The 32nd Golden Melody Awards Ceremony will debut on August 21, this time the list is opened, with Lin Junjie, Slender, Wei Li'an, Tian Fuzhen, Su Huilun, Wan Fang and other all-round list, as the award day approaches, "Yahoo! Celebrity Entertainment" also interviewed senior music critic Dai Ju, asking him to predict the winning list, "I think that after the Chinese song Wan Fang has a great chance of qualifying, the Chinese singer king is one of the thin and Wei Lian."
Spreading out this year's shortlist, Dai Ju said that the market and the creative side have been selected, many finalists have both, Wan Fang, Tian Fuzhen, Su Huilun although the creation is relatively small, but you can see their works, the singer's personality and will are clearly displayed, "even if they are not involved in the creation, but also feel that they have a high degree of participation from the beginning of the song, the intention is very clear, want to clearly express their music."
In the spread list, Chinese male and female singers each have a representative of the Chinese mainland, and they were asked whether it was a guarantee of quotas? But he doesn't think so, "Li Quan and Tan Weiwei are both first-line singers in China, and these two works are also very groundbreaking, which can be said to be the masterpieces of their singer careers." As for the pearl in his heart, he threw out linion and Lu Shixuan, two male singers with their own style, "If you can issue it this year, maybe the competition will not be so fierce."
In the mind of the Chinese female singer, Dai Ju awarded to Wan Fang, "In this epidemic era, Wan Fang's "To You" album, although the arrangement is experimental, it will not feel very obscure, the title also includes life, old age, illness and death, spiritual growth, "Ah Feng did not come today" has deep meaning and sense of companionship, especially in this era, this song is also my annual lyrics."
As for Tian Fuzhen, who is optimistic from all walks of life, he believes: "The album production is greater than the state of the artist itself, and the degree of appreciation and completion is also very high, and it has successfully found a balance between business and artistry, but if the Chinese female singer award is taken, Wan Fang is more three-dimensional, and Tian Fuzhen's "Nobody Knows" album is more likely to win the Chinese Album Award."
Chinese male singer Dai Ju feels that the probability of E.SO thin man is more likely to be out of line, "his works are more popular, can keep up with the context of the times, while communicating with the younger generation, although the singing is rap, but the song is very sincere", but he also believes that Wei Lian and the thin man should be equally divided between Bo Zhong this time.
The Best Composer Award, Dai Ju was optimistic about telling the five people "Lost You in the City", he said: "This song is one of the best works of the five people after "Miss You with the Stars and The Moon", elegant and popular, melodic and brainwashed HOOK, it is no problem to win the best composer." Newcomers, he thinks it will be awarded to Yellow Xuan, because the real musicality is too strong, the only criticism is that there are 6 songs on the album that have been exposed in the previous EP.
In addition, he also pointed out that Cao Yawen's "Self-Ben" album is very powerful, "a bit like last year's A Bang "Mother's Tongue", although not In Chinese, but the listening, the meaning of the times are quite enough, plus the content of the album contains gay issues, suicide issues, etc., maybe some people can't understand Taiwanese words, but the musicality and sensitivity are not weakened because of the language barrier", quite optimistic that Cao Yawen can win the Taiwanese album and the annual album award.
