It is Spherical 5 (五公) of Name Me By Fireplace Season 4 (披荆斩棘), everybody. Buckle up, as a result of we’re approaching the finale very, very quickly!

The next pace evaluations are primarily based on YouTube uploads on the twelfth and thirteenth of October 2024:

P/S This Spherical has higher stage design and props! This system lastly obtained their finances authorised hahahahahhaa

The finale for Name Me By Fireplace is a contest of solely 4 teams. This means Fox Hu Xia (胡夏) and William Wei’s (韦礼安) teams have been disbanded, dispersing all 8 members to affix the remaining alliances:

1. Hacken Lee (李克勤)

2. Reno Wang Zheng Liang (王铮亮)

3. Azora Chin You Zhang Jing (尤长靖)

4. Shi Kai (石凯)

There are two codecs for Spherical 5: group (limitless variety of members) and duo performances. The group chief is required to carry out in each.

Brothers: Shi Kai (石凯), Joe Xu Hai Qiao (徐海乔), Jason Fu Lengthy Fei (符龙飞), Austin Li Jia Qi (李佳琦), J.zen Zhu Xing Jie (朱星杰), and Jiao Mai Qi (焦迈奇)

This efficiency’s essential benefit is its heartfelt melody. Shi Kai, Jason Fu Lengthy Fri and J.zen stood out for his or her solo half within the refrain.

There’s virtually no choreography for this present, nevertheless, the administrators have been intelligent about it. The Brothers begin at totally different elevated platforms and stroll about in meloncholy… All whereas the platforms transfer to congregate on the essential stage.

Brothers: Reno Wang Zheng Liang (王铮亮), Allen li Yi Lun (林依轮), Yan Yi Kuan (严屹宽), Evan Yo Tsai Min You (蔡旻佑), and William Wei Li An (韦礼安)

It is a nonchalant, happy-go-lucky music. 90% of the stage was devoted to choreography… The dance strikes have been extremely sophisticated and complex, albeit not bodily demanding. All of the steps, hand gestures, path of motion… Geez!

Actors Yan Yi Kuan and Allen Lin outshine the remaining with their most nimble actions and joyest faces, so you possibly can’t assist however smile alongside!

My solely complain is their costume, as a result of the Brothers wore the identical go well with because the dancers, making it tough to distinguish who’s who.

Brothers: Hacken Lee (李克勤), Akira (黑泽良平), Charlie Qin Hao (秦昊), Fu Xin Bo (付辛博), Huang Xiao (黄潇), Fox Hu Xia (胡夏), and Jing Lengthy (井胧)

The music “The Sky is Excessive, The Earth is Thick”… Why does it sound 80% just like one other band, BEYOND’s signature music LOL. This group is intelligent sufficient to seamlessly weave this music with one other iconic music, Blessing (祝福).

All in all, this stage is nice to the eyes and soothing to the ears. Hop onto the video to witness Akira rapping in Chinese language for the primary time!!!

Carried out in a typical music band setup, most Brothers are assigned to play a musical instrument… But none of them got here to the highlight. It is a big mis-opportunity, contemplating Azora Chin’s (尤长靖) tribe had roughly trademarked the right way to seal X-Components utilizing purely musical devices.

Brothers: Azora Chin You Zhang Jing (尤长靖), MIYAVI, Du Hai Tao (杜海涛), Feng Xiao Yue (凤小岳), and Caelan Moriarty (庆怜)

That is the primary music of the season that options the Min Nan (or Hokkien) dialect. This music delivers the very best “oomph” vitality for this Spherical, which is additional enhanced by their black and gold costume.

Feng Xiao Yue stood out by dabbing the standard instrument, the pipa, like a rock guitar. MIYAVI and Caelan stole the present with their partial Peking Opera make-up and rock dance strikes.

The Peking Opera supporting dancers had shiny costumes and make-up, so that they kinda stood out even once they have been imagined to be in the background.

Even with the glamorous visuals and energetic melody, the general efficiency felt… kinda flat. I am guessing it is as a result of there are too many Brothers at this stage when it might have been completed by solely three Brothers.

