Breathing & Dance Patterns whilst singing <精舞门> By 罗志祥

Hi everyone! So sorry for not posting for nearly a week. It's been one of a hectic week for me, work-wise and social-wise so posting was impossible as I was always bleary-eyed at the end of the day and any attempt to post about musical/singing instructions may end up imparting the wrong things so I waited till I have enough sleep first.

Alright, as promised to the various CSS 2 contestants and singing enthusiasts who have been patiently following my blog, this blogpost will be about breathing patterns and dance breaks of a fast song. I have chosen a recently released fast track for the case study and hope all of you can have fun reading, practising and enjoying the song as well.

(Health-warning: As opposed to the two lines of the lyics below about wearing listening to music using earpieces or headphones whilst sleeping, it has been proven that such action would be harmful to your eardrums and may cause permanent damage.)

Remember what Xu Huan Liang said about adding one extra mark for a fast track song selection, adding another extra mark for a fast track song performance done well and deducting three extra marks for a fast track song performance done badly. If one is not prepared adequately for a fast track song performance, and is without the stamina to pull it off, the performance can end up quite terrible so be forewarned about this too.
.
Of course, I also understand that some of the feedback I receive about this series of blogposts are that they are a little oversimplified. It's just what I intended - simple, comprehensive and fun to twiddle with. What about the more complicated things like head voice, chest voice, diaphragm dynamics as some wanted? I prefer to keep those on hold until the basics are adequately understood. Am I professional? No. Does it matter to me? No. Does it matter to you? You decide ba.

Without further ado, here we go...

As usual, the following will be the legend for the song below:
