Chapter 188

「What exactly has he gone through to be able to write such lyrics? 」

「He definitely has a white moonlight he can never obtain, which is why he can write such lyrics; it's not that I can't think of it, how can a person have such an artistic conception! 」

「White Fox, I would call it the saddest song I have ever heard! 」

「I and my husband listened and cried together; we cried together, I cried for my ex-boyfriend, he cried for his ex-girlfriend. 」

「Although this song is good, it feels weird; it's not as exquisite as Zhang Anqi's songs. 」

「Speaking of which, just finished, then I listened to the song and started crying; my girlfriend asked if I missed my wife, regretting being with her—how do I explain now? 」

……

Ye Qing finished singing a song and bowed; the barrage in the livestream finally returned to normal numbers, and at this moment the number of people in the livestream also seemed poised to hit four million concurrent viewers.

Ya Ya saw the livestream data return to normal, breathed a sigh of relief; she had still been worried whether there was a technical problem in the livestream, now that it's normal it's good.

Now it's finally normal!

She was standing at the side of the stage; it was about to be her turn to go on, but at this moment her face was somewhat heavy, her emotions still caught up in that song just now; if it weren't for the makeup on her face and the program not yet ended, she would now want to rub her face to calm herself down!

But the program is still being broadcast live, which is obviously not allowed; she made an effort to adjust her emotions, letting a smile appear on her face.

Then she strode forward with her long legs toward the center of the stage.

There, Ye Qing stood there gracefully, about to step onto the stage.

Ya Ya walked over and said, "Miss Ye Qing, please wait a moment."

Then the camera focused on both of them.

Ya Ya said: "That song just now was so moving that my emotions still haven't calmed down."

Ye Qing smiled but didn't respond; before, because she misspoke, Lao ban got scolded by netizens, so now she dares not speak recklessly.

She took the netizens' opinion to be because her words weren't finished.

As the host, Ya Ya is certainly better at finding topics, so she continued: "How do you feel about your performance just now?"

Ye Qing held the microphone and softly said: "It's okay, I feel just average, not particularly good."

"Wow, not performing well almost made me tear up. No, I was worried about my makeup, so I tried hard not to let tears fall, but I saw the audience; many were moved by your voice and couldn't help but tear up."

"Audience friends, do you think Ye Qing's singing just now was good or not?"

"Good!"

Offstage, a uniform shout suddenly came, followed by enthusiastic applause.

"Next, please welcome our mentors for their comments."

Ya Ya said, extending her hand in a gesture of invitation.

The camera cut to Zhoudong on the judge's panel.

Zhoudong had a smile on his face, but looked somewhat hesitant, glancing left and right,.

Then he made a look of difficulty, thinking for several seconds before saying:

"First of all, I have to say this song is very good."

"Ye Qing's voice also fits the song's mood very well, and her performance was very stable."

"But if we look from the audience's perspective, this song is pleasant to hear; if we judge Jiang Cheng with the standards of an amateur, this song would be top-notch quality."

"But now we cannot judge Jiang Cheng with an amateur's eye; that would be a downgrade in evaluation."

"If I speak from a musician's perspective, can I comment? Wouldn't it be said that I'm deliberately belittling out of excitement?" Zhoudong said, then suddenly shifted his tone and laughed.

The audience below immediately responded, "No way!"

"Hahaha, Zhoudong is just joking." Ya Ya replied.

The audience below also broke into smiles.

But everyone understood one thing: that Zhoudong's meaning was, "That song just now wasn't good?"

Then they heard Zhoudong say: "From a musician's perspective, this kind of song as an online pop song is fine, but to say how good it is is hard to claim; still, the same thing: on this stage, as long as the audience likes it, that's enough."

After Zhoudong finished speaking, applause came from below.

But many people were whispering to each other, and many in the livestream also echoed.

"Just now we said Jiang Cheng's song, although pleasant to listen to, is really lacking in musical quality."

"Even Zhoudong said that, but I think it's really nice to listen to."

"Jiang Cheng is merely hype created by marketing accounts; his actual level is only enough to write online songs."

！

After Zhoudong finished, the camera shifted to Najin.

Najin said: "The song is very pleasant to hear, but I don't approve of such songs; if our composers all wrote like this, our music would regress fifty years."

"Zhoudong also said that, as an online pop singer, there's no problem, but to perform on such a big stage and view it professionally, this song still has some issues."

When it came to the Queen's evaluation, the Queen seemed very happy and said: "I think it's great to listen to; Jiang Cheng and Ye Qing are members of my team, please everyone support them more, and when voting later, vote for them!"

The Queen also faced the camera and rallied votes for Jiang Cheng.

The venue suddenly burst into applause.

Speaking professionally, the vast majority of the audience really don't understand; they only care whether it's pleasant to listen to.

The two previous mentors, speaking professionally, said the song wasn't good; only the Queen said it was pleasant and also rallied votes.

Next came Huang Zhengming's commentary.

Everyone looked forward to seeing what Huang Zhengming would say.

Because before Ye Qing's performance, Huang Zhengming had already said Jiang Cheng was no good.

By now Ye Qing had finished singing; of the three previous mentors, two had pointed out Jiang Cheng's flaws—the song is pleasant to hear, but judged by professional musical standards, it's not good.

Huang Zhengming said: "I suppose many people think it's pleasant to listen to; from that we can see that, in terms of ability, Jiang Cheng does have some, otherwise he couldn't have written a popular song, but he lacks a good teacher."

"So if I were to evaluate this song, Ye Qing sang it well, but the song itself is very vulgar and meaningless."

Listening to the first half of Huang Zhengming's remark, (they) still thought he was going to praise Jiang Cheng, saying Jiang Cheng merely lacked a good teacher!

But the second half directly said Jiang Cheng's song was vulgar.

Such a comment is quite serious!

Moreover, after Huang Zhengming finished his evaluation, many viewers in the live stream also echoed his opinion.

The main reason is that, on this stage, previously there were songs by Zhang Anqi and Gao Yunyun, both of high quality; to say which is better, each has its own merits.

Jiang Cheng's song "White Fox" might be a bit more moving, but after the evaluations by several mentors, everyone suddenly felt that, if one had to choose, Jiang Cheng's might truly not be as good as Zhang Anqi's earlier song! (End of chapter)
