He actually wrote this song. The base song was written by another guy. But that song has almost no connection with this song except that this song Hua wrote used that other guy's song as a base. Hua's version is SO SO different from the original song that it's incorrect to say it's a different version of the same song. The original song has NONE of these variations and different genres combined into one single song.

[@atsukibasket22]

Hua got so many masterpieces. He is a song writer, arranger, singer, performer… all in one artist! Please keep exploring him! Because he had really unlimited talent we haven’t known

[@DahliaKuo]

很高兴你们喜欢花，期待假行僧的reaction! "假行僧"是一个很特别的表演，在一个歌唱比赛中选用这样风格的表演是很冒险与大胆的，如果你们愿意跟"孩子"一起观赏的话那就更好了，可以同时看到天使与恶魔的对照 华晨宇的音乐风格在中国不是很主流，常常会受到一些批判，但他一直坚持自己的想法，没有因为大众媒体的批评而改变自己去迎合流行的风格。他自己的作品很少关于爱情，更多的是传达他对这个社会与世界的想法，有人称呼他是音乐哲学家，希望你们有机会可以看看他自己的创作

[@lucia9525-s2c]

His songs can encompass life, hope, religion, ideals, dreams, pain, despair, and even death. Furthermore, his singing voice and performing skills are extremely captivating. I always discover new capabilities of songs in his works. Hua ChenYu is my favorite artist in the world.

[@Huamazing]

好喜歡你們的風格! 也謝謝小海翻的中文字幕，這樣可以看懂了! 華晨宇在歌手2018的表演真的扭轉了我對於改編翻唱歌曲的所有想像，從來沒有看過有人像他一樣是先破壞解構再重新做出一首完全不同的作品! 當時每周等待觀看他的表演真是很幸福的日子了! 每次的表演都讓人驚掉巴，甚至感動到哭的，真的好愛他這種把情感傳遞的如此淋漓盡致! More Hua Chenyu Please~~

You have discovered our beloved Martian. He is a great composer-performer-singer. I love his music. I will be waiting for your next reaction to him. Qi Tian is one of his own composition that I like very much. I wish you could react to it. Thank you for your analysis.

[@debbienester9330]

For the full Hua Chenyu effect you need to listen to his own songs (Madhouse, Airplane Mode, Illusion and Reality, You Have to Believe). He occupies his own space and you never know what will come out of his mouth or his mind, from environmental issues to mental health to love songs. He is known for his dramatic performances and out of the box music. Early on his career he was accused of being out of this world (having auditioned with a lyricless song), so he and his fans took it and ran with it. His concerts (which literally sell out in seconds) are branded Mars concerts and his fans are Martians. Looking for more reactions.

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

Ah, you guys finally discover Hua ChenYu! Good for you! He's another phenom!

[@JamieSirensong]

So stoked to see HuaHua on your channel. I figured it was only a matter on time before you’d discover this brilliant artist. You are in for a ride! He is an absolute genius. Suggestions… ‘Seven Personalities’ (NYE 2020 performance), Child (for something softer), Madhouse, Kings & Paupers, Sea of Wind. The options are endless. This is the only artist I watch full concerts of on KZbin. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for reacting to Hua Chenyu! That was a great reaction.😊 You're right about him overlapping the completely different layers to fit together perfectly at the end. He's an excellent composer, and his performances are like movies or plays. Please react to him again.

[@flora6784]

Music was his companion through a very isolated childhood/adolescence. His music as a student was unconventional - ppl called him 'possessed'. Through an audition show, he learnt how to interact with others and flourish as an artist who can be accepted mainstream, but still push so many boundaries. Watching him is like watching a child who loves something enough to want to do it all day, everyday...and his on-stage persona and music reflect that. He's a gem. I love that you guys are finally being exposed to his world of brilliance.

As a European I never thought a Chinese artist would once be my all time favorite. His powerful diverse voice and unique stage presence always makes it an amazing experience. As for suggestions there is a lot, from rock to ballad. I'm sure the Martians (that's how Hua's fans are called) come up will lots of suggestions. For extra dramatic songs you will love Fake Monk, a cover, and 7 Personalities, or Bullfighting, 2 of his own songs. Hua is an amazing artist, I'm glad you discovered him! ❤

Thanks for the reaction & comments. Love this “musical whiplash”! You can listen to other Hua Chenyu’s songs. He is very talented. This song is originally by Jay Chou. Hua Chenyu recomposes this song in a Chinese TV show called “The Singer 2018”.

