I totally agree with you and that's why I like him too. His originality, his creativity, how he's not afraid to step out of what's musically and emotionally comfortable. He truly challenges you as a listener!
Question: How many genres can fit into one song? Answer: Nunchucks 😉😂 Now I'm going to tell you the same thing I said about Dimash.... you have barely scratched the surface of this young man's talent. Hua Chenyu is not only a total performer, but probably the most versatile performer I've ever seen. He is second to none in the fan interaction/audience participation category. For his performance of "I Don't Care" on Singer (his original composition BTW), he taught the backup singers to sing "more like the audience ". A musical genius, he's a perfectionist on stage... but his personality off stage could be likened to a child-like love of life wrapped up in a mature man's body. If you watch closely at the end of his performances, (if the camera doesn't cut off too soon) you can actually see him "shake off" his stage persona and return to reality. Total immersion. The Singer performance of Mountain and Sea is a great example. His concert at the Bird's Nest (90,000 seat capacity) sold out in less than two minutes. A second concert date was added and it sold out in less than 3 minutes. Keep reacting to him... you won't regret it.
All you've said about Hua Chenyu is so true, he is a great performer. Whenever I watch this video it always makes me smile, it's so full of life, if you want to cry watch 'Dad, I'm Home' that's an amazing performance, I really rate this young man, so talented. He and Dimash, to me, were the standouts of this competition.
Hua Chenyu is definitely my favorite singer now and the more I know him, the more I admire and respect him. He has so many different styles and has great versatility and artistry and he is also a great human being. I wish more people will discover him. Please react to more of Hua Chenyu!
Yes, Jessie J is one of the contestants, same as Hua Chenyu, and Hua Chenyu is her most powerful contestant (although Hua is a very humble person who has no intent to win anyone but only forces on his performances). Jessie J and him kind dominated this show, Jessie J won 5 times in whole 13 episodes including the finale, Hua won 4 times in 10 episodes (he wasn't the initial singer who appeared from the very beginning of the show, but attend from the 4th as a substitute singer) and runner-up in the finale.
Another artist in this show is Tengri 'Heaven' , he has a unique technique in singing. Hua chenyu made a cover this song "heaven", as another interpretation in a show . Please check out this perfomances!
This made me so happy! I really enjoyed your reactions to Dimash, but this, this just made my day. This song shows most of all that he is very versatile as an artist, and that his stage presence and performing skills are very well developed. But it when it comes to him as an artist in his entirety, it just gives you a little hint of what he's got. In my opinion he is one of the (the) most intetesting artists of today, he is so fresh and diffrent and unique. Of course unique. So unique. It can be sonetimes hard to judge his singing skill based on what is established as good or great singing. He uses his voice as more than just a voice, he sees himself as a part of the whole, his voice also a musical instrument. Example, often he don't use vibrato, not because he can't, he very much can, but he wants a clean sound. We can never know what to expect from him. I really hope you'll react more to him. Great songs are Fake monk m.ua-cam.com/video/3or9nB1IH7A/v-deo.html Child m.ua-cam.com/video/s14WlqrOTF8/v-deo.html Ordinary path m.ua-cam.com/video/GjV0NF_LccU/v-deo.html Equal to heaven m.ua-cam.com/video/cUG4fLLd4yQ/v-deo.html
Hua Chenyu has a goldmine of great performances in Singer 2018. So does KZ Tandingan, starting with her "Rolling In The Deep" cover. "Every breath you take I'll be Hua Chenyu"
He is a true performer but an amazing composer ! He is a musical genius that is not afraid to be himself. He is such a kind and humble person ! Thank you for your reaction .
I highly recommend Hua Chenyu’s performance of “Child” from The Singer competition to see even more remarkable mouth manipulations and a beautiful emotional journey. No rap in that one. I think you would be fascinated by it. The pronunciation of his name is similar to “watching you” Also “Fake Monk” is powerful and a work of art, and “Heaven” is just inspiring. Thanks for reacting to this interesting artist.
Loooove HUa Chenyu ( nick name HUa Hua in China) !!! Hua Chenyu is reallly so versatile, and he has courage to do his own things with both the song, way of singing and his artistic performances! Looking so much forward to see you react to a bit more of his, so you can really sense his skills in singing and performing ! ^^
He mixes pop, rock, rap, and traditional Chinese opera techniques in this song... He's is one of the most influential artists in China at this time! So talented and creative!
Glad that you are reacting to Hua, I call him a box of surprises. Here he is performing at The Singer 2018. He is very unique and a great performer and composer . On the Singer 2018 check also Tengri, Jessie J, KZ Tandingan, just to mention a few 😂😂. Great reaction 💞
Enjoyed your reaction. A lot of people have suggested his dad I'm home. You need to be sure and watch this one with subtitles. They are really needed. This song is known as the saddest song.
Wah chen you...Hua Chenyu HuaHua...Wah Wah...The Bruce Lee of Chinese Music....Has same reputation as Dimash....Alien, Angel, from Mars...not Human...etc etc....Thanks for reacting to HuaHua....Changed Jay Chow's rap song in 24 hours for this show....I hear Muse too...but Ya about Linkin Park I've heard. still his own style. Voice crack?...if he did it twice he meant to do it twice...
