In the second round of "Singer 2024", Na Ying is still fighting one against two. But the tide of the war seems to have changed.
Who would have thought that a "Na Ying Adventure" would make "Singer 2024", which has been absent for four years, become the first hit variety show to ignite domestic entertainment this summer. "Han Hong's invitation to fight" pushed this discussion to the height of heated discussions among the whole people.
How good is the premiere of "Singer 2024"?
The ratings of the night ranked first on provincial satellite TV, with a cumulative broadcast volume of more than 100 million on the second day of launch, the number of hot searches on the whole network exceeded 1,300, and the number of Douyin-related videos exceeded 5 billion.
But the most popular is the ranking of the first issue, foreign singers Shantimo and Fanxia won the first two, and Na Ying was third.
Na Ying's hot search, which was so nervous in the face of live pressure, continued to detonate discussions.
Now, let's look at the second installment.
The ratings exploded again, and the peak ratings of Kuyun broke 0.8 in less than half an hour of the live broadcast, far exceeding last week's peak of 0.69, and the final peak successfully broke one, with an average of 0.9448, almost twice as much as the second place "Let's Run 12".
Looking at the ranking again, the first place is Fan Xia, the second place is Na Ying, the third place is Shanti Mo, the fourth place is Hailai Amu, the fifth place is Wang Sulong, the sixth place is Rainie Yang, and the seventh place is second-hand rose.
Because the two unveiling singers unveiled the list, it also means that two of the 7 starting singers were eliminated. Based on the results of the first two periods, Second-hand Rose and Rainie Yang were both eliminated.
This result does not seem to be surprising.
And judging from the results, Na Ying seems to be as she said in the last issue, there is still room for improvement, this issue, she has successfully improved by one place, but in the Chinese music scene, has she found her way back?
01, Shantimo lost to the Hangai band, did he lose unjustly?
In fact, the first thing Shanti Mo lost to in this issue was the competition system.
Hang Gai directly chose to challenge the strongest, and also disrupted the rhythm of her performance, singing "Superwoman" hurriedly came to the stage, opened his mouth, and sang directly with a whistle.
Next, it was lost to song selection and arrangement.
This song is too complicated, the song itself has a strong story, language is an obstacle, and the overly gorgeous and complex arrangement must be sung with the most surging way to catch it, which leads to Shanti Mo, whose voice is not very good, has to work hard to sing big songs and soar high notes.
But even so, it was still a hearty show because she was so strong.
An R&B female singer who debuted in the 90s, has extremely strong and gorgeous singing skills, and is good at piercing the "dolphin sound" of clouds and cracked stones.
In particular, she is still trying to find the favorite way of singing in Chinese audiences, and in the end, the most touching thing about this song is not the high note, but the low tone.
She completely stepped on the melody of the bass part of the song and supported it with enough chest voice. In the shadow of the Waterloo-esque arrangement and opening mistakes, it is wonderful to still sing a story that excites me.
Let's talk about Hangai's "Reincarnation".
好坏 each half.
The good thing is that the folk music is so charming.
The song perfectly blends Mongolian folk music and rock music, and as soon as the audience is opened, the audience is taken to the vast grassland, and the singing is like a galloping horse, and several people sing thousands of horses. Matouqin ➕ Humai sings about life and death, reincarnation, heaven and earth, all things, and all living beings.
This is the most important song on the stage of "Singer", our song, the most Chinese song.
Hangai's performance is also very stable, Humai opens, the chorus hovers around like an eagle soaring in the sky, coupled with the bass base, the double lead singer makes the overall hearing more shocking.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, compared to Hanggai's own level, this field is only average.
The prelude is too long, and the live competition instruments can't be hearty, which not only lacks a sense of majesty and grandeur, but also lacks the depth of aftertaste and the beauty of philosophy.
However, it is enough to make many viewers excited.
In a comprehensive comparison, Shanti Mo was not unjustly lost, but although he was defeated, he was still glorious.
02, is it reasonable for Na Ying to forget the word and still win the second? Vanhia won the title in a landslide?
I'll just say it, the second is reasonable.
It's a flawed show, a trip that gets better.
