The lights dimmed on the stage.
The venue gradually fell silent.
A spotlight shone down.
It illuminated Dark Night Rabbit, bathing him in a faint glow.
The intro carried a rock element, the wail of an electric guitar immediately igniting the audience.
Of course, during the recorded program, the elimination rounds were later, so the live audience at this moment was not affected by the performances from the losing bracket.
They were still cheering for Dark Night Rabbit.
As the intro faded.
Everyone held their breath.
"In a blur, I see your face again,
With those eyes, still carrying a hint of sorrow,
Appearing and disappearing..."
A stunning opening.
That deep and delicate voice, like a gentle spring breeze, flowed through the audience's hearts.
Love songs, the genre that most easily resonates with people.
Especially these melancholic love songs, they could instantly draw people into the mood.
"Let's pretend it was all a dream,
No need to hide my mistakes,
No need to find forced reasons for this bitter smile..."
At the judges' table.
"Such a tender voice, Dark Night Rabbit is simply a vocal prodigy!" Liu Huan couldn't help but praise.
"Indeed, it sounds so good..." Yin Na had already been proven wrong countless times.
She had been ignited by the song's intro, but the verse suddenly quieted down.
That feeling left her unsure if the song had any points she would like.
However, based on her experience from previous episodes, she decided to appreciate it wholeheartedly. She was already convinced that there would be surprises later.
"Let it pierce my chest day and night,
Leaving my gaze unfocused,
Tears blurring my vision..."
When singing this part.
There was a distinct emotional pause.
As if gathering strength.
Then, it delivered a powerful blow to the audience!
"Losing you, what good is winning the world?
The dream you once yearned for,
I think I'll never understand me,
Losing you, winning everything, yet still so lonely,
Who else can capture my heart, besides you..."
The sudden high-energy moment caught everyone off guard.
It seemed everyone had grown accustomed to Dark Night Rabbit's style of starting with lyrical verses and then erupting.
Yin Na clapped excitedly.
Liu Huan and Han Qi also applauded with smiles.
Dark Night Rabbit's performance had completely established its own unique style.
Especially in these later episodes, each performance left a lasting impression.
And when the camera panned to Mo Yan.
His eyes were slightly closed, looking confident, which stirred up the netizens again.
"He's acting, he was just crying, and now he's back to this inscrutable look?"
"Idiot, haven't you seen the online show schedule? The elimination round was filmed separately after the winners' bracket!"
"I'm telling you, you trolls, can you please not post irrelevant things while someone is singing? Don't you know that's very impolite?"
Dark Night Rabbit also had quite a few supporters.
In the industry, there was an unwritten rule that regardless of your fame, fans should try not to post irrelevant things on other people's screen time. This would make neutral viewers extremely displeased.
It was like some people, whether watching TV or variety shows, as long as their idol was on, they would immediately spam, "Here for XX!"
Some would even spam throughout the entire episode, greatly affecting the viewing experience of others.
This kind of argument was also the same.
This was the most basic respect for a singer.
"Between you and me, is there no trace left,
A bit of unforgettable affection, to make you remember,
I can only say that now I have nowhere to hide,
When I sadly look back,
When I've seen all the tides rise and fall..."
While many netizens were still busy spamming insults at Mo Yan.
In the show, Dark Night Rabbit had unknowingly soared!
After the second verse ended.
Without giving anyone a chance to breathe.
It was followed by a continuous barrage of high notes!
"Losing you!!
What good is winning the world?
The dream you once yearned for,
I think I'll never understand me..."
The impactful moments of this song came very directly.
There was no chance to prepare, and then it shot straight to the heavens.
A ridiculously high quality of continuous B4 and A4 notes!
It was like a troop of tiny people dancing in the audience's skulls!
That tingling sensation made people involuntarily immerse themselves in the song's emotions.
In fact, the expression in this song was somewhat obsessive, and because of this obsession, that heart-wrenching feeling was even more moving.
"Losing you!! Winning everything,
Yet still so lonely,
Who else can capture my heart, besides you..."
This vocal performance.
Behind the heart-wrenching delivery, the emotion was exceptionally sincere.
Paired with the preceding build-up, it was as if after many years, having gone through life, one gradually understood the importance of love.
It seemed all love songs told people to cherish the one before them, but no matter how many love songs were heard, the people who were missed could not be kept.
In the song, the lingering, intertwined sorrow kept replaying in the mind.
When the emotion reached its peak.
When the audience was excitedly screaming.
The roaring strings suddenly paused!
"Losing you...
What good is winning the world?
The dream you once yearned for."
This delicate falsetto treatment.
It directly made people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar, involuntarily shivering!
It was as if the world had instantly transformed from passionate to incredibly ethereal.
Dreamlike, like the tranquility after a heavy rain, yet carrying a sense of resigned sadness.
However, just as the audience was about to relax along with the melody.
Dark Night Rabbit exerted its power again!!
"I think I'll never understand me,
Losing you!!!"
A raw, powerful vocal!
Like a fierce beast, tearing through the air, bombarding the entire venue!
Astonishing!
No one had expected this song to have such immense power!
That sudden explosion, without any psychological preparation, made many audience members grin in amazement, their pupils dilating as they stared intently at the stage!
The cameras switched rapidly!
Capturing all these stunned expressions from the audience!
"Winning everything, yet still, so lonely!
Who else can capture my heart, besides you..."
At this moment.
Dark Night Rabbit stood quietly under the spotlight.
But in the eyes of the audience.
It was as if the world only contained him.
Even the arguments on the bullet screen had long since stopped.
The impact of this performance was beyond words.
Whether in emotion or technique, Dark Night Rabbit had performed impeccably.
Especially the explosive power, which had simply blown the audience away!
The performance had ended.
The audience's ears were still ringing.
Initially, everyone thought that the protagonists of this episode would be Faceless Knight and Wolf Fang.
But Dark Night Rabbit, with his strength, showed everyone.
He was the king of this stage!!!
