This year is the tenth year of "The Voice of China", which is of landmark significance for a music variety show. The program team is indeed looking for new breakthroughs to meet the increasing aesthetic needs of the public. However, contrary to wishes, the mentor, format and stage form of "The Voice of China" are becoming more and more fancy, but there are fewer and fewer good music and good singers, and the program is gradually moving away from the three words of "The Voice".
Although "The Voice of China" is no longer as brave as it was, the audience still pays high attention to and expects this show. According to the Cool Cloud ratings data of "The Voice of China 2021", the three programs currently broadcast have won the same period of satellite TV ratings championships, with a rating of more than 0.7%.
Although the show still maintains good ratings, the overall popularity is obviously declining, and the quality of the contestants is seriously declining. At present, the program has broadcast three episodes, Na Ying, Li Keqin and other mentors have been full and began the team PK position grab battle, but there are almost no players who make people shine, He Keyue and Dong Shuhan, who are slightly champions, can only be short generals, and Shan Yichun is not at a level, and the people of Liang Bo and Ji Kejun in that season are not comparable.
Talent shows have appeared in a bunch, and good seedlings are far from catching up with the speed of cutting leeks, and it is an indisputable fact that the students of "The Voice of China 2021" are not powerful. What should I do if the trainees are not strong enough? That would require gimmicks on other content in exchange for attention.
"The Voice of China 2020" joined the original track, and original students such as Song Yuning, Jia Yiteng, Zhao Zihua and other original students have emerged. Unexpectedly, the original students of "The Voice of China 2021" completely became the protagonists, a large number of so-called original students brought original works, and a student named Fashion even sang 3 original works to join the team.
The instructors on the stage enjoyed and ate a rainbow fart, but these songs did not leave any traces after listening. Compared with these originals, many audiences are more willing to hear high-quality cover works such as "Three Days and Three Nights", "Love Letters to Filmmakers", and "Love Should Be Frank". It is a pity that the "Voice of China 2021" program has been recorded so far, and there is not a single song that people want to listen to repeatedly, let alone the works of the circle.
"Alien Bands", each of whom appeared wearing a special mask, came to the stage to spread the music of the future. The band is called a group of five semi-mechanical, half-human cybermen. They brought with them the song "Three-Body Cosmos647", with lyrics and concepts derived from the science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem".
They are very novel in terms of dress and music presentation, and the arrangement is also a bit interesting, and it is indeed more unique to stop on the stage. However, listen carefully, this female lead singer singing skills are not passed, the singing process swallows words seriously and the pronunciation is not clear, it is almost difficult to hear the lyrics without watching the subtitles, and the breath is not very stable, although the use of the electric singing form, but still can not hide their big white voice.
Although we should be more tolerant of new music, the overall gimmick of such a stage performance is greater than the music itself. Many people are also confused during the viewing process, thinking that they are on the wrong set, and perhaps the programs such as "The Masked Singer Will Guess" and "China's New Rap" next door are more suitable for them.
What is even more difficult to accept is that after the singing, they did not take off their masks for the entire interactive session, using voice changers, and the female singer claimed to come from unexposed coordinates in the universe, and it was the most perfectly developed language function among the five people. In this process, a group of people cooperated with her to complete this good play, and the whole process also interpreted the sentence: as long as you are not embarrassed, the embarrassment is someone else.
And for their performances, netizens do not buy it, many people pointed out: such a performance is ugly, the content is fancy, embarrassing to the toe to cut out a villa.
MiniG mini machine band was soon picked out by netizens, they mainly play women's new school rap + new metal electronic sound, the female lead singer is 41 years old Su Na this year, she participated in "China Good Songs" in the form of Jane Confused Duo, and also participated in "China New Rap" last year.
People who have been eliminated by "China Good Songs" and "China New Rap" and have not caught fire, why are they so highly praised when they reach "The Voice of China"? It may be that our level of appreciation can't keep up with their musical level, but can't the professional instructor sitting below see it as good or bad? Surprisingly, Wang Feng, Na Ying, and Li Ronghao all turned around, and the band finally joined the Wang Feng team.
Seeing such a result, people can't help but ask: Is this still a good sound that we are familiar with? Is this not enough strength gimmick to make up? Wang Feng, Na Ying, and Li Ronghao jointly staged a good play, did they really care about the audience's feelings?
The band screamed as soon as they appeared, so that before they could start singing, Lee Young-ho directly slapped the button to turn around, and later turned around in remorse, which was actually the beginning of the show. Wang Feng, who had a look of enjoyment, turned directly, and almost to the end, Na Ying and Li Ronghao did not turn around, at this time Na Ying came with a sentence "Teacher Li Ronghao, follow the play, turn!" The two finally turned around and joined the show with Wang Feng.
In Wang Feng's view, the MiniG mini machine band is the first time that a particularly good attempt has appeared on the good sound stage, and it is an innovative attitude. Wang Feng already had a lot of ideas, could make them a huge "explosion", and created at least one "divine comedy" for them. If the band is very contentious, Wang Feng also promised to make an album.
When the three mentors each tried to "grab" the MiniG mini machine band, only Mentor Li Keqin was in a real and sober state on earth. Not only did he not turn around, he did not make a state of enjoying the music, nor did he join the show. In the awkward chat session of the female lead singer, Li Keqin's mentor also eased the embarrassment with a joke, he bluntly said that his Mandarin was not good, and he could not communicate with these so-called aliens.
This is precisely the charm of Li Keqin's mentor. Although it is the first time to come to the stage of "The Voice of China", Li Keqin still shows a very high mentor quality, each of his turns has its own selection principles, not blindly following, not doing exaggerated performances, the comments of the players are also very nutritious, and can point out the problems of the students to the point.
Li Keqin gives people the feeling that he is sincere and principled, and every turn is to appreciate the students from the heart, so when he and Na Ying grab people together, it is always Li Keqin who laughs at the end. On the contrary, Na Ying shot the lights very casually, took down 6 trainees early, and then kept patting the lights, so that the team students understood greater pk pressure, so the robbery link was always rejected.
In contrast, although Li Keqin is a new mentor compared to Na Ying, he impressed the students with his professionalism and sincerity, and finally won the seed students such as Fashion and He Keyue.
Good music, high-quality students and professional good mentors are the magic weapon for the survival of the "Voice of China" program, although this season has a luxurious scene of 8 mentors, but the content of the talk show is too much, and the music has become a foil, such a program is destined to be difficult to enter the hearts of the people.
