After the broadcast of "Singer 2024", Hailai Amu was criticized and written, and many viewers complained: Who is he? How can you sing such an earthy song? Why did he get on the stage of "Singer"?
Among them, musician Ding Taisheng commented on Hailai Amu: The singing voice is too earthy.
Hailai Amu directly responded with a long post: Maybe my music is not elegant enough, but the music itself has no limits, for me, it is good to be able to move people's hearts.
As soon as this article came out, many viewers were upset about Hailai Amu: What is soil? Now "soil" is valuable, local eggs, local chicken, local pork, and the price of adding a local word has doubled.
Some viewers said: Singers like Daolang and Hailai Amu are good singers who really sing into the hearts of ordinary people.
The chain of contempt in the music industry has always existed, not only for the audience, but also for the singers.
The most typical, of course, is the Daolang incident. Daolang became popular all over the country with "The First Snow in 2002", and he was born in "Ye Luzi", and his record sales crushed many orthodox singers.
If the awards are only judged by popularity, then Daolang will definitely sweep the major awards ceremonies of the year.
However, no matter how much the audience likes Daolang, Daolang still has no share of Daolang at the awards ceremony.
Na Ying once said that Daolang does not have an aesthetic point of view, that is, Daolang's songs are not professional enough and too saliva.
Wang Feng once said: Daolang's popularity is the sadness of the Chinese music scene.
Yang Kun also said: Daolang, is he music?
Twenty years ago, the self-media and the Internet were not developed enough, Daolang's music was not recognized by the mainstream in the industry, and fans who liked him had no channel to speak for him.
But now, Daolang's "grievances" have been cleared, and Daolang released a new song last year, and "Shichahai City" detonated the whole network. Returning after many years, Daolang is still the king. What new songs have been released by Na Ying and Wang Feng in recent years, do you know?
Hailai Amu is very similar to Daolang, he is not a singer recognized by the mainstream music circle, he is an "elected singer", the so-called elected singer is a singer that ordinary people like and praise.
Hailai Amu was born in 1993, only 31 years old this year, he became a father at the age of 20, but his daughter died of illness when he was two months old, and in the same year, he wrote "Agoji Song" to commemorate his daughter and started his own musical path.
Since then, his creations "The Man Who Ordered the Song" and "Your Thousands of Rivers and Mountains" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and until the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, Hailai Amu and Shan Yichun sang "It's Better to See Each Other", so that more audiences recognized him.
At present, Hailai Amu has nearly 20 million fans on the short video platform, and is the singer with the largest number of short video fans in "Singer 2024".
If Hailai Amu is very earthy and cheesy, does it indirectly mean that Hailai Amu's fans are also vulgar?
What exactly is elegance? What is Foreign Gas? What is Premium?
20 years ago, at that time, the Phoenix Legend was still called the Cool Fire Group, and they were born with a song "On the Moon", but at that time, they were the same as Daolang, they were all representatives of local singers, and the reputation of the Cool Fire Group was far inferior to Daolang.
In 2005, Phoenix Legend won the runner-up of "Avenue of Stars", and then appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala dozens of times, and "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" further opened up their popularity.
But this still can't be changed, the earthy and vulgar labels attached to the Phoenix Legend, although they have appeared on the stage of CCTV, but they are willing to invite them to perform commercial performances, which is still a style such as a rural stage.
But this year, Phoenix Legend finally held a concert, why didn't they open it before? Because they feel that they don't have fans and can't sell tickets.
But now, tickets for the Phoenix Legend concert are hard to find, and the college student audience in the audience waved the light sticks in their hands and collectively sang every song of the Phoenix Legend.
What is soil? We used to think that only the grandparents, parents and elders liked the legend of the phoenix is soil. So, now that Phoenix Legend is liked by college students, so Phoenix Legend has become advanced?
The song of the Phoenix Legend has never changed, there is love, nature, and the vast world in their songs, the Phoenix Legend is not soil, Daolang is not soil, and Hailai Amu is not soil.
In fact, these three have a commonality, Daolang's song carries the bleakness and vastness of Xinjiang, Hailai Amu's song carries the sincerity and simplicity of the Yi people in Sichuan, and the song of the Phoenix legend carries the boldness and atmosphere of Inner Mongolia.
It is not European and American songs that are called advanced, and it is not imitating the singing voices of European and American singers that it is called art. In fact, we have many powerful folk singers, Lei Jia (the original singer of "The World") and Tan Jing are all ceiling-level singing skills, but folk songs have always been "niche" and have not been sought after by the popular Chinese music scene.
We always say that what is national is what is global, and we think that high-end R&B is actually black music, and there are many European and American singers who sing American country music, and when you study it carefully, they all have strong local characteristics. Maybe it's time to carry forward our own national music!
