"Singer 2018" has been broadcast twice, and the first singer to be eliminated has also come out, yes, it is Li Xiaodong, who was a singer, opened a bar and restaurant, and was a music director.
Li Xiaodong's elimination also seems to confirm an irreversible "mid-life crisis" phenomenon.
After Li Xiaodong was eliminated, the fungus saw that many audience fans on the Internet said: Why will it be Li Xiaodong who will be eliminated, obviously two times down, the songs he sings are the most emotional and most touching.
Why is it Li Xiaodong who will be eliminated first?
Instead of answering this question, the fungus first enumerated the results of a phenomenon: from "I Am a Singer" to "Singer", there was not a singer on this stage who took the emotional route (Yu Quan, Han Lei, Han Hong, Li Wei, Lin Yilian), nor a non-jianghu status singer (originally the most likely to become the "Song King" in the first season was Qi Qin).
Not only the singer king, but even the popular singers are non-emotional, Huang Qishan and Lin Zhixuan in the first season, Deng Ziqi in the second season, Li Jian in the third season, Huang Zhilie in the fourth season, Di Maxi in the fifth season, and the sixth season is not evaluated, and Zhang Tian's explosion is not obvious enough. We can see that from the second season, the explosive style of "Singer" has begun to tend to be younger and more beautiful.
Then, let's look at Li Xiaodong.
On the status of the jianghu, Li Xiaodong can only be regarded as red over a certain era, but even if it is red, it is not red to the extent that several generations have remembered him, he is red quickly, and he sinks quickly. The style positioning given to him by Wikipedia is "folk songs", but for the mainstream audience of the "Singer" program, his "folk song" status is far inferior to that of Lao Wolf, Park Shu and others, and there is also a "half of the rock and roll world" Wang Feng in the same scene, and he does not have a work that can represent his peak period, and he does not have any advantages in the original masterpiece (several famous singers in the same scene are not only a representative work), and Li Shengjie, who is not bright in the same two performances, also has a "Crazy Heart Absolute" press.
What about popularity? Except for the fledgling Zhang Tian, any singer on the field (Jie Xi, Wang Feng, Zhang Shaohan, Gai, Li Shengjie) has a better mass base than him, and the advantages in the age division are obvious (younger), and the middle-aged men and women who have listened to Li Xiaodong's songs in those years are estimated to be not many. No popularity means no market, no ratings, no topic.
Relatively speaking, Li Xiaodong does not have any absolute advantages, which is a very real problem.
He can't be a blockbuster.
The fungus can't judge whether the results will be different if Li Xiaodong is the first season, but the status quo is that the most critical audience in the world cultivated by the six seasons of "Singer" is not limited to the satisfaction of the ears, but must have a high score from the voice to the appearance, from the outside to the heart.
Li Xiaodong, he has no advantage in appearance and age (Zhang Yu, Han Lei, Li Keqin, Lin Yilian, etc. are all 60s people like him, but the peak period of these people is really not the same concept as his peak period), and he lacks a blockbuster strength in singing (he can't "open his mouth and kneel", not everyone is Di Maxi), especially in the comparison of the same king like Jiexi, he is really a bit mediocre.
Not a jianghu status singer, but also lack of potential for blockbusters, then take a more stable "feelings" route.
Judging from the choice of songs from the first two scenes, Li Xiaodong took the emotional route, one "Later", one "Dispel Sorrow", which really touched many people, especially those who have experienced life and experienced life.
But "success is also feelings, and failure is also feelings."
The fungus does not know how many people have similar feelings with themselves: Li Xiaodong's two singings are indeed full of sincerity and emotion, and the selection is also a highly sung work, but I don't know why, I heard a lot of negative emotions from his singing, such as decadence, bitterness, sadness, and heard a middle-aged man's self-pity.
Rene Liu's "Later" is indeed sad to hear, and people who have experienced it a little will not be able to help but burst into tears, but this song is more of a nostalgia for the time that has passed, and it is Byron's "If we see each other again, it will be a long time." I will be how you, with tears, with silence" sensibility and reason, the final focus of this song falls on "there is a boy in love with that girl", Rene Liu sang out of sadness and regret, but not gritted teeth hysterical, but there is a healing beauty.
Mao's "Dispel Sorrows" is another experience. This song is also a victory of feelings and emotions, Li Xiaodong aggravated the treatment of "sorrow", like drinking a glass of spirits and hurting the intestines, and the original song of Mao's not easy "sorrow" is not a sharp knife, but a "bone sponge palm", he did not sing hard, he melted countless people with four or two strokes of a thousand pounds.
We agree with Li Xiaodong's life experience expressed in the song, but we may not appreciate it.
Li Jian, who also takes the lyrical route, also sang a lot of lyrical and slow songs on the stage of "I Am a Singer", but there was no anxiety, dissatisfaction and emotion of a middle-aged man in his voice, and he did not want to make the audience cry and sing, so after we listened to his songs, we got a rare freshness and tranquility.
Some people will retort that singing other people's songs of course has its own style, yes, Li Xiaodong did sing his own logo, but he lacked the boldness of Hu Yanbin in "The Hill" and Li Ronghao in "Xiaofang" in the adaptation, he wanted to sing himself and wanted to seek stability, so that he had been hovering above and below that safety line, did not dare to stay away, did not dare to cross, thus limiting his own possibilities.
So you see, "Singer" has achieved the sixth season, the audience's standards are getting higher and higher, and if the singers who come to the scene are all powerful, the strength is no longer an advantage.
