"Singer 2024", Na Ying was still fighting one against two. But the situation seems to have changed.
Who would have thought that with the release of "The Adventures of Na Ying", "Singer 2024" after four years of absence would become the first hit variety show to ignite domestic entertainment this summer. "Han Hong asks for a fight" has pushed this discussion to a level of heated discussion among the people.
How good was the premiere result of "Singer 2024"?
ranked first among provincial satellite TV in ratings that night. On the second day after it was launched, the cumulative views exceeded 100 million. The number of hot searches on the entire network exceeded 1,300. The views of Douyin-related videos exceeded 5 billion. It is not enough to describe it as "going wild". Pass.
But the most explosive thing is the ranking in the first issue. Foreign singers Shanti Mo and Fan Xiya took the top two, and Na Ying was third.
Na Ying was extremely nervous in the face of the pressure of live. The hot search continued to ignite discussions.
Now, let's look at the second issue.
's ratings exploded again. Less than half an hour into the live broadcast, Kuyun's ratings peaked at 0.8, far exceeding last week's peak of 0.69. The final peak successfully broke through 1, with an average of 0.9448, almost twice that of the second-place "Running Man 12".
Looking at the rankings again, the first place in is Fan Xia, the second place is Na Ying, the third place is Shanti Mo, the fourth place is Hai Lai Amu, the fifth place is Wang Sulong, the sixth place is Rainie Yang, and the seventh place is Secondhand Rose.
Because the two unveiling singers have double unveiled the list, it also means that two of the seven first-time singers have been eliminated. Based on the results of the first two periods, Secondhand Rose and Rainie Yang were both eliminated. The result of
does not seem surprising.
Judging from the results, it seems that Na Ying still has room for improvement as he said in the last issue. In this issue, he successfully improved one place, but has the Chinese music scene regained its place?
01, Shantimo lost to Hanggai Band, was the loss unjust?
In fact, the first thing Shanti Mo lost in this issue was the competition system.
Hanggai directly chose to challenge the strongest one, which also disrupted the rhythm of her performance. When she sang "Superwoman", she hurriedly came on stage, opened her mouth, and the whistle sound was immediately broken.
Next, I lost to song selection and arrangement.
This song is too complicated. The song itself has a strong story, language is a barrier, and the overly gorgeous and complicated arrangement requires the most surging singing method to catch it, which leads to Shanti· whose voice is not in a very good state. Mo, had to work hard to sing big songs and hit high notes.
But even so, this is still a hearty performance because she is so strong.
A female R&B singer who debuted in the 1990s. She has extremely powerful and gorgeous singing skills. She is good at the "dolphin sound" that can break through clouds and crack rocks. This sweeping monk-style singer has not become popular in Europe and the United States. Even if she only has 70% of her power, she is still good enough. Dominate the entire field.
Especially, she is still trying to find the singing method that Chinese audiences love most. In the end, the most touching thing about this song is actually not the high pitch, but the bass.
She completely hit the bass part of the song and supported it with enough chest voice. Under the shadow of the Waterloo-like arrangement and opening mistakes, I still sang a story that made me excited. It was really wonderful.
Let’s talk about Hang Gai’s “Reincarnation”.
is a mixed bag of good and bad.
The good thing is that national music is so charming. The song
perfectly combines Mongolian national music and rock music. As soon as it starts, the audience is transported to the vast grassland. The singing is like a galloping horse, and a few people can sing like a thousand troops. Morin Qin➕Humei sings about life and death, reincarnation, heaven and earth, all things, and all living beings.
This is exactly the song that should appear on the "Singer" stage, our song, the most Chinese song.
Hanggai's performance was also very stable. The song opened with humai, and the chorus circled around like an eagle soaring in the sky. Coupled with the bass and the double lead vocals, the overall listening experience was even more shocking.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, compared to Hanggai's own level, this game is only average.
The prelude is too long, and the live performance of the musical instruments cannot be full and hearty. It lacks a sense of majesty and grandeur, as well as the depth of aftertaste and the beauty of philosophy.
However, it is enough to make many viewers feel excited.
Comprehensive comparison, Shanti Mo’s loss was not unjust, but it was an honor to lose.
02. Na Yingwangci still ranked second, is it reasonable? Vancia wins the championship in a landslide?
Let me just say it directly, the second is reasonable.