Hello, can I suggest to listen to *Bullfighting* his performance in concert is magical. And theres a part where he prerecorded his voice.. and sing .. with him lolll! But its a powerful performance! And its a love song.. but not the way we usually ear them. Hua Hua is unique and stay true to himself over the years. Thank you very much for this reaction... :)
Great reaction. Hua Chenyu is super talented singer.Please continue to do his reaction.It's never boring to watch him. You'll be surprised.😊😊😊looking forward to your reaction.
Welcome to the world of Hua Chenyu...This guy is so talented... you have to react to CHILD and also NANPING EVENING BELLS... both are stunning.. he definitely knows what he's doing!,
I've never heard this artist before. I kind of like the rap part of his performance and like how he mixed it up vocally with different creative styles.
@Hua Chenyu English Subs yes, thank you so much! I just love everything about him, and I stop everything I do whenever you pubish a new video. Thank you
Hua Chenyu is very different than Dimash. But he is a fascinating singer. He is greatly loved by his fans. Jessie J was invited to be in the contest that year. All of her performances were amazing! The Chinese people loved her! KZ Tandigan was also in the contest that year. (The Singer 2018) You would really enjoy reacting to all of them. 💐
More than a good singer, he is a musical genius with much creativity. That’s how he always keeps people surprised by his every single performance. He is also an excellent story teller with his musical and stage presence.
Great reaction. I loved that you noticed the intricacies. Hua Chenyu sings a number of styles. This was his own arrangement of a popular song by another artist. The section you liked with the hand movements is actually sung and acted in the style of classical Beijing Opera. He also brought in an opera choir to sing the backing vocals during the section that reminded you of Lincoln Park. You should try reacting to his song Child from the same contest for a completely different side of his singing. Make sure you listen to one with subs.
Thanks Jeffery! That choir sound was so great in that section. Interesting to know about the song and what he was doing there! I'll keep Child in mind for a future video :)
It isn’t mentioned often enough, but Hua Hua is one of those rare artists who is a triple threat. The voice, song writing ability and performance ability are all amazing. And he wields all three to evoke emotions in his listeners. (Like mentioned in the reaction.) Hua often says that he doesn’t care what the listener feels as long as they feel. Which is the mark of an artist and not just a performer.
Great analisys! We can see that you have a lot of musical knowledge and can show us why we like Hua Chenyu so much. I think you'll love his other performances on the Singer. They are all impressive and different. I suggest child.
I love Hua. He has that special something. He appeared on this show a year after Dimash. That was Jessie J and she won the competition. Thanks for your reactions. Always love your perspectives....Another great one to react to is Wayfarer by Hua...
Hi caleb, I've been watching Hua Hua since his 2018 singer performances, he reminds me of a young David Bowie which was my era. Very creative off the norm talent.
This Is the best artist and performer of the world ( creative, versatile and different) Hua Hua Is the biggest superstar of the song in China and its multitudinous concerts beat récords. He Is an ARTIST with all the Letters💥😈💪💋😵😱😲😭♥️😇🔥👑
I like how you said that he reminds you of Linkin Park, but Linkin Park was a band, he is ALONE on the stage❤️ Hua Chenyu is a prolific artist, focused more on the composing and performance aspects than just singing. Everything he does on the stage is planned in detail to offer the audience an unique experience, and man, he is unique ❤️
hey happy u found hua hua i am aussie and i love him i think his talent is so good he is 'just music" plain and simple listen to his song :wukong" he wrote for the movie monkey king and a vocal coaches dream "child" which he rearranged in 24 hrs like nunchuks u just listened too that was a old rap song very plain etc
Hi, I am happy you like his originality and creativity. He is not only a good singer but a great performer and composer as well. He re-arranged this song and really made it his own. Please react to Fake Monk from The Singer, intense, unusual and certainly creative and original :-)
Wow what a great analysis Caleb! You captured so many little details that make Hua Chengyu so special and surprising and show his versatility and uniqueness...
Hi Caleb, what a great and observant reactor you are. You got it at the first sight that Hua Chenyu is unique and different, thank you for the details analysis. He is not only a singer, great performer but also a composer. He is famous for his talent in rearranging song and he is full of surprises. He oftens moves the audiences through roller coaster of emotions, he once said that he is not a cover singer, he is a singer songwriter which he wants audiences to feels his music, not how good he can sing. You will definitely enter a different world as he doesn't stay in the norm rules when come to music, he is a master of mixing genres. Please continue to check his music.
@@CalebColesMusic Thank you and I suggest you check his "I don't care" and "Child". In fact, it's a story line he is trying to tell in his performances on Singer 2018. Go check Hua Chenyu MarsTranslation channel playlist for his songs translated. His first performance on Singer 2018 is Equal to Heaven
Enjoyed your comments and on point on Hua's performance. I agree that he purposely uses his vocal to get the effects he wants in his songs. Look forward to more reactions to Hua. Hope you get to see all his performances from the Singer to all his many styles and surprises. Also some great performances from the Next, and Ace vs Ace, and duets. which shows off is creative talents.
