Of course, "jiu er" isn't really considered an old song.
After all, besides its performance at the last exchange meeting, the current grand finals marked only its second appearance on stage.
It was just that Su Yu had released too many new songs recently, and they were so powerful that they gave the audience and netizens the feeling that "jiu er" was already an old song.
"The field beside me ~ the fragrance of jujube flowers by my hand. The sorghum ripens, red fills the sky ~ jiu er, I'll send you far away."
So when Kong Jing's singing resounded on the stage, and when the familiar melody of "jiu er" entered the ears of every audience member, countless people felt their pores open, and a feeling called comfort began to spread...
Many people knew that they had once again been successfully captivated by these simple four lines of lyrics.
When the song reached the middle and later sections, and when the suona sounded on the stage!
After Kong Jing's terrifying high note steadily suppressed the suona again, the live audience one by one fell into stunned silence.
Watching videos online and listening directly on site, feeling the impact of the Great Demon King, were completely two different sensations.
And the Great Demon King will always be the Great Demon King!
After a soul-stirring "jiu er," she directly claimed a terrifying 58,409 votes!
While breaking the 58,399 votes just set by Wu Anjun and Qin Shi Mingyue, it also directly brought back the suspense of the final ranking for this round.
At this time, Chu Ming and Lin Feng's urge to write songs for Kong Jing grew even stronger.
If they could find Bai Duo to write the lyrics, they would compose the music, and then have Kong Jing perform it.
Even if Su Yu won the season chart in December, what then? They could directly break Su Yu's winning streak the very next month!
Moreover, they felt that the reason Kong Jing couldn't perform Su Yu's song this time was because Tianxing Entertainment was trying to promote Xie Jie, wasn't it?
Kong Jing wasn't one of their own people, so why would they give her a good song at such an important time?
These were all human nature, but this also gave them an opportunity to take advantage and cooperate with Kong Jing.
Of course, if they knew that Kong Jing had voluntarily given up this time, who knows what their mood would be like.
Amidst the applause from the live audience, which almost broke their hands, Peacock Fairy bowed in thanks, then elegantly exited the stage.
And Xie Jie, who was the second to take the stage, also brushed past her at this moment.
"Go for it!" Kong Jing encouraged softly, while Xie Jie nodded heavily in response.
But how could Xie Jie possibly surpass such an explosive vote count of 58,409?
In many people's eyes, Xie Jie, who took the stage after Kong Jing, no matter how good his psychological resilience, should have been affected, right?
However, with the grand finals having progressed this far, no one dared to stand up and say that the outcome was already determined.
Heaven knows whether Xie Jie, Xiao Jingyu, and Wu Anjun, who were yet to perform, would once again explode with a surprise!
Xie Jie stood firm on the stage, took a deep breath, and then nodded slightly towards the band.
The moment the faint piano prelude began, the song's information also appeared.
"riding a white horse"
Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Xie Jie
The moment such a strange song title appeared, the audience and netizens all ungraciously laughed.
They felt that this was normal for Su Yu, who was terrible at naming things!
They wouldn't deny Su Yu's work just because of the song title; that would be very foolish, wouldn't it? They wouldn't fall for it!
And the "riding a white horse" that Su Yu prepared for Xie Jie this time was the adapted version by a certain Jay on Earth.
Su Yu felt that this version was incredibly well-arranged, showing the audience other possibilities in Jay's style.
And when Xie Jie received this song, he treasured it and prepared it meticulously.
So, was Xie Jie affected or nervous by Kong Jing's Great Demon King-like performance? That was not the case.
If he had to be nervous, Xie Jie was only worried that his interpretation of this song might not meet Su Yu's requirements!
During the prelude, Xie Jie slowly picked up the microphone, and then Xie Jie's highly recognizable, clear voice filled the entire venue.
"【Whomever I love, I can't cross, I never feel wrong.
I delude myself that by grasping pain, I can hide in memories.
Stubbornly believing in a cursed crystal ball,
Blocking the reasons for a possible heart flutter.】"
This song didn't start with a peaceful performance, which immediately caught the attention of the audience and netizens.
Because with many songs, you can't tell the quality from the verses; you can only judge when you hear the chorus.
But this strangely titled "riding a white horse" did not falter in the verse section; instead, it was very captivating!
Xie Jie's singing continued from the stage.
"【But you approached, forcing our gazes to intersect.
Standing still or moving forward, suddenly caring about this minute.
Before my eyes, sand fills the waiting, in my ears, a faint cry for help.
Chasing me to love without reservation~.】"
The verse section was already melodious, and the emotions in Xie Jie's singing also gradually intensified with the song's melody.
When this section of the performance ended, everyone knew that the chorus of this song was about to arrive.
Whether it could truly amaze them depended on how Su Yu handled the chorus of this song.
However, the moment the chorus came out, including Lin Feng, Chu Ming, and all the other musicians, the audience and netizens were all dumbfounded!
"【I riding a white horse~, crossing three passes.
I change into plain clothes~, returning to the Central Plains.
Leaving Xiliang~, unmanaged.
My heart only longs for~, Wang Baochuan.】"
Was the chorus amazing? Of course, it was amazing!
Although there were folk tales of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan on Blue Star, what was Xie Jie singing?
"Oh my, what dialect is this? It's so beautiful and so unique!"
"I was amazed by the chorus! I just don't know how Su Shen's brain is wired to have such a design!"
"The moment the chorus came out, I got goosebumps all over, it's too awesome!"
"Ahem, time for some popular science, this part uses Minnan dialect! And the pronunciation is quite standard."
From the activity of the bullet comments, one could see how successful the song's debut was.
This made countless audience members and netizens feel that the results of this round were becoming increasingly unpredictable.
However, did the amazing part end just like that?
The moment Xie Jie's Minnan dialect chorus ended, an explosive suona solo began.
At this moment, countless people widened their eyes, feeling as if they were experiencing some hallucination!
They hadn't walked into the wrong set, had they? Otherwise, why would they hear a suona?
Was such an arrangement design meant to directly send them off?
And a feeling called frustration now permeated the hearts of many musicians and lyricists.
Every time they felt they had figured out Su Yu's routine, Su Yu would always come out and directly prove them wrong, slapping them in the face!
Such a feeling was truly too speechless and powerless.
"Su Yu, if you have the guts, keep shocking us, keep slapping us in the face later in the song?" The musicians roared helplessly in their hearts.
