So in case no one has explained to you, this song was a huge hit in China. It was taken from an idea from a video game (hence the video game sounds) where a young boy sets out to rescue a princess from a dragon, save the kingdom, and hopefully get permission from the king to marry the princess. It's funny because everyone has very long names. In the first chorus, the boy introduces himself to the king saying "I am called - Dala Bengba Ban De Beidi Boduo Bilu Weng" The King asks him to say it again and then repeats it. In the second chorus, the dragon and boy repeat the dragon's name "Kun Tu Ku Ta Ks Ti Kao Te Su Wa Xi La Song" The whole thing is a tongue twister of long names repeated at the end telling the king how the boy defeated the dragon and rescued the princess who also has a long name and is from a town that has a long name. Zhou Shen performed I believe 9 songs throughout this particular TV performance show (during Covid). Each performance showed a different artistic side and the audience and the contestants were blown away with his talent. What I love about Zhou Shen or Charlie is that he is constantly challenging himself and growing as an artist. I also like that he does not feel the need to do vocal gymnastics. Some of my favorite songs are the ones that are sung in a heartfelt and simple manner just letting the ethereal quality and tone of his voice seep into your bones as you listen.
@@throga this is the same singing competition that dimash (SOS) you're react couple month ago, although that came from different year. Other people in the video is also competitor, recommend checking them. Personally I recommend from super vocal group in this competition.
@@Yenhongsin77 Zhou Shen actually was on the same season of Super Vocal as the Super Vocal Boys group participating in I Am Singer for this competition. I think Charlie was very near the end before he was eliminated, if I am remembering correctly (been a few years since I watched it.) Super Vocal Boys were the last remaining of Super Vocal. Super Vocal was a competition to find the best Bel Canto voices. Dimash actually was a judge on that season of Super Vocal for an episode (which is why he appeared as a guest singing with Super Vocal Boys (Queen Medley) on I Am Singer. Heh... tangled web.
The real difficulty in this song are the - especially for Chinese - ridiculously long and meaningless names of the hero, the dragon, the princess and the town. The roles are the narrator, the young hero, the king, the dragon, the baby and the princess. Here the translation: Dalabengba A long time ago A giant dragon suddenly appeared Bringing disaster It kidnapped the princess and disappeared The kingdom is in danger Who is the most courageous? One brave person rushed out And loudly shouted I will take the best sword Turn over the tallest mountain Enter the deepest forests To bring the princess back before you The king was very happy And quickly asked for his name The young man thought for a while He said, Your Majesty, call me Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng Say that again Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng Is it Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng Yes that's correct, Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng The hero Dalabengba Rode the fastest horse Carrying the hopes of everyone As he set off from the castle Battling monsters Earning twelve gold coins Countless scars as proof He rose slowly through the ranks In a beautiful distant village Opening all the treasure chests A road full of hardships following him With the sacred moon pointing the way He entered a mountain cave With the princess and the big scary dragon The hero pulled out his sword, the dragon spoke I am Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong Repeat it, Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong Is it Kuntepaitiqin Kaodantasuda Malasong That is wrong, it is Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong Thus, Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng swung at Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong, then Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong bit Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng, lastly Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng won against Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong, rescued Princess Miyamolasunadanixielihong, and returned to The city of Mengdalukeliusibogubiqibale, the king heard that Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng, he defeated Kuntukutakatikaote Suwasilasong, so Princess Miyamolasunadanixielihong was married to Dalabengba Bandebeidi Bolubiluweng La La Dalabengba, Princess Miya Were happy as in a fairytale They gave birth to a child Who is slowly growing every day In order to prevent further trouble in the future The child is to be known as Wang Haoran His full name is very difficult to pronounce I don't even want to say it once (lyricstranslate.com)
Thanks. Anyone who wants to do reaction of the performance should read this. The names are mind blowing & tongue twisting ! Very very few singers can do this cover, for sure.
To do it like how zhou shen does it would mean either a massive amount of training AND you would need the GIFT to be able to reach the notes as well as voice quality. Close to near impossible for someone to duplicate tone for tone, pitch for pitch... In a way you can say his voice is one gifted by the heavens to have an ethereal quality and he put hardwork to control it.
