The most exciting news in the music world recently is that Xu Huaiyu is returning to the Rolling Stones. It is said that not only new works have been produced, but variety shows and performances are also on the agenda.
Even if the youth of the "post-80s" and "post-90s" are crowded, there will definitely be a place for this cute millennial girl who debuted singing " I am a girl ". At that time, Xu Huaiyu and Ren Xianqi were the "Public King" and the other was the "Public Queen". Now that Xiao Qi has "overcame all obstacles", will she continue to "ride the wind and waves" and become the next Wang Xinling to come back?
The "Queen" is back
She has been riding the wind and waves for the past 24 years
In the past, the highest praise for a powerful female artist with 40+ idols might be "I will definitely buy tickets for her concert", but now, it has become "I will definitely vote for her to participate in "Sister Lang"."
Of course, there is an implicit meaning in this statement: you are just a memory, but you are indeed "passed". So it's no wonder that Xu Huaiyu has been on the rumored list of "Sister Lang" every season. She is simply perfect.
In today’s terms, Xu Huaiyu was the “crape myrtle star descended from the sky” at the turn of the century. She emerged as a youthful and playful girl idol before she was 20 years old. She was dubbed the "Public Queen" just one year after her debut.
Since then, there has never been a diva-level singer at such a young age in the Chinese music scene.
However, good luck is short-lived.
After the flourishing girlhood, Xu Huaiyu faced lawsuits and snow. The high liquidated damages and overwhelming slander made her breathless. She was depressed and lost weight for a while. She gritted her teeth and prepared to start again. Her place in the entertainment industry had long since disappeared.
You may not have much impression, but Xu Huaiyu did hold concerts again in 2015, and is also working hard to accept variety shows and commercial performances to maintain exposure and livelihood.
In 2020, she also sang the episode of the movie "Jianye 2". Many people felt that her singing style had changed after listening to it, but most of them were relieved: It's great, she is still singing.
Today, Xu Huaiyu, who was born in 1978, is over 40, but still maintains a youthful and energetic figure. He shares his healthy meals and fashion at airports and high-speed rail stations on social media.
is in such good shape and has enough memory to kill. It would be a waste not to come back. Fortunately, this time, Xu Huaiyu teamed up with his old club, the Rolling Stones. Anyone who has experienced that era will never forget the brilliance they created together 24 years ago.
She was at her peak after her debut.
How many of her songs can you sing?
html Xu Huaiyu, who became famous at a young age, is a typical girl with a small stature but great energy. Because her family was poor, she had been working part-time since high school, and she took on the burden of taking care of her younger siblings early on.There are always people who will be rewarded by God, and Xu Huaiyu is the same.
Although she did not have a professional background and did not even receive any vocal training, Qianlima always met Bole. When music producer Weng Xiaoliang heard Xu Huaiyu humming Lin Yilian's "Don't Care Who I Am" while hanging clothes on the balcony, he immediately signed her to Rolling Stone Records.
Xu Huaiyu quickly proved that he was indeed pregnant with the uncut jade.
In 1998, she released an EP and two albums in a row, each of which was re-released. She became the first singer to sell over a million copies of her first album in Taiwan after Zhang Huimei .
Everyone misses Xu Huaiyu during the Rolling Stones era precisely because of those popular hits of the era. So, why not let us turn back time and review her five albums from 1998 to 2001 to relive her classic melodies that have always echoed in our youth.
"Don't look at me like this
My face will turn into a red apple
Don't look like Koala is pestering me
I don’t want to be friends with you yet”
Although it seems a little middle-class now, which girl has not sang the resounding “I am a girl” with Xu Huaiyu?
, the title song from her first album of the same name, is also her first masterpiece. Shy yet generous, cool yet sweet, this song that describes the beginning of love has conquered boys and girls in the streets.
Later, this song was sung countless times by countless people in countless places, but no one could sing it again with the naughty and soaring style that uniquely belonged to Xu Huaiyu.
"There are monsters. There are monsters. There are monsters. Haunting me.
There are monsters. Big monsters. Ugly monsters. Stick to me
Eat one bite after another
My life was originally very happy"
In Xu Huaiyu's second album " rush forward ", you can find many works that transcend the times, such as "Monster".
Many young girls will be surprised to find that they are sharing the inner thoughts of those "peers" 20 years ago: "Do you want to pierce your ears or not (it's my ears), make a few friends (it's me who have more time), and just direct traffic if you are so enthusiastic. Why should I?" No matter how red your lipstick is (I don’t want it to kiss me), who you date, who you hold hands with, you can talk about it, anyway, I have never listened carefully.” Xu Huaiyu loudly ridiculed those opinions that are too Western and too Eastern, comparing them to pestering monsters, chasing freedom freely and freely.
"You are my angel
I am happy when I see you
One Two Three Wooden Man
Don't stay in bed and go to school to play games"
is lively, dynamic and full of imagination. Through the title lyrics of the third album "Angel", it seems that you have seen the laughter and mischief on campus.
It is worth mentioning that from 20 years ago to the present, "Angel" has been one of the "royal songs" for aerobics from kindergarten to high school. From this perspective, who says Xu Huaiyu is just the Xu Huaiyu of the "post-80s" and "post-90s"? She was also in the childhoods of the "post-00s" and "post-10s"!
