Preface
In the second phase of the competition of "Singer 2024", the performance of several contestants caused strong dissatisfaction among the audience. Their singing skills are uncomfortable, but they can still stay in the show, which arouses suspicion of "related households". As a top singer competition show that has placed the audience's expectations, "Singer 2024" gives people a feeling of "deviating from the right path". What exactly is causing this? Did the program team do some unknown operations behind the scenes? Let's take a closer look at this issue.
1. The status quo of the program: The level of singers is uneven, and the audience is dissatisfied
The broadcast of the second episode of "Singer 2024" has sparked widespread heated discussions. Spectators were generally disappointed and even angry at the performance of several fighters. The gap between the first place and the last place is like the distance from the "Vienna Opera House to the county KTV", which is unacceptable. In particular, the performance of Huang Xuan and Hailai Amu has caused great controversy.
Huang Xuan: The performance of "madness" has caused controversy
Huang Xuanxuan sang a song "Call You an Old Woman", and its unique style is almost close to the state of "madness". This overly "avant-garde" style makes it difficult for many audiences to appreciate, thinking that this is not the male singer needed in the Chinese music scene at all. While some touted him as "unique," to most viewers, his performance was more like that of a "county KTV singer."
Hailai Amu: "Milk voice" and "smoke voice" are staggered, and the noise is everywhere
Hailai Amu, who was controversial in the last issue, once again bombarded with his three styles of "milk voice", "smoke voice" and "card fish stinging voice" this time, which made people's ears almost calloused. His maverick behavior has made many viewers question whether this so-called "self-style" can really be accepted by the public.
From these circumstances, it can be seen that the level of the contestants in "Singer 2024" is uneven, with both singers with outstanding strength and players who obviously lack skills. The latter not only failed to bring a pleasant experience to the audience, but became a "stumbling block" for the entire show. This situation will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the audience, and some people even doubt the ability of the program team to select people.
Second, behind the phenomenon: the operation of the program group brings suspicion
Regarding the uneven level of the contestants in "Singer 2024", many viewers began to wonder if there were some "shady" operations in the program team. For example, some so-called "related households" were selected so that they could enter the show and maintain a lower position.
Na Ying frequently "shakes people and does not move", and the face of the domestic entertainment singer is gloomy
In the second post-competition interview vlog, except for the two foreign female singers who expressed excitement, the faces of the other mainland singers were very gloomy. Among them, Rainie Yang, who ranked sixth, was reluctant to be optimistic that "I haven't been eliminated yet", while second-hand roses and Wang Sulong, who ranked fifth and fourth, have begun to give up on themselves. The last Hailai Amu even wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, which shows that their psychological quality is not outstanding.
In this situation, in the last issue, Na Ying has been "shaking people without moving", but instead "shake" all the singers who came to participate, but did not achieve the desired result. This makes people wonder if there are some unspoken rules in the show that allow some "related households" to enter and keep their positions.
The contrast between Huang Xuan and the Hangai band exposes the problem of program selection
Huang Xuan and Hang Gai band, who came to kick the gym, the performance of the two can be described as worlds apart. Although Huang Xuan shouted the slogan loudly, he finally chose the relatively weak Wang Sulong as his opponent, obviously "picking up soft persimmons and pinching". The Hangai Band directly competed with Shantimo, the first player, and finally successfully unveiled the list with its own strength.
This contrast exposes the problems of the show's contestants. On the one hand, some "related households" were selected, so that they could enter the program but it was difficult to exert their due strength; On the other hand, it ignores some really strong players, so that they can't show their heads in the first place. This phenomenon will undoubtedly affect the fairness and professionalism of the program, and will also make the audience question the program's ability to select talents.
The second-hand roses and Hailai Amu's "sophistication" contrasts with the lack of strength
On the verge of being eliminated, both second-hand roses and Hailai Amu have shown some "human sophistication" means. Second-hand Rose chose a song "Sister-in-law, Lend You a Pair of Big Feet" to satirize the opponent, while Hailai Amu directly sang the host Hu Haiquan's song "Why". This approach seems to indicate that in "Singer 2024", in addition to strength, you also need some "connections" to maintain your status.
Although they all kept their positions in the end, this also shows that there are some problems in the selection and operation of the program team. Some of the less powerful contestants were able to keep their positions through some means, which is undoubtedly contrary to the fair competition of the show. The audience will naturally question this, thinking that there is some possibility of "insider trading" in the program group.
3. The deep-seated reason for the operation of the program: pay attention to the ratings and ignore the professionalism
Based on the above analysis, it is not difficult to find that the "Singer 2024" program team has some problems in the selection and operation, which may stem from their excessive pursuit of ratings and neglect of the professionalism of the program.
For the sake of ratings, he did not hesitate to introduce "related households"
As a top singer competition show, "Singer 2024" should choose singers with outstanding strength to participate. But apparently the program team did not do this, but instead introduced some so-called "related households". Although these players may have a certain popularity base, from a professional point of view, they obviously cannot represent the top level of the Chinese music scene.
However, in order to ensure the ratings, the program team still chose these popular but weak players. They hope to spark heated discussions through the participation of these "related households", so as to attract more audience attention. But this obviously comes at the expense of the quality of the show.
Too much pursuit of "hype" and ignores professional judgment
In order to keep the topic of the show, the program team also adopted some hype methods. For example, Na Ying frequently "shook people and didn't move", but as a result, mainland singers all had sad faces; also allowed some "related households" to enter the show and temporarily maintain their positions, causing dissatisfaction among the audience. These operations undoubtedly increase the attention of the program to a certain extent, but at the same time, they also damage its professionalism.
At the same time, the program team does not seem to pay enough attention to the professional opinions of foreign judges. When foreign mentors questioned Hailai Amu, some people thought, "Hailai Amu has a different audience, how can you use a foreigner to dismiss him?" But in fact, Hailai Amu does have some problems in his musical attainments, which is an objective judgment by professionals.
It can be said that the "Singer 2024" program team pays too much attention to ratings and topicality, and ignores the professionalism of the program. This not only damages the credibility of the show, but also makes the audience lose trust in the show.
Seek a balance between entertainment and professionalism
As a top singer competition show, how to find a balance between ratings and professionalism is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
On the one hand, the program must maintain a certain degree of entertainment and topicality in order to attract the attention of the audience and maintain high ratings. But on the other hand, if you focus too much on these factors and ignore professional judgment and fair competition, it will be difficult to truly reflect the standard that a "singer" should have, and it will not be recognized by the audience.
Therefore, the program team must find a balance between the two. They need to select singers with real strength to participate, and at the same time, they should also pay attention to the topicality and entertainment of the program, so that the audience can enjoy the superb singing skills while also getting a sense of satisfaction and pleasure. Only by doing this, "Singer 2024" can truly become a top-notch show with both professional standards and ratings.
epilogue
Through the analysis of the second issue of "Singer 2024", we found that the program has some problems such as the participation of "related households" and the lack of professionalism. These problems stem from the fact that the program team pays too much attention to the ratings and ignores the professional standards. In order to attract the attention of the audience, they did not hesitate to introduce some players who were not strong but popular, and adopted some hype methods.
However, these practices are clearly contrary to the essence of the top singer competition show. If the program team can't find a balance between entertainment and professionalism, "Singer 2024" may not really be the top event that the audience is looking forward to. We hope that the program team can learn from this lesson, pay more attention to professionalism in future programs, and dedicate truly wonderful singer performances to the audience.