Congratulations! You just discovered the most versatile young singer/composer in Asia! In fact, I even haven't found a similar artist who is as versatile as him in western yet... Hua's "Nunchucks" comprises different elements including opera, rap, rock and Chinese traditional opera, but the original song is a pure rap song, he added these extra elements in! BUT he has much more talents than what he shows in "Nunchucks". He always performs a different style on the SINGER 2018's stage. Just for your choices, if you like ROCK N ROLL, check out his original song "I don't care"(ep7), to know how high he can hit and his voice control, check out "Child"(ep5), or something really DARK, ARTISTIC and you have never seen before? "Fake Monk" is the answer!
WOW, your suggestions are very attractive. i thought you are recommend different singers but not only Hua Chenyu. He look like dare to play many style of music
Thanks again Caleb for a very informative reaction. It really helps when you explain what's happening technically. This was my first time hearing him as well, so we both were surprised. Very interesting. Have a good one.
Hi Caleb, in as much as I enjoyed this performance, I enjoyed more watching you and hearing your analysis; you are definitely The Reactor, there is no one like you. i can feel you and your passion for art. Thank you and keep it up. 🌷
Hua Chenyu is one those artists who care a LOT about how to convey certain emotions through his music, using his voice as an instrument to experiment with. (and he doesn’t care about others’ criticisms since he follows his own rules | this guy is an inspiration) I think his most experimental and unconventional arrangements/compositions/songs are ‘Fake Monk’, ‘Idiot’ and ‘Cancer’ (the latter is his own composition/song and it has no lyrics). He’s also musically very cultured and likes to add bits of Western culture in his arrangements/songs (like classic opera, for example). Especially if you check out the “behind the scenes” of ‘Idiot’ where he explains his choices in terms of composing (not sure if the subtitled clip is still on UA-cam though). Although ‘Fake Monk’ and ‘Idiot’ are my favorite performances from his (with ‘Dad, I’m Home’), ‘Cancer’ still leaves me in shock each time I listen to it. It’s disturbing, it’s rough and unnerving, it gives you chills. It perfectly represents the stages of the actual disease. And he’s able to convey all these emotions with just his voice, his heart and his brain. It’s honestly amazing. He’s amazing.
Hua's timbre is always very intentional. It will sound different to your ears partly because it is based in Chinese traditions and partly because he has developed his own modifications that suit what he wants to do. He is completely committed to producing his music, his way and hopes others will enjoy it. If they don't, that's okay too.
It was Jessie J.She won the competition.Hua came second.It is a very interesting and complex competition.One is eliminated,another joins in.Hua joined in episode 4.Jessie said:I was doing ok until you came along.Haha.Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hua Chenyu is the most talented, wonderful, brilliant artist. He conveys feelings and emotions without words, he is sincere and passionate in everything he does, he is unique. he deserves to be promoted and loved for his musical genius and for his wonderful personality.
Caleb. I am a new subscriber; within a weeks span you have you reacted to my 2 favorite singers, and your insight and musical knowledge, as well as legitimately enjoying what you are listening to, you have my respect. A couple of thoughts: I know you will continue to react to Dimash and Hua Chenyu, so I am mostly repeating what others have said. I definitely recommend Child, Dad I'm Home, Heaven (after you do Tengger's version), but also check out "Nanping Evening Bell", a duet with Juno Su. It is stunning and my 2nd favorite of his Also, this is Singer 2018, the year after Dimash. And that WAS Jessie J, she was a contestant. The battles throughout that competition was fun, and the right 2 singers finished 1 and 2 ;) Nice reaction again, and thank you!!
It's pronounced Hoowa (all one fluid sound, meaning flower some people call him Hua Hua) then Chenyu you were right. Love him he's awesome! I'm a huge fan of Hua Chenyu and Dimash. I Love your reaction
I think it would be really interesting from your songwriters perspective to talk about some of his performances that he has rearranged from other songs and what goes into it and the complexity of recreating well known songs. Maybe that's just me, but I would find a comparison video really interesting.
HuaHua is the king of stage performance...... he becomes the song. And if you watch all of his live performances you can see the moment he comes out of song... you can actually see it in his eyes and his demeanor. He is so awesome. He puts his music 1st, and does not care what the industry wants of him, he does exactly what he wants and how he wants to do it. He couldcare less about awards, record sales and popularity. He is truly unique and 100% real. Not to mention humble and shy ( but is also quite playful and silly). Thank you for reacting to him. You will find his songs are truly unique, and all are so different.
Yes Hua Hua! He is magnificent. He has so much versatility in his voice as you’ll find in his other songs. I recommend I don’t care, super explosive and Child next from him for some different styles of his to analyse 👍👍 - @dimash_huachenyu_fans
I truly enjoyed your reaction. It was educational... You're one of the rare few who commented on Hua's voice cracking on the high note. I don't know enough about music to 'hear' it. But I do believe it. I recall watching one of his videos when he mentioned how he was expected to sing this very high note. He didn't think he could but he kept trying, trying and trying... Another song that Hua had no problem singing despite how it would make him look publicly, please try *Fake Monk*.
