After a 4-year absence, "Singer 2024" is back!
From "I Am a Singer" to "Singer", although the name has changed, the popularity and popularity of the IP of "Singer" have always remained high. Unfortunately, the quality of the program "Singer" continues to decline, and the broadcast of "Singer: The Year of Fighting" in 2020 only scored 4.9 points, which is the lowest Douban score in the history of "Singer".
In the four years that "Singer" has been temporarily away, various high-quality music variety shows have emerged in an endless stream, from "The Voice of God" to "The Sound of Life" to "Time Concert", each music variety has won its own place in the market.
At this juncture, if "Singer" wants to return to the market and seize market share, then it naturally has to find another way. Therefore, after the official announcement of the file, "Singer 2024" directly announced that it will conduct a live competition, and the singers participating in the show will open the microphone to present a LIVE show and sing in real time.
Full open microphone LIVE, this singing form is still a live broadcast, which undoubtedly makes netizens feel excited, and they are looking forward to the official announcement of the singer lineup of "Singer 2024", bringing a new audio-visual feast to the audience. It's just that when "Singer 2024" is launched, everyone will find that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Singer 2024" has a total of seven debut singers, they are Chinese singers Na Ying, Wang Sulong, Rainie Yang, Hailai Amu, Chinese band Second-hand Rose, American singer Chante Moore and Canadian singer Faouzia. If you take a closer look, you will find that there is only one veteran among Chinese singers, and she is Na Ying.
At the beginning of the live broadcast, every singer showed their talents. On the one hand, the live competition is to be able to feel the true level of the singers and let them show their singing skills, on the other hand, the audience also hopes to see the singers' "original" singing, and looks forward to the birth of the god-level scene.
In the live broadcast, it is true that every singer is inevitably nervous, and they all try their best to play their level. However, the level is indeed uneven. Viewers who have watched the first live broadcast of "Singer 2024" can only say that their expectations for Chinese singers are too high, and the performance of Wang Sulong, Rainie Yang and others is even more disappointing.
Wang Sulong sang his own original song in the show, called "Think of Us". From a song selection point of view, the song is too flat and doesn't have much ups and downs. And Wang Sulong's singing is not amazing, but it makes people question his singing skills.
Some netizens bluntly said that they didn't expect Wang Sulong's singing skills to be so ordinary, his panting was so loud, his breathing was particularly obvious, and his breath was not stable.
Wang Sulong is stable, and Rainie Yang is nervous. The song Rainie Yang sang this time was "Take Me Away", and as soon as she opened her voice, everyone felt her nervousness. Although the follow-up is getting better, the overall singing of this song still makes people feel that there are too many flaws.
Second-hand Roses can be said to be one of China's more personal bands, and they chose the song "Monkey Play" in the first live broadcast competition of "Singer 2024". The song really strongly highlights the uniqueness of their band, and also adds a lot of traditional Chinese instruments, but most of the audience only felt "embarrassed".
Some netizens bluntly said that "second-hand roses are still suitable for music festivals and concerts, and this kind of live broadcast makes their performance that should be relaxed so stiff and inexplicably embarrassing", and even some netizens feel that "Playing Monkey" appears on the stage of "Singer 2024" There is a feeling of unadaptability.
In general, the first Chinese young singers basically have more or less problems, either their singing skills are questioned, or the effect is not good due to nervousness, or the choice of songs does not match the style of the program. The only one who has been recognized is the veteran Na Ying, and her song "Mo" hits the hearts of the people.
As for the two foreign singers, it can be said that they both played their normal level. Seeing them singing with ease on the stage, not only the audience, but also the Chinese singers competing on stage were amazed. Na Ying "forced a smile", Wang Sulong excitedly raised two thumbs up, and Rainie Yang covered her mouth with her hands together, her expression was admired.
The results of the competition were not surprising, with two foreign singers occupying the first and second places, and the veteran Na Ying of the Chinese music scene won the third place, followed by Wang Sulong in fourth place, second-hand rose in fifth place, Rainie Yang in sixth place, and finally Hailai Amu.
Seeing such a competition result, netizens couldn't help but ridicule while feeling that it was expected. The two foreign singers are powerful people who have stood on the Grammy stage, Wang Sulong and Rainie Yang are frequent visitors to music festivals, Hailai Amu emerged from the stage of the Avenue of Stars, Na Ying is a frequent visitor to the major domestic Golden Melody Awards, and second-hand roses are ridiculed for performing on occasions of red and white ceremonies.
The top two were occupied by American singers and Canadian singers, with Na Ying holding on to third place. In this situation, some netizens couldn't help but play memes, saying that "resisting foreigners is the fate of the Yehenara clan", and they also made emojis. It is reported that Naying's surname "Na" is derived from the Manchu surname "Yehenala".
Netizens who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement also took out the lines in the film and television drama "The courtiers of Daqing are all dumb, why don't you speak, let the foreigners bully me", and made a corresponding emoji for Na Ying, with the text "Internal entertainment singers, they are all dumb, why don't you speak, let the foreigners bully me".
After the broadcast of "Singer 2024", music critic Ding Taisheng also posted a video to express his views, he praised the two foreign singers as "impeccable" and "almost perfect", Na Ying is the top singer in China, Wang Sulong's song is too peaceful, mocking second-hand roses smashing the field, Rainie Yang "really can't sing".
Looking at this excitement, you will find that what "Singer 2024" is out of the circle is not the god-level stage and singer's singing skills, but Na Ying's helplessness and the controversy over the strength of young Chinese singers. What this competition exposed is not the current predicament of the Chinese music scene, and the doubtful singing success of young Chinese singers caused by phenomena such as voice repair, lip-syncing, and fan control.
While the topics related to "Singer 2024" were hotly discussed, the lip-syncing turmoil in Mayday was also fermented again due to the latest response from the Shanghai Bureau of Culture and Tourism.
At this time, it is time for the Chinese music scene to wake up, leaving the sound repair and lip-syncing, what is the strength of the so-called powerful singers? Why is the stage of "Singer 2024" not a "demon mirror"? Those who dare to stand on this stage are at least more courageous than those who refuse when they hear about the live competition.
