The lyrics and music of the song "Heartbeat" are very high-quality. It is a work without any explosive points, but with a strong meaning. The effect of this kind of song will be very different when performed by singers of different levels.
The first time I listened to the original singer Lin Xiaopei’s version, I paid close attention to this good song, but no matter the original singer, or the nearly 10 album covers and live versions I listened to later, they all made me feel A girl with a 100-point beauty index, but her clothes only pass 60 points. A singer with more comprehensive skills only scores 70 points to me.
It wasn't until Kit Chan Chan's comeback cover album "Retranslation" included this song in 2011 that I felt that my clothes were finally 100 points,
even more. Although I was pleasantly surprised, I also felt that this was not surprising. Kitty Chen was originally a master among masters. In fact, at that time, Kit Chan's version of "Heartbeat" and the entire album had already received a very good response in the Hong Kong market, but it was still the incomparable influence of "I Am a Singer" that brought this song to the public. Many people even mentioned " "Heartbeat" I thought Kitty Chan was the original singer.
I am familiar with Kit Chan's "Heartbeat" from previous albums, but the "I Am a Singer" version still feels extremely shocking. Compared with her own album version, the "I Am a Singer" version, her vocal position is lower, and she uses her very professional musical theater singing style. In Jacky Cheung's words, it is a bel canto singing style.
The feeling created is even more gorgeous. In addition, you can see her makeup, look and body language in the live version. The overall feeling is simply amazing, noble and close to the people, sad but relieved, that kind of beauty. Behind it are superb singing skills and extremely intense and delicate emotional expression.
So this version, with a score of more than 120, gives the song new vitality. Kitty Chen’s performance ability makes most people fall into the atmosphere of the story after listening to just one sentence. While enjoying it, they think of their own past. This is the highest state of singing.
Original singer Lin Xiaopei commented that his voice is very ordinary, and Kitty Chen's beautiful voice gives this song a different look. The songwriter also expressed joy and gratitude.
As for the question "How to evaluate Kitty Chen's "Heartbeat"", I feel that "Heartbeat" has found the best destination.
It is hard to imagine that it can still be released in the future. There is a better version out there.
For Kit Chan, her level has always been the same, and "Heartbeat" is only a small part of her music. I once again lamented the influence of "I Am a Singer", which made the public think that the song "Xin Dong" belongs to Chen Jieyi, and completely forgot about Lin Xiaopei.
It also makes the public think that Kitty Chan is just a heartbeat and knows nothing about her other aspects.
