Chapter 230 225 Four Great Divine Songs

Chapter 226 Four Divine Comedies

"Hello boss, Taylor Swift!"

The little girl took the initiative to reach out her hand. Her smile looked very cute, and she also showed two rows of white teeth. She did have the look of a country girl.

"Hello Taylor, looks like I don't need to introduce myself."

"Of course not, you are very famous, who doesn't know you? The youngest super billionaire, the youngest best screenwriter, the youngest great director, you have so many names, it's scary, hehe."

Looking at her cute look, Eric looked at Celine Dion, pointed at Taylor Swift and said, "I like this girl's character, she is bold and interesting. No wonder you two can form a team."

The latter laughed: "Eric, Taylor called you boss, what's going on?"

This matter won't be made public until after the show airs, but it doesn't hurt to tell Celine Dion, smart people are not big talkers.

"Meiyi has signed a contract with Taylor. I think she has great potential and will definitely become a well-known figure in the music industry in the future."

Celine Dion was slightly stunned, and many thoughts immediately came to her mind.

No, is The Voice going to make Taylor the champion?

An old person like her, who has been around for decades, naturally knows very well that if she wants you to be the champion, there are countless ways to achieve it, even if your singing skills are the worst among the four.

A relatively simple and common method is to hint or order the other three players to make intentional mistakes.

Our competition is about live performance. If you make a mistake on the spot, no matter how good your singing skills are, you will be eliminated.

Seeing the smiling future queen, Eric added: "But you still have a long way to go to achieve this goal. Taylor, I have a question for you."

"OK! What's the problem?" The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"As for the question of style, do you plan to keep singing country music? Have you ever thought about singing other genres, such as pop music?"

"Of course I don't mean that country music is bad, but its type is destined to have an upper limit. It really cannot compare with pop music in terms of spread, awareness, acceptance, etc."

"I don't know much about the music industry, but even from the perspective of an ordinary listener, it is obvious that pop music is the real mainstream."

“If you want to go higher and further in the future, my suggestion is to transform.”

Eric was just talking about the truth that everyone understands. He started to know Swift and started listening to her songs when Taylor switched to the pop track.

This is the truth, but when Swift transitioned to the popular track, she had already won various awards in the country track, and it was difficult to break through after reaching the top.

At that time, Swift had no choice but to break out of her comfort zone and move into a wider field if she wanted to reach a higher level.

And now that she has not made her debut, Eric suddenly suggested that she switch to track, and the little girl couldn't help but be startled.

"Sorry boss, I don't know and I haven't thought about it, and I love country music and I love singing country music."

Seeing that she was a little hesitant and flustered, Celine Dion rubbed her head to comfort her.

"Eric, it's a little too early to talk about this topic now. Taylor and I have been together for a long time. We have talked about our views on music. She likes country music."

"This child's first album is ready. If you want her to transform, wouldn't it be a waste of her efforts."

"Ready so soon? How many songs have you written?" Eric was a little surprised.

After all, if calculated strictly according to the month, the Swift in front of me is actually several months shy of 15 years old. She has already achieved this step at such a young age. She is truly a creative talent.

Swift stretched out a finger on each hand, and said cautiously and proudly: "11 songs, boss."

Celine Dion showed an expression that said: "11 songs are enough to make an album. She showed me these works. Although I am not an expert in country music, they are really good."

"I think the sales of this album will not be bad. You can't waste Taylor's talent."

After saying that, she felt that saying this might offend Eric, and then added: "But what you said makes sense. The upper limit of country music is indeed not as good as that of pop music."

"Even Shania Twain, whose song "You're Still the One" we just sang, could only win second place on Billboard, but this is already Shania's best result."

"Tyler, if you keep moving forward on the road of country music, your future achievements may only be the best."

You said all the good things, Eric simply asked: "Sidi, do you have any good suggestions?"

Swift also looked at Celine Dion, and this conversation may determine the direction of her future career.

"Um"

After pondering for a moment, Celine Dion gave a moderate answer: "Then let's fuse it. In fact, an album may not all be of the same genre. It can definitely be filled with a few pop songs."

"Although 11 songs can already be released as a record, if it is filled with 15 songs, listeners will feel that it is more value for money."

"I like this approach."

Swift immediately stated that although she prefers country music, it is good to have multiple paths. She is an ambitious and independent girl.

Eric nodded slightly. This may lead to unpalatable results for both parties, but it may also lead to results that both parties like. The key lies in the quality of the song.

Country music is not Eric's cup of tea, but he knows what Swift is capable of. The little girl can handle this herself, and Eric only needs to provide her with a high-quality pop song.

He has already planned that each of Taylor Swift, Martian Brother, Fruit Sister and Xilin will have a high-quality song, which can be regarded as a gift from his hidden boss.

However, I don’t have much inventory. I can at most help them lay a solid foundation and open up the situation. The subsequent development is still up to them.

Whoever performs better in the future can receive a few more songs.

"OK, Taylor, sing a few lines and listen. Don't hold back your voice. I want to hear a more popular accent."

"OK."

Swift took a few steps back, went through it in her mind, and finally chose a pop song that she was best at.

Two minutes later, after singing the chorus, she looked at Eric with wide eyes, waiting for his judgment.

"Taylor, when you sing country music, are you deliberately lowering your voice? It turns out that you can sing sharper high notes."

After listening to her singing, Eric discovered a problem. Her timbre actually had a popular singing style from later generations, but it was not that obvious yet. It should be related to age and the development of her vocal cords.

Swift smiled shyly: "I wanted to look more country."

"Very good. This way it will be easier for me to choose songs for you."

"What?"

