In Hunan Satellite TV's 2017 "Singer" finals "Battle of the Singer King", diva duo Lin Yilian and Zhang Huimei sang " Maybe Tomorrow " to help Lin Yilian win the title of singer king. After the competition, many media outlets praised the song performed by the diva group that night for its heavenly sound and excellent singing. Many people also followed the trend and praised this song as the best version.
I like the song "Maybe Tomorrow" very much, and Lin Yilian and Zhang Huimei are both singers I admire very much. However, after listening to Lin Yilian and Zhang Huimei sing this song that night, not only did I not feel anything, but I felt a little lost and disappointed. Maybe it's because my expectations are too high: Lin Yilian and Zhang Huimei's first lines of singing each made me unable to enter the artistic conception, and Lin Yilian's slender voice and Zhang Huimei's hoarse voice didn't blend well (I don't know if it's because of their age) Their explosion in the climax was far lower than my expectations. In addition, too much use and random adaptation of to greatly affected the tone and mood of the song. This makes me miss and admire Yao Beina's version of "Maybe Tomorrow" even more.
Yao Beina's singing voice goes from virtual to real (the breath sound in the front part is virtual, the real voice in the middle part is real, and the climax mixed sound is strengthened, which is more in line with the artistic conception and emotional tone of the lyrics), with strong contrast (in line with the ups and downs of emotions), layer by layer Propulsion (rich layers: in conjunction with the increase in pitch, continuous adjustments and changes in volume, resonance, etc., to fully demonstrate the character’s confusion, hesitation, indulgence, struggle, despair, expectations, etc.), climax explosion (with ease of high notes, strong resonance, The angry voice screams for the future, which is very shocking), and the choking ending (the ending of the combination of weeping sound and breathy sound makes the fatigue and pain of the struggle even more heart-wrenching). This kind of smooth singing conveys the artistry to the deepest feelings. It makes people feel that people are in the song, and the song follows the person, "people and songs become one"!
During Yao Beina's singing, I have been affected by her singing. All kinds of emotions are rolling in my heart. Even I, who have always been picky when listening to music (maybe it is my professional habit as a vocal teacher), can't help but sigh and shed tears. ——The shock and touch are still vivid in my memory!
