Vocal Coach & Songwriter First Time Reaction to Bullfight - Hua Chenyu (华晨宇) | Singer 2020 

Huahua is a genius for me. There are many good singers in this world, but Hua Chenyu is unique. We need this kind of artists today.

Bullfight is very deep. Hua believes that bullfighters are equal to bulls. This entertainment is cruel. So he wrote this song after watching a bullfighting event abroad.

Hua Chenyu says: Being kind is Humanity's only chance for victory 👏👏👏♥️ He is a complete artist and he's not there to please the industry, that's why I love him🙌❤️❤️

Hua Hua said this before performing Bullfighting at Singer 2020. “As time goes on, my thoughts turn towards my relation to the world at large. The more I think more about the subject, the more I place myself in the third person view when I’m looking at something. In this song, I sing about an actual bullfight. I watched one in person. As an audience, my personal opinion is that bullfighting; it’s not thrilling, not rousing. It’s a contradiction. This person and this bull - when one side faces victory, the other side faces certain death. It is something tragic. This song of mine, in the end, it tells the story of this person and this bull. They are both warriors. At that moment in time, the two lives are equal.”

I discovered Hua Chenyu from a fellow BTS fan on a patreon and fell in love with his music. He is now one of my favorite artists. He is so talented.

Composer: Hua Chenyu Lyricist: Pei Yu Arranged by: Bernard Zheng and Hua Chenyu Producer: Bernard Zheng Follow Follow Hey Bullfighters parade in In the name of the fighters The chivalry of the señores never dies The magnificence of Iberia The air has been shredded under the scorching sun Tens of thousands of people dance and celebrate Triumph on the battlefield for the trophy Concealed strategies are valued Follow us MER~ (Mer = the lowing, or mooing, or bellowing of a bull) Follow us MER~ Follow Follow Hey Whom are you waiting for? Please get the bull ready for entering the ring Solemnly and sacredly they pay mutual respect Straightening their posture They then bow to each other Golden embroidery on red silk suits Undeterred bravery shining through their side silhouettes Trumpets suddenly blast The arena is filled with swirling dust MER~ Follow us MER~ Taunted all around the field , it runs endlessly After a few rounds of battle, dominance radiates The picador gallops in to the rhythm of the beat MER~ Follow us MER~ The back is pierced and veins burst open The enraged bull is as ferocious as a demon The banderillero plants in the banderillas MER~ Follow us MER~ Repeat the Verónica (Verónica = A bullfighting move) Wildness bares the purity of the soul Or its recklessness After nurturing the original sin The very same hands now seek to destroy it Follow Follow Hey Heads held high A full-frontal thrust with all his might Till its heart stops beating and collapses A sword with a crosspiece is readied should a last blow be necessary Mixed with the aftertaste of the feast There are no tears in the pools of blood The bull is dragged back by a flower-adorned cart Savagery on full display MER~ Follow us Mer~ Follow Follow Hey Wide smiles Reveling in the smell of the carcass Fervently waved white handkerchiefs fill the air Bull ears are carried by the matadors The best one passes under the Prince's Gate It turns out that He has been chasing after this his entire life Pay tribute to and respect all lives Regardless of stature MER~ Follow us MER~ Taunted all around the field, it runs endlessly After a few rounds of battle, dominance radiates The picador gallopes in to the rhythm of the beat MER~ Follow us MER~ The back is pierced and veins burst open The enraged bull is as ferocious as a demon The banderillero plants in the banderillas MER~ Follow us MER~ Repeat the Verónica Wildness bares the purity of the soul Or its recklessness After nurturing the original sin The very same hands now seek to destroy it *Pre-recorded chorus by Hua Chenyu* Wildness bares the purity of the soul Or its recklessness Wildness bares the purity of the soul Or its recklessness * Wildness bares the purity of the soul * Or its recklessness Watch closely -- Men are scattering under the magnifying glass Nature and humankind are not in balance Prejudice makes the decisions Dangers are set in the future -- For every splash of hot blood here Nerves tingle as anticipated after that electrifying moment Satisfaction is only found in the blood boiling within Dream-like illusions build the palace of art Where beauty and cruelty merge as one There lies a norm inseparable from aesthetics If they are swapped none can enter the swirling mind of an artist There is only half a chance to tame the bold and powerful To gauge how piercing our screams are How risky the bearable level of decibels is in this man-made world Like an electric shock -- a reverberation of dopamine secretion Placed in every single detail Hailed by millions Life hanging by a thread Too chaotic Life is meant to cycle Praying for the devil's demise Imagining serenity and calm Following our kind nature -- the last pride and chance of the victory of mankind Translated by Hua Chenyu English Subs

Finally you are here listening to this masterpiece. You can watch this song with english subs on his 2018 Mars concert.

