Good news: The Chinese music scene is revived.
The bad news: AI did it.
Recently, AI Sun Yanzi has become popular on the Internet, the so-called AI Sun Yanzi, is the use of artificial intelligence technology, using Sun Yanzi's voice to cover the songs of other singers.
Needless to say, AI Sun Yanzi is indeed a little popular, such as her song "Hair Like Snow", which has been played more than 1.7 million so far.
Good guy, the current AI, even Sun Yanzi's job is going to be robbed?
They all ridicule Sun Yanzi as an unpopular singer, how did the AI come out to imitate Sun Yanzi, but it became a big hit?
Ridily ridicule, the reason why AI Sun Yanzi exploded was still stained with the light of Sun Yanzi herself.
You know, Sun Yanzi is known as a "timbre rogue" (praise), her voice is very recognizable, giving people a cold and stubborn feeling, as soon as she opens her voice, it is enough to conquer the audience.
AI Sun Yanzi clicked and sang, there is output and traffic, will Sun Yanzi herself be laid off the post?
The answer, of course, is: no!
First of all, AI does not have its own style, but only blindly sets templates.
Although AI Sun Yanzi singing songs such as folk songs is okay, can you imagine AI singing "Good Han Song" with Sun Yanzi's voice?
When I heard Sun Yanzi's voice singing "Oh ho ho Yi'er" and "The road is uneven, a roar", I suddenly felt that the world was a little chaotic.
By the way, the AI Sun Yanzi singing "Love Trading" circulating on the Internet also gives people a feeling of love not buying.
Compared with "grabbing life", the current popular AI voice is more used to "live", AI can imitate the timbre, but can not create style like a real singer.
Secondly, AI does not have a singing quotient and cannot imitate the emotions when singing.
Can you imagine a person singing an entire song without gasping? But the current fact is that AI singing has no breath, let alone interpret the "heart-tearing" or "want to talk and rest" in a song.
Some people use AI technology to sing "Grandiose" with Jay Chou's voice, and the result is evaluated as gradually being "taken away", after all, the hysterical emotions that "Grandiography" wants to express are not difficult to interpret by real people.
But why are the songs synthesized by AI technology not original, but still have so many listeners?
Probably because the singers who are covered by AI are doing less and less business.
In addition to some business cooperation, Sun Yanzi's last single was two or three years ago, and Jay Chou also "held back" for several years before releasing the album "The Greatest Work", not to mention Faye Wong, even fans ridiculed her for being a "paid vacation".

The wheel of time rolls forward for decades, and the people who stop at our playlist have not changed much.
Xiaoma still remembers that when he first owned MP3 (such an ancient term), he would choose back and forth among several favorite songs because of insufficient memory, and now he can listen to songs anytime, anywhere, but he can't find any suitable new works over and over again, and finally he chose those familiar singers after going around in circles.
I believe that many people would rather listen to AI cover of previous classic old songs than listen to today's explosive divine comedy.
Even sometimes, a song suddenly becomes popular because of short videos or film and television works, and we will find that it is just a "pearl of the sea" has been discovered, or the old song has become popular again.
I thought it was a new single pop, but I didn't think it was a renaissance.
For example, the popular "Want to See You" in the previous two years made many people re-start with Wu Bai's "Last Dance".
Perhaps, AI Sun Yanzi can become popular, precisely because we miss the youth era that can copy lyrics by hand, the millennium when good songs are constant.
Who is the singer you remember who will never be replaced by AI?
