"Singer 2024" is on the air.
In an unprecedented way, it went out of the circle.
Na Ying, who was named the "gatekeeper of the music world"?
The return of the sound ceiling has set off a chain reaction.
After the show was broadcast, the entire domestic entertainment and music scene exploded.
originally thought that with a singer like Na Ying present, this season's champion should have been a certainty. The audience may not have expected that we would lose so badly.
"Singer" adopts an online live broadcast and a full open microphone, and the pressure on the singers is very high, and they have to hang up for a few days in case they sing and split.
The strength of the Queen of Heaven is there, and her performance is quite stable.
Wang Sulong and Rainie Yang are "dying and struggling", Hailai Amu and Second-hand Rose are going off the rails, and netizens pointed out that they are doing things on the stage.
Unlike Chinese singers, the performance of foreign singers is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
American female singer Chanté Moore's relaxed typhoon and super strength won the first place without any suspense.
When she received the invitation to the show, she bluntly said whether she was a judge in the past.
The good voice of the new generation of singer Faouzia Ouihya is shocking, with smooth transposition, full resonance and strong explosiveness.
The expressions of the two of them when they watched the domestic singers sing also changed from expectation to slightly speechless.
As if to say: That's it?? What are you doing here?
The performance of all the singers was taken out by netizens, and a carnival belonging to the Internet musicians began.
First, Na Ying's sentence "You go up and try" swiped the whole network, and then a "I want foreigners to die" emoji came out of the circle.
"Singer" has become "The Adventures of Naying", the Grammy vs. Strawberry Music Festival, the fifty-year-old lady guarding the country, Yehenara is her surname, and it is her life to defend against foreign enemies......
The hot search is full of stalks from netizens, and the scene is gradually getting out of control.
Fans went to the comment area of other singers to leave messages, telling them to stop the concert, don't run the announcement, and go to "Singer" to save Na Ying first.
Han Hong was the first to stand up to fight, and singers such as Li Jiawei, Yuan Yawei, and Lin Zhixuan also came out to respond.
Unprecedented bustle.
It can be said that "Singer" single-handedly overturned the mask of the Chinese music scene.
"Na Ying Terrier" revitalizes the music variety show?
"The Singer" has been eleven years old, and its starting point can be said to be very high.
However, in the middle seasons, the data of "Singer" is not optimistic as a whole, and the data on the second day of the broadcast of "The Year of Fighting" is only tens of millions, and the glory of the past is no longer there, and "Singer" has also fallen into a state of stagnation.
In the three years since "Singer" was suspended, other music comprehensives have not reached the level of becoming popular out of the circle, tepid, and without success. "The Voice of God" has a Douban score of 6.0, and "The Masked Singer" has only 4.9 points......
In the era when TV stations dominate, it is easy for music comprehensives to become popular.
The music variety in the era of TV stations has a strong market appeal, amateurs can sign up to participate, and there is a relatively fixed process for becoming famous.
Programs such as "Avenue of Stars", "Supergirl" and "Fast Man" have set off a national climax and become the top stream of music comprehensives.
But with the decline of satellite TV and the development of short videos, it is becoming more and more difficult for the sound comprehensive to get out of the circle.
The competition system is similar, the guests are repetitive, and even the look and feel of the stage are difficult to make people shine, and the audience will get bored sooner or later.
It's not that they haven't innovated, but the track is crowded, the audience's aesthetics are upgraded, and how difficult it is to succeed.
Almost all music comprehensives are facing the dilemma of "everything that should be on has already been on, and if you don't want to be on it, please can't do it".
There are only a few veteran singers, and the number of voices they have played is not enough, and many of the singers of the new generation are still immature, and there are few who can play at all, and the audience still looks at Mao Buyi and Shan Yichun......
In the domestic variety show market, the number of music variety is still the largest, but the national style of the big hit music variety has not been there for a long time.
In the past two years, the sound comprehensive has exploded again, but almost all of them are vertical.
For example, "Summer of the Band", such a vertical-focused program can quickly accumulate loyal users.
Viewers will be more attentive when watching and will be more likely to be moved by the content of the program. They look forward to the band and song selection for each season, and at least one hit song can be born in each issue, making it easier for the band and song to become popular.
In fact, the audience still needs the sound comprehensive, but their requirements are more advanced, and their tastes have become more picky.
Originally, live broadcast + no sound repair was the base groove of the sound comprehensive, and most of the first sound comprehensives also followed this model.
However, in recent years, almost all of the audio comprehensives have been recorded and broadcast + post-editing, resulting in many viewers who are not on the scene not being able to hear flaws, which is no different from listening to the recorded version in the studio at home.
At the same time, they also care about the authenticity of the content of the show, emotional resonance, and storytelling.
They are no longer limited to a certain genre or style.
The requirements for the singers' singing skills, music production, arrangement, and arrangement are higher.
The audience's ability to understand art and music has become higher, and their ability to appreciate it has also increased.
The resurgence of "Singer" made netizens realize the gap between the European and American music scenes and the Chinese music scene.
Are European and American singers really more powerful than domestic singers?
Is the Chinese music scene really inferior to foreigners?
European, American and Chinese pop singers are affected by the market and environment, and they all have different characteristics.
The singer's own timbre and singing style also affect the audience's understanding of their strength.
Europe and the United States pay attention to "in place", while China pays attention to "taste".
The singing connotation of pop songs mainly includes two aspects, namely singing style and singing method.
Some scholars have pointed out that domestic pop singers have accepted the national vocal words in the general direction, and have accepted the bel canto singing method and the national singing method in the vocal method.
In the early days, when domestic singers sang pop songs, the technique was relatively simple, and the singing was mostly based on real voices, and they followed the national singing method of spitting and biting words.
True voice is the unmodified sound produced by the natural voice to form the overall vibration, local vibration or edge vibration of the vocal cords.
The pronunciation of the true voice is relatively natural, and it is also within the natural sound zone.
Even if some falsetto and embellishment are added, it is based on and dominated by the real voice.
The composition of the Chinese Chinese dialect has thirteen words, four tones, "heavy word head", "full word belly" and "light word ending", which is based on language habits and has also had a great impact on the singing method.
It was only in the later stage that the air voice singing method and the soft voice singing method were applied to the singing.
European and American pop singing emphasizes the mixture of true and false voices, as well as the concentrated use of the sound of the whole song.
Compared with Chinese pop music, European and American pop music has more mature musical styles.
In different musical styles, there are different singing characteristics.
They focus on the purity and explosiveness of the voice, emphasizing the deep, even, and controlled breathing, and the relaxation of the vocal cords and the opening of the throat.
The voices of many European and American singers are very rich and full, they can switch back and forth between true and false, bel canto, there is a feeling of "anything can be done, anything can be done", and the curve of the voice is very natural.
At the same time, the two have different emphases on pop music.
There are many musical elements used in the arrangement of European and American music, and the integration of different instruments makes the music more dynamic. Many European and American musicians are good at independent sampling and modulating timbre, focusing on rhythm.
In terms of arrangement, Chinese pop music not only draws on the strengths of European and American music, but also brings something with national color.
The arrangement relies more on the existing timbre of traditional instruments, emphasizing the melody of the human voice.
So we can find that in many songs, piano and strings appear the most.
Chinese singers really can't be intimidated by a "live broadcast".
Trimming the voice, lip-syncing, and half-opening the microphone are not the audience's faces after all.
It's better to get the music back to pure as soon as possible.
