A SINGER'S REACTION to "MADHOUSE" (Hua Chenyu) Live!

[@saintpower7109]

There is a difference between a versatile singer and a diverse artist, Chenyu is a true diverse artist!

[@GuyWets-zy5yt]

Welcome in the world of Hua Hua. He s a real artist !

[@Wkd183]

You really interpret and “get” Hua’s music. Hua’s openness to sing about sensitive issues have “saved” and healed many going through depressions or hard times. It makes it so worth it as Hua painstakingly is very meticulous when it comes to composing, working with the lyricists, wardrobe to match his theme of the songs. His quirky body movements are the most entertaining and mesmerizing. As you have discovered by now each performance will be special. He has great duets too.

Hua Hua 🌸🌸, Madhouse my favourite song 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@roser2548]

Good reaction! I love Huahua! He is an artist

HUA CHENYU penyanyi favorit ku,👍 Hua chenyu penyanyi yang unik dan menarik sangat keren 🤟🤩😍😘 I LOVE Hua chenyu ❤️ trimakasih atas reaksinya 👍👍👍Aku tunggu penampilan Hua Hua yang lainnya 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩

[@margheritahooi1266]

This is your favourite song so far. Until the very next song of his you hear, no matter what it is. I promise you. The endless creativity, the beguiling and meticulous delivery, the depth of thought, the surprise, the joy, the wounds, the personal connections we make, the often sheer gorgeousness.......joyfully we tumble down the exciting rabbit hole of the masterful Hua Chenyu.

[@leilei7967]

So true when you talk about how many words/lyrics he can sing/rap. What a performance! It’s like watching an opera show, but you don’t when when is he going to change the genre of the song.

[@luvualways4892]

He enjoying every moment on stage..i cant take my eyes off him... Awesome stage performance

[@EricsByd]

Absolutely!

Hua chenyu is a great artist. I like your reaction.

[@EricsByd]

Thank you, and yes he is

[@oliviali2773]

Really like your analysis of this song. Hua Chenyu is a man with deep thinking. His Original songs always have profound meaning in life. He actually sang the song with his inner soul. I love his amazing style. Thank you for your nice reaction.

[@EricsByd]

Thank you for your words :)

[@christelbodin3948]

Yeah I know what you mean about the lyrics...First time I saw it I was knocked by the catchy song and his charismatic performance..when I got the subs I was knocked again, so deep ...and he gets it together🙏❤️ Thank you for thoughts and reaction💖👍 Love to see more😍

[@c.s.70]

Funny Muse was mentioned. Muse and Radiohead tend to come up with Hua that people notice reminds them in certain similarity of style, voice, and musical/artistic choices+nuances. What's the common denominator? Matt Bellamy, Thom Yorke, and Hua Chenyu ALL 3 of them are of the INFJ personality type! They all have that haunting ethereal quality and voice, all 3 are able to powerful & passionately express strong deep emotions (and complex concepts, esp. Yorke and Hua) melodically and in their voices authentically and with deep empathy and understanding of the human condition, revelatory, even with prophetic warnings or calling towards deeper awareness for humanity (even Bellamy who tries not to take himself too seriously/deeply, yet he can't help it), original/creative, silly/playful, rebellious, characteristic of INFJ artists, they always try to reach for that deeper more meaningful essence. What's fascinating to me is that Hua comes from completely different culture and background from those 2, and yet still manages to make similar aesthetic/artistic/musical choices as those 2 fellow INFJs. What's amazing to me is how these artist with the same personality type can come from such different walks, yet somehow have such similar/common musicality and resonance. Very similar souls those 3 deep down. Music truly is an universal language!

[@sockkiangtan8348]

I have subscribed yr channel. Excellent reaction to Hua Hua. I love his music. More on Hua Hua pls.

[@geneviedeline8705]

Wow ...love this song 🌹🌹😍.thx for ur reaction 👍🏻

[@EricsByd]

Thank YOU for watching :)

[@vanatsakou7773]

This was the first song I heard from him and It really hit me! I don't know how many times I heard it that day and this rhythm was in my head for a while... Nice video thanks!

