Chapter 144 Chorus: The Thief of Time
Chapter 144 Chorus: The Thief of Time
The final of "Heavenly Voices," in which Wanwan participated, finally began. Below the stage, the audience's eyes were burning with anticipation, while on the stage, the lights shone as brightly as day, as if laying a layer of dreamlike brocade for this musical feast.
In today's music competition field, many programs often adopt similar and mature competition formats in order to present a spectacular event.
The music program "Heavenly Voices of Children" also follows a classic competition format in the industry.
The competition was divided into two halves. In the first half, each contestant had to work with their guest performer to perform a song together.
After all the groups have finished performing, the judges and the audience will vote to select the contestant who performed the worst in the first half and ranked last. This contestant will be awarded the third place in this competition.
The other two contestants who emerged victorious from the fierce competition successfully advanced to the second half. The second half is the ultimate solo showdown, where they will each give their all and use their voices to conquer the judges and audience.
Ultimately, the contestant with the most votes will be crowned the champion of this competition and enjoy supreme honor.
Backstage, when the order of appearance for the first half was determined by drawing lots, Wanwan drew number two, a good position, performing in the center.
First up was Si Nan, the only boy among the three. Wearing a simple black performance outfit, Si Nan stepped onto the stage, the spotlight focused on him, and the audience instantly fell silent.
As the stirring music began, Si Nan's voice flowed out like a clear spring. He had chosen an inspirational song, and his singing was high-pitched and melodious, with a skill that amazed everyone.
Every high note was handled perfectly, and every transition was smooth and natural. The audience was immersed in his singing and burst into enthusiastic applause.
However, Wanwan stood backstage, her brows furrowing slightly. In her opinion, while Si Nan's singing technique was impeccable, he didn't put much emotion into it; it was more like he was showcasing his superb singing skills.
For Wanwan, music is not just a combination of sounds, but also a vessel for emotions and a way for the soul to express itself.
Finally, it was Wanwan's turn to go on stage. Luo Li accompanied her onto the stage, and they looked at each other.
As the familiar and melodious music began, Wanwan closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then her voice rang out.
"Don't let go of what you can hold onto."
If you can hug someone, don't pull them away.
Time rushes by,
What's left?
......"
Wanwan's voice was clear and captivating, every note seeming to flow from the depths of her heart.
At that moment, she seemed to forget that she was on the final stage and that countless eyes were watching her. All she could think about was the memories of participating in the show's recording over the past month.
The nights she spent practicing singing, the difficulties and setbacks she encountered during rehearsals, and the moments of laughter and tears she shared with her teammates all flashed before her eyes like scenes from a series of paintings.
Forgive the twists and turns we've gone through.
It turns out that what remained was all true.
Even though it feels like a dream, half-awake,
Whether laughing or crying, it's all joyful.
Who let
......"
Luo Li's singing voice carries a hint of sadness, yet it is full of love for life and anticipation for the future.
She poured her insights into time and her reflections on life into her singing. In the live stream, viewers flooded the chat with comments.
"In a moment of unexpected surprise, you will suddenly realize that time really flies by. All the things you have 'once' experienced, whether they are joyful moments filled with laughter or difficult days with tears soaking your pillow, have quietly become the past, and you can only find traces of them in your memory."
"Life is a journey of no return. The good and the bad are all part of the scenery. May 2025 be filled with happiness and beauty."
"When we talk about 'what if,' it means everything is already gone. Time flies, and we only realize things in hindsight. The past is something we can't hold onto, and the scenery in our memories is just a passing moment. So let's cherish every moment."
"It sings about the many flavors of life. Time will give everyone the answers to life. It seems that only time will accompany you to grow up, live together, and heal your scars."
"After listening to the song, I felt it was too short, leaving me wanting more. Every note and every lyric seemed to contain endless stories, making it worth listening to again and again to savor its charm."
"I've been searching for a good song about time, hoping to find resonance with the passage of time in the melody. Suddenly, this song shone into my heart like a ray of light, touching the softest part of my heart perfectly, immersing me in it and filling me with countless emotions."
Time is something that catches you off guard.
Sunny with wind, cloudy with rain
Unable to compete for the present, yet still yearning for the past.
It stole my black hair but kept you.
Time is a journey of no return.
Good or bad, it's all part of the scenery.
Don't blame me for being greedy, I just don't want to wake up.
Because you only want to be with me.
"Watching the clouds drift by gently"
Wanwan's singing not only moved the viewers in the live broadcast room, but also captivated the judges and audience at the scene.
Some people closed their eyes, savoring the emotions in the song; some had tears glistening in their eyes, as if the song had stirred up memories deep within their hearts; and others swayed gently to the rhythm, completely immersed in this beautiful musical world.
As the last note faded, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, tears glistening in them, and bowed deeply to the audience and judges. At that moment, she knew that the emotions she conveyed through her song had resonated with everyone.
The performance proceeded smoothly in a lively atmosphere, and Yunxi was the third to take the stage. She walked lightly onto the stage with a confident smile on her face and bowed slightly to the audience.
As the music began to play softly, Yunxi began to sing. Her voice was clear and steady, with each note falling precisely on the beat. Her singing was professional and unconventional.
Throughout the performance, she controlled her breath perfectly, playing the high notes with ease and the low notes with a steady and mellow tone.
Despite lacking overly flashy or technically demanding performances, she conveyed the song's emotions delicately through her solid singing skills and wholehearted dedication.
As the last note faded, a brief silence fell over the entire venue, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Applause surged like a tide, wave after wave, lasting for a long time. The audience stood up one after another, generously expressing their praise and recognition to Yunxi on the stage with applause.
