[English]

And so it begins!

It's easy to tell who this is.

We haven't seen him for a while.

He's got a guitar on his back.

Ready to swing it around to the front at any moment.

It stresses me out to have to whistle on cue.

- Exactly - - because if your face is even a little tense, it just...

(Whistles nothing)

Nothing comes out at all.

But is it really possible to whistle into a microphone without a pop filter?

Wouldn't it sound like this?

(Mimics air blowing into a microphone)

It's possible, it's possible.

I don't think that's...

He wasn't trying to be perfectly accurate.

You can still hear some pitch inconsistency.

It sounds very "live."

But to blow into a mic...

...without hearing the wind noise, is that possible?

(Blows loudly into the mic)

My point is this.

It also depends on the microphone.

If it's a condenser mic...

...it's quite sensitive.

If it's a dynamic mic...

...maybe you can get away without a pop filter.

Alright.

Let's start!

That sounds great.

Is this a Western song?

- I've never heard it before - - Is it a cover?

- First time hearing it - - Really?

I like it.

I must have said this countless times before.

But it really reminds me of Justin Bieber's...

...mid-career music.

I really love him.

That album with "Sorry" on it.

I know.

I absolutely love that album.

Oh, yeah?

I really love that album.

And this is really...

His voice is truly very pleasant.

And his...

He certainly has some...

...quite good agility.

And pretty good connectivity.

The melody is also very fluid.

I like it a lot.

To be honest...

This kid has real style.

Yeah, absolutely.

This is his song.

It's his own!

Yes, yes, yes. "Moonlight."

Yo! That's awesome.

It's really cool.

That's amazing.

Nice vibrato.

Are you done? (Still wanting more)

Still have more to sing.

Good, good, good.

Great song.

What year is this from?

I mean the release year of the song.

It's 2023.

Wow! It's very recent!

Actually...

There are a lot of things...

Like Dua Lipa...

(Retro disco)

It has that kind of vibe.

- He's getting more intense as he sings - - He is!

This is more technically advanced than what I've heard him sing before.

Really?

I think so.

(Demonstrates continuous runs)

I love that little turn.

(Sings it again)

It says Henry Lau co-wrote this song.

"Moonlight."

Love it!

The sound is very modern.

Just like I told you earlier.

Dua Lipa and some other artists...

Like Harry Styles and such...

Even now...

We can still hear the 70s-inspired...

(70s rhythm)

Honestly...

It's very addictive.

Sabrina Carpenter!

She's a huge singer here right now.

I feel like she also...

I have a feeling she would...

...probably utilize that kind of groove.

But regardless...

I really, really like his tone here.

I really appreciate his tasteful use of melisma.

It's not...

It's not singing just to show off technique.

But actually performing the song.

That's the tag, "#PerformingTheSong."

That's everything...

That's all we ask of an artist.

Just to... it's kind of like...

As I said before...

Balancing vocal technique with being cool.

This is a perfect example.

Agreed.

Super cool.

Great image.

And the way he expresses his voice.

You can hear his breathing.

And his casual exclamations.

Very cool.

But the vocal technique...

...is also great.

And it's not just to say, "Look how good I am!"

It strikes a perfect balance between cool and technical.

I think this song is really well-written.

- Yeah! - - I like this song.

(Mimics ad-libs)

Those are all so cool!

Actually, that also takes technique.

I'll be honest.

Otherwise it sounds weird.

(Awkward "Hey")

If you don't bring some vocal skill to it, it sounds forced.

The vibrato is also not bad!

Oh! That final vibrato.

That's that "sexy boy" vibrato.

Sexy man.

I think whether girls can identify this type of vibrato or not...

...it just feels so... (indescribably sexy).

(Teacher performs sexy vibrato)

That sounded so good.

- That was a great performance! - - Yes.

Actually...

I want to hear his latest work.

Sure! Of course.

Let's go!

No problem.

This is amazing!

Let me undress myself in front of you.

Let it all go before your eyes.

I want to be the mint on your lips.

Let me be the candy melting on your tongue.

I will open up completely.

Break into pieces.

Offering every piece to you with my own hands.

Don't leave with my pieces.

Come to me.

Call me at midnight.

Come to me.

Knock on my door at twilight.

Come to me.

Reach out your hands and hold me.

Come to me.

Take off your shell in front of me.

Take off the mask and show the real you.

Let me see the tattoo on your skin.

Can you undo the buttons and give me some space?

Clear your mind.

Tell me your secrets.

I want to be the softest part of your heart.

At the slowest pace.

Come to me.

Call me at midnight.

Come to me.

Knock on my door at twilight.

Come to me.

Reach out your hands and hold me.

Come to me.

Come to me.

Call me at midnight.

Come to me.

Knock on my door at twilight.

Come to me.

Reach out your hands and hold me.

Come to me.

Call me at midnight.

Come to me.

Knock on my door at twilight.

Come to me.

Reach out your hands and hold me.

Come to me.

Come to me.

Baby.

My door.

Knock on my door.

Reach out your hands and hold me.

Come to me.

Knock on my door.

