Oh, you found HuaHua 🤩. He is my favorite artist. I flew from Germany to China this year to attend his amazing Mars concert. His mental health trilogy might be interesting for you. 1. I really want to love this world. 2. Madhouse. 3. Conversations with martian children. Best from his 2019 Mars concerts were he performed this songs for the first time. There is actually a part zero to this trilogy. It is the song 7 Personalities. He just gave his 10th anniversary concerts last weekend at the Birds Nest. More Hua Chenyu please. ❤
Hua Hua is a brilliant artist. No Singer will perform this type of music in a competition. He mentioned that he joined this competition with a mission and winning is not important. In this competition, he portrayed different stages of his own life experiences, he bared his soul to tell of his loneliness, his insecurity, arrogance, anguish, struggle and the acceptance of himself. Hoping that his experiences will help others. In the 2020 competition he performed most of his own compositions while trying to bring awareness of love towards people especially those with depression problems, damage to the environment and the world at large. He can do many genres, a genius artist who will draw you into his performance. He always make you look forward to his next performance as you don't know what he'll bring next. And very often you'll say this is my favourite performance but to no end.....! Please continue to explore, you will have fun along the journey with Hua Chenyu. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this reaction ❤ Hua Chenyu is an amazing performer who puts all his emotions and feelings into his performances. He is a multi-genre composer and performer so his songs vary in style wildly. He has written a number of songs about his battles with depression such as "I Really Want to Love This World" (first part of this video is him explaining a bit about the song kzhead.info/sun/dJqjqZ1qh5ydo58/bejne.html Also "I really want myself back" kzhead.info/sun/ZrGMh7pro5iBnJs/bejne.html and more recently "When the whole world forgets me" kzhead.info/sun/gMOHnc1vZ4eYgYU/bejne.html Thank you again 🌺🌺
Hua Chenyu said to rearrange and perform this song was very painful for him. Because he had to go back to his dark memories of his childhood. His parents divorced when he was very little and he was living with his father. His father was always away for work. He had Nannys of course but refused them, always waiting for his father to come back. He felt like... if he can't receive love from the people who are supposed to love him the most (his parents)... how could he receive love from others? That got him into the cycle of wanted to be loved but refusing it at the same time. He said at a 4/5 year old he felt sometimes so afraid and alone. He could only go to sleep by hugging a toy gun and by putting all his superhero toys all around him. Only than he felt safe. 😢 So in this song he is conveying this emotions. Lonliness, Anger, Despair, Madness. There is a little prestage interview where he is explaining it a little bit. He also said that he hopes if someone knows somebody like this. People should reach out to them. Because deep in their hearts they need love. He was lucky and made it to break the cylcle. He still has some issues with mental health and wrote 2 trilogies about it. The Mars Trilogy and the Hope Trilogy.
Thank you for sharing this! I can relate. 🙏🏻
Thank you
❤ thanks for sharing.

The Singer is a competition, but amongst professionel singers. He is an established artist. I interpret the performance as someone logning for for human connection, whilst being frightened by allowing one self to be vulnerable. Someone coming across tobothers as if being at piece with one self on the outside, but in reality being fragile, anxious and even destructive on the inside - a lost soul. ❤
It is a crazy Chinese competition of super talented professionnal artists,, but HE IS A mega Star, indeed.
