我的乡村音乐（2023）

(开普敦)
我从乡村音乐学懂用音乐表达自己
Country music is where I learned to express emotions through music.
我不敢相信自己竟被选中参赛
And I can't believe I was chosen to be a part of this.
当我看到你走在街上
♪ When I see you walking down the street ♪
真希望你能回望我
♪ I'm hoping you'd Stare right back at me ♪
我认为自己天生属于舞台
I just think that I was born to perform.
我从小就喜欢看所有歌♥唱表演
I was one of those kids that watched all the singing shows
会从所有人身上偷师
so that I could steal tips from everyone.
嘉丽恩达活、姬莉格逊
Carrie Underwood. Kelly Clarkson.
甚至是道特里乐队,他们对我的影响甚深
Even Daughtry, definitely a huge influence.
但我仍然觉得自己不像任何已有的歌♥手
But I still thought that I'm not gonna fit the mold of being a famous singer.
我会自我怀疑,是因为我小时候被欺凌
My self-doubt stems from being bullied quite a bit when I was young.
长时间都被人批评我不够好
For a very long time, I was told, "You're not good enough."
我的样子和行为都不像一个歌♥手 我没有成为歌♥星的特质
I don't look like a singer. I don't act like a singer. I'm not the package.
没有自信
That lack of confidence,
自我怀疑都影响了我很长时间
that self-doubt, is definitely something that affected me for a very long time.
但我认为不能成为歌♥手这个想法
But I think the thought of not being a singer
比我没自信的事更可怕
was more scary than the things that I was insecure about.
我演唱时的感觉是言语不能形容的
The feeling that I get when I perform, I literally cannot describe it.
我很怕我不够好
I'm very scared that I might not be as good
不像很多人以为的那麽好
as a lot of people think I am.
我自觉是个冒牌货
I feel like I'm an impostor.
不过怎样也好,我也会尝试 看看结果会怎样
But I'm gonna try anyway and see what happens.

(纳士维)
不是吧
Ah, no!
(纳士维市)
为了展示演出做准备
To prepare for the showcase,
(五区音乐酒吧,展示表演綵排)
the artists will rehearse at the venue with talented musical director,
一众艺人会到演出场地 跟传奇音乐总监綵排
即是亚当伯勒史东 -你好吗?
Adam Blackstone. - What's going on, dude?
好,见到你真好
Yeah, it's good to see you.
第一次跟亚当见面,我一直期待这一刻
Seeing Adam for the first time, I've been anticipating.
我听说过他很多很正的事 例如他在超级碗的演出
I've heard so many cool things about him. Like, he was at the Super Bowl.
他做过很多很好很正的事,真的很正
He's done many, many, many, many good and cool things. Which is really cool.
我为甚麽不停说“正”?
Why am I saying "cool" so much?
你来到纳士维之后还好吗?一定很不同了
How has Nashville been treating you though? It's different.
非常好,非常不同,是的 -好
Very well. Very different. Yeah. - Okay.
那麽我们会利用这个事实 来启发我们创造一些新东西
Well, we're gonna use that as, like, inspiration for some new vibes.
还有,你身后都是最领尖的乐手
And, uh, you got the best guys behind you.
让我听听你准备了的歌♥ 我们就可以对它作出评价
So, let me hear it, and then we'll just, you know, evaluate some things.
好的,正 -好吧,非常好
Okay, cool. Cool, cool, cool. - All right. Awesome.
完美的回忆撒落了一地
♪ Picture perfect memories Scattered all around the floor ♪
我非常喜欢怀旧女郎乐队
Lady A is my jam.
拿起电♥话♥,因为我无法再抗拒
♪ Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore ♪
我会唱出《现在需要你》
I am doing "Need You Now"
因为这是我第一次自己一个人
because I've had to be on my own for the first time.
我需要我的家人,但我不能跟他们一起
And I need my family, but I can't be with them.
我过得还好,但我需要你,你明白吗?
And, like, I'm doing okay, but, like, I need you. You know?
我现在需要你
♪ I just need you now ♪
噢
♪ Oh ♪
最后的部分 -怎样了?
At the end, right? - Yeah?
我现在需要你
♪ And I need you now ♪
她能否...因为她必须...
Can she-- 'Cause she gotta--
我现在需要你
♪ And I need you now ♪
(歌♥唱导师,艾力多坚斯)
我们现在还未有那个令人起鸡皮的一刻
We're missing that one chills moment,
因为我们需要那个高♥潮♥
'cause that would make it the climax that I need.
我可以尝试
I can try it.
做到的话就能够把它推上高♥潮♥
I think that's gonna really make it a moment.
做得很好
Great job.
亚当提议我唱高音一点
The way that Adam's suggesting that I go higher
绝对能改变整首歌♥
is definitely a game changer for the song.
那让我在展示表演前有很多要想的事情
It's-- It's like a lot to think about prior to the showcase.
我对此非常紧张,所以希望一切顺利吧
And I'm actually very nervous about it, so hopefully-- hopefully all goes well.
我很喜欢你件褛 -谢谢
I love your jacket. - Thank you.
很有纳士维的风格,你非常投入比赛
It's like real Nashville vibes. You, like, here for real.
无错 -你来自哪里?
Exactly. - And where are you from again?
