Welcome to Zhou Shen's family. FYI, all of Zhou Shen's performances have not been autotuned whatsoever and he always sings with a full open mic which not so many artists will do nowadays because of their abilities. By the way, you only listen to 1% of Zhou Shen's talents based on this video.
He can sing at least 12 different languages which included Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Russian, Ukraine, Polish, Japanese, Hindi, French, Italian, Thai, Spanish, He can even sing 6 different voices in one song. His music has so many different genres.
To tell you a bit about Zhou Shen's background. He is from China. He got bullied when he was young just because his voice didn't change when puberty came but that was not his choice and people called him names like a sissy or he sounded like a woman because of that he didn't sing in front of people for a long time and he even tried to tone down his voice when he speaks. It takes a long time for him to accept his own voice again and gets where he is now all around the world.
He studied Dentistry in Ukraine when he was young but because of the language barriers, he changed to study Classical music there instead. His goal is to combine Classical and Pop music to introduce them to those who didn't know what Classical music is. His vocal range is extremely wide and his breath control is extremely good. He is a polite, funny, and humble guy.
If you are willing to dig into his performances, you will be amazed by his talents. A lot of music can heal people's bodies but not many can heal people, 's, souls. Zhou Shen's music is one of them that can heal your soul. Even with his high note, it will not hurt your ears, unlike so many artists out there. Thank you again for reacting to Zhou Shen's performance.

That was Zhou Shen 's first appearance on stage back in 2014 when he was 21 years old while studying Bel Canto at Lviv National Musical Academy in Ukraine (graduated in 2016).He wasn't systematically trained, that is his natural tone. It took alot of courage for him to come (producer's third attempt after hearing him on Bilibili) He was ridiculed when younger as his voice didn't change during puberty . Also just before he sang this song on this program he heard someone said that with his look can he sing? Even during the first few years of his career he still suffered as people say that his voice and looks isn't deem mainstream ; but he proved everyone were wrong with his hard work and perseverance because singing is his passion.

He did not go far in the competition but after some years now he is the superstar in China. You are only seeing the tip of the iceberg lol

[susanhughes]

[crazycat]

多謝係react 周深，他的歌聲能冶愈人的心靈👍他2014 年參賽唱的就是這歌，有空可多react 周深❤thanks

[solweigbalzer]

Zhou is pronounced like “joe”. This performance was one of his earliest. His voice keeps getting better and he isn’t afraid to sing virtually any style of music. You have to check out his other live performances- you won’t be disappointed!

[xunningyue]

I believe that all other judges were waiting for the elder one to turn first and finally he did as the first judge to turn. They did so because the song Zhou Shen was singing was actually originally sung by the elder judge's sister, who was also a legendary singer in China several decades ago. I think he was struggled at the beginning since everybody knew that song and his sister. He made his turn only after he confirmed more details from Zhou's singing.

His first stage appearance truly talented ! Super star in China now !

[cclrk]

Thank you for reacting to Zhou Shen's Huan Yan. This was his first performance on TV some 8 years ago. Thoughout these years, he has been working very, very hard emerging to become one of the (if not "the") most popular Singer/Artist. His skills and techniques have been improving. 42 new songs and more than a hundred performances this year alone. Out of which many have taken up Top Spot/s in Hit Charts in China, Malaysia and Taiwan. Continue to dig out more of his great performances (hundreds of them) in different genres and classes. Enjoy the journey ahead.

You have a gold/diamond mine - hope you react and listen to as many of his songs as you can for all are beautiful - he has become even more phenominal. When singing duets he adjusts to the other singer and does not drown them out, he manages to showcase both voices through the song.

第一個轉身的老師是這首歌曲原唱者的親弟弟！

周深能讓原唱的親弟弟轉身表示認同真的不簡單！
這是2014的演唱，時至今日他已不可同日而語！
每次的演出都讓人充滿期待，也從不讓人失望！

Thank you for your reaction to Zhoushen🥰You may like his song“Dalabengba”, which shows an interesting way to perform a song. Here is the link~Hope you enjoy it.

[kenong]

this show it's quite some years d. the first judge turns it's because the song was his sister's song and no one had done that song as it's not easy to sing. he did not win the competition as he was out during the battle between team member, he was not chosen. But now he's very famous in china, a lot of variety shows have him. the silky smooth of his voice is so angelic, there are many songs that he covered in variety shows that you should definitely must check them out,
1) Time to Say Goodbye
2) Memory (CATS)
3) Monsters
4) Dalabengba
5) Paradise Island Song
The list can go on and on and on... im sure other Zhou Shen fans will definitely recommend you more songs to react to. So glad that you found this rare treasure. Im looking forward to more zhou shen reactions.

The name of this terrific singer is Zhou Shen, pronounced JOE shun. He is fabulous! This was his debut performance (in front of the camera) at the 2014 The Voice in China show. He was 22 years old. The first man (in the white tee shirt) who sat up, Chyi Chin, is the younger brother of the original singer, Chyi Yu, a female. Zhou Shen, also called Charlie Zhou, was a competitor at the 2018 singing competition Supervocal, with 36, yes 36 male singers, ages 18-38, the 2019 singing competition called Chinese Idol Our Song, and 2020 Singer. Dynamite! Enjoy!