Cui Di's song "Break Free" carries the retro melody and rough vitality of mainland pop music in the 90s, and it suits Na Ying.
Na Ying also completely let go, the whole person is very confident, and the singing is very relaxed.
Of course, the words are indeed unfamiliar, and in the end, she pointed to the teleprompter with her fingers little by little and sang, there was a kind of sketch-style joy, and she actually held on.
From a certain point of view, this song actually verifies why Na Ying is the eldest sister in the mainland music scene, and she is indeed strong.
In the case that the words are still a little rusty, the more backward they are, the more they let go, and they dance naturally, and the breath is more and more smooth, and finally they completely integrate themselves into the song, break free from the tension of the game and the shackles of the ranking, and sing the most important retro atmosphere.
Even if there are vague words and wrong words, this song is good, energetic, and has a millennial romantic taste.
Na Ying's adaptation is still successful.
This is indeed not a perfect performance, if Na Ying is given more time, the scene will be much better, but on the other hand, it also proves that the most singing female singer in the Chinese music scene is not a clay sculpture, Na Ying can sing.
So why is Na Ying's last second reasonable? Because she counterattacked more thoroughly than Shanti Mo, and made relatively fewer mistakes.
But Van Sia almost didn't make a mistake, and the champion should be her.
Some netizens said that Yaya is very similar to the international version of Huang Xiaoyun, and she does feel this way.
Singing Adele's "Set Fire To The Rain" this time, I can actually hear that her biggest disadvantage: that is, she has not really found her own style and complete moves like senior singers like Na Ying and Shanti Mo.
But she's young, skilled, talented, and has perfect vocal tension and timbre. What's more, she also enjoys music.
For example, "Set Fire To The Rain", which is also familiar to Chinese audiences with European and American hits, but do you say this is a special offer? Yes and no, judging from the results, yes, but Fan Xia didn't wronged herself to sing this song, she really liked it and sang it.
Her singing voice is always spinning and jumping on the stage, the treble is thrown out one after another like money, the texture of the voice is always online, and the chorus dares to show off her skills, and there are no mistakes.
She is like the chosen "Singer" singer, because she is too suitable for this stage, even if her musical cultivation and realm are far less than the two eldest sisters in the music world, but she is afraid of being less strong.
If she keeps singing in this state until the end, it will not be surprising that she will become the youngest singer of "Singer".
03, Huang Xuan's performance is too maverick? Can it be compared to second-hand roses?
When Huang Xuan sang "Alone in Building C", there was a brief decline in Mango's ratings, and perhaps some viewers went to Yangba at this time to take a look at Xiao Fan's progress, and transferred the station back.
How is Huang Xuan singing?
Judging from the musical skills and stage play, it is very good. In terms of the general public, it is terrible.
Let's talk about it first.
The difficulty of this jazz song itself is quite large, not only testing vocal skills and rhythm, but also including difficult techniques such as tearing treble mixing, in short, it is difficult to sing.
But Huang Xuan's performance is no problem, his whole state is extremely relaxed, he sings with ease, he is completely enjoying the stage, and he also shows his strong arranging and production skills, solid sound skills, especially excellent rhythm.
It is no accident that the Golden Melody Awards favor him, he does pop music that belongs to this era.
But this is also why many audiences will change the channel, because the biggest feature of pop music in this era is that it is focused, not popular.
For many viewers who are not familiar with jazz and are not accustomed to it, there is only one feeling: out of tune.
But simply comparing him to second-hand roses is actually not right.
The song sung by Secondhand Rose is "Ode to My Sister-in-law", the song selection is very bold, the arrangement has its own style, and it also sings their feelings for the land of the Northeast.
But to be honest, the adaptation is still difficult to please the public.
In particular, Li Na's original song is a standard popular song, or the theme song of the anti-Japanese war drama in the 90s.
If Huang Xuan is too foreign, second-hand roses are too earthy, they are still kings on their stage, but on the stage of "Singer", it is difficult for them to become the kings to the end.
But the performance that can't win a big win doesn't mean that it shouldn't be respected enough, and now many netizens' comments are inevitably too aggressive.
