rezaf Posted May 9, 2007 at 09:31 AM Report Posted May 9, 2007 at 09:31 AM Hi I have been learning chinese for about 2 months and in a few weeks we have a speech competition in our school and one part of this competition is about singing a chinese song. the problem is that my voice is bariton and all the chinese pop songs I have heard are for tenors. the other problem is that to my ears they are beautiful but not very melodic which makes them more difficult to sing.( I mean they need professional singers with some technique to make them beautiful.) can someone suggest a good and easy song?

Shadowdh Posted May 9, 2007 at 10:05 AM Report Posted May 9, 2007 at 10:05 AM Perhaps 朋友? Its easy and not too difficult melody wise... not sure if I have the words though... will have a look when I get the chance... Quote

xiaojiang216 Posted May 9, 2007 at 01:17 PM Report Posted May 9, 2007 at 01:17 PM When I went to 北京, I was asked to sing karaoke. I had never sung it ever before in my life, and I was clueless. But the song I chose was "一剪梅". I found it relatively easy to get through my first time singing karaoke. I cannot sing very well either, and I feel that the melody is quite easy to follow. The lyrics are easy to remember, too! 一剪梅 （費玉清） 真情像草原广阔 层层风雨不能阻隔 总有云开 日出时候 万丈阳光照亮你我 真情像梅花开过 冷冷冰雪不能淹没 就在最冷 枝头绽放 看见春天走向你我 雪花飘飘北风啸啸 天地一片苍茫 一剪寒梅 傲立雪中 只为伊人飘香 爱我所爱无怨无悔 此情长留 心间 雪花飘飘北风啸啸 天地一片苍茫 一剪寒梅 傲立雪中 只为伊人飘香 爱我所爱无怨无悔 此情长留 心间 Quote
againstwind Posted May 9, 2007 at 01:56 PM Report Posted May 9, 2007 at 01:56 PM 费玉清的《一剪梅》???It's rather hard to sing the song, I think. Hardly can a male sing like him. My recommendation is 月亮代表我的心, a classical Chinese love song. MV on Lyrics: 你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 我的情也真 我的爱也真 月亮代表我的心 你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 我的情不移 我的爱不变 月亮代表我的心 轻轻的一个吻 已经打动我的心 深深的一段情 教我思念到如今 你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 你去想一想 你去看一看 月亮代表我的心 And for one who left homeland, 外面的世界, a classical ballad. http://www.ahpf.gov.cn:8100/news_file/200711710327808.mp3 http://anycall.allyes.com/temp/16.mp3 Lyrics 在很久很久以前 你拥有我 我拥有你 在很久很久以前 你离开我 去远空翱翔 - 外面的世界很精彩 外面的世界很无奈 当你觉得外面的世界很无奈 当你觉得外面的世界很精彩 我还在这里耐心的等着你 我会在这里衷心的祝福你 每当夕阳西沉的时候 我总是在这里盼望你 天空中虽然飘着雨 我依然等待你的归期 I think both are easy to sing.

yonglin Posted May 9, 2007 at 04:51 PM Report Posted May 9, 2007 at 04:51 PM I know very little about the tenor/bariton disctinction (my dictionary says that's someone who is "in a lower range than a tenor and higher range than bass"). However, I really really like mandarin pop songs, especially those sung by guys and those which are easy to sing. I'll make a few suggestions: 我很丑，温柔还有用吗：I almost fall in love with this guy for singing this song It's just so great! (I think he's a one-hit wonder though~~~) The melody is very simple and clear-cut, the lyrics are short and not very difficult, and the song is slow enough for you not to stumble on words. There is another quite similar song called 我很丑可是我很温柔, but i think that one is more difficult to sing. http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&lf=&rn=&word=%C0%EE%CD%C5%B3%A4&lm=-1 对面的女孩看过来：This one is great too. I think most of the song is quite easy to sing and not too high-pitch. But probably a bit more difficult than the above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3IpuKiY-PE http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&lf=&rn=&word=%B6%D4%C3%E6%B5%C4%C5%AE%BA%A2%BF%B4%B9%FD%C0%B4&lm=-1 爱我别走：I sang this song before I spoke a single word of Mandarin. Several singers have made their own versions of this song. It's very easy to sing, but I guess it might be a bit high-pitch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PKMHXsbFz0 http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&lf=&rn=&word=%B0%AE%CE%D2%B1%F0%D7%DF&lm=-1 Finally, I really like 将军令, and it would be so awesome if a non-chinese person sang that song.... it mite be a bit difficult though~~~~ (his voice is not very high pitch, but it's quite fast) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r4cemoom-Y http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&lf=&rn=&word=%BD%AB%BE%FC%C1%EE+%CE%E2%BF%CB%C8%BA+&lm=-1 祝你好运！ Quote