Zhou Shen is amazing. He really good at using vocal position or mouth shape to change his voice. He recently sang "I Am a Star" for Disney's Centenary Animation. The English version was completed by 28 people while the Chinese version was completed by one person, Zhou Shen who transformed more than 20 voices and completed all the harmonies. Maybe you can listen to it and enjoy it.
If you are able to understand chinese. Some of the china variety shows that invited him is bound to have laughter. The impromptu rejoiners and acts in the shows sometimes leave people laughing or clap hands to forehead 😂😂
@@dunicorn I watch all his variety shows I love him! I’m a Cantonese speaker so understand a little mandarin but have to read d subs, he’s the only reason I started watching China variety shows 😅
The first time I heard Charlie Zhou Shens ,I was Washing dishes in the kitchen and my TV was on in the living room and I heard this magnificent voice singing, I stopped what I was doing and ran into the lliving room to see who was singing and that’s when I saw Charlie Zhou Shen singing I immediately fell in love with his voice. His voice sent such pleasure and goosebumps to my soul and my whole body. From then on I couldn’t get enough of his voice. ❤
Zhou Shen is the only singer I like in my 40+year old life! His singing can give me a feeling of being there firsthand. I have known him for over two years, but every stage can give me different surprises. In addition to his professional abilities receiving unanimous praise in the Chinese industry, his "little sun" personality also makes everyone who knows him fall in love with him. Zhou Shen is currently very popular in China, and can be said to be a top singer with millions of fans. He is also a favorite singer of the Chinese government, and every national level evening party will definitely have Zhou Shen. Sincerely hope to have more reactions from Zhou Shen, you will definitely fall in love with him!
Zhou Shen's well known for his angelic voice, professional skills, voice switching, emotional delivery and languages. There's no special voice effects in his singing. And, he's the one of the few vocals who always insists to sing live in all events even for whole rehearsals. His talents, attitude and professionalism are soooooo impressive and respectful. ❤❤❤
“Time to say Goodbye” “The song of heaven island” “Baby” in this song he sang with Russian and Chinese. Love your guys!!!! ❤ Hope you will hear more of his songs.
Charlie Zouh Shen in my opinion is the EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD. NO ONE ELSE CAN EVEN COMPETE AGAINST HIM HE IS SUCH A MAGNIFICENT SINGER AND PERFORMER.
And The Last part was a NEW BORN BABY Voice. (Aft The Prince had Successfully Rescue the princess from the DRAGON, they Got Married & the New Born Baby was the Last Character Which Zhou Shen had Played with his Vocal)
Love your reaction to Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen perfectly showcased 6 different voices all by himself! He performed a stage play using his own singing voice. It was truly amazing! Please keep doing your reaction to Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen is a singer who can master various styles and types of works, which is very precious. His music, like himself, always warms people's hearts and deserves to be heard worldwide❤❤
He can do many languages songs too ❤ like his 9 languages Let it Go cover 😊 He is my favorite artist,...actually his personality is also good ❤ We love Zhou Shen
There is also a multi language version music video of the song Florasis where he switches to several languages. It’s a beautiful song and I don’t know how he is able to switch to different languages so flawlessly.
I love this reaction video because it’s so fun seeing other people’s reactions when they listen to this the first time. I’ve heard ShenShen (that’s how we fans call him) sing in a similar style prior to this performance but I was also mind blown watching this the first time. This song went viral in China when he performed it in early 2020 and made him a household name, even for those people who don’t normally listen to music.
This is a tongue twister song that went viral a few years ago in China. Dala Beng Ba is just the first part of the "hero's" name. And he plays 4 parts. He won first place in that round. Such an amazing singer. How about an original song next? Big Fish.
