Regarding Ding Taisheng, why does this "music critic" in the eyes of the public frequently question Hailai Amu's music style, and even describe it as "soil"? First of all, we have to make it clear that if Ding Taisheng is the mentor or judge of the "Singer" series, his evaluation may still be convincing, but the fact is that he is not directly related to this show. He is more likely to express his opinions on short video platforms, which is more like a personal show than a professional music evaluation.
Speaking of Ding Taisheng's background, he has indeed been involved in the music industry for many years, from record planning to music critics, to directing and singer-songwriters, his experience can be described as colorful. But it also makes people wonder if such a diverse group of people can really go deep into the bone marrow in every field. His "Two Thousand Five Hundred Years" album, with its straightforward lyrics, can this style represent his musical aesthetics?
Let's take a look at his evaluation of Hailai Amu. He thinks that Hailai Amu's music is only suitable for the urban-rural interface, which is too one-sided. Music is diverse, and it doesn't just exist to cater to the tastes of a particular group. Hailai Amu's musical style may be different from what Ding Taisheng admires, but this does not mean that it is "earthy".
And the reason why Ding Taisheng frequently criticizes Hailai Amu may be related to his performance in "Tucao Conference". Da Zhang Wei once bluntly commented on him, saying that although he claimed to dare to speak up and comment, he was actually hyping himself in the name of criticism. This kind of "standing up and standing" approach not only makes people question his professionalism, but also makes people feel that he is doing his own personal selfish work in the name of music.
Therefore, we should perhaps take a cautious attitude towards Ding Taisheng's evaluation. Music is subjective, and everyone has their own preferences and aesthetics. Ding Taisheng can express his own opinions, but we should also maintain the ability to think independently and not be swayed by his remarks. At the same time, we also hope that Ding Taisheng can really focus on the music itself, and evaluate every musician and their works with a more professional and in-depth attitude.
