The Overlord has changed...
No more soaring high notes, no more gorgeous transitions, no more countless abnormal techniques, just using the simplest singing voice on this stage, but this time, he sang the song better than any other time.
Everybody was applauding.
Lin Yuan was also applauding. He probably recognized who the other person was. He believed that the judges and some people who were familiar with the other person recognized who the other person was. This was the best song the other person had ever sung on this stage.
"Teacher Lanling Wang."
An Hong looked at King Lanling.
Everyone looked at Prince Lanling.
Lin Yuan walked onto the stage, still without saying a word, but just nodded slightly to the band. This was his last song on this stage, and he didn't want to leave everyone with a hysterical impression.
The sound of an electric piano rang out.
Lin Yuan's voice was very pure:
"Wandering
On the road
Are you leaving
Fragile pride
That was me, too.”
Lin Yuan's voice was equally pure and simple. He discarded all techniques and sang with only the most essential voice. The final scene that many people imagined did not appear.
It seems like a huge contrast.
This stage was once dominated by high notes and technical skills, but in the final, the choices of the two singers were, to some extent, coincidental.
but…
No one was disappointed.
Instead, there is a faint sense of relief.
"Boiling and restless
Where are you going
Mysteriously silent
Are you really listening to the story... "
Lin Yuan raised his voice slightly, and he also gave this song to himself.
"I have crossed mountains and seas
Also through the crowds of people
Everything I once had
In the blink of an eye, everything dissipates like smoke
I was lost, disappointed, and lost all direction
Until I see that ordinary is the only answer... "
Give it to the previous life.
Give it to this life.
Give it to each of you.
Some audience members closed their eyes slightly.
This song is not as shocking as "Fukua", but it has a kind of silent power. Many people thought that it would be difficult for Lanling Wang's last song to surpass his previous one, but when this song sounded, everyone suddenly felt:
No need to compare.
This song.
Just as good.
In fact, the comments on the screen were flooded with comments following this climax, and countless netizens found it difficult to control their emotions:
“Maybe this is what a final should be like.”
"This is a singing stage. 'Fukua' is a slap in the face, a rebuttal, and a release, but this song is about reconciliation, not reconciliation with the opponent, but opening myself up to the audience."
“I like this song.”
“This song has a crisp opening.”
“A must-have in your playlist series.”
"I can't imagine how the second season will be able to surpass this season. Lanling King is really too strong. He didn't disappoint anyone in this final!"
"… "
Lin Yuan's voice returned to calmness, and calmness was the true nature of this song:
"When you are still fantasizing
Your tomorrow
Will she be better or worse
It's another day for me
I've ruined everything I've ever had
I just want to leave forever
I once fell into endless darkness
I want to struggle and can't help myself
I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and flowers
Desperate and longing
Cry and laugh, just being ordinary..."
Once, his life was worthless, once he was extremely talented, once he was angry and unwilling to give up, once he complained about his fate, but all that has become a thing of the past. Now everything is getting better, so the tune of the music rose, and Lin Yuan seemed to be humming:
"Just keep moving forward.
Even if you were given something
Just keep moving forward.
Even if something is taken away from you
Just keep moving forward.
Even if you miss something
Just keep moving forward.
Even if you will
I have crossed mountains and seas...”
When the chorus started again, it seemed that Overlord was seen singing along, and then White Swan also sang along, and finally many singers who had been eliminated but were still on the stage sang together.
Simple melody.
In fact, professional singers have already learned it after listening to it for the first time. There is not only the singer of Lanling King on the stage, but also the voices of Sun Yaohuo, Zhao Yingchromi, Jiang Kui and all the other singers who were eliminated and unveiled. In the end, there is even a tendency of it turning into a chorus.
Under the mask.
Overlord's tears came again. No one knew whether it was because he knew his own ending or because he was moved by a line in the lyrics. It was not until later in an interview when he sang the line "I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers, desperate and yearning, crying and laughing, and ordinary" that everyone understood his mood at the moment.
“Time is speechless
Such and such
Tomorrow is already
The wind blows
There is still a long way to go
Where does your story end?"
The last line of the lyrics sounds like a question, but it is filled with countless hopes. Life is on the road, I hope you and I are both ordinary and extraordinary.
The song is called "Ordinary Road".
After singing.
Lin Yuan bowed.
The venue was once again filled with applause. There were no exclamations of "Wow" or "Awesome", but everyone's expressions said it all. There couldn't be a better song for the finals than this.
In front of the screen.
The comments were endless like a waterfall:
"I'm drunk."
“May you be ordinary yet extraordinary!”
“Maybe this show doesn’t need a champion.”
"They're just a bunch of people who love to sing—except for Nemesis."
"Bawang's last song made me like him. I even thought Bawang would win, but after this song came out, winning or losing didn't matter anymore."
“In this song, I hear life.”
"Three years ago I was the CEO of a listed company. Three years later I am running a few small stores. But there is nothing to complain about. This is my ordinary path."
"Zha Wang's singing made me cry, and Lanling Wang's singing made me forget to cry."
"… "
Everyone had the same reaction to this song. Some even thought that Lanling King's insistence on singing this song and competing with Overlord again in the final was a fulfillment of this stage.
He and the Overlord are telling the same truth:
No high notes, no showy skills, just singing with all your heart, and people who are willing to listen to you can come from all over the world.
This one.
Prince Lanling won.
Won by a large margin.
There were many viewers who abstained from voting at the same time. This was even the game with the most abstentions since the beginning of the competition. Many people were unwilling to determine the final winner.
But the Overlord accepted it calmly.
When he took off his mask, his movements were easy.
Fei Yang's face appeared in front of countless viewers, but surprisingly, there was no "stupid" comment in the comments.
Of course there are still people brushing.
But it’s much less than expected.
In fact, by the last song, some people had already guessed who the Overlord was.
"I got second place again!"
Overlord looked at the audience with a smile, a bit of self-mockery, but more of relief.
When the applause paused.
An Hong said with emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Fei Yang, and thank you to all the audience. Then our Mr. Lanling Wang, as the singing king of this season, you will also have your moment of unveiling..."
Lin Yuan was stunned.
Finally, it’s time to take the cover off.
I should be prepared, right
What Lin Yuan didn't know was...
As An Hong's words rang out, Yuan Xi and all the fans of the singers who had been attacked by Lanling King were almost going crazy!
————
ps: I know everyone wants to see the unveiling, and the rhythm says it should be done, but I couldn't help but write one more scene, just think of it as being pretentious, the unveiling will really happen in the next chapter.