Mer means moo. Someone dragged HuaHua to a bullfight in Spain; he was horrified. This song is the result. He says this was the hardest song he ever wrote; it took him a full month. He didn't write the lyrics, but he has a lot of influence on them. HuaHua prerecorded all of the backing vocals, including the descant. Watch the MV of this song, and you will understand the lyrics and the purpose of the song. The lyrics end with the thought that kindness is the only hope for mankind. I hope Ordinary Path is in your plans. He didn't write it; the great Pu Shu did. Greetings from a Martian in Southern California.

The Asian singing competition competitors are always famous singers. This won't be found in the USA or UK shows. Western artists won't risk their status by losing in a show like this. I believe the "Artistry" in the Asian shows is sensational... I'm so glad you guys discovered the unique greatness of Hua Hua. I consider him to be one of the world's greatest "performance artists" if not the greatest...Old Timer from Texas.

Bullfighting is a very different song. The grigorian chant opera was his pre-recorded voice.

I truly recommend the music video of bullfighting, I can't help crying every time I watch the music video. You can know what this song presents more with the MV.

You can always check Hua Chenyu English Subs, as they translate most everything. Hua Hua watched a bullfighting for the first time and was, well, appalled. We should respect all life and nature. By the way, yes, the high melodic notes being sung was pre-recorded by Hua Hua. You mentioned the song Madhouse. Not sure if anyone told you, but this is the 2nd song of trilogy. 1st is I really want to love this world (about fighting depression). 2nd is Madhouse (aka OCD). 3rd is Conversations with Martian Children. As far as I know, the 3rd song and the song I Don't Care are the only ones he wrote the lyrics himself. I would like to suggest watching the entire trilogy for full effect. ❤😊

Hua Chenyu always incorporates his philosophical ideas into his music. His music always inspires me to think, and liking him will make me better. His concert is called 'Mars', which is our home. We are Martians, and Mars is our utopia.

You two have become a Martian favorite! Wish Martians in China could watch your reactions. For links to videos with English lyrics, check out Hua Chenyu Eng Subs. BTW, yes, Hua Hua pre-recorded the high background vocals. I'm leaving California for China again next week for another concert. Already feeling the excitement! ❤

Hua Chenyu stands out.. he is above and beyond…. theres none like him in China either. There are ofcourse plenty excellent singers, but most of them very traditional mainstream. Underground music is more interesting than the regular chinese pop chart idols. No offense meant, my opinion based on my taste in music only.

This piece of music is so unique and layered, HuaHua's voice going from very low to "coloratura" I think it is, the rap tirade and that scream at the end, simply amazing! And it's so fun to go "ME-ER" (That's the chinese expression for the mowing of the bull) with HuaHua at the concert 😂 Obviously I love listening to HuaHua's music, but watching him perform is the best!

Hua Hua is one of the most creative artist out there. I have been following him since singer 2018. I wish he did concerts outside China.

I love Huahua's style rap.

He won the whole show, and it is a show for professional singers, it was celebration every week we got a new episode,. Part of it was during lockdown, but we still got it digital version without live audience. So many good performances. I agree, he is a true artist, going in and out of the box, or serveral boxes. He is so cool, so glad you are going to continue to react to Hua Hua. Enjoy your inner Martian💖 life is never boring after Hua Hua😝

Hua Chenyu is an insanely good composer and obviously a very versatile singer! I love him for all the strength his music gives me.

Thank you for your reaction. This song has an astonishing version with folk instruments. His capacity to look at one thing from countless perspectives is unparalleled.

I love Hua Chenyu music style so so so much ❤❤❤

Ok, I posted the lyrics and didn't see that they were already published so I deleted them. Thank you for the excellent reaction to Bullfighting, one of the ones in my top. Yes, Madhouse and Illusion and Reality but HuaHua has a huge catalog ...I love your reactions 🥰🥰

Hua Chenyu won the champion in Singer2020 . Look forward to hearing the Madhouse soon .

