王菲睽違七年再現央視春晚，唱出《世界贈予我的》，旋律其實沒有太大起伏，若這首歌落在其他女歌手演繹，要不過火、要不沉悶，我很主觀地認為，只有王菲才唱得出那種空靈通透。 歌詞其實非常有意思，我尤其喜歡這幾句：「世界贈予我蟲鳴，也贈予我雷霆；贈我彎彎一枚月，也贈予我晚星；贈我一場病，又慢慢痊癒搖風鈴；贈我一場空，又漸漸填滿真感情；世界贈予我擁有，也贈予我回敬；贈我小小一扇窗，也贈予我屋頂；贈我一個名，又漸漸長大的年齡；贈我一首詩，又悄悄讀得很安靜。」要對人生有點沉澱，才能悟出這一種「透」。 當日，王菲穿了一襲簡約的白裙，相信只有她才會在農曆新年日子（夠膽）選擇一身素白現身春晚。白裙是她鍾愛了三十年的Titi Kwan設計，紅色大耳環是丹麥品牌Monies，頭髮all back紮在後面，簡約而清爽，大家近年看得多大紅大綠大花大閃，她這樣的新春look出場，產生了一種反差的效果，灑脫亮麗；氣氛突然從煩囂變成寧靜，令人想靜靜地看她站在台上淡定地慢慢唱出她的一字一句。 但非常「amusing」的一件事發生在表演後——王菲表演完畢，內地網購平台瞬即有商家售賣她演出時的紅色大耳環（當然是A貨），以「王菲春晚同款蝦片耳環」為題，價錢由十幾元到幾十元人民幣不等。我看了禁不住失笑，好端端Monies設計，卻變成了山寨「蝦片」耳環，誰會訂購呢？但竟然有不少人搶購，相信不久將來，會在街上看到不少「蝦片」搖搖晃晃。 但其實，王菲之所以王菲，就是她有個人很獨特的風格，從不跟風，所以有些人想模仿王菲品味，永遠模仿不到，因為要「模仿」，成件事根本就不「王菲」了。時尚這東西，第一個穿戴的，是「品味」和「風格」，但第二個跟着模仿的，就真的只能淪為「蝦片」了，而且行出來還要個個都知道是山寨A貨，肉酸死。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
