Aaron Kwok. His dancing is so handsome. He was the first king to settle in the Mainland and develop Chinese singing. In singing, he stumbled all the way, constantly discovering problems and making progress. Compared with his singing, dancing is the core ability of Aaron Kwok's early fame.
1984, 19-year-old Aaron Kwok was admitted to the TVB dance training class. Out of 3,000 people, DeUEX got the qualification of 30 dancers and began to dance for Anita Mui, Priscilla Chan, Vivian Chow and others. In the end, she performed well in the dance performance of 1985 Miss Bodybuilding, and was appreciated by May Fung Mei kei, the artist manager of TVB at that time, and officially became an artist from dance. Finally 1987 graduated as the first person. After three years of silence, 1990 opened the road to the king with "Love You Endlessly".
Judging from the vocal timbre, Aaron Kwok has a perfect juvenile timbre, which is in line with the youthful atmosphere of street culture in Europe and America, such as street dance and break dance. This was the key to Aaron Kwok's rapid popularity among a large number of young girls at that time.
Aaron Kwok's timbre is born with a good sense of idol image, but for a professional singer, this timbre is too lacking in connotation, and it is amazing, but after listening to it more, it lacks connotation, and the timbre uniformity between bass and treble is not high.
Scope: B2-G4; Eight degrees higher+five degrees.
In terms of range, Aaron Kwok's common mode is B-flat, which is one degree lower than the normal C, with the highest note in G4 and the lowest note in B2. It's good to have an octave plus five degrees at the beginning of your debut.
However, this is done on the premise of youthful spirit. After the traditional record industry market shrank in the later period, Aaron Kwok was the most thorough one who gave up the music industry among the four great kings. It has a lot to do with his high throat position and injury of auditory ligament.
From the cavity, Aaron Kwok is a bit of a big problem. Generally speaking, there is a lot missing. Especially in abdominal support and chest singing, as well as mask singing, the concentration of pronunciation points and the awareness of throat protection.
Constrained by the knowledge of the times and commercial aesthetics, Aaron Kwok's song and dance scenes are mostly lip-synching or half-opening, especially the representative song "I can't stop loving you", which has a lot of strenuous dances and movements before and after. It is difficult to sing in this situation, which is actually a precursor to the Korean men's team lip-synching.
The only one is real singing, and Aaron Kwok is a choir in most cases. In several solo sessions, the intonation is not bad, but the rhythm and breath are urgent and the syllable beat is not enough. Pronunciation and bass have obvious shortness of breath and air leakage, and treble has jamming. Actually, this is normal. Aaron Kwok's singing time is too short. Since he embarked on the road of artist training, dancing is his core, not singing.
By simply comparing the timbre, range and cavity of the other three heavenly kings, we can clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of Aaron Kwok.
1: timbre;
Aaron Kwok Ge; Dawn Jacky Cheung Ge; Andy Lau.
From the aesthetic point of view of the commercial environment, Aaron Kwok's timbre is the best among the four kings, which can also be seen from the time when the four became popular. The timbre of that year can really cause perfect commercial gimmicks and strict hearing.
Aaron Kwok's first album was a hit, 1990.
Release, 199 1 winning, 1992 put forward the concept of the four heavenly kings. The speed of becoming popular is the scariest of the four. Dawn is the second one, and the sound is very good in the CD studio. Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, two better singers, finally became popular.
At that time, the HK music market as a whole was in an unwise state, and the aesthetic of singing timbre was based on the commercial packaging of the characters, just as the timbre of Aaron Kwok and Liming perfectly matched their temperament and image. Jacky Cheung is the worst, but when he entered the film and television, he felt that he was not photogenic enough, and no one wanted him, so he had to polish his singing skills and get through it slowly. Andy Lau, on the other hand, is popular, and film and television have become a front line, and singing is also to win praise.
