The Mango Platform made another big move last night.
They brought in five Chinese singers, Na Ying, Hai Lai Amu, second-hand Rose, Rainie Yang, Wang Sulong, and two foreign singers, Chant é Moore Faouzia.
Play a "live live broadcast", let a sound ensemble familiar to the audience return after 4 years——
Singer 2024.
In January 2013, I Am a Singer became popular after its premiere. On the domestic mainstream video websites, the on-demand rate of I Am a Singer has left behind the former top ranked Happy Camp and If You Are the One. Hunan Satellite TV has also replayed the first issue six times for the first time, hitting the highest number of non drama programs replayed by Hunan Satellite TV.
Another manifestation of the popularity of the program is the addition of the singers themselves: Lin Zhixuan, Huang Qishan, Deng Ziqi, Yang Zongwei and other singers all took advantage of the popularity of variety shows. Even Li Ronghao, who is now at the height of his powers, opened up public awareness in the "round trip" of the program.
It can be said that I Am a Singer not only established the position of Mango Stage in the music and variety industry, but also opened an era of internal entertainment and sound synthesis. Until four years ago, the program stopped broadcasting.
Later, Mango TV Station produced popular music synthesizers such as "Time Concert" and "Sound Generation", and various satellite TV stations also constantly created various music programs.
But in the past four years, no more sound synthesizer has reached the level of the singer of that year.
It's time for it to "come back".
Everyone understands the weight of the word "singer". However, Mango TV is always unexpected when it does programs.
The singer not only returned this season, but also changed a new way of playing live.
The live broadcast not only tests the strength of the singers' true singing, their psychological quality and live state, but also probably means the singer's accident scene, which may also become the Waterloo of the program. The gold lettered signboard may fall here.
But the mango table did just that.
The program premiere, social media, exploded. The whole night was full of hot search and discussion.
Kuyun's ratings quickly broke 0.5, and then rose all the way up, with an average of 0.578, and a peak of 0.67, significantly exceeding "Run 12" and winning the champion of satellite TV ratings.
The results of the first stage of the competition were basically in line with the public's expectations - the first was the American R&B and jazz songwriter Shanty Moyi.
The second place was Vancia, a new generation of popular female singer in Canada.
The third is Na Ying, the fourth is Wang Sulong, the fifth is second-hand rose, the sixth is Rainie Yang, and the seventh is Hailai Amu.
After the first episode of the program was broadcast, the candidate for the singer who was once considered to be basically determined was again full of suspense.
But is the King of Songs really important?
The changes and ups and downs of the past eight seasons of Singer over the years are actually a reflection of the internal entertainment of pop music. When music no longer has a "unified standard" and a sound synthesizer, there will no longer be a "singer king" who "fixes the tone with one stroke".
Music is the best footnote of this returning Wang Fried Sound Complex.
01. The most daring sound synthesizer, fun bottoming, interactive humor, and "small accidents" enhance the sense of intimacy
Because what it does is not just a live broadcast.
It is the most vigorous way.
Let the audience hear the most authentic singing and the most vivid scene.
And this. It is exactly what is scarce for internal entertainment at the moment.
However, when we preconceived that this must be a musical variety show that "can't play", Mango Stage gave us a surprise.
This kind of accident comes from three aspects.
The first aspect is the host He Jiong and Hai Quan.
In recent years, He Jiong's hosting skill has always been the ceiling of variety show hosts.
Singer 2024 returns through live broadcast. In addition to testing the singer, the most testing is the host.
He Jiong will have no accident, but Hu Haiquan, another host, will have an accident soon.
As the champion of the first season of Singer and the first singer to appear in the first season, I didn't expect that he would be so nervous.
The first stumbling block of the whole night came from a direct slip of tongue on the stage, "Let's drink the singer together". After saying that, Haiquan felt that the whole person was about to break, and even his hands were shaking.
But you said that magic is not magic, and the most difficult live broadcast self certification was originally, so there is no need to prove it. Haiquan has just proved it hahaha.
Next, let's see He Jiong's rescue ability. Teacher He still won't have any accidents. An opening speech was delivered, instantly drawing the audience's memory back to the program memory.
As a result, Hu Haiquan accidentally uttered a golden sentence: Don't cut it too hard. Maybe you can't match the normal performance of others with 100% of your power.
The audience burst into laughter and the atmosphere was instantly warm.
The only pity is that a familiar guest host Hong Tao, who drinks water, is missing from the announcement of results.
Netizens said: "It's really a close call to announce that there is no Hong Tao in the ranking.".
There is something wrong with the taste.
I want to ask the program team whether Hong Tao can come back next week to announce the ranking?
The second aspect is the interesting Na Ying.
