Mayday came out to deny lip-syncing during the concert, and received support from Rene Liu and others, but the doubts did not stop. As more and more live concert videos were exposed, Mayday's image became increasingly precarious.
Especially after everyone saw the scene where Ashin seemed to not even remember where the microphone was, the reputation this veteran band had accumulated over the years was about to completely collapse. At the same time, JJ Lin was dissatisfied with others imitating his dance. The matter was questioned.
Even further back in time, Hot Dog’s song mirroring Jay Chou also aroused heated discussion. Although his subsequent explanation was not directed at Jay Chou, but criticized the entire music industry, including himself, netizens still regarded "resting on one's laurels" and "Treating fans as cash machines" is associated with Jay Chou.
Thinking about the overturning performance of veteran singers in recent years, you will find that every sarcasm in the hot dog lyrics is indeed not only related to Jay Chou. Isn’t Mayday, who was criticized for lip-syncing during her concerts and selling light sticks worth 140 yuan, doing everything right?
Or in other words, those veteran singers who once supported half of the Chinese music scene, once they have the idea of making money, without the team packaging, they excessively consume their feelings, and naturally none of them can even keep the last fig leaf. .
First of all, business capabilities have declined.
In fact, before the Mayday concert was questioned about lip-syncing, Cyndi Wang, Angela Chang, Liang Jingru and others all caused controversy because of their broken notes and out-of-tune performances (by the way, Cyndi Wang’s concert also exposed lip-synching controversy).
After this Mayday overturn, some netizens thought of Tao Zhe in Zhou Lin Wang Tao and the Four Heavenly Kings. They mentioned, half teasingly and half mockingly, that Tao Zhe's voice was completely ruined. Even if he sang more and more abstractly, he could still stick to the truth. Singing - when did the standards of the Chinese music scene lower to just singing?
The lowest ticket price for a concert is a few hundred yuan, and the most expensive one can easily cost thousands. Consumers spend money and time looking forward to the singer's performance, and the experience they get is either a broken tone or a perfunctory lip-synching. Is this reasonable?
Of course, it is understandable that voice function declines with age, but in many cases, the poor performance of veteran singers is more due to their neglect of maintenance and training.
- I haven’t released new songs or held concerts for many years. When the Mainland performance market recovered, I suddenly remembered that I can make money by touring. My standard has dropped drastically and I have to perform more frequently. I typically make a lot of money and then run away. I have lost my ability and have no sincerity. , making the filter shatter in an instant.
Secondly, the true popularity is exposed.
The ticket prices for Jay Chou's concerts in Thailand have plummeted, to the point where free tickets are offered for spending a few hundred yuan. Before Jay Chou, Leehom Wang had encountered the embarrassment of having overseas concert tickets plummeting and hiring locals to fill the concerts.
Including Tao Zhe, who has long been left behind, the Four Heavenly Kings of Zhou, Lin, Wang, and Tao are showing signs of collapse even in the field of music where they are best at.
Hot Dog’s new song mocks the music industry for resting on its laurels. It can be said that it has attacked many veteran singers. They say that the Chinese music industry is not as good as the previous generation and everyone would rather listen to old songs. To a certain extent, it is because even the veteran singers can no longer produce good songs. .
Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Leehom Wang have all released new songs, but their influence is not as good as before, and the ticket prices for their concerts have plummeted, which only proves one thing.
- Without the emotional filter, their real popularity is not as good as before, but these veteran singers are completely unaware of this. They have set a lot of rules for the concert and do not sing classic songs during the whole process, so that they are becoming more and more popular. Many people feel that they have no respect for their real audience.
Finally, I can’t hide my inner thoughts.
Mayday held an overseas concert, and it was obvious that the audience was mostly Chinese, but the camera always preferred to show white people;
Eason Chan held a concert in Macau, and the audience asked him to speak Mandarin, but he flatly refused and still had emotions;
JJ Lin held a concert tour, and the stage was on the short video platform in the Mainland. He posted in English on the Internet to express his dissatisfaction.
Here is a bold guess: no matter where these veteran singers hold concerts, there will definitely be mainland audiences present. Even if they go on a global tour, after all the box office of all concerts is calculated, mainland audiences will most likely contribute the most.
To a certain extent, the mainland audience is the biggest "financier" of these veteran singers. The mainland audience has never asked for special treatment, but sometimes they don't even get equal treatment, and the ticket price is always higher. The attitude is always worse, and the treatment is always different. Who wouldn’t be disappointed if the number of times is too many?
Finally, I hope that all veteran singers can realize that because of the beautiful childhood memories, everyone has been tolerant enough. At this time, they always cause controversy and their reputations are overturned. It is you who need to reflect.
