The unpopular singer Stephanie.

Recommend an unpopular Singaporean Chinese singer-Stephanie.

The day before yesterday morning, a screenshot referring to Stephanie made netizens fry the pot, and even Stephanie's fan Sean came to watch and comment: Ridiculous.

In the screenshot, an enthusiastic netizen recommended a female singer he stumbled across. "I overheard her songs, and her voice is very distinctive. I looked it up and made a debut a few years later, but I feel that few people in China have heard her songs. Great, changeable style. I like green light and 180 degrees best. "

The rendezvous and the green light are confirmed, Stephanie.

In this way, a new word was added: Stephanie, an unpopular singer.

In the front, there are:

Plain-looking Louis Koo,

The ugliest Liu Yifei in the family,

Bad data, Jay Chou,

Wang Leehom had the worst education,

……

Many netizens also continue to ridicule in the comment area:

Then recommend another unpopular singer, Jay Chou?

Stephanie herself responded humorously: The unpopular singer thanked everyone for their attention. There will be new songs soon. Stay tuned.

I don't know how Stephanie felt when she first saw this screenshot.

When Stephanie was called an unpopular singer, my first feeling was fun. Before, someone on the Internet also asked: Why is Jay Chou's Weibo data so rubbish, but his concert tickets are so hard to buy?

The second feeling is that time flies. After 00 and 10, there is an obvious "generation gap" between me and my children.

When I went out for dinner last week, my friend's children chased the Youth League and hummed "What is a happy planet". At that time, I really wanted to sing Wu Bai's Suddenly Yourself.

It's really sudden. Before I know it, I seem to be an old man.

Times have changed.

Besieged by many netizens, the teenager in the screenshot posts again to clarify that he has never heard Chinese music before, except Hua Chenyu's music, but he thinks that Hua Chenyu's music is world-class, so it is not Chinese music.

Many people scold him, but I don't think it's necessary. Just like when I was a child, my mother told me that they used to eat with food stamps, and many times they didn't have enough to eat at all, asking me to cherish food. He told me that before they go out to work, they must record their work points. I was very tired, and some relatives at home hurt themselves.

I know my mother wants to educate me, but I don't know what she said. I can only respond to that black question mark face.

Now walking in the street, stepping on the music of the times, is it a network celebrity song of various short video platforms, or a poisoned and brainwashed divine comedy.

Maybe we will hum along unconsciously, but we know what music we really like in our hearts.

On June 9 last year, Stephanie debuted for 20 years. Without any publicity, she wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans, sang and talked about life at night, and held an online concert.

The screen is full of "perfection" and "good listening", and the familiar song rings again, which brings us back to that era.

Stephanie studied piano at the age of 5 and sang at the age of 10. She likes singing since she was a child, and sometimes she sings until the neighbor next door tells her to shut up.

Her father is the founder of her music career. When she was in college, her mother admitted her to Li Weisong Conservatory of Music. She studies singing at school and is the lead singer of the campus band.

1998, Zhou Jianhui, who will soon become the chairman of Warner Music, visited the Li Weisong Conservatory of Music. He was attracted by his voice and said that he could sign a contract, but Sun's father insisted that his daughter finish school.

Warner waited for a new guy for two years.

In 2000, the Chinese music scene was green and yellow. Stephanie graduated and signed with Warner. In June of that year, her first album of the same name made a good start, and a song "Dark Sky" became famous at one fell swoop.

On the cover of the album, Stephanie squatted on the ground and wrote "No 22-year-old girl can sing like this". This album became the annual sales champion in Taiwan Province and helped Stephanie win the Best Newcomer Award in the 12 Golden Melody Awards.

Inspired by Taiwanese folk songs, the sky is dark and black with a simple piano, and the timbre is smooth. Stephanie's singing is like telling a story about growing up: about childhood, about the present, about missing grandma, even if it rains, we should go forward bravely.

As long as the prelude of this song starts, I can hum along. I was afraid of the dark when I was a child, but I'm not afraid now.

I have to say that Stephanie has a unique charm, her voice recognition is high, her singing style has a strong personal style, her singing style is changeable and emotional, and her music is full of imagination and creativity.

In her songs, we can see ourselves.

The following year, she won the 15 newcomer award. From 2000 to 2003, she released seven albums in a row, sweeping the charts.

At that time, there was no concept of "top flow", and she was undoubtedly the "top flow" at that time. Musically, she is like a listener, who understands other people's ideas and can especially sing a girl's heart.

I will "fall in love with someone desperately" and I will "miss the simple and beautiful little happiness of the past".

It means "appreciate love and hate directly" and "no one opposes happiness, and there is no time to waste".