I enjoyed your reaction. For those enjoying tone manipulation:《四大名著連連看》(2023 New Year's eve recorded performance),《I'm a star》(Disney - Wish, Chinese edition 2023),《算你狠》(2022) Zhou Shen 周深 key milestones《大魚》,《光亮》,《若梦》,《灯火里的中国》(2021 Chinese New Year live and 2023 Chinese Opera House). Copy the song name in the bracket and search on RU-vid.
the original song was singing by 28 person but ZhouShen finished it on him own for the chinese version. btw this song is the theme song for disney film 《Wish》
For your information to tell you a bit of his background. He got vocally bullied a lot when he was young because his voice didn't change during puberty. He even tried to tone down his voice to avoid those verbally bullied. He went to study dentistry in Ukhine but because of the language barrier and also because all of them were in medical terms and also not his mother tongue, he needed to go through the translation every single night and finally he changed to study Classical music there. He was graduated in Classical music in Ukraine. He can sing over at least 12 different languages. He also can sing over so many different voices in one song, one of them which is the one you guys reacted to today. He is a very funny, polite, and very humble guy. His fans are all over the world, He also Broadcast live concerts online every single Birthday to his fans even though he doesn't like to celebrate his own birthday but he has done it only for his fans for over 9 years by now. In my own opinion, a lot of songs can heal your body but not your soul. Zhou Shen's song can do both especially can heal your soul completely. Thank you for reacting to Zhou Shen's performance and especially thank you to the person who is Dimash's fan and recommended Zhou Shen to you guys. Thanks.
I enjoyed Zhou Shen's performance on The Voice of China back to 2014, but since I listened to Dimash on singer 2017, I was completely hooked by his amazing powerful voice since then. By the way ,will you go to Dimash concert in HK or Hungary? @@panso197
The song was originally sung by a VocalVoid. It was a last minute change of choice for this competition, so had only few hours of rehearsal after rearrangement. The names of the Hero/ Princess / Drangon/ Baby. and Town are very long, more than 12 words. Maybe could react to " Cowboy very busy " , a duet " Laughing song" and his signature song "Big Fish " ( which he does alot of different variations endings ). Also 2 duets " Doomsday Spaceship and " Cassini " (about the end cycle of the satellite ). Last two was written and performed by Tang Hanxiao , one is a live performance, the other MV with NASA clips
Incredible isn’t it! Zhou Shen interpreted 5 characters in this song, Princess, the King, Dalabambathe Knight! And the dragon! This is the theme song of a video game many years ago! We never expected he can be so talented! He was named Treasure boy in China! ❤❤❤❤
7:38 ~ 7:40 the moment of highlight. He delicately laid down his hands, trying the best in order not to disturb Zhou Shen's singing and performance. It looks sweet and fanny.
The whole idea was that the original song wasn't meant to be sung by human, it was a fun idea from an online creator who came out with a video game-like tune add on with gibberish nonsense super long names as lyrics (to mock the trend of using long usernames in China) to tell a typical fairytale story of how a hero save the princess and he put both the music and lyrics into the Chinese version of the vocaloid software (like Hatsune Miku) and was sung by Luo Tian Yi the Chinese vocaloid singer -an AI-ish vocal. The original was kinda popular among the kids at first, and Zhou Shen took a huge risk in this competition to change from his original choice of another song to this song last minute, the complexities: his own idea to use different voices, the super hard to pronounce gibberish names, the speed up part (not sure why but I think it has to do with him challenging the original thinking of: Who says human can't do better than AI/software in a crazy song like this?
Charlie Zhou Shen is my adored singer. He insists on singing live no matter how difficult the song is. Since I know him, I only listen to his songs every day. Please listen his more recent songs, and you will find that he can manage different styles perfectly.
We warned you about this song. To hear him sing in his hi/female register listen to him sing with Sa Dingding Upwards to the Moon. Their two voices just blend together so beautifully.
You guys will love Zhouzhen forever when you continue to react his performance. And zhoushen will become international treasure in the music. He can be everything….
I have been waiting for you to react to Zhou Shen and glad that you enjoyed it. :) If you want to see more of him, I would recommend in your third reaction to listen to one with a totally different style from Memory and Dalabengba - “Ring the door bell and listen myself” or “Moonlight”. The former is dark and Zhou Shen delivered it with a lot of amazing vocal expressions; the latter also showcases his amazing skills in singing but more importantly he is not having the skills to overtake the emotional expression in this song. It is heartfelt and I have repeated Moonlight a hundred times myself and still cannot get enough of it.
