Chapter 208: Note
The representative of Chinese singers is Ding Xin, while the representative of foreign singers is Shantimo.
The two walked out of their respective preparation rooms, and accompanied by their music partners, came to the interactive host Xiao Shen, chatting and laughing.
"Before we officially start the lottery process, I would like to ask the two representatives a small question."
Xiao Shen had a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Ding Xin and Shantimo and asked, "From being teammates who used to get along peacefully to being rivals who are about to fight each other, do you have any special feelings?"
Ding Xin was the first to answer this question. She pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, I just feel a little strange, but also a little special. It's hard to describe. Maybe it's just my competitive spirit that's coming."
Hearing what she said, many netizens in the live broadcast room laughed out loud.
[You are so competitive now. Why didn’t I see you being so competitive in all the episodes before?]
[Is it really appropriate to let Ding Xin be the representative of Chinese singers? I am really afraid that she will lead the Chinese singers to extinction! ]
[Not to the extent that]
[Please be merciful and give this fifty-year-old lady some face!]
[Face is earned by oneself, not given by others]
Shantimo followed Ding Xin's answer: "This sudden change in the competition format is a very novel experience. I am already looking forward to tonight's game."
At this point, Shantimo raised an eyebrow at Ding Xin: "Ding Xin, are you ready? Tonight we will definitely beat all five of you Chinese singers one by one!"
Hearing Shantimo's words, Ding Xin responded without hesitation: "Who is afraid of who? If the competition really starts, who knows who will win?"
Seeing the two people's state, the interactive host Xiao Shen also said at the right time: "The game hasn't even started yet, and the tension is already strong!
Good! In that case, let’s officially enter the lottery phase!”
Xiao Shen held a small square box in her hand. She looked at Ding Xin and Shantimo and asked, "There are two colored balls in the box, red and blue. If you draw a blue ball, you will get the priority to challenge. You can send out singers first and challenge the designated opponent.
There is only one chance, who will draw the prize?"
Ding Xin smiled and said to Shantimo, "Customers are given priority, you take the lottery."
"Thank you!"
Shantimo did not let Ding Xin down. She reached into the square box and took out a small blue ball.
“Congratulations to the foreign singer camp led by Shantimo for getting the priority selection right! Next, please ask the two representatives to return to the preparation room of your respective camps. You have five minutes to discuss the next appearance with the members!
come on! "
As soon as Xiao Shen finished speaking, Ding Xin and Shantimo returned to the preparation room in a rage.
"I didn't get the priority to challenge, I'm sorry everyone."
Ding Xin said to the Chinese singers in the preparation room.
She actually cares about this very much. After all, getting the right of first choice is equivalent to getting the initiative.
But now the initiative is in the hands of the opponent, which makes Ding Xin feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's just a matter of choice. After the first round, it will be our turn. It's just a matter of order."
Liao Bei waved his hand, signaling Ding Xin not to blame herself too much.
"That's right! It doesn't matter who goes first or last. Even if you get the priority choice, you don't have much advantage. After all, after four rounds, you don't have to choose your opponent in the last round."
Suning also explained at this moment that as the champion of "The Voice of China 2024" last week, he was particularly active tonight.
"So who will be our first singer tonight?"
Su Ning touched his chin with interest, and his eyes began to scan everyone, finally landing on Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.
Noticing his look, Bai Xingjian grinned and said, "I feel it is most likely to be Brother Su Ning and Sister Qiao Xi. After all, you were the first last week. If that female singer Jessica is going to be the first to appear, her challenger is most likely you guys."
As soon as Bai Xingjian said this, everyone around him looked at him and nodded in approval.
Gu Zetao, who was sitting aside, was looking at Fenghuang Yufei, the birds and the fish with curiosity.
Why do I feel like there's something weird between these two combinations?
Five minutes passed quickly.
Studio scene.
"Who will be the first singer to perform tonight? And who will be his challenger?
Next, let us wait and see!"
At the edge of the stage, host He Ling spoke loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he left the stage and the lights gradually dimmed.
