Damn Idol Episode 19

* * *

The stage has ended.

The contestants clapped in accordance with the production crew’s instructions, but the judges put their heads together and began discussing something.

At the end of the story, it was Blue who raised her hand.

“Producer, can I see a video of the original song performance?”

Audition programs are much more planned than the public thinks.

There is a script for many parts, and there are times when things that seem improvised have a set A to Z order.

In the latter half of the year, when the competition became fiercer, there were cases where elimination or acceptance was decided even before the performance.

But that wasn’t the case now.

This was because the participants’ song selections were not notified in advance.

The judges did not remember every stage of every song.

“Then it’s okay if we all watch it together on the screen, right? With the participants.”

“yes. “Of course.”

Soon, Way From Flower’s performance began to be broadcast on the screen behind the stage.

“Oh, right.”

“It felt like this.”

The participants twitched their mouths but were careful what they said.

Girl group fandom is lighter than boy group fandom, but if you look at the core fans, that’s not necessarily true.

If you use your mouth incorrectly here, you may be in trouble from the first-tier girl group fandom.

But still, everyone was thinking the same thing.

‘It is awkward.’

‘Why did you raise the note?’

‘It wasn’t raised, but Han Si-on lowered it… … .’

Hansion’s version is the original song, and Way From Flower’s version is like a cover.

That’s not a very great cover either.

This was quite surprising.

I’ve only heard the Hansion version once, but I’ve listened to the original song many times.

In other words, Hansion’s one shot has a more intense taste than the original song’s dozens or hundreds of times.

Meanwhile, the judges looked at each other and nodded.

After the video was broadcast, the first person to grab the microphone was mentor Blue.

“Hansion participant?”

“yes.”

“Why didn’t you tell me? “I didn’t know either.”

“You mean choreography?”

“yes. “You took the direction of the dance in the opposite direction?”

To be precise, Han Si-on did not do all the dancing in reverse.

It makes no sense to dance the basic movements in reverse.

But the key movements clearly took place in the opposite direction.

The hand movement of pushing and unfolding was grasping and pulling with a pin.

The steps extending from the inside out were closed from the outside in.

The movement of the upper body was extended and folded.

What was surprising was that it felt very natural and went well with the feeling of the changed song.

So the contestants didn’t notice at all, and the judges were completely silent.

Even blue.

Han Si-on’s answer to this was simple.

“I thought it would be more fun if you didn’t know.”

That’s cheeky.

This means that I viewed Blue not as a judge and mentor, but as an audience member.

However, when accompanied by skill, such cockiness becomes attractive.

Choi Dae-ho continued.

“It represents a falling flower, right?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“why?”

“When I first heard this song, I felt an ambiguity in the lyrics. “It suits Gae-hwa, but it also suits Nak-hwa.”

“Would you like to tell me in more detail?”

It was a mixed answer, but it wasn’t a lie.

Putting an end to a long night

Finally say hello to the world Hi

Originally, these lyrics are a flower’s greeting that puts an end to a cold winter night and welcomes spring.

However, to Han Si-on’s ears, it sounded like the last greeting before being defeated.

The warm temperature surrounding me

Your hands grazing my skin

I guess it was all for today

The same goes for the feeling that the lyrics about warm temperature give.

Rather than looking forward to the warmth to come, I felt regret for the last warmth.

As if by remembering this warmth, I can endure the coming winter.

Of course, someone may ask whether it is necessary to interpret music that openly represents spring in this way.

That’s because it’s art.

Those who are just debuting have poor songs and have sung them unfortunately… … .

Still, it is music, it is art.

How to interpret art is entirely up to the consumer.

Even if the consumer is stuck in an infinite regression and repeatedly blooms and then loses miserably.

Choi Dae-ho made a strange expression upon Han Si-on’s interpretation of the lyrics and nodded.

“Did you arrange it to better express the feeling of the way you interpreted it?”

“There was no arrangement. “I only touched on musical scales.”

To be precise, there were quite a few parts that would become awkward if we just touched the scale.

Han Si-on slightly changed the expression of the song in that regard.

However, it was vague to be considered an arrangement and was at an acceptable level of rubato (free tempo tailored to individual interpretation).

“It’s definitely ambiguous to use the expression ‘arrangement.’ “If you just change the octave scale and ask for an arrangement fee, you’ll be criticized.”

Composer Lee Chang-jun, who was in charge of technical comments, chimed in as if it were a joke.

“But still, it was surprising that the mood of the song changed so drastically.”

The two then began having an in-depth conversation that could not have been broadcast.

By the time the production crew who were listening were wondering whether they should stop, the conversation had reached a point that could be used for broadcast.

“Wait a minute, Hansion participant. “Is something a little strange?”

“yes?”

“From what you say, it doesn’t sound like you think you’ve changed anything?”

“Oh, that’s right. I think this was its original form.”

“Original form?”

“Flower’s Bloom would have been a song for male vocalists in the early stages of composition. Perhaps the singer was chosen during the production process and changed to fit a female vocalist?”

“… … .”

“So I don’t think I changed anything, I just sang the original version.”

If you stay still after hearing comments like this, you are a person who has no sense of broadcasting.

