Originally, Mr. Ru thought that lip-syncing would only be performed by those who performed in ancient puppet shows. However, he did not expect that recently a powerful singer-songwriter who has been in the industry for more than 20 years actually lip-synced at a concert. He is Chen Xinhong, the lead singer of the domestic band Tiantuan Mayday, is known as "Axin".
As a band that has been established for more than 20 years, Mayday has created many classic and highly popular songs, which are deeply loved by countless fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Unexpectedly, it will overturn in 2023, when concerts are everywhere.
According to the video posted by netizens, Mayday lead singer Ashin clearly lip-synched during the concert, and even the lip-syncing was not accurate in some places. Although Ashin moved a lot during the singing, his singing breath was so perfect that there was no change. In another concert, the lead singer put down the microphone, and his voice did not change. The timbre was the same before and after. It was obviously a recording.
In fact, in the current mainland market, the phenomenon of lip-synching in various performances can be said to be quite frequent. But everyone can accept the lip-synching of popular artists, but they cannot accept the lip-synching of powerful singers. Because everyone has no illusions about popular artists from the beginning, and if they can listen to popular artists singing, they are actually their loyal fans (brainless fans), so people just look at their faces and don’t care about their singing performance at all. How about it. But for the powerful ones, many fans really go for the songs they sing, so once lip-syncing occurs, netizens will be greatly disappointed.
Therefore, in order to confirm whether the rumors of Mayday's lip-syncing are true, and also in order to clear Mayday's innocence, some bloggers specially made an appraisal of Mayday's recent concert. You don’t know if you don’t do it, but you will be shocked when you do it. Half of the 12 songs in the Mayday concert were lip-syncing. As for the actual singing part, the whole thing was out of tune, and the singing was extremely unpleasant. I have to say it was really outrageous.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, netizens immediately complained. Many people said that lip-synching during a concert by a top group was inappropriate. Before, I only knew that I could lip-sync when singing solo, but I didn’t expect that I could lip-sync when singing in a chorus. If I continue to be unable to even sing for real, why don't I hold concerts in the future and just hold fan meetings? As it is now, I might as well retire early, at least that way I can still appear to have professional ethics.
It can be seen from the complaints from netizens that everyone is very dissatisfied with Mayday's lip-synching. Impulsive netizens went directly to the Consumers Association to report Mayday's lip-synching, hoping to stop the lip-synching behavior at concerts.
According to relevant regulations, if Mayday does lip-syncing or performing at a commercial concert, it will also violate the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Performances". If the circumstances are serious, her commercial status may be revoked directly If you have a performance license, you will not only be fined and compensated, but you may also face the risk of being banned from performing. This also shows that if it is true after investigation, then Mayday will probably not be able to hold any subsequent concerts. This is undoubtedly a heavy punishment for Mayday, because according to the data, Mayday will have many more concerts in the future. If he is really banned from performing, then he will face sky-high compensation.
In fact, some netizens had previously revealed that Mayday lip-synched, saying that at many events he would directly play cards and let everyone sing along. However, some blind fans said that they would rather he lip-sync than open his voice in order to really sing in the concert. I have to say that the current level of acceptance among fans is really not that high!
However, some netizens expressed their opinions on this matter, which I feel is very pertinent. Said that it is a common phenomenon that many singers cannot sing as they get older, because people's voices will deteriorate with age. He even mentioned Jay Chou, saying that Jay Chou's singing skills have also deteriorated seriously in recent years. In fact, some time ago, a stand-in appeared at Jay Chou's concert, which also caused a lip-synching controversy. However, some netizens later said that it was just a rehearsal and not a concert.
Music is a perfect combination of emotion and technology. If lip-synching is used instead of real singing, then the music itself will lose its meaning. Therefore, this lip-synching controversy not only raised questions about Mayday, but also caused the audience to think about the format of the concert. How should we view this phenomenon, and what kind of music culture should we promote? These questions deserve our in-depth consideration. But no matter what happens next, Master Ru still hopes that Mayday can stand up and respond to the matter and give an explanation to the fans who like him.
