At the 24th Golden Melody Awards Best Chinese Female Singer A-Lin Award Ceremony, she took out a stack of small notes, which recorded the award-winning words she had prepared in the past, and she said with tears in her laughter:"I've been rehearsing this for 16 years. ”
A-Lin and her mother were overjoyed at the Golden Melody Awards, as A-Lin Huang Liling, who is highly infectious and has a high singing quotient, she is known as the "natural singer" in the Chinese music scene, and she has been shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award five times in the past ten years, but she has never missed the trophy. This time, she finally got her wish. On the stage, while holding the trophy, she looked at the family members who came to support her on the spot, and she was emotional and burst into tears. 
In 2023, A-Lin Huang Liling has finally arrivedHer "highlight reel moment".: Standing on the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023" and rushing all the way to the finals, winning the Golden Melody Award after running five times, and his masterpieces "Best Friend", "Heavenly Love", "There is a Sadness" and other songs continue to become popular on social networks and are covered. 
A-Lin sang "There is a Sadness" on the first stage of "Riding the Wind 2023" Over the years, she has experienced too much: almost being slapped by a guest while singing in a bar, her favorite grandfather passed away, and she was praised"Zhang Huimei** person".But the song is not popular, until now"Late bloomer".。Although it was a long time lateBut her time is really here this time
"It's my favorite job, and I have to finish it."A-Lin was born in 1983 in an Ami tribe in Taitung, where she had the wind of the Pacific Ocean in front of her house, the water of Alishan and the stones of Mulberry Creek behind her house. When A-Lin was a child, her parents were very busy, and her grandfather was her closest family member. As an Ami who can sing and dance, my grandfather sang the ancient Ami tune anytime and anywhere, and sang in the ancient tune after eating: "Eat-rice-la-" When scolding, it is also an ancient tune: "Dirty ghost-no-bath--" and even has its own angry sound. theseThe melodious old tune became A-Lin's original ** enlightenment,After a long time, these fragments of ** still remain in the depths of her memory, accompanying her through the trough of life. 
A-Lin and her family In short, under the influence of her grandfather, Huang Liling fell in love with **, but because of the poverty of her family, she could only turn to her father and ask him to borrow a dilapidated electronic piano from a colleague. Once, when my father was playing the piano, I happened to hear the "clanging" sound of my mother stir-frying with a spatula in the kitchen, so I excitedly asked Huang Liling to pick up the washboard and ask my sister to take the lid of my mother's stir-frying. For a time, the house was filled with the sound of pianos, stir-frying, and the rhythmic percussion of the A-Lin sisters, and it was simply a small "symphony" scene. 
When A-Lin (first from the right) was eight years old with her father, brother and sister, A-Lin, who was full of performance desires, pulled her sisters to sing Madonna's "Like a Virgin".At the age of ten, she learned to play the guitar from her father and wrote an original song for her mother. Although the family was amazed by her ** talent, when the loving father heard Huang Liling say that he wanted to take ** as a career development, he rarely blackened his face. It turned out that A-Lin's grandfather and father were both police officers, and they were looking forward to their children inheriting this profession, but unfortunately his brother's interest was on the computer, and his sister entered the modeling industry early, so Huang Liling became"Hope for the whole family".。In order to make a daughterGo back to the "right path".Father took great pains to often take her to his office, taught her to be familiar with the process of recording confessions and making transcripts, and from time to time brought some brochures from the police academy to his home. However, it backfired, but A-Lin's idea did not waver, and frequent quarrels broke out between father and daughter. 
After the quarrel, Huang Liling went to the beach in front of the house, this is where her grandfather often takes her, the blue sea and blue sky in front of her, and the ebb and flow of the tide in her ears. She often sings to the sea, imagining herself at a concert, and the sound of the waves crashing against the stones is like applauding her. Sometimes when the tide falls, she will shout:"Okay, this time first, I'll conquer you next time!”A long time later, when A-Lin sang a love song on stage, she seemed to return to the seaside of her childhood, rolling up all the stormy waves of feelings, and then wrapping her emotions with her voice, and gradually returning to calm.

