It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 109 my name
Walking forward along the aisle, Xu Lai appeared on the stage after taking the microphone handed by the staff.

Not many people in the audience could recognize his name, there were only a few sporadic cheers of "Xu Lai", which fell silent when the lights were turned on.

"Hi everyone, I'm Xu Lai, a singer-songwriter, and a member of XO. The song I'm going to sing next is "My Name". I hope you all know my name after this song is over."

Xu Lai bowed slightly to the audience, the lights dimmed suddenly, and a deep and dim piano sound rang out. He followed the rhythm and sang the lyrics when the piano sound first appeared.

please say my name softly
I will respond to you like an adult

Glad I didn't run for too long
still living in a tiny place

Just think that the world is equal to you

This section of lyrics is followed by nearly three seconds of blank silence.

At the moment, the singers and composers who rested in the room and watched Xu Lai's performance on the screen were very serious. After Xu Lai's bass came out, everyone commented on Xu Lai.

This time is indeed the time for their evaluation.

"This bass... tsk, it's gone, okay?" Chen Li, the only woman among them, sighed to Zheng Jun and Hu Yanbin beside him with a smile.

"This singing skill is good." Zheng Jun also nodded, and then continued, "The song will come out soon."

After Zheng Jun said this, everyone turned their attention to the big screen in front of them again.

Just as Zheng Jun guessed, after a brief three seconds of silence, the sound of piano, guitar, drums, etc. rushed out together.

The lights above the stage also turned on at this time, illuminating Xu Lai in the center of the stage, who continued to sing while holding the microphone.

please yell at my name
I'm going to run away in anger

without these voices
I still can't figure it out

How far is the distance to leave

……

I used to keep a bottle of Boring in my bag

Send away the white clouds and gray dogs in the world
Designing a sleeping future

I'm glad those embarrassments are in my arms
make me doubt my existence

finally laughed

……

Please say my name softly—

At this point, Xu Lai sang the last line of the lyrics, and his slightly closed eyes opened at this time, looking at the audience in front of him, bowed, and began to say words of thanks.

"Thank you, everyone, and our band teacher." Xu Lai had a smile on his face, and he looked very calm on the stage. "I hope everyone will like this song."

"Xu Lai, come on!" Apparently there were some fans of Xu Lai in the audience. When Xu Lai thanked everyone and was not about to leave the stage, he suddenly called Xu Lai's name. Xu Lai was very grateful for this, after all, this was his The first stage in the mainland.

"Xu Lai!" There was another exclamation, but it was no longer the voice of one person, but the voices of a dozen people.

Voices are contagious, and suddenly more people called Xu Lai's name, and dozens of people called him by his name together, showing their welcome and love for him, which made him suddenly very happy.

Especially when dozens of people shouted his name under this small stage, he got a little goosebumps.It was the same at the Swiss music festival before. After Xu Lai finished singing, thousands of people in the venue shouted his name, and he also had goosebumps at that time.

Perhaps because it was the cheers of the people in his hometown, Xu Lai was more likely to be infected.

"Thank you everyone." Xu Lai bowed to the audience again, and left the stage with a smile. He retreated along the way he came. There was a lot of smile on the face, and the whole person relaxed.

"You sing really well!" Seeing Xu Lai walking from the aisle, Ma Di stood up with a smile and praised Xu Lai, and then wanted to high-five Xu Lai who came over.

Naturally, Xu Lai was not the kind of person who didn't understand the mood. After high-fiving Ma Di, he cheered him up, "Brother Ma Di, come on, too!"

"I'm going."

Afterwards, Ma Di and Xu Lai waved their hands and walked along the passage to the stage.

Before, it was Ma Di who sat and waited in this aisle to watch Xu Lai perform, and now it was Xu Lai's turn to sit here and watch Ma Di perform.

Ma Di's stage was beyond Xu Lai's expectation. In Xu Lai's impression, Ma Di was a master of folk songs. He was full of literature and artistry. As a result, a rock song was played on the stage...

This reminded Xu Lai of the two videos he had seen before. Ma Di sang the rock version of "Miss Dong" and Song Dongye sang the rock version of "Nan Shan Nan".

But Ma Di’s rock music is really just for fun. It doesn’t have the flavor of rock and roll. The literary words and the explosive rhythm don’t seem to harmonize. Xu Lai knows that Ma Di wants to break through himself, but this style...can’t To say whether it suits him or not, I can only say that the arrangement is a bit poor.

Moreover, Ma Di's singing skills were really not as good as expected, and he failed to arouse the atmosphere of the audience. Compared with the newcomer Xu Lai's live performance, it was a bit colder. In addition, the two people's song styles are also different. Xu Lai's It's a light ballad, and it's not that easy to arouse the atmosphere. But Ma Di's rock music can't arouse the atmosphere of the audience, so it's basically useless.

At this time, the five people in the middle area also discussed.

"Who do you think can come back?" Huo Zun was also smiling now, and he didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.

"I think it's Brother Xu." Sun Yizhou gave the answer after thinking for a while, and then gave his own reasons, "Mr. Ma Di's rock and roll failed to mobilize the audience's emotions, but in fact, the result is almost known. Then brother Xu, his stage performance is too good, there is nothing to say about writing lyrics and composing music, and his singing skills are amazing..."

"I'm also leaning towards Xu Laihui."

"Mr. Ma Di did not perform well this round."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and Huo Zun's questioner thought so too.

This round, as long as there are no problems with the audience, Xu Lai will basically come back in a stable manner.

In the upper zone, there is some deviation from the middle zone. Both Zheng Jun and Chen Li feel that Xu Lai's performance is better. He is better than Ma Di in terms of hardware and software. Hu Yanbin, who has many ups and downs, doesn't think so.

"Not necessarily, right? Compared to Ma Di, Xu Lai is actually at a disadvantage." Hu Yanbin said.

For example, his popularity is not particularly high. Xu Lai's song "My Name" is well written, but there is still a gap in whether he can make up for it.

The program team said that the public judges are basically fair and just, but everyone's aesthetics are different. Who knows what the result will be?

　First more.
