New vs Old - 4 Classics OP & Insert Songs

( Comparing covers to the original - 四大名著 style )

So, I have to say, 周深 comes closest to the original (in terms of technical capabilities), but in the case of 《枉凝眉》 and 《滚滚长江东逝水》, the original kind of smacks down the younger generation on technique alone. In the case of 《女儿情》, 周深 didn't get a fair shake due to not having a professionally recorded version, but even with professional stage performance, it's gonna be tough to beat the original. For 《好汉歌》, I think the newer versions do have their merits and the technical capabilities are much closer.

Basically, I'm impressed at how many different styles 周深 managed to produce with great effect, which really speaks to his range.

But also the originals are like...(T_T) So good. So. So good. The technique is insane.
