A music show from Hunan Satellite TV named I’m a singer has been gaining popularity since the heat from voice of china gradually cooled, The show invites professional musicians to compete , Rather than using the traditional underdogs-become –famous format,it is up to the 500 aucience members to decide the fate of the stars on stage ,Let’s check out how the readaptation of a classic love song to rock’n’roll introduced us to the emotional world of rock nusic.

In the second week of the Hunan TV music competiton show I’m a singer,paul Wong surprised his audience members and fellow contestants with a rock adaptation of the famous 1993 hit Goodbye Kiss by Jacky Cheung.Although the lyrics remain unchanged and the original structured is largely maintained, Wong’s rock adaptation of the song truns it into something completely new, No longer is it the sorrowful tale of two lovers parting ways, but an accusation filled with repressed anger.

With so much of the original song, untouched , what is it that transforms the song to such an extent that the TV show’s host seemed barely to recognize it?

It’s not only the instrumentation and the different sound of the song that makes it a rock version

Something degy—it is the sound of rebellion.

By keeping the original lyrics but transforming their meaning through a reinterpretation of the musical accompaniment(伴奏), wong’s adaptation becomes as much a song about rebellion as it is a rebellion against the original version of the song itself.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?(No more than 15 words)

2.Fill the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words(No more than 5 words)

3.Who decide the fate of the performers?(No more than 8 woreds)

4.List three factors which make the readaptation of the song Goodbye Kiss quite different?

① ；② ；③
