Recently, the veteran music variety "Singer 2024" has made a strong comeback, and the strength of the two singers from abroad in the first live broadcast competition is terrifying, and the "Chinese Music Scene Defense War" has officially begun.
Among the powerful singers expected by many audiences, Wang Leehom may live up to expectations and really participate in this show, because some netizens broke the news that he will participate as a fill-in singer, and there is a saying that Wang Leehom's strength is really strong!
He will definitely shine in this show, of course, except for him, everyone who is as famous as him "Zhou Wang Taolin" has been named by netizens, and they want to see them on "Singer", to say that Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Tao Zhe, and Lin Junjie can be regarded as the four kings of Taiwan's music scene!
After so many years, their songs still capture the hearts of the younger generation, and people sigh that their starting point is together, but they have entered middle age, and everyone's life trajectory is very different.
01 Jay Chou
Jay Chou's status in the Chinese music scene is really unshakable, his music has been the first on the charts until now, he is the singer who has won the most Golden Melody Awards, and the singer who is liked by the old, middle and young generations.
But now Jay Chou has been holding concerts or playing around, but his appeal is still there, and in 2022, the long-awaited "The Greatest Work" will be the first in the world once it is sold! But the response to the works in it was average, and netizens said that he had exhausted Jiang Lang's talent.
Think about his previous works, which one is not outdated now, the lyrics, songs, and arrangements are all online, and in terms of singing skills, he is not particularly strong, but each song sings very has its own taste.
But with the increase of age and a large number of concerts, his voice is a little serious, but even so, it does not affect the audience's liking for him, and the concert is still full.
But the songs created in recent years have really regressed a lot compared with the previous ones, and the lyrics of "Brother Lian's chest muscles, if you still want to rely on" are really spicy! Netizens are calling on Fang Wenshan in the comment area to come out and save Jay Chou.
Maybe a happy life is to make people's creation not so easy, Kunling has also been crowned with the title of "terminator of the Chinese music scene", but at present, Jay Chou's life is simply the pinnacle of life, his wife and children are hot on the kang, a large number of fans still support their concerts, and they go to play all over the world, which ordinary person is not envious?
However, I still hope that my brother can write better works and create more youthful memories for this generation of young people.
02 Leehom Wang
Wang Leehom can be said to be the only academic among the four, and he is also a university tyrant, having been awarded an honorary doctorate by his alma mater, Williams University, and also received a double degree master's degree from Berklee College of Music.
Wang Leehom can be said to be a very perfect existence! With good grades, no problem with singing and composing, knowing a lot of musical instruments, natural acting skills, and handsome people, he seems to have taken preservatives, and his appearance is almost no different from more than 20 years ago.
If you are handsome, you will attract fans, but Wang Leehom's strength in music is what he can do better, and who can't sing two sentences of his "The One", "Big City Little Love", "kiss goodbye" and "What You Don't Know"?
He has also won the Golden Melody Award many times, and has been refining his singing skills, he will buy a professional electronic laryngoscope, observe his vocal cords at home, Xiaobian has done laryngoscopy twice, once through the nose, once by the doctor with his tongue and an instrument into the throat, this experience is really uncomfortable!
But Wang Leehom actually observed it by himself, which is really admirable!
He also once said that he would sing a song a thousand times and choose the best one among them, how could this kind of ruthlessness in work make bad music?
If it weren't for the marriage turmoil between him and his ex-wife Li Lianglei, he would still be the dream lover in many people's hearts.
His divorce was also in a uproar at that time, Li Lianglei's logic was very strong, and she poked at Wang Leehom's fault with reason, and most of the hearts of netizens were biased towards her, but things on the Internet are the most likely to be reversed.
Two years after this turmoil, Wang Leehom finally cleared his grievances, but it seems that netizens do not pay attention to the news of this victory, and their impression of Wang Leehom stays in the "scumbag image".
I don't know if he will be able to prove himself again with his strength on the stage of "Singer" this time and become popular again.
03 Tao Zhe
Tao Zhe is known as the "Godfather of R&B", this is true, listening to Chinese R&B, who can bypass the name Tao Zhe?
"Ordinary Friends", "Just Love You", "Love is Simple" and "Quicksand" which song is not familiar?
has won many Golden Melody Awards, and many musicians have also been influenced by him and have begun to sing R&B songs. It was a beautiful time, and the music attracted a large number of fans.
