After the broadcast of "Singer 2024", Hailai Amu was criticized verbally and writtenly. Many viewers complained: Who is he? Why sing such a vulgar song? Why should he be on the stage of "Singer"?
Among them, musician Ding Taisheng commented on Hailai Amu: 's singing style is too vulgar.
Hai Lai Amu directly responded in a long article: Maybe my music is not elegant enough, but the music itself has no limitations. For me, it is good if it can move people's hearts.
As soon as this article came out, many viewers complained about Hai Lai Amu: What is ? Nowadays, "local" is valuable. Local eggs, local chickens, and local pork will double the price if you add the word "local".
Some viewers said : Singers like Daolang and Hailai Amu are the good singers who can truly sing into the hearts of ordinary people.
The chain of contempt in the music industry has always existed. Not only will the audience despise each other, but the singers will also despise each other.
The most typical one is of course the Daolang incident. Daolang became popular all over the country with "The First Snow in 2002". Born as a "wild boy", his record sales surpassed those of orthodox singers.
If the awards were based solely on popularity, then Daolang would definitely sweep all the major award ceremonies that year.
However, no matter how much the audience likes Daolang, there is still no place for Daolang in the award ceremony for Daolang Zhenger.
Na Ying once said that Daolang does not have an aesthetic point of view, that is, Daolang's songs are not professional enough and are too slobbery.
Wang Feng once said: Daolang's popularity is a tragedy for the Chinese music scene.
Yang Kun also said: Daolang, is that music?
Twenty years ago, self-media and the Internet were not developed enough. Daolang's music was not recognized by the mainstream in the industry, and fans who liked him had no channels to speak out for him.
But now, Daolang's "grievance" has been cleared. Last year, Daolang released a new song, "Shichahai City", which detonated the entire Internet. Returning after many years, Daolang is still the king. Does anyone know what new songs Na Ying and Wang Feng have released in recent years?
Hai Lai Amu is very similar to Daolang. He is not a singer recognized by the mainstream music circle. He is a "popularly elected singer". The so-called democratically elected singer means a singer who is liked and praised by ordinary people.
Hailai Amu was born in 1993 and is only 31 years old this year. He became a father when he was 20 years old, but his daughter died of illness two months ago. In the same year, he wrote "Aguo Jiqu" in memory of his daughter and started own musical path.
Since then, his compositions "The Song Requester" and "Your Thousands of Waters and Mountains" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Until the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, Hailai Amu and Shan Yichun sang "It's Better to Meet Once Upon a Time", making more audiences aware of him.
Currently, Hailai Amu has nearly 20 million fans on the short video platform, and is the singer with the largest number of short video fans in "Singer 2024".
If Hai Lai A Mu is very vulgar and vulgar, does that mean that Hai Lai A Mu's fans are also vulgar?
What exactly is elegance? What is foreign style? What is advanced?
20 years ago, Phoenix Legend was still called the Cool Fire Group. They burst onto the scene with their song "Above the Moon". However, at that time, like Dao Lang, they were representatives of local singers. The popularity of the Cool Fire Group Far inferior to Daolang.
In 2005, Phoenix Legend won the runner-up spot in "Avenue of Stars". After that, they appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala dozens of times. "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" further opened up their popularity.
But this still cannot change the rustic and vulgar label attached to Phoenix Legend. Although they have been on the stage of CCTV, commercial performances that are willing to invite them are still in the style of a country stage.
But this year, Phoenix Legend finally held a concert. Why didn't they hold it before? Because they feel they have no fans and can’t sell tickets.
But now, Phoenix Legend's concert is sold out. The college student audience in the audience waved their light sticks and collectively sang every song of Phoenix Legend.
What is soil? We used to think that Phoenix Legend was only popular among grandparents, parents and elders. So, Phoenix Legend is now liked by college students, so Phoenix Legend has become high-class?
Phoenix Legend's songs have never changed. Their songs contain love, nature, and the vast world. Phoenix Legend is not earth, Daolang is not earth, and Hai Lai Amu is not earth.
In fact, these three have one thing in common. Daolang’s song brings the desolation and vastness of Xinjiang, Hailai Amu’s song brings the sincerity and simplicity of the Yi people in Sichuan, and Phoenix Legend’s song brings the boldness and grandeur of Inner Mongolia. In their songs , all have our own national characteristics.
Only European and American songs can be called high-end, and only imitating the singing voice of European and American singers can be called art. In fact, we have many powerful folk singers. Lei Jia (original singer of "The World") and Tan Jing are both top-level singers. However, folk songs have always been "niche" and have not been sought after by the popular Chinese music scene.
We always say that what is national is what is global. We think that high-end R&B is actually black music. There are also many European and American singers who sing American country music. If you look closely, they all have strong local characteristics. Maybe it’s time to carry forward our own national music!
