The second scene of "Singer", I don't know if everyone watched it last night?
Judging from the ratings report, no matter what the result of this performance, it has achieved the first result in the ratings. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that this year's "Singer" was broadcast in the form of a full live broadcast without repairing the sound, so that the music competition variety show has the "presence" effect of the whole people watching, and on the other hand, it is obviously due to the public opinion since this week.
As we all know, this year's "Singer" has taken an international route, and among the 7 singers in the starting lineup, foreign players occupy two. In the first competition held last week, foreign singers ranked in the top two of the charts with a strength that should not be underestimated, and even Na Ying, who was the first in domestic entertainment, could only be relegated to third.
This kind of formation has brought more attention to "Singer" than expected, which was originally just a simple music competition show, but it was actively played by the audience, and it became a battle between domestic entertainment and the international music scene. The audience invited well-known singers to participate in the competition online, from Han Hong, Tan Weiwei to Zhang Liangying, Huang Qishan, and the well-known big VOCAL was walked all over the place. Throughout last week's hot searches, it has been repeatedly jumping in the singer's response to the invitation, the singer's refusal, and the singer's response.
warmed up for a whole week, and last night's second showdown became the live broadcast of the real, national onlookers, and singer version of the Spring Festival Gala. Even He Jiong was "hanging" at the beginning, saying that it had been a long time since he had returned to this grand occasion of people all over the country watching the same show.
As for the rules of this competition, everyone has also seen that the new unveiling competition system will stir up the existing competition pattern, and the "unveiling players" selected by the online vote will directly challenge the two incumbent singers in the second game, and the successful one will become the singer list, and the on-the-spot performance ranking will be eliminated in order.
The unveiling contestants of this show have been announced before the broadcast, one is the Hanggai Band who is good at national and world style, and the other is Huang Xuan, an emerging singer-songwriter from Taiwan, China, who is known for his unique stage style. Hang Gai directly challenged first-round performance champion Shantimo, while Huang Xuan clearly paid more attention to the game strategy, challenging Wang Sulong, who was in the middle and late stages of the previous match.
As the champion of the first competition, the track "Superwoman" that Shantimo came up with in this issue has no major problems in terms of performance, but the selection of repertoire is obviously not as flattering as in the previous issue. As a world gold song that has been popular for many years, the overall style of this song tends to be fresh and small, even if individual singing sections still have strong technical skills and soaring notes, but on the basis of the familiarity of the scene, Shantimo's singing gives people a little less surprise.
In contrast, "the national is the world", the Hanggai band, which has long conquered the world with national + rock, brought a more direct shock to the audience. The performance level of the Hangai Band matched the national music stage once again confirmed the powerful power of world music across languages and nationalities. In comparison, the Hangai Band succeeded in the challenge.
In the second matchup, Huang Xuan VS Wang Sulong. As mentioned above, Huang Xuan has mastered the rules of the competition this time, and he did not directly challenge foreign players like the Hangai Band, but chose Wang Sulong, who was at the bottom of the ranking, more rationally. With Huang Xuan's strong stage performance ability and strong musical control, he has a certain chance of winning when he challenges Na Ying, but his choice is obviously much smarter, and he sings "Alone on the C Building" with familiar singing, which plays the music skills to the extreme, and also allows the domestic entertainment audience to see "something different".
As for Wang Sulong, he once again stubbornly gave up his various famous works, but chose a niche song "Flesh and Blood", and added a recitation out of thin air. Songs with low recognition, capricious adaptations, and in the face of Huang Xuan's fierce attacks, it is actually difficult to resist. This round of unveiling challenges was also successful.
As for the performance of the other players in this game, in fact, the overall trend tends to be flat. After the "baptism" of the first game, in fact, the contestants have slowly figured out the preferences of the audience, and know that it is easier to win favor with a loud voice and a high pitch in a live performance. So in the second game, even the "post-00s" contestant Fan Xia, who was not originally focusing on high-pitched songs, once again embarked on the route of reproducing golden songs, and seemed to replicate the competition strategy of Jessie J to win the king of singers. But her performance of "Set Fire To The Rain" itself is Adele's classic track, and Van Shea's interpretation does not surpass the original song, and it is only qualified in the treble section, which is still slightly inferior to the first "Crazy".
Among the remaining singers in the starting lineup, everyone else played mostly the safe card. Na Ying's "Break Free", Second-hand Rose's "Ode to My Sister-in-law", Rainie Yang's "Song Not for Anyone", and Hailai Amu's "Why", the overall performance is almost the same as the first one, except that Na Ying and Hailai Amu may also pursue "good", second-hand roses and Rainie Yang are both expressions that speak better than technology, and the willfulness in song selection and the lack of singing ability are difficult to maintain a dominant position in the competition. They all give people a sense of self-abandonment that they "can't beat" and enjoy the stage, the audience doesn't expect enough to see it, and the singer seems to be in high spirits.
After all, when the show came to an end, everyone already had a premonition that an even more terrible situation was coming. After second-hand roses and Rainie Yang confirmed their elimination, domestic entertainment singers didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, and "Singer" dropped a bombshell again. In the next episode of the show, another member of the overseas lineup has been added, Adam Lambert, and after the news was announced, it directly rushed to the hot search on Weibo. As a former champion of the "American Idol" program and the lead singer of the British rock band Queen tour, it is not too much to say that he is the big devil. I have to say that "Singer" has indeed achieved the internationalization and high level it claims this year, and the topic card of "winning glory for the country" has also been played to the extreme. This unpredictable program trend has become the biggest highlight of this year's "Singer", and the stalk of "Sino-foreign showdown" seems to be unable to stop for a while.