Regardless of whether I like Han Si-on or not, broadcasts always have to create buzz.

That’s probably the question that Han Si-on also wanted and asked.

“So, in your opinion, this version is the better version?”

Han Si-on shook his head in response to Choi Dae-ho’s question.

“It can’t be. I sang this version because I am a man. If it were a woman, she would have sung the original song. “I really wanted to sing this song.”

“why?”

“It’s a song I really like. “The lyrics touch me.”

“but… … .”

Choi Dae-ho said that much and then closed his mouth in shock.

Because I realized Han Si-on’s trap.

That guy intentionally excludes any mention of the difference in level between the two songs.

No, I am saying this assuming that there is no such thing at all.

In order to dig into Han Si-on’s true feelings here, we need to ask questions like, ‘But isn’t the difference in level between the two versions too big?’ … .

There’s no way I could say something like that.

It’s easy.

‘Wow, what is this guy?’

There are even more powerful gabulgi.

It is impossible to ask Han Si-on whether there was a need to over-interpret a spring song as a fall flower.

If you think about the story related to his parents.

In other words, Han Si-on left no room for regretful words to come out.

However, I can’t set up this stage with my skills.

There is only one thing the judges can do now.

“It was an attractive performance with dance, vocals, and even song interpretation. “I even think that Si-On Han seems like a perfect singer.”

“I thought I would have a weakness for dancing, but that wasn’t the case at all. “It’s not easy to give such a full feeling through a solo dance.”

“It would have been difficult to do the blooming choreography on my own, but I think the choreography that gave the feeling of a flower falling was actually more enjoyable because I was alone.”

compliment.

‘Is it clever or instinctive?’

You definitely want to show off your talents.

However, I know that the moment I boast about it, talk about the quality of the original song inevitably comes up.

Choi Dae-ho was more surprised by that than the level of Han Si-on’s music.

So, after the evaluation, the score revealed was 39 points.

Choi Dae-ho, who almost fell into a trap, slightly sulked and gave 9 points.

* * *

As I finished the performance and sat down, I felt the participants glancing at me.

No matter how long I’ve lived, I don’t have the talent to read people’s inner thoughts by looking into their eyes.

But if you want to try a talent you don’t have.

‘Ah, really, why did that bastard do it first… … .’

‘Would you like to talk to me? First of all, it looks like this guy is confirmed for the B team.’

‘Fuck, the world is dirty. She sings well and dances well.’

Isn’t this something like this?

For reference, these inner thoughts are based on gossip I have heard in countless lives.

As I was sitting there thinking about that, Koo Tae-hwan looked at me and nodded.

It probably means you did a good job.

After nodding to tell him to do well, I started looking at the stage.

My next turn was a rapper named Park Seong-ju.

I was tied for last place with Koo Tae-hwan in the pre-mission, but I lost in rock-paper-scissors, so I was next in line.

‘He is eliminated.’

Next is a vocalist named Choi Jae-seong.

The song wasn’t bad.

The feeling of a hexagonal vocalist who shows outstanding strengths in all areas but shows no special weaknesses?

It’s a bit disappointing now, but I feel like it will get better with training.

But looking at Choi Jae-seong, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

I’m sure I’ve seen this somewhere, but I have no idea where I saw it.

I thought I would remember it while watching the stage.

Even though I forget faces and names, I remember the tone of voice.

But I don’t know.

It’s definitely not an illusion.

I vaguely remember putting on an amazing performance with that voice.

‘hmm. For all that, it doesn’t look like he has high potential.’

Is it possible that you don’t remember being successful as a musical actor or something?

I was staring at him out of frustration, but Choi Jae-seong, who was singing, glanced at me and suddenly made a mistake.

“… … .”

You have to pay attention to the judges. Why are you looking at me?

I felt sorry for no reason and looked away, and he started singing again with a more relaxed look on his face.

I think I’m a timid friend.

Being timid doesn’t change.

I hope we don’t get eliminated and end up on the same team.

Next, it was Tae-hwan Koo’s turn, whom I helped.

Koo Tae-hwan made an interesting song selection.

American R&B superstar LAZY BOY.

Lazy Boy is a singer that no one knows even in Korea.

Even people who don’t know my face will probably nod their heads when they hear the song.

Whenever there is a scene to set the mood in a variety show, I always use Lazy Boy’s song.

Among Lazy Boy’s songs, ‘Slow Down’ was one that was especially popular.

It’s very slow, but it competes with its singing ability.

The composition of the song itself exists for the sole purpose of ‘showing off singing ability,’ so without singing ability, there is no flavor.

So there was a meme called ‘Vocal Reading Reader’, and the song became famous because of that meme.

Personally, I don’t think it’s a good song.

I once talked to Lazy Boy in a lifetime, and he said he made the song because he thought people would listen and laugh.

But I was embarrassed because a YouTube challenge where no one was laughing and singing seriously was becoming popular.

In any case, it was not an appropriate song to sing in an idol survival show, and it was also a song that did not suit Koo Tae-hwan.

Sure enough, everyone is tilting their heads.

Everyone said, ‘You’re calling that?’ With an expression like that.

Meanwhile, Koo Tae-hwan glanced at me and grabbed the microphone.
