I fell from grace at the top, and only then did the system respond?

"What's Wang Mo's number?"

"For this question, it doesn't matter how many numbers you draw."

"Look at Kristiff, he's so happy."

"And Natalie and Brooke, both of them also have joy in their eyes."

"This is their only chance to beat Wang Mo in a regular match. Can you be unhappy?"

When the four instructors came on stage to draw lots to determine the order in which the contestants would appear, the audience was already discussing heatedly.

However, most of them were feeling sorry for Wang Mo.

Some people even sighed: "With Wang Mo's ability, there is a high probability that he can create an unprecedented miracle on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams" and achieve six consecutive victories, and six crushing victories. It's a pity. He was so unlucky in the last round that he got such a question.”

The instructors changed the topic without the audience knowing.

So everyone thought it was luck.

When everyone is discussing.

The results of the drawing of lots by the four instructors on the stage have already come out.

No. 1, Kristiff.

No. 2, Brooke.

No. 3, Wang Mo.

Number 4, Natalie.

"Good luck to you all."

After the host Nick said a word, he gave up the stage.

Kristiff held the No. 1 ball and said with a smile: "I am No. 1, then I will let the players on my team show their shame."

talking.

He returned to his seat.

On the stage, a man wearing a blue shirt, jeans, a belt and a denim buckle around his waist and a pair of extremely dazzling riding boots soon appeared.

"It's a cowboy from the West."

"So handsome."

"Handsome man."

Many girls saw the man's dress and shouted in surprise.

Even Wang Mo raised his eyebrows. Judging from his clothes, the contestant on stage was a typical North American western cowboy, exuding a rough and free atmosphere.

The man said with a thick Western accent: "Hello everyone, my name is Morris, and I would like to dedicate "Heart on a High" to everyone."

"Heart on a High", whose Chinese name is "Heart is Flying", is a classic country song that has been circulated internationally for more than 20 years.

So after hearing the name, many in the audience became excited.

"The battle song of the Western cowboy!"

"No wonder this player is dressed like this. This song was written for the cowboys."

"I like this song the most."

"..."

The audience was very excited.

Soon, Morris began singing:

“Out on the open road the sun is shining bright
Fields of golden wheat wave in the summer breeze
My heart is skipping beats, as if it's taking flight
Up into the sky, a bird without a leash”

The melodious singing attracts the ears almost instantly and makes people feel comfortable.

"What a voice!"

Wang Mo secretly admired that a singer with such a voice would most likely only be mastered by someone who has truly lived in the western prairie.

The brisk melody and pure lyrics show the spectacular western scenery.

Morris' singing voice with an accent also sang out his love and yearning for the natural scenery.

"Singing so well!"

"sounds amazing."

"Although it has been adapted, it still has a very different flavor from the original song."

"Yes, it sounds better than the original song."

“It’s so exciting!”

After a few minutes, Morris's performance ended.

The audience burst into applause.

Even Morris himself smiled broadly. He was originally a child who grew up in the western prairie, and it was easy for him to sing such country songs.

Originally, he was going to sing jazz songs today, but that was not his strength. And under the pressure of Wang Mo's outstanding performance in the previous rounds, Morris thought he was finished.

Unexpectedly, before taking the stage, his instructor Kristiff told him that the title of the competition would be changed to a country song.

This time, Morris was overjoyed.

When it comes to singing country songs, he is sure that he can compete with even second- and third-tier international stars!
What luck!
This time, he will crush everyone! He wants to experience everyone!

With his confidence exploding, he performed perfectly in his performance just now.

Morris even fantasized that after this episode was broadcast, he could become as popular as the Geminis, Su Xueyao and Hao Mingxing in Blue Star overnight.

Of course, Morris isn't the only one who thinks so.

At the instructor's table, Kristiff also showed a satisfied expression.

Natalie on the side praised: "Christophe, you are a really good contestant. He almost blended into the song of a Western cowboy perfectly."

Brooke nodded: "Indeed, this player has solid skills and is worth training."

Even Wang Mo gave a thumbs up: "Classic."

Before this, Wang Mo had almost never praised other players, so as soon as his praise came out, Kristiff's face almost turned into a smile: "Thank you, thank you."

Next comes voting.

Soon, the votes came out.

This time, Kristiff smiled even brighter.

83 votes!
Although this number of votes is far from comparable to Fu Zhuang's more than 90 votes just now, this number of votes is still high even if it is placed on the stage of previous "Voice of Dreams".

"Congratulations."

"congratulations."

"..."

Hearing the congratulations from the other instructors, Kristiff felt almost elated.

……

Then came the second contestant, the singer from Team Brooke.

The singer is a girl with a country flavor. The girl is blond and has a little baby fat on her face. She is wearing a white plaid dress and her eyes are clear and bright.

"My name is Suzanne, and today I'm going to sing "The Streetlight of Home."

After a few simple words, the girl stood quietly and started singing.

"In the dusk of a weary day,

I find solace in the glow of a lamp.
It shines bright, a beacon in the night,

Guiding me back to where my heart belongs.”

This song is also a classic country song.

