Xie Jie stepped off the stage with a smile; he was very satisfied with his performance today.
At least the current vote count made him feel he hadn't let Su Yu down with such a good song.
The fourth person to take the stage today was Qingtian, Xue Qing.
At this moment, Xue Qing said it wasn't false that she was nervous; the stages of both Na La and Xie Jie had made her feel the gap.
Qingtian, Qingtian, Qingtian......
Watching Qingtian walk onto the stage step by step, the live audience also shouted her name.
This made Xue Qing's nervous mood relax a lot in an instant.
She didn't want to compete for results anymore, because the top three were out of reach.
But she could compare and compete with her self from before!
As long as her performance today was stronger than her previous self, wouldn't that mean she hadn't disappointed Su Yu?
Moreover, Xue Qing felt that the song she received today was not lacking in any way!
At this moment, Qingtian's song information for this round had already appeared on the big screen.
years of stealing time
Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Qingtian
Seeing the song title, the live audience and netizens were a bit confused for a moment.
Thief? Is this a song about a thief?
Even more so, some even wondered if this was a song Su Yu wrote for Chu Liuxiang?
After all, Su Yu often interacts with Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, and weren't both songs from little li flying dagger entirely from Su Yu's hand?
Now writing a song for Chu Liuxiang, a character under Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng's pen, wouldn't be excessive, right?
And many people actively filtered out the first two words, 'years'!
As the faintly warm prelude began, Qingtian's singing also came out.
""If you can hold it, don't let go;
If you can embrace it, don't pull away.
Time rushes by, washing away,
What is left behind.""
As soon as the verse lyrics came out, the audience and netizens knew what she was singing about!
years of stealing time, it was actually about time.
What a clickbait title!
However, the melody at the beginning of this song was indeed pleasant and catchy, and Qingtian's singing also gave them a very warm and healing feeling.
On the stage, Qingtian's singing continued.
""Forgive the twists and turns you've walked,
What remains is truly real.
Even if it's like a dream, half-awake,
Laughing and crying, all are joyful.""
The second part of the verse was clearly more catchy and pleasant to listen to, and such a song about the passage of time was truly very special.
In terms of universality, it had a much broader audience and market than Luren Jia's melancholic songs.
And as Qingtian's singing lengthened and intensified, the classic chorus part of the song followed.
""Who lets,
Time is something that catches people off guard,
Windy when clear, rainy when cloudy.
Can't contend with the present, yet yearns for the past,
Stealing away youth, yet keeping one you.""
"Holy cow! These lyrics! Absolutely amazing!"
"I can only dryly type 'good to listen to'!"
"This song truly has so much feeling! As expected of Su Shen's song, it's excellent as always!"
"Qingtian's singing is also beautiful! She seems to have improved a lot too!"
The bullet comments were boiling due to the stunning chorus.
Lin Feng and Chu Ming, in front of the video, sighed in their hearts.
Not to mention that their prepared songs couldn't beat Xie Jie's brightest star in the night sky earlier, and now years of stealing time was also something their songs couldn't compare to.
Perhaps in melody and arrangement, they hadn't lost, but in lyrics and meaning, they had truly lost completely!
Looking at the excited and even moved expressions of the live audience, and then at the wildly emotional bullet comments.
A hint of frustration arose in their hearts.
This also made them deeply realize that if they didn't treat Su Yu as a lyricist and composer of the same level as themselves, they truly wouldn't have even a tiny chance of winning.
It seems that when they aim to stop Su Yu's 'ascension' to twelve consecutive wins, they must bring out their most treasured song works.
""Years are a journey with no return,
Good and bad are all scenery.
Don't blame me for being greedy, I just don't want to wake up,
Because of you, only for you, I'm willing to be with me,
To see the clouds and light breeze.""
The chorus ended, leaving behind a wave of emotion.
Wang Shan, who was backstage preparing to go on next, felt a little disheartened at this moment.
He knew that tonight, neither Luren Jia nor Qingtian's vote counts would be very high.
But this wasn't because their songs weren't good, but because their qualifications were too shallow; in terms of singing ability, stage control, and experience, they couldn't be compared to them.
If both of them had been active first-tier singers in the music industry before participating in the variety show, then perhaps he and Na La would have been pulled down tonight.
Just like Xie Jie, who, despite having a lower status than him and Na La, was able to suppress Na La, a diva, in the comeback round and today's semi-finals!
Because what Xie Jie lacked wasn't strength, but a trophy symbolizing The King of Singers, or 'Best Male Singer,' nothing more.
However, even so, Wang Shan still felt pressured at this moment.
After all, being pushed to this extent by newcomers was truly not something he was willing to see.
The B section of years of stealing time began.
""If you can hold it, don't let go,
If you can embrace it, don't pull away......""
Although the lyrics of the A section were being repeated, many people heard different insights in Qingtian's singing.
Qingtian's visible growth rate also stimulated the psychological defenses of some veteran singers.
It seemed to be telling them, if you don't work harder, we newcomers will surpass you!
""Years are a journey with no return,
......
To see the clouds and light breeze.""
When the song ended, the live audience did not hesitate to give their applause and cheers.
"Thank you to singer Qingtian for bringing us years of stealing time, truly a wonderful performance! Wu Anjun teacher, what do you think of Qingtian's performance tonight?"
Host Xiao Min came on stage with a smile; she truly liked the singer Qingtian very much.
She followed almost every one of Qingtian's songs, and could even sing them.
And asking Wu Anjun to comment, wasn't that the expected thing to do?
"Qingtian's progress is obvious to all, and this performance of years of stealing time also gives a stunning feeling, very good! Keep it up! You can be even better, even stronger!"
Su Yu had long guessed it would be like this, but his comments came out effortlessly.
And they were absolutely the kind that no one could find fault with after he revealed his identity!
"Thank you, thank you Wu Anjun teacher!" Qingtian bowed deeply, her humble demeanor not causing too much suspicion.
About ninety percent of the live audience and netizens actually knew that Qingtian was Tianxing Entertainment's new singer, Xue Qing.
So as a newcomer, being respectful and polite to seniors was nothing out of the ordinary.
And then, the number of votes for Qingtian's years of stealing time made Na La's eyes almost pop out!
Because Qingtian actually got 55399 votes, just barely catching up to her 55661 votes!
Crazy, such a result was truly very crazy!
And this result also made Bi Huo, who had returned to the lounge, feel a pang of toothache.
In the comeback round, he had lost the competition against Xue Qing.
Making him very "unwillingly" become Xue Qing's boyfriend.
And not Xue Qing being his, Bi Huo's, girlfriend.
Now he lost again? Bi Huo felt that his dignity as a boyfriend was really a bit hard to maintain~
