I am trying to learn some songs in Chinese. I really don't know the language but I watch lots of wuxia and fantasy series from that country, and I've always loved the tratidional guzheng and erhu as one of my most favourite instruments.
Hi sir, again thanks for hosting more contests to help steemians ❤
i listened the 3 songs and i could say the one i like most was the one of Angela Chang "A Diao", her voice is really sweet and the melodic is very chinese tradicional style, i enjoyed that song!!
but having these hints in mind :
Diction is the way that a singer voices the words. Diction is a mixture of the accent, syllabic stress, prosody, annunciation and timing of the delivery.
Find somewhere in one of the above three songs where the diction is goose-bump inducing good
My guess goes for Tengri - Heaven, He repeats a lot of words often but his voice power is so powerfull that the song is still good, i guess that is what Diction is all about
I'm looking for a particular part of one of the songs where the diction is good. Similar to how I explained Zhang Bichen's diction when she first says "hua zuo" at around 1:55.
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng )
I miss you, my homeland, (wǒ ài nǐ wǒ di jiā )
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng)
and then he repeat the lyrics again and in the 3:59 he start to repeat these lyrics again with powerfull diction
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng )
I miss you, my homeland, (wǒ ài nǐ wǒ di jiā )
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng)
No. 1 SBI sent for your first guess. Truly awesome diction in this song.
"wǒ ài nǐ wǒ di jiā" is better translated to "I love you, my home". Homeland is probably okay given the context of the song (jia is home, guojia is homeland). Ai directly translates as love. Anyways.
HINT: The part I am looking for is not in Tengri's song.
I'll leave the guessing game to others. Great music though. Had no idea you were into this. So I'm back to my regular posting after the HF. Man that screwed up quite the rhythm. I'm sure I'll learn all about it at steemfest. You are not going are you?
Can you believe how far I've come since our initial correspondence; I was about to walk on third-world steemit as you remember now I'm going to Steemfest! haha
Hope you have been well my friend. From Odessa Ukraine -Dan
Oh steemfest! Wow. Good on you. Steem isn't without its problems but the potential is greater. Steem is still a third world economy but the middle/dolphin class is rising slowly.
I'm not even going to take a guess at this one. She is a beautiful singer but I don't have a musical enough ear to distinguish the right moment in the songs, especially in a different language. Hopefully somebody will get there.
Wow, you just opened my eyes (or is that ears?) to some new types of music! I think I will come back and try your contest as soon as I have time to give a proper listen.

A competition for already established singers, nice. I expect this to be highly competitive.
😂 @princeemmanuel you should read the post before comment
Lol😁 kindly correct me if I'm wrong or isn't "Singer" (歌手, Ge1shou3) a singing competition?
^^ meaning contest, I will participate. How many days is the contest ended? :o
choose one of the three songs on?
The contest ends when somebody guesses the correct answer.

well let me try again:
at 2:32 he says
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng )
I miss you, my homeland, (wǒ ài nǐ wǒ di jiā )
My homeland, my heaven. (wǒ di jiā wǒ di tiān táng)

Mandarin isn't my first language either. But fair enough, it probably is a little hard this week.
:D
We'll I can try but it would be like trying to shoot an elephant with a slingshot. Not very effective.

This doesn't promises to be easy
Diction.....
🤔
I'll give it a try
Say, do we get hints after every valid guess?
Yes.
楊宗緯跟人合唱的時候，會刻意配合對手實力，大多不敢出盡全力。像這次唱的這般盡興的合唱表演，以往只有一次跟辛曉琪合唱時看到，可以見得張碧晨這個好聲音冠軍果然名不虛傳。b段兩個人真的是火力全開，讓人大呼過癮啊！李健的讚不絕口實在呼應了鴿子迷激動的感受
Angela Chang - A Diao
3:51 You are a free bird
No. 1 SBI sent for your first guess. That indeed was a huge power note!
HINT: It's not during the rap bridge either.
Wow, you just opened my eyes (or is that ears?) to some new types of music! I think I will come back and try your contest as soon as I have time to give a proper listen.
Thanks for stopping by. I have some earlier posts and will be posting more.