"The rain is falling
Flying in the sky are my tears
Tears hanging low
Hanging in the palm of my hand is your aftertaste"
Making people happy is something Xu Huaiyu has come to know easily. In her fourth album "LOVE", she still presented dance-machine songs like "Treading the Waves".
This album is also the beginning of her style becoming richer and more diverse. The newly added sentimental love song "Flying Apart" has become one of the most popular works. To this day, "Fei Fei" is still my dad's favorite song in KTV. Xu Huaiyu is not just an idol for boys and girls, but a well-deserved "Queen" who has conquered all ages in a true sense.
"Some people say that you must speak appropriately.
Some people say that you must pay attention to your posture.
Some people say that youth is no longer popular.
Some people say "Beauty cannot rely on self-confidence"
In 2001, 23-year-old Xu Huaiyu entered the Rolling Stones' Magic Rock Records. She turned to maturity with short hair. The fifth album "Miss Right" became the one in which she participated the most, and she became more sexy and full of musicianship.
From Chen Shanni In the first hit "Miss Perfect" written by Xu Huaiyu, you can hardly hear the traces of the times. Xu Huaiyu, who inevitably encounters negative news after becoming popular, will take the disdain of shaping the so-called "perfect woman" lightly.
's artistic quality, lazy mood, and even the connotation of focusing on independence and self-reliance still appear to be high-end today. However, perhaps because of this, the popularity of this album is far lower than the previous ones, but this transformed Xu Huaiyu also allows people to see growth and surprises.
"See you again. I'm still the same me
I've never given up. I'm walking and groping.
Maybe no matter how hard I try, it's not enough.
I've loved desperately. Injuries are nothing."
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, "Miss" Right" became Xu Huaiyu and the Rolling Stones' last album. In 2002, she left after her contract expired, and her career took a turn for the worse. In 2007, the market for "BAD GIRL" was cold, contract disputes ensued, and she even had to rely on fans to help her when she was down.
The "diva" has returned to being a "civilian", working behind the scenes and as an assistant. Although the golden voice of the generation has not been on the mic, she has never appeared on the big stage again. This is the most regrettable thing.
Fortunately, the soul that longs to sing will not be content with silence. In 2015, Xu Huaiyu released a new single "I'm Still the Same Me". Her voice is still pure, fresh and high-pitched, just as it was when we first heard it all these years later.
Even though he cried "I regret being a singer" because of the hardships of life, after wiping away his tears, Xu Huaiyu mustered up the courage to start over. From 2015 to 2022, spanning 7 years, Xu Huaiyu, now 44 years old, is about to start his journey again.
GEN Y to GEN Z
She is still a trendy girl
Xu Huaiyu's singing can always affect our mood. At the same time, she has a face with strong emotions, stubbornness that cannot be erased between her eyebrows and eyes, and her bright smile and vivid expression make her look quirky.
htmlAt the beginning of the 3rd century, when the music scene became popular, she did not forget to develop in a variety of places. The carp spirit Xiaolian who dared to love and hate in "Legend of Heaven and Earth Fish Beauty" has become an indelible memory for us."Legend of Heaven and Earth Fish Beauty"
Speaking of style, Y2K is now back in fashion. When GEN Z girls look back at the millennium fashion, they will not miss Xu Huaiyu, a trendy girl of Generation Y. In addition to music, she also has a unique visual style.
Let's start from the "head".
Xu Huaiyu always has a popular hairstyle in every album look: an alien-style updo and a vibrant braid, all of which vividly demonstrate the boldness and unrestrictedness of a girl.
In addition to the eclectic look on her head, she also frequently wears bright-colored tube tops to reveal her small waist. She then puts on a solid-color jacket and low-waisted trousers, perfectly capturing the millennial hottie style.
In album photos and concerts, a bright green jumpsuit paired with an eye-catching wide-brimmed belt, or a black and red leather split suit, are all bold and pioneering future styles.
If the album look and stage makeup are not ordinary enough, Xu Huaiyu also used short suspenders and trousers to demonstrate a more casual style. Plain black and white paired with candy-colored trousers, or eye-catching rose pink paired with denim , there is always something about the body that needs to "stand out".
Perhaps you have discovered that Xu Huaiyu’s other frequently featured item is the thick-soled shoes , and when combined with the enthusiastic Barbie fans, they form a classic representative of Y2K.
There is no need to go into details about how popular Barbie fans are this year. Xu Huaiyu of Generation Y would probably be at the forefront of the trend now.
is already living in the millennium from head to toe, how can we not continue to add some accessories to add a little more sophistication?
Well, Xu Huaiyu has already stretched out her hand. Colorful acrylic rings are concave-shaped tools, and they are a little fun that you can’t get enough of in vintage stores. Wearing it on all five fingers may not be a big deal, but it certainly captures the essence of Y2K.
"The waves on the sea are blooming, so I came to the beach." When the GEN Z girls were chasing the popular trend, they finally discovered that Xu Huaiyu was already a high-profile wave rider.
Times have changed, and it is almost impossible to hope that Xu Huaiyu can recreate his glory 20 years ago. Fortunately, we do not have such blind expectations. In fact, being able to see these people in their youth still accompanying us and hearing their singing again is enough to make those little dreams hidden in the commonplace of the world shine again.
looks forward to their return, isn’t it to fulfill our own wishes?
