Character evaluation

Although Gu Yazhen is often said to look like Liu Xuan in her life, she is also known as "xiaoleijia" because of her solid foundation in Bel Canto and her sweet temperament. In Guangzhou gas station for the final of "flowers blossoming", Gu Yazhen showed her pure and lovely temperament in a pink gauze skirt. When she changed into a pure white gauze skirt and appeared on the stage with long curly hair, she was just like a doll. She played the song "miss home" gracefully, making the scene present a warm atmosphere (Netease, Sina review).

Gu can not only sing popular songs, but also perform folk songs, operas, operas and original ecological songs. Gu Yazhen is so cute that she always suffers from people's "cute" positioning because of her good singing skills. As a result, the songs selected in each competition are all sweet and lovely songs of little girls, which makes people's impression of her only stay on the appearance. Although most of Gu Yazhen's songs since she took part in the competition are simple and lovely, it doesn't mean that she has no singing skills. Gu Yazhen is a powerful singer. Unfortunately, she is trapped by her lovely appearance. Every time she takes part in the competition, she is always regarded as a lovely player by the judges and the audience, and her singing skills are ignored (Sohu review).

Gu Yazhen is a sweet and hot lady. She is very unruly when she opens her mouth. She not only has a good voice, but also has a good acting skill. Gu Yazhen is beautiful and young. When she participated in the 2009 "happy girl", although she was not outstanding in the audition, she was able to make a breakthrough in the national top 300 breakthrough competition. Gu Yazhen's sound quality is quite good. When she sings the song "Mr. Lonely", she has deep feelings and sings very well. Although she can record the sound repeatedly, it's really difficult to sing almost zero defects on the spot. Gu Yazhen has done it (Zhongshi electronic daily, HouXian, Chengdu Business Daily, Guangzhou Daily, Lin Junyi, Huang Xiaosheng) Yunling).
