On stage.
Su Yu quietly looked at the audience.
The cheers in his ears were like thunder.
The anger from being interrupted earlier had disappeared. Although he knew someone had done it intentionally, it no longer mattered.
Because of this incident, he had a deeper understanding of singers.
The live performance was indeed immersive, but it also carried many risks. A good singer not only had to manage the live audience but, more importantly, master the rhythm of the performance.
Even if the atmosphere that had been painstakingly created was suddenly broken by cheers, a mature singer needed not anger, but to use their voice and the emotions in the song to quickly draw the audience back in.
This incident also made him finally understand a unique aspect of the Chinese music scene.
In fact, after years of refinement, Chinese love songs could absolutely rival those of any country.
Because these love songs contained the Chinese people's own views on love, their own values, and their unique subtlety and emotional understanding.
This was the most distinctive characteristic of the Chinese music scene!
…
"I still prefer Ting Yu singing sad love songs; I just like this flavor."
"Honestly, while the Chinese music scene's rock and rap might not be as strong as other countries, in terms of love songs, it's truly formidable. And the unique pronunciation of Cantonese is definitely the best way to sing love songs!"
"I have a premonition that Ting Yu's 'Under Mount Fuji' will definitely promote the distinctive style of Chinese love songs to the world!"
"I just like this melancholic vibe; this is authentic love song material!"
"This song by Ting Yu is not just a sad love song; I'm already looking forward to what music critics will say about it."
"The emotion in the latter half made me truly understand what a singer is. In short, Ting Yu's vocal skills have reached an unimaginable level, even surpassing these contestants!"
Many Chinese people in the bullet comments excitedly expressed their admiration!
They also knew how moving Ting Yu's performance was. After being interrupted by cheers, it was a textbook-level live performance!
Based on vocal skills alone, the song was already peerless. Coupled with the authentic Chinese love song flavor, Ting Yu was not only a "melancholy" producer but also a "melancholy" singer!
…
In the audience.
Zhang Shengchu pursed his lips, his eyes slightly red, and said nothing.
He understood Cantonese and naturally knew the song was about him.
However, even the Morita sisters, who didn't understand Cantonese, understood the meaning of the song from the translation of the latter half.
Zhang Shengchu was a national-level singer in Japan, and many Japanese people knew his story.
After listening to the song, many people gained a new understanding of his relationship with that girl.
Was breaking up without love truly being a scumbag?
The lyric, "Who can make Mount Fuji their own with love?" clearly expressed this view on love.
Compared to staying together without affection and then betraying in private, boldly stating it was the best choice. Even if one party was hurt, not loving is not loving; love has no logic, and this is the greatest respect.
"Compared to making Mount Fuji my own, making Mr. Su Yu my own is even harder…" Morita Yui shook her head.
She had always been bold and had openly expressed her liking for Su Yu since they started interacting.
As he said, buying Mount Fuji might be possible, but buying Su Yu was simply impossible.
"This song feels like it shouldn't be sung by him; it's more suitable for Mr. Zhang…" The elder sister, Morita Yumi, wiped away a tear.
"Wh-why?" Zhang Shengchu was slightly stunned.
"Because the chorus line, 'I am definitely not rare,' doesn't fit him. He is the rarest person!" Morita Yumi pursed her lips, gazing adoringly at Su Yu on stage.
Zhang Shengchu's expression immediately turned awkward.
What did she mean?
He is the rarest, meaning I am ordinary?
Zhang Shengchu suddenly felt offended.
However, his gaze fell upon Su Yu's handsome face on stage, a face that even he was jealous of, and Zhang Shengchu suddenly felt that it was reasonable…
Damn it, singing that lyric with that face, didn't he feel awkward about it himself!
…
"Next, it's time for voting. Please start voting according to the procedure!"
After the host finished speaking, the voting interface appeared on the big screen.
Many Japanese audience members clicked on the voting system, preparing to vote for their favorite singers.
In terms of popularity, most audience members' first choice would undoubtedly be Miyamoto.
Moreover, the style of his song was relatable to Japanese people, and his approach was similar to how Ting Yu had competed in other countries before.
To move the audience from the roots of their culture.
"Miyamoto Ze has always been my favorite producer, but Ting Yu's live performance this time was a huge bonus!"
"Indeed, I'm just an audience member, but in the latter half of Ting Yu's performance, besides singing, I even saw the protagonist of the song in my mind, delving into the character's struggles. Ting Yu won against Miyamoto Ze with his vocals this time."
"I like Miyamoto's songs, but I'm also a fan of Zhang Shengchu. Finally, I see someone speaking up for him. I choose Ting Yu!"
"The gap between the singers is too big, and the shot of him grabbing his windbreaker at the end was so cool. Although I really like Miyamoto Ze, I choose Ting Yu this time!"
Many Japanese audience members, especially female ones, were captivated by Ting Yu after the close-up shots in the latter half.
Both in terms of stage presence and vocal performance, Ting Yu was impeccable this time.
The interruption in the middle not only did not affect him but even allowed him to create an incredibly classic, god-tier live performance!
Miyamoto's song this time was good, but unfortunately, his opponent was Ting Yu, who had performed exceptionally. He sang the love story of the famous singer Zhang Shengchu with "Under Mount Fuji."
Zhang Shengchu was also very popular in Japan, and there had always been controversy surrounding him.
Ting Yu's song made many people re-examine his story, making it relatable.
Then there was the exceptional performance after being interrupted, the god-tier live performance that moved many audience members with this love story, and also infected by the romantic imagery of the cherry blossoms blooming and falling under Mount Fuji in the rain depicted in the song.
With all these combined factors.
Ting Yu's votes were far ahead.
Ting Yu: 16.89 million votes.
Miyamoto Ze: 10.21 million votes.
Compared to Ting Yu's previous competitions, the vote difference was not significant. A large part of this was due to Miyamoto Ze's high status in the hearts of Japanese people, and his choice of theme was also very good. But even so, Ting Yu still had a slight edge.
Wow!
When the final results were announced.
The sky blue that belonged to Ting Yu at the scene stirred up wave after wave!
Ting Yu won!
Ting Yu won again!!
This meant that with half the competition completed, he was still ahead of Sean and dominating the era points leaderboard in first place!!