However, the style is very different from "Heart is Flying". This song "Street Light Going Home" expounds a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the countryside.

Susanna's voice is clear and sweet, flowing in the hearts of every listener.

Her eyes shone with determination, like the street light going home, always bright, always warm, always shining in the direction of her home.

Wang Mo's eyelids jumped slightly when he heard this: "No wonder Brooke and the other three look so confident. It seems that this question is really their strength. The cowboy brother just sang very well. This girl on the stage is also not inferior. With this kind of singing skills and this kind of performance, it is probably no problem to get more than 80 votes.

Not under Morris.

only……"

Think of this.

Wang Mo glanced at the three high-spirited instructors and suddenly felt unbearable.

Do you want to remind the other party not to get complacent so early?

Sometimes, the higher the heart beats, the harder it falls.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea.

After all, based on the confidence and excitement of the three of them at the moment, it is probably useless for them to say anything.

You should just wait patiently.

on the stage.

After Susanna finished singing, as expected, the whole house cheered again.

"The sound is so beautiful."

"It sounds really good."

"It completely fits my fantasy of a beautiful country song."

"It's on par with Morris's performance just now."

"I still want to hear it."

"..."

Amid the praise from the audience, Susanna walked off the stage in a satisfied mood. It was obvious that she was also very satisfied with her performance just now.

Based on the reaction of the audience at this moment, she is sure that her final vote count will exceed 80 votes. If she is lucky, she may even get more than 85 votes.

really.

After the audience finished voting and the number of 82 votes appeared on the big screen, Susanna showed a surprised smile.

Although it was only one vote less than Morris, she was satisfied.

As a mentor, Brooke is also very satisfied with Suzanne's performance.

at last.

Finally, their three mentors finally saw the sunshine!
The three of them, who were superstars at the top of the music industry, were actually beaten by Wang Mo, a man who was not inferior to the music industry. God knows how aggrieved they felt before.

But at this moment, this frustration finally dissipated.

Although it was only a victory, it at least gave them hope and restored their confidence.

As long as they have this hearty victory, they can make reasonable use of the rules in the next games to win more games. Suppressed the throbbing heart.

The three finally returned to reality.

Kristiff glanced at Wang Mo and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, your players will come on stage next. You haven't prepared any secret weapons to give us a crushing victory, right?"

Hey!
This is so hypocritical.

Obviously, Kristiff said this with ridicule.

Natalie also smiled slightly: "Christophe, you don't mean what you said. Mr. Wang and his contestants are all Chinese, but this round is about country music, so we have some advantages."

Wang Mo nodded to Natalie, and then said with a smile: "There is no such thing as taking advantage, everyone is playing fair. Anyway, I have tried my best, as long as my players can perform to the level they should."

"That's right!"

Brooke gave a thumbs up: "What I admire most is your attitude, Mr. Wang. When faced with any difficulties, you will not complain or be frustrated, but will face the difficulties... Then, here, I first wish your players Get good results in the next competition.”

"Lend your blessings."

Wang Mo raised his eyebrows and responded.

At the same time, he looked towards the stage.

The third player to appear is Cao Bin!
At the same time, the audience also started talking.

"Contestant Wang Mo will be on stage soon."

"Oh, how can this compare?"

"Chinese singers sing North American country music? Why do you think it's so inconsistent?"

"The key is that the first two players performed so well."

"I admit that Wang Mo and his players are very strong, so strong that I admire them. But country songs only belong to North American songs, and no one can sing its taste and artistic conception except them. Anyway, it's hard for me to imagine that a What does it look like when Chinese people sing North American country songs?”

"And Wang Mo definitely can't write authentic North American country music. It's not that he's not good enough, it's that the environment has created this impossibility."

"..."

Amidst the noise, Cao Bin had already stepped onto the field.

"what?"

"This is?"

"Ouch."

"he!"

In an instant, the audience screamed in surprise again and again.

Apparently he was still shocked by Cao Bin's appearance on stage.

Because Cao Bin at this moment was very different from the other contestants on stage. He walked to the stage alone holding a guitar and a stool in his right hand.

After putting down his stool, Cao Bin held his guitar and bowed deeply to the audience.

He is in his forties and has a calm expression and calm eyes.

"Guitar playing and singing?"

"Oh! God!"

"What song is he going to sing?"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice: "Aren't you going to sing country ballads?"

In China, there are Chinese folk songs.

In Europe, there are European folk songs.

In North America, of course, there are also folk songs that belong only to them.

Country ballads are the most famous!
It is a type of country music, but it has more country characteristics than songs that incorporate many other styles and types, outlining the unique country music culture of North America.

Its most striking feature is its guitar playing and singing.

However, this kind of ballad is also the most difficult to sing well.

Therefore, the two contestants who took the stage in front did not sing country ballads, but chose ordinary country songs with the smoothest flow.

But no one thought that with this attitude, Cao Bin might actually want to sing country ballads?

"Don't worry, maybe it's just a gimmick."

"Yes, you don't necessarily have to play the guitar to hold it. It may be a fake prop."

"He sang country ballads, and that was outrageous."

however.