[@ffffffancy2]

What a rabbit hole you've just jumped into! Hua Chenyu is such a versatile artist! He becomes the song...and if watch closely at the end you can watch him "shake it off". Dimash + Hua Chenyu is my ultimate dream collaboration! I highly recommend that you watch ALL of his Singer 2018 performances to get started!!

[@regularperson4106]

Correction- Chenyu is a diverse music performing artist not just a versatile artist

[@juliekeesee3499]

​@regularperson4106 No matter how you choose to say it, Hua Chenyu is one of the most talented musician/singer/songwriters I've ever encountered. I've been following him since 2018 and could write a book about him but the fact that I chose brevity in my comment above does not make it an incorrect statement.

[@robincosta8973]

Welcome to the world of Hua Chenyu! "Nunchucks" is an excellent starting point but in no sense indicative of his music style overall. This young man is immensely creative both with his own compositions and his renditions of the music of others. He is also an interesting person who has lived an atypical and often heartbreaking life; a life that has inspired much of his music's unusual and breathtaking style. Thank you for bringing Hua Hua to your viewers. A journey with him is well worth your time.

[@HuaChenyu_Studio]

Please react to Hua's "Fake Monk" and "Child" together! You can see how he plays with his voice! He's amazing!

[@kishaniramsey5913]

Thank you for reviewing this singer and my favourite song.

[@grandnewworld1010]

So glad that you got to react to Hua Chenyu (Hua Hua is his nickname, sounds like Whoa Whoa, ). He is a great singer-songwriter. Nunchucks is adapted based on Jay Chou's original rap song. He added the intro, the rock, the choir, and the Chinese opera parts. It's almost a new composition. The show's rule was that each singer could only sing two of their own original compositions, the rest had to be adapted from existing songs. Hua Hua made this adaptation, however, the interpretation is completely his own. We would really enjoy your reaction to some of his own compositions: Qi-Tian from the same 2018 Singer Show, Seven Personalities, I Really Want to Love this World, Bullfight, Madhouse (album 4) Illusion and Reality, When the Whole World Forgets Me (Album 5). These are some of his most impressive compositions. Please search his song titles on the Hua Chenyu English Subs Channel. Thanks a lot.

[@JaneFromMars]

Great reaction!😄 I really enjoyed your comments and friendship, and I subscribed. Hua Chenyu is a groundbreaking composer/arranger, a mesmerizing performer, and a versatile singer. The style changes aren’t random; they tell the story and convey emotion. But it’s hard to take your eyes off of him to read the lyrics!😂 I’d like to give you a head’s up about reacting to Hua Chenyu (in case you read the comments.) You might have to use a filter for all of them. Also, your top requests for next songs are brilliant performances, but heavy and hard to watch. Keep reacting to him and you’ll get a good mix of emotions.

👉 Hua Chenyu, *1990, is a Chinese singer and songwriter known for his powerful singing, wide vocal range, dramatic stage performances and compositional skills. He is one of the most influential singer-songwriters in China. The Chinese Singer Show is a competition between excellent established singers. In 2018, each participant could sing two of their own songs, the rest were covers. He placed 2nd behind Jessie J. of Great Britain. In 2020 he competed again. All songs were freely selectable. He won the competition. He is fire!!!!!🔥

I'm so glad you discovered Hua Hua. He is one of the greatest theatrical singers of all-time. I discovered him through Dimash. Hua also competed on the tv show "I am Singer" out of China. In China he is a superstar of iconic proportions in his 30's. There is no one like him. He is the only performer to fill the 90,000 capacity Birds Nest Stadium in Peking & he did it 3 nights in a row. His fans are called "Martians" & number in the millions.

Your humor, mixed with technical analysis and just your pure enjoyment of the performance, was a great balance in providing a wonderful reaction to Hua Chenyu’s Nunchucks. “Musical whiplash”😂😂 is a perfect description of how Hua Hua recomposed this song and performed it. In this performance he was 28 years old, now 34 years old. Hua Hua is incredible in his ability to combine genres and to transition seamlessly from one to another.

