The Phoenix Legend concert is in full swing, and people can't help but sigh, they are so amazing!
More than ten years ago, the singer circle was prosperous and full of talents.
They have accompanied a generation and left countless good memories at an age of wanton flying.
Watching the Chinese music scene become more and more lonely, do you remember some of the early singers?
Inventory of singers who don't mix well, some die young, some are sentenced, and some go to the mall......
1 Pang Long
"I am entangled with you, flying, flying over this red dust, and ...... with you forever"
The familiar rhythm suddenly sounded in my ears, and I couldn't help but sing along.
The song "Two Butterflies" made Pang Long the hottest and most popular singer at that time.
The song won the China Golden Record Award.
Pang Long has appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala 4 times with this song.
After that, Pang Long continued to create, and successively released the songs "You Are My Rose", "Home in the Northeast" and "Cheers Friends".
These songs have also achieved good results, and "You Are My Rose" is not inferior to "Two Butterflies", which is extremely popular and played.
In the next two years, Pang Long was very busy, and he made a lot of money by constantly inviting and performing one after another.
The scenery is for a while.
But when people are on fire, they are easy to float.
At that time, he and Andy Lau were both holding concerts in Beijing at the same time, and in the face of an interview with reporters, Pang Long actually said: "I am different from Andy Lau, I went to a conservatory, and he has no ......"
For a while, the storm surged, and the reporter even seized this hot spot and wantonly publicized.
The phrase "Pang Long has floated" constantly appears in people's daily conversations.
Andy Lau's concert was very lively.
On the other hand, because of Pang Long's arrogant language, fans have lost their fans, and coupled with his notoriety, there are not many people in the audience.
Since then, his career has plummeted.
A few years later, he struggled to release several more albums, but none of them made much noise.
In the end, he gradually faded out of people's sight and chose to teach at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, and lived a happy life with his family.
2 Zheng Yuan
You must have heard Zheng Yuan's songs, "Ten Thousand Reasons" and "Don't Say You Love Me When You're Lonely" are all his songs.
The "Prince of Love Songs" of internal entertainment was a big hit at the beginning.
Born into a musical family, he also chose the path of music.
When he was a child, he participated in various music competitions and won many trophies.
In 2005, "10,000 Reasons" was released, and the number of playbacks reached 120 million, breaking the historical record of CRBT.
In 2010, the album "Tolerance" won the first prize and the best popularity award in the Top Ten Singers of the Entertainment Golden Bottle.
This string of fame has made many people pay attention to this talented man, who was appointed as a professor at the Beijing Opera Vocational Art Academy in 2011.
But with the change of times, melancholy, dull love songs have become unpopular with the public, and young people have begun to like hip-hop songs.
But he was stubborn and said on Weibo: He will not do hip-hop, and will stick to his own path.
I have to give him a thumbs up here!
It's really nice to be able to stick to one thing and stick to your own style.
In reality, because of pressure, many people will change careers, and life is helpless.
Now you can still see the news of Zheng Yuan's performance in the mall on the Internet, but I believe that for him, it is happy to insist on doing what he likes.
3 本兮
When it comes to singers, how can there be less Benxi, a talented girl who became famous at a young age.
He started writing songs at the age of 14, and at the age of 15, he published many songs on the Internet and became popular.
Singing and dancing, everything is complete, different.
In the face of parents' dissupport or even contempt, she relied on her love for music, bravely faced criticism, and won everyone's love with her talent.
However, with the development of the network and the arrival of the traffic era, there is no marketing and gradually loses its voice.
In 2016, a shocking news spread all over the Internet.
Ben Xi has passed away!
Her studio also officially issued an announcement, further confirming that she passed away for some reason.
Fans and netizens will definitely not believe such a sudden news.
On the same day, Benxi also released his work schedule, and there was a live broadcast to be conducted, why did it take less than half a day to have no people.
Conspiracy theories began to arise, and speculation was mixed.
even provoked the conflict with his family before, thinking that it was related to his family.
But everyone's suspicion also made her family suffer great mental oppression.
In the end, the studio issued another statement to make an announcement, and the discussion stopped.
The news of Benxi's departure is regrettable, but I still wish this genius girl a good journey.
4 From east to east
East to east, a man who only sings one song of fire in his life.
He made his debut through an online singer competition and became popular with an original song "I Don't Care About Your Tears".
After becoming famous, he began to work the music track.
During the fire, he appeared on the stage of CCTV, and also cooperated with Huang Xiaoming and others, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.
Within two years, he released two songs in a row and starred in a TV series.
In 2013, he became a judge of "Happy Boys" in Beijing, and a bright future is just around the corner.
He could have eaten for the rest of his life on a song from before him.
It's a pity that in July 2019, some netizens posted screenshots of the Zhejiang government service website.
