Chapter 171: Ye Xingling's version of Caged Butterfly
Chapter 171 Ye Xingling’s version of the caged butterfly
“Oh oh oh, yes!”
Everyone nodded, yes, how could someone other than the late Queen Xia Ling sing a song like "Butterfly in the Cage" so well? The skills are high and the emotions required are too strong. Even just the words "The Queen's Legacy Song" can cause huge psychological pressure on the singer.
“Just choose this one!” someone said.
"But," someone else retorted, "choosing this song doesn't mean we are deliberately making things difficult for others?" Everyone knows that this song is not easy to sing. Although competition is competition, the meaning of this song to make things difficult for our opponents is too obvious. Anyone who asks his opponent to sing this song is too petty. Therefore, the "You Request and I Sing" session has gone on for several rounds, but no one has requested this song yet.
"If you let others sing, it would indeed be difficult, but now we let Ye Xingling sing." The person who suggested it said, "If Ye Xingling can sing Xia Ling's "Siren" well, she might be able to sing "The Siren" well. "Butterfly in a Cage", and I heard that she is a fan of Xia Ling. There will definitely be many people interested in hearing her sing this song. We are petitioning for the people. "
"That's right." Several people made a decision and elected representatives to the stage.
The representative was also a newly debuted singer named Mu Xiaoxi. At this time, she stood in front of Xia Ling, raised the microphone and said with a smile: "Hello, Ye Xingling, the song I want you to sing is "Butterfly in a Cage".
Xia Ling was almost dizzy: "What?"
""Butterfly in the Cage", I hope you can sing this song," Mu Xiaoxi said, "I heard that you are a fan of Xia Ling. Coincidentally, I am also a fan of Xia Ling. I have heard you sing her song That song "Siren" is so nice, so I guess you'd be good at singing "Caged Butterfly", so please."
The scene was in an uproar.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. "Butterfly in the Cage" is too difficult. It is the pinnacle of the singing skills and emotions of Queen Xia Ling in her life. Since its release, many professional and amateur players who have tried to cover it have failed one after another. Ji Ji, even now, as long as it covers the song "Cage Butterfly", it will inevitably attract a lot of ridicule and scolding.
Now, Mu Xiaoxi asks her opponent to sing this song. Isn't it too cruel?
However, the audience is really curious, will Ye Xingling, who can sing "Siren" well, sing "Caged Butterfly" well and bring a miracle to everyone?
The female host's eyes were bright, and she looked worried about the world being in chaos: "Mu Xiaoxi, are you sure?"
Mu Xiaoxi nodded quietly.
Xia Ling frowned slightly: "This song... I don't dare to blaspheme, can you change it to another one?" This is not the real reason. The real reason is that she never wants to sing this song again. This song was all she had in her previous life. It was a condensation of pain, too bloody, too dark, and born out of her most terrifying nightmare. She didn't know if she would lose control of her emotions once she sang again.
Mu Xiaoxi said seriously: "This is not blasphemy, it is another way to commemorate Xia Ling. Ye Xingling, aren't you also a fan of hers? Wouldn't it be good to do something for your idol? Moreover, it It’s on the playlist.”
This song is indeed on the playlist.
The annual song list of Xingyun Song Club is based on the range of participating singers and producers, and the works of all singers and music producers are within the selection range. For the first time in her life, Xia Ling agreed with Wei Shaoyin's point of view - Feng Kun was simply a disaster. Without him, "Caged Butterfly" would not be on this year's playlist.
The hostess smiled cunningly: "Mu Xiaoxi is right, this is not considered blasphemy. Songs are meant to be sung, Ye Xingling, don't you think so? But if you think that you If you can't compare to the dead queen, if you are not sure of singing well, you can automatically give up and admit defeat."
Her words were hidden in their words, which aroused Xia Ling's anger.
"I never think that I am inferior to anyone, even the dead queen." She said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent for a moment, and then, there were warm applause and boos at the same time——
“Well done Ye Xingling!”
“Tsk, make a fool of yourself and pretend to be fat!”
Various sounds linger in the ears for a long time.
The female host's smile is getting wider and wider. She is not afraid of conflicts and controversy when making a show, but she is afraid that it will not be popular. At this moment, the fierce reaction of the audience makes her even more energetic. "Ye Xingling," she said immediately after finally waiting for the crowd to calm down a little, "it seems that everyone is looking forward to you singing this song, how about you sing a song for us? You see, your points don't count either "Fang Yu," she said, turning to look at the big screen, "Your current points are 3658. Although you are temporarily ranked first among all the newcomers this year, the gap between you and Xia Yu, who is second, is very small. If you give up, not only will you not earn points, but you will also be deducted 500 points, and your ranking will fall behind Xia Yu. Can you bear it? "The female host asked passionately. The microphone in his hand was pointed at the audience.
Countless spectators shouted excitedly: “I can’t bear it!”
“Ye Xingling, the butterfly in the cage!”
“Ye Xingling, the butterfly in the cage!”
…
The atmosphere was completely aroused.
Xia Ling felt a little dizzy, as if this huge wave had surrounded her, leaving her unaware of where she was. Is it anemia, or did I not sleep well last night? She was swaying, and managed to take a few deep breaths before she could stand still amid the huge noise. She was not feeling well, and she didn't know how long she could last on stage, so she had to make a quick decision.
"Okay, I'll sing "Caged Butterfly" and we can start." She said quickly.
The female host showed a satisfied expression and encouraged and praised her. Seeing that her goal was achieved, Mu Xiaoxi also cheered her up. Xia Ling endured the discomfort and watched them leave.
She was the only one left on the huge stage.
The lights dimmed, and blue-purple mist slowly rose in all directions, like a dream.
She heard the melody of "Butterfly in the Cage" flowing like water, full of reminiscence and sad prelude, layer upon layer, looping back and forth... The beginning alone seemed to be tapping into the depths of people's hearts...
Feng Kun is indeed a top producer in the industry.
She felt it, raised the microphone, and closed her eyes slightly. Although she had heard Feng Kun's composition for "Butterfly in the Cage" before, it felt different when she actually sang along with it.
So familiar...
It was like an old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, using music to greet her gently.
With longing, sadness, understanding, regret and sorrow for her...but I also know her rhythm well and match her singing. Although it was the first time for Xia Ling to sing along with this accompaniment, she performed it perfectly, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times before.
Long time no see, old partner.
Her head was still a little dizzy, as if she was in a dream of the past, and she sang softly: "If/we had never met that year..."
With this lyrics, the sour and tingling feeling spreads.
“Will the ending/will be different…”
The second sentence came out, the feeling of heartache became more intense, and I could hardly breathe.
