Since today (July 2) "Singer 2024" announced the double-unveiling singers in the ultimate unveiling competition, namely c-block and Xu Jun, related hot searches have been going up over and over again.
The jokers who couldn't sit still took action one after another: They thought it was a Grammy award in Changsha, but they ended up waiting for the music festival.
Some people also think that at least this way someone can fight Wang Sulong. Can Wang Sulong really survive to the end with one bar of electricity?
Here comes the question, what are the origins of c-block and Xu Jun? Why did so many singers sign up and the program team finally selected them to perform?
In this article, letâs talk about c-block first. You may not be familiar with the name of the group, but netizens are more or less familiar with it. People who have watched various rap shows will recognize them. The three are Sheng Yu, Liu Cong, and Kung Fu Fat.
Liu Cong should be the most familiar to everyone. He has participated in "China New Rap 2019";
He is also included in "Brother Overcoming Troubles" in 2021. After appearing on this show, Liu Cong has entered the public eye even more.
However, I personally feel that Liu Cong's smoothest musical performance was in "The Peak Showdown of Chinese Rap". His songs including "Qingfeng Tiao" were very popular and he was praised as a "golden song maker".
Another strong player in the group is Sheng Yu, who won the third place in "China New Rap 2019";
Recently, Sheng Yu did not participate in the new rap series, but went to "Rap Listen to Me" with Jay Chou next door. The program stated that "21savage and Future cannot pass the auditions in Chinese rap variety shows" which triggered heated discussions among netizens.
Kung Fu Fat participated in New Rap in 2018. From New Rap to the peak showdown, he has a strong sense of presence.
The song "Generation" once made many rappers cry, and his solid lyric writing skills also made him known as the "King of Xiangjiang Ci".
There is another piece of trivia: Kung Fu Fat is Zhang Yixingâs classmate.
The two also collaborated on a song called "Xiangjiang Water".
At this point, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many rappers, but only c-block can be on "Singer", because they are Hunan rappers, and Changsha is also their base camp! The first mixtape released by
in the early years was called "Xiang Show". In 2007, it was featured on Hunan Economic TV's "The More Policy the Happier". There were seven of them at that time. Later, due to various reasons such as graduation and work, they became the current trio.
Later, with more and more works, the group became more and more popular. They also appeared on programs such as "Happy Camp" and "Tian Tian Shang Shang".
has also appeared on Mango's concert.
So before they appeared in the "New Rap" series, they had already been inextricably linked with Mang-style programs. Many Hunan friends also knew c-block from watching the program.
However, I personally feel that c-blockâs appearance on the stage of âSinger 2024â not only brings the âhome fieldâ advantage, but also their unique âjianghu flowâ style, which is very suitable for an âinternationalâ show like âSinger 2024â Ambition is displayed on the stage.
Although this season took the international route and invited many foreign vocals, including the previous appearance of Duan Mei, which was also amazing, netizens lamented the difficulty of "defending the country". Of course, just a program does not have to rise to the level of "guarding the country", but while increasing the public's international vision, the program also does not forget to include works that reflect China's regional characteristics.
For example, when we first invited Hanggai, we basically let Hanggaiâs unique ethnic style and exotic works collide with the popular works we are familiar with.
The same goes for second-hand roses. Unfortunately, second-hand roses are not as brilliant in "Singer 2024" as they were in "Summer of the Band 3". Maybe the suits limit their souls;
Until now, Tan Weiwei has brought "Orchid Flowers" with The national rock style shocked people, and everyone discovered that the original "Second Hand Rose" style would not be inconsistent if it appeared on "Singer 2024" as long as the arrangement is right.Moreover, national style can also become one of the strategies for competing with foreign vocals. During the battle, music works with Chinese regional characteristics can be exported.
Although rappers do not flaunt their singing skills, they are better because of their stronger creative ability and unique music style. The choice of c-block is suitable in terms of audience popularity and display of music genres. At least in terms of the meaning of the song "Rivers and Rivers", it can very well express the effect that the program team wants to achieve: "Only when everyone takes action can a hundred schools of thought contend."
Itâs just that many viewers have developed specific evaluation standards for âsingerâ programs. It seems that only big songs and soaring high notes can give people an excellent live audio-visual experience. Therefore, whether rappersâ full-on mic live broadcasts are feasible or not still depends on It depends on the live performance and the taste of the public judges.
At this point, there are all kinds of completely different types of singers on the stage of "Singer 2024". There are foreign vocals that can blow up the scene, there are those who can play jazz and r&b, there are those who can create, and there are senior singers...and now... Does the presence of rappers make the show more diverse, or does it make it more "a chaotic dance of demons"?
I am also very curious. Are you optimistic about the rapper's unveiling of the "singer"? Letâs talk in the comment area!