You guys are getting to be my favourite reactors! I love your joy and your knowledge! So happy to see you reacted to Dalebengba - one of my absolute favourites from Zhou Shen. He is clever, talented and funny too, but he also has a dark side. The song I saw Zhou Shen perform first that totally and utterly drew me in was Ring The Doorbell and Listen To Yourself (The Singer 2020). I'm certain you'll have some interesting thoughts and feelings about that performance. I highly recommend it and can't wait to see your reaction! I love his song Big Fish too, and it has an even greater effect on me than just listening to it as a song, because it it the theme of an incredibly beautiful film called Big Fish and Begonia that is intensely emotional. Big Fish was a huge hit for Zhou Shen in China.
Ring The Doorbell and Listen To Yourself (The Singer 2020) This is SUCH an incredible artistic performance. It is darker and so very intense. Just beautiful. It was written by an older man 高晓松 (Gao Xiao Song) who had written in a different person (ie not first person), inspired by his time in the revolutionary army, and his older comrades from that time all growing old. I think he had been waiting for years before giving it to anyone. Zhou Shen asked to sing it, and did a demo, and Gao said he wasn't mature enough yet. Several years later, Zhou Shen made another demo of it, and Gao was satisfied and allowed him to produce it for Singer 2020. Zhou Shen worked with a woman producer 尹约(Yin Yue) Gao knows to rework it in first person and have it a suitable song for a younger man. I believe that Gao was there when Zhou Shen sang it on the show and was totally blown away. He couldn't have asked for a better artisitc rendition of it. You should react to it first. Then you can watch the video with English subtitles of Zhou Shen Facetiming with the writer Gao at the time when they were working on it, and Zhou Shen gets constructive criticism live over the phone. Gao told Zhou Shen he has never in his life seen a singer grow and mature so quickly, from the scared uncertain young man who was first on stage at Voice of China in 2016, to him in Singer 2020, when he did Da La Beng Ba, Ring the Doorbell and Listen to Yourself and all these other incredible, creative top notch performances.
Here is the video where Zhou Shen talks to Mr. Gao , the songwriter, on Facetime about Ring the Doorbell and Listen to Yourself (English Subtitles). Really interesting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wc3OJebGaPI.htmlsi=enf176KI-pNPXUQJ
Zhou Shen was playing several parts. He plays the parts of the king who wants him to find the princess. The king promised gold if he did. He found the princess with a monster who had a very long name. He rescued the princess and brought her home. The king gave him the princesses hand in marriage.. the peculiar noise at the end was supposed to be a baby! 😊
To add, what're more crazy are the tongue twisting lyrics and the preparation time, Zhou Shen's just decided to use this song the mid night before the show. It was known from the song writer who mentioned that he got msg for granting the copy right of such song at 2a.m. right before the show time. So we can imagine how 'crazy' Zhou Shen is!!!
Oh man yes! This one! So creepy 😅 Great Halloween performance from Charlie (yes Zhou Shen) and fabulous production. Definitely got to react to this one!
Do take a look and hear Zhou Shen sing the Chinese version "I Am a Star" for Disney's 100th year celebration. Would be interesting to see your reaction to Zhou Shen singing again in many different voices!
"How many people live inside Zhou Shen's larynx ??" Hahaha, this is a myth, no one knows as Zhou Shen is like an AI, learning and improving and upgraded every year, or month 🤖 I just love watching people being amazed by Zhou Shen ! Welcome to his C929 Universe, be prepared for many surprises and joyous moments. PS: C929 = Charlie Sept 29, his birthday.
His recent performance of his first big hit Da Yu/Big Fish from the Time Concert series is great just great singing with his trademark breathy ethereal tone and his beautiful bel canto. Ring the Doorbell is another great song. I also like his song Humans Are which is an OST for the Chinese movie Wandering Earth 2. Big epic disaster movie. It’s a song that could be played for a James Bond. Too many to choose.
