快樂男聲:觸動心聲

導讀：快樂男聲決賽正在如火如荼的進行中。在10進8的比賽中，擁有偶像(idol)外型的吳俊餘遭淘汰，現在觀衆們終於可以將注意力轉移到選手的歌聲上來了。就讓我們一起來回顧勝出者的完美聲音並推薦一些適合他們駕馭的歌曲。

在聆聽了各種或好或壞、或普通或怪異的聲音之後，湖南衛視主辦的《快樂男聲》終於步入了決賽環節。經歷過7月23日的那場比賽後，23萬名選手中只有8名過關。

　　After all the good, the odd, the average, and the bad voices, Hunan TV’s Super Boy is finally shifting into finals mode. Only eight of the 230,000 hopefuls remained on-stage after the competition on July 23.

　　這一週的節目中，以往的比賽模式被打破，很多粉絲也因此抱怨賽程過於複雜難懂。所以從現在開始，每場比賽都只安排兩輪PK環節。

　　The show’s old format was revamped for this week’s edition, as many fans complained that it was too complicated to follow. So each episode now features just two rounds of competition.

資深評委巫啓賢和高曉鬆也再次帶着犀利點評和敏銳樂感迴歸舞臺。

　　Also, veteran judges Eric Wu and Gao Xiaosong are back – along with their sharp tongues and ears.

7月23日的節目中，外型出衆的吳俊餘遭淘汰，觀衆現在可以將注意力轉移到選手的聲音上了。接下來，我們將討論本季這些“完美聲音”的特質並推薦一些適合他們的歌曲。

　　 Viewers will now turn their attention to the contestants’ voices, after the good-looking Wu Junyu was voted out on July 23. Here, 21st Century discusses the characteristics of this season’s “super voices” and recommends songs for them .

陳翔，20歲
　　Chen Xiang, 20,

就讀於四川音樂學院綿陽藝術學院
　　Sichuan Conservatory of Music-Mianyang Arts College

這位唱着流行音樂的“憂鬱王子”擁有一副水晶般清澈流暢的好嗓音，觸動人心。再加上精緻柔和的男中音，他優美的舞臺表現迷倒了衆多觀衆。當他談着吉他低聲吟唱悲傷情歌和民謠時，我們再也無法控制心中的那份音樂柔情。

　　The melancholy prince of pop music has a voice that is crystal-clear and smooth. It touches the soul. In addition to his exquisite, velvety baritone, he has swept many completely off their feet with his elegant stage presence. When he croons mushy romantic songs and ballads while playing a guitar, there’s just no way that we can handle any more musical tenderness.
　　[註釋: Velvety 意爲“天鵝絨般的”，常用來形容嗓音“柔和，流暢，圓潤的”。]

推薦曲目
　　For Chen Xiang

德雷克的單曲《Find Your Love》 Find Your Love by Drake

來自美國說唱歌手德雷克的《Find Your Love》是一首中速民謠，在公告牌單曲排行榜中位居前十。儘管與陳翔相比，德雷克的嗓音更加地雄厚老練，但陳翔的溫柔嗓音能夠駕馭任何一種民謠。因爲具備在演唱中詮釋內心情感的能力，這名中國選手一定能夠傳遞出歌曲中表達的甜蜜的憂傷。

　　The US hip-hop singer’s top-ten Billboard single, Find Your Love, is a mid-tempo ballad. Drake’s voice sounds thicker and more sophisticated than Chen’s, but Chen’s tender voice would fit any kind of ballad. And with his ability to interpret deep emotion when singing, the Chinese contestant will be able to deliver the song’s bittersweet message.

王野，23歲，來自遼寧
　　 Wang Ye, 23, Liaoning

擁有超過一米八的身高，王野給人以充滿力量的印象。他擁有一副深沉有力、充滿爆發力的嗓音，聲音略帶沙啞卻不失情深。他可以輕鬆演繹節奏強勁的搖滾樂。儘管有時他顯得有點聲嘶力竭。同時他的演唱技巧尚欠火候，這也使得他的歌聽上去有些瑕疵。

　　At more than 180cm tall, Wang gives off an image of power. He has a deep, commanding, powerhouse voice that is both a little husky and yet soulful, too. He can easily pull off the most fierce rock songs. Sometimes, though, he shouts a little too much. And his insufficient vocal technique makes his singing less easy on the ear.
　　[註釋: Powerhouse voice 是指聲音充滿了力量，充滿爆發力。]

推薦曲目
　　For Wang Ye

安立奎•伊格萊西亞斯的《I Like It》 I Like It by Enrique Iglesia

這名西班牙歌手的嗓音充滿力量與激情，這點同王野的演唱方式十分吻合。這首熱門單曲出自安立奎的新專輯《Euphoria》，歌曲中安立奎很好地演繹出如何將情感融入到節奏強勁的舞曲中，在展現性感的同時又兼顧深情。或者通過這種演唱方式，王野能夠突破自我。

　　The power and passion in the Spanish singer’s voice fits perfectly with Wang‘s singing style. This hit single from Enrique Iglesias’s new album Euphoria is a good example of how Iglesia can put emotion into a dance song with strong beats – being both sentimental and sexy at the same time. Maybe that approach will be just the thing to turn Wang into a breakthrough artist.

劉心，22歲，來自遼寧
　　 Liu Xin, 22, Liaoning

一頂草帽，大大的黑框眼鏡，這位R&B創作型歌手將可愛外表以及酷酷的嗓音結合起來。他的嗓音富有磁性且靈活多變，令人讚歎的寬廣音域適合演繹R&B曲風。但爲了成爲一位完美R&B歌手，胖乎乎的劉心也許要多點鍛鍊才行。

　　In his straw hat and big, black-framed glasses, the R&B singer-songwriter combines a cute look with a cool voice. He has a magnetic and flexible voice with an impressive vocal range that’s well-suited to the R&B genre. But to be a perfect R&B songster, the less-than-slim Liu may need to start exercising a little more.
　　[註釋: Magnetic 可形容嗓音“有磁性，有吸引力的”，flexible 是指能夠在不同的音高之間靈活轉換。]

推薦曲目
　　For Liu Xin

Jason Derülo的《Ridin’ Solo》 Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derülo

劉心富有節奏感的聲音十分適合演繹《Ridin’ Solo》這首歌曲，作爲美國R&B歌手Jason Derülo最新專輯中的熱門單曲，它已經拿下了英國R&B單曲榜的冠軍，併成爲公告牌排行榜Top 10單曲。這首節奏歡快的R&B歌曲顯得有點缺乏原創性，倘若由劉心來演繹想必聽上去會更有趣。畢竟，他很善於抓住時機，調動聲音來將歌中蘊含的情緒放大。

　　Liu’s rhythmic voice would find a home in Ridin’ Solo, American R&B singer Jason Derülo’s hit single off his debut album, which has topped the UK R&B Chart and reached the Top 10 on Billboard. This buttoned-down R&B song with an upbeat tempo may sound like more fun when Liu sings it. After all, he knows exactly when to deploy his lilt to ramp up a song’s melodrama.