Yes!! Hua Chenyu👏🥰🌸 This arrangement is incredible! The original was all rap.😂

[@gogglebox2427]

Been waiting for you to find him. 😂 I don't even have "Nunchucks" in my Top 60 Hua Hua Performances. He is simply a magnificent Composer, Arranger and multi instrumentalist. Yes, the different aspects all layered at the end. You won't believe what he is capable of. And, got it on one. He listened to Radiohead, Muse, Linkin Park. He inhabits the persona of the song. He can make you laugh, or cry. Hua Hua was REN 10 years before REN. He had quite a lonely bullied childhood, which created lots of angst for him. And some of his best songs are about Depression. He has spoken openly about his, and asked Chinese people to be kind to those who are struggling. He is in a happy place now. But, it's been some journey with him to get there. 😔 If you want to see a performance piece, try "Fake Monk". Again, you won't have heard anything like it, but it is mesmerising. The audience, as a whole, were holding their breath, before he finished it. He sings/Composes/Arranges Rock, Rap, Reggae😂, Pop, SynthPop, Electronic, Broadway, Accoustic, Traditional Chinese... Think a combination of Freddie Mercury, David Bowie (chameleon appearance and genres of music), Steven Tyler, George Michael and even a bit of Elton John. 😂 He is a musical genius, who no longer seems tortured. Many Dimash Dears, are also Hua Hua fans (Martians). 👍

dimash is more of freddie mercury and chenyu is more like david bowie

[@grandnewworld1010]

@@regularperson4106 Hua Hua's long and complex compositions like Madhouse, Seven Personalities, Illusion, and Reality remind me of Queen's mixed genre compositions like Hungarian Rapsody. I think both Freddie Mercury and David Bowie are inspirational to Hua Hua. Musically, he is more influenced by Radio Head and Muse, two figures that he acknowledged before. His Illusion and Reality definitely paid tribute to Muse. Of course, he has his own unique style that's not limited by any particular definition of style or genre. I think His music is also influenced by Japanese rock, Chinese folk songs, and new world music. Of course, I don't think he has any particular genre in his mind when he composes.

[@gogglebox2427]

@@regularperson4106 Sorry, but, just singing Queen songs doesn't make Dimash like Freddie. I was a fan of Queen from BEFORE they were famous. Hua Hua is nearer to Freddie than anyone I've seen. The blend of Rock rasp which Hua Hua has, together with the ability to incorporate multiple genres in one song, was Freddie's (and now Hua Hua's) signature. Dimash would be mad to replicate the Rock rasp, and possibly ruin his stunningly clean vocals. Hua Hua knows he is limiting his length of time singing, using Rock vocal technique. But, Hua Hua grew up listening to Radiohead, Muse, Linkin Park, and he absorbed THOSE Rock vocals. Dimash is a self-confessed Michael Jackson fan. And, no one can say Michael was a Rock God.

[@damionhunter314]

This is not his own song, but his arrangement is genius. I have heard that he loses days of sleep arranging his music. Such a perfectionist, and true prodigy turned master. You guys are awesome btw!

I love that you're checking out Hua Hua! I found him while watching The Singer (which I was watching because of Dimash). Hua Hua is so captivating and exciting as a singer. Plus he's a songwriter, composer and I'm sure others will tell you he does more. He was in The Singer in 2020 and there is able to do more of his own music which is so good. His songs there that I loved were "Bullfighting", "Code Name: Contra in the Wild", and "Jackdaw Boy". He also did a cover of the song "Us" which was something to see and beautiful to hear. My friends don't understand why I listen to him, BTS or any other music that isn't in English. I always tell them that you don't have to understand the language to love the music. Music is beautiful, touching, and can make you dance no matter what language. Thank you so much for the reaction to one of my favorite artists!!! 💜💜💜

Ooh, I love Contra in the Wild! For those who don’t follow Hua, it is a re-arrangement and acoustic version of his own composition from The Next which he wrote in 24 hours!

The original song was composed by Jay Chou, yes, and as part of the Singer competition, Hua chose to do a cover of the song. However, the composition is completely different. Hua basically rearranged, and I would even say rewrote, the entire song. If you do a general search for Jay Chou - Nunchucks on KZbin you'll see the original was basically a different song.

