In recent years, China's large-scale singing competition program "I Am a Singer" has returned to the stage in a new form of live broadcast and non-stop sound, giving contestants severe challenges. This not only tests the contestants' singing skills and performance potential, but also shows the show's persistent pursuit of maintaining the authenticity of music. However, the enthusiasm of the audience has declined compared to previous seasons, and one of the main factors is the line-up, especially the high-profile singers. This article will deeply analyze the impact and reflection of the live broadcast and non-stop audio competition system of "Singer 2024".
Challenges and disappointments
Once this season's "Singer 2024" is unveiled, the audience will be able to accurately predict the final winner, which is due to the a priori results caused by the inherent pattern. It is regrettable that it is not the artists themselves, but the high expectations of some singers. Especially for many Wang Sulong, who have attracted a lot of attention, his performance results are far from meeting the audience's expectations. On the other hand, other singers chose to respond with classic tracks, while Wang Sulong challenged new works, but the performance can only be summed up as "mediocre".
A contest of singing skillsIn such a competition system, singing skills naturally become the key factor of victory and defeat. As a powerful singer, Na Ying is known for her stable performance. However, after the baptism of performance by foreign singers, her self-confidence is fading. This kind of competition is not only a postgraduate examination of the artist's personal strength, but also a discussion and evaluation of the overall level of the domestic singing industry. In past programs, Chinese song singers were often on par with or even surpassed foreign contestants, but this competition seems to encounter a problem, which makes people think about the reasons behind it.
Variety shows and audience aestheticsThe aesthetic orientation of the audience has a key impact on the production of entertainment programs. In recent years, although a large number of music variety shows have undergone post-stage revisions, they have aroused questions about the authenticity of music and the quality of performances. For example, in the program "Singer", the host He Jiong once mentioned the problem of more vacant seats in the audience, which may imply that the audience attaches great importance to the authenticity of variety shows.
In this season's "Singer" competition, some singers stuck to their previous styles, while a few chose to be bold and innovative and create new songs. This phenomenon has triggered a deep discussion about the balance between musical talent and performance skills. In the eyes of the public, "Singer" pays more attention to the display of singing skills, and the requirements for creators are relatively low. However, it is these singers who have the courage to break through themselves that inject new vitality and deep thinking into the show.
The current state of the music industry "Singer 2024" emphasizes creation, to some extent, reflecting the current difficulties faced by the Chinese music industry. The over-reliance on sound editing technology has caused many artists to ignore their own originality, which further exacerbates the similarity of works in the market and lacks innovation. Therefore, the emergence of the show is expected to awaken singers' attention to creation and help the progress of China's music industry.
The audience's expectations and disappointmentsAs an important element in variety shows, the audience's expectations and feedback have a substantial impact on the direction of the show. However, the recent high-profile show "Singer" has sparked some controversy, and the audience response has been muted compared to previous seasons. In addition to regretting the lack of the lineup, there are also many questions about the content of the program. For a long time, "Singer" has been regarded as a stage for Chinese and foreign singers to compete, but this season's performance did not meet expectations, which triggered extensive discussion and reflection.
With the progress of society and the evolution of audience needs, music programmes need to continue to innovate and break new ground. Looking ahead, the possibility of more heterogeneous music programming is likely to emerge. The challenges and reflections of "Singer 2024" provide valuable inspiration for the future development path of music programs. Only by keeping up with the times and understanding the needs of audiences can we ensure that music programs stay ahead of the competition.
