The 2023 "The Voice" mentor lineup was officially announced, the four mentors are Zhou Huajian, Xue Zhiqian, Pan Weibai, Liu Xianhua, all of them are new mentors, only Xue Zhiqian is slightly different, because he has a certain relationship with "The Voice".
Anyone who follows "The Voice" knows that Xue Zhiqian came to "The Voice" as early as seven years ago and served as the captain of the fifth team (resurrection team). It took him seven years to rise from captain of the repechage team to official mentor, and the difficulties can be imagined.
Seven years ago, with Xue Zhiqian's coffee position, he was definitely not qualified to be the mentor of "The Voice". And now, he is naturally qualified. But Liu Xianhua, one of the four mentors this year, made netizens very dissatisfied, how could he become the mentor of "The Voice"? Liu Xianhua is not even as good as Xue Zhiqian seven years ago, and now he is inexplicably a mentor of "The Voice", isn't it funny?
Liu Xianhua's fans will definitely disagree, saying how powerful their family Dahua is, how talented Berkeley graduates, how internationally it is, and being a mentor of "The Voice" is not more than enough.
How Liu Xianhua compares with Xue Zhiqian seven years ago, we can analyze it.
First, compare national degrees. Whether Xue Zhiqian was seven years ago or now, the national popularity is very high, speaking of Xue Zhiqian, not to mention that people of all ages know each other, at least the four generations from the 70s to the 00s, most of them have heard Xue Zhiqian's name. And Liu Xianhua, many people don't know him at all. As for international popularity, it is okay to deceive yourself, China's popularity has not been opened, what to talk about international popularity.
Second, compare creations and works. Both are singer-songwriters, and Xue Zhiqian has created well-known songs such as "Serious Snow", "Actor" and "Ugly Eight Monsters", and it is obvious that he has masterpieces. As for Liu Xianhua, many people don't know what songs he sang, and the masterpieces out of the circle have never been heard, and the creation and works are definitely not as good as Xue Zhiqian.
Third, compare singing skills. As a singer, singing skills cannot be ignored. Xue Zhiqian's singing skills are not superior, it should be said that they are very average, and they really do not have an advantage in this regard. I specially searched for a few videos of Liu Xianhua singing, which should be stronger than Xue Zhiqian. However, singing skills are very important for some singers, such as pure singers like Zhou Shen, Zhang Bichen, and Zhang Liangying, then they can only rely on singing skills to eat. But for some singers, especially singer-songwriters, it seems to be less important, such as Jay Chou.
Through some comparison, it can be seen that the current Liu Xianhua is not even as good as Xue Zhiqian seven years ago, so is he really qualified to be the mentor of "The Voice"? Clearly not enough.
Knowing that Liu Xianhua is not qualified enough, knowing that finding him to be a mentor will cause huge controversy, why did "The Voice" invite Liu Xianhua to be a mentor? It can only be said that the current "The Voice" has long since fallen. used to be a mentor of the level of Liu Huan, Jay Chou, and Wang Feng, and in recent years, it has been the level of Li Ronghao, Li Yuchun, and Li Keqin, and now there is an inexplicable Liu Xianhua, is this show still saved?
