[@fizadia88]

Woah!! That's my first time listen to Hua Chenyu!! Chills running through my veins!! It scares me to the point that I forgot to breathe!! Surely he is a great performer!! And now I realized that The Singer show has brought up singers with enormous talents and perfect skills. Truely magnificent

[@francois5630]

that show is for veteran singer only, you need to be a star in your own country to sing at this show. Each singer can sing only 2 of their songs. Other songs they sing, they rearange it to do something different. The quality is very high.

[@fizadia88]

Francois yes!! This show is certainly on another level! A competition amongst professionals!! The production team should be given the credit for producing such a great show!!

[@mamaneelie]

Wow indeed. He has the soul and voice of a poet and his music can be difficult to listen to as it's raw with emotion. But the more songs I listen to, the more I feel and understand his journey. Incredible 😍

[@caroleroberts2890]

I love, love, love your reaction!! I cried the first time I saw this, and I still cry sometimes. You're right, he is a genius. Some people don't get him, but I absolutely love him! Thank you! I really enjoyed watching.

[@xijingxijing6276]

I'm back to this first reaction you did to him. You understood him at the first time you saw him. I truly respect you. Many people couldn't really understand the essence of him in order to understand his music more. Peace

[@Kay102103]

Im glad that you could feel precisely what Hua was trying to communicate to the audience in this performance. This is Hua for you when he veers towards the artistic side of his ingenuity. The song is a sad reflection of his childhood. He elucidated before the performance that he wanted to convey via the performance how he felt when he was a child. As a child he was introverted and insecure as his parents divorced when he was young and his dad had no time for him. He badly desired love, care and concern but at the same time he rejected people as he was afraid of getting hurt. He felt terrible pain due to his conflicted emotions and he felt himself being slowly enveloped by darkness and insanity. This song was a reflection of the struggles he felt in his sentiments. The loneliness, confusion, desperation, angst and frustration. He confessed later that the song was an extremely bold attempt and he was prepared that many people would be not able to accept it. Many reactors commented that they were haunted by this song for days after watching this performance, albeit in a positive way.

[@brancanorris8933]

I was like you for... like.... a whole weekend..... I listened to it on Friday, then this song stuck in my head for the next 48hrs... I was shocked, I was shaking..... And I even felt my own blood running through the vessels... It's loneliness and madness.... It's just crazy....

[@smylyface]

Branca Norris He definitely gets under your skin. He strikes a nerve with me... I think he's my spirit animal. 💕💕

[@user-ki8lt3kn9s]

me too

[@goodobabywood3963]

Branca Norris it's a piece of art

[@winsonliu9044]

same here! it is killing me!!!!! i keep repeating every song ,every time i have a song from him,i just keep playing.

[@alishabbhuang6988]

Welcome to Hua Hua's world❤️

[@smylyface]

Thank you so much for watching. Yes, he pulled me into his world rather quickly. At 1:30 you can actually see the moment I knew my life would never be the same. Lol 💕💕💕✌✌😊😊⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

[@krevedkadouluo930]

Thank you for your response to HuaHua 👍👍👍. He is extraordinary and amazing 😍 . How much I listen to this song, and every time it's creepy and goose bumps. I love Dimash 😍 and HuaHua 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@carolynbailey3406]

Huahua is special too..He is very expressive in his music....Keep reacting to his music...

[@jannieh1203]

Wow, you are so brave that pick this song to do Hua Chenyu's first reaction~ I really love him because he was born for music. He always makes surprises to us.

[@caspiannite1921]

Beautiful reaction. The song portrays his early life. His parents divorced when he was 3. He was then raised by his wealthy father who paid no attention to him. Often leaving him alone for days while he traveled on business. Hua spent all his time alone in his bedroom creating music on the piano. Hua at times never left his house for over a month at a time.He had no interaction with the world. Hua said he was never shown any love and he didn't know how to accept love from others. This song is about his struggle to escape his dark lonely life.

[@smylyface]

Jean Dullin That is so sad. Well, he will never have to feel unloved again. I just want to hug him. 😢💕💕

[@caspiannite1921]

☺smylyface☺ Since you liked Fake Monk so much. I think you would like his vocal performance of Cancer which he created to express his feelings about cancer which took his mother away. Hua said he's created over 100 of these wordless vocal songs which are his private expressions not for the public. He does Cancer in his concerts.

[@lambauman1191]

Girl your reaction is wonderful! You totally got what the song was about. Not it’s not uncommon to get his songs stuck in your head, especially one as haunting as this. Now he is a genius of a singer-songwriter who writes and sings many different styles, including but not limited to rap, rock, and...this (if there is a name for it). His talents are pretty well showcased episodes of Singer 2018 and The Sound of War. If you want rap, check out Nunchuks, Wukong, Drinking Alone, My Skateboard Shoes, for rock songs, try I Don’t Care, Mountain and Sea, Shout (from Singer episode 13). For power ballads, try Child, Flammable and Explosive. For new age vibe, try Heaven and Ordinary Path. For power duets or musical theater style, try Nanping Evening Bell, Lightyears Away, Idiot, Perhaps Love. They are all amazing, and he either wrote or rearrange each of the above mentioned songs.