[@c.s.70]

That part nearing the end was like a Spiritual experience...haunting longing, pain, surrender, undoing, and ascension....pure luminous Transcendence. Just Beautiful.

[@oksi8829]

Hua Hua the best, best...

[@mimid.9965]

Great that you were able to upload Madhouse :) Thank you, stay safe !!!

[@lbrounen]

Thank you for putting into words why this performance grabs me every time I watch it.

[@EricsByd]

I am glad I could do that :)

[@pattypetronillemartin2608]

So cool that you were able to upload Madhouse, this is my favorite version. Next, if you’re ok, I Really Want to Love this World, the most touching lyrics paired with beautiful light music. (Shared on FB group Hua Chenyu Foreign Martians)

[@CC-sr2ec]

You get him 😊

[@EricsByd]

I'm glad :)

[@sarahb.7611]

As far as the "piano" goes, it's just a full size electric keyboard with pedals set into a upright piano shaped acrylic shell. Then to make it look cool they used holographic crunched paper and oth decorations. In one of his concerts he tested it before playing and discovered the pedals were not working and his stage crew came up to fix the problem and that is how one was able to see how the "piano" was made. The technical problem was that the cord from the pedals to the main keyboard was not plugged in all the way. When dealing with acrylic shells it normally takes two people to to handle it so it doesn't twist or crack.

[@lilyi7598]

I’m crazy in his performance , thank you!

[@EricsByd]

You're welcome, thank you!

[@kexinqin4752]

Can’t wait to see your more reactions to Hua chenyu!

[@DQ_Mine]

Thank you for your reaction to Hua Hua. I love his songs, and I really enjoyed your thoughts. ♡

[@icyguy82]

Thanks for the reaction! you are right the lyrics convey many beautiful yet upsetting image. Hua wrote this song from his pass depression experience. this song represent the moment after he take medicine/drug during depression to calm his mind and having a moment of freedom... destroyed & reborn

[@naomiroyle9637]

Thank you. Breaking our old selves to be reborn to who we are. Layer after layer. Brilliant!!

@@EricsByd did you watch "Bullfighting"?

[@blueeven2218]

Thanks for your reaction 🤗🤗❤️❤️

[@surgeeo1406]

This is such a big song... It's the middle song from a song trilogy about escaping depression. It's also a perfect execution, I don't understand how he did it in the middle of a concert...

[@oiyincheng5248]

Please see China TV show Singer 2018 & 2020 have ((Hua Chen Yu = Hua Hua)) more great amazing songs. Exp: Qi Tin / Child / I don't care / Flammable and Explosive / Warfare / Ordinary Path / Light years away / I am what I am / Madhouse / Spring / Seek / Nunping evening bell / Insignificance / Idiot / Drinking alone / Dad I am home / I am not good looking but I am very gentle / Heaven / Alishan girl

[@Wkd183]

Spring is hardly ever recommended, but i love it. Also loved watching the whole episode how he makes his decision on which song he wants to rearrange.

[@joanie2684]

That background voice you hear is Hua singing

[@thanhvan4323]

I love this song of Hua Chenyu, and your reaction is interesting

[@nocturnalowl5867]

Hi Eric, it’s not Wah, but Hwah as the H is not silent. You’re very discerning and thank you for spending your time on Hua Hua 🙏🙏

[@user-sc7lg1fy7i]

Love the last part of Ballad, so liberating for some reason that I can not describe..

[@Sonia-ll9cf]

Hi Eric, love your interpretation of the song. Thank you! Really looking forward to see more of your reactions of Hua's musics. Bull Fighting, New World trilogy, Mayfly, Giant Deer, Qitian ... He has many great works, Each one of them are very unique and beautiful in different ways. Wish you all the best, Sonia

Yey...huahua 🥰😍🤗🙏

[@AK-pd5pz]

In one of the interviews, he said he played with different tones of his voice and recorded 60 something layers into the background singing. Love this song and your reaction :)

[@Wkd183]

It’s always interesting to Learn how Hua Hua comes out with his composing his songs. Don’t understand Chinese so it’s helpful when someone shares these type of information in English. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronda.8624]

I recommend you a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro I would like you to listen to a song of hers called "El perdón" she is a very versatile singer she sings different styles of music with incredible melismas and notes greetings from Spain.