I additionally realised this tribe is a world tribe, the place all members are from totally different nationalities. If solely the Brothers explored the potential for delivering this music of their respective mom tongues!

Group efficiency is completed. Let’s transfer on to the duet levels!

Brothers: Hacken Lee (李克勤) and Huang Xiao (黄潇)

It is a “duet” class, however this stage is technically solo LOL. Hacken Lee sang the position of interior turbulence, whereas Huang Xiao “danced” the exterior wrestle. Each Brothers nailed the dichotomy of roles effectively, notably for Huang Xiao.

This crew as soon as once more brings a visually easy stage for audiences to discover their inventive and private interpretation. Big congratulations for this unbelievable feat after a mediocre Spherical 4!

Brothers: Shi Kai (石凯) and Liang Lengthy (梁龙)

This… I do not know, my thoughts is scrambled. In a great way.

The idea is akin to Season 3’s “Joker,” besides it is chaos on chaos on chaos. Which is the actually the personalities of the 2 Brothers!

I am extra of an individual of order, so I discover it tough to totally respect this stage. However hey, their efficiency will need to have been an immense success as a result of this a part of my writing is chaotic LOL

Brothers: Azora Chin You Zhang Jing (尤长靖) and Zao An (早安)

That is Azora Chin’s first strive with this system’s favorite idea, the psychological collection. Each Brothers nailed their roles effectively, which satisfied me much more that Zao An has untapped potential in dancing and performing!

What’s extra charming was the stage design’s interpretation of “Monster”. How the earlier Rounds’ props and costumes convey the context. And the way we’re fooled by these “mannequins”.

Brothers: Reno Wang Zheng Liang (王铮亮) and 9 Gao (高卿尘)

“Ready” is an emotional music, delivered by Reno Wang’s stunning singing and 9 Gao’s spectacular performing and dancing.

This stage has one in every of Name Me By Fireplace’s most original designs. The administrators utilised the science of two-way mirrors to convey the story of Reno Wang and his different persona, 9 Gao. I can not totally categorical how distinctive this stage is, so watch the video now to understand the excessive stage of artistry!

Everybody carried out extremely effectively! Many of the music struck the chords, and extra effort was poured into the stage design and choreography.

That mentioned, I’ve a problem with the format. The restriction to duet-only squeezed the remainder of the contestants into one stage like sardines, leading to uneven contribution and unfair benefit to lesser common Brothers.

I barely see Joe Xu Hai Qiao and Austin Li Jia Qi. Fox Hu Xia used to shine along with his vocals. MIYAVI and Caelan pale into the background. Taiwanese sturdy homes William Wei Li An and Evan Yo Tsai Min You have been lastly in a crew however under-utilised.

That mentioned, credit the place credit are due. Everybody labored arduous and demonstrated their greatest, which was mirrored of their scores:

Hacken Lee’s tribe dominated Spherical 5, and rightfully so! Their “duet” is past stunning and solely will get extra relatable the extra you play it. This masterpiece will need to have touched the hearts of many as a result of it shot Huang Xiao’s particular person recognition vote:

As talked about within the earlier paragraphs, the much less common Brothers are overshadowed within the group performances. Sadly, we bid goodbye to Austin Li and Du Hai Tao this Spherical.

It is a phenomenal achievement for non-singers to go far on this competitors, not to mention Spherical 5. Although they narrowly missed the Finale, let’s thank them for his or her arduous work so far, and will we see extra of them sooner or later music trade!

Hacken Lee and Huang Xiao had taken the crown in Spherical 1 (一公) and a pair of (二公) respectively, so let’s lengthen the honours to… *drum rolls please…*

How come I by no means talked about MIYAVI earlier than LOL This honour is lengthy overdue for the Japanese rock guitarist! Feng Xiao Yue’s (风小岳) sheer expertise in quite a few musical devices additionally stood out.

Not forgetting 9 Gao (高卿尘), a gifted performer whose future will solely get brighter after this competitors!

The following spherical is… *drum rolls* the Finale! Is that this program ending already?!?! No alternative, let’s gossip to our hearts’ content material earlier than this present formally wraps up, yeah?

Thanks for studying, and see you all within the subsequent weblog put up!
