"Singer 2024" exploded. This music variety show, which was restarted as a live broadcast after 4 years, has become a "war to defend the Chinese music scene" in the eyes of many netizens due to the sharp contrast in the performance of the singers on the stage, and has led to the "Help Na Ying shake people" and "Han Hong's real name" Topics such as "please fight" have been on the hot searches one after another.

, I have to say that "Singer 2024", which has been off the air for four years and is still a master of all things when it comes back, knows how to handle the traffic code - all on the mic, no tuning, one take (one time) (passed) The "Real Singing Challenge" gameplay of the live broadcast does not follow conventional routines. The real performance of the seven singers without any modifications brings a sense of "foreign singers defeating the Chinese music scene", which will be Full of topicality.

Singers have nationalities, but music knows no borders. Several Chinese and foreign singers competed on the same stage without modifying their music during the live broadcast. In the end, the top two performers were all foreign singers. It is difficult not to trigger various interpretations. Netizens "clicked" online and singers formed a group to "please compete" to start the extra chapter of the competition, which can be regarded as using the Internet co-creation of "entertainment to respond to entertainment" to help spread the popularity of the program.

Regarding this matter, netizens either made jokes in the name of "the Chinese music scene cannot lose" or saw the strength gap exposed by the blessing of "technology and hard work" such as "technology and hard work" such as the Chinese and foreign singers who appeared on the stage did not have sound cards, etc. All perfectly normal. But we must also be wary. Some people have raised this type of entertainment topic to a level it shouldn't be. On the basis of over-emphasis on the national elements of music competition, they have rendered it into a "competition" with a geopolitical tone—— That is both a misunderstanding and boring.

On the Internet, because Na Ying has become the "hope of the whole village", many people are crazy about making jokes such as "A sixty-year-old man guarding the country" and "Battle in Changsha". There are also many people who take Na Ying's perspective and help her move people around. "Reinforcements".

can see that at a time when the post-metaphorical culture with "cool and cute" foundation has set up camp on the Internet, and making memes and making memes has become the new generation's Internet surfing hobby, "Singer 2024", which was originally entertaining, has become "Singer 2024" It is inevitable that meme enthusiasts will use it as material to make fun of everything. "Before watching it, I thought it was 'The Singer Challenges Na Ying Ji', but after watching it, I realized it was 'The Adventures of Na Ying'" and other ridicules also added laughter to the public and added selling points to the program.

Under the background that star halo, traffic effect, IP accumulation, and sound repair technology have created many singing bubbles for domestic entertainment, many singers cannot get out of the traffic greenhouse where "singing depends on millions of sound repairers", " The real level difference of singers in the "streaking" state presented in the program "Singer 2024" has indeed brought a lot of inspiration to Chinese singers: Don't regard the recording studio production that has been repeatedly re-recorded as a "perfect scene", and use the post-repair technology to It's a mistake to think of "exploding singing skills". Only those who have the ability are not afraid of real singing.

Just as the two foreign singers on the stage may not represent the average level of all foreign singers, the Chinese singers on the stage cannot represent the level of all Chinese singers. They can only represent themselves. It is said that true gold is not afraid of fire, and true singing skills are not afraid of opening up the microphone. A capable singer has given a stable performance, and it is indeed worthy of all singers to learn from.

In this sense, there is nothing wrong with making fun of or reflecting on it, but there is no need to exaggerate the dimension beyond music. "Singer 2024" is a stage for music exchange and mutual learning. Since it is a music variety show, it should first let music belong to music. music is the greatest common denominator of communication. The extension of the antagonistic mentality beyond "competition" is undoubtedly a misunderstanding of the value of cross-cultural communication.

The charm of music lies in its ability to break down barriers and promote communication. Even if a competition model is used, the purpose of the "competition" is to force singers to learn from each other and break through themselves. As the program team's statement said, "Enjoying music, gaining close friends, maintaining communication, and embracing the world" is the original intention. "Winning is just a part of the singer's journey. Welcome is the destination of music."

To put it bluntly, it is just a variety show. If it rises to a too high level, it will go too far.