[@guadalupehernandezestevez9768]

Looove youuuuur reaction! Nail it! He is GREAT. Yessss more.

[@ginnylin11]

Thank you for reacting to him!! Please watch more performances of him!!

[@joycemyers3803]

Enjoyed your reaction and you really understood the song. You are doing a great job!!

[@user-rr7rb4ld7o]

Congratulations on your first reaction. I'll look forward to your work.

[@pkfsylvia]

Wow Sandy, you started with Hua journey on his masterpiece. I like your truth reactions a lot and thank you for understand the song. Yes, you can't get this song out of the head, I had listen to it for many times the first day and cry like a baby, after which, it had bring relief and release. It's bring me to the deepest inner side for me to face the dark feeling. Hua once said that people that can face the dark had the brightest sun in heart.

[@pkfsylvia]

7 months ago? Time flies...

[@ayplaytime]

Yes please listen to all .. love ur reaction n hua hua 😍

[@yilichen1967]

I love his "Child" very much because of his angelic voice that is so different from this one. Same as you, his songs went into my head and I just could not stop listening.

[@siewhwawo3395]

Epic😍👍👍👍

[@wohola]

He is truly an artist, please review his other Singer 2018 episodes and other performances. It is eye opening!

[@iluvbeautynz]

Definitely check out his other performances on the show. He's a song writer and singer, he can rap and he's a rocker. He's very versatile and will surprise you in every performance.

[@user-il9vn7qt3s]

There are many types of hua chenyu music, I hope you can listen to his other music

[@ganzehmay3598]

Thank you for your reaction. This is such an incredible performance.

[@carmenmark3449]

On top of his talent, he is incredibly humble, cute and lovely.

[@jinwang1475]

Thank you for your reaction! I am so happy you got the message he wanted to deliver! If you would like to check out his other performances, I recommend you a channel has a lot of his videos with English sub. The baby bamboo channel. Wish you enjoy more of his performances!

[@user-me7zp5hu7b]

Loved your reaction...subscribed already

[@Joy77777]

Smiley, You Picked one heck of a song to debut. I am trying to tell this from memory so may be a bit off. The high notes are to depict crying. Fake Monk Is the story of his childhood. He was raised in a wealthy family whose parents were always away traveling. With his parents always away, all Hua had was his music and isolation. His love was his music; playing and composing. This song is about the depression and then near madness he went into and then overcame. It took a lot of courage to sing this song. I was amazed at your interpretation. It was right on. Now that you know the story you can listen again. I was lucky enough to hear the story BEFORE the song. It is haunting and very, very sad. Especially when the high notes at the start and end are meant as crying. The rest of his songs are beautiful. They really,, really should preface this song. Here is a fun song he sang and is smiling and laughing with his audience. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mau0dWiXoraGkJI

[@dpee8972]

Welcome to your road to discovery of Hua ChenYu. I am so glad to see your reaction because I find the same excitement and appreciation as I have when I heard this song. This is a more dramatic expression of his performances. He kept on surprising us with each episode of Singer 2018. It's now yours to discover. He is a very versatile singer and he kept surprising us in each performance in Singer 2018. I wish you can experience his many other sides and I wait for your more reactions on your road to discover Hua ChenYu. He entered the Singer 2018 with this song and I think it is a good introduction. Ep.4 - Wukong 齐天 kzbin.info/www/bejne/imWnZKCnZtKSaM0 I hope to see you react to more of him and get to know his many talents.

[@leehoayphing2737]

Fake Monk Prestage Interview_Singer2018 EP10 _Hua Chenyu_华晨宇_假行僧采访 REACTION & Thoughts，This Interview was very touching. It almost brought a tear to my eye. I can understand who Hua Chenyu better now. Thank You his real story

[@Anthea1314]

Hua Chenyu has so many different side for stage presentation dear

[@Julia-nh2nd]

Thank you for your viewing reaction

[@Joeysenru]

Great reaction! You were spot on in ur interpretation of his song representation.

[@khaalis9385]

Beautifully tragic....! Found your reaction a couple of months after the post. I have seen dozens of reactions to this performance and those two words best describe this song. Some serious dark shadows going on here and you hit the nail on the head! Glad I came back and checked you out!

[@carolynchang]

Please do more reaction on Hua Hua. It'd be nice to start from The Singer. You can go to the Baby Bamboo channel for subbed videos.

