Chapter 298: Ah Quan's Results Are Not Ideal (Part 2)
The order of the singers arranged by the production team is also very subtle. After Kuka Si, it is immediately Miss Luo Quan, which simply puts the matter of provoking opposition on the table.
Fortunately, the styles of the songs they sang are not the same, and they sing their own songs, so there is no need to worry about forming a direct contrast.
Unlike most young singers who stepped on this stage for the first time, Miss Luo Quan did not feel nervous at all, but rather very excited. She had already experienced bigger scenes, and this little battle could not scare her.
Before starting to sing, a segment of the singer's mental journey in choosing this track will be played, that is, why they want to sing this song.
On the big screen, Miss Luo Quan put her legs together, stepped on the crossbar of a small stool, and said with a smile: "Before coming, I heard that the audience of 'I Am a Singer' loves to listen to songs, and even more loves to listen to good songs, and all types of music have appeared on the stage of 'I Am a Singer', but it seems that no one has sung a musical, so this time I want to try it and be the first person to eat crab."
This mental journey was unexpected by most of the audience judges. They didn't know what Miss Luo Quan would sing in advance. They all thought she would sing a pop song that shows off skills, such as "Listen," which is a ten-star difficulty song for pop music and is very suitable for singing here.
Although it is a musical, as long as it is singing, it can appear on this stage.
After the mental journey was played, the singing officially began.
The camera followed Miss Luo Quan from the backstage all the way to the stage. Today she is wearing a white European-style long dress, which is imitated from the heroine's costume in "The Phantom of the Opera." The lighting on the scene was also adjusted to be slightly dark, and a cloud of fog floated from somewhere on the ground. The scene rendering was very in place.
Miss Luo Quan didn't have a microphone in her hand. This singing method of hers doesn't need a microphone for amplification in this professional concert hall. Singing directly can also make all the audience on the scene hear clearly.
A microphone was placed at the edge of the stage for recording.

The prelude sounded suddenly, and the heavy metal-style music made everyone's heart tremble.
Just talking about "The Phantom of the Opera," perhaps most of the audience have heard of it, but those who have really heard it are estimated to account for less than half, and those who can finish listening are probably even fewer.
"I Am a Singer" is a variety show after all, facing the general public, and it is impossible to be like the Youth Singer Competition, where everyone sitting below has extremely high musical literacy.
For those sitting here, it is already good to have heard of "The Phantom of the Opera."
However, classics are always classics. Just a prelude made many people feel a sense of familiarity in their hearts.
They must have heard this melody somewhere, but they didn't deliberately remember it.
Miss Luo Quan's singing voice floated gently, low and clear, which is pure bel canto.
In order to sing this song well, Miss Luo Quan deliberately redeemed Sierra Boggess's character card, making up for her lack of advanced techniques in bel canto.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is a professional bel canto soprano now.
The first half of the musical is sung separately by men and women, one sentence after another. In order to highlight Miss Luo Quan's voice, the production team adjusted the male voice to be relatively low to avoid stealing the show.
And Miss Luo Quan also walked on the stage continuously like a real musical actor.
She said that what she wanted to bring to everyone was a musical. A musical is definitely not just singing; expressions and movements are also quite important.
Miss Luo Quan vividly expressed the heroine's fear and expectation of the unknown through her expressions and movements. Although it was a performance without objects, it gave the audience a sense of being on the scene.
It was as if Miss Luo Quan was groping in the dark, and the voice of the Phantom of the Opera kept coming from her side.
The first half of this musical is relatively flat, and the performance is the focus. Miss Luo Quan performed this part as well as possible.
However, it was somewhat disappointing for the audience, because these singing segments had no difficulty at all, whether it was bel canto or pop, in every sense of no difficulty.
To put it ugly, if there is only this level, it is a bit insulting to the stage of "I Am a Singer." No matter how good the acting is, it is useless, because this is not "Actors Please Take Your Place"!
However, the guests in the lounge all hugged their chests with serious expressions. They knew that these were just paving the way for the climax, and the essence of this scene was all at the end!
And as the plot progressed, the song finally reached its climax.
