#Chinese Music Scene##Tao Zhe##Wang Lihong##周杰伦 #
Note: This article was written by me in 2007, and now it seems that I can't help but be ashamed, and now that I have a haircut, Bo Jun is smiling.
When I want to write something today, when I think about the talents of the Chinese music scene, I have to mention these three names: Tao Zhe, Wang Lihong and Jay Chou.
First of all, the musical style, this is not easy to say, Tao Zhe involved in the genre of R&B, rock, blues, jazz, folk, hip hop and rap, etc., although it is named the godfather of R&B, but he emphasizes that he is not only focused on R&B (Note: Tao Zhe's third album title song "Black Liuding" belongs to the category of heavy metal music) Wang Lihong's early more diverse, medium-term hip hop a little, now CHINAD-OUT I personally appreciate, Jay Chou's music is very personalized, fast rap, vague pronunciation, has become the target of some people's attack, but also attracted a large number of fans. His style is also diverse, while containing a unique personal style.
Tao Zhe
Speaking of the type of music, Tao Zhe's songs can give people strength and urge people to forge ahead, because his songs do not only stay in talking about love, for life ("RUN AWAY"), for society ("DEAR GOD", "Ghost", "Different"), for war ("Sun Tzu's Art of War"), for the self ("Black Liuding", "Find Yourself") have a deep analysis and understanding, about the love type of songs that everyone is more familiar with may be "Love is Very Simple", "MELODY", " Just love you", "too beautiful" and "Today you are going to marry me" and so on, but in fact, there are many very good works that are not well known to the public (I personally appreciate his "Butterfly", a very powerful song); most of Wang Lihong's songs are expressing personal emotions, there are joys and sorrows, telling you about it, such as "Rotation", "The Only", "CAN YOU FEEL MY WORLD", "A Simple Song", etc.; Jay Chou's songs are still those two words - personality, " Love before the Epoch", "Double Stick", "Ninja", "Fort William", "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", etc. are very unique, lyrical songs are also very good, and there are also some songs that focus on life, family, and war, such as "Snail" (this seems to be a cover song), "Dad, I'm Back", "Listen to Mom", "The Last Battle" and so on.
Wang
Basically, I listened to Jay Chou first, then to Wang Lihong, and finally to Tao Zhe, which was exactly the opposite of the title. Probably when I was in junior high school, one of my playmates (in elementary school, Khan) introduced me to some of Jay Chou's songs ("Half Orc", "Dragon Fist"), and then I listened to some of his tapes myself, some of Jay Chou's songs had a slightly decadent tendency, and as a result, I was also affected by some, probably after "Qilixiang", I paid less attention to him, mainly I liked his previous style a little more; Wang Lihong, from the second or third grade of junior high school, was the album "Sun and Moon in the Heart", A very good album, the later "Hero of the World" is also very good, as for the latest album "Change Yourself" now, I feel a little disappointed, just like Tao Zhe's "Too Beautiful", and Jay Chou also typed the words that are still there, which is really not very satisfactory. Tao Zhe is from the third year of junior high school to listen, at that time is the "Taiping Shengshi" album, is also a very good album, Tao Zhe's strength is not generally strong, and the requirements for music are very high, only a few years to produce an album, the so-called slow work out of the fine work, Tao Zhe's music to win with quality, unlike some singers out of the film fast, shoddy, the quality of the song is really not flattering, some singers' FANS only a year can not wait for the album to come out, they are anxious to know what to call, then as Tao Zhe's fans what to do?
Jay
About some comparisons between them and other things, such as talent, singing, some boring people even compared to gossip (Khan), these are more talked about, everyone loves to listen. So here, I will also say a few words, first state, the following is purely personal views, if there is any objection, welcome to exchange, refuse unreasonable insults. Talent this well, it is really not good to say, can only say - very talented! (Officer: Isn't that bullshit!) )) Sorry, sorry, very flattering answer. Then there is singing, this is nothing to say, Tao Zhe's strongest, friends with doubts can listen to his "No Love", "Heart Flying", "Ordinary Friends", and then Wang Lihong, Jay Chou's singing skills are indeed not very good, rational Lun fans should also be very clear. Appearance, Wang Lihong; in terms of musical instruments, Tao Zhe and Wang Lihong are very versatile, and Jay Chou is the piano that flaunts his best skills. In fact, the age of the audience of three people is rising sequentially. In addition, a person likes Jay Chou, but has no feelings for Tao Zhe, and likes Wang Lihong at the same time like Tao Zhe, it can be said that the music of the latter two is relatively close, are more European and American (both are Chinese-American bar), so there may be some commonalities in music. There are more star chasers who like Jay Chou, most of them like Tao Zhe are very rational, and Wang Lihong has both. On the words of influence, or Jay Chou's biggest, this is a fact, must be admitted.
I often encounter someone saying: "Hey, Jay Chou, very red, very personality, talent!" Others said, "Wang Lihong, so handsome, the song is also very good." "But when it comes to Tao Zhe, some people may not know, but when it comes to "Love Is Simple", "Find Yourself", "MELODY" and now "Today You Want to Marry Me", it will make an Oh sound, which is also a fact, no way, I often encounter this kind of thing around me, of course, now it is better. From the beginning of the play of Chinese style, to the current development of the film industry, the vision of the three people seems to be amazingly consistent, until now, Jay Chou's film has come out, personally after watching it is still good, Wang Lihong also starred in Ang Lee's latest movie "Color, Ring", and Tao Zhe's personal film is also about to be filmed. I hope that the three of them have a good performance in the film industry, and I also hope that their future albums can bring everyone a refreshing feeling!
Huh--All at once said so much, it's really tiring, well, let's talk about it.