Yang Rui Posted May 10, 2007 at 01:47 AM Report Posted May 10, 2007 at 01:47 AM Just watched 将军令 on youtube. I had no idea the Chinese also had a word for "bling" - 不灵 Educational AND fun. Quote
elina Posted May 10, 2007 at 03:04 AM Report Posted May 10, 2007 at 03:04 AM I’d like to choose 读你： (with Chinese Lyric)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJK7WgQJlhI (with English Lyric) It’s easy to sing and melodic. And I used to sing it to 蒙混过关 with my 五音不全 voice when Karaoke Quote
HashiriKata Posted May 10, 2007 at 06:06 AM Report Posted May 10, 2007 at 06:06 AM I'd recommend 草原之夜.

heifeng Posted May 10, 2007 at 07:22 AM Report Posted May 10, 2007 at 07:22 AM What's easier to sing then a song that you can sing while marching: 咱当兵的人: 咱当兵的人，有啥不一样，只因为我们都穿着，朴实的军装。 咱当兵的人，有啥不一样，自从离开家乡，就难见到爹娘。 说不一样其实也一样，都是青春的年华，都是热血儿郎。 说不一样其实也一样，一样的足迹，留给山高水长。 咱当兵的人，就是不一样，头枕着边关的冷月，身披着雪雨风霜 咱当兵的人，就是不一样，为了国家安宁，我们紧握手中枪。 说不一样其实也一样，都在渴望辉煌，都在赢得荣光。 说不一样其实也一样，一样的风采在共和国，旗帜上飞扬。 咱当兵的人，就是这个样。 But, on a competely different note, an song that contains some easy rap, thus requires minimum singing skills and is really easy to get stuck in your head anyway is this: 歌手：黄立行 歌曲：打分数 Party girls故意穿得辣 就是怕我不盯住她 一个人跳态度杀 帮她打个分数应该7或8 sexy 她的嘴唇翘的so sexy 她的水蛇腰is so sexy party girls好骚 每个有一套摇出18招 想要跟我喝一杯你以为你是谁 知不知道每天追我男人有一堆 天啊扣分给我shut your mouth 要从4变8你最好用力摇 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 满分的女人我找不到 0分的女人都到处跑 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 到底打几分满分不是你 到底打几分34567 OHH OHH 乖乖牌长得超可爱 有礼貌一点都不跩 爱做家事爱煮菜 帮她打个分数给她8 or 9 sexy 穿着学生服is so sexy 她的表情无辜 so sexy 一副在等待 我这个黑马王子把她救出来 爸爸说我不能牵手不能给你亲 这个不行 那个不行 什麽都不行 天啊扣分给我shut your mouth 你这个9变4我放牛吃草 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 满分的女人我找不到 0分的女人都到处跑 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 到底打几分满分不是你 到底打几分54321 OHH OHH High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 满分的女人我找不到 0分的女人都到处跑 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 到底打几分满分不是你 到底打几分34567 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 满分的女人我找不到 0分的女人都到处跑 High heels so sexy Lace is so sexy 到底打几分满分不是你 到底打几分0分送给你 In any case I would be pretty entertained watching a foreign student sing these wahahahah...

rezaf Posted May 10, 2007 at 12:59 PM Author Report Posted May 10, 2007 at 12:59 PM thank you all. singing these songs with my bass voice is gonna be pretty cool. Quote
Yang Rui Posted May 12, 2007 at 03:56 AM Report Posted May 12, 2007 at 03:56 AM It wouldn't suit rezaf's voice, but for other people out there looking for a Chinese song to sing, 中国话 by SHE would be good, if you can get your mouth around the tongue twisters and rap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx_ZN4pJiHc Quote
