After the premiere of "Singer 2024", the popularity remains high.
A music variety show actually inspired the audience's national sentiment, which no one would have imagined.
There is a huge disparity in strength between Chinese and foreign contestants. All Chinese singers were wiped out. Netizens became more and more anxious and spontaneously "swayed". There were also well-recognized singers who signed up enthusiastically, and they were bound to make a name for the Chinese music scene.
With the announcement of the first-round double-chart singer playlist of "Singer 2024", netizens' hearts finally dropped.
has been nominated for the Golden Melody Award for four consecutive years. Huang Xuan, known as the dark horse in the music industry, will bring a dynamic and dynamic version of "Up to the C Floor Alone". Judging from his previous performance style, at least he will not be nervous on stage.
Another group of singers, the Hanggai Band, has unlimited hopes.
's competition song "Reincarnation" combines Mongolian traditional music and metal music, using national characteristics to shock foreign countries. Sure enough, the descendants of Genghis Khan were born to conquer Europe.
While netizens are making jokes, it is not difficult to find that "Singer 2024" not only exposed the embarrassing situation of the Chinese music scene, but also tore off the "masks" of the three artists.
ranks first, Rainie Yang.
In the pre-match short film of "Singer 2024", when Rainie Yang was asked "What do you think everyone knows about you", she said bluntly -
"I feel that my friends in mainland China will think that I am an actor more, but I debuted as a singer"
In 2000, Rainie Yang debuted with the group "4 in love". The group disbanded three years later. After that, she became involved in the acting industry and became known to more audiences.
For so many years, Rainie Yang has been proving her identity as a singer.
releases albums, holds concerts, and participates in many music variety shows such as "Flashing Band" and "Our Song", constantly trying to be recognized by the audience.
The stage of "Singer 2024" is the best opportunity for her.
A live scene with full open mic and no tuning can best reflect the singer's strength. However, as soon as Rainie Yang opened her mouth, the fact that her singing skills were weak was exposed.
Maybe she was too nervous when singing. Rainie Yang was obviously out of tune in the first few lines, and after that, many shortcomings were exposed.
's grasp of the breath is unstable, and there is a sense of discontinuity in the transition between true and false sounds. It is impossible to sound from the edge of the vocal cords and change sounds seamlessly, which makes it sound like "plucking onions on a dry land".
Didn’t Li Ronghao teach Rainie Yang to sing at home?
It can be seen that Rainie Yang is trying hard to prove her identity as a singer, but her singing skills are still far behind that of a capable singer.
Instead of participating in various music variety shows, it is better to develop good singing skills and then amaze the audience.
ranked second, Wang Sulong.
Before Wang Sulong came on stage, Teacher He introduced him like this -
"Some people say that he is a music star, holding more than 40 songs with millions of collections in his hands. Some people say that he is a big producer because he has an original album every year. For the album, one person is responsible for the lyrics, music and production, and one person is a team."
It is no exaggeration to use this sentence to describe Wang Sulong.
However, on the stage where singing skills are purely a competition, Wang Sulong is indeed not capable enough. The application of
's technique is a bit monotonous, and it can only use emotion to push the intensity and conquer the audience with appeal. However, Wang Sulong's dynamics when singing are very weak and cannot achieve emotional resonance.
To put it simply, the emotion is in place, but the voice fails to keep up, resulting in intonation problems and over-closure of the vocal cords. The voice in the later stage is not concentrated, switching between stuffy and suffocated and leaking air, which is not amazing.
Many viewers were disappointed with Wang Sulong's performance.
In the past few years, he has participated in many music variety shows such as "Godsend Voice", "Summer of the Band", "Our Song", "Endless Sound", etc., and left many familiar original and cover works.
However, the singing clips released in these programs were all revised versions, which also caused the audience to hear the singer's perfect voice. Over time, Wang Sulong became a powerful singer in the hearts of the audience.
And the audience always prefers people with "strength".
In a previous performance at a music festival, Wang Sulong left a famous scene of "three treasure hunts".
Afterwards, Wang Sulong explained in other programs that the teleprompter suddenly broke down, causing him to forget his lyrics. At that time, some people teased Wang Sulong for using forgotten lyrics to prove that he was really singing.
But, as a singer, isn’t it necessary to memorize the lyrics before performing? Praising "not dedicated" to "dedication", it turns out that "strength" is the best filter for a singer.
The stage of "Singer" shattered Wang Sulong's filter.
The third place is Na Ying.
As the eldest sister in the Chinese music scene, Na Ying's singing skills are undoubted, and her "butterfly resonance" is enough to last her a lifetime. After so many years, no one can shake her position.
But in "Singer 2024", Na Ying "revealed" her secret.
After years of polishing, Na Ying's timbre is more mellow and durable, and has a rustling quality. When singing, the vocal area connection is silky and seamless, and she can maintain a sense of depth in the chest in the higher range.
This is why when she sings high notes, her listening experience is not very high. Her timbre is not sharp but is still full and comfortable. Looking at her singing skills alone, Na Ying is not inferior to the other two European and American players.
However, the battle-hardened diva-level figure was so nervous that she almost exploded after listening to the performance of a foreign post-00s singer.
This also caused her voice to be tight in the first part of the verse, and she slowly let it go in the chorus. She completed her masterpiece without any faults.
The reason is still the embarrassing situation that Chinese music is in. After the recording of the first program of
was completed, Na Ying directly pointed out the difference between "Singer 2024" and other music variety shows in an interview -
"We record programs all year round, after all, it is recorded first (it is not lip-syncing, it is all real)" , it is different from the cruelty of live broadcasts. "
Not only music variety shows, but also music auditions are now beginning to use sound modification to beautify the contestants' voices, making more and more music fans unaware of the singer's true strength. Become a fan of a singer through his “appearance”.
has also caused the threshold for singers to become lower and lower. The older generation of singers have no rivals and are forced to stay in their own comfort zone. Even the little singer Fanxia, who can only be considered an eighth-tier singer in Europe and the United States, would make Na Ying sweat. .
This is the gap.
Conclusion:
In an interview ten years ago, Han Hong also talked about the chaos of "singers" -
"These Chinese pop singers, these stars, how can they be considered stars? They are deceiving themselves, right? So I think China's Celebrities have to put themselves in a good position and know how many bowls of rice they have to eat. "
This sentence still makes people smile.
It was a common thing for singers to sing for real on the mic, but now it has become an obstacle for singers to participate in the program. When did this profession become a profession where real singers are praised.
hopes that after the "Singer 2024" program, the bad atmosphere in the Chinese music scene can be rectified and more capable singers can stand in front of the audience.
What do you think about this?
