After the first performance of "Singer 2024", the audience generally felt that Chinese music was inferior in the competition with Europe and the United States. In particular, the performance of Chinese singers such as Na Ying seems to be powerless compared with the two European and American rookies. This intuitive feeling has led to a deep reflection on the value of Chinese music.
First, linguistic properties have a significant impact on vocal performance. The pronunciation characteristics of English make it more direct and powerful in vocal expression, while the complexity of Chinese puts higher demands on singers. Although Na Ying has a clear bite in the Chinese music scene, in the face of strong European and American styles, this traditional advantage is not prominent enough.
Secondly, cultural differences are also factors that cannot be ignored. European and American music emphasizes the flamboyance of individuality and the direct expression of emotions, while Chinese music tends to be subtle and restrained. This cultural difference is magnified on the stage of "Singer 2024", making the performance of Chinese singers seem relatively conservative.
In addition, modern Chinese vocal music is deeply influenced by Europe and the United States, and many popular singing styles are derived from the West. Although Na Ying has formed her own unique style, the limitations of this style are revealed in the face of more advanced European and American vocal techniques.
Finally, there is a gap between Chinese singers such as Na Ying and European and American singers in terms of stage performance and voice control. This gap is not a matter of individual ability, but a difference in the overall development stage and stylistic orientation of Chinese music.
The stage of "Singer 2024" is not only a competition of music, but also a cultural dialogue. It reveals the direction that Chinese music needs to further explore and improve in the face of the challenges of globalization. At the same time, it is also a wake-up call for Chinese musicians, reminding them not to ignore the core values of local culture while pursuing internationalization.
