Recently, "I Am a Singer 2024" has been re-broadcast after four years, and it has become the focus of heated discussions on the whole network for a while.
In the past, there was the amazing singing skills of foreign players "hanging the Chinese music scene", and then there was Na Ying's "fifty-year-old lady guarding the country".
Nowadays, many singers have spoken on Weibo, "asking to fight and defend against foreign enemies".
But there are a few singers who have contributed amazing performances on the stage of "I Am a Singer", but they have not released the news of "please fight".
There are even a few who directly rejected the enthusiastic requests of fans and netizens, and directly and publicly refused to participate.
Counting the many years of "black history" since the launch of the "I Am a Singer" program, you can also understand why they made their current choice.
1. Zhang Jie
On May 13, Zhang Jie posted his live scene in "I Am a Singer" in 2017 on Weibo, with the text: "As a singer, singing live is the most basic requirement."
Previously, when Zhang Jie participated in a variety show, he also broke the news that he had been "questioned about fake singing in a very professional singing show", and Zhang Jie also said: "This is a bit insulting to me."
As soon as this incident came out, it quickly appeared on the hot search, and the past grievances between Zhang Jie and "Singer" also reappeared in front of the public.
As early as 2017, the fill-in singer in the first round of "I Am a Singer" could not participate because of something, and it was about to be broadcast, and the situation was urgent, so the director chose to ask Zhang Jie for help and let him come to the rescue.
Because Hong Tao, the director of "I Am a Singer" at that time, had a good understanding of Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie postponed many trips, and even returned the concert tickets out of his own pocket to come to the competition.
At that time, Zhang Jie was running back and forth between the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala and the program "I Am a Singer", thinking that his "righteous" behavior would be thanked by the program team and recognized by the public.
But that's not the case.
Since Zhang Jie's competition, there have been countless voices questioning him as a "backdoor" relation, and he was ridiculed by the group at the first performance, and what is even more infuriating is that the program team also broke Zhang Jie's private trumpet in order to stir up the heat.
But despite this, Zhang Jie still took the game seriously and treated every stage until that incident happened, which made him really unbearable.
After Zhang Jie sang the song "Myself" almost flawlessly, the producer, the director Hong Tao, told Zhang Jie that some contestants' teams questioned him about his lip-synching.
The reason for being questioned was that Zhang Jie played too well and had no flaws.
Zhang Jie was shocked and more disappointed and sad, he was not sad to be questioned, what was really chilling was that director Hong Tao did not believe Zhang Jie, but asked him if he had lip-synching.
Helpless, Zhang Jie had to wait for the program team to investigate the audio track, and waited in the rain with fans until five o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the final result returned Zhang Jie's innocence, he once said on the show: "This is my most anxious and difficult night", presumably the fans who accompanied Zhang Jie to wait are also extremely distressed.
But even if his innocence was proven, Zhang Jie still suffered from cyberbullying for a long time, and some people left messages in the comment area, hoping to make Zhang Jie withdraw from the competition.
After all kinds of twists and turns, on the finals stage of "I Am a Singer 2017", although Zhang Jie presented a wonderful performance and won the third place in the internal vote, the public vote ranked first from the bottom.
While all the contestants stood on the stage with streamers in the sky laughing and celebrating, only Zhang Jie stood silently in the corner with the little girl who worked together, because no one called his name to let him go on stage.
Although Zhang Jie in the camera was smiling and gently removing the ribbon that fell on the little girl's head, he looked extremely lonely.
After many years, although Zhang Jie received an apology from the program team and director of "Singer", he could not let go of this matter in his heart.
Now that the Chinese singer of "I Am a Singer 2024" has been crushed by foreign singers, although many people have called Zhang Jie to help in the competition, he and fans who know what happened have insisted on refusing.
2. Deng Ziqi
Although Deng Ziqi relied on the popularity of the "I Am a Singer" program and became the youngest "little diva".
But now in the face of many netizens' comments requesting to play, she directly responded in the live broadcast that she was going to hold a concert, and expressed her refusal to participate in "Singer 2024".
Because back then, Deng Ziqi also encountered too many grievances and injustices in "I Am a Singer".
In 2014, Deng Ziqi, who has become a "little singer" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, came to the mainland for the first time and participated in the star-studded "I Am a Singer".
When the host introduced her, except for Cao Ge, no one had heard of her name, and even the jury's evaluation of her was only four words: "good figure".
But when the song "Bubble" was sung, it amazed everyone, and Deng Ziqi let all the audience know her strength.
Even so, as a little-known Hong Kong and Taiwan singer in the mainland, the audience and judges have never stopped questioning her.
When singing the classic song "Like You" in tribute to Huang Jiaju, Deng Ziqi directly stopped the scene, because there was only one track of music in her headphones, and the lack of an audio track would affect her normal performance and she could not complete the singing.
It was obviously a mistake in the work of the on-site accompaniment and the program team, but Deng Ziqi was criticized.
