"Singer 2024", and the discussion among netizens is still unabated.
Among them, Huang Xuan, who was successfully released on the list, has become one of the focuses of debate among netizens. Some people think that his singing is like a "practice", while others think that his singing is unique and beautiful. People who don't understand it have no "taste".
The question is, why did Huang Xuan's performance cause so much controversy?
We have sorted out the complaints from netizens. The main points are: the lyrics are too stupid; the music is too weird; the singing is too greasy. Many people find it unacceptable.
Let’s put the stage aside for now and take a look at the song “Going Up to C Floor Alone”.
The English name of this song is "once in a blue moon", which implies the meaning of "once in a blue moon", referring to the chance encounter between the male and female protagonists. It echoes the first line of the lyrics "The bright moon goes up to the west building alone".
The design of the original lyrics is full of imagination and ingenuity. "The bright moon alone goes up to the west tower" and "Noah opened the ark" have become interesting correspondences, expressing that in a love, one person is "Stay", the protagonist missed each other for a long time, and used a very graphic description to convey it:
"I miss you and Tumi, but pretend not to care. Time hides secrets, like foreshadowing that has been buried for thousands of years." , biting a pen and writing a diary, eating watermelon and watching a movie, the scenery/only myself"...
But in the end, the conversation changed again. The two people seemed to have met in a certain time and space (or they may not have met), and one of them may be thinking , when your head turns gray, "As long as you nod, I will help you cross the road and call you old woman"; the most special thing about
is that the original song was a collaboration between Huang Xuan and Fan Xiaoxuan, and Huang Xuan sang "Call you a little bit" At the same time as "old woman", Fan Xiaoxuan harmonized with "call you old man". This longing across time and space seems to have an echoing ending.
Moreover, the meme "Going Alone to the C Building" must be taken from "Meeting Happily, Silently Going to the West Building Alone" written by Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The original poem is about the sorrow of parting, and "Going Alone to the C Building" cleverly uses it. This classic sentence, written into a playful and off-the-wall song, is really worth pondering.
The lyrics were written by Huang Xuan and Yao Xiaomin of Wangfu Band. Previously in "Summer of the Band", Wu Qingfeng also said, "I have been listening to your songs since I was a child." Around the time of 2004 when independent bands frequently appeared, Wang Fu is also a treasure band in the eyes of many music fans.
"Only on the C Floor" directed by Yao Xiaomin is naturally deeply imprinted with Wangfu's brand. The lyrics are wild and unconstrained, and the music is joyful and unique. Huang Xuan specifically defines "cyberfunk" for the ep in which this song is located. Universe expresses the integration of jazz, soul, funk, r&b and other genres. But he felt that his music was closer to funk, so he replaced "punk" and created a new word.
The three songs in "Circus" are like the three chapters in a novel, with many designs and thoughts hidden in them. "Alone on the C Floor" is the concluding chapter.
Coincidentally, Fan Xiaoxuan's 2001 album "Peerless Famous Actors" also had a song called "Circus". Huang Xuan felt that Fan Xiaoxuan could control many different styles in music, so he invited her to collaborate. As soon as he heard the demo , Fan Xiaoxuan was attracted by his singing skills and Yao Xiaomin's lyrics, and immediately agreed to cooperate, which resulted in the song "Alone on the C Floor" that amazed many music fans.
And Mango Channel discovered this treasure song very early. Sister Lang used this song in the first season. Huang Shengyi performed it with Jin Chen and Jin Sha. At that time, it did not arouse any heated discussion among netizens about the lyrics. Therefore, the song itself is not a "weird song", and it is even more reasonable in terms of lyrics and music.
But why did Huang Xuan's appearance on "Singer 2024" trigger polarizing comments?
An important reason is that the version of "Singer 2024" in "Single C Floor" is very different from the original version.Let's start with "mary mary count to 3", which lacks the eloquent feeling of the original version of "Ming Yue Goes Up C Floor Alone";
and the absence of female vocals makes it more difficult for Huang Xuan to sing. His strength There is no doubt that it is indeed very powerful to be able to sing the whole song in a relaxed manner, but the singing method of rising and falling, and switching breaths very quickly will make people wonder: What on earth is he singing?
Moreover, the live arrangement seemed to pay more attention to the aspect of "showing off skills". The original sense of out-of-control overlapping narratives in the lyrics was broken, replaced by strange sentence fragmentation, and with the addition of drum beats, it became "Call you! Call me! Old woman!" sense of rhythm. The front part of
was hard to hear, but the word "old woman" stood out in the back. Netizens in front of the TV felt as if they had been scolded as an old woman.
The next part continues to be sung according to the original song. There are also changes in the arrangement and the rhythm is faster. There is only the old woman without the husband. The audience only feels that this person has been scolding the "old woman"...
Previous What makes the public find it so confusing is the lyrics of "Miss My Lover", "Your mother didn't tell you", which seems to be cursing in the inappropriate arrangement.
After Huang Xuan finished singing, "Old Woman" also became a hot search.
Many people find it strange to sing along with lyrics and music. Everyone feels that Huang Xuan's style as a singer is really hard to accept.
Another group of music fans feel that Huang Xuan's performance is really very relaxed, and his ability to control music is very strong. A simple comparison, netizens only need to sing along with his way to know his song. How difficult it was, but under the full live broadcast, he could still sing so naturally, without making too many mistakes, and his singing skills were indeed nothing to say.
In fact, not all Huang Xuan's songs are weird. The interlude "One Day" in "Want to See You" was sung by Huang Xuan. It is very fresh and natural. Who said that a bald head can't sing love songs~
I can only say that in "Singer" On this stage, as a "chart-revealing singer" who had not been well-known in the mainland before, Huang Xuan indeed produced his own masterpiece. "Only on the C Floor" itself is a masterpiece, but the arrangement was too ostentatious. It reveals the meaning of the song itself and allows the audience to accept the singer's music as if separated by a veil.
However, it is better to have discussion than to have no recognition. The most interesting thing about Huang Xuan is probably his "naturally familiar" and super e personality. It was really funny that he was obsessed with Hang Gai at the scene!
is also very curious. After letting the audience experience a "durian"-style interpretation this time (some people like it and some don't like it), what other tricks will he use? Can you sing a love song like "One Day"?
I'm afraid that once you assume the role of "Dwayne Johnson", you might laugh when you see him singing love songs. So, as a comedian, why not become a host in "Singer"!