The excited male voice began to let Miss Luo Quan sing loudly, shouting a "Sing!" to Miss Luo Quan.
Miss Luo Quan seemed to have heard the instruction. As soon as she opened her mouth, it was a Bb5 long note!
All the audience were taken aback. They didn't expect Miss Luo Quan's voice to cross directly from ordinary to here, and it was still bel canto!
And this is just a beginning.
Miss Luo Quan's lungs seemed to be cast from steel, continuously maintaining the delivery of breath for her. This long note was so long that the audience felt a little suffocated listening to it.
One wave after another, that "Sing!" sounded again. Miss Luo Quan paused briefly, and as soon as she opened her mouth again, it was C6!
At this time last year, her singing voice could only reach C6, which is HighC in female voices, but she could not maintain a continuous stable long note, but now, this problem has long been overcome.
At this time, not only the audience, but the guests in the lounge also showed surprised expressions. It is estimated that even they did not expect that Miss Luo Quan could directly soar to C6 after maintaining the Bb5 long note!
However, what surprised them even more was that the third "Sing!" came. Miss Luo Quan paused briefly again and sang to "C#6," which is half a note higher than the female HighC!
Soon the fourth "Sing!" sounded. The audience covered their mouths in pain, showing unbelievable expressions, and asked in their hearts: It's already C#6, can it still be raised?
It really can. Miss Luo Quan took a light breath and sent out a string of D6 long notes!
Lucas in the lounge stood up directly and raised his hand to cheer for Miss Luo Quan.
As a singer with absolute pitch, he can keenly perceive every time Miss Luo Quan raises the key. The sound after raising the key does not contain any moisture, and the quality is ridiculously high.
These three key raises can already be included in the textbook of high notes. It is estimated that there are not even a handful of people in the world who can sing more stably than Miss Luo Quan!
But do you think this is the end?
No, when the fifth "Sing!" sounded, everyone was stupid.
Can it still be raised?!
The audience stood up, either surprised, or unbelievable, or applauding.
And Miss Luo Quan told them with practical actions that it can indeed be raised.
Miss Luo Quan, who received the order, turned around suddenly, took a deep breath while turning, opened her red lips, and sent out that high note like magic sound filling the brain!
G6! It is a genuine G6 high note!
When a female voice reaches this point, it can't actually be called a high note; it should be called a whistle sound, because this sound sounds like a sharp whistle, which is the dolphin sound known to the public.
Miss Luo Quan's highest range can reach G7, but it can only reach it briefly. If you want to maintain it for a relatively long time, you can only lower it by one octave, which is G6, but it only lasts for a mere two or three seconds.
However, even if it is only two or three seconds, it means a realm, an extraordinary realm that few people in the world can reach.
After singing the final high note, Miss Luo Quan's cheeks were as red as peaches, she covered her heaving chest with her hands, and panted heavily.
Since her debut, this is the first time she has sung so hard. The G6 long note is almost at her limit.
Fortunately, she was in good condition today, and there was no situation of breaking notes or unstable breath, and the stage performance was also perfect.
The performance ended, the lights of the whole venue lit up, shining on Miss Luo Quan. She bowed to the audience and stepped down amidst a burst of cheers.
Returning to the lounge, what greeted Miss Luo Quan was a piece of congratulatory sound.
"You are very powerful. It is the first time I have seen a female singer of your age sing like this," Lucas said excitedly.
"Thank you." Miss Luo Quan nodded gently.
Kong Yue looked at Miss Luo Quan in surprise: "Junior sister, aren't you studying pop singing? How can bel canto be so powerful to this point!"
Miss Luo Quan smiled: "I know a little bit about every singing method. This time I used bel canto, and maybe it will be ethnic singing in the next episode."
"Ethnic singing is my specialty, then you have to perform well." Kong Yue smiled very confidently.
In the field of ethnic singing, she belongs to the status of a hall-level singer, so saying such things is definitely not bragging.
However, she is not singing ethnic music this time on the show. It is not easy to be on a non-official variety show, so she must sing some different songs.
To put it ugly, after attending so many evening parties and participating in so many comfort performances, she is almost sick of singing ethnic music. Now that there is a chance, she must try pop singing.