[@greatmusicdilettante6405]

You picked one heck of a performance as first(-ish) impression on Hua Hua. This is his most artistic performance. I don't usually recommend this to people as first impression vid. Because, it's his most "edgy" and the dark undertone risk turning some people off. Even Hua Hua said he expected to get last place for that week's episode, as the planned laughters may creep out the audience. Fortunately, the audience have the same appreciation of art as you do, and as many of us do :) . Hua Hua got 2nd place that week. Glad you enjoyed it. "Haunting" and "Beautifully Tragic" all right. You summed it up nicely. When I saw it the first time, "Tortured Soul" came to my mind. I found it extremely captivating, a very edge of my seat performance. And, yes, Hua Hua has one of the clearest and angelic sounding head voice tone I've ever heard. That's one of his strong points, which I think he knows, thus showcased a lot in "Singer", as you'll soon find out, Hua Hua marathon incoming, right ;D ? BTW, stick to non eng sub vids for first viewing, as I've mentioned previously, the sound quality varies from poor to awful in those fan made videos. Here's a playlist to all of Hua Hua's performances in "Singer 2018", from the original source: kzbin.info/aero/PLPAFXH4q5FG1YGPYLDcKCGVYTTr5L5zXB (If you see 2 episode 6 vids and 2 episode 13 vids, that's because Hua Hua sang twice in the finals, which is episode 13, and there's a mistake in Hunan TV's part titling _"I Don't Care"_ as episode 6, when it's actually episode 7.) Great reaction and afterthought, Sandy.

[@smylyface]

I've had several requests for a Hua Chenyu marathon so it's in the works! Thanks so much for watching. 💕✌😊

[@lailanis1]

Great reaction. Hua Chenyu is very talented. He delivers more than just singing. It's like acting. Pure art If this performance moved you. You haven't seen anything. "Dad i'm home" is just beyond anything. You will cry for sure Please react to the version with subtitles otherwise it won't be touching that much. Lyrics are so important to understand. Make sure you show lyrics in the reaction too so people understand (some reactors cut the bottom screen and cause subtitles not show up) Please don't see it until you react to it. Again thank me later for suggesting this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fafao3yjZdpoqc0

[@smylyface]

Anis Berhil I promise I will wait and react with the subtitles on. I must warn you though, I recently lost my dad so I already know I'm going to cry and I've been told my tears are contagious. 😢😢😢

[@lailanis1]

☺smylyface☺ well. I look forward to that moment. Sorry for your loss. you'll cry for sure, I do every time I watch it and I'm a dude

[@sisi-dh3wd]

Please more react about his performance in singer 2018❤❤❤

[@bpz9134]

老师很美！

[@strawberryliscious]

I love your comments about him. He is incredibly versatile and the word I associate with him is also “genius”. If you see any of the backstage footage he is like a little boy but he completely transforms with each performance. I’m looking forward to your reaction of “Child” which is my personal favourite (this song being a very close 2nd. Child just stole my heart).

[@ganzehmay3598]

❤❤❤Hua Chen Yu 🌹🌹🌹

you are kind and nice

You really must see all his performances with eng.translate, BabyBamboo is who added subst.to his performances. His songs have very good lyrics.

[@blanc205]

After watching this performance, for some reasons, thoughts of Vincent van Gogh got into my head.

[@powchungjackchong3875]

Silent Hill......

[@tungavidya]

This is a very psychedelic song, continuous clicking the same notes, if possible moles indicating a disturbed personality. Exactly what Hua was when he was a kid. He played this song for the first time at the audition in 2012. At that time, this was a song without words. One of the judges was Laure, the one who sang with Dimas MJ Earth song. But this is not my favorite song. He sings different genres, I prefer his sentimental songs. If you want to skip to completely opposite side, then react to this song, one of my favorites, simple an sweet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6CcgXl3iqmLr68

[@coolhot2673]

OMG!!

[@NaughtyPanda888]

我想要得到天上的水，但不是你的泪！！！

[@carolyngrinberg6889]

Hua hua hua. I'm listening to him for the first time with you. Thanks! Seemed like a good idea. Husky lows and clear highs...very good! ...look, you're up to 322 subs, wtg. Did you get "your" cartoon? I finally sent it to you via messenger...my "expert" says there is no apparent reason FB won't let me friend you but I've followed you. ...fake? More like Insane Monk LOL

[@smylyface]

Carolyn Grinberg Carolyn, I don't have messenger because I don't have enough memory in my phone. I will open my FB page and make it public for 24 hours or so you can send me your friend request. I am looking forward to seeing my cartoon!!! 💕😊✌ You can find me under Sandy Smyly. Profile picture is a peacock. 😄😄😄😄

[@carolyngrinberg6889]

Cool! Me too :)

[@szetai388]

u should try to watch hua chen yu 'awesome'

[@xiaobei8249]

ᴗ你好( ´∵｀)

[@masaniazura2131]

Wow! What a song choice to introduce you to Hua Hua! I recommend "Nunchucks" from "Singer 2018" to see his fun side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp7Id3eMoa6Foa8 which could have been the rap video you previewed before. If so, then from an entirely different spectrum of Hua Hua, "Child" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaq9ZYqiZpl6q8U

[@mitchelllee1339]

Is called fake monk.. Is more philosophy, life is circle 4 stage then back to begainning again .

[@lingtonkitkat8326]

Apart from this song, I also like "Cancer". It's a song with no lyrics, Hua Hua makes "sounds" imitating cancer cells growing and finally take over your body. It's not beautiful, it's meant to make you uncomfortable. But it makes you think and feel. It's art! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHbbaYGcqpeJqbM
