Huang Xiaoyun (黄霄雲) 'Only for Love' Singer 2020

oh man. Didn't expect to see Huang Xiaoyun while scrolling through posts. She's such an incredible singer, and I've been obsessed with her voice lately. I would recommend her song Love in the Clouds, from the drama of the same name. "With My body" from Till the End of the Moon soundtrack, and ReOracle from Honkai Impact 3rd. Those are some of my favorites of hers.

Hi Tim, thank you so much for this fast reaction! Even though I’ve watched this performance countless times, your analysis still pointed out subtle nuances that I had never noticed before. It’s heart-wrenching to remember that during this period, due to the severe cyber-bullying she was facing, very few people were willing to actually listen to her voice. Many judges even took off their headphones the moment she stepped on stage. Ghost knew that no matter how well she performed, she stood no chance of winning. So she essentially used this stage as her 'Swan Song'—bringing every vocal weapon in her arsenal to deliver a near-perfect performance as a final act of defiance. As expected, she was eliminated with the lowest score. The impact was devastating; her confidence was shattered, and she developed a deep-seated fear of the stage. It took four years of encouragement from family, friends, and fans for her to finally step out of that shadow. It is a pity that, after this performance, she shifted much of her focus toward Pop vocal training and didn't performed these Operatic/Classical Crossover pieces very often. However, she remains a powerhouse in the Pop world, mastering everything from ballads and rock to EDM and 'Guofeng' (Chinese Oriental Fusion). I'm so glad you appreciated her artistry here—I can’t wait to share more of her versatile repertoire with you. Let’s stay in touch!

She does an amazing job of getting me to understand the emotion behind the song despite the language barrier. Motoki Ohmori of Mrs. Green Apple is also good at that and there’s a couple of artists from Eurovision that turn my heart into mush.

her OST song for Love in the clouds is so epic. they played her song during some of the most memorable scenes when she hits the high notes and it just hits all of my emotions and gives me the feels.

Huang Xiaoyun is a classically trained singer (same thing with zhou shen)! Pretty sure she graduate from a really well-known national music academy in China.