This is a beautiful show with flaws, a journey that gets better and better.
Cui Di's song "Break Free" has the retro melody and rough vitality of mainland pop music in the 1990s. It suits Na Ying.
Na Ying also completely let go. She was very confident and sang very relaxedly.
Of course, she was not familiar with the lyrics. In the end, she pointed at the teleprompter with her fingers and sang. There was a sense of joy in a skit, and she actually managed to hold on.
From a certain perspective, this song actually proves why Na Ying is the big sister in the mainland music scene. She is indeed strong. Although
was still a little unfamiliar with the lyrics, he relaxed more and more as he went back, and began to dance naturally, and his breath became smoother and smoother. Finally, he completely integrated himself into the song, breaking away from the tension of the competition and the constraints of rankings. , singing the most important retro atmosphere. In terms of singing skills, Yan Guo Wuhen, and the transposition processing is like lifting a thousand pounds.
Even if there are some ambiguities in the articulation and a wrong lyric, this song is just good to listen to, it is energetic, and it has a kind of millennium romance.
Na Ying’s adaptation is still successful.
This is indeed not a perfect performance. If Na Ying is given more time, the scene will be much better. But on the other hand, it also proves that the most proficient female singer in the Chinese music world is not a clay figure. Na Ying can sing.
So why is Na Ying’s second place reasonable? Because she counterattacked more thoroughly than Shanti Mo and made relatively fewer mistakes.
But Vansia made almost no mistakes, so she should be the champion.
Some netizens said that Yaya looks like the international version of Huang Xiaoyun, and she does feel that way.
When singing Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" this time, you can actually hear that her biggest disadvantage is that she has not really found her own style and complete voice like senior singers such as Na Ying and Shanti Mo. moves.
But she is young, has superb skills, is unique in talent, and has perfect voice tension and timbre. What's more, she enjoys music.
For example, "set fire to the rain" is a European and American hit that Chinese audiences are also familiar with, but do you think this is a special release? Yes or no, judging from the results, yes, but Van Xia did not force herself to sing this song, she sang it because she really liked it.
Her singing voice is always spinning and jumping on the stage. The high notes are thrown out one after another as if they are free. The texture of her voice is always online. She dares to show off her skills in the chorus without any mistakes.
She is like a God-selected "Singer" singer, because she is so suitable for this stage. Even though her musical skills and realm are far less than those of the two eldest sisters in the music industry, she is afraid of being young.
If she keeps singing in her current state until the end, it won't be surprising even if she becomes the youngest singer in "Singer".
03. Is Huang Xuan’s performance too unique? Can it be compared with second-hand roses?
When Huang Xuan sang "Only on the C Floor", Mango's ratings experienced a brief decline. Perhaps some viewers went to Yangba at this time to take a look at Mr. Xiao Fan's progress, and then tuned back.
How does Huang Xuan sing?
From the perspective of musical skills and stage performance, it is very good. From a universal perspective, it's terrible.
let’s talk first.
This jazz song is quite difficult in itself. It not only tests vocal skills and rhythm, but also includes difficult techniques such as tearing high-pitched mixed vocals. In short, it is difficult to sing.
But there is no problem with Huang Xuan's performance. He is extremely relaxed and can sing with ease. He is just enjoying the stage. It also well demonstrates his strong arrangement and production skills, solid voice skills, especially the outstanding A sense of rhythm.
It's no coincidence that the Golden Melody Award favored him. What he does is pop music that belongs to this era.
But this is also why many viewers change channels, because the biggest feature of pop music in this era is that it is niche, not popular.
For many viewers who are not familiar with or accustomed to jazz, there is only one feeling: it is out of tune.
But simply comparing him with second-hand roses is actually wrong.
The song sung by Secondhand Rose is "Ode to Sister-in-law". The song selection is very bold, the arrangement has its own style, and it also sings their feelings for the land of Northeast China.
But to be honest, adaptations are still hard to please.
In particular, Li Na’s original song is a standard popular song and the theme song of the Anti-Japanese War drama in the 1990s. Secondhand Rose wants to use its own way to sing the weight of time and maternal affection in the white mountains and black waters. It is too difficult to impress the public. .
If Huang Xuan is too foreign-styled, Secondhand Rose is too earthy. They are still kings on their stage, but on the "Singer" stage, it is difficult for them to become the king in the end.
