"Singer 2024" has been "out of control" since its first live broadcast on May 10 and continues to dominate the hot search list to this day. In the last episode, when the competition format was temporarily changed, the program team invited Yuan Yawei and Shang Wenjie, who were both popular, to serve as chart-topping singers. There were also many "interesting things" backstage in this episode, and the ratings were as expected. A blast. From unveiling the list, attacking the list to rushing the list, the "Singer" program team adjusted the competition system according to the actual situation, which can be regarded as a clear understanding of the competition system.
June 21st, this Friday, what’s new in “Singer 2024” that welcomes two more chart-topping singers? At 6 pm that day, the official Weibo of Cover News continued to lock in the "singer" with everyone and launched a themed live broadcast. In this issue, we invited senior planners, music critics, and music label managers Sanshi Yiyi and Li Biao, a popular singing teacher at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, to discuss with the cover reporter whether the criterion for singer selection is singing ability or singing ability. The live broadcast that day attracted 1.13 million netizens to watch online.
There are singers first and then there are singing skills. The two complement each other
"The so-called 'singing skills' are actually the use of high and low notes." In San Shiyi's view, people can shape their own musical image after training. In addition to singing, Song selection is also a skill, and a singer with good singing skills can make the audience ignore the small flaws in his performance.

Li Biao seems to have a similar view on the issue of singing skills and singing skills. He took a foreign folk singer he liked as an example, "The singer I like actually has a lot of instability on set, and even has broken sounds, but every time even if I don't hear his lyrics clearly, I can still hear them. Tears came to my eyes. " He believes that musicians must build on style and works before they can talk about technique.
In fact, singing ability is a comprehensive quality that can not only be achieved by practicing voice, but also involves the singer's thinking and refining of emotion and literature. Although singing skills and singing skills complement each other and can be judged separately, Li Ye said: "But for the audience, everyone wants to see works that output emotion and technology at the same time." Because singing skills are the entry point for singers, Sanshiyiyi hopes to In future music programs, we can see more elements that highlight singers.
There are many masters in the forest, Sun Nan "rescued" the singers from the beginning of this season
From the beginning of the broadcast, we can see that in addition to the Chinese music queens, there are also popular young singers of pop music and powerful foreign singers to join, and even 00 Are the new stars in the post-music scene and the diversified guest lineup the result of the program crew’s randomness? In fact, the selection of the program team is ultimately based on the expectations of the audience. "The contestants on the stage either have mysterious trump cards, or they have stability and style in performance or voice." Li Hao said.

"Actually, the program team is very cautious. They want to ensure the performance effect." San Shiyiyi, who had had contact with Huang Xuan's team before, revealed to everyone during the live broadcast that in fact, starting from "Eternal Life", the program team I have already noticed Huang Xuan and have been observing him for a long time. It is only now that we have officially cooperated. "And Huang Xuan can also calm down when singing folk songs. It depends on whether the program team is willing to show this side."
It is worth mentioning that when netizens were anxious about the singer's performance, he once "withdrew from the competition" The controversial Sun Nan is back again with his "Salvation". The difference is that Sun Nan, who returned this time, not only tried to restore his reputation, but his rankings and comments from netizens were completely reversed compared to the last time he participated. In Li Bang's heart, Sun Nan is a very talented singer, and his works can always arouse people's resonance.
When some netizens pointed out that Sun Nan's "Rescue" has not changed much over the years, both musicians believed that this song actually has a hidden mystery. San Shiyi claimed that Sun Nan did not sing by the rules. He would use some small details to stimulate the audience every time."Ignore for the moment the people of our generation who have been listening to his songs since he released them. A singer must have a certain degree of familiarity in order for the audience to truly appreciate it, and the closer it is to the original version, the less likely it is to be distracting." Hot searches for the singer
Isn’t it proportional to hot order output?
"Singer 2024" has been very popular since its launch. However, while it has repeatedly been on the hot search, some netizens have noticed that so far there has not been a hit single in the show. Sanshi Yiyi, who has worked as a TV director, believes: "Whether a hit song can be produced often depends on luck, and the show has just started broadcasting not long ago, so there may be good works later."
Not only that, Sanshi Yiyi also mentioned during the live broadcast A key piece of information is that due to strict restrictions on lyrics and music copyright, when singers choose songs now, their choices will be relatively narrow compared to previous seasons. In addition, there are several layers of review between teams, so how to minimize communication costs is what musicians and teams need to think about now.
At the end of the chat, Li Ye also mentioned some of his expectations for the next show: "I hope foreign singers will not stay in their comfort zone all the time and try Chinese songs. Our Chinese songs also have unique charm; Chinese singers can organically integrate national elements." In the work, it doesn’t have to be large selections or mechanical repetitions.” Sanshi said jokingly: “It would be an interesting scene to hear foreign singers sing “Uneasy”.