Understand that "you may not see the result if you pay", but always believe that "love is right".

One of my favorite songs is "Beginning to Understand":

I didn't understand the truth about Sang Song until many years later:

At this time, Stephanie's strength, luck and resources are very good. Seven albums in three years is a happy time for fans, but for her, it means great work intensity and mental stress.

"When I was busiest, I only slept for 2 hours a day. Sometimes I remove my makeup at 2 am, get up at 4 am to make up a new performance, and often go back to the hotel to sleep. "

After a concert, Stephanie said to her fans, "It's true that you won't see me for a year, but I want to tell you that I will come back and get better." .

She decided to rest and find herself, and announced a year off work.

Since then, she has returned many times. The reasons are both professional and personal. She said, "I need to rest and get back to life. When you have more things, it will occupy you, and finally your things will own you. You cannot become like this. "

"I don't like to let my work beat me."

A reporter once asked her: Why do you think you can retreat if you want and enter if you want? How many people like you?

She was stunned and speechless.

When participating in "Tomorrow's Son", contestant Li Zelong said that he was a Stephanie fan of 12 and could sing more than 80 Stephanie songs.

"I like you for twelve years, but I had no money when I was a child, so I didn't see your concert. After that, you didn't have much concerts. "

I am filled with emotion.

Now, I often watch Stephanie's daily life on Weibo. Although I don't send it often, I feel very happy as long as I see it. Like an old friend I've known for a long time. Knowing that she is happy, you are happy.

She has a husband who has been in love for many years and a pair of lively and lovely children. When I am not busy, I will accompany my family and bake pigskin, but I will not hold concerts.

Sina Weibo @ Stephanie

That is, on June 9 last year, I was lucky enough to watch her online concert.

This is also fate.

The person you love is around and can do what you like. I think she should be happy.

How time flies! I only went to primary school in 2000, and now many of our children are in primary school. Fortunately, my memory has always been good. I can still remember many things I experienced as a child, my feelings and emotions at that time.

At that time, we listened to songs, either bought tapes and CDs or watched TV. I did well in the exam once. When my grandfather was happy, I pestered him to buy me a repeater.

Since then, most of my pocket money has been used to buy tapes. I can't forget the joy of opening a drawer full of tapes. When my classmates came to my house, I took out my repeater and proudly asked them to order songs. Then we sat and listened quietly.

Simple, simple, but very happy.

After the advent of mp3, tapes gradually fell out of fashion. People who like music carry mp3 players in their pockets and headphones in their ears wherever they go. That feeling is really cool. Who would have thought that now that wireless Bluetooth headsets have come out, who would have thought that the function of mobile phones would be so powerful?

Every time I go to KTV, I always order some old songs. To tell the truth, sometimes I want to learn some new songs that are popular now, but I just can't get excited. After listening to it several times, I put it down. Even after learning songs, I still don't want to order when I get to KTV.

I don't want to grab wheat with others, and I'm too lazy to sing with others. They will. I won't. I can only sing a few songs.

Most of my enthusiasm is in the past. Now let me continue this love quietly.

I once laughed at my elders. What song did I sing? So old!

Now people laugh at me.

I finished singing with a smile.

I like Tayu Lo, Wu Bai, Jonathan Lee, Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shen Che, Xiao Gang, Stephanie and Teresa Teng. ...

I also like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau. ...

Two years ago, when I was a graduate student, I posted two posters in my closet, one from Bruce Lee, the other from Chow Yun Fat, and kraft paper. At first glance, it is really an antique of the last century.

At the end of last year, I watched all the classic movies of Fage, from Hero to Hot-blooded Man, from Prison Storm to Around the World.

I have to say, the best choice at night is the previous Hong Kong films.

In that year, the pony no longer wore a trench coat and sunglasses, and let it go. No longer holding a toothpick, with a playful smile on her mouth. That year, in rags, he calmly picked up the money that A Cheng had thrown on the ground, dragged his lame leg and munched on a box lunch.

Shooting the scene of burning money has been unable to impress me. Instead, it was Mark's appearance when he was down and out, the easy-going gambler when he lost his memory, and the moment when A Lang got on a motorcycle for the last time, which made me think a lot.

Perhaps this is the process when we grow up, and we no longer claim to be favored by heaven, but still persist after recognizing our commonness.

Friends who can talk openly are old friends.

They're the only ones who can understand me.

When I am free, I also like to listen to Jonathan Lee's "folk songs".

Chyi Chin's blowing in the wind in the Past.

Priscilla Chan's Qian Qian's swan song.

Yes, it's not as beautiful as this night.
