After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Chapter 649, Issue 1, Page 2

The 'secret' of the opening song is being discovered by more and more viewers.

While countless people speculate about the relationship between Alder and Richard, they can't help but look forward to the exciting sequel to "Voice of the West".

After all, if Alder is willing to compose the opening song for the show, he might also be willing to write one or two original songs for the show's guests.

Perhaps this wave of speculation is the effect Richard wanted to achieve.

Because after the opening music, it's time for the guests to appear.

The same thing happened with the program next door.

The difference is that all the guests they invited were currently very popular singers.

Apart from Chen Yubai, the seven guests on "Voice of the West Continent" are either very talented singers whose popularity is declining, or veterans like Cleefia.

Of course, not everyone can have the transcendent status in the industry like Clementa. They are basically singers with classic works, but who are easily forgotten by the public for various reasons.

After the host introduced himself and livened up the atmosphere, the guests began to appear one by one.

The first one is Cleefia.

Although she is over fifty years old, she looks like she is only in her early thirties.

Just as she herself said, she still looks young.

Her elegant and composed demeanor immediately drew cheers from the audience upon her appearance.

Especially after her birth date appeared on the big screen.

"This must be the guest Richard invited to preside over the event."

Chang Yun remarked with emotion, "I've heard them say that certain races in the Western Continent age relatively quickly, but this person on stage is like a miracle."

"No wonder the audience reacted so enthusiastically."

The "enthusiastic" reaction he described was, in reality, captured on camera as a collective display of shock.

Lu Wantang glanced sideways at the screen broadcasting the message on the wall.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think they were all surprised by Cleefia's presence."

It's not that her face really doesn't look old, nor how much such maintenance must cost.

“It is indeed surprising.” Chang Yun’s gaze remained fixed on the stage outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. “Generally, as singers get older, their voices will deteriorate. This is an inevitable natural process… It’s hard to say how much of their strength Cleifia can bring out.”

However, this is common knowledge.

After learning Clementa's age, no one would laugh at her for not being as good as she used to be.

Because everyone gets old.

After Clementa, the second guest to appear was named Louis, who is skilled in rock and rap.

His appearance is quite ordinary in the industry, but judging from his cyberpunk style, he must be a very unique person.

Some audience members clearly did not recognize him at first glance.

But after the host introduced his representative works, the cheers and applause became extremely enthusiastic.

Chang Yun commented: "Compared to that Ms. Clementine, the ones who appeared later are more competitive."

The four players who came on after Louis.

Two women, one man, and a four-person band.

What they have in common is that they are all quite talented, but currently they are not very popular.

Among them are many singers who were once very popular.

"That Rosalyn was completely dragged down by the company."

"She became famous overnight with one song, and her second song made her famous throughout the continent. Many people thought she was definitely going to be the next pop diva."

"As a result, the company was exposed to various problems, and the senior management still wouldn't let go of her contract, and the two sides were constantly in litigation."

Ironically, at times like these, there are many competitors who don't want to see her grow.

As a result, rumors spread like wildfire.

By the time she was able to clarify the rumors, Rosalyn had already become a has-been singer, and now her Weibo followers have dwindled to just a few hundred thousand.

Chang Yun said with a hint of regret, "If the company hadn't had this incident, she might have appeared on the show next door tonight."

"Fortunately, she is more than ten years older than Chen Yubai, so they are about the same age. She must be Chen Yubai's biggest rival."

After talking about Rosalin, who had the most striking appearance, Chang Yun brought up the others.

"Metal bands... well, there's no need to say more about them. The reason they're not very popular is that they mostly play niche music, like heavy metal rock."

Many people are familiar with this category of rock music.

But there aren't many people who truly like it.

"Actually, they sing pop songs quite well, and they also have strong songwriting abilities... It seems they have written quite a few songs for other singers in the industry."

If we disregard star power and only consider current popularity and buzz, aside from the suddenly emerging Chen Yubai, metal bands would probably be ranked number one.

“The lead singer and Richard are good friends, so it’s not surprising that he accepted the show invitation.”

Lu Wantang listened while checking information, and looked up when she heard this:

"They're talented and capable, but they're not famous enough because they have too many scandals?"

"Should be?" Chang Yun said uncertainly, "But they're all scandals related to private life."

For example, he was publicly criticized by his ex-girlfriend for cheating on his girlfriend multiple times, and he swore at fans and gave them the middle finger.

"Some of the negative rumors are true and some are false. The main issue is that they had a very bad falling out with their previous company. After signing with a new company, their popularity hasn't improved much."

Lu Wantang said "Oh," signaling Chang Yun to continue the 'introduction'.

Compared to the host's endless praise and the splendid personal profile, a little bit of gossip is more attractive.

"The next two people to appear are those who are closest in age to Xiao Chen."

"One is Sean, who has been in the industry for three years. He is signed with a small company and has few resources. He is not a singer-songwriter."

“He didn’t come from a talent show, and he only has a few representative works. Many viewers think he might just be there to make up the numbers.”

"The other one is Dolly. She debuted two years ago and came from a talent show. She was the runner-up in that talent show."

In talent shows, the second place winner is the one who is most easily overlooked.

Dolly was clearly the same.

"Her musical style is quite diverse. The three albums she has released have completely different styles. In addition, her appearance is not outstanding, so there is nothing memorable about her overall appearance."

Moreover, the runner-up signed with a large company.

After Dolly's two albums failed to gain traction, the company stopped allocating resources to nurturing her.

Lu Wantang nodded knowingly: "She hasn't found her own style yet."

A singer can have a variety of styles, or rather, can sing any kind of song.

However, it is essential to find your niche, know what type of music you are good at, what style you should focus on, and ideally develop your own unique style.

After all, there are so many singers in the industry, but how many can the audience really recognize?

The six guests made their appearance one by one.

Chang Yun also shared a lot of unverified gossip.

After reviewing the information of several people, Lu Wantang said with considerable interest:

"Richard's selection of people is very interesting."

"They have all topped the West Coast New Song Chart, and more than once or twice."

The new song chart updates quickly and frequently, but not everyone has ever reached number one.

"This must be Richard's selection criteria."

"He must have a lot of faith in the prestige of the number one spot on the new song chart."

Chang Yun nodded in agreement.

To make it onto the new song chart, a song can be good, widely sung, or the singer can be very talented, or it can be due to good luck or effective marketing.

It is possible to be number one multiple times, and it is highly likely that all four are present.