The next second, Cao Bin spoke: "Hello everyone, my name is Cao Bin, and I come to China. Next, I will bring you a country ballad "Traveling Light" by Teacher Wang Mo. I hope you like it."

Really a country ballad!
In an instant, the scene was boiling.

"impossible?"

"how come?"

"he?"

"Oh my God! A Chinese is going to sing North American country folk songs! It's a new song!!!"

"I exploded."

Tutor's seat.

The smile on Kristiff's face suddenly became stiff, and his eyes widened: "This..."

Natalie covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Brooke almost thought he was delusional.

They were still sure that Cao Bin's performance would be poor just now, but they didn't expect that before the competition started, Cao Bin actually chose the most difficult folk song among country songs.

Even Su Xueyao and Hao Mingxing, who were watching the game backstage, showed shocked expressions.

But Ye Yuanhang soon spoke: "It's not surprising. In your subconscious mind, Brother Bin still thinks that he is this type of singer when he sang "Digital Life" and "Hard to Recite Sutra". ? But no, in fact, Brother Bin is best at rock and folk songs. Not only Chinese folk songs, but he also studies all folk songs from all over the world. Only after meeting Brother Mo did he focus on high-level music. Songwise. But when it comes to ballads, he’s not weak at all.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Ye Yuanhang wanted to say something else, but found that Cao Bin on the stage had already started singing.

He stopped talking and motioned for everyone to watch the show.

On the stage.

Cao Bin was sitting on a stool, and the large screen in the background suddenly turned into an endless grassland. On the grassland, a pickup truck was speeding.

A breath of western scenery rushed towards me.

Along with this impact, Cao Bin played the guitar.

The light and melodious guitar melody came out from his fingertips, with a smell of freshness and freedom in the air. Together with the speeding cars in the background, many people felt relaxed and inexplicably happy.

"interesting."

Kristiff suppressed the turmoil in his heart and nodded secretly.

As a native of North America and a godfather-level figure in today's music scene, he has a special affection for country folk songs, so when the guitar just sounded, his expression was a little dazed.

Then the singing started.

“I was doubling over the load on my shoulders
There used to be a huge burden on my shoulders, which made me overwhelmed
was a weight I carried with me everyday
Every day I feel so heavy that it’s hard to get rid of it!

Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers of raging
Passing through thorns and setbacks, wading through countless furious torrents."

Cao Bin's voice is magnetic and fully expresses his maturity at his age. The lyrics are not at all immature and immature of young singers, but have a sense of vicissitudes of history.

"Singing well."

Kristiff nodded again.

Although the lyrics at the beginning were a bit heavy, Cao Bin's singing did not seem to bring people into depth, but instead had a strange sense of relief.

Even hearing this kind of singing made Kristiff feel inexplicably happy.

It was a kind of tranquility after experiencing the storm.

It is also a kind of pleasure that comes after overcoming obstacles and reaching the end of victory.

"I staggered and I stumbled down
I'm stumbling along the way, bumpy road ahead
pathways of trouble I was
Go through this troublesome journey!
hauling those souvenirs of misery
All the painful and unfortunate memories keep me reeling.”

Kristiff finally understood why a middle-aged man sang this song on stage.

Because the lyrics contain the story of a person who found himself after going through many twists and turns. How can ordinary young people sing the artistic conception of this kind of song?
Only middle-aged people who have smoothed their edges and corners through the beatings and tempers of life can sing the kind of indifference and relief in the song.

At this moment.

I saw that the picture on the stage background screen was at dusk.

The car was speeding on the endless prairie, facing the golden sunset. The impact of the world almost blending into one almost made everyone intoxicated.

"So beautiful."

"Oh, God!"

"Bubblingly beautiful."

"I would like to stay there for the rest of my life."

"This is the most perfect fantasy in the countryside."

The audience exclaimed in low voices one after another.

Kristiff also fell into despair.

Listening to the song and watching the beautiful sunset, he felt like he was immersed in the tranquility of the years and didn't want to wake up.

"I laid my burdens down, Now I'm traveling light
I have lifted my burden and now I will move forward lightly
My spirit lifted high(I found my freedom now)
I'm high-spirited (I found my freedom)

I found my freedom now, And I'm traveling light
Now I am finally free and I will move forward lightly."

The singing lost its initial heaviness and became lighter and lighter.

Cao Bin's playing and singing also touched the soul more and more, as if at this moment he had put aside all his worries and sorrows, and just wanted to move forward alone and lightly!
Why worry about life?
Why suffer from setbacks and difficulties?
Release your heart, let your own brilliance bloom, let yourself abandon the burden, and embark on the road of freedom, then you will find that life is so wonderful.

The expression on Kristiff's face became increasingly soothing.

He looked at the golden sunset on the big screen and listened to the wonderful music.

In a daze, he had the illusion that life was enough. I even thought that after a while, I would leave all my work behind and take a light trip like this.

"Comfortable."

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The singing was still soaring, making him feel better and better.

He forgot his identity as a mentor, and also his mentality of wanting to see player Wang Mo lose miserably.

At this moment, he had long forgotten all about these things.

Kristiff was just immersed in the singing, enjoying the spiritual touch brought by the song. (End of chapter)