His "fake monk" is really really amazing..but i suggest u to focus listening to the song, n let he touch ur soul coz that's very unique performance n then comment after that
Please react to Hua Chenyu “I don’t care” and “child” and “Nanping Evening Bells” *I recommend Nanping Evening Bells because it’s a duet with a woman who has a BEAUTIFUL voice like unreal and it’s one of my favorite performances like ever* PLEASE WATCH ITT. You won’t regret it lmao Im gonna subscribe and wait for Nanping Evening Bells :)
Can you please react to Hua Chenyu... Child Fake monk Dad, I'm home Ordinary path Wayfarer Qi Tian Heaven Ashes from fireworks Salt of the earth And Tengri Heaven....thanks
He's exactly like Linkin Park but he does it all by himself. Very versatile If you feel this performance is unusual, you should react to fake monk. Once in a lifetime experience. Then you'll say no nunchucks is not that unusual
Welcome to the world of HUA CHENYU and of course DIMASH. I am looking forward to many more reactions to my favorite two performers from you. For HUA please react to I DON'CARE and CHILD and .......so many more.
I love watching how you genuinely enjoy what you're listening to. It's written all over your face. Hua is amazing. Enjoy the journey, there's much to explore with him. One of my favorite artists, and I can't understand a word he says. I don't think you need to understand, he makes you feel every word.
Caleb - thanks for this great reaction. I discovered Hua Chenyu on The Singer when I saw Dimash singing 'Hello'. He instantly captivated me - nothing I've ever heard from Western music! Check out his duet with Su Shiding 'Nanping Evening Bells' - jaw dropping!
OMG you have to react to Hua Chenyu version of "Heaven" original artist in the same show (Tengri)! Absolutely stunning performance. They are very different, but, Hua does a very emotional, modern version that will rock your world! Please do this reaction! Best, B
Please react to Child, Fake Monk, Heaven, ....Ordinary Path, Qi-Tian, Aliens... well HuaHua has a whole treasure of songs..and he is unique indeed! I love your reactions,, you give me some new perspectives on this one (and the ones of Dimash) I am one of these fans loving both😉😍
Tengri will really blow your mind if you've never heard Mongolian singing, I heard Ayunga does it too since he's also Mongolian? I once found a video of Dimash attempting that but it wasn't very polished lol
Thanks for your great reaction. I would say that was a creative, unique and amazing performance. Hua Chenyu is a talented singer, composer, artist, etc. He is really versatile.
Hua Hua has become my all time favorite artist after only being introduced to him a year ago. This is pretty remarkable given the fact that I am a 60yo white guy from the Deep South of the U.S. Loved the perspective you bring to the game! This is only the second time watching your Reactions and I must say that I am impressed! Looking forward to hearing more from you in the future!
Loved the reaction..was great..enjoyed your breakdown 👍👍 .. check out his performance of "I Don't Care" from Singer 2018 reminds me of the things you were saying about him...he doesn't care about conforming or being judged... good insight! Thanks Caleb
Ah, Hua Chenyu is amazing! I also really enjoyed your various comments and how it offered insight into his singing. The tai chi movements and the voice definitely seem influenced by Chinese opera, and it's really cool that you picked up on the culture behind that. If I could give a recommendation for a future reaction, it'd probably be *_Zhou Shen,_* another really amazing singer from China-whose voice might surprise you!
awww i need to comment again here !!! bcos this is exactly what i meant in my other comment today on your other video with him (the one with the "dad" song) when i said - he is one of the rare ppl i love + know who can capture you, your heart+mind in no time + who can turn a simple gig into a "huge stadion concert sold out" performance and feeling bcos he do how he do and what he do lol 😂 😂 and here, now.. this is not only 1 of my 4-5 Nr1 fav songs.... (yes laugh at me - but there are 4-5 songs and all are on + as #1 listed on my top 10 list bcos i just cant seperate these , they all are to me my #1-favo songs lol) BUT - you also clearly shown here (what made me think that i have to subscribe after i send this comment lol) you shown and discribed exact the same feeling and thing you hear and see what i did felt too - and im not even a coach or have much a clue about that thing lol 😆 but that what you said + heard here and found it also awesome - is exact what i love about Hua.... he is not only talented + a huge mastermind when its about to arrange songs and make them - without destroying the main thing or the original thing - but make them songs being HIS songs +own these in a very interesting way with so much of passion, creativity and ideas + SURPRISES as well hehe... i just wanted say this here. :P and PS: LOL - you are the first one who truly realized in all this "much of things happening on stage with Hua"... that JESSIE J was there ...!!!! HAHA - yes true its her, she was invited there and been the whole show around and there are more of his performances where she also appears with the others in backround hehe - she ate the most time yummy food - and enjoyed it alot there i guess , haha 😂 😂
another nice one from him is " FAKE MONK" its very very nice and if u want to cry try "hua chenyu dad i'm home"
Here it is with English subs: ua-cam.com/video/3or9nB1IH7A/v-deo.html
fake monk feeling so lonely so darkness.....i sad to hear
I totally agree with you and that's why I like him too. His originality, his creativity, how he's not afraid to step out of what's musically and emotionally comfortable. He truly challenges you as a listener!
He sang the slow high pitch part in the traditional Beijing Opera way, very cool.
Question: How many genres can fit into one song?
Answer: Nunchucks 😉😂

Thanks for the info Julie, you can tell how immersed he is in his music it is a joy to watch!
