As a phenomenal music variety show on Mango, "I Am a Singer" is indeed the white moonlight of many viewers. The show became a hit after it was broadcast in 2013. It not only made celebrities such as Lin Zhixuan, Huang Qishan, Tang Ziqi, Yang Zongwei and other singers, but also made the domestic entertainment music market feel proud.
For many viewers, "I Am a Singer" has become one of the weekly anticipated projects. It carries not only music, but also feelings and memories.
In 2020, the reputation of "The Year of the Singer" dropped significantly after it was broadcast, and the program was officially suspended. After four years, "Singer 2024" has returned with a bang, stirring up waves with one stone. Many people's expectations have been raised, and everyone also believes in the gold content of the word "Singer" in Mango.
Mango also paid enough attention to this trump card IP that it specially set aside a prime time slot on Friday, conducted various publicity campaigns in the early stage, and even held a global press conference. But when the final starting lineup was announced, many people's hearts finally died, and all their expectations were in vain.
The first singers of "Singer 2024" are Na Ying, Hai Lai Amu, Secondhand Rose, Rainie Yang, Wang Sulong, chanté moore, and faouzia.
Neither Mars Brother nor Park Chae Young appeared in the lineup, and the Australian rose became a second-hand rose. Netizens couldn't help but sigh: The lineup is so popular, the program should be renamed "Singer·The Year of the Sinking".
Director Xiang Xiao also responded to the issue of the lineup: "Singer 2024" not only requires singers to have the courage to challenge, but also needs a fixed schedule to cooperate with the competition. Therefore, many people cannot come, so the current team is formed.
html On the evening of May 10th, "Singer 2024" finally had its premiere, broadcast live on the dual platforms of Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV.
Although the guest lineup is not favored by the outside world, the influence and appeal of this IP cannot be ignored. Mango is still the biggest winner, and there is still no internal entertainment program that can compete with it.
After the premiere of "Singer 2024", social media was abuzz and it directly took the first place in the hot search. Judging from Kuyun's real-time ratings data, the program's ratings quickly exceeded 0.5, and the ratings continued to rise, reaching a peak of over 0.67, winning the title of satellite TV ratings champion in the same period.
In the first episode of the show, the 7 first-time singers all performed their own classics. The overall strength of the 7 stages explained "the differences in the world". From multiple dimensions such as singing skills, stage performance, and relaxation, the gap between domestic singers and foreign singers is very obvious.
The final results of the competition were basically in line with the public's expectations - 1st place Chanté Moore, 2nd place Faouzia, 3rd place Na Ying, 4th place Wang Sulong, 5th second-hand rose, 6th place Rainie Yang, 7th place Hai Come to Amu.
's powerful new voice faouzia was the first to take the stage, and her song "Crazy" ignited the audience. She freely switched between two singing styles, giving "Singer 2024" a good start and directly calming the big scene.
This post-00s guy immediately reorganized his career when he came out, putting huge pressure on the singers behind him. The whole performance was relaxed and comfortable, the singing skills were very solid, the style was endearing, and the person's appearance was also very popular. If nothing else, Faouzia Ouihya will be a dark horse singer in this season's show.
Singer Hailai Amu has released many songs out of the music industry in recent years. This time he chose the song "Your Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains". It was clear that he longed for this stage. The whole performance was very emotional and immersive, and the uncles and aunts in the audience had their eyes wet.
But Hailai Amu obviously could not catch the atmosphere created by faouzia ouihya, and the momentum suddenly weakened, as if changing the channel from the Grammy Awards to the Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala. Hailai Amu is destined to be a controversial figure among the guests. The audience for his songs and singing style is different from other singers. People who like to listen must have a reason, and the ratings can directly reach above 0.6. No Of course those who like it will not catch a cold.
Rainie Yang brought the song "Take Me Away", a song full of memories. Maybe the audience's psychological expectations were too high, and the "Cheng-style singing" didn't work this time. Rainie Yang obviously made a mistake in her song selection. The whole performance was not very stable and difficult to control. It was hovering on the edge of being out of tune, which made people feel very worried.
Na Ying chose the masterpiece "Mo" that is well known to the audience. The queen was obviously too nervous. The first half of the singing was very tight, but the strength was there. The second half was adjusted, and the high notes directly exploded, instantly grabbing the audience's attention. ear.
Wang Sulong carefully performed the song "Thinking of Us", and his singing skills were relatively stable, even exceeding many people's expectations. However, the arrangement of the song itself is not good, and the singing is relatively bland, which does not leave a deep impression on people. It deserves praise for daring to sing new songs on the competitive stage.
chanté moore's song "if i ain't got you" directly heated up the place. He is a natural stage singer, and he is a dimensional striker when he opens his mouth. He has no psychological baggage at all, and he can sing with ease. Na Ying in the audience is jealous when he sees it. I believe it Domestic singers will also feel unprecedented pressure.
Second-hand Rose Band presented a unique song "Monkey Play". The atmosphere of the entire stage was very good, and the audience's atmosphere was also aroused. However, this kind of shout-out performance also has a limited audience. Like it People who like it will be very happy, and people who don't like it will not catch a cold at all.
Overall, the first episode of "Singer 2024" has both surprises and disappointments. 's two foreign sisters were full of firepower and became dark horses. Rainie Yang and Wang Sulong's performance was not satisfactory, while the audience had mixed praise and criticism for singers such as Hailai Amu and Secondhand Rose.
What’s surprising is that “real live, real live” is the biggest highlight of this season’s program, and it also brings a new viewing experience. The format of live broadcast is a great test for the singer's singing skills. The singer faces various unknown situations, and the audience in front of the screen has a full sense of immersion.
The program team used multiple cameras to conduct the live broadcast. Whether singing or not, there were people watching the whole process. The singers were also very nervous. You have never seen Na Ying so nervous and cramped. The stars have lost their last layer of halo and truly returned to the stage as singers. The audience was nervous and heartbeating throughout the whole process. This heartbeat stimulation feels like watching the Spring Festival Gala. This is also the charm of "Singer 2024".
What’s disappointing is that after so many years, the show’s old habits have still not gotten rid of. Before each singer takes the stage, there will be a lot of interviews interspersed with it. The host Shen Mengchen has various awkward conversations with the guests, making the singers even more nervous and the audience waiting impatiently. The announcement of the results was still mysterious, and the person drinking water changed from Hong Tao to He Jiong.
He Jiong and Hu Haiquan are co-hosts. Large-scale live broadcasts cannot be without He Jiong. His eloquent opening remarks instantly bring the audience's memory back to the precious memories of the show, giving people a sense of intimacy and healing.
The program team specially invited Hu Haiquan to be the speaker, and anyone with a discerning eye can see its intention. However, Hu Haiquan's overall condition was indeed not ideal. His body was severely put on weight, and he was very nervous and cramped in front of the camera during the live broadcast. He made a mistake at the beginning and felt that his whole body was about to break. He kept talking, which tested He Jiong's ability to save the scene throughout the whole process.
He Jiong alone is enough to support the show. In fact, there is no need to add Hu Haiquan. With him, he has become a hindrance to the show.
Finally, the advertisements of "Singer 2024" are still pervasive, and the audience's viewing experience is also greatly reduced, but this also illustrates the strong attraction of the program to the sponsors.
