On the stage of "Singer 2024", a battle of music, technology and audience perception is quietly staged.
As a leader in domestic music competition programs, this season of "Singer" not only attracted many powerful singers to join, but also sparked a heated discussion about the authenticity of music behind the scenes. And the fuse of this heated discussion turned out to be a vocal teacher in Canada.
This vocal music teacher, although he is in a foreign country, knows the domestic music program well. From Zhou Shen , Deng Ziqi to Han Hong , Gong Linna, these leaders in the Chinese music scene can't escape his sharp comments.
And this time, his eyes are focused on the stage of "Singer 2024", listening to the singing of each singer with his professional ears, and at the same time using his unique perspective to analyze the truth behind this musical feast.
First of all, let's talk about Na Ying. As an evergreen tree in the Chinese music scene, every time Sister sings, she can arouse enthusiastic responses from the audience.
On the stage of "Singer 2024", she successfully won the third place with a soulful song. However, the vocal teacher pointed out that although the sister's singing was moving, there was an unknown secret hidden behind it - sound repair.
Yes, you heard it right, it's the pronunciation. In the eyes of many, sound fixing is part of post-production and has nothing to do with live singing. But the vocal teacher told us that the technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to make on-the-fly corrections on the spot. In other words, the voice we heard from the sister was not entirely real.
Is the sound editing technique really that magical? Not really. Although it can cover up the singer's singing flaws to a certain extent, it can also make the music lose its original charm and authenticity.
For true music lovers, they prefer to hear the singer's real voice rather than the "perfect" work that has been post-processed.
Next, let's talk about Vanhia. The Moroccan singer has made a name for herself in the Canadian music scene with her unique Arabic singing approach.
However, on the stage of "Singer 2024", her performance aroused questions from vocal teachers. The teacher thinks that Fanxia's strength is very strong, but the choice of songs is a little strange.
This can't help but remind people of the saying: "Choose the right song, and you win half the win." "In music competitions, the importance of song selection is self-evident. A song that suits you can often bring out the best potential of the singer, so as to win the love and recognition of the audience.
The absence of Gong Linna and Han Hong also aroused the attention of vocal teachers. The status of these two powerful singers in the domestic music scene is undoubted, but they chose to be absent from this season of "Singer".
What is the reason behind this? The vocal teachers speculated that it might be because they felt that their musical style did not match the program's positioning, or because they had reservations about the sound editing technique.
After all, for real musicians, they prefer to infect the audience with their real voices, rather than relying on technology to improve their performance.
As a new generation of Chinese music force, although Zhou Shen was not specifically mentioned in the comments of this vocal teacher, his fans revealed a regrettable news - due to being busy with touring, Zhou Shen was unable to participate in this season of "Singer".
This has undoubtedly left many fans feeling disappointed and regretful. After all, Zhou Shen's unique voice and soulful singing style have always been the audience's favorite.
"Singer 2024" has also attracted many other singers to join. Among them are two international superstars, Adam Lambert and Broken Eyebrow. Although they failed to join the show in the end, their names are enough to make the stars of this season of "Singer" shine even brighter.
Behind this musical feast, sound repair technology has undoubtedly become a topic that cannot be ignored. It makes the music more perfect, but at the same time, it also makes the music lose its original realism.
For the audience, they want to see the singer's real performance, rather than the "perfect" work that has been processed by technology. Therefore, we expect that future music programs will pay more attention to the authenticity and purity of music, so that the audience can truly feel the charm and power of music.