@@CalebColesMusic this performer is a GEM
He's totally free. Just as Dimash K. Both from opposites ends of the spectrum. Both genius. Both grab you and don't let you go. Mozart and Chopin
All you've said about Hua Chenyu is so true, he is a great performer. Whenever I watch this video it always makes me smile, it's so full of life, if you want to cry watch 'Dad, I'm Home' that's an amazing performance, I really rate this young man, so talented. He and Dimash, to me, were the standouts of this competition.

Oh ...one of my favorite...next..." I don't care"... is also EPIC...thanks for your comments
Yes i love 'i don't care' 😊

in his entirety, it just gives you a little hint of what he's got.
In my opinion he is one of the (the) most intetesting artists of today, he is so fresh and diffrent and unique.
Of course unique. So unique.
It can be sonetimes hard to judge his singing skill based on what is established as good or great singing.
He uses his voice as more than just a voice, he sees himself as a part of the whole, his voice also a musical instrument.
Example, often he don't use vibrato, not because he can't, he very much can, but he wants a clean sound.
We can never know what to expect from him.
I really hope you'll react more to him.

I'm very glad you found Hua Huan. Hua Hua and Dimash are my favorites .Both are masters of today. Thank you very much!!

Hua Chenyu has a goldmine of great performances in Singer 2018. So does KZ Tandingan, starting with her "Rolling In The Deep" cover. "Every breath you take I'll be Hua Chenyu"

I'm loving your channel! Dimash is #1 but I really enjoy Hua Chenuy as well.
There are so many good singers in the world! But for us, Dimash is number one in the world, because he is number one!
Enjoyed your reaction. A lot of people have suggested his dad I'm home. You need to be sure and watch this one with subtitles. They are really needed. This song is known as the saddest song.
Wah chen you...Hua Chenyu HuaHua...Wah Wah...The Bruce Lee of Chinese Music....Has same reputation as Dimash....Alien, Angel, from Mars...not Human...etc etc....Thanks for reacting to HuaHua....Changed Jay Chow's rap song in 24 hours for this show....I hear Muse too...but Ya about Linkin Park I've heard. still his own style. Voice crack?...if he did it twice he meant to do it twice...
This young man is fantastic🤩🤩🤩
Please check out Hua Chen Yu’s “Dad, I’m home” performance. He delivers another stunning performance. Thanks.👍🏼

I've never heard this artist before. I kind of like the rap part of his performance and like how he mixed it up vocally with different creative styles.
It's very interesting! I really enjoyed it. I like something a bit different every now and then :)
@@CalebColesMusic I agree. If we don't open our horizon to different types of music we could miss the gems along the way
@Hua Chenyu English Subs yes, thank you so much! I just love everything about him, and I stop everything I do whenever you pubish a new video. Thank you
Wow the whole performance is so so epic! Hua Chen Yu he is really unique and amazing. Please react to Fake Monk !
Hua Chenyu is very different than Dimash. But he is a fascinating singer. He is greatly loved by his fans. Jessie J was invited to be in the contest that year. All of her performances were amazing!

You should try reacting to his song Child from the same contest for a completely different side of his singing. Make sure you listen to one with subs.
Thanks Jeffery! That choir sound was so great in that section. Interesting to know about the song and what he was doing there! I'll keep Child in mind for a future video :)
Thank you for the explanation and, yes, Child would be great!
Yes, Child will give you an emotional reaction. Hua has always said the voice is simply another instrument, and this song showcases all of it.
@@CalebColesMusic CHILD, totally diff styles
It isn’t mentioned often enough, but Hua Hua is one of those rare artists who is a triple threat. The voice, song writing ability and performance ability are all amazing. And he wields all three to evoke emotions in his listeners. (Like mentioned in the reaction.) Hua often says that he doesn’t care what the listener feels as long as they feel. Which is the mark of an artist and not just a performer.
Great analisys! We can see that you have a lot of musical knowledge and can show us why we like Hua Chenyu so much. I think you'll love his other performances on the Singer. They are all impressive and different. I suggest child.
Thanks!
I love Hua. He has that special something. He appeared on this show a year after Dimash. That was Jessie J and she won the competition. Thanks for your reactions. Always love your perspectives....Another great one to react to is Wayfarer by Hua...
Hi caleb, I've been watching Hua Hua since his 2018 singer performances, he reminds me of a young David Bowie which was my era. Very creative off the norm talent.
Hua Chenyu has a crazy vocal."Nunchucks" rearranged by him, combined different elements such as rap rock and Chinese opera. It is amazing.
This Is the best artist and performer of the world ( creative, versatile and different)
Hua Hua Is the biggest superstar of the song in China and its multitudinous concerts beat récords.
He Is an ARTIST with all the Letters💥😈💪💋😵😱😲😭♥️😇🔥👑
I like how you said that he reminds you of Linkin Park, but Linkin Park was a band, he is ALONE on the stage❤️
Hua Chenyu is a prolific artist, focused more on the composing and performance aspects than just singing.
Everything he does on the stage is planned in detail to offer the audience an unique experience, and man, he is unique ❤️
So true!
