After the broadcast of "Singer 2024", "50-year-old lady guarding the country" became a hot search topic. The ability of foreign singers to open the mic without any modification not only made other contestants nervous, but also made many Chinese music fans feel embarrassed. They jokingly said that the style of this stage slipped from Grammy to Strawberry Music Festival, and even weddings and funerals in rural areas. Musicians with different styles gathered together, and it was supposed to present a musical feast that was beautiful and shared. However, due to the obvious gap in singing skills, "the hope of the whole village" was pinned on Naying. Netizens have made various "shaking" interpretations of his cut. Veterans such as Faye Wong, Gong Linna, and Phoenix Legend have been nominated many times, and singer Han Hong's response has pushed this unprecedented "competition" craze to a climax. The rise of the
"please compete" craze shows the audience's enthusiasm and expectations for music competition programs. In this craze, the audience not only pays attention to the ranking and performance of singers, but also pays attention to the power of music itself. They used their own way to cheer for their favorite singers, and at the same time expressed their expectations and blessings for the Chinese music scene. This kind of positive interaction and feedback has undoubtedly injected new impetus into the development of the Chinese music scene.
But we should also see that under the competition system of "Singer 2024" with all open mics, live broadcast without modification, and instant voting, many singers are unable to present consistent high-quality music to the audience without external forces, and even They don’t have the courage to meet such a challenge. What’s even more worrying is that when there is an occasion where a pillar of support is needed, the people nominated by netizens are basically veterans of the last century. The power of the new generation in the Chinese music scene is nowhere to be found. Internal entertainment There are obvious gaps in strength and chronological issues. The addition of foreign singers chanté moore and faouzia not only injected fresh blood into the program, but also stimulated the vitality of the Chinese music scene. Their arrival, just like the "catfish effect", caused waves in the peaceful lake of internal entertainment.
"A single beauty is not spring; a hundred flowers bloom and the whole garden is full of spring." The craze of "please challenge" triggered by "Singer 2024" should not be used to blindly follow the trend of denying diversity, excessive hype for only fans, and should not be interpreted as regional discrimination. , national confrontation. We should also see that what is hidden behind this phenomenon is the vitality and the courage to "not break up but not stand up" that the Chinese music scene urgently needs to activate. Only when
exposes problems can we discover them and solve them better. First of all, we should return to the basics of music and look at this "fighting" craze rationally. Focus more on the power and value of music itself, and let music become a bridge connecting people's hearts. Secondly, we should also advocate a healthy atmosphere of competition and cooperation, reflect on and improve the problems and deficiencies exposed in this craze of domestic entertainment, and let the Chinese music scene continue to develop and grow in a healthy and orderly environment.
We look forward to enjoying the feast of music without borders competing on the same stage. We also look forward to domestic entertainment taking the initiative to innovate under the impact of this crisis, moving towards a healthy development track, and bringing more surprises to the fan base.
