In 2013, a few Taiwanese friends came to Beijing to play. They are all young people, and they talk about variety shows from both sides of the Taiwan Strait in their conversation. At that time, the era of big variety shows in the mainland was still coming, and the variety show market was not as booming as it is today. Unexpectedly, a Taiwanese friend took the initiative to talk about the just-concluded "I Am a Singer", the first season of Yuquan's winning the championship. I'm very surprised. Are Taiwanese people watching "I Am a Singer"? I received a positive answer, "My Song" is very popular among young people on the Taiwan Internet. At that time, Taiwan’s ace-star talk show "Kangxi is Coming", had already shown its decline. It was all about the content coming and going, with more and more announcements, and Xiao S's host was often in a daze. Young people don’t like to watch it very much. The appearance of programs like “My Song” with a blockbuster temperament has naturally attracted attention. I remember that I also expressed my feelings at that time that the pattern of variety shows in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the four regions is really about to change.
I didn’t know at that time that this change came so quickly. The fourth season of "I Am a Singer" was aired last night, and "Kangxi is Coming" which was aired for 12 years the day before finally came to an end. Kangxi's farewell ceremony was vigorous, and the entire Chinese region seemed to be missing and reluctant to leave. I am very glad that the programs that accompanied the youth of the 1980s generation in the mainland have left us in such a "decent" way at this moment, leaving us with beautiful memories.
The deceased cannot be pursued, and the coming is still waiting. The show "I Am a Singer" has become the fourth season of without realizing it. As a singing reality show, "I Am a Singer" is essentially an entertainment program. It does not care about the music itself, so it should not expect its impact on the music industry; it is an indisputable fact that the mainland pop music ecology is deteriorating, and it is an overestimation of it and it should not assume. But "wake up the ears" can still be done. In order to make the program look good, "My Song" has put a lot of effort into musical standards. The high-standard studios, equipment, and the gorgeous Liang Qiaobai music team are all content that the program team talks about. These, together with the 500 listeners who sat upright on the spot, formed the ritual sense of this program, a sense of ritual that "music first". But in fact, what makes this show really good is "singer first". Some singers in have successfully become stars after the show because of their outstanding performance in this reality show. Singers are not necessarily stars; from singers to stars, they are the specialty of Hunan Satellite TV, which started the mainland talent show ("Super Girl"). At this point, Hong Tao’s team is enough to stand out.
Who still remembers what songs were sung on the stage of "My Song"? There may not be a few songs. But we still remember that Yu Quan and Deng Chao were vibrant, and their careers bloomed for the second spring after winning the championship; Huang Qishan and Deng Ziqi became famous and became the dark horse on the stage of "My Song"; Li Jian was once a hit with songs and jokes, and won countless hearts. In the finals of last season, Sun Nan's willful behavior made Wang Han successful. Hunan TV has even made the program a platform for training and selecting newcomers, and Shen Mengchen quickly took office. Although the technical comments of people like Erdi and Liang Huan on Weibo about competing singers have caused heated discussions, you see, the most lively place is the singer himself, the image of "as a three-dimensional person" displayed in the program. On the stage, the singers should fully demonstrate their singing skills and stage charm; off the stage, the singers are even more careless. From the moment the camera starts to record, the curtain opens, and the time for the reality show begins. The show is on.
After three seasons of hard work, "I Am a Singer" has become more skillful in technology, and it is difficult to not be good-looking; the key is, what surprises can it bring to the audience. The first game of season 4 made a small change. The pattern of the 7-player competition was broken, and the 8th player was introduced, wrinkling a pond of spring water. Compared with the past, the starting team has a more comprehensive music type and a wider variety of singer styles. The four places in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea are also launching together. The music veterans Lee Coco, Zhao Chuan, and Lee Keqin are in the market, and the powerful new generations Xu Jiaying and Huang Zhilie are on the scene.The program team boldly used the HAYA band, the less well-known Korean fresh meat Huang Zhilie, and the singer-singer Xu Jiaying. I believe that many viewers didn’t know who they were at the beginning of the program. This is the disadvantage of the previous few competitions, but it is likely to be transformed into an advantage in the later stage; dark horses should be produced from this.
, which is urgently needed by the audience, but he won the first appearance. They chose Tenggel's "The Wolf Land", but the song was not open and vigorous enough. The most eye-catching one was the lead singer Dai Qingtanna's red dress.
Huang Zhilie is a popular singer in South Korea recently. He has just become popular at the age of 34 and is a late master. Music critic Erdi calls him "the face of a fresh meat and the voice of a rough man." In addition to his good singing skills, Huang Zhilie is the most "playful" one, with a strong sense of art, and his eyes and love gestures that can discharge electricity make people feel like watching Korean dramas. I noticed that in the interview, Huang Zhilie compared this performance opportunity to "a blind date with Chinese audiences". This contestant, known as "a person who takes on the appearance of my song", seems to be about to become a girl's heart harvester.
days later Coco Lee sang the song "Missing You" comfortably and sexy. The RB singing style is a rare type on the stage of "My Song". My humble and light attitude is also very pleasing.
Lee Keqin sang and hosted. He is very similar to Ku Juji. He likes to pay tribute to his predecessors when choosing songs. Ku Juji to Leslie Cheung, and Lee Keqin pays tribute to Alan Tam and sang a song "Love in the Fog", which has feelings and artistic conception, suitable for enjoying with closed eyes. But I personally think that his hosting is average, and there may be reasons for Hong Kong general public.
"I'm ugly but I'm gentle" Zhao Chuan said, "How to say love" triggered a chorus, bringing the nostalgic atmosphere brought by Lee Keqin to a higher level. However, Zhao Chuan's style of "hard swords, hard guns, and solid iron fist" may feel that young audiences may find it a bit outdated.
The original singer of "Missing You Night" Guan Zhe was questioned for his qualifications as a starter singer. He always showed a sense of grievance and resentment in the show, which caused his aura to be distorted by excessive force. He had a low presence in the show and was not likable. In the end, he tied for 7th place with the HAYA band and was not eliminated. As a singer, he may be very capable; but in reality shows, he is really not smart enough, and lacks audience favor, so the road ahead is difficult.
As an audience of the Taiwanese music talent show "Super Star Avenue", I noticed Xu Jiaying very early on, the "chicken steak girl" back then, both singing and writing well, but unfortunately, in recent years, it has been neither swelling nor popular. Xu Jiaying was the second to last, and she performed stably. Her song "Lost Sands" quickly became the hot search list. I really like her calm demeanor when she sings, but I really didn't expect her to sing in a low voice and win the first place. It seems that the audience of "My Song" is used to eating big fish and meat, and also wants to change their taste. But once the freshness of the side dishes passed, Xu Jiaying was under a lot of pressure and wished her selfishly that she could go further.
letter brings a gorgeous song "Farewell Era". The skills are nothing to say, but there is always a sense of "Love after death", I don't know why.
A big show has begun, and you just finished singing and I will appear on . "I Am a Singer" is a battlefield without gunpowder. The music competition on the field and the character design off the field are undercurrent; "I Am a Singer" is also a dream of creating stars. Famous singers set out again here and take a step towards becoming a popular star. The contestants on TV sing loudly, and the audience outside the TV was fascinated. Once this reality show started, everyone could hardly suppress the participation, forming a wonderful common plan inside and outside the screen. This is a good time for mainland variety shows.