In the stage passage, a black figure gradually emerged.
At the same time, various names began to appear in the barrage of the live broadcast room.
[Shantimo! Shantimo!]
[Vanshia, Vanshia!]
[Jessica Jessica!]
[Gu Zetao Gu Zetao! ]
[Birds and fish!]
[Phoenix is flying!]
[The first singer to appear is a foreign singer. How can someone post random comments without even understanding the rules?]
[No need to say, it’s definitely Shantimo! As the first in the first episode of “The Voice 2024”, she will definitely be the first to appear in this special competition system! ]
[That makes sense! But... looking at this sexy and tall figure, it's definitely not Shantimo or Vanxia, but Jessica!]
Jessica, wearing a white off-shoulder evening gown, slowly walked out from the stage aisle.
She was the first singer to perform tonight, and she also aroused cheers from the audience.
The cheers from the audience seemed to be about to boil over, and the live broadcast room was in an uproar.
As the youngest female singer in history to win a Grammy Award, Jessica, who is only 22 years old this year, has countless fans around the world.
Among her fan base, in addition to music fans, there are also many fans who love her beauty and figure.
Although she is only 22 years old, Jessica can be said to be a plus version of Vanxia.
With a height of 1 meters, her body proportions are perfect.
Her cascading blonde hair falls on her round yet bony shoulders. The white off-shoulder evening dress makes her fair skin look even more crystal clear. The slim fit also outlines her slender waist and plump chest, showing just the right amount of fullness and temptation.
The evening gown just reached her thighs, revealing a pair of long legs that looked like those of a supermodel.
Perhaps due to regular exercise, Jessica's calf muscles are firm and elastic, her ankles are slender and delicate, and a pair of white high-heeled sandals make her look like she is walking on clouds, light and full of charm.
Countless men and women in the audience could no longer control themselves and screamed.
"So beautiful! So hot!"
"No wonder Jessica is a model! With this figure, it would be a complete waste if she didn't become a model, okay?"
"These legs...are longer than my life!"
"She is simply the sexiest singer I have ever seen on the stage of "The Voice 2024"! No doubt about it!"
"DuangDuangDuang~"
The audience in the auditorium was talking about it, and the production crew was very considerate and gave Jessica a full-body close-up.
Looking at the live broadcast on the screen, countless LSPS have begun to get excited.
[Tonight’s live broadcast ends here!]
[It's over! My browser opened itself out of control!]
[You still need a browser when you have this screen? Can you guys do it?]
[Can Grasshopper not be so smelly? The comments are disgusting!]
……
"So who will Jessica choose as her opponent tonight?" Ding Xin asked with interest in the preparation room.
Liao Bei glanced at Su Ning and Qiao Xi and smiled, "Who else could it be? Most likely it's our champion from last week. After all, which young person nowadays isn't arrogant?"
When he got to this point, Liao Bei turned his gaze to Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi and continued:
"If I remember correctly, when you two first came to this show, the opponent you chose was the number one from the previous week, right?"
Bai Xingjian smiled and nodded: "That's right."
"See, that's what I told you!"
Liao Bei smiled and spread his hands, as if to say "what I said is right".
Ding Xin sneered and rolled her eyes at him: "What if others don't play by the rules?"
Suning opened his mouth, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Ding Xin and Liao Bei were having a great time chatting, and he really couldn't get a word in.
Noticing his state, Qiao Xi couldn't help but smile.
She didn't care who Jessica would choose as her opponent. After all, she would deal with it as it came. Although this girl was powerful, they, the birds and fish, were not soft persimmons.
At this moment, Jessica, who was standing safely in the center of the stage, also revealed her choice of opponent:
"Birds and fish."
What’s surprising is that Jessica pronounced the four words “birds and fish” very clearly and in a very standard way.
[Birds and fish? This girl is so brave!]
[You speak Chinese well! Have you ever considered settling down here and finding a local boyfriend?]
[Love it! I love this girl! I can’t find any flaws in her at all!]
