In December last year, Mayday was accused of half-open mic lip-syncing, and the controversy broke out. The focus of the questioning was the Shanghai venue. Then the relevant departments in Shanghai intervened in the investigation. After nearly five months of investigation, the results have now been announced.
Some media called the Shanghai Cultural Inspection Hotline on related topics, and the staff responded, saying: "During the Shanghai Mayday Concert in November 2023, the Shanghai Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau Law Enforcement Corps arranged law enforcement personnel to supervise the concert site. , After verification, no illegal activities involved in your report were found . "
Subsequently, "Law enforcement authorities did not find any illegal activities at the Mayday Shanghai concert" which attracted the attention of netizens.
Regarding this result, netizens have different opinions. Some netizens think that half-opening the mic on Mayday is not lip-synching, so the survey results are not surprising. Some netizens think that it is so obvious, how can it be explained. Some netizens simply suggested that Mayday go to "Singer 2024". After all, if he wanted to prove whether he was really capable, he would broadcast live with all the microphones on and perform ten beats e6.
In fact, this survey result is indeed not surprising. According to popular science among netizens, according to relevant regulations, "lip-syncing" that is illegal refers to lip-synching with the mic completely closed, which is considered lip-synching, while Mayday uses half-open mics and pad sounds. Or a mix of real and fake, 90% of the recording + 10% of the vocals is also considered half-open mic. As long as the mic is not completely closed, it is not lip-synching.
This explains why the voice of lead singer Ashin is young and breathless at times, and the sense of presence is completely different. After the incident, the concert they broadcast live was more realistic. There were out-of-tune and floating sounds, and there was an obvious sense of difficulty in high notes. All we can say is that the results of the investigation are not unexpected. I believe that Mayday is also familiar with the relevant regulations. Indeed, lip-synching is not allowed under the regulations.
However, it is a ticketed performance, with a large number of pad sounds and a mix of real and fake singing, which somewhat illustrates the singer's own strength. Of course, fans may say that it’s normal for them to be unable to sing as they get older, and it’s understandable that they need pads. But in fact, these are all external reasons. The real problem is that you just need to play fewer shows, preserve your condition, and don’t consume too much. , there is no need for a half-open mic or a mix of real and fake songs, and fans will have a better experience. It's a pity that their eating style still affects the perception to some extent.
Some netizens also interpreted this in detail and believed that "no illegal behavior was found". They only said that it was not illegal, but did not say whether it was lip-syncing, so they still believed that there was a lot of controversy. It also called for a public notification and the determination criteria to be publicized in order to popularize science.
Some netizens even think that this definition of lip-syncing is too flawed. If pad sounds and half-mics are not considered lip-synching, then some singers will learn to do it in the future.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this, because "Singer 2024" has already taken off the fig leaf. What has happened has already happened, so there is nothing to worry about. Isn't it ugly enough that "Singer 2024" relies on Na Ying to support the situation alone?
Over the years, party live broadcasts have relied on lip-syncing and half-open mics to fix the sound, and concerts have relied on a mixture of real and fake pad sounds. Who can withstand the test of the current live broadcast? What's more, the first live broadcast of "Singer" was questioned for delay in editing.
It's a very interesting phenomenon. There were not many people who resisted the attack when "Singer" was launched. It coincided with the announcement of the Mayday investigation. Taken together, it really is time to think about it!