Huahua's Mars Trilogy: Part 1: I Really Want to Love This World Part 2: Madhouse Part 3: Conversation with the Children of Mars Part 0 to this trilogy is Seven Personalities, which you have already reacted to ;)

Madhouse❤❤

Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece by Hua Chenyu. It's a pity you've watched this without subtitles because the lyrics are, as you guessed, pretty deep. In 1 of the other comments there's a translation. And it's worth out checking his official music video which is available on YT with English subs ❤

Thank you, that was an awesome reaction, always a pleasure to watch HuaHua with you! 🥰

What a pity you don’t have the lyrics and yes, it is really a deep subject. Please check the official MV. Everyone needs to be kind to the world.

huahua is a true artist

This video from Singer 2020 doesn't give emphasis on the main character of the song, i.e. the drum beats. It's too muted in this version. If you listen to the music video or his album, the drum beats are amazing. Thank you for your reaction.

In 2018- dimash qudaibergen recomposed-rearranged 'sinful passion' to make this song his own and when he was performing the song the dears were being surprised and impressed at his vocals. hua chenyu in the the same year composed-wrote 'bullfighting' and when he was performing this song the martians were being shocked and amazed by his composition skills, his new low tone rap style and how he was able to combine different styles + genres in such a advanced way.

❤❤❤ Bull fighting.😮

I love the 🥁

Thank you for reacting to HuaHua again. ❤ This song is not easy to explain. The bull and the torero are equal.Both warriors and victims. It is about not useless wasting life. Take care of our environment. Being kind to every living being in this world. About Big love. The operatic voice you hear is Hua Chenyu's prerecorded voice, this part has no lyrics it is just vocalising and represents a third party looking down from above on our planet and the Bullfight. What would this third party/higher entity think of us humans while watching this? In the rap part Hua Chenyu is telling us that we Humans must do better and take good care of our planet and environment because: Following our kind nature - (is) -the last pride and chance of the victory of mankind. Which is the last lyric of this song. Looking forward to your next Hua Chenyu reactions. 😊

The Singer competition is friendly, of course there is a winner but everyone is rooting for each other, everyone gets along. This is beautiful to watch. In China, teachers use HuaHua's music to teach not only music but other subjects. There is a university that wakes up students with his music to wake up the entire campus, if I'm not mistaken it's 6am 😅😅🥰🥰

Hua Chenyu❤

looking forward to your reaction to the next few songs😊

He said he will change the role depending on what he is singing And his songs now have describsion what he wanna spread out the meanings of the songs

One of a kind performer. Enjoyed your reaction to this great artist.

The one and only Hua Chenyu ❤

Bull fighting! ❤

Yes. He is so free and unafraid to do whatever he feels to. Then he is such a talent. A performer like few.

Ordinary path, Aliens, and Madhouse are three other masterpieces of his.

So excited!!!

Thank you for your reaction. I love Hua Hua❤

❤❤❤Hua Chenyu❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤華晨宇❤🎉🎉

Quasimodo's Gift is a lovely song with a classical twist to it. One of his earliest songs so you can have a feel of younger HCY and the present maturing artist he's become.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your professional reaction on Huahua's song! 💖

Thanks for your reaction. 😊 I love Hua Hua. ❤❤❤

Hua Chenyu ❤❤❤

Waiting for mad house

Hooray 😄 another song from Hua Chenyu from you both. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤

Спасибо вам за ваши реакции. Они бесценны, потому что вы профессионалы и реально понимаете в музыке. По этому ваше мнение еще ценнее. ХуаХуа для меня нереальный. Сумасшедший музыкант. Поцелованный Богом. ❤❤❤

Thanks for your great reaction.😁

Love your reaction, even if you dont get the lyrics, you were able to feel the mood and yes HuaHua is so deep and inspired the audience to think about this life we have in a world that is really fragile. Cant wait to Madhouse and ' Illusion and reality' is my favorite for now 😁 Have a good day!

好喜歡华晨宇🌸的表演，複調的那一段讓我很印象深刻，每次聽都起雞皮疙瘩，這首歌真的引人省思「性向善，是人類的驕傲和勝算」

Love your analysis 。Next Mad House you’ll get MAD, love ‘Watching You’，my King of the stage ❤

Bullfight is about the balance and peace between human beings and the animals, the nature. I would like to suggest you to watch the MV for this song, it was deep and interesting. Also expecting for reaction on the next two songs you mentioned.