[@siewhwawo3395]

I love this song so so so much😍😘amazing Hua

[@manfredurl6031]

This is more then normal music

[@joan6325]

The last melody he played on the piano in this song is actually melody of his another song 和火星孩子的对话

[@chinchinjung5086]

Love this song. This is why it’s called “Madhouse” 😉 ❤️🌹🌹

[@EricsByd]

Indeed!

[@clearheaded5696]

This is the first time that I listen to reggae-rap, is like watching a Caribbean / New Yorker poet performing on stage.

[@EricsByd]

Very cool :)

[@erykpegaz7399]

Hej Eric :) Thanks for posting this reaction :) Hope you can do that with the other two songs as well...? Take care and all the best in the New Year :)

[@TatyanaMincheva]

Thanks for the reaction! A deep song and an excellent performance indeed! And kudos to you for being able to keep your focus on both the music and the lyrics with such a bunch of noisy Martian fans in the chat as we are :D If you ever get to a Fake Monk reaction, just ignore us, please, we're pretty able to spoil a masterpiece for you! :D

[@EricsByd]

Haha yes it was hard to decide what to focus on ^^ but I managed, thank you so much!

[@edinaedina4340]

@@EricsByd And I would suggest to do Fake monk without subs. He says that people should not know what he's thinking about, people should know only how he's feeling and the context. And you should also watch Fake Monk at Super boy 2013: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noC6cqBmm85gm6s. It is not only interesting to watch how he's changed during 5 years on stage but also because I can't imagine such performance in an European talent show and I can't even less imagine that it would have been appreciated.

[@TatyanaMincheva]

@@edinaedina4340 Yes, I guess Eric will come back to some historical performances in time. But let him first see the Singer 2018 version of Fake Monk. It's somewhat confusing for new reactors when they receive multiple links for songs with the same title (this is particularly true for Fake Monk, since Hua made 3 arrangements having nothing in common :D). Otherwise you are right that the subs won't help, they are too distracting to read and not as meaningful as those of his own songs. Here is the Singer 2018 Fake Monk without subs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-lmJaArdV8b68 And here it is with subs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnyxYmOIm91qa6M

[@vijandrav.6095]

Dankeschön. Ja, die Trilogie wäre toll. I really want to love this world ist Teil 1 und Conversations with Martian Children Teil 3. Um den Text für Teil 3 zu schreiben hat Hua Chenyu ein paar seiner Fans ins Studio eingeladen. Er hielt Tafeln mit Aussagen über ihn hoch und die Fans antworteten darauf. Dieses Lied ist so berührend. Freue mich sehr aufs nächste deiner Videos. 🤗

@@vijandrav.6095 Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte und den Vorschlag!!! :)

[@cronuschok3492]

Regarding to "how many words that can be squeezed in short rhythm" that u mentioned, that's Chinese literature. During Tang dynasty , scholars are like programmers nowadays, the fewer words they can used, the better they are. They used to compete to portray a long story/emotion/conception in just 4 sentences, 20 words or 28 words (the Chinese poem). If you go to chinese restaurant nowadays and check out the menu, u can see that the dishes' names are very short in chinese character but rather long sentence in translated english names.

Rapping to reggae - in Mandarin.😄

[@rubenagg]

He is like a .. some kind of "devil". His music and his voice scaries me. Excelent for low-astral moving

The switching between mandarin and some English in-between is pretty common in mando-pop / rap / rock songs. 😄

Hope you will like 'I really wanna love this world' too. When you shared about yourself towards the end of the video reminds me of that song.

[@phuongdao6046]

If you also experienced depression for a long time, I think you should consider reacting to "I Really Want to Love This World" of Hua Chenyu. In a TV show called Ace vs Ace, Hua Hua said that there's a time he was in a really deep in depression, and he really want to jump off when he standing at the balcony. Then he write this song to kind of save himself. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fNqmxohc-apsk
