离巨星二十英尺

貌似要感谢中国好声音，让我一点点认识到伴唱者是一群多么无奈又美妙的职业。
　　这也许是世界上最矛盾纠结的工作，你需要天生的音乐才华，却同时要懂得如何隐藏和掩盖它，方能尽到职责。
　　所以每一个老歌手笑着说这是老天给她的命运时，我都会隐隐的心痛。
　　
　　You don't need hold on necessarily to your individual vocal persona, cause you're trying to get your persona to bland and mesh with the other voices. That's awesome.
　　
　　I could be different people a chameleon, it's just like you could change up. You're never bored.
　　
　　一个黑人女歌手骄傲的说她是组合的一员，这是自己争取来的，“I actually sing on the key.” 那样的骄傲让人不忍直视梦想的重量。
　　
　　每个伴唱都有一个当牧师的爹，是不是很神奇？
　　
　　God gave me this talent and I intend to use it.
　　
　　黑人歌者有着自己的骄傲，他们称白人歌手为朗读者(reader)，因为他们离了谱子就歇菜了。
　　"They handle us the music when we came in and we took it like we were pro too, like we would really read it."这一句让我会心一笑，我是听说过黑人的音乐天赋的，那样的即兴表演和人来疯一样的转音，那时老天赏的饭碗，学都学不来。
　　
　　If given the opportunity, we will demonstrate our value beyond any reasonable doubt. So much so that going forward, when you start to define singing, it's going to be based on this transformative sounds coming out of these backup singers' mouths.
　　歌手和伴唱的依存关系，大致在此。
　　
　　伴唱是最接近歌手的人，但恰恰是这个最近的二十英尺阻隔他们走到舞台中央的可能。
　　In a strange way, the gulf between the lead singer and that group of backup singers couldn't be wider.
　　因为那是一个舞台上两种截然不同的人生选择，一个习惯主导，一个擅长迎合；一个张扬外露，一个隐忍内敛；一个想着如何让自己舒服，一个揣度如何让别人开心。心理是最大的鸿沟，观众喜欢的一定那种坚持自我，自信独尊的个性歌手，是那份独一无二，信马由缰，而这样的人一辈子都不会是一个有着变色龙声音的伴唱。有时真不知道，是性格决定了这种职业的命运，还是职业的选择养成了这样的性格，无论前者还是后者，都何尝不是一种悲哀？

那些在空荡荡的走廊里盘着腿思考的人啊，那些在黄昏的阳台上看着夕阳死去的人啊，那些在书架间长久站立后换个姿势的人啊，不要轻易让那些一闪而过的念头打败你的所有热情和动力，无声的背景音乐一直在生活中流淌缭绕着每一份喜悦与惊讶、哀伤和忧患，所有的所作所为不是无人注视而他们终将有目共睹，告诉自己" I've got a dream to remember"
　　
　　还不是take a bow的时候，你，准备好了么
　　
　　Now it's your time
　　
　　记住，那一句” Anyway, I made it"里的过去时态将会是一生的骄傲
　　
　　
　　喜欢的话————
　　Marble Jones: When a woman doesn't know who she is and she settles for less, check out your worth, because you're worth more than that
　　
　　Merry Clayton: and I just stay cool, stay humble, stay beautiful and just do the work
　　
　　Claudia Lennear: It's been a regret that I didn't just hang in there, especially when I see my contemporaries progressing in their musical lives
　　I never said it wasn't for me, never. If I did, I was lying to myself. It's always been for me, always.
　　Just do it, maybe that's one way to get rid of that gnawing once for all
　　
　　Tata Vega: Opportunity's knocking, open the door, get going, kiddo
　　
　　Wonder: A lot of it is based on so many other things that have nothing to do with music, but you know, at the end of the day ,it's up to you to perfect that gift that you've been given
　　
　　PS:  Twenty Feet from Stardom 离巨星二十尺，或许”二十尺外是巨星“
　　        特别喜欢Lisa Fischer的声音，she's singing a feather and I’m the feather then.
