrella and looking back with a sweet smile.

The artistic conception is profound and the beauty is antique.

Great person, great song, even better lyrics!
Even though the song was only halfway through, the audience already knew what was going on...

Amazing!
As soon as this song came out, the audience couldn’t imagine how Lin Youxi could lose.
