Li Xiaodong, an absent-minded campus ballad man, appeared in Singer 2.

In the "Singer 2" program broadcast on June 65438+ 10/2, Li Xiaodong, a famous singer and musician whom I haven't met for a long time, made a stunning appearance with a song "Later", which triggered a chorus.

The reason why the amazing appearance is described is not its glamorous appearance, but the long-lost excitement and emotion. The last time I heard Li Xiaodong sing was in the "Sanlitun Music Bar Singers' Gathering" in 2005. He covered "Listen to Your Voice", "Will you miss me like this on such a night? Classic songs such as "Ridge Up" warm your critical ears.

Of course, his songs are the most famous, such as Happy Hero and Ideal Class Composition, which were popular in mainland campus folk songs in the early 1990s.

The short-lived glory of campus folk songs not only made Li Xiaodong taste popular, but also witnessed the depression of the industry. After the contract with the company expired, Li Xiaodong began to make a living as the music director of Sanlitun Bar, so there was a collection of three bar singers he later heard.

13 years later, Li Xiaodong finally stepped onto the stage of Singer 2. At this time, he has faded the breath of youth, his temples are gray but his eyes are firm, and he is waiting quietly in the background in a white shirt.

Although he competed with Wang Feng, Gay, Jessie J and other domestic and foreign singers, his performance was calm and accurate, so that the audience burst into tears when they sang emotionally.

As one of the starting lineup of Singer 2, Li Xiaodong continued to exert his cover strength and presented Rene Liu's classic Later with milk tea (covering Kiroro's "Future へ").

This song has been covered by many singers such as Hins Cheung and Su Yunying, and occupies a pivotal position in the hearts of fans. How to interpret this classic again is also a test for Li Xiaodong. If the milk tea version of Later is a girl's faint sadness, then the cover of Li Xiaodong is a mature man's emotional review after hibernation. What the audience wants is not only the rearrangement of classic songs, but also to hear Li Xiaodong tell his own story.

Li Xiaodong is a musician with a story.

Different from the new generation singers who advocate diversified music views, Li Xiaodong has always regarded music as his own belief, and it is this belief that has kept him in this industry silently for 30 years.

As the second singer, when the music started, Li Xiaodong stood upright in the center of the stage and explained to the audience with music. In the first half of the song, Li Xiaodong reveals the looming pain, which seems to have been forgotten, but still can't be let go. With the advancement of a long string, he led the audience into his emotional world. Until the end, he no longer suppressed the feelings in his heart, but poured them out, lamenting the helplessness and helplessness after "missing" with heartbreaking cries, earning enough tears from the audience.

As the only singer who finished singing with a microphone in his hand, Li Xiaodong knows more about the preciousness of this stage than other singers in the audience. On the status of music, it is not as good as Wang Feng; On popularity, he is not as good as Gai; , just the rise of people; The image on the stage is not as good as Zhang Tian, who came from behind. The only thing he has is a good voice and 30 years of perseverance. He must fully seize this opportunity to prove himself, because once he misses it, this kind of attention will never happen again.

Some netizens in Zhihu asked how to evaluate Li Xiaodong's version of Later.

Some people will also think of the love story between the hero and heroine Meng Yun and Jia Lin in Prequel 3, which is being shown.

To tell the truth, Li Xiaodong won numerous applause for his solid singing skills, but he failed to enter the top four in the first program, and his ranking will be announced in the second program next week. At present, the only thing we know is that he appeared for the second time in the second scene and continued to compete with other singers.

I can't help thinking of Huang Qishan who debuted with Li Xiaodong at the same time. Although he didn't have a beautiful face and the devil's figure, he made a beautiful turnaround with an iron voice on the stage of I am a singer (the predecessor of the singer), which has been loved by hundreds of millions of viewers since then.

This time, I finally waited for Li Xiaodong to take the stage. No matter what the result of the competition is, I sincerely wish Mr. Li Xiaodong a good journey, because every heartfelt voice deserves to be listened to and remembered.
