With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

That night, the first episode of "The Voice of China" aired.

The show begins with a lively scene at the audition site.

The audience's interest was immediately piqued, and they all called their families over:

"Mom! Come quick! That hilarious singing competition is starting!"

"The one with the guy who sings off-key?"

"Yes! Come quickly, or you'll miss it again!"

"Her dad, bring over the peanuts and melon seeds! This stuff is even better than a Spring Festival Gala skit!"

In countless families, this scene is playing out, with everyone eagerly anticipating seeing the oddball make a fool of themselves.

But the first thing that appeared on TV was the host of the audition program.

A young and pretty girl, microphone in hand, moved through the audition venue, showing everyone the lively atmosphere and providing commentary:

"Welcome to the audition for 'The Voice of China'!"

"The Voice of China is a singing talent competition program that aims to open a door to success for singing enthusiasts. Our slogan is 'Where there's a dream, anything is possible!'"

After a brief introduction, it was time for the actual on-site proceedings.

One by one, young men and women stood in front of the judges, showcasing their singing talents.

The judges either frowned, smiled, or nodded.

Some judges offered professional advice in a tactful manner and provided careful guidance, which greatly benefited the contestants.

Some judges gave harsh criticism, pointing out the shortcomings in the contestants' singing skills, and their words were so strong that they made the contestants cry.

Some judges love to look good, constantly flipping their hair and striking poses;

Some judges like to showcase their singing skills, singing the contestant's chorus directly when giving guidance...

Leaving aside the contestants, the judges alone are enough to keep everyone entertained for a while!

The contestants were all different; some sang really well, and even their a cappella performances were particularly captivating.

But some of them are really awful, so much so that even the judges can't stand them.

"Isn't that the guy who sings off-key? He's here!"

"Quick, quick, turn the TV volume up!"

"Sister with the lisp is out too! Come and see!"

"And there's the rapper!"

"Quick, quick, the kebab maker is about to start!"

The audition scenes of each of the quirky contestants were broadcast without reservation!

The guy who sings off-key is completely off-key; the girl with a lisp can't pronounce words clearly; the rapper's rapid-fire delivery is so bad that nobody can understand what he's saying...

The most interesting one was the kebab guy, who actually sang an original song:

"Lamb skewers, beef skewers, my grilled meat skewers! I guarantee you'll enjoy them!"

The audience was absolutely thrilled!

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore!"

"I've seen people sing off-key before, but I've never seen anyone sing this off-key! The tune is way off to the heavens!"

"Is this woman going to bite off her tongue while she's singing?"

"Can anyone tell me what this guy is muttering like he's chanting a mantra?"

"You know what, the guy with the kebabs really has an artist's vibe with his hair!"

"Does anyone know where he sets up his stall? I have to go and try his food tomorrow!"

After the initial excitement, the program suddenly became serious again. In the makeshift studio, staff helped the off-key singer put on a wireless microphone, and he asked nervously, "So I can just say whatever comes to mind?"

The director outside laughed and said, "Yes, let's just say what we mean."

The audience was stunned:

"What, there's even an interview with him here?"

"Seriously? He sang like that, and they still did an exclusive interview with him?"

"This is really unusual!"

Out of curiosity, people stared intently at the screen, reluctant to leave, wanting to see what the TV station would say about such a contestant!

"What prompted you to sign up for 'The Voice of China'?" the director asked.

"I...I really love singing, really," the off-key guy said shyly.

“When I was seven, my mom died of illness. My dad cried every day, he stopped working and stopped caring about the family. I couldn’t do anything, so I sang to him to cheer him up, but it didn’t work. Then one time I sang off-key, and my dad laughed. From then on, I would deliberately sing off-key every time I sang, and my dad would smile more and more. I was so happy! Then, as I kept singing, I couldn’t stop…”

As he spoke, the off-key guy reminisced, and eventually, tears welled up in his eyes.

The audience was completely stunned.

So, behind this guy's funny singing style, there's a heartbreaking story?

The emotional audience members immediately wiped away their tears.

"Is the guy who sings off-key really that pitiful?"

"I can picture it in my mind—in a dilapidated house, a seven-year-old boy deliberately sings an off-key song to cheer his father up..."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm about to burst into tears!"

"Who said the guy who sings off-key is laughable? He's so pitiful, how can you laugh at him?"

Suddenly, opinions about the off-key guy changed dramatically!

The people at Yuting Culture were stunned!

"No way? The show can do that?"

"A singing competition program that doesn't broadcast the competition but the auditions, doesn't broadcast the singing but the contestants' life experiences?"

"Can we still play like this?"

"Turning the ugly into the beautiful, and the funny into the tear-jerking?"

Originally, after hearing Zhuo Tao's words, they were no longer very interested in the popularity of "The Voice of China" and didn't take it too seriously.

But after watching this episode, they immediately became nervous!

Because they themselves think it looks good!

As rivals, they actually wanted to keep watching to see if other oddballs also had different thought processes!

Is this still available?

At that moment, the TV broadcast a video of the off-key singer performing for his father at home.

The father on the screen had white hair and a weathered face, his face etched with the stories of sorrow, yet he smiled happily at his son's off-key singing.

The dilapidated little house, the white-haired father, and the off-key, comical singing voice created a stark contrast, making everyone no longer find the singing laughable.

On the contrary, people found the singing voice exceptionally lovely!

In front of the screens, countless children shed tears, and countless parents choked with sobs!

This is not over yet.

Then, interviews with the "Big Tongue Sister," "Rapping Brother," and "Barbecue Brother" were released.

The woman with the lisp is actually a patient with primary macroglossia. She was even unable to speak normally when she was a child. It was through more than ten years of continuous practice that she overcame the difficulties, learned to speak normally, and even sing!

Rapper Ge has had a stutter since childhood. Encouraged by his mother, he started practicing speaking quickly in hopes of improving his stutter. He came to "The Voice of China" to surprise his mother.

The barbecue vendor comes from a poor mountain area. After finishing junior high school, he started working to support his family, determined to get rid of poverty. Finally, he opened a barbecue shop on his own and settled down in a big city like Linhai.

These people all have touching or inspirational stories; none of them are just plain ugly people causing trouble!

Upon seeing these, the audience was moved to tears!

At this moment, the host appeared on the screen and said emotionally:

"Behind every ordinary person lies an extraordinary story, but most people can only see the surface and not the laughter and tears hidden behind it. 'The Voice of China' aims to provide these people with a platform. Even if this platform cannot turn them into dazzling stars, it can at least let their stories be known to everyone and give more ordinary people the opportunity to become extraordinary!"

"That's so good!"

Countless viewers nodded vigorously in front of their televisions, expressing their heartfelt approval!
