Damn Idol Episode 18

Way From Flower has achieved uninterrupted success since its debut, but its debut song was so-so.

It’s not like I failed, but a little below average?

What made them a rising star was not the title song, but the follow-up song to their first album.

When the performance of the debut song was ambiguous, the company quickly changed the promotional song to a follow-up song, which was a godsend.

That’s why Hansion’s song selection was more ambiguous.

Singing a girl group’s song, that’s possible. If you choose to highlight your own characteristics.

But isn’t Flower Bloom too ambiguous?

The grades and the song’s characteristics.

Composer Lee Chang-jun was the first to speak in an atmosphere of curiosity.

“Hansion participant. “Did you arrange this song too?”

“no. “My mentor advised me that it would be better to sing the original song without any arrangement this time.”

“So you’re saying you’re singing the original song?”

“yes. Instead, the overall height was lowered slightly.”

It’s even weirder that the vocal range has been lowered.

It’s not like I’m trying to brag about my high notes.

If that were the case, it would have been tacky.

If it had been any other participant, Lee Chang-jun would have already expressed a negative opinion.

However, the performance that Han Sion showed was too powerful for that.

The other judges were surprised by Han Si-on’s talent, but Lee Chang-jun was not impressed to that extent.

Because I have made a living by composing music for many years, I know that what Han Si-on has accomplished is close to impossible.

Did you arrange it using your voice to revive the boring chord progression of the original song?

This is ridiculous.

Even if you have the arranging capabilities to do it, performing it with your actual voice is a separate area.

“Honestly, I’m puzzled. But I’m looking forward to it.”

So I had no choice but to say this.

Surprisingly, it was CEO Choi Dae-ho who gave the harsh criticism.

“I won’t mention the song. If Hansion’s participants are skilled, it’s worth looking forward to it. But in terms of performance, I’m not really looking forward to it?”

As several participants nodded, Choi Dae-ho added his words as if he was explaining things to viewers.

“Flowers Bloom, as the name suggests, has a lot of point choreography in the shape of flowers blooming.”

Just the intro starts with the members curled up like flower buds scattering as if they are about to bloom.

“It is a choreography that is difficult to express alone. “A flower does not bloom just because one petal shakes.”

Blue intervened.

“Wouldn’t it be better to see it on stage rather than explaining it here?”

“yes. That would be correct. “You were a little ahead of me before I even saw the stage.”

When Choi Dae-ho clearly admitted, trainer Yoo Seon-hwa, who was preparing a comment, also kept quiet.

When the atmosphere was settled, Han Si-on, who was standing on stage, took a step back.

Han Si-on, standing in the very center of the stage, grinned.

I didn’t mean to laugh.

I laughed without realizing it.

I thought the stage would be fun.

Choi Dae-ho felt a special emotion when he saw that smile.

The usual atmosphere at Hansion has a somewhat damp feel.

There are times when he seems depressed and even gives off a whiff of obsession, even though his actions and words are anything but.

But this moment when I go on stage is different.

Take off the outer shell surrounding yourself and show your true self.

Only on stage.

‘That’s what drives people crazy.’

At that moment, the MR of the contest song played.

* * *

When I was young, I wanted to become a genius.

When the name Han Si-on came up, I wanted to hear people say, ‘He’s a genius.’

Of course, I wasn’t a genius.

However, he was talented enough to pretend to be a genius.

To be honest, I think I pretended to be a genius in the early days of the dark history.

At that time, I was a kid and young, and returning wasn’t that painful.

I think I also thought that it was a game where coins were given indefinitely.

But as time passed, my music skills improved, and returning became difficult, I realized.

A genius is not someone who does special things in a special way.

He is a person who takes things for granted.

A true genius is someone who uses all the performance techniques they learned that day as if it were natural, rather than creating sounds that don’t exist in the world with an instrument they haven’t learned.

In the meantime, people who saw me pretending to be a genius and called me a genius were only paying lip service.

Or maybe he was just a chaff who didn’t even have the ability to judge what a genius is.

From then on, I became a real genius.

If you bury all the trials and errors that others don’t know about in your past life, only the obvious things remain.

This was especially true in composition.

I don’t compose with flashes of flair or genius improvisation.

I just choose the most appropriate one out of all the things that have already been expressed.

It’s just that the harvests in my composition farm were dozens of times greater than those of others.

so.

♬♪♪♩~

I realized this the moment I listened to Way From Flower’s debut song.

‘this… … .’

It’s a man’s song.

The elements that make up the main melody and the chord progression of the entire song are like this.

Flowers Bloom is clearly a song written for male vocalists.

However, for some reason, the overall pitch was raised during the production process and turned into a girl group song.

The problem was that the level difference between the male version and the female version was enormous.

If the woman’s version is a song worth 40 points, I think the man version can give it more than 80 points.

Could there be that much of a difference just by raising the vocal range?

It is quite possible.

Building notes is a very delicate task.

Major chords give a bright and positive feeling.

The minor chord gives a dark and sad feeling.

However, the C major chord is do-mi-sol, and the C minor chord is do-mi flat-sol.

It had the exact opposite feeling, with only one flat note difference.

So raising the pitch of the entire song was truly ignorant.

