Chapter 30 Singers need to control their emotions!
"Ah...Ancestor, this is not necessary, right?" Teacher Yingzi shrank back upon hearing these words and subconsciously tried to escape backwards.

But Ms. Xingzhen didn't seem to intend to give her the chance to run away. She probably raised her eyes with a chill in her eyes: "What are you thinking about, huh?"

——She has already told him to listen, but this good-for-nothing actually dares to try to hide?
Then she must not give her this opportunity!
Ms. Xingzhen crossed her arms and hugged her chest, and seeing this, Nalan Ying almost instinctively shuddered.

After struggling and weighing the pros and cons again and again, she finally chose to obey Ms. Xingzhen's arrangements, and then walked back to the house in small steps, tidied herself up and cleared her throat.

"…It feels like you never left…"

"Exist in another way."

"Life has had your love..."

"There are more than just memories to rely on—"

The music was soothing and long, coupled with Nalan Ying's slightly lonely and hoarse voice, it really could stir people's emotions.

But while enjoying Teacher Yingzi's singing, Zhong Lingyu also keenly noticed a key and even fatal problem -

Ever since the song entered the chorus, Teacher Yingzi's voice was not as stable as it was at the beginning.

She probably poured too much emotion into her singing uncontrollably due to her memories. Not only did she make frequent mistakes in pitch in the second half of the song, but when she sang the last two sentences, Zhong Lingyu even heard her off-tune crying voice at the end.

——In this case, the problem suddenly becomes very tricky.

After listening to the song, the little girl frowned unconsciously, and the corners of her lips, which were always smiling, were stretched straight.

——After all, she said it early on that the music variety show "Singer" is different from the certain voice that was popular all over the country in the past few years.

It is mainly based on competition, and the audience and the program team have much higher demands on the singers' singing skills and vocal abilities than on the exploration of emotions and sensationalism.

It would be impossible for Teacher Yingzi to go on stage in this state - let alone compete with Adam, just based on her singing style of this song... it would not be easy for her to outsing Su Lang, who has never been known for his singing skills.

——Uliyanghai, Yellow, Timo and Frosia, plus Adam who will appear in the next episode, the singing skills of these five singers are better than each other.

Especially the young girl Frosia...she loves to show off her skills on stage.

Zhong Lingyu felt a slight pain in his head, and he kept pressing his swollen brows with his hands.

After listening to Teacher Yingzi's singing, Ms. Xingzhen fell into a long silence. The silence was so long that even Teacher Yingzi felt inexplicably scared.

After enduring this agonizing and struggling wait for more than ten minutes, Nalan Ying finally couldn't hold back and wanted to ask Ms. Xingzhen what she thought.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth to utter a word, Ms. Xingzhen on the other end of the line spoke first: "Why do you sing like this?"

Teacher Yingzi was stunned when she heard this. Her mind was too confused to wrap around the question. “What?”

"The pitch, the crying tone, and the broken ending." Ms. Xingzhen's eyes were calm, she pointed out the problem directly, without mercy. "Uh..." Teacher Yingzi was choked by her question, "Because... every time I sing to that part, I get too involved and can't help but think of my dad and lose control of my emotions?"

"…This is really a bit difficult to control, Ms. Xingzhen."

——The main thing was that she didn’t make it in time to see her father for the last time...it was really hard to get over this hurdle.

"I know you got too involved and lost control of your emotions." Ms. Xingzhen's expression remained unchanged. "But what I mean is - Nalan, no matter what your reasons are, do you think this kind of 'mistake' should happen when singing this song?"

"Especially since this is a song for singing competitions - it's not a song you can sing with your friends at a KTV, or a song you can release on a record, where you can sing it over and over again until you get it right."

Ms. Xingzhen said, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "What you will face on Friday night are the 500 live audiences, the 500 online audiences, and the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of viewers in China watching the live broadcast in front of the screen!"

“Not everyone understands who you sing for,” said Ms. Xingzhen, looking serious. “Not everyone is willing to take the initiative to understand the story behind your singing.”

"It's hard for people to empathize with others easily... For most listeners, they may be able to hear the strong emotions hidden in your singing, but if you sing out of tune, it's out of tune. If you have a pitch problem, it's a pitch problem. If you don't articulate enough because of crying, it's just not articulating enough."

"This is a competitive music variety show. Fame, emotions, stories, looks... none of these are the criteria for winning. Strength is the key."

“You should use the emotions in your singing to infect others instead of being carried away by your own emotions.” Ms. Xingzhen became more and more excited as she spoke.

"If you're this old and still can't learn how to suppress the emotions in your singing... and you're always being carried away by the tension and emotions in your heart—"

"Then I can only say that you may not really be suitable to be a 'singer', Nalan."

"Singers must learn to control their overflowing emotions." Ms. Xingzhen felt that she had said something a little too much and softened her tone slightly. "Of course, I am not denying your emotions and singing ability."

"You have a great voice and are very talented... But I watched those two episodes later, and I felt that you had more experience in the program. From the partners to the hosts to the younger singers, most people had a special 'filter' for you. They would habitually praise you and flatter you."

"But you can't always be flattered by others...Nalan." Having said this, Ms. Xingzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"When people are held in high esteem for too long, it is easy for them to lose sight of their true selves."

——Just like she did back then.

"But...how can I control this emotion?" Teacher Yingzi looked confused after being scolded.

It's not that she didn't pay attention to this problem when she was practicing singing today, but she was so uncomfortable that she really didn't know how to control her emotions.

She felt as if she could never learn to control it… She couldn't control it.

"If you don't know how to control it, then vent it out first." Ms. Xingzhen had a blank expression on her face. "Vent it out directly and in advance—"

"You should get rid of most of your emotions first, so when you go on stage, they probably won't be as strong anymore."

"So, try to blow off some steam over the next two days...it's best not to let it stay overnight."
