Chapter 130 Shen Yuege, who dazzled the audience
Whispers from the audience:
"I heard Shen Yuege is going to try a completely new style tonight?"
"How new can she be? Isn't she just someone who sings inspirational songs?"
"But I heard the styling is quite groundbreaking..."
"How far can we go with another breakthrough? I don't think it will be easy to surpass that Korean player's score tonight."
Amid the murmurs, the stage lights gradually came on.
Shen Yuege stood in the light, holding a fan, striking a cool pose.
With just one opening pose, a collective gasp filled the audience.
At the same time, the rhythm of music began.
This time it wasn't the sound of a piano or a guitar, but rather electronic drum beats and synthesizer effects, creating a very strong sense of rhythm.
Five seconds into the intro, everyone sat up straight and pricked up their ears.
The judges on the panel also sat up straight.
Looking at the melody, it is indeed very different from Shen Yuege's previous works, which really fits the theme of "breaking out of the circle".
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-hoon, who had initially appeared quite nonchalant, also found the melody appealing.
At least the opening rhythm is no worse than his.
He unconsciously sat up straight, a serious look in his eyes.
As the lights gradually brightened, the audience gasped.
Shen Yuege's makeup and styling this time is so daring!
First of all, there's their clothing. They wore outfits that blended ancient and modern styles, which surprised and delighted people.
Secondly, the fan in her hand also changed the usual image of a fan, even appearing somewhat unconventional.
Li Sheng, sitting on the judges' panel, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It's truly rare for Shen Yuege to appear in such an outfit.
As the melody continued to play, Shen Yuege also began to move on the stage.
She swayed her body gently to the rhythm, her movements clean and crisp, each movement precise and accurate.
Then, she raised the microphone, and the moment she opened her mouth, her voice was no longer the clear and gentle one she used to have, but rather carried a hint of passion and wildness.
However, Kim Ji-hoon, who was in the audience, felt that something was off about Shen Yuege's singing.
He felt it was strange that this song appeared here. He knew the music style of China, and this song was indeed a great piece.
It's strange in itself for a musician to suddenly start singing in the style of a neighboring country.
Kim Ji-hoon had a guess in his mind, and he was sure that guess was correct.
Kim Ji-hoon's guess was indeed correct. The song Lu Ran chose for Shen Yuege this time was indeed a Korean song, but it was a Korean song from his previous life.
This is Lee Jung-hyun's "Wow". Anyone who experienced the ice rink era should know how popular this song was back then.
Back then, this song was undoubtedly number one in karaoke bars and ice rinks.
However, Lu Ran translated it into Chinese, and with his top-notch lyric writing skills, his adaptation was even better than the original.
As soon as Shen Yuege opened her mouth to sing a few lines, the atmosphere at the scene exploded.
The theme of this program was precisely this kind of contrast, and Shen Yuege brought out the full potential of this theme in just a few seconds.
At the same time, Shen Yuege also accompanied her singing with dance moves.
Actually, the dance moves for the song "Wow" aren't difficult, but they are very dynamic, especially for the audience who haven't seen Shen Yuege dance much before, who were particularly excited.
"My God! Shen Yuege can dance?!"
"That dance was so cool!"
"What the heck is this song?! It's so catchy!"
"I've already started swaying along!"
The live stream chat was flooded with messages like crazy:
"This is Shen Yuege??? Have I been possessed???"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream!"
"This style transformation is absolutely amazing! From a healing and soothing vibe to a queenly one!"
"This song is addictive! I've already started swaying to it!"
"What kind of divine song did Lu Ran write for her?!"
Even the audience and judges below the stage began to sway their bodies unconsciously to the rhythm.
Li Sheng's eyes were filled with uncontrollable admiration.
He originally thought that Shen Yuege would have a hard time breaking away from the conventional style for this theme and might get a low score, but he didn't expect Shen Yuege to make such a big change.
The other two judges were thinking similarly to Li Sheng, and they already had a score in mind to give.
On stage, Shen Yuege was completely in character.
At this moment, she was not just singing and dancing, but completely taking control of the stage.
Every glance and every movement of hers exudes a strong sense of confidence and presence.
As the last note faded, Shen Yuege struck a cool pose.
There was a three-second silence.
Then, applause, screams, and whistles erupted instantly, almost lifting the roof off.
Shen Yuege breathed slightly, looking at the cheering audience below the stage, a smile appeared on her lips.
It seems Lu Ran was right after all.
After Shen Yuege's performance, the atmosphere at the "Voice of the Peak" venue was ignited to its peak.
When the judges were scoring, Li Sheng gave a perfect score of 10 without hesitation.
"Yuege, tonight you showed me the infinite possibilities of a singer," Li Sheng said excitedly. "The arrangement of this song is extremely bold, blending electronic, dance music and even some other elements, but your singing perfectly mastered it."
"What's even more remarkable is your stage presence; I can only describe it as a complete transformation. The Chinese music scene needs this kind of breakthrough. In the future, you will be the queen of the Chinese music scene!"
It must be said that, as a veteran musician, Li Sheng gave her extremely high praise.
She's a queen of the music scene, a title that transcends mere diva status.
The other two judges shared almost the same opinion about Shen Yuege, both giving her a perfect score of 10.
When it came to the audience tickets, the score remained very high, with a total score of 9.97.
It has already surpassed Kim Ji-hoon's score of 9.92.
All the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Korean didn't succeed, and Shen Yuege held onto first place.
Upon seeing Shen Yuege's score, Jin Zhixun's face turned a deep, grim color.
He originally thought that Shen Yuege's so-called breakthrough was nothing more than changing her look, changing the arrangement, and changing her singing style—the same old routine.
But Shen Yuege's performance completely shattered his perception.
Furthermore, the song's arrangement, rhythm design, and even the style of its choreography were all too familiar to him.
This is clearly the iconic electronic dance music style of the peak of pop music, but it cleverly incorporates the characteristics of Chinese pronunciation, forming a novel variation.
"How is this possible!" Kim Ji-hoon stared at Shen Yuege on stage, muttering to himself, "How could a singer from China produce such a low-quality Korean song?"
He was already convinced that the song was probably plagiarized or borrowed from some little-known Korean work.
However, he hasn't found any evidence yet.