Great review guys. His given name is Chenyu. Hua is his surname. In Chinese names, their surnames come first before their given name(s). Hua sounds like hoo-ah or who-ah. This song was rearranged by him and an arranger he always work with - Zheng Nan. The original singer and composer is Jay Chou, which is a full rap song and also very nicely done. Hua has the ability to impersonate singing voices of other famous singers which might explain his ability to deliver various tones in one song. Thanks for checking him out.

The original song is just a rap song. Hua rearranged it including adding the intro, the bridge, and the Chinese opera part so basically he created a new song for this turn.

[@lorrainekeenan4440]

Hua Chenyu is second only to Dimash. Another awesome rabbit hole to go done. So extremely versatile, unique, his own special person. I have watched a few other Chinese singing competitions that he has been a part of, mentoring newer singers. One show, every episode he is given a song he would not normally sing, and in 24 hours has to rearrange it and make it totally his. THAT is where his true brilliance really shines. I am a nearly 70 yr old grandmother who really hates American rap music but Hua does rap like no other.

[@rosareis8191]

Dear, HuaHua does not lose to our Dimash. They are completely different in style and performance and absolutely brilliant like two beautiful stars. Who knows, maybe they'll find themselves sitting on a planet at night exchanging ideas 😍😍🥰🥰

[@smexijebus]

Would love to see you guys listen to his duet performance of "Nanping Evening Bells" with Su Shiding, it's an absolutely gorgeous take on an old classic Chinese love song. "Bold" is a great way to describe his style, he goes all in when most would test the waters.

[@lihongliu352]

Yes, NANPING EVENING BELL is one of his most epic performances . He rearranged the song in an unbelievable way❤

[@artnoxon2841]

It's pretty epic, agreed !

[@mimo5853]

I LOVE this performance! They performed so well together and the chemistry was INSANE! The way they sound together, the way they stare at each when he’s on the piano and the way they smile and bow to each other at the end! Love it!

[@Borahae774]

Praying you’ll react to his song “Child” performed on this same show. Heard it years ago and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. If I remember correctly he didn’t eat for 2 days before performing it because he said it helped him sing better. And actually ALL the songs he sings in this show were amazing. There’s also someone named Tengri competing in the same season with Hua Chenyu. He’s a Mongolian singer who sings a song called “Heaven” where he does Mongolian throat singing. I promise you’ve never heard singing like Tengri does in that “Heaven” song. It’s breathtaking. Thanks for all your hard work and amazing reactions. New subscriber here.

[@holbeckmax]

Hua Chenyu’s cover of Heaven (on The Next in 2016) is also brilliant. I saw in Hua Chenyu’s face and demeanour the enormous respect and privilege he felt of seeing Tengri do it live.

[@Mlee2024]

After that, pls react to the duet between Tengri and Zhou Shen singing each other's signature songs, "Heaven and Big Fish".

[@christelbodin3948]

Finally, I am so happy💃I know I suggested him a couple of times, times goes and there are many good artists, but and here we go🥳🙏

[@JoSedunary]

Hua is such a wonderful artist... he's been on many singing/music shows with Charlie Shen, Dimash and Liu Yuning (another artist to check out eventually ! ) Hua's range and musicianship are just outstanding... he rearranged this and all the backing tracks were done by him....It was the first year that an international artist had performed/competed on Singer... (Jessie J - and whilst she was fantastic I always felt Hua was more deserving of the win... he came second, Jessie won ) You simply can't go wrong with anything Hua ... his Mars concert was simply epic

[@lila1957]

His 2018 singer loss allowed him to return in 2020 which he won

[@JoSedunary]

@@lila1957Yes it did... he was great on that season also !

[@dimashtastic]

Dimash also came in 2nd and sometimes that is its own blessing. These two were already on trajectory to be superstars and I personally think these exceptional types need the challenge to keep striving for their dream. If they win everything all the time the motivation is lessened.

[@wongmeewah4207]

Hi Glad to see you guys reacting to this artist. Hua Chenyu is a very versatile & talented artist, arranger & composer! I found him in year 2016 through a china show called " The Next ". Ever since then, I've been following his music till now. His music was so good & unique. Love him as always! 🌺🌺👍👍👍💕💖🙂

[@melisvigue7950]

Yay so happy you are doing Hua Hua you never know what you’ll get with him and he’s a genius I never liked rap either but he’s so different. I can’t wait for you to explore him more

My orher favorite singer! Superstar!!!!!!