A-Lin Huang Liling "I Hear the Sound of Rain" Back in 1998, 15-year-old Huang Liling hid from her family and became a resident singer in several bars in Tainan. The following year, Huang Liling went to the disaster area to teach children to sing the song "Amazing Grace" in Taiwan. amazing grace,hayley westenra
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhenxuan, the agent who later brought her debut, was in the crowd, and after she finished singing, he stepped forward, handed her a business card, and promised to go to her again. It's a pity that the agent was in a hurry, Huang Liling didn't have time to give her **, and his business card lacked key information, and the two lost contact. There was no way, Huang Liling had to continue to return to the bar as a resident singer to polish herself, but more unfortunate things were still to come. One day, a drunk guest suddenly roared at Huang Liling like crazy: "Are you annoying, sing the same song every day."It's ugly, you give it to me!With that, he raised his arm to hit her. Huang Liling was so frightened that she shrank in the corner, and after the boss came forward to comfort the guest, she plucked up the courage to say to the guest: "Sir, I'm sorryThis is my favorite job, I have to finish him, please let me sing it well
This incident brought a lot of shadows to Huang Liling, and soon after, she received a song list, and someone asked her to sing the hymn "Amazing Grace" by name. She looked up ignorant and nervously, only to see a man looking at her with a strange expression, she took a closer look, isn't this the agent who had a relationship and lost contact back then?This moment is the starting point for Huang Liling to truly become A-Lin, soon she will change from a working girl in a bar to become what people say"Zhang Huimei** person".
"Zhang Huimei's ** person" is not popularIn 2003, under the recommendation of her agent Huang Zhenxuan, Huang Liling signed a contract with Ai Hui Records, which had created artists such as Wang Xinling, Xin, Xu Ruoxuan, etc., and started her career as a professional singer and became“a-lin”。The company conducted a comprehensive evaluation of A-Lin's voice, and found that although she had never learned to sing, she was able to soar high notes in a bar all night long with her talent and ability alone, and her voice was not damaged. So the company has high hopes for A-lin, and her vocal training is also quite strict, and when she recorded the album "Innocence of Broken Love", she has been asked by the producer to sing it again, and each sentence must be recorded for at least three or four hours. Lovelorn is not guilty, A-Lin - Foresee Love.
After two full years of training and preparation, in 2006, Huang Liling's first ** "Innocence of Broken Love" was released. To the shock of the company, this **word of mouth as soon as it was released**, and it was soon shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award at the 18th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. During that time, in competitions such as "Super Avenue of Fame" and "Super Idol", many contestants chose Alin's "Innocence of Broken Love" to participate, which shows the high degree of singing. 
People are saying,Tainan has a "natural singer".She has Jolin Tsai's sweet appearance and an infectious and beautiful singing voice like Zhang Huimei。A few months later, A-Lin really received ** from the diva Zhang Huimei and invited her to participate in the second heroine of the ** drama "Falling in Love with Carmen", which won for A-Lin"Zhang Huimei** person".The title. In the years that followed, A-Lin**'s career was very smooth, and her personal life was smooth and happy.
Huang Liling's family of three in 08 years, A-Lin, who returned to the music scene after giving birth to a daughter, successively launched "Natural Singer", "Before, Later", "Lonely and Painless", "We Will Be Better", etc., were shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award three times, and held five solo concerts in a row. Loneliness doesn't hurt, A-Lin - Loneliness Doesn't Hurt (Golden Melody Shine Audio-Visual Collector's Plate).
It is worth mentioning that A-Lin, who originally only had one concert in Hong Kong, was sold out due to a rush for tickets and a temporary addition. At the end of the second performance, after Alin gave the fans an encore, the fans were overwhelmed and continued to shout“encore”, looking forward to her return. At this time, the average singer will not appear again, after all, the band has already left the stage to rest, but A-Lin "has the strength to pet the fan", and returned to the stage alone, holding the microphone and singing for everyone to listen to. launched ** and started a solo performance, A-Lin was not satisfied, and she began to try different genres. Launched in 2014, "Guilt" **Alin tried ballad, rock, soul, funk, electronic rock, dance music and other genres, and won unanimous praise in the industry. Not only that, but she also tried to write her own songs. The single "Sense of Balance", which is also included in the album "Guilt", is from A-Lin. A sense of balance, a-lin - guilt.
This one"The Comedy of the Lesser Gods".It vividly shows A-Lin's creative strength, and the soft tune of the main song is complemented by A-Lin's tactful ventilation and seamless true and false sounds, which is refreshingThe chorus's catchy melody and effortless transposition make it feel like a tightrope walk. In the comment area of this song, many fans commented in surprise: ".I didn't expect A-Lin's own songs to be so goodIt's the first place in the whole ** in my mind!”
In addition to this,A-Lin's creative style is also varied: In addition to the lyrical songs such as "Sea of Light", the early "New Self" and "1828" all have a rock style, and "Hold Tight" is a classic R&B, and there are dance music, etc., you can feel herCreative talent without limitsSea of Light, a-lin - a-lin of the same name**.
One of the songs that impressed me was "Whatever You Meet" by A-Lin and lyricist Lee Cheuk-woong, which she wrote for her own journey of touring around the world over the yearsThe melody of joy collides with the lyrical soul, full of sincerityWhatever you want, a-lin - whatever you want.
The later creation of "Spin to the Heart's Content" is a more typical songLin-style originalThe song is like gurgling water, full of a sense of eloquent tellingSpin as much as you want, A-Lin - Spin your heart's content.