First, the members of the star jury commented that she was "not a mature singer", and then there was overwhelming abuse on the Internet, saying that she was troublesome and played a big name.
It was from this that Deng Ziqi was burdened with infamy and praise at the same time, and fell into the whirlpool of public opinion.
The fuse incident that made Deng Ziqi suffer from the "whole network black" occurred at the 2015 "I Am a Singer" peak song party.
At the beginning of the broadcast, Deng Ziqi, who was originally scheduled to participate, suddenly appeared from the show, and for a while the overwhelming abuse hit, and Deng Ziqi's remarks of "being ungrateful and playing a big name" and "should be banned" flooded the Internet.
The reason for the incident was that three days before the show was broadcast, Hong Tao, the chief director of "I Am a Singer", suddenly posted angrily on Weibo: "If you don't change the song, we will change people!" ”。
After this Weibo caused heated discussions, many media and marketing accounts broke the news that the person referred to in the article was Deng Ziqi, who refused to cooperate with the program team's arrangement and insisted on singing a new song.
But the fact is that when accepting the invitation to the show, Deng Ziqi's agency Hummingbird Music had already made a request, Deng Ziqi must sing the new song "One-line Track", and the "I Am a Singer" program team also agreed to this request.
After that, Deng Ziqi has been practicing new songs to prepare for the show, but when the competition was approaching, he was notified by the program team that he could not sing his own songs and had to change the songs.
Without discussing with Deng Ziqi himself, Hummingbird Music Company resolutely refused to change the song, so Hong Tao posted angrily late at night.
Although Deng Ziqi was not responsible for this matter, the tide of bad comments swept her alone
During that time, Deng Ziqi was in pain, because all her words and deeds would attract scolding.
Whether it is her appearance, figure, works or her clothes, she can always be slandered and abused by netizens by finding various black spots.
The desperate Deng Ziqi even thought of leaving a suicide note to prove his innocence.
Even though Deng Ziqi became popular because of "Singer" and has now become a hot diva, she still can't let go of the injuries she has suffered.
And the program team and director of "I Am a Singer" have not apologized to her so far.
3. Tan Jing
Few people should still remember that there is a powerful "Big Devil" contestant who once participated on the stage of "I Am a Singer".
She is the "national team player" - Tan Jing.
When Tan Jing was on the stage of "I Am a Singer", the song "Jiu'er" did not know how many people were intoxicated, and her soft and powerful singing voice was a "dimensionality reduction blow" for other contestants at that time.
That year, Tan Jing could be called a "god-level stage" in almost every performance, and she was a well-deserved champion candidate in the hearts of netizens and audiences.
Some people even praised her: "Tan Jing, in my mind, is the best singer in the eight seasons of "I Am a Singer"."
Some judges commented on Tan Jing: "Whenever Tan Jing sings, you know how broad the boundaries of an excellent singer are."
is such an excellent player, but suddenly chose to withdraw in the middle of the game.
At first, Tan Jing herself issued a withdrawal statement on Weibo, mentioning that she would "continue to adhere to her own music concept", and for a while, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about the reason for her withdrawal.
Later, netizens were even more shocked to find that the "I Am a Singer" program removed all Tan Jing's stage videos from the shelves, and even directly ignored her name when announcing the rankings.
As for the reason for Tan Jing's withdrawal, there are two versions that are most recognized on the Internet.
The first is that Tan Jing sang an original song "Moonlight of Sailim Lake" written and composed by herself at that time, and this song was also sung on a public platform for the first time as a new song.
Therefore, the "I Am a Singer" program team hoped to recover the copyright of Tan Jing's song, but was opposed by Tan Jing and the team, and the two parties could not reach an agreement.
Therefore, Tan Jing was forced to withdraw from the competition and was removed from all stages.
The second reason is that the champion of the year has been designated as Lin Yilian, but Tan Jing's strength is too strong, so the "I Am a Singer" program team had to ask her to withdraw from the competition.
Although the truth of Tan Jing's withdrawal has not been announced so far, many of her fans are upset for her under the hot search calling for Tan Jing to participate in "Singer 2024", saying that Tan Jing will not participate in this show again.
Tan Jing herself also responded to this: "Busy with Mother's Day", in disguise, she politely refused the invitation of netizens to hope that she would reappear on the stage of "Singer".
epilogue
Although "Singer" has always been popular since its inception, the previous contestants have also been powerful factions with kings and queens.
But the controversy about the "Singer" program team and contestants has never stopped.
Whether it is the withdrawal of the contestants or the unreasonable treatment of the contestants in the show, in the final analysis, it is the mistakes and mishandling of the "Singer" program team.
Only by running programs seriously and treating the contestants sincerely can we make good programs that the public loves.
Instead of blindly focusing on stirring up heat and creating topics, wouldn't it be "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon".
In any case, I still look forward to "Singer 2024" producing more excellent stages for the audience.