Even if it is a second-hand rose, it is only eliminated on the stage of "Singer 2024", that's all.
04, is the performance of Chinese singers really that bad?
Let's talk about other singers.
Let's talk about Rainie Yang first, "A Song Not for Anyone" is still not a very good song.
Some people will ask why they can't choose the right scene, and the answer is that Rainie Yang may not be a singer who is not very suitable for the singer stage.
In fact, on the stages of "The Sound of Life" and "Sister Lang", she can sing, why can't she be a singer?
Because the stage of "Singer" is picky, the delicate singing style she is good at, how to choose songs, is not right. If you sing hard, it will be easy to deform.
For example, this one, Rainie Yang's problem is not in the treble part, but in the bass part, which is really unstable.
I don't think it's because she doesn't have this kind of singing skills, but she cares about one or the other. It may be better to prove yourself on a different stage.
Wang Sulong's "Flesh and Blood" has also been greatly adapted, and the roar piled up in the final arrangement should be to prove his singing skills, but the more he exerts force, the more difficult it is to perfect the effect, and the final recitation is a more obvious adaptation flaw, this technique is more suitable for the party, not for competition.
Hailai Amu sang Yuquan's "Isn't It", but the performance was much better than the last play.
When he sings other people's songs, it makes it easier for people to listen to his singing, in fact, Hailai Amu's voice is good, and his interpretation also has his own style, that is, with a rough sense of life, it is actually moving to sing.
It's a bit too much like Yang Kun.
But it's right to choose bitter love songs, in fact, on the current stage, I really don't think anyone sings bitter love songs better than him.
05, the Chinese music scene, have you found the field?
Even if it is replaced with a new live broadcast shell, "Singer 2024" is still essentially a music competition program.
The show did find the best way to break the circle, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but as a result, the public's attention was met.
This solves the problem of boring song selection and excessive show-off skills that have been criticized in the first eight seasons, especially the excessive consumption of Chinese pop music resources.
Because the suspense of the show is different.
But a new question is coming, can the show get back to the Chinese music scene?
Although, this in itself may be a deviation, even the program team itself does not accept this kind of proposal.
Because although "Singer" is a competition show, it is not the Olympics in the end.
There are good and bad singing skills, but it is difficult to distinguish between high and low musical appeal.
Some netizens divided the competing singers into several distinct systems such as "Grammy", "Golden Melody Awards", "Avenue of Stars", "Strawberry Music Festival", etc., which not only ridiculed, but also explained that the singers' music styles, performance forms, and audiences are different, and it may not be fair to compare them on one track.
It may not be fair to let Chinese singers compare their voices with foreign singers, compare pitch transposition, compare rhythm and improvisation.
Yes, "Singer" should not just be a stage for competition.
It is also a stage for communication.
However, the audience's musical experience is the most direct.
Besides, there is always music that transcends all boundaries, and good is good.
Tengger sang "Heaven" on the stage of "Singer" that year. The majestic sound seems to travel through time and the sky, making the audience feel like they are in heaven.
Sister Stone, who won the king of singers that year, was shocked on the spot.
In fact, some netizens are desperately shaking people on the Internet, expressing an emotion, and the ridicule can't be taken seriously, but the audience's dissatisfaction with the Chinese music scene in these years is true.
It doesn't have to be a foreign singer on the stage of "Singer 2024", and winning doesn't mean anything.
The audience just wants to see that the Chinese music scene, which has been addicted to music cultivation for many years and can't extricate itself, can stand up and produce a few truly decent stages.
We hope that the Chinese music scene will find the field, not just to win the first place in the end, but for Chinese singers to find their respect for music, respect for the audience, and the aesthetics of music.
The essence of "Singer" is still a variety show.
It can't bear the heavy responsibility of saving the Chinese music scene, but it always seems to be able to "poke the lungs of the audience" and poke the pain points of Chinese music.
So who will save the scene is actually not so important, and the ranking is even less important, what matters is whether the remaining "Singer 2024" can rewrite the public's disappointment in Chinese music.
The audience's confidence is back, and the scene of the Chinese pop music scene is even if it is back.