The all quiet soprano in the middle part was also sung by him, he writes and records most of the backing vocals in his own composition which is amazing! Without his wide vocal range, dun think anyone can do it

There is the obvious aspect of speaking out against animal crulty, but it also parallels the bullfighter with the bull - being both heroicly fighting for fame/survivival, but also being bound to animal instinct, being slave to his environment as much as the bull. We don't decide the rules and the game, we only react to the choices given. We follow what society dictates. We think of ourselves as individuals with freedom and free thinking, but yet we follow what everyone else does, what we are each conditioned to believe. We only see a few options and imagine one or two outcomes, rather than imagine other paths and outcomes. The bull either fights or die (two possibel outcomes), Same with people, you succeed or fail. We easily get excited and accept things that perhaps we should second guess in stead of being carried away by political intrigue and what not - just like people get excited and high cheering for something rather cruel, like a bullfight. People are inclined to mob mentality and thus not superior to animals. When we are gone, another will take our place - just like the bulls in the arena. You should watch the MV, I will leave a link in the commeny. Mai

Hua Chenyu Black and White artist and When the whole world forgets me, please too. Again 2 songs in totally different styles. 2 new sides for you to discover from HuaHua 😊❤

Just a genius 😌 Thank you, guys!

I am also attracted by Hua’s fearless character ❤

Thank you for reacting to Hua! ❤

太喜欢你俩反应华晨宇了，要坚持下去啊，没看够

Hua Chenyu❤😂

You should also react to two duet performances that Hua Hua did on a show called "The Next." The songs are called Nanping Evening Bells and Perhaps Love. The first song was a song that he rearranged along with his duet partner within 24 hours. The second song was from a musical and has that Broadway feel that I think Richard in particular will really enjoy since he likes musical theatre. These two performances were also all the way back in 2016 so you'll get to see him a bit younger. Hope to see Hua Hua in a reaction Wednesday someday! Enjoyed this reaction! 👍

Just type in Bullfight His chenyu with eng subs

Hua has 148 sides😂you can find them in his different performances. Each of them continues give you surprises. Please at least react all of his performances in Singer 2018 and 2020❤

So excited can't wait 😂😅😅

Next to react is his Martian concert song called 'Madhouse'

独一无二的艺术家❤

Was there an announcement for this reaction? I am sad I missed it! This was definitely a musical trip!

He can also sing angelically. Pls react his “child” to see his another side.

Thank You! I love Hua Hua ♥️. Amazing song.

Just dropped in to say hello! Will check out this new Artist! Hello Richard & Johnny!! Top of the day to you! 🤩👍👏❤️🇨🇦

Thanks for another reaction on a Hua Chenyu song. Again an amazing song and performance. As you said: he’s so cool!!! All his songs deal with real issues and go deep!!!

“Madhouse “ 2019 Mars Concert. Eng sub.

謝謝你們的reaction 當你們讀懂歌詞的話 你們會更愛❤你們看的有英文翻譯的嗎？😅

Thank you so much for reacting to Bullfight! It is a pity you didn't have the English subtitles. But you can check it up if you like.

It's unfortunate that you didn't have captions for this song. It's a very deep and spiritual song, and I'm sure you'd enjoy the message

Next to one ok rock, hua is my other bias. He is just a gem.

Also his Singer 2018 song called 'Ordinary Path'

For your information, almost all the songs Hua performed in Singer 2020 were not well-known to the voting public because the songs are from his fourth album "New World" which was released only in early April 2020, while Singer 2020 started recording in February. However, he had introduced the new songs during his 2019 concerts and had performed one or two at award shows and other shows. If I'm not mistaken, there were three songs he performed in Singer 2020 which he rearranged or composed for the stage. It's amazing how the voting audience ranked him first, four times out of ten rounds despite being unfamiliar with many of his songs. Hua won the title Singer 2020 with over 51% of the votes. Thanks again for your reaction. P/s: If you're going to do Singer 2020, you can try "Contra in the Wild", "God Tree", "Madhouse" (Singer 2020 performance or recently released electronic version). You might also check out "IQ 250" (recently released electronic version), "Here We are" (recently released folk version) from his RU-vid channel. Cheers!

Two joyful souls 🎉🎉🎉both of you have such real heart and professional appreciation to the true art❤ the reaction should be like this , thank you!

You reacted to 3 original songs from him and all 3 are different songs but compose by 1 man!

Love your reaction❤ his rap is so different and so is his music. He has just released a new version of this song which he rearranged the music with Chinese traditional instruments, it’s super cool😊

I love Hua Hua❤❤❤