In fact, Kong Yue likes pop music very much. At first, she wanted to be a pop singer when she learned to sing, but the teacher felt that she was more suitable for singing ethnic music, so she later embarked on the road of singing ethnic music.
The third one to appear was her. With junior sister Miss Luo Quan as a pearl in front, Kong Yue, who appeared later, naturally went all out and brought a feast for the ears to everyone.
The audience was a little dizzy with happiness at this time. It was only the first episode, and the excitement was already almost the same as the finals of the previous episodes. It is worthy of being the largest investment in history, and none of the guests who came here have been lagging behind.
And the teachers who appeared later are worthy of the name of the old predecessors of the Chinese music scene. Whether it is the stage style or singing skills, they are impeccable.
Perhaps they didn't want to be compared by a few juniors, so several old predecessors were holding their breath when they went on stage. The first episode, which should have been relatively relaxed, had a very fierce competitive atmosphere.
After the seven guests finished singing, the audience below was already sweating profusely and shouting for enjoyment.
The singers went all out on the stage, and they were not relaxed below the stage. Everyone had to give interaction, and had to react to the wonderful parts of the song at all times. Clapping and cheering, which one doesn't require physical strength?
Of course, their love for music is also unquestionable.
After the seven songs were sung, the show proceeded to the public scoring link. Everyone has a vote in their hands, voting for the one you like most among the seven singers, and finally ranking according to the number of votes, and eliminating the last one.
In previous shows, elimination was carried out every two episodes, but this episode is going to start elimination as soon as it comes up. While the competition system is cruel, it also makes the public judges more cautious in exercising their right to vote.
The guests in the lounge are nervously waiting for the results. In the first episode, none of them want to leave directly like this, and they definitely want to stay as long as possible.
However, everyone's performance today is very strong, and someone will definitely leave.
Miss Luo Quan and Kong Yue, the two sisters, performed relatively calmly. According to their own estimates, this performance was perfect, and the audience's reaction was also quite good. Whoever is eliminated will not be their turn.
However, after the final results came out, it surprised many people.
"First place Kong Yue, 176 votes!"
"Second place Kuka Si, 92 votes!"
"Third place Lu Huan, 73 votes!"
"Fourth place Li Yitong, 52 votes!"
"Fifth place Huang Lei, 48 votes!"
"Sixth place Miss Luo Quan, 33 votes!"
"Seventh place, Rhine Band 30 votes!"
Rhine Band got the fewest votes and was eliminated!
This did not exceed everyone's expectations. As a veteran rock band in China, the singing skills of the lead singer of the Rhine Band cannot be compared with those present. Coming here is more because of old qualifications.
Although the audience listened very high, it was not the case when they really voted.
In China, rock is actually dead, so the elimination of the Rhine Band is within everyone's expectations.
It's just that I didn't expect Miss Luo Quan's ranking to be so low, only three votes more than the eliminated Rhine Band.
If two people changed their minds and voted for the Rhine Band, it would be Miss Luo Quan who left.
Miss Luo Quan herself obviously didn't expect such a result, and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that what died in China is not only rock, but also musicals."
She definitely had no problem singing this time. In "I Am a Singer," which likes high notes very much, she sang the highest note in the history of the show. According to past practice, she should be in the top three anyway.
But the reality is that she is on the verge of elimination, indicating that the songs she sang do not meet the taste of the public judges.
The public judges chosen by "I Am a Singer" are divided into five groups: 12-18 years old, 18-24, 25-30, then 31-35, 41-50.
Each group has one hundred people, and the distribution is not particularly even, with more young people.
However, considering the age distribution of the audience of "I Am a Singer," this ratio is quite reasonable. After all, not many people who are old will go to Mango TV to watch variety shows.
And what young people like more is obviously pop music. There are actually few who like rock, let alone musicals that are more niche than rock.
Among the youngest group of judges, most people felt that Miss Luo Quan sang a flat song in the front, with no highlights, and howled for half a song in the back, making their ears ache.
The melody of the song is not good, and even the main and chorus cannot be distinguished.
How could they buy such a performance?
Therefore, Miss Luo Quan got such an unsatisfactory result. ===== CHAPTER 299 =====
