"Singer" is an evergreen music stage competition program that has received widespread attention and love from the audience since its launch in 2013. Each season will bring together a group of powerful singers to compete on this stage and show their own strength and music style. However, as time went on, the show also began to face some new challenges.
Just one month before the recording of the "Singer" program in 2024, the program team seems to be still working hard to finalize the starting singer lineup. According to exposed news, the originally planned starting lineup is still changing, and the positions of individual singers have not yet been finalized, resulting in repeated postponements of the recording time. This is mainly due to the fact that many musicians are currently embarking on their own personal concert schedules, making it difficult for the program team to squeeze out gaps in the tight schedules of these singers.
What's interesting is that in this case, some singers who were regarded as "fillers" became the focus. Among them, the one who has attracted the most attention is Li Jiuzhe. As a contestant in "Beyond the Troubles Season 3", Li Jiuzhe's unique musical talent and strong stage performance made him highly praised in the show. Compared with being afraid of "brother exposing", Li Jiuzhe is obviously better at showing off his talents on the pure music competition stage. Therefore, although he is just a fill-in singer, if he really becomes the starting lineup, he will definitely add a lot of excitement to the entire show.
Another replacement singer who was revealed is Kim Hae Shin. The audience is no stranger to this music veteran. Jin Haixin has not only appeared in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times, but also has many classic hits. Her unique voice and excellent stage presence will surely make her stunning appearance on the stage of "Singer". Although she is just filling in for now, no one can ignore her potential to win the championship on this stage.
As for the identity of the third replacement singer, it is still an unsolved mystery. However, there is news that it may be Zhou Hui, a powerful singer. If this news is true, I believe it will further improve the overall strength and thickness of this year's "Singer" lineup.
Of course, in addition to these replacement singers who have been exposed, there are many popular singers who also have high hopes. For example, Wang Leehom has recently returned to the music stage. Although his addition will bring doubts about the program's "little dwarfing the big witch", there is no doubt that Leehom Wang's unique music style will bring a different kind of attraction to the program. In addition, some powerful singers such as Xianzi, Lu Yanliang, Su Yunying and Cao Yang are also considered to be potential "kick-off singers" this season.
At the same time, although the recording of the program is getting closer, the specific situation of the starting singer lineup is still not fully determined. At present, except for Na Ying, the "senior master", the other first-time singers are still mainly new generation singers such as Lu Fang, Shan Yichun, and 74 Ai Yiliang. Compared with the strong lineup of fill-in and kick-out singers, the strength of the starting lineup may be much inferior.
This situation makes people worry whether this year's "Singer" will repeat the same mistakes as "The Year of the Singer". By then, if there is really only Na Ying, a senior singer, in the show, and the rest are new singers, it will undoubtedly cause the entire stage to lose its due balance. What's more serious is that the disparity in the level of new and old singers may also make the ranking of the program lack fairness, or lead to the embarrassing situation of a certain singer being the monopoly for a long time.
Once upon a time, "Singer" was known as the real "Singers' Battlefield" and a stage for singers from all walks of life to show their personal strength. However, if the quality of this year's lineup cannot be guaranteed, it may be difficult for this show to regain its former glory. Once there is an imbalance of power, doubts will inevitably arise and the credibility and reputation of the program will plummet.
Of course, we also hope that the program team can sum up the lessons in time and supplement the strength of this year's "Singer". Whether it is grabbing classics from the "back then" that is too far away, or inviting "band singers" who have always been ignored to participate, it is a good choice. Only when the lineup is strong enough and balanced enough can this well-known brand regain its original intention and continue to become a top stage for singers from all walks of life to compete on the same stage.