[There is a downside, though, and that is that Jessica is not mine!]
Many domestic audiences who got to know Jessica for the first time instantly had a much higher favorability towards her.
Su Caitao, who was broadcasting live, couldn't help but be amazed: "This girl is amazing! Did she learn Chinese specially to be on this show? She speaks so fluently!"
Although she is a music critic, Su Caitao doesn't really know much about Jessica.
Moreover, "The Voice 2024" kept the news about the replacement singer very secretive.
Before the live broadcast started tonight, apart from the video released at the end of the last live broadcast, no further information was made public, so Su Caitao did not have time to do some background research on Jessica in advance.
It was not until she saw some popular science comments posted by fans in the live broadcast room that Su Caitao finally understood: "It turns out that Jessica can speak multiple languages. No wonder she speaks Chinese so fluently. This girl is quite amazing... Why do birds and fish suddenly feel a little dangerous?"
[really!]
[Perhaps the birds and fish tonight might really be defeated by this girl.]
[So what song will Jessica sing tonight?]
[I don’t know! I feel every one of her songs is very nice, and with her live performance ability, any song she plays should be a killer hit, right?]
[The production team of "The Voice of China 2024" has learned bad things! At this stage of the competition, they have not announced the song list of the singers in advance]
This week, the production team did not release the playlist of songs that the singers will sing, so everyone can only make wild guesses.
War preparation room.
When Suning heard the words "birds and fish" coming out of Jessica's mouth, his heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, he didn't want to face Jessica in tonight's 1v1.
Because he felt that the birds and fish had little chance of winning.
As a newcomer, Jessica is coming in with great momentum, and it is also her debut stage performance, so her advantages are probably enormous.
If they lose this battle, the reputation that they have just improved will probably fall again!
Suning sighed in his heart. Although he was a little reluctant, there was no way to avoid it.
He glanced at Bai Xingjian calmly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
If it weren't for what this kid said, Jessica probably wouldn't have chosen the birds and fish as her opponents, right?
Suning made another note for Bai Xingjian in his little notebook.
At this time, Liao Bei gave Bai Xingjian a thumbs up and said with a smile: "You really guessed it right! Awesome!"
Bai Xingjian smiled and praised Liao Bei for his business dealings: "Brother Bei, didn't you have the same idea as me just now? We are both pretty good."
To Suning, the two people who were chatting happily were like a knife stabbing his heart.
Qiao Xi would add another blow from time to time.
Just when Suning was a little overwhelmed, Jessica's debut stage performance was about to begin, which also attracted everyone's attention.
The stage lights dimmed and the song information appeared.
【Carmen】
【Singer: Jessica】
【Lyrics: Jessica】
【Composition: Jessica】
【Arranger: Jessica】
“It’s the song ‘Carmen’!!!”
"My sister Xika is awesome! You're singing such an unpopular song right at the start?"
"He's also an original singer! There's something special about him."
The song information displayed on the big screen sparked discussion among many audience members.
As three heartbeat-like sound effects sounded, the scene became quiet again, and everyone began to focus their attention on Jessica on the stage.
The melody sounded and clear notes flowed out.
The melody of "Carmen" at the beginning has a hint of sadness. It is said that Jessica was inspired to write this song from a movie, and some of the background of this movie is closely related to the place where Jessica lives.
So this song can also be said to be a fusion of some of her personal experiences.
Amid countless expectant gazes, Jessica began to sing.
Her voice was low and magnetic, as if it came from a deep valley, containing a strong sense of laziness, which deeply attracted countless listeners on the scene.
"It sounds good!"
"…Why do I feel like this girl's voice has a half-dead, weak feeling?"
……
The song "Carmen" is not so easy to listen to at the beginning, but as time goes by, at a certain stage, Jessica's accent suddenly changes.
The previous laziness disappeared, replaced by the energetic singing of the nightingale, whose clear and melodious singing penetrated the entire studio.
Countless spectators were stunned.
This change in tone...is it really the same person speaking?