However, a performance that cannot win a big victory does not deserve enough respect. Nowadays, many netizens’ comments are too aggressive.
Even if it is a second-hand rose, it was only eliminated on the "Singer 2024" stage, that's all.
04. Is the performance of Chinese singers really that bad?
Let’s talk about other singers.
Let’s talk about Rainie Yang first, “Songs for No One” is still not a very good song selection.
Some people may ask why the wrong choice is made even in every performance. The answer is that Rainie Yang may not be a very suitable singer for the singer stage.
In fact, she was able to sing on the stages of "The Sound of Life" and "Sister Lang", so why can't she be a singer?
Because the stage of "Singer" is very selective, and she is good at the delicate singing style, no matter how she chooses the songs, it will not be right. If you sing hard, it will be easily deformed.
For example, in this scene, Rainie Yang’s problem is not the treble part, but that the bass part is really too unstable.
I don’t think it’s because she doesn’t have this kind of singing skills, but because she cares about one thing and not the other. It might be better to prove yourself on a different stage.
Wang Sulong's "Flesh and Blood" has also been greatly adapted. The roaring feeling in the final arrangement should be to prove one's singing skills, but the more excessive the effort, the harder it is to perfect the effect, and the final narration is more obvious. The flaws in the arrangement are that this piece is more suitable for an evening party rather than a competition performance.
Hailai Amu sang Yu Quan's "Could It Be", and his performance was much better than before.
When he sang other people's songs, it was easier for people to listen to his singing. In fact, Hailai Amu's voice condition is good, and his performance is also good. My own style is filled with a rough feeling of life, and singing with devotion is actually moving.
just looks a little too much like Yang Kun.
But it was right to choose a bitter love song. In fact, on the current stage, I really don’t think anyone can sing a bitter love song better than him.
05. Has the Chinese music scene regained its place?
Even if it is replaced with a new live broadcast shell, "Singer 2024" is still essentially a music competition show. The
program has indeed found the best way to break the circle, whether it is intentional or unintentional, but the result is that the public has paid attention.
This solved in one fell swoop the problems that had been criticized in the first eight seasons: boring song selection, excessive showmanship, especially the excessive consumption of Chinese pop music resources.
Because the suspense of the show is different.
But a new question arises. Can the program regain its place in the Chinese music scene?
Although this in itself may be a deviation, even the program team itself does not accept this formulation.
Because although "Singer" is a competition show, it is not the Olympics after all.
There are advantages and disadvantages in singing skills, but it is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior musical appeal.
Some netizens divided the competing singers into several distinct systems such as "Grammy", "Golden Melody Awards", "Avenue of Stars" and "Strawberry Music Festival". The ridicule also explained that the singers have different styles and performance forms. Different audiences are different, so it may not be fair to compare them on one track.
It is not necessarily fair for Chinese singers to compete with foreign singers in terms of loudness, transposition, rhythm and improvisation.
Yes, "Singer" should not just be a competitive stage.
It is also a stage for communication.
However, the audience’s music experience is the most direct.
Besides, there is always music that can transcend all boundaries. Good is good.
At that time, Tengger sang "Paradise" on the "Singer" stage. The powerful sound seems to travel through the years and the sky, making the audience feel like they are in heaven.
Sister Jieshi, who won the King of Songs title back then, was shocked on the spot.
In fact, some netizens are trying their best to troll people on the Internet. They are actually expressing a kind of emotion. The ridicule cannot be taken seriously, but the audience's dissatisfaction with the Chinese music scene in recent years is real.
does not necessarily have to beat foreign singers on the stage of "Singer 2024", and winning doesn't mean anything.
The audience just wants to see that the Chinese music scene, which has been obsessed with music over the years, can stand up and put on some truly decent stages.
We hope that the Chinese music scene will regain its place, not just because Na Ying takes first place, but that Chinese singers will regain respect for music, respect for the audience, and regain the aesthetics of music.
The essence of "Singer" is still a variety show.
It cannot bear the heavy responsibility of saving the Chinese music scene, but it always seems to be able to "poke the lungs of the audience" and poke the pain points of Chinese music.
So who comes to the rescue is actually not that important, and the ranking is even less important. What is important is whether the remaining "Singer 2024" can change the public's disappointment in Chinese music.
The confidence of the audience is back, and the Chinese pop music scene is back.