Aaron Kwok's timbre and his personal image are both perfect teenagers, handsome, with a cross talk face, who can dance, like to lead the trend and sing timbre, and everything is in line. One of the most important points is that Aaron Kwok is the only dancer among the four heavenly kings who can be called unique and irreplaceable by the other three.
The timbre of Dawn is different from Aaron Kwok's sense of youth, but it has a feeling of gentleness and jade. Although there is something wrong with the pitch of Dawn, the timbre effect of Dawn is not worse than that of Aaron Kwok in the CD studio. This is also the year when Dawn led the four kings, and Dawn beat Andy Lau to become the best male singer. After all, Aaron Kwok influences the Hongkong market through the Taiwan Province market.
The timbres of Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are a little ordinary. Ordinary has a common advantage, that is, learning ability. In the early days, both of them were not good at speech recognition, so they worked hard on articulation and nasal sounds. This is why the timbres of Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are very easy to imitate.
From a professional singer's point of view, yes
Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are more professional than Aaron Kwok and Liming. What you can't get is always in turmoil. Jacky Cheung learned some falsetto and weak singing. Although the quality is not high, it can barely be used. For example, there are A4-C5 low-quality and weak mixed songs in The Legend of the Hungry Wolf and Missing You. In addition, there are skills such as vocal cord marginalization and chest sound.
The two heavenly kings with poor vocal cords studied hard, and their intonation, rhythm, singing and breath were better than those of Aaron Kwok and Liming, especially their intonation. Both Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung have C3-F4 absolute intonation.
2: scope;
Ge, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung; Aaron Kwok Ge; Dawn.
Jacky Cheung: A2-G4, G4-B4.
Andy Lau: B2-G4, A4
Aaron Kwok: C3-G4, G4
Dawn: C3-F4.
There is still a clear sense of hierarchy at the peak of the range of four people, and Jacky Cheung is the best.
Because compared with the other three, Jacky Cheung has made great efforts in vocal music, and is better than the other three in abdominal support, * * * * singing and pronunciation. Especially under the blow of Yu Chengqing's demotion, he mused on the scream. Moreover, the supporting performance of bass's * * * song can crush the other three people, and the people-friendly sound area represented by bass is the key for Jacky Cheung to become a god of songs. Really sing
about
Not bad. At the same time, Jacky Cheung is the most conscious of protecting his voice among the four people.
Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Liming are in the stage of falling down and exhaustion. After crossing F4, the pitch will automatically raise the throat position, causing the acoustic ligament to lengthen. The higher the pitch, the greater the tension. There is no throat position confrontation between pronunciation and larynx, which will lead to constant wear and tear and functional decline.
Andy Lau often takes the rise and fall of throat position as the core of timbre change and vibrato expression, and the voice is very heavy. Fortunately, he learned some bel canto and national introductory chest, and he can also sing F4 pitch with bel canto at 20 19.
Aaron Kwok and Li Ming are more serious. 10 years later, Aaron Kwok's concert was basically in a falling tone, the opening sound area was concentrated in G3, F4 rarely sang, and the high note E4 ended.
Dawn didn't sing for many years, and there were too many pitch deviations in the early days. In the early days of consumption, the girls grew up and the crowd didn't last long. Before the concert tour, Dawn helped the music behind the scenes.

Compared with the vocal music aesthetics of the four people in 2020, there are big problems. But this is caused by the progress of the times. Compared with four people, Jacky Cheung has the best accent, followed by Andy Lau. It is directly related to the professional focus of the four people, so I won't go into details.
Generally speaking, it was difficult for Aaron Kwok to improve his singing skills when he was young, because there were types of jumping and jumping. The progress of his singing lies in the apparent intonation and rhythm, and the special abilities of professional vocal singers such as timbre carving, vocal support and mask ringing do not conform to his personal positioning. Later, due to the decline of voice, the traditional recording industry shrank and directly withdrew from the music market, focusing on film and television. Stay in the idol category
In summary, just look around.
