's old variety show " Singer " is back, and it became an instant hit when it first aired. The key is to dare to live broadcast to see the true meaning: all on the mic, no editing, no editing. It's been a long time since I've seen such a real "reality show". The first ranking determined by this model has triggered continuous and widespread heated discussions.
In the past, the most criticized thing about this type of program was the seniority. You could guess who was number one this season just by looking at the lineup. But in this year's first competition, Naying, the oldest player in , was ranked third - not the absolute first place that the public expected before the game. Ranking ahead of Naying are two foreign singers: 57-year-old American singer Shanti Moe, and Canadian singer Vancia, who was born in 2000. Rainie Yang , Wang Sulong , Second-hand Rose and Hailai Amu are in the rear. There are a thousand unknown possibilities on the stage of
live broadcast. Compared to Shanti Mo Xingyun, who sings more and more like a flowing stream, and whose whistle goes straight to the heaven and earth, Na Ying, who is the same age as us, is visibly nervous.
At this moment, we accompanied that sister to realize that the most unsafe place in the world is the stage.
I think back to when Sun Nan competed in "I Am a Singer" nine years ago, Na Ying easily chewed melon seeds and taught him to sing "Suddenly Want to Love You" and said, "If we can't win first, we will win second. If we can't win second, we will win." Let’s take third place. If we can’t take third place, please go home quickly.” That final night was also broadcast live. The biggest news was that when the singers who were eliminated in the first round were announced, Sun Nan announced his withdrawal. Nine years later, it was Naying's turn to take the stage. The stage she faced was more diverse, uneven, and grand, and it was also more real, cruel, and changeable.
"Singer 2024" can be regarded as a powerful sobering agent for the mainland entertainment industry.
Why are Chinese singers afraid of live broadcasts? There is no starting over, no tuning, and everything is open. This is the most basic standard for universities and even middle schools to select the "Top Ten Singers on Campus". However, many singers in China now-can't do it! The "Singer" program team revealed that many big-name singers refused to come as soon as they heard it was a live broadcast. From this point of view, whether it is Na Ying, Rainie Yang, Wang Sulong, etc., they are still brave and deserve recognition.
We should have clearly realized that there are many singers in the mainland music scene who "live broadcast the scene of the car accident and record and play walking CDs". In the past two years, concerts have been booming and lively. Some singers seem to be very powerful, but the performance is very weak. Han Hong criticized this phenomenon, "Technicians can use means to reduce the burden on singers, but this is very inappropriate for the singers themselves." How can it be fair if a competition program that puts the most emphasis on the singing itself is significantly modified in the later stage? It's unfair, and the true sound of nature cannot be highlighted.
Internal entertainment has been practicing hard for a long time. There are flowers blooming in the recording studio, but when transplanted outside the studio, they can only be plastic artificial flowers. Musician Jin Zhiwen was once asked by a host which artist was the best at practicing pronunciation. He lamented that there were so many, and he had to practice every word. He had also seen "artists who recorded every word". When variety shows such as "Youth With You", " Tomorrow's Son ", and "Summer of the Band" became popular, audiences continued to complain that the singing had too many vocal modifications, and even electronic music was modified. The natural tremors of breath when people sing and dance have all disappeared, and everyone is as stable as a rock. Such a singer is of course afraid of the "demon mirror" of live streaming without correcting his or her vocals.
We should be clearly aware that domestic entertainment stages have ignored singing ability for a long time.
TV programs are too focused on looking good on stage, and stand-up singers are accused of being "old-fashioned" and "outdated." Singers and dancers are the most fashionable. Artists spend a lot of time practicing dancing and fitness, focusing on makeup and showing off their vest lines and jaw lines. We saw Lin Zhixuan twisting his body awkwardly in "Breaking Through the Thorns". Na Ying went on " Riding the Wind and Waves " to practice dancing like crazy, and sang "The Sun Never Sets" with a sweet face at the age of fifty while holding a wire. At that time, she was so stressed about dancing that she wanted to quit the competition. Many celebrities even publicly stated: You can lip-sync when singing, but you cannot fake when dancing. Therefore, the dance competition is more pure than the singing competition, and it is a real competition of strength. Such remarks are extremely contemptuous of professional singers and will bear consequences sooner or later.
I often hear complaints: There is a lack of stage in the mainland.Singers who purely follow the path of music will not be able to develop upward space and become big stars. Many people have been busy filming movies and running variety shows, setting up comedians one by one to attract fans for themselves, and they are increasingly lacking confidence and confidence in their professional singing profession. However, singers must always maintain a good voice. Once they change careers or fade out, it will be very difficult to return to the top.
We must be more clearly aware that we need to discover and train more capable singers of the younger generation. It is a blessing to be old and strong, but it cannot be just veterans. Our post-00s generation should also show off their talents and wow the stage.
"Singer" was suspended for four years. One of the main reasons was the depletion of singer resources. Nowadays, singers who have been nominated online to compete in the show, such as Tan Weiwei, Shang Wenjie, Hua Chenyu, , Yuan Yawei, etc. have already appeared on this program.
Today, the sources of singers are more diversified, and traffic is more important. In the era of digital music, another major source of singers is the Internet. For example, Hai Lai Amu this time is a typical Internet singer. He has many Internet songs and can be regarded as top-notch. Hailai Amu was ranked seventh and last in the first episode, and her singing skills were quite controversial. Another major source of talent for singers is talent shows. The era of Super Girl and Fast Boy was a live TV voting, which mainly tested the singing ability of the contestants, and several capable singers were indeed selected. Later " Creation Camp " and "Youth with You" promoted idols, duet singing and dancing groups, pursuing visual effects, and doing great post-production sound editing. Many idols' singing voices are unrecognizable, and the public doesn't know what they sing. In addition, there are more niche circles such as rock bands, where young people are constantly pouring in, and then they are heard and seen.
Four years ago, "Singer" launched "The Year of Play", precisely to promote young singers. Now we need the younger generation in their prime to take over.
Reality must have a cruel side. The show "Singer" has been running for so many years, and I don't know how many deified veteran singers have been disillusioned, lamenting that the hero is short-tempered and ugly. We have seen the king of singers with their own halo, who worked as a mentor in other shows, but was eliminated by the original students in this variety show. A singer who sings for a lifetime is not suitable to participate in this program. In the first round of competition, everyone sang their own special songs, but in each subsequent round they had to make breakthroughs, break the existing routines, and innovate their own stage. The feelings that live in memory hope to remain unchanged, but the current stage in the new era requires new peaks one after another. There is no way to go by the rules, which puts forward higher requirements for singers.
After the first episode of "Singer 2024" was broadcast, public sentiment was high. Singers such as Han Hong, Huang Liling, Ji Minjia, and actors such as Lou Yixiao took the initiative to sign up for the competition. Now the singers revealed in the second issue are Hanggai Band and Huang Xuan. We hope that more touching new songs and more eye-catching newcomers will appear on the show, and the mainland pop music scene will cheer up. Because when the music scene flourishes, so do singers.
"Enjoy music and embrace the world", the full live broadcast of "Singer" saves the singer's self-esteem. A singer standing on the stage must give his all with every sound and every breath he takes. (sand between fingers)