@@CalebColesMusic thanks for the reaction, really appreciate it!
hey happy u found hua hua i am aussie and i love him i think his talent is so good he is
'just music" plain and simple listen to his song :wukong" he wrote for the movie monkey king and a vocal coaches dream "child" which he rearranged in 24 hrs like nunchuks u just listened too that was a old rap song very plain etc
Hi, I am happy you like his originality and creativity. He is not only a good singer but a great performer and composer as well. He re-arranged this song and really made it his own. Please react to Fake Monk from The Singer, intense, unusual and certainly creative and original :-)
Wow what a great analysis Caleb! You captured so many little details that make Hua Chengyu so special and surprising and show his versatility and uniqueness...
Thank you! :)
Great explanation of a style I have never heard before.
Wow ，u reacted Hua！Truth me，more him u will be surprise always！
Welcome to Hua Hua's musical world 🙌. Great reaction 👍Thanks 🤗 More Hua Hua please.
Love your reaction! Pls react more of his songs! He is a talented singer in China, I've always enjoyed his performances, true artist, thank you!
Hi Caleb, what a great and observant reactor you are. You got it at the first sight that Hua Chenyu is unique and different, thank you for the details analysis.
He is not only a singer, great performer but also a composer. He is famous for his talent in rearranging song and he is full of surprises. He oftens moves the audiences through roller coaster of emotions, he once said that he is not a cover singer, he is a singer songwriter which he wants audiences to feels his music, not how good he can sing. You will definitely enter a different world as he doesn't stay in the norm rules when come to music, he is a master of mixing genres. Please continue to check his music.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing more !
@@CalebColesMusic Thank you and I suggest you check his "I don't care" and "Child". In fact, it's a story line he is trying to tell in his performances on Singer 2018. Go check Hua Chenyu MarsTranslation channel playlist for his songs translated. His first performance on Singer 2018 is Equal to Heaven

Enjoyed your comments and on point on Hua's performance. I agree that he purposely uses his vocal to get the effects he wants in his songs. Look forward to more reactions to Hua. Hope you get to see all his performances from the Singer to all his many styles and surprises. Also some great performances from the Next, and Ace vs Ace, and duets. which shows off is creative talents.
I can't wait to see what you think about Fake Monk.
Hey Caleb. Luv your reaction to Hua Hua. Please continue to react to his performances. You won’t be disappointed
Insanely cute yet again
Congratulations! You just discovered the most versatile young singer/composer in Asia! In fact, I even haven't found a similar artist who is as versatile as him in western yet...
Hua's "Nunchucks" comprises different elements including opera, rap, rock and Chinese traditional opera, but the original song is a pure rap song, he added these extra elements in! BUT he has much more talents than what he shows in "Nunchucks". He always performs a different style on the SINGER 2018's stage. Just for your choices, if you like ROCK N ROLL, check out his original song "I don't care"(ep7), to know how high he can hit and his voice control, check out "Child"(ep5), or something really DARK, ARTISTIC and you have never seen before? "Fake Monk" is the answer!
WOW, your suggestions are very attractive. i thought you are recommend different singers but not only Hua Chenyu. He look like dare to play many style of music
Wow,great suggestion!More please,he has many different styles songs,and every song has his characteristics.So unique!
Thanks again Caleb for a very informative reaction. It really helps when you explain what's happening technically. This was my first time hearing him as well, so we both were surprised. Very interesting.
Have a good one.
Yeah indeed! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Caleb, in as much as I enjoyed this performance, I enjoyed more watching you and hearing your analysis; you are definitely The Reactor, there is no one like you. i can feel you and your passion for art. Thank you and keep it up. 🌷
Thank you so very much! It's very encouraging :)
Thank you for your reaction! I really love HuaHua. Please react to “Child" and “I Don't Care".
Hua Chenyu is one those artists who care a LOT about how to convey certain emotions through his music, using his voice as an instrument to experiment with. (and he doesn’t care about others’ criticisms since he follows his own rules | this guy is an inspiration) I think his most experimental and unconventional arrangements/compositions/songs are ‘Fake Monk’, ‘Idiot’ and ‘Cancer’ (the latter is his own composition/song and it has no lyrics).
He’s also musically very cultured and likes to add bits of Western culture in his arrangements/songs (like classic opera, for example). Especially if you check out the “behind the scenes” of ‘Idiot’ where he explains his choices in terms of composing (not sure if the subtitled clip is still on UA-cam though).
Although ‘Fake Monk’ and ‘Idiot’ are my favorite performances from his (with ‘Dad, I’m Home’), ‘Cancer’ still leaves me in shock each time I listen to it. It’s disturbing, it’s rough and unnerving, it gives you chills. It perfectly represents the stages of the actual disease. And he’s able to convey all these emotions with just his voice, his heart and his brain. It’s honestly amazing. He’s amazing.
Interesting! You can tell how much cares and the attentions he puts into the emotion of a song :)
Hua's timbre is always very intentional. It will sound different to your ears partly because it is based in Chinese traditions and partly because he has developed his own modifications that suit what he wants to do. He is completely committed to producing his music, his way and hopes others will enjoy it. If they don't, that's okay too.
At heart he is a rocker with Muse his favorite band.