It can be said that A-Lin's creative ability is completely overshadowed by her singing prowessThe world only knows the "natural singer" A-lin, but few people know the creator & producer Huang Liling. However, despite A-Lin's great singing and creative talent, she is in an awkward position because of her introverted and unexpressive personality. - Many people have only heard her name and songs, but have never really known her, A-Lin for many yearshas produced countless golden songs, but it has always been tepid, fame is limited to Taiwan. Perhaps because of this, one day in 2013, when A-Lin just finished the Little Arena concert, the owner disbanded without warning, so that A-Lin's record contract was terminated.
In an instant, A-Lin's life fell into a low point, than the confusion about the road ahead, she felt more confused and helpless, worried that she was not likable enough, worried about the loss of fans and records, and overthought for a while, suffering from shingles.
She is a singera-linWith the interruption of her career and illness, A-Lin was overwhelmed by the blow she chose to return to her hometown. Those late nights when she couldn't sleep tossing and turning, she would think of her grandfather who loved her the most. That year, Huang Liling sang late in the bar, and the next day everyone else was in morning class, she was still hiding in the dormitory to sleep, and her father was very angry and had a cold war with her for a month. It's inShe was so depressed that when she wanted to give up singing, her grandfather became seriously ill. She rushed to her grandfather's hospital bed and found that the bedridden old man had lost his mind and could not even recognize his family. In desperation, Huang Liling could only hold her grandfather's hand and sing the ancient Ami ballad that her grandfather had taught her. A miracle happened, grandpa's eyes gradually became clear, he gently held her hand and told her:"I know you love to sing, I'm leaving, you have to keep singing. I will bless you above. ”Later, Huang Liling wrote a song called "Coming Home". "Gradually, I began to forget, the original dream, when I was enthusiastic and active, riding the wind in the sea, making countless dreams, only hoping to grow up quickly. When will it take me home again. ”There are a few ancient Ami tunes in the songSinging about her childhood and the sea
Recalling that after her grandfather A-Lin came home in tears, she frantically looped her "Before and After"** hid in the toilet to make up and flush the shower, until all the makeup on her face was spent.
"I think it's funny to see myself ugly in the mirror. Life is like this, indulge your emotions and then face things. ”She laughed and said that these slightly neurotic funny actions in bad days had relieved her boredom. Fortunately, this return to her hometown also led to a reconciliation between A-Lin and her father. One day, A-Lin came home from outside, but unexpectedly found that her father was wearing reading glasses, clumsily operating his mobile phone, and repeatedly ** her music video and concert. At that moment, she didn't speak, but warm tears swirled in her eyes.
She used to be a resident singer in a bar, and her father quarreled with her and had a cold war;
Later, she became famous when she debuted, and invited her father to her press conference, but was rejected;However, when she came out of the trough and appeared on stage for a small birthday party, under the dim stage, she saw a hand with a very black back and a very white palm, giving her a thumbs up from afar. She recognized him at a glance, and then choked up and sang hard.
With the encouragement of her family, A-Lin finally continued to return to the stage, in 14 years, she signed a contract with Sony**, and in 15 years, she appeared on Hunan Satellite TV's "I Am a Singer" program. This time, it's A-Lin's "turnaround battle".。As soon as she opened her mouth in the first performance, her delicate emotional investment and her warm, mellow, slightly rustling voice pushed the audience's sadness to a climax.

A-Lin Huang Liling's "Give Me a Reason to Forget" Later, in some analyses of A-Lin's singing skills**, many people commented on her as "a perfect timbre". But in fact, A-Lin's timbre is not very typical of scarcity, and it belongs to the thick female voice in the conventional sense. However,Deep chest resonance, perfect control and delicacy, cathartic emotional output,It's really immersive, and it's unforgettable.

A-Lin's version of "I'll Wait for the Flowers to Thank You" However, unlike its singers who are known for their delicate singing, A-Lin's vocalization does not rely entirely on the high position brought by the head cavity. Singers like Zhou Shen, Zhang Shaohan, and Huang Ling with bright and penetrating voices generally have a strong vocal ability, just like a larkSimilar to desserts；A-Lin, on the other hand, opted for a less well-received, dull toneLike a cup of bitter tea。After all, bitter tea is more mellow the more you taste, and this is also an absolute field that A-Lin, who loves to sing bitter love songs, is good at. All in all, the heavy is not depressed, the abundant is not discolored, the highlight is not lacking, in the melody of depression and frustrationShe seems to be dissolved in the blood of emotional processing, every sentence is like crying and complaining. Being able to hit people's hearts and tell them eloquently is all A-Lin's sound magic.