Of course, there is a partial arrangement tailored to female vocals, but honestly, it’s almost like it’s not there.

I don’t know why they ruined a good song, but honestly, I don’t care.

The composer may have been offended by sarcasm and committed self-destructive behavior, or there may have been some money-related circumstances.

What’s important to me is that Man’s version of Flowers Bloom is a very good song.

So that’s what I’m calling it.

Way From Flower expressed ‘flowering’ with this song… … .

I plan to express something else.

* * *

Flowers Bloom’s intro was a cold melody with the flute sound giving a cold feeling.

This meant the winter before flowers bloom.

But winter does not last forever, and spring comes.

The moment the kick drum marks the end of the intro, the warm main melody pours in and a flower blooms.

The choreography was the same.

To the cold intro, the members gathered together like flower buds gently bloom.

When it fully blooms, the choreography symbolizing spring begins with the kick drum hitting the first beat.

But this is originally choreography.

“… … ?”

Han Si-on did not make any movements during the intro.

He just stood diagonally, bobbing his head to the beat.

‘what? Is it original choreography?’

‘Are you crazy?’

Covering the stage of an active senior while using different choreography can be interpreted as meaning that the existing choreography is not good.

Even if it wasn’t his intention, Way From Flowers’ fans would perceive it that way.

There’s no way I won’t get criticized.

The moment the participants thought that, the kick drum that signaled the end of the intro hit.

At the same time, Han Si-on began to move and sing.

Putting an end to a long night

Finally say hello to the world Hi

Dudu- Deh, Deh

Several thoughts passed through the minds of those watching the stage.

The first thing that comes to mind is that I am good at dancing.

It wasn’t a great dance move.

How many fancy movements can be included in a song that has just started?

Nevertheless, the dancing ability was visible at a glance because it was a solo dance.

It looks natural even though there are no elements to dazzle the eye.

Moreover, if you see them performing a stable live performance while dancing, it shows that they have practiced.

Yesterday I never even dreamed of

Yes For Day, the day I was looking forward to

stretch out your arms

Dudu- Deh, Deh

But what was more powerful than Han Si-on’s dance was the song.

The song is good.

It definitely sounded a bit awkward when I first said it.

As I was obsessed with the bass note, which had a completely different scale from the original song I was familiar with, I felt a sense of disconnect.

However, the sense of disconnect soon disappeared, and the melody began to catch on to my ears.

The sound is attractive.

Much better than the original song.

As if this is the original song.

‘what?’

It is different from .

At that time, MR was the same and the song was sung differently.

But now both the song and the MR are the same.

It’s just that the octave has been lowered, and the vocals have a different feel depending on the lower octave.

Originally, Flowers Bloom was a song sung as brightly as a blooming flower.

However, Han Zion’s songs now have a dull yet blue feel.

Although the genre was completely different, it was similar to the fun of post-Britpop.

You can create this feeling with just an octave change?

What did you do again?

The warm temperature surrounding me

Your hands grazing my skin

But no.

This time, I really only changed the scale.

However, not all parts of the song were lowered equally.

The intro with the main flute is the same as the original song.

The first two bars are a full 8th lower.

The next two measures are 11 semitones lower.

The next two measures are 7 semitones lower.

The next two bars are again the original song.

Clothes that wrap you comfortably

Filling, cozy, cozy

In fact, Blue was a bit dumbfounded when she saw Han Sion’s actions.

When I asked him to sing the original song rather than arrange it, he asked, “How is this different from an arrangement?”

In response, Han Si-on asked how it was arranged when the score was not touched at all.

I guess it was all for today

I guess it was for the sake of it, I guess it was for the sake of it

Meanwhile, the song started to move towards the chorus.

The reason Way From Flowers failed to achieve significant results with Flowers Bloom was largely due to the mediocre chorus.

To be honest, it was a bit old-fashioned.

Because the beat was broken into segments and words that seemed plausible were repeated.

But Han Si-on did not repeat it.

Bloom!

Bloom!

“… … !”

The refrain was the original song.

The lowered scale returns to its original state and jumps out.

The auditory pleasure given by Han Si-on’s high-pitched voice, which raised the woman’s height with a sincere tone, was amazing.

Surprisingly, this wasn’t an arrangement either.

Originally, six people took turns saying, ‘Bloom, bloom, bloom.’ ‘Bloom, Bloom, Bloom’ had to be sung like an echo.

With the choreography of six flower petals wide open.

But Han Si-on was alone.

So, the note was held out for a long time and sung only once.

But, it was so plausible.

But this wasn’t the end.

People were waiting for an even more shocking second hook.

Was it more flashy?

It wasn’t.

Did you hit a higher note?

Not at all.

Always wait, Blossom

Always wait, flower

A bass sound that sounds like ice water has been poured on it.

I lowered it a full 16 degrees, or 2 octaves.

Still, it was surprising that Seongnyang did not die at all.

The low notes invert the mood of the song.

As if the previous high note was the last struggle, it wipes out the atmosphere.

Thanks to this, the judges and some contestants realized something.

Han Si-on was not singing from the perspective of a blooming flower.

I can’t accept the end, and I’m screaming that I want to bloom again.

Just before losing.

Falling flowers.