Hua Chenyu is a super star of China， great singer，composer and performer。He just held the largest concert with total 200 thousand audience for 2 days in the biggest stadium of China －Bird Nest in which celebrate d the Olympic Games
Hua Chenyu wrote an absolutely beautiful song to his mother when he was with her in the hospital as she was dying. You don't have to react to it, but you should at the very least experience it for yourself. The MV is lovely. 華晨宇【小鎮裏的花】Official 官方 MV
Jessie J was Competing against "Hua Hua" in this series "Singer 2018". It is for famous singers.. Imagine Freddie Mercury competing against Bowie, George Michael and Elton John.. THAT standard. Hua Hua is the best Performer/Composer on the Planet. He is Freddie, Bowie, George Michael, Elton John wrapped in one. Spectacular. His "Dad I'm home" is 😭😭😭😭 He had a sad and bullied childhood (looked after by Nannies). He openly says he couldn't connect with people. His quirkiness is what drew you in. Hope you pursue more Hua Hua. He performs/sings Rock, Rap, Reggae, Pop, SynthPop, Electronic, Traditional Chinese... I'd suggest his "Singer 2028" songs. He chose them.. I ORDER.. to tell HIS story to the public. Starting with "Qi Tian" (why was I born), "Child" (his lonely childhood), "Nunchucks" (his rebellious phase) and as the weeks went on, his song choices took us on the journey of him trying to fit in, his failure to fit in, his disappointment with himself and others, his search for himself... and on to.. "I am what I am" 😭 (accept me, for who I am). A genius way to tell the public who he is, and WHY he was the way he was. (He's in a happier place now, but he often asked fans to be kind to him, and, others like him, struggling with.. Life).
Loved your video on Hua Chenyu! This guy is a musical genius who's been through his own mental health struggles but still wants to make songs that heal others. In his fourth album, he goes deep into what it's like inside his mind. There's "Seven (fold of) Personalities," where he talks about different stages of severe depression, and other killer tracks like "I Really Want to Love This World," "Madhouse," and "Conversation with Children of Mars." Then in Album 5, he flips the script with his "Healing Trilogy," which is all about gradually getting better and feeling good. Songs like "Meet When Flowers Fall" and "Let's Go Watch Sunrise Together" give off major positive vibes. But Hua isn't one to stick to just one mood. He later came out with more contemplative tunes like "Growing Towards the Sun," "When the Whole World Forgets Me," and "Illusion and Reality." Hua shows all sides of life-yeah, there's loneliness and tough times, but also lots of love from his fans. His music got me so hooked that I started reading stuff like "Psychoanalytic Diagnosis" just to get deeper into what makes him-and ultimately, me-tick. Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts on his work! By the way, if anyone's looking for tracks from Album 4 and Album 5, just click my avatar or hit up the "Hua Chenyu English Subs" channel. Cheers from a fellow academic in AI!
Hua is lonely from childhood. He is brilliant in his musical creations. Cathartic. This is art. He has a great musicality. He did study music...but is naturally gifted as well. Hua does not hide his pain. He is more avant garde and with high drama with his unique vocal style. He and Dimash are tops on my list of singers. Dimash #1..Hua #2 and then everybody else. Both completely fearless brilliant and excellent in skill and connectability. Important in todays time when people are disconnected from their inner selves and others more than ever. Hua performs full Primal Scream here. Dimash did it in One Sky Hua knows he is resigned to his fate of always feeling isolated even as he has a girl and a child. Its not a bed of roses but being a parent has helped him to grow up. This performance of Fake Monk was about 5 yrs ago. He just did a new Concert recently in China. His fans he calls Martians. Enjoyed your commentary and reaction. Thank you
I am amazed how you just got soaked into this completely unfamiliar song and artist. Your comments are very interestimg and yes, Hua Hua was called to be a musician👍. He is a top star in China, very versatile. He can do dramatic stuff like this ( the lyrics are from a famous poem, but it is also about himself)He can rock, rap, do, pop, ballads, folk.. and mix it as well.. the importance is to express himself and share..and he has a huge fan base that he really interacts with. I see others in the commentfield are telling you more about him, it takes a while to get an idea who he is. I’ve been a fan for 5 years, its for the rest of my life❤ I suggest Seven Personalities, Here I am, Black and white artist and I really want to love this world..songs to show his versatility. Try to find videos from Hua Chenyu English Subs, so you get english subs. Thank you for an interesting reaction👍🙏♥️
Hua Chenyu is a strange bird :) Even though it is a competition, he's way above everyone's likes or dislikes, just manages to clash his universe into your small world and leave with a bow, almost in excuse for the self-reflection he caused. You may want to check his Seven Personalities and Illusion And Reality, some great pieces of music and performance art.
Seven Personalities is a must for him! ❤
I really enjoyed your reaction, thank you. I love HuaHua, his music, performances and concerts are up at the top for me. As a huge artist in China he has no boundaries, everything can be explored. There's another artist who is up there with HuaHua for me and he is Dimash Qudaibergan or the 7 octave man as some call him. They are completely different but side by side in the music game for me. HuaHua is in his 30s now and Dimash is 29, immense abilities for their young age. Greetings from the East of England ❤🙏
Hua Hua a 33 ans
I met Hua through Dimash, when he was singing “Hello”, and they were showing Hua’s reaction.
@@EllanaTs Me too! We are the lucky ones! ❤
@@HappybdD_mash5-24 I like all the Chinese and Mongolian artists we got introduced to. I learned about different instruments, ways of singing, ABOUT singing (registers, octaves, techniques, dynamics), lol. I am immeasurably grateful to Dimash for all the newfound knowledge.
So glad you have found Hua. He is multi talented Artist with many great songs composed by himself and covered of others famous songs too. Thank you for your insightful action. Subscribe for more Hua's music.
Hua Chenyu is my favorite singer ♥ love him as always ❤ thank you so much for your reaction ❤
This kinda reminded me of artists like Bjork. The feel of an unfiltered, stream of emotion from the soul, untamed, raw, real, wild.
For me it's David Bowie
If you take DNA from David Bowie, Chester Bennington, Marilyn Manson, Eminem, and use Björk as the surrogate mother; you will get Hua Chenyu.
Thank you for a wonderful insightful reaction to one of the most unique artist. You really got what kind of artist Hua is. His goal in his music is to make you feel. He truly does that in every performance. So hope you explore him more. He is one of a kind artist who deserves more recognition.
Oh, you have found our beloved Hua Hua. He is a great composer-singer-performer. He is unique. I love his compositions. They are masterpieces. You can react to Madhouse next time, or anyone you pick. He will surprise you each time. Thank you for your analysis!
I'm glad you have found Hua Chenyu. He is one of those composers who writes intelligent music. This particular piece is a cover, of a song that resonated with him, but in many of his own songs, Hua Chenyu talks about mental health, both his own journey and just as a human being in general. Some titles to look for are, I really want to love this world, Madhouse, You have to believe, I really want myself back, Conversations with Martian children. Hua Chenyu's fans are called Martians and indeed I think you could call him a superstar. He has a singular relationship with his listeners.
Epic performance by Hua Chenyu 👍👍👍
Craving love -rejecting love
Please check Illusion and reallity live. A work of art. And the lyrics just pure poetry about human condition.
Loved this song a long time but never saw English translation. Never needed or even wanted the words. For me, it's all in the music itself and the way he sings and his facial expressions.Wish you had experienced it without the words . . .
Hua Chenyu is a genius, he composes and writes the majority of his own music. His songs are often about mental illness and bullying. His fans are called Martians and at his concerts he welcomes them to Mars. In his concerts he talks with his fans a lot about mental illness and to support people going through this. He is some one who has had his own struggles with this also he has been badly bullied by anti-fans and the songs he has written about this are amazing. I love Dimash for his incredible voice and Hua Chenyu for his genius compositions. You need to watch one of his concerts they are a mix of beautiful music and conversations with his Martians.
Hua Chenyu is an absolute genius! ❤
go deep in all HUA CHENYU's song then u can get your answer.he is a legend
Ordinary path sung by Hua Chenyu on the singer is also a top contender for his best performances.
Look fir the version where he explains why he chose this song.