I have come back your channel twice so to await your reaction to this song. Just to supplement someone downstairs, in this Zhou was telling an adventure story in this song, and played all the roles by different tones. Super interesting, and of course it is a super difficult song and he was using all the vocal techniques one can imagine.
Zhou Shen is a such an amazing and excellent singer. He worths being heared by more people. I think the more you listen to his songs the more you will love him as he likes a huge treasure that can always give you a surprise. For clarification, he didn't use any voice effect in this song or any song he performs different voices. Highly recommend his signature song 《Big Fish》. And I recommend a RU-vid channel called "Charlie Zhou Shen North America Fan Club"，they posted many Zhou Shen's performances with English subtitles which can help you understand the lyrics of the songs.
He just recently released a song by Disney call I am Star. The original got a lot of singers but Zhou Shen sing it alone with different voice. Should give it a listen. Not live stage for that cos he said is impossible to sing it live.
LOL, impossible to sing live because there are choruses with five to ten voices that are all him. There’s been a trend of recording multiple live versions of Zhou Shen and having him chorus with himself, the most successful one is the Billibilli “Four Famous Books”, but the sheer number of voices in “I’m a Star” would make the logistics very difficult.
imagine how lucky Chinese spectators were to listen to Zhou Shen and Dimash during the same competition in the past!!!! Please react to Zhou Shen and Sa Ding Ding "upwards to the moon" and you will see how far he can go in the high tones......really impressive
Once, once upon a time A dragon suddenly emerged Causing sufferings It took the Princess away, vanished The Kingdom was in danger "Who's the bravest of the world?" A warrior came forward And shouted: "I want to carry the best sword Go across the highest peak Rush in the very depth of woods To bring the Princess back." The King was quite happy Couldn't wait to ask his name The young warrior thought for a while And said, "Your majesty, my name is Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon" "Repeat" "Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon" "Is it Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon?" "Yes, Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon" Darabumba the hero Mounted the most speedy horse Along with people's hope Set out from the castle He defeated the attack of monsters Gaining twelve gold coins Countless wounded proved He was gradually improving In a remote but beautiful village He opened all the treasure boxes Weather-beaten, he with the company of The guiding sacred moonlight Then he broke in a cave - Princess and the terrifying Dragon! The hero unsheathed his sword whilst the Dragon said: "I'm Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon" "Excuse me?" "Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon" "Is it Gwent-lute Catty-roast Soda-marathon?" "No, I'm Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon" So, Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon chopped Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon, then Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon bit Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon, eventually Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon won Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon, saved Princess Mia Morasuna Dani-cheri-ron, and returned to Mondaruck Reusbergou Bichybarler Castle, the King heard Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon defeated Gwentuklutar Katikroat Sovasirathon, so he married Princess Mia Morasuna Dani-cheri-ron to Darabumba Banderbaydee Boudobirouon La la, Darabumba and Princess Mia In fairy-tale happiness They had a son Growing gradually day by day To avoid the probable trouble They called him Wang Haoran His full name very hard to pronounce I don't want to say it
Dalabengba song was a last min change during his rehearsal of an original song he was supposed to sing. If I am correct , Zhou Shen ( Charlie Zhou) did the changes of the original Dalabengba song in abt 36 hours before he performed. Given such a short time he was able to come out with this song and performed so incredibly good, I am totally totally 💯 incredibly amazed at his talent. He had a tough beginning of his singing career and now his talent has been recognized, I am really really happy for him. Beside being a talented artist and now a very famous person, he is still a very humble and down to earth person with a very kind heart.
Charlie Zhou Shen is an amazing singer with a beautiful and powerful voice. I listen to his songs day and night. He also has a very good character setting excellent models to his fans. Both Big Fish and Dalebengba are old songs. Please listen to his more recent songs and you will find that his singing skills have continued to develop to a very high level in recent years.
Zhou Shen was invited to sing I am A Star in Chinese version by Disneyland for celebrating 100th Anniversary. He sings it with over 20 characters for a song in English version with 28 people.
For me, what shocks me the artist I already know that he's unique. It's the fact that you did that crazy overtones and he's like how did you do that,😅 that was literally the best moment.😱😱