Yes, Hua Chenyu will always truth to himself when come to music
@@pkfsylvia 👍
It was Jessie J.She won the competition.Hua came second.It is a very interesting and complex competition.One is eliminated,another joins in.Hua joined in episode 4.Jessie said:I was doing ok until you came along.Haha.Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hua Chenyu is the most talented, wonderful, brilliant artist. He conveys feelings and emotions without words, he is sincere and passionate in everything he does, he is unique. he deserves to be promoted and loved for his musical genius and for his wonderful personality.
Caleb. I am a new subscriber; within a weeks span you have you reacted to my 2 favorite singers, and your insight and musical knowledge, as well as legitimately enjoying what you are listening to, you have my respect. A couple of thoughts:
I know you will continue to react to Dimash and Hua Chenyu, so I am mostly repeating what others have said. I definitely recommend Child, Dad I'm Home, Heaven (after you do Tengger's version), but also check out "Nanping Evening Bell", a duet with Juno Su. It is stunning and my 2nd favorite of his
Also, this is Singer 2018, the year after Dimash. And that WAS Jessie J, she was a contestant. The battles throughout that competition was fun, and the right 2 singers finished 1 and 2 ;)
Nice reaction again, and thank you!!
Thanks Gary! I look forward to hearing those songs. I might even react to some Jessie J on The Singer too. :)
I enjoyed your reactions to Hua Hua's performance, thank you so much! He's a talented great artist, looking forward to seeing more! 😉
It's pronounced Hoowa (all one fluid sound, meaning flower some people call him Hua Hua) then Chenyu you were right. Love him he's awesome! I'm a huge fan of Hua Chenyu and Dimash. I Love your reaction
Thanks for the help :)
@@CalebColesMusic You're welcome I'm looking forward to seeing more reactions and hearing your music.
Love Hua Chenyu so much😍😍😍
I think it would be really interesting from your songwriters perspective to talk about some of his performances that he has rearranged from other songs and what goes into it and the complexity of recreating well known songs. Maybe that's just me, but I would find a comparison video really interesting.
HuaHua is the king of stage performance...... he becomes the song. And if you watch all of his live performances you can see the moment he comes out of song... you can actually see it in his eyes and his demeanor. He is so awesome. He puts his music 1st, and does not care what the industry wants of him, he does exactly what he wants and how he wants to do it. He couldcare less about awards, record sales and popularity. He is truly unique and 100% real. Not to mention humble and shy ( but is also quite playful and silly). Thank you for reacting to him. You will find his songs are truly unique, and all are so different.
Child is also very impressive, and i recomend reacting to Sohyang she is just amazing
Yes Hua Hua! He is magnificent. He has so much versatility in his voice as you’ll find in his other songs. I recommend I don’t care, super explosive and Child next from him for some different styles of his to analyse 👍👍 - @dimash_huachenyu_fans
It's been suggested to English speakers to pronounce it similar to "watchin' you" :)
Great, thanks for the help! :)
Great reaction Caleb! I invite you to discover all songs of Hua Hua,in particular FAKE MONK...see u
Thanks Guy!
@@CalebColesMusic fake monk will give u a shock
He is awesome performer. More of him please. Thanks
So Cool!His performance is unique!
I truly enjoyed your reaction. It was educational... You're one of the rare few who commented on Hua's voice cracking on the high note. I don't know enough about music to 'hear' it. But I do believe it. I recall watching one of his videos when he mentioned how he was expected to sing this very high note. He didn't think he could but he kept trying, trying and trying... Another song that Hua had no problem singing despite how it would make him look publicly, please try *Fake Monk*.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video :)
His "fake monk" is really really amazing..but i suggest u to focus listening to the song, n let he touch ur soul coz that's very unique performance n then comment after that
Please react to Hua Chenyu “I don’t care” and “child” and “Nanping Evening Bells”
*I recommend Nanping Evening Bells because it’s a duet with a woman who has a BEAUTIFUL voice like unreal and it’s one of my favorite performances like ever* PLEASE WATCH ITT. You won’t regret it lmao
Im gonna subscribe and wait for Nanping Evening Bells :)
The Singer is the best ☺️
Can you please react to Hua Chenyu...
Child
Fake monk
Dad, I'm home
Ordinary path
Wayfarer
Qi Tian
Heaven
Ashes from fireworks
Salt of the earth
And Tengri Heaven....thanks
"Drinking alone " the human instrument melody. Really amazing and beautiful voice. Tq
He's exactly like Linkin Park but he does it all by himself. Very versatile
If you feel this performance is unusual, you should react to fake monk. Once in a lifetime experience. Then you'll say no nunchucks is not that unusual
Look forward to it ! :)
Yesss.. Fake Monk is the craziest
Love your reaction! More of him please! "Fake Monk" is my absolutely favorite and “Child” was also very beautiful!
Welcome to the world of HUA CHENYU and of course DIMASH. I am looking forward to many more reactions to my favorite two performers from you. For HUA please react to I DON'CARE and CHILD and .......so many more.
I love watching how you genuinely enjoy what you're listening to. It's written all over your face. Hua is amazing. Enjoy the journey, there's much to explore with him. One of my favorite artists, and I can't understand a word he says. I don't think you need to understand, he makes you feel every word.
