[Live] Shanghai Audience Aunt Lu
We are all Shanghainese, so we are very kind. I like her (Lin Bao) a lot, so I bought the tickets today.
I hope she gets more and more popular and sings better and better.
[Concurrent] Shanghai Audience Aunt Lin
I also like Lin Bao's songs, "Lover's Tears", which I remember the most about her, and "Shanghai Ballad" are my favorites.
Because she sang "Shanghai Ballad", it brought back memories of my childhood.
[Concurrent] Shanghai audience Miss Zhu
As a Shanghainese, I always have a feeling for Shanghai music, that is, I will definitely not (let me) be disappointed.
[Explanation] As a Shanghai singer, Lin Bao sings popular songs in Shanghai and has become the backbone of China's inheritance of Shanghai music culture.
Over the years, Lin Bao has entered the stage of many countries and sang old Shanghai songs in Shanghai, winning the reputation of "Shanghai Diva".
During the concert, Lin Bao sang songs such as "Song of Four Seasons" and "Shanghai Ballad", making the audience feel as if they were on the brightly lit stage of Shanghai Paramount.
Lin Bao, wearing a cheongsam, showed the Shanghai style culture vividly in Wu Nong's soft voice.
[Concurrent] Singer Lin Bao
From my own senses to the audience's reaction, I think it is really very good.
But I feel that this is not my own contribution, it is really the result of the hard work of dozens of teachers in front of and behind the stage.
So one thing I hope very much is that concerts like this, such as "Flowers on the Sea", should be performed regularly in Shanghai, and even I can go to Xinjiang to spread the concert to other places in our country. Act more.
[Explanation] It is reported that Lin Bao grew up and lived in Aksu, a city on the edge of Taklimakan, Xinjiang, before the age of ten, which gave her rich language and artistic nourishment.
After years of experience, Lin Bao's singing style was freely switched from Wu Nong's soft language to the western style, and the audience was applauded.
[Concurrent] Singer Lin Bao
I don’t have the feeling of switching. I feel that as long as the music comes and the light strikes, I am completely seamless. For me, it is in the blood in my bones, and the art in my soul. Now.
So I don't need to play someone else, it's all me.
Wu Nong's soft-spoken Jiangnan style is also me, but Damo Lonely Smoke is also me.
[Commentary] During the interview, Lin Bao said that he has different emotions for the Kazakh song "The Gaze of Love", and his dream is to sing this classic folk song with the audience in Kazakhstan.