The singer competition in China are all established artists not unknown
Hua Chenyus 2 latest albums have insightfull songs about mental issues based on his own struggles and healing process. Mental health problems is still taboo in China but HCY does his best to spread some light… like Ren does now in the UK
IF this guy came second OMG how good was the first place winner ?! Never seen him before but will look deeper . When someone can write their music / sing it and accompany themselves on a instrument - that’s a true artist - the real deal . That was what attracted me to Ren as well. On a another note - just saw a note from Ren that his album Sick Boi is number one ( ahead of the Rolling Stones ) on the uk Pre order chart .
@@Silkytoaster Yes , very happy about Ren’s success. I preordered my copy.. waiting for it to come (october). The winner of Singer 2018 was Jessie J.. so not really a matter of being better. Hua Chenyu is extraordinary in everything he does.
@@Silkytoasteryes, REN is the West's version of Hua Hua. It was Jessie J who beat Hua Hua into 2nd Place. She WAS spectacular... But Hua Hua was truly captivating. He has come so far in recent years, appearing as a Team Host on a Game Show (Ace v Ace) REALLY gave him a "supportive family". Suggest you search out Hua Chenyu English Subs KZhead Channel. They have lots of his performances with English subtitles. I'd suggest looking at his recent "God Tree" and "Here we are" (2023 Mars Concerts), then go back to his performances on Singer 218, starting with "Qi Tian" and work through in the order he intended, which tells of his lonely and bullied childhood, through his journey over the weeks to "I am what I am" 😭👍 You'll then get a "feel" for him. Man is a Genius. And... willing to expose his inner insecurities, to shine a light on Mental Health issues to Chinese fans, asking them to support anyone THEY know with such issues.
We love him so much , react more about Hua ChenYu please.
Please react to his "7 personalities" song.
Hua Hua 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Here is another performance by Hua Chenyu called 'Dad, Im Home'. It is extremely emotional. When I first heard it I thought it was his personally story due to the emotion he displayed only to find out it was not. kzhead.info/sun/etqwoq2lZ6drpqM/bejne.html
中国目前90后最厉害的歌手
💯
Wow Dr. You already read his mind!
I haven't seen this singer before. Im curious to know more.
Listen to Nunchucks.
Thank you for your react. ❤ I love Hua Chenyu ❤️ .He is amazing artist.
He is a unique person in this world ❤
He is amazing ❤
Love him ❤
Hua Chenyu is fascinating. Nice reaction.
He can sellout a concert of 10s of thousands in 5 minutes. He sold out a concert of 90,000 in 5 minutes total. The show he was in was called its a competition show for established and professional singers that had sold albums and had concerts before. Jessie J won this one but Hua Chenyu came in 2nd.
5 seconds, not minutes😊
Fue el artista que conocí luego de descubrir a Dimash. Ambos cambiaron mi forma de ver, oir y sentir la música!
Hua Hua also said at this competition that nobody have to worry what is his interpretation of his music, each one who is listening will have their own, and for him that is absolutely beautiful, isn't it?
Can you imagine someone doing this on The Voice. He is incredibly talented.
Hola, gracias por tu reacción! En esta competencia los cantantes son ya consagrados. En esta oportunidad está haciendo su versión de esta canción, originalmente un rap. Es un artista que te cautiva en cada canción. Podrías reaccionar a "Seven Personalities", siempre interpreta con el mismo nivel de compromiso.
Well, i loved ur analysis. U should check Diana Ankudinova singing " Rechenka" or Lara Fabian singing "Malade" ... like Hua Chenyu both are really deep in feeling while singing! About Huahua i love many of his emotional performances!!
I’m picking up on a kindred spirit like Thom Yorke of Radiohead! 😊 Enjoyed!
Hua Chenyu is my favorite artist of all time. Thanks for reacting to him, I thought the same thing the first time I saw him. He's special.
This was a competition but it’s a competition between reknown artists all over the world.
👍👍👍
Hua also an amazing singer and artist as well to me the second best...first is Dimash to me...🎶🎶❤❤
The first time I heard this song I was taking a psychology class, so I was thinking about disorganized/fearful-avoidant attachment the whole time.
