欢迎收听第二季的“敏彻斯特评论”广播节目！今天这期，我来讲讲喜爱的歌手路易•汤姆林森（Louis Tomlinson）的故事。我将用五首歌曲，带你了解丝丝（昵称，虽然s不发音）从一名One Direction的乐队成员成长为一名优秀的solo歌手的历程。开头是我关于“粉丝如何讲述偶像故事”的一些思索，介绍丝丝从04:15开始。Hiiii Welcome to Season 2 of the Minchester Review! I'm very happy to introduce you to one of my favorite singers Louis Tomlinson. Through five tracks, I talk about his music and life.00:05 'Defenseless' - Early this Feb, this track single from Louis's debut Album WALLS was promoted by fans to reach No.1 on iTunes Worldwide Chart, one year after its release.08:40 'Strong' by One Direction – Louis is a co-writer of this one and he has written over 1/3 of 1D songs; Strong is one of my fav :)12:52 'Back To You' by Louis and Bebe Rexha – Fans see this duet a metaphor of Louis's not-always-smooth relationship with his label; highly recommend this MV! A duet that refuses to sexualize females.15:25 'Two of Us' – a song Louis dedicates to his late mother Jay.20:56 'Kill My Mind' – a Louis's favorite (and mine!) that tells much about his music inspirations (Oasis, Arctic Monkey etc) Before I start talking about Louis (from 04:15), I go through a question list that I've been thinking about lately: how do we (fans) tell the story of an artist that we like? How do we prove our point that (s)he is excellent/brave/inspirational? Where do we draw the line between their professional achievements and what happen to their personal life? How do we decipher the agenda of media coverage while relying on them as our limited sources? How do we find truth; how do we share passion; how do we talk about love?I guess that's the point of writing and talking about things on podcast; it is this process that requires me not just to collect 'evidences', to prove a point, but also to examine this process itself.I hope you like this episode; do check Louis's music!! xx