"After the recording of The Voice is finished, you can prepare to record the album. Once the show is finished, your popularity will definitely be very high. Then we will strike while the iron is hot and release the first album. I will write a song for you. ”

"Really?"

Swift was so pleasantly surprised by her sudden good fortune that she dreamed of releasing an album as soon as possible to let the world see her talent.

With the help of Eric, a Grammy winner, it will be even more powerful.

Although no one except Mike knew that Eric couldn't even read music scores, it didn't matter. Everyone only knew that he was talented and won Grammys every time he performed.

If it weren't for his status, many people would extend an olive branch and invite him to sing.

After going through the songs that I could sing, I found that it was still difficult to find a suitable song. I finally found a song "Trouble Is A Friend" that is suitable for Swift at this stage.

The song is catchy and somewhat similar to country music, but it is actually pop music and does not require strong singing skills. It is Swift's familiar singing style and is almost a perfect fit for her.

This song was once popular all over the world, and it was at least more popular than the song in Swift's first album, but Eric had no impression of who the singer was. A typical singer is not popular.

"Trouble will find you no mater where you go oh oh!"

"No matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow oh oh!"

After a few simple hums, Eric patted the little girl on the shoulder: "That's it, just practice hard. I hope you can win the championship."

"Huh? Isn't the champion undecided?" Celine Dion thought to herself.

"But the song he sang just now is quite interesting."

Eric followed the staff to the second practice room, where Jayz and Xilin were.

Jayz is a big shot in the rap industry. The two of them greeted each other at the Grammy Awards and their relationship is going well. He also dislikes Eminem’s disgusting behavior and hates the same person, so we are friends.

Xilin is a white guy, not too old at 24 years old. He focuses on rap, but his path is similar to that of Ruffian Eminem.

After chatting for a while, Eric left the practice room, probably having chosen a song for Xilin in his mind.

Eric doesn't listen to rap, let alone sing, but besides rap, Xilin can also control relaxed and cheerful music styles very well, so the song Eric chose for him is "Sugar" by Magic Red.

There is no need to say much about the name of this song. The impressive MV directly gave the band the moniker Magic Red Chowder.

The songs are also very popular and are globally popular.

After this song helped him become famous, even if he continues to rap, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

Then there was the third practice room, where Janet Jackson and future fruit girl Katy Perry were singing. They chose a dynamic dance song with a bright rhythm.

After seeing Eric, Katy Perry's teeth were exposed and she kept giggling.

The others who were laughing couldn't help but giggle along with her.

"Okay, okay, pause, Katie, what made you laugh so hard?"

Katy Perry clenched her fists and said, "You look so handsome."

Her answer made Jenny next to her smile from ear to ear, as if she had a shadow of the immortal war god Brenda.

"This answer just hit my heart. I have to write the most amazing song for you." Eric patted his heart and said.

"OMG! Really? Boss, your handsomeness has risen to another level!"

"This girl is really good at talking, I like her."

Katy Perry is 20 years old this year. She has already appeared in bars and at major events, but she has not achieved a blockbuster success.

However, these experiences have also honed her singing skills. Although she is not very old, her vocal range is deep and her natural ability is much stronger than Taylor Swift. She can already handle various styles.

Even if she takes her famous songs in the future, as long as she practices more, she can still handle them now.

However, there is no home flower that is as fragrant as a wild flower. Others can't take away their own songs, and they can take away other people's famous songs one by one, so Eric targeted Kelly Clarkson, the champion of the first season of "American Idol".

At the Golden Globe Awards, she performed on stage and Eric noticed this sister.

It must be said that Kelly Clarkson has great singing skills and is very capable. She has released many popular songs.

But who made you a contestant from American Idol? Sorry, the worse you are, the more awesome your voice will be.

So Eric planned to give Katy Perry her representative song "Because of You", and then give her another hit song "Stronger" later. Anyway, Katy Perry is not bad at singing this style.

After chatting for a while, let Katy Perry practice alone first, and Eric took Jenny to find Michael.

They came to the fourth practice room, and before they got close, they heard the strong rhythm inside.

The song Eric was very familiar with, Michael's "bad".

"Because I'm bad, I'm bad!"

(Really, really bad)

"You know I'm bad, I'm bad!"

(Really, really bad)

"You know I'm bad, I'm bad"

"Come on, you know"

(Really, really bad)

"And the whole world has to"

"Answer right now"

"Just to tell you once again"

"Who's bad!"

Through the glass, Michael and Mars were singing and dancing to the music.

"Bruno Mars is a very comprehensive singer. Not only does he sing very well, but he also has a good dancing skill."

"Michael and I both wanted him to join our team, but he is Michael's die-hard fan and decisively chose my brother's team."

Jenny was a little disappointed that she didn't get Mars, but what could she do?

Everyone on earth knows that Michael is Mars' idol, and funk music is passed down through the two of them.

If Mars' biggest shortcoming is undoubtedly his height, he is less than 1.7 meters, which is indeed a little insufficient, but when he sings, his aura is immediately 2.8 meters.

As for the song selection for him, there is no need to think too much, just use his own famous song "Just the Way You Are".

As for the most popular "Uptown Funk", it is better to keep it for the time being.

Because even these four songs are enough to stage a fierce battle on the B list, there is no need to use more big moves.

"Uptown Funk" obviously surpasses these four songs in terms of rhythm, arrangement, popularity, etc. If it appears, the ending will be no suspense.

After the singing and dancing in the practice room were over, Eric knocked on the door.

As expected, Mars, with his enthusiastic personality, took the initiative to talk to Eric.

After they chatted for a while, Eric signaled Michael and Jenny to come out to talk with him. It was necessary to take precautions.