🧅🧅🔪🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🥺😢😭So emotional touching song🎵🎶. I really want to hug🫂 and ❤ him .
Oh what else a mental trance. Just self indulgence
Regarding this show, iirc it's actually composed of famous and top singers who compete by showing off their very best so it's a legit gathering of talents
When you see Hua Chenyu, think of a Chinese David Bowie. He is brilliant, creative and emotional. Look for his interviews over the years, especially the ones that explain his songs and you will have a deeper understanding of the incredible man that grew out of a troubled, damaged little boy. He is very special.
China’s game show The Singer invites established singers to compete. They invite one singer not established.
Someone who is well acquainted with the Buddha's teachings or Buddhist Philosophies would be able to resonate well with the lyrics of this song. The song depicts the mental struggle of a spiritually lost practitioner who in this case, is a monk. The monk is still enticed by worldly pleasures as evident in his lustful pursuit for sensual gratifications without commitments. He detests ugly things in this world while gladly embraces sensual pleasures without holding back. Clearly, these volitions go against the Buddha's teachings, whose ultimate goal is to attain liberation (Nibbana) from the endless rebirth cycle (Samsara). The part where the lyrics mentioned "when you see that I am weary, please give me a bowl of water. If you love me, please give me a kiss on the lips". I opined that this monk has gone spiritually disarray. He is still very much attached to worldly possessions and will have no qualms breaking his precepts. One can say that his mind has been preoccupied by Mara, the Evil One. In fact, the Evil One doesn't like sentient beings to be liberated. He very much wants everyone to hang around in this world so that he can exercise dominance over sentient beings through sensuality. Nearing the end of the performance when Hua collapsed on the piano, I opined that the monk is depicted to have been spiritually misguided and exhausted to the point that he has gone mad. One would have thought that he would repent from his mistakes and wake up as a different monk. But no. This is evident from the last part of the lyrics - "I want to walk from the south to the north and from day to night'. This very much depicts that the Evil One has not only preoccupied his mind, the Evil One has already conquered his mind. The Evil One and the monk are now one and the same. Earlier I mentioned the Evil One likes to exercise dominance over sentient beings by subjugating their minds through sensuality. The Evil One had in the past, at the present moment, and into the future, walk amongst all beasts, persons both human and divine, to pull a veil over their eyes. The last part of the song depicts exactly just that - "I want everyone to notice me, but not know who I am". Evil Monk would be a more appropriate name for the name of this song. By the way, this is a cover song. The original composer and singer of this song is a Chinese rock band.
Find the video with Hua’s intro.
He does not want to be the subject of the worlds projection on him, the scene and the the beyond the scene, since he does not want that to hindered his own search in regard who he is himself and how much vulnerability he will let on. The ultimate projection and protagoniste, being his wife or his lover.
Finally, after the catharsis moment, not wanting to feel someone else pain was hiding his own deep foly, so when the projections are over, The soul Hua still wonder who he is, the search goes on with more awreness.
This song was about a fake Tao Buddist monk which is like a split from reality because Tao Buddist religion is all about truth. He wants to be noticed and loved but not followed which is another denial of true Tao Buddhism because every master must teach, much as a Christian minister must. He is a fake monk because he’s quite insane. The lyrics explain the rest, along with Hua’s performance of a mad monk.
Huahua rearrange this song, so actually this song is not originally his. You should try his original songs Seven personality: m.kzhead.info/sun/iMOBgpp5eqibl30/bejne.html&pp=ygUiaHVhIGNoZW55dSA3IHBlcnNvbmFsaXRpZXMgZW5nIHN1Yg%3D%3D Madhouse: m.kzhead.info/sun/mtmzY8eJlqFnias/bejne.html&pp=ygUcaHVhIGNoZW4geXUgbWFkaG91c2UgZW5nIHN1Yg%3D%3D