But now many people know him, not because of his music, but because of his private life and his scumbag image.
He has a rich love history, and Melody, who once starred in "The Ultimate Class" as the spicy teacher Tian Xin, is still talked about because of the song "Melody", after they broke up, Tao Zhe and Anita Mui fell in love, and at that time, the media broke the news that "Tao Zhe is Anita Mui's last boyfriend", and at Anita Mui's funeral, Tao Zhe also supported her coffin.
Later, he was photographed traveling to West Lake with Zhu Dan, but neither of them admitted their relationship, of course, Tao Dacai's love affair was far more than that.
But the most famous is the PPT incident of the year. After he married his wife Jiang Peirong, he still had an improper relationship with his ex-girlfriend Yang Ziqing, and after being exposed by Yang Ziqing, he also chose to open a development conference and chose to apologize to everyone.
Everyone thinks that he will apologize like other artists, and it will be over after saying some sorry words, but his behavior is really jaw-dropping, and he made his chat record with Yang Ziqing into a PPT to explain and explain his derailment!
I don't know what he thinks he is doing for his graduation defense, Tao Zhe is really good at academics, but when it comes to derailment, it is really shocking.
After this incident, Tao Zhe's reputation plummeted, and later he improvised "Ayi, Oh, Yi", which was ridiculed by netizens for a long time when he improvised "No Land for Self-Respect" in the variety show "The Most Beautiful Harmony".
But perhaps the Chinese music scene is really not very good today, his early works have been turned out again, and many netizens commented: "I seriously doubt that Tao Zhe is a time-traveler, otherwise why are his songs so avant-garde." ”
In this way, Tao Zhe began to become popular again, his songs from ten or twenty years ago have received the love of many audiences now, and the song "Everyday" sung with Shan Yichun at the New Year's Eve party really attracted countless fans.
Now he has also started concerts again, and the venue is also full, in March, he also posted the flower basket sent by Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and Lin Junjie at the concert, which can be regarded as a combination of "Zhou Wang Taolin"!
04 Lin Junjie
Lin Junjie is ranked last in "Zhou Wang Taolin", but he is now the only one among them who has always maintained excellent composition and stable singing skills, and is known as "Walking CD".
The recent "black material" is to sue those who scored the dance clips of his concert "Immortal Body", many people think that he has such a high status, but he is so stingy, many people's dance clips are entertained, why don't people sue?
But Lin Junjie actually doesn't care so much about this kind of hacking, such as spoofing his iron bangs for ten years before, and he doesn't care about netizens playing stalks.
But this time it's about his music, and he explained at the concert that the song was an important piece for him to express a turning point in his life, and that the dance was also created by his late mentor, and that he cherished the song so he didn't allow others to entertain it.
He still has some false rumors, which are just rumors, and they have never been confirmed, and he can still hold concerts and appear on variety shows, which means that those rumors are false.
If you take 10 years as a node, Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and Tao Zhe have released very few albums in this decade, and the response received is mediocre, on the other hand, Lin Junjie has released a total of 4 albums from 2015 to the present, and each album has very moving works, "Exchange for the Rest of Your Life", "Songs Not Made for Anyone", "New Earth", "Romantic Blood", "Unfortunately, Not If", the popularity is very high.
When Jay Chou and Tao Zhe were experiencing a reversal of their voices, the songs he covered on some of the music comprehensives made these songs popular again, "Our Love", "Contentment", "The Wind Rises", his singing skills are really not picky, and "Walking CD" is really not called in vain.
He will now interact with fans in the live broadcast, a proper funny man, fans question that his hair is a wig, he will take off his hat, play with his black and thick hair, and say in his Taiwanese accent: "Wig?" Am I a wig? Is it because it's too dense. ”
This is also imitated by many fans, which is really funny!
After so many years, judging from the current comprehensive strength, among the four heavenly kings of "Zhou King Taolin", Lin Junjie's name should not be the last.
epilogue
"Zhou Wang Taolin" is the mark of the times, but as far as their works are concerned, the works of 20 years ago are still outdated, and they have all experienced a trough.
But as Tao Zhe said: "Flying depends on technology, and falling requires courage." Fly, you may have to believe in others, but when you fall, you have to believe in yourself. ”
I also hope that they will leave some new memories for the current generation of young people.