Of course, not everyone likes this kind of dark timbre, and some people have questioned her singing style for being too old-fashioned and confined to bitter love songs. But as A-Lin himself said:"It's a good thing to be able to sing every song as a 'lin-style love song'. That's my optimism, too. ”**Producer Huang Guolun also commented:Whether it's a mouthful of outpouring or a heart-rending cry, her skill and emotion are impeccable. ”She considered every word and sentence with great care, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it became a lore.
"No matter how tall or short, fat or thin, I love to sing, I am all me".In the "Singer" program that year, A-Lin won the runner-up in a single issue four times and entered the top seven finals of the show, which is already a pretty good result, after all, the third season has singers such as Han Hong , Zhang Liangying and other singers joining, which can be called a "fairy fight".
After the show, her Weibo followers increased from 200,000 to 2.4 million, and invitations to performances poured in, and popular music comprehensives such as "Golden Melody Fishing", "Praise for the Song", and "Endless Sound" all threw olive branches to her.
A-Lin's career has finally taken off, and although it is many years late, she really deserves it.

A-Lin's "Best Friends" MV
As for why "song celebrities are not popular" after debuting for many years, in the final analysis, it may be inseparable from her gentle personality.
In the entertainment industry, many celebrities have made a name for themselves with scandals and hot topics, and A-Lin is one of them.
Compared with other artists who are big and good at expressing themselves, she seemsExtraordinarily shy, introverted, sincere but slow to treat others, and even a little "silly".
Even when I'm with other artists, I can't be enthusiastic, because I'm more sensitive and I'm afraid that the other party's response will be too cold," A-Lin said shyly facing the camera.
It is also because of such a character that she is not good at fighting for herself, and she inadvertently misses a lot of very good opportunities.
The "Riding the Wind and Waves" program team invited her three times, but every time she had concerns in her heart, afraid that her performance would be too poor.
It turned out that she had tried to sing fast songs long before her debut, when she went into the studio to sing and dance, and soon finished recording a Britney Britney song "toxic".
However, when she walked out of the studio with confidence, her agent told her:"A-lin, you sing really well, but why do you sing fast songs I still want to cry. ”
Since then,Bitter love songs have become a label that she can't take off, she didn't even dare to perform fast songs, for fear that she would sing indecently.
Because of this, when her name appeared on the program list of "Riding the Wind 2023", the first reaction of fans was to post "refute rumors" for herhated iron and said that her personality was too "cowardly", and she "didn't dare to be assertive" at all.
Fans posted grievances for A-Lin.
But even the fans who know her didn't expect that in 2023, A-Lin bravely stepped onto the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023" in order to challenge herself.
In an interview, she said: ".I don't want to be a tearjerker who only sings love songs anymoreThis time, I'm going to try 'singing and dancing.'"
A-Lin was so eager to break through, so in the first performance, she gladly accepted Xie Na's invitation to join the performance of the singing and dancing track "Dragon Fist".
Although the performance of A-Lin was a little restrained, and although the show was controversial after it was broadcast, the efforts of the sisters were still obvious to all, and A-Lin herself lost more than 10 pounds during the rehearsal.
A-Lin performs "Dragon Fist" in the first performance of "Riding the Wind 2023".
In the next performance of "A Thousand Miles", A-Lin's excellent performance scored crazy points for the team:
A-Lin is worthy of being a natural singer, quite a general, relaxed and calm, with the demeanor of a matriarchal tribal authority in her gestures, confident and charming.
Although A-Lin's efforts are obvious to all, she still received some negative reviews after the show aired.
Some people say that she "has become black and fat, and she is like two people during the period of "I Am a Singer", and some people say that she "offended the stylist, just like Mei Chaofeng".
In the past, she was sensitive in her heart, and in the face of these sharp remarks, she would only face them with silence and tears, silently hiding in the corner and licking her wounds.
So after seeing those bad reviews on the Internet, fans sweated for her, for fear that she would be hurt again because of these.
However,After the New Year, she is no longer the girl who will only swallow her grievances into her stomach
At the 34th Golden Melody Awards ceremony, A-Lin stood up with tears in her eyes and said something for herself:
"If I didn't move myself, I wouldn't sing a good song, no matter what, no matter how tall or short, fat or thin, I am who I am!”
At this moment, the parents, mothers and daughters who rushed to the scene were cheering for her, and they knew how much pressure the introverted and honest A-Lin had endured behind this acceptance speech in exchange for more than ten years of perseverance.
Character determines fate, she may never throw out a stalk production topic like "Thai cool and spicy" on the stage, nor will she have all kinds of lace news hype, let alone soar high notes, and show off her singing skills uncontrollably.
However, whether it is accompanied by a runner or a singer, A-Lin finally proved to the world with his strengthShe has always been the brightest natural singer in every fan's heart
From Huang Liling to A-Lin, from a "working girl" to a "Golden Melody Award winner", let's bless this one together"Best Chinese Female Singer".Keep shining on the stage!
May you still dream, continue to dream, and always have faith in love.