True! :)
Caleb - thanks for this great reaction. I discovered Hua Chenyu on The Singer when I saw Dimash singing 'Hello'. He instantly captivated me - nothing I've ever heard from Western music! Check out his duet with Su Shiding 'Nanping Evening Bells' - jaw dropping!
I'll check it out thanks for sharing !!
Great reaction ,Hua is so talented :)
Great reaction there Caleb, keep going, Asia is going to blow your mind. Because Morisette Amon and So Hyang still await you as well....
Hua - Dad, l'm home, please.
Caleb, eng subs are an absolute necessity for the performance of Dad, I'm Home. Pure art ❤ here's the link
ua-cam.com/video/GvwrIm0u5sk/v-deo.html
One of the best reactions and analysis of Hua’s unique style and voice.
OMG you have to react to Hua Chenyu version of "Heaven" original artist in the same show (Tengri)! Absolutely stunning performance. They are very different, but, Hua does a very emotional, modern version that will rock your world! Please do this reaction! Best, B
Thanks Caleb for reacting to Hua! He is unbelievable! Check out more...Fake Monk is wild! Love him! #HuaChenyu!
Please react to Child, Fake Monk, Heaven, ....Ordinary Path, Qi-Tian, Aliens... well HuaHua has a whole treasure of songs..and he is unique indeed! I love your reactions,, you give me some new perspectives on this one (and the ones of Dimash) I am one of these fans loving both😉😍
"He's unusual" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You have no idea....😂😂😂😂😂👽👽👽welcome to Mars.💕 You must check out Fake Monk. It is a work of art.
Check out Tengri's Heaven from Singer 2018. It's amazing.
Yes this!!! Tengi is such a great singer!!
Yessss
Yes!!!
Yes! And Hua did his own version of Heaven a few years ago, so if you do Heaven, do Tengger's version, then Hua's, for a contrast.
Tengri will really blow your mind if you've never heard Mongolian singing, I heard Ayunga does it too since he's also Mongolian? I once found a video of Dimash attempting that but it wasn't very polished lol
Thanks for your great reaction. I would say that was a creative, unique and amazing performance. Hua Chenyu is a talented singer, composer, artist, etc. He is really versatile.
This reaction draws so many comments, enjoying reading them. Thanks for reacting to huahua’s music.
:) Thanks
Please please please react to his new song “The new world” and “Bullfighting”! They’re both unique and great songs!!!
React to fake monk from him
Hua Hua has become my all time favorite artist after only being introduced to him a year ago. This is pretty remarkable given the fact that I am a 60yo white guy from the Deep South of the U.S. Loved the perspective you bring to the game! This is only the second time watching your Reactions and I must say that I am impressed! Looking forward to hearing more from you in the future!
Thanks! Hua Chenyu is so talented. Glad you like the videos :)
Loved the reaction..was great..enjoyed your breakdown 👍👍 .. check out his performance of "I Don't Care" from Singer 2018 reminds me of the things you were saying about him...he doesn't care about conforming or being judged... good insight! Thanks Caleb
Ah, Hua Chenyu is amazing! I also really enjoyed your various comments and how it offered insight into his singing. The tai chi movements and the voice definitely seem influenced by Chinese opera, and it's really cool that you picked up on the culture behind that.
If I could give a recommendation for a future reaction, it'd probably be *_Zhou Shen,_* another really amazing singer from China-whose voice might surprise you!
Wow, never seen him before but I really like his sound. Thank you for opening my eyes to some incredible artists 💖
Glad I'm doing that! There are some great artists around the world I'm glad to be finding also :)
He arranged this song in 2 days turning a rap song into a song which mixs 4 genres. ( 48 hours exactly without sleeping) he is a genius 👍👍
awww i need to comment again here !!!
bcos this is exactly what i meant in my other comment today on your other video with him (the one with the "dad" song)
when i said - he is one of the rare ppl i love + know who can capture you, your heart+mind in no time + who can turn a simple gig into a "huge stadion concert sold out" performance and feeling bcos he do how he do and what he do lol 😂 😂
and here, now.. this is not only 1 of my 4-5 Nr1 fav songs.... (yes laugh at me - but there are 4-5 songs and all are on + as #1 listed on my top 10 list bcos i just cant seperate these , they all are to me my #1-favo songs lol)
BUT - you also clearly shown here (what made me think that i have to subscribe after i send this comment lol) you shown and discribed exact the same feeling and thing you hear and see what i did felt too - and im not even a coach or have much a clue about that thing lol 😆
but that what you said + heard here and found it also awesome - is exact what i love about Hua....
he is not only talented + a huge mastermind when its about to arrange songs and make them - without destroying the main thing or the original thing - but make them songs being HIS songs +own these in a very interesting way with so much of passion, creativity and ideas + SURPRISES as well hehe... i just wanted say this here. :P
and PS:
LOL - you are the first one who truly realized in all this "much of things happening on stage with Hua"...
that JESSIE J was there ...!!!! HAHA - yes true its her, she was invited there and been the whole show around and there are more of his performances where she also appears with the others in backround hehe - she ate the most time yummy food - and enjoyed it alot there i guess , haha 😂 😂
Great reaction thanks like your conversation loking to see you soon
Thank you :)
First! So excited!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