加州,北加州 -北加州,好的,正
California. Northern California. - Northern Cali. Okay, cool.
我很期待听到你怎样演绎这首歌♥
I can't wait to hear what you're gonna do with this song.
那麽开始吧
And, uh, let's take it away.
好的 -好
Okeydokey. - All right.
我会唱小红莓乐队的《流连不去》
I'm singing "Linger" by The Cranberries.
这是一首关于孤独和心碎的歌♥
It's a story of loneliness, heartbreak.
让人看到自己脆弱的一面 所有人都知道这样的感觉
It's very vulnerable too. These are just things that everybody feels.
我们其实有很多共通点
We all have so much more in common than we realize.
如果你能回头,别把它烧掉
♪ If you could return Don't let it burn ♪
我想你把第一句唱得...
I want you to execute that very, very, very first phrase...
好,明白 - ...更有自信
Yeah. Okay. - ...with a little more confidence.
我感到非常手足无措
I'm feeling very overwhelmed.
我的紧张有点影响到我
My nerves are getting a little bit ahold of me
令我的声音比计划中更颤抖
and making my voice shakier than I want it to be.
因为我想一开始就听到你的歌♥喉
'Cause I wanna hear you right away
不是需要等到后来才发现你真正的声音
and not have to go wait to get to the hook to be like, "Oh, okay. Yeah."
明白,好的,所以要像...
Got it. Okay. So, a little more like--
无错,要立即做到
Yeah. Right in there.
好吧,能认识你真好 -好,多谢指教
All right, cool. Good to see you. - Awesome. Thank you.
我想在展示演出表现出色
I wanna do well in the showcase.
我只想进入一个状态
I just wanna really get into a headspace where
要够放鬆,让我觉得自己是自己
I'm relaxed enough that I can feel like this is me.
欢迎来到纳士维 -谢谢
Welcome to Nashville. - Thanks.
来到这里真好
It's great to be here.
我很期待...
So I'm looking forward--
来听听你唱成怎样吧 -好的
Let's listen and see what happens. - Okay.
你试过一手把闪粉丢进空中吗?
♪ Have you ever thrown A fist full of glitter in the air? ♪
我本来打算弹结他
I was gonna play my guitar,
但卡里弹结他和奥马弹键盘已经非常完美
but it went so perfect with Clay on the guitar and with Omar on keys
所以我放下结他,只想专心唱好歌♥
that I took my guitar off and I just wanted to focus on singing my song.
你试过面对恐惧
♪ Have you ever looked fear in the face ♪
说“我不在乎”吗?
♪ And said "I just don't care"? ♪
其中一件事是要注意强弱
One of the things is the dynamics.
确保你开始时用一样的...不只是大细声
Make sure we start just that same, not necessarily volume
还有歌♥词表达的强烈感
but the intensity behind your word.
我觉得你想表演,所以你不用呆站着
You know, I feel like you wanna perform. You don't have to stand there.
我很喜欢当你唱得兴起时就...
I love when you got aggressive and--
你试过
♪ Have you ever ♪
明白吗? -但我通常会拿着结他...
Know what I mean? - But I usually have a guitar--
我知道,但你必须做点甚麽
I know. But you gotta give me a little something.
你明白吧?你可以的 -好
You got it, all right? You can do it. - Okay.
他叫我拿着咪忘我地唱 我会跟随他的所有提议
He said, "Hold your mic and sing it out," so I'm gonna use it all.
我希望唱完那首歌♥之后会让自己觉得骄傲
And, you know, I wanna finish that song and say, "I'm proud of that. I'm proud--
(雅利莎,印度,孟买♥♥)
即使我被淘汰,至少也是尽了力表演
You know, if I have to go home, I'm proud to go home on the back of that."
正,乐队来了 -是的
Yeah! There's my guys. - Yeah.
你好吗?
How are you, man?
我们一直想把刚果牛仔介绍给美国
We always wanted to bring Congo Cowboys to the States.
而在纳士维这里
And here in Nashville,
这是对的地方 我们的音乐也正在对的时间
I would say it's the right place... ...at the right time with our music.
(基斯、朱里奥、西蒙)
So, it feels like it's a dream coming true.
所以这是梦想成真
等等,不好意思
One second, guys. Sorry, sorry.
刚才...你们平时会怎样开始?
That's like-- You know, how would you start together?
我们通常有个讯号♥
We've got a thing we do.
是怎样的?是... 我们来听听吧,一、二、三
How would it go? Something-- Let's hear it. One, two, three.
就是这样
[speaks Lingala, vocalizes] - Yeah!
这些小细节的影响很大
Little things like that is gonna take it over the top
能够增强凝聚力 -好的
to make the cohesiveness. - Okay.
很快就是展示表演了 我们知道有人会被淘汰
We got the showcase coming up. We know someone's going home.
所以重要的是我们上台
That means it's pretty important to us to get on there
一开始就做到最好 要做就做到最好,否则就不要做
and do our thing from the get-go. Go large or go home, I'm thinking.
不是一就是二
It's one of the two.
发讯号♥一起开始之后 听众的投入感立即更上一层楼
That count off and then the engagement just took it to a whole nother level.
好吧,这就是我需要听到的
All right. That's what I need right there.
明天再见
