Vocal Coach Reacts! Tengri (Tengger)《天堂》Heaven "Singer 2018" Live!

[@hanhanhu7929]

It was a very old song, made by himself when he was young. I knew the background of this song, it makes me more touched. Before we kids made fun with Tengeri´s special singing way, now when I saw the old man sang it I cried. When I was a kid, he already showed to public his talent.I believe all people from the generation of my parents love his HEAVEN. He got a baby when he was 44 Several years later, his only child was ill. His wife and he cut all hair to support and comfort their daughter. Unfortunately the little girl still passed away. Tengeri´s heaven was broken. Then he disappeared for years. He went to his homeland, the desert of Inner Mongolian, which was heaven before. He planted many trees. It costed all his money. So several years later, he appeared and sang again to get money to plant , then he went back to desert. Recent years he´s keep doing this. He lived in heaven, then he lost his girl, lost his home. He tried so hard to pull it back, at least get his homeland back with green grass and crystal lakes. But it was not easy, all trees died in the first year. After it, Tengeri spent more time to investigate it. Now he is expert at it, and got 30.000 trees alive in the desert. When he sang in Singer, he´s 58. He´s never had hair after his daughter died. He lived frugal, but is willing to donate money to poor kids and schools. Could you image when I heard him again singing with cute smile on face¨...and you, my girl. This is my home, my heaven...¨My heart feels happy, sweet, pain, sad...at the same time. He smiled but he sang it full of pain.

[@sp72929]

Tengri finally agreed to participate in The Singer to show the younger generation the traditional way of Mongolian singing, he is considered a national treasure. Another amazing artist you come across only by luck which is kind of sad, because the international musical industry seems to settle for mediocre instead for extraordinary as if the international audience were not able to appreciate anything out of the box.

[@SadieCo149]

He is so old world to me. It is like he is keeping the old Chinese ways alive. He always wears interesting costumes also reminiscent of old China. He does a beautiful duet with Dimash, from some other festival. He is much loved.

[@xiaoq8329]

That's just how his own ethnic tradition looks like. He dresses in his own way, one of many many Chinese ethnicities that are still alive, never a past in history.

[@DantalianTheWise]

Fun Fact his keeping Mongolian singing technique alive and integrate it into modern singing, which they can use their throat to sing, in a way without moving their lips much they can sing. Great isn't it

I'm not going to lie, i'm even more impressed that you can sing with overtones. Lol that's such a random skill, nice.

[@SSTVocalCoach]

Thanks! It as just something I was interested in so I spent an hour watching polyphonic singing and working it out, but i'm a beginner really, need to sit down and practice more to get the overtone really soaring!!

[@harveytrevino2257]

@@SSTVocalCoach Good to know there is a term for that style of vocal texture. Ever since I was a teenager, I always loved heavy metal growlers. So, when I was on my path to discovering how to do it, I found myself experimenting with multiple notes vocalized at once, then amplified with more air. That is how I taught myself how to do the metal growling vocals.

[@yunhel]

thats not this song, this is written in 1997, his daughter died around 2012, but this is a pretty special song though, since he no longer sings this song after the passing away, because there's so much sadness and remembrance this song represents, So him performing this is pretty amazing.

[@sherrychen7606]

I have watched a few vocal coach reaction to this song and you are the most professional one so far!

[@ubervocal8777]

Very nice reaction to a very different singer. Tengri is national treasure for the Mongolians. He wrote this song about his homeland as a tribute to his daughter who had passed away. The man with silver hair that was crying is Mongolian so he understood the song lyrics and meaning at a deeper level than the average viewer.

[@xwah5016]

Umm he’s chinese and the song is sung in Chinese most Chinese understand this song bc they were w tengri every step of the song. They understand

[@blueorchidfeather]

Tengri also sings in a traditional Mongolian style of singing - not the throat singing, but it's very compressed where it looks like he's singing through pressed lips... They also almost never sing with wide open mouths... It's a very different technique! Now you'll have to react to Hua Chenyu's cover of Heaven... and Tengri and Dimash Swan Goose!!

[@SSTVocalCoach]

Yeah I noticed a few wee choices that sounded very in keeping with mongolian singing, the most notable was the one of the last sustained notes he did where he kind of pressed into it about a third of the way through. He's phenomenal!

[@SadieCo149]

Over the past 2 yrs. I have noticed these shows from China have established talents. It seems, like with Dimash, he wasn't put in local competitions until 2015. Then after winning many competitions, like Slovic Bazaar, he was put on Singer2017. Just my observation. Tegri is an old world pure Chinese singer. He and Dimash do a beautiful duet.

[@Iridophos]

I love the dynamics of Chinese singing. They're so rich in their sound dynamics, using the voice like a musical instrument. It's very in line with the taoist yin yang philosophy of having ebbing and flowing, pushing and pulling, crescendo and diminuendo. Dimash does this to a degree in his singing with a more contemporary approach, and that's why I really love how he sings. I love complementary and contrasting elements in musical composition and vocal quality.

Also, others have mentioned it, but "Child" is my favorite of his. Hua has said he considers the human voice a musical instrument, and you will be blown away by it. If you want something unique, do "Dad, I'm Home". Not all reactors do it because it is emotional, but it will stun you. Loving the channel, you are an outstanding vocal coach.

[@jiaunmew878]

The last part of the song is in Mongolian dialect. Let nature take it’s course, everything will be as it was He wrote this song in 1990’s for his village. About how it was before it got heavy polluted. Later, he sang this song for his daughter who passed away at six from an incurable illness. Now he singing this song for the world.

[@-R.Gray-]

In the song, Tengri is referring to Inner Mongolia, where he is from, as heaven. Evidently it has been ruined by over industrialization, and the song is a plea to let his land return to the way it was. Hua Chenyu has done a cover of this song, and thought this performance deserved to win the episode. Your demonstration of the polyphonic overtones was successful, and we could hear you cycle through the overtones as you changed your tongue position. I first became aware of this technique in the 80's, back when the "New Age" music category was born, due to "David Hykes and The Harmonic Choir".

[@jennawhite5466]

R.Gray Yes, that is the blueprint for the sing when he wrote it. But four days after the 9/11 attacks, he also came to the US and performed this song, further dedicating it to the tragedy, and the memory of those lost.

[@stanleyho8009]

Pyryp2 hmm shows always have the intention to make money, but the main purpose was (pretty sure) entertainment. If I go to a bar and entertain people with jokes (as performance) just because I like it I don’t necessarily want anything back for it, because I want to do it (unless I need money but it doesn’t earn that much I’m guessing). Not everything involving money is automatically capitalism 🤷‍♂️

[@stanleyho8009]

Pyryp2 besides Howard just said they valued culture over profit doesn’t mean they don’t value money anymore. If you’re not rich money will be on e of the purposes but it’s that they put culture before money and I think that does make a difference. It’s also the fact that singers here come to prove themselves as real singer a lot of singers are famous but have a sad story. Like one of them couldn’t sing on stage for 20 years because he didn’t get the chance after his company broke his contract. But after this show invited him he had hope again and show the world he was a singer. They purposely chose these kind of people to give singers a chance to prove themselves and give them opportunities they won’t get otherwise. But of course there are also really famous singers like Jessie J and Wang Feng who don’t really need to prove themselves but the producers really did this thoughtfully.

[@altez6483]
