Recently, with the explosion of Olivia Rodrigo, weekly sales have been increasing, especially in the United Kingdom, Olivia Rodrigo has now broken the BRITISH list since 2000 debut ranking record, which makes many people hate her to the bone.
Because the british hot female artists in recent years are obviously more than enough and insufficient, each one is thunder and rain, only Dua Lipa can play a little, while the United States has come out with several international superstars after 00, leading a lot in culture.
In this regard, many people who are not her fans are like ants on a hot pot, looking for 130 angles to attack her, using the achievements of the older generation of singers to discriminate against and look down on her, and saying that the current music scene is hopeless, American culture is lonely, and this generation of teenagers has no taste...
In this regard, one of the black spots that Olivia Rodrigo is more defensible is that there are many imitation traces in her songs, and in her musical works, she imitates many successful singers in the past, from the older generation of Elvis Costello to Taylor Swift and Lorde, so the criticism of her on the Internet is mainly based on the imitation of her creation.
In response to such a thing, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine acted as an online music critic and expressed some of his views.
He said: "I watched the Olivia thing, I think it's actually quite normal, because you are a person in the music industry, it is impossible not to listen to other people's songs and it is impossible not to be affected and inspired, but for a new singer, she does not have a professional team to help her use some means to make this thing more natural and less obvious, but anyway I do think we should have a little more empathy and understanding, peace to solve this problem, and try to find a way to protect the rights and interests of all people. Because music is a creative thing, a beautiful thing, and a beautiful thing that can be continued and passed on, it is very sad that a new generation of young girls will be attacked for inheriting a beautiful musical style. ”
However, the matter of speaking for Olivia Rodrigo caused Adam Levine to get into trouble, and many people accused him of double standards, believing that his speech was inconsistent.
Because previously, Adam Levine had commented on Lady Gaga on the same question.
At the time of the release of Born This Way, Adam Levine also tweeted: "Lady Gaga combined Madonna's VOGUE and Express Yourself to make a "Born This Way". ”
At the time of the release of Lady Gaga's album ARTPOP, Adam Levine also tweeted in a weird way on the Internet: "Bringing the old art culture back to the furnace does not mean that you are an artist, but probably makes you an art teacher." ”
This led to the two of them once scolding each other in the air, and Gaga said that some people just like to be art policemen.
In this regard, Adam Levine Many people think that seeing people talking about people, seeing ghosts talking about ghosts, well-known double standards, and red top white.
While thinking that Olivia Rodrigo imitation is fine, the hope of a new generation of music, on the other hand, he thinks that Lady Gaga copied Madonna, not as an artist's material, but only as a teacher.
Netizens thought That Adam Levine was insulting and set off a new round of rice circle struggle.