[Chinese]

開始了！

很明顯看得出這是誰

我們一陣子沒看到他了

他背上背著一把吉他

隨時準備甩到前面

要我隨時吹口哨會讓我壓力山大

-沒錯 -因為臉上只要有一點緊繃 就會

（吹了個寂寞）

什麼聲音都發不出來

但真的能不用防噴罩 對著麥克風吹口哨嗎？

聽起來難道不會像這樣？

（模仿空氣噴入麥克風的聲音）

可以的 可以的

我覺得這不是...

他並沒有試圖做到完全準確

還是能聽到音準偏差

聽起來很有現場感

但對著麥克風吹氣

卻沒有風聲 有可能嗎？

（現場吹口哨 風聲超大）

我的重點在這

這也取決於麥克風

如果是電容麥克風

就比較敏感

如果是動圈麥克風

或許可以不用防噴罩

好

開始吧！

聽起來很棒

這是西方的歌嗎？

-我從沒聽過 -是翻唱嗎？

-第一次聽 -是嗎？

我喜歡

我以前肯定說過無數遍了

但這確實讓人想起賈斯汀-比伯的...

在他歌唱職業生涯的中期

我真的很愛他

那張收錄了《Sorry》的專輯

我知道

我超愛那張專輯

是哦

我超愛那張專輯

而且這真的是

他的歌聲真的很好聽

還有他的...

他確實有一些

相當不錯的靈活度

和相當不錯的連接度

旋律也很連貫

我很喜歡

我坦白說

這孩子挺有範兒

是啊 確實

這是他的歌

是他自己的！

對 對 對 《Moonlight》

喲！太棒了

真的好酷

這太棒了

很好的顫音

唱完了嗎？（意猶未盡）

還要繼續唱

很好 很好 很好

很棒的歌

這是哪一年的？

我是說這首歌的發行年份

是2023年

哇！是很近期的！

事實上...

有很多東西

比如杜娃-黎波

（復古迪斯可）

有那樣的感覺

-他越唱越猛了 -他是！

這比我之前聽他唱的更有技術含量

真的假的

我覺得是

（演示連續裝飾音）

我愛這個小轉折

（再唱一遍）

上面寫劉憲華共同創作這首歌

《Moonlight》

愛了！

這聽感是很現代的

就像我剛跟妳說的

杜娃-黎波還有一些其他藝人

像是哈里-斯泰爾斯之類

即使是現在

我們還是能聽到以70年代為靈感的

（70年代節奏）

老實說

很讓人上癮

薩布麗那-卡彭特！

現在是這裡大紅的歌手

我印象中也有

我感覺應該會

可能會利用那種律動

但 無論如何

我非常非常喜歡他在這邊的音色

我非常欣賞他有品味的使用即興旋律片段

這不是...

這不是為了表現唱功而唱

而真的是在演繹歌曲

就是這個標籤 “#演繹歌曲”

那就是全部...

那就是我們對藝人全部的要求了

就是去... 有點像

我之前說過

在展現聲樂技巧和表現得很酷之間取得平衡

這就是個超炸的例子

同意

超級酷

超棒的形象

還有他歌聲的表達方式

聽得見他的吐氣聲

和隨性的呼喝聲

非常酷

但聲樂上的技巧

也很讚

而不只是為了 “看我多行！”

它在酷和技巧之間取得了完美的平衡

我覺得這歌寫得真好

-是啊！ -我喜歡這首歌

（模仿吆喝呼喊聲）

這些都很酷！

其實這也要技巧

我老實說

否則聽起來很怪

（尷尬的嘿）

如果不帶點歌唱技巧 就會喊得很彆扭

顫音也很不賴！

哦！這最後的顫音

這就是那種性感男孩的顫音

性感男人

我覺得不管女孩有沒有辦法辨別這種顫音

它感覺就是很...（不言而諭的性感）

（老師表演性感顫音）

真是好聽

-這是個很棒的演出！ -是的

事實上

我想聽他最新的作品

好啊！當然

走起！

沒問題

這太棒了！

讓我在你面前解開自己

在你眼前徹底釋放

我要當你唇間的薄荷糖

讓我成為你舌尖融化的那顆糖

我會徹底敞開

瓦解成碎片

親手把每一片獻給你

別拿著我的碎片離開

來我的身邊吧

午夜時分打電話給我

來我的身邊吧

暮光之際敲響我的房門

來我的身邊吧

伸出雙手擁抱我

來我的身邊吧

在我面前卸下你的外殼

摘下面具 展示真實的你

讓我看看你皮膚上的紋身

能不能解開扣子 給我一些空間

清空你的頭腦

訴說你的秘密

我要當你心裡最柔軟的一塊

用最慢的步調

來我的身邊吧

午夜時分打電話給我

來我的身邊吧

暮光之際敲響我的房門

來我的身邊吧

伸出雙手擁抱我

來我的身邊吧

來我的身邊吧

午夜時分打電話給我

來我的身邊吧

暮光之際敲響我的房門

來我的身邊吧

伸出雙手擁抱我

來我的身邊吧

午夜時分打電話給我

來我的身邊吧

暮光之際敲響我的房門

來我的身邊吧

伸出雙手擁抱我

來我的身邊吧

來我的身邊吧

親愛的

我的房門

敲響我的房門

伸出雙手擁抱我

來我的身邊吧

敲響我的房門
