Chapter 534: Chapter 509 He Must Love You_1
On stage.
An Hong helplessly said, “Everyone must have noticed too. It seems that Teacher Prince of Lanling is having some minor issues with his physical condition. However, this is a competition and we hope that all singers will go all out without considering other issues. Let’s warmly welcome the first singer of today, Teacher Fat-Head Fish!”
Applause rang out.
Fat-Head Fish took the stage, took a deep breath, then, holding the microphone, said:
“I’m sorry to see that Teacher Prince of Lanling is not feeling well, but I’ll still deliver my best. This is not only a respect for the audience but also a respect for Teacher Wang!”
The judges nodded.
As competitors, they should give their all, no need to consider other things, after all, a competition never involves just one person.
Soon.
The singing began.
Fat-Head Fish was performing a lyrical song.
She seemed to be born for pop music. She was one of the few in the competition who was not good at high pitches, yet she made it to the top twelve.
…

Lin Yuan was silently listening to his rival’s singing. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.
It was Xia Fan.
In the previous rounds, Lin Yuan hadn’t recognized her.
But this time, Fat-Head Fish wanted to bring out her best and had to reveal her vocal features. She couldn’t hide her identity by compromising her performance.
Advancing!
That’s what matters the most!
Lin Yuan believed that even if Xia Fan knew that he was Lin Yuan, she would never go easy on him. That’s just how they interact with each other.
The fact was.
Xia Fan certainly didn’t go easy on him.
She performed very well in this competition!
Pop music might be criticized by some as lacking substance and being too commercialized, but there’s no denying that pop music is popular because it resonates with the general public!
In everyday life.
Minor loves and minor affections.
Ordinary people embrace it.
Countless songs are about affairs between couples, even the famous Jane Eyre is also about the same theme, and yet, over the centuries, all works related to love never lack an audience.
…
Lin Yuan figured it out.
Many audiences figured it out too.
“This voice sounds familiar…”
“It’s Xia Fan!”
“That’s right, it’s Xia Fan’s voice!”
“Xia Fan singing pop music is absolutely stunning!”
“Her voice is so suited to this kind of music genre!”
“Fat-Head Fish must be Xia Fan, she can’t hide it anymore in this competition!”
“You can’t hide as you go on.”
“…”
When Xia Fan finished singing, the whole audience erupted in warm applause.
The song she sang was common Mandarin and the most seen pop music. It had no high notes, no complicated singing techniques, and even ordinary people could sing it in KTV.
It’s not a high bar.
It just told an ordinary love story of a couple, but this song about love moved many audiences at this moment. They didn’t hesitate to give their applause.
Who says singing must show off technical skills?
Who says stage performance requires high notes?
Pop music belongs to the public, and so does Fat-Head Fish’s voice. Her voice embodied countless people’s best impression of this type of song. What was amazing about Fat-Head Fish was that she brought out a flavor in those well-known pop songs that ordinary people absolutely couldn’t.
…
Tongtong gave a bitter smile, “It’s so pleasant to listen to.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Xia Fan was very stable on stage singing this song.
Yes.
She was just that steady.
The nature of this song might not be able to get particularly high scores, but as long as perfectly performed, the final score surely wouldn’t be low.
This is pop music for the general public.
Lin Yuan quietly used the potion provided by the System. Although the potion couldn’t help his throat recover immediately, it could at least prevent him from coughing uncontrollably while singing.
…
The comments would be made later. In this kind of one-on-one duel, the two singers had to sing one after another. So as Fat-Head Fish just finished her song, the host mentioned “Prince of Lanling”.
“I’m going up.”
Lin Yuan said, then walked onto the stage.
The venue was a little quiet.
Judges’ seats.
Yang Zhongming suddenly said, “I won’t pity you for losing your voice and give you a sympathy vote. The stage should still be judged based on the singer’s performance.”
“No problem.”
This is what Lin Yuan wanted to see.
On the screen.
As Prince of Lanling stepped onto the stage, the comments started flooding the screen:
“Is he really going to sing?”
“Why doesn’t he just forfeit?”
“Can he still compete with this voice?”
“It’s so hoarse.”
“It feels even more hoarse than before he got on the stage.”
“…..”
No one could imagine what song Prince of Lanling would sing under such circumstances.
Just at this moment.
The lights dimmed.
The song information appeared on the screen.
Song Title: “He Must Love You Very Much.”
Lyricist: Xian Yu
Composer: Xian Yu
Performed by: Prince of Lanling
Holding the microphone, Lin Yuan began to sing quietly:
“I’m hiding in the car
Champagne in hand
Wanting to surprise you
On your birthday…”
As soon as Lin Yuan’s voice emerged many members of the live audience were momentarily stunned as if punched by something.
The four judges also exchanged confused looks.
This voice…
It was quite hoarse!
But…
This hoarseness, when singing, somehow possessed an indescribable charm. It seemed as if this song was meant to be sung with such a raspy voice.
“You’re getting closer
Two voices can be heard
I was caught off guard
And stood there…”
Still that hoarse voice, but it carried an indescribable feeling, subtly stirred the audiences’ hearts. The spectators seemed to see a man sitting in his car, helplessly watching his beloved woman with another man in front of his own eyes, while still having the birthday surprise for her in his hand…
Accompanied by a somber piano note.
Lin Yuan lowered his head slightly:
“I should have been under the car
Not sitting inside it
Seeing how sweet you two are
In this manner
It’s easier for me to let go
Gives me the courage to walk away…”
In an instant!
The audience’s faces changed!
The last two words from Prince of Lanling were hoarse to the point of near collapse. In the scenario presented by the song, the sorrowful feeling resonated with countless people. There were no high notes, but everyone clearly felt a sense of hysteria—
“He must love you very much
And has surpassed me
The breakup took just a minute
He must love you very much
Better at pleasing you than I
Won’t be like me, acting childishly
Making things difficult for you…”
Upon reaching this part, the eyes of the audience were completely wide open, some even had their mouths agape. The melody of the music combined with this voice, brought about a sense of sorrow and helplessness after a breakup!
He can actually sing!
He really can sing!
No matter how raspy his voice became, it still brought about the most emotional impact to the song!
“Oh my god!”
“What kind of voice is that!”
“How can a hoarse voice sound so good?”
“How does he do that!”
“I never thought that a raspy voice could add so much charm to a song, this song is just stunning!”
“So magnetic!”
“Even though I haven’t been drinking, I feel like I’m about to get drunk, this is the best husky voice I’ve ever heard!”
“…”
Welcome.
The song is “He Must Love You Very Much”, the classic work by the Earth singer A-do.
Mentioning a hoarse voice,
A-do is a name that everyone has to mention.
Because Lin Yuan’s voice was hoarse, he naturally thought of this song!
To be precise…
It’s quite hard for Lin Yuan to sing this song in his normal voice, but because his voice became hoarse, he could bring out the best performance of this song!
…
Backstage.
The other singers were also stunned.
The White Swan muttered, “That voice is just deadly!”
The Robot slapped his thighs, “It wouldn’t have worked without a hoarse voice!”
Pufferfish mumbled, “I didn’t know there were songs for hoarse voices!”
Mermaid bit her lip, “This song and his current voice are a match made in heaven…”
A match made in heaven!
Everyone thought that once Prince of Lanling lost his voice, his performance would suffer. But little did they know, after his voice became hoarse, he delivered such a song!
Stunned!
Completely overwhelmed!
Just now, Fat-Head Fish delivered a pop song about love, which had its own uniqueness. But now, Prince of Lanling also sang a pop song about love which wasn’t just unique, but something rarely seen in the whole music industry—
It was a masterpiece!