The singer Donglai Dongxiang (formerly known as Dai Enze) sheltered others to take drugs and was seized by the public security organs.
Among them, Chen was poisoned and died.
A reporter asked the agent if the situation was true, but the agent said that his ex-girlfriend had committed the crime, but he did not.
In the end, Edong was convicted of allowing others to take drugs, and was sentenced to 1 year and 7 months.
Originally, he was a very talented singer, but because he took the wrong path to accommodate drug addicts, he ruined his good future.
5. Aho
The name Ah Bao was first known to the public on the stage of "Avenue of Stars", and the song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous" amazed everyone.
Coupled with the white turban, rough and yellow skin, and the very rustic dress, it also aroused everyone's sympathy.
The last move won the championship of the "Starlight Awards".
The popular Ah Bao also appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and performed with Dai Yuqiang.
But when people are on fire, it is easy to lose themselves.
Under the praise of the people around him, he began to recognize his own strength.
said arrogantly on the show: "Just destroy the Phoenix Legend!"
But soon, he paid the price for his actions.
may be that I am too ostentatious, and someone picked up his image as a Northeast man just packaged.
He suddenly changed from a singer loved by everyone to a liar that everyone shouted and beaten.
The job is gone, and the future is interrupted.
At one time, everyone thought that he was blocked, but he himself came out and clarified: No.
But no one dares to use him anymore, and now there is no such person in the entertainment industry.
6 Xu Huaiyu
Taiwan's "civilian diva" Xu Huaiyu is at the peak of her debut, and the song "I Am a Girl" is popular all over the Internet.
After that, she focused on acting, and starred in TV series such as "Legend of Heaven and Earth Fish Beauty", "Monkey King", "Jiangnan Huameng" and other TV series, which were very popular.
But after the fire, all kinds of gossip have been by her side.
The news of "playing big names" and "abandoning the elderly" continues to come out.
Let many people have a different view of this goddess.
Later, she was forced to respond under pressure: her family treated her badly, would beat her when she drank, and often threatened her with her mother, and said that if she didn't give money, she would die for them.
This statement has been released, and the opinions of netizens have entered a polarized situation, with mixed reviews.
But even if he issued a statement, Xu Huaiyu's popularity is still irretrievable.
Later, because of the contract problem with the former company, he was sued in court and was saddled with a debt of 2 million.
The Longyan agency even said that it would use her connections to block all her performances in the mainland until she published an apology in the newspaper.
It was the hardest period of her life.
As time goes on, she will also come out to participate in some small commercial performances and variety shows.
Although it is no longer as beautiful as before, there is no problem in living comfortably.
7 Kataro
Daolang has always been considered a representative of grassroots singers.
His songs "The First Snow in 2002", "Impulsive Punishment", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", etc., are all generally acceptable styles to the public, and they are simply eaten by men, women and children.
His songs were very popular as soon as they were released, so popular that half of the 10 rooms on KTV were singing his songs, and even beat Jay Chou and created many sales records.
But there are a lot of different opinions about his style in the industry.
Na Ying publicly said: Daolang's songs are all listened to by farmers. Without an aesthetic point of view, no matter how high the sales are, it is useless.
Yang Kun said bluntly: Is Daolang music?
But fortunately, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and others have also praised him.
In this way, Daolang, who had always been controversial, was very confused and slowly began to retreat.
In recent years, songs have been released, and "Rakshasa Sea City" in 2023 only caused a temporary controversy, and was not sung in large numbers, and other songs did not stir up any waves.
8 Lv Jianzhong
Lu Jianzhong is known as the second Jay Chou because of his song "Three Kingdoms Love".
I believe that many post-90s generations are very familiar with him, and "Three Kingdoms Love" is a song that is not outdated now.
He can not only write songs and sing, but is also proficient in dancing and musical instruments, and is an all-round musical talent.
But as you can imagine, he actually has congenital heart disease.
A person who needs to sing and dance on stage, has a heart condition, what to do when performing?
The high notes and explosiveness are violent emotional movements when singing, can he persevere to the end?
At the peak of his career, he held a concert, but Lu Jianzhong was admitted to the hospital not long after the end.
In order to take care of his body, he could only withdraw from the stage for the time being.
But after a long time, few people mentioned his name again.
After making a comeback again, there is no place for him in the music world, and he sings on the street because he loves music, and the current situation is worrying.
Conclusion
These singers have long since passed away, and our youth has ended, but those familiar melodies have long been carved into our bodies.
There are many singers who have become popular by chance, thinking that they have achieved success, and have begun to float, not taking anyone seriously, and some even embark on the road of crime.
But in reality, if you choose the wrong path, you will regret it for life.
Therefore, you must always maintain your enthusiasm and show your talent to everyone in order to be remembered by the audience.
Only with strength can we stay in this era of charming eyes.
