On the evening of May 10th, " Singer ", which had been absent for three years, met the audience again. From " I am a singer " to "Singer", this is already the ninth season of this music variety show. There is no need to go into details about the influence of
. The ambition of the program team of the first episode can be seen, and the efforts made in three aspects are visible to the naked eye.
First of all, the stage is more gorgeous. Today, the show has to occupy a place in the increasingly withering and shrinking variety show market. Without some "hard goods", there is no way to satisfy the audience's ever-increasing aesthetics. Therefore, great efforts have been made on the stage of the show, with top-notch choreography and top-notch sound. Compared with the simple stage in the first season of 2013, this one is completely different. The use of a large number of lights has improved the quality of the stage and set the atmosphere in place. Based on the advantage of having enough time to set up the stage, it can even be said to be better than 99% of singers. Design and arrangement of personal concerts. They have indeed spent a lot of money and put a lot of effort into this aspect, which demonstrates the determination of the program team to be a "top-notch" music variety show.
The second is the innovative use of broadcast methods. Different from previous audio variety recordings and broadcasts, this time "Singer" is broadcast live in full, with some material interspersed in the middle, giving the audience a more sense of presence and reality. It also greatly increases the difficulty of the singer's performance, making the performance and competition more exciting. This It is also an excellent means to attract audience attention and enhance the topicality of the program.
The third point is the selection of singers. In the first episode of the program, Na Ying will be in charge, Wang Sulong , Rainie Yang , Hailai Amu, and Secondhand Rose will appear. In addition, two powerful singers, Shante Moore and Fanxia, will be invited. "Foreign aid" somewhat means kicking the club. What is worth pondering is that these two singers are not very well-known in China, so they will shine and surprise people. How about
? After three years of absence, "Wang Zha" has thrown out "three axes". Logically speaking, the show should be extremely powerful! After the first episode was aired, the program officially released its report card, claiming that the ratings across the entire network were record-breaking and there were 416 hot searches on the entire network. It was enough to be proud of, even if the show was not bragging.
But in terms of reputation, it is somewhat overturned. Of the five hot reviews randomly displayed on Douban's homepage, three of them were one-star or two-star negative reviews, complaining about the program in all aspects. For example, one viewer wrote hundreds of words eloquently, criticizing Mango Channel for having no bottom line in marketing and using the names of big European and American brands to gain followers. After half a year, the lineup did not satisfy him. Some viewers who rated it with one star accused "this show has caused great mental damage to me", while the other two viewers who rated it with high ratings were actually overtly praising and subtly criticizing, sarcastically saying, "Based on this performance of domestic singers, fast forward to the finals Na Ying Fight against the Six-Nation Alliance" and "Foreigners must not quit the game."
Let’s talk about why “Singer”, which has a top stage and plays the gimmick of “extreme real live”, has lost its reputation.
On the one hand, the more gorgeous the "hardware" is, the more the weakness of the "software" is highlighted. The technical aspects such as stage, live broadcast method and sound effects are indeed top-notch, it goes without saying. However, relying solely on the platform of Mango Channel, relying on its own efforts, and being affected by the commercial nature of the program, "Singer" cannot reverse the decline of the music market, nor can it avoid the embarrassing current situation of domestic singers withering away.
It’s already 2024. As the top domestic music variety show, Na Ying has to be used as the “anchor” of the show. What’s more, the first episode of the show is so important and plays an important role in laying the foundation for the entire season of the show, but it is sent from Shanghai. Amu and Wang Sulong give people the impression that they are "not strong enough to make up for the traffic". Is this a joke? In fact, what the audience cares more about is the content of the program. The contestants singing well on the stage is more important than anything else. However, this is the shortcoming of the program. How to satisfy the audience?
On the other hand, the matching of singers is too unscientific, and I am not sure whether the program team is helpless or doing something wrong. After watching the first episode, I felt that "domestic singers are too good and were crushed by foreign contestants", which is why I started ridiculing and ridiculing in Douban's short comments, and even hoped that "foreigners must not withdraw from the competition" to ensure the program. Singing quality.
Boxing also pays attention to the weight class. Professional music singers have to measure the singer's strength and singing style to prepare their troops! For example, how could Hailai Amu be put together with Chante Moore? The latter's target domestic singers should be at the level of Liu Huan ; and what does it mean to put second-hand roses on the stage to perform fancy tricks? Why don't you learn from "Summer of the Band"? It would be ridiculous to put Second Hand Rose and Beyond together to compete.
guessed that the show was helpless, maybe because they really couldn't hire a good singer, such as Liu Huan. Everyone hopes to show off their talents in the show, and no one wants to overturn on the stage. Looking at the current situation, there are lip-syncing scandals even when singing. Strong singers are getting old and quitting the show. The program team designed The threshold of live streaming will definitely dissuade many people. What's more, singing live is different from competing with other singers. In the early preparation stage, many of the olive branches offered by the program team were returned. In the end, they could only choose among the singers who agreed to participate, and the result was a five-star hotel. There was a pot of stew that didn't look good, with haphazard combinations and no rules.
speculates that the program is causing trouble. Such an unscientific singer group may also want to use this combination to increase the topic and popularity of the program. Anyway, there are good reviews and negative reviews. If you want to criticize, you must also criticize the singers. The ratings and popularity of the program have been achieved, yes Advertisers have made it clear that the final battle will be to determine which of the singers participating in the show has the thicker skin! Anyway, music variety is music variety, don’t take it too seriously, just let everyone have fun. As for flipping over and making a fool of themselves on stage, there will always be singers who don’t care about their feathers and just want to gain popularity. In this era, how many musicians are really making music? Woolen cloth? Making money is king.
In the third aspect, the selection of tracks is also unsatisfactory.
After the chaos of the "devils" in the early years, there are not many music shows left now, and "Singer" is the best among them. All TV stations across the country are struggling to survive. It is not easy to launch a program. Mango Taiben We should have a sense of responsibility to boost the music market, inject some fresh blood into the industry, and provide a showcase for outstanding works.
However? Even the opening song prepared by the program crew was a pop song that was poorly heard by music lovers. For the sake of stability, domestic singers sang old songs and new ones on stage. Moreover, the program team was coerced by business and could only choose well-known singers, leaving no room for newcomers to compete and showcase.
It is difficult to create new songs and create original ones, and it is even more difficult to create good works that are good-sounding and suitable for music variety shows. Therefore, in the end, such a low-quality and nondescript first episode was presented. The gimmick was greater than the content, the hardware was greater than the software, and foreign singers crushed domestic singers. An embarrassing situation. It can only be said that "Singer 2024", which was promoted vigorously in the early stage and gave the audience great expectations, is nothing more than that.