[@kabiraningangom1248]

I am a Dimash admirer but you won't be disappointed by Hua Chenyu either. His voice is haunting.

[@jf-be4zy]

I first saw him on The Singer 2018 when I was watching Dimash sing Hello. I also discovered KZ Tandingan on that same show. Always interesting that when you follow one great singer you find more great singers.

[@melisvigue7950]

Same way I found him

[@lisaroberts4391]

Same here!

[@YECRED22]

This is a new age of music. Artists like him are trying to show there is not category or box to slot artists into. There is just music.

[@rosareis8191]

In the "Singer" competition, participants can only present 2 of their originals. All other songs have to be rearrangements. HuaHua is the master of composition, rearrangement, harmonies and interpretation, giving each song his own feelings about the lyrics, alienating himself from everything around him. I traveled to China last year from Portugal, just to see him. The two days of marsconcert (100,000 per day) were the most beautiful spectacle of music, lights, fashion, conversation, flowers (HuaHua) with an unparalleled delivery. Thank you very much and I hope you can continue reacting to it. Subscribed 🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@anahills3836]

I came across Hua Chenyu at the same time that I found Dimash. Both sing with their entire bodies and live the songs as they sing them. Both are great at transmitting emotion. Hua Hua is just a little more "untamed" 😅

[@Wkd183]

Untamed is a good description. Love him because of it.

[@0sherlyn0]

Great reaction, guys! Hua Chenyu is a fantastic singer-songwriter! I absolutely love Hua-Hua (as his fans call him) for his vocals, versatility, artistry and stage presence. I first heard him in Singer 2018 and was bowled over by his cover of this Mandopop classic. Nunchucks was a rap song by Jay Chou and Hua Chenyu made it his own. I realise with every cover that he made, I would forget what the original song sounded like because he would make it so interesting. There is a lot of thought in the way he re-arranged and crafted the songs to create deeper meaning. His performances in the Singer competition were deeply personal and the song choices reflected stages of his emotional journey or development. Do check out his covers on the show - Fake Monk, Child and Mountain and Sea. His more recent covers such as Lucky as You, Enjoy and Dancing Diva are also worth a listen. His originals - I Don’t Care, Bullfighting and Salt of the Earth (the last two touch on climate change) are among my favourites. For something fun, you should check out an earlier Chinese competition called The Next (天籁之战) where Hua-Hua had to re-arrange and perform a song in 24 hours. He composed the song Great Sage Equal to Heaven from a few bars of theme music used for the opening of a classic Chinese TV series Journey to the West. And he turned a 60s kitschy song Nanping Evening Bells (sorry, not a fan of the original song) into a beautiful duet.

[@laurasmith3814]

Welcome to the genius of Hua Hua. He is a composer, arranger, producer and the rest of the kitchen sink. He is the most unique artist on the planet and never fears to take different routes, musically, to tell his story. In the early days people referred to him as an alien from mars and out of that, his fanbase, Martians were born. He does not perform outside of China and once a years he holds Mars concerts to connect with his fans. He is an introrvert so music is his way of getting out his thoughts and feelings so please continue to react to him... you will not regret it ! Fake Monk is another widely viewed one. He does a few covers but his own compositions is where you see his genius. The covers.. you have to listen to the original song before seeing his version. A show that he took part in gave contestants 24 hours to rearrange a song... My Skateboard Shoes is a good example of what he does

[@amytakiguchi4390]

Love Hua Hua! They definitely need to listen to the original songs like Skateboard Shoes before experiencing Hua Hua's version. This man is a composing genius. To do most of these in < 24 hours. Even Nunchuks, Hua Hua's version is so different. And his voice is an instrument on it's own !!!

[@HuaChenyuEnglishSubs-HCYES]

Last year was his 10th anniversary debut, and he held 19 concerts for his tour. This year, he will continue touring and has plans to hold concerts in places like Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Additionally, there will be a special sunrise concert where everyone will sing together from midnight until sunrise.

[@Sonia-ll9cf]

Love your reaction. Always a pleasure to see people's passion for great artists. In the Singer 2018, each singer could only sang two of their original songs and the rest had to be rearranged from others. This song was rearranged by Hua from a pure rap song.