Na Ying has participated in many variety shows at Mango Stage. She has always been a live treasure on the stage.
Unexpectedly, in this variety show, Na Ying hasn't played yet, which brings a lot of chemical reactions.
Staff: "Congratulations on our program. Finally, we are looking forward to Naying.".
Na Ying: I was a concert guest in Australia that year. When I saw Hong Tao coming, I said: Is Hong Tao Australian?
Alas, why don't I talk like that. (joking tone)
In conclusion, "I am really ungrateful".
Na Ying is really stuck.
The interview said that she was "shocked". He also said, "After receiving the invitation of live broadcast, I often have nightmares and dream that all my songs are" car accidents "."
The funniest thing was the announcement of the results. Na Ying knew that she had won the third place and immediately said: I still have room for progress.
This is the first issue. I want to know what kind of "famous scenes" the sister will create after the program is finished.
The third aspect is the accident of breaking the routine.
Since it is live, there will be accidents.
For example, Rainie Yang can be so nervous when she sings her Take Me Away.
In fact, when the familiar melody flowed out of her mouth, a kind of nostalgia and emotion from the past had suddenly poured into my chest, vaguely aware that the past was like yesterday.
But to be honest, Rainie can really hear it. She is very nervous. When she is nervous, she will sing very hard, which makes people very worried. Even the conventional adaptation was mistaken by some netizens as out of tune.
In fact, Rainie Yang has been to The Sound Never Dies. People who have heard her sing in the show know that her singing skills do not stop there.
But this is the charm of live broadcasting. It's boring if everything is expected.
For another example, Wang Sulong is the only one who sings a new song in the first issue of Singer 2024. One song, Think of Us, has a rolling melody and moving lyrics.
For one thing, new songs are never suitable for singers, and no one is exceptional.
Moreover, when singing new songs, it is easy to have flaws, such as breathing, enunciation, and all kinds of possibilities will appear; And tension.
In fact, this song is full of stories. It is absolutely a good song. When Wang Sulong sings, I will think of the voice of Yang Zongwei who participated in Singer.
There are many accidents in the first show, but accidents are the basis of this popular variety show.
02. The real singing competition of powerful singers is really amazing
The biggest charm of Singer is competition.
I Am a Singer, which premiered in 2013, pioneered the concept of competitive variety show for famous singers - using music to compete, and 500 ordinary judges on the spot decided the fate of the singers.
But in the past eight seasons, the audience has always been puzzled by the problem that what they heard is not consistent with the ranking.
One of the important reasons is that what the audience heard may not be the same as what they heard in front of the TV.
Because of sound repair.
What the audience heard about Singer 2024 is what the TV audience heard.
Outside the ranking, this can maximize the charm of music.
In the stage performance, there are many amazing works in the first issue of Singer 2024, which are also memorable.
For example, the most emotional one is Na Ying's "Silence".
Audiences are too familiar with this song. In conclusion, many of the songs have been sung by different singers. Unexpectedly, Na Ying sang "Silence" again, giving it a new definition.
Na Ying is really nervous. The first half is a little tight, but the second half is full of fire, and the high voice directly blows the field. But the key of this song is not technology, but delicacy.
"Silence" is a song that sounds catchy but is difficult to sing in practice. It is not enough to move people just because it has skills.
The best thing about Na Ying is to integrate emotion into technology. She turned the orchestration voice to the lowest level, and tried to highlight the voice. The thick, slightly hoarse voice makes the story feel overwhelming, lingering in the tender feeling of grounding. The "ah~losing you" treated twice differently also gave the lyrics and songs a sad mood with the "sense of fragmentation".
At last, I sing this classic song with more sadness and tears. The taste is lingering, and the beauty of the years has touched the hearts of the audience.
There is also the most joyful song - "Monkey Playing" by the second-hand Rose Band.
When the suona is sounded, gold is ten thousand liang.
In fact, audiences familiar with the singer's stage know that this song is suitable for singing on the spot, but not for Singer, because it is easy to mobilize the atmosphere of the whole stage and the audience, but there are audience limitations in the performance of "Shoumai". Those who like it will be very happy, and those who don't like it will be completely unpopular.
To put it bluntly, it means taking risks. In contrast, Xian'er is obviously a more stable choice that will not make mistakes.
But Liang Long just chose Weiwei Rock and Roll. He played on the stage and listened to the audience. I think it's OK.
Finally, I will talk about the two songs with the most perfect singing skills.
When Van Sia, the first one to appear, sang Crazy, I wondered whether this was the best stage of the scene, and the result was the second.
Many audiences are familiar with Crazy, and Van Sia sang this song with a different texture.
The opening piano solo and singing in a low voice are integrated with the fatalism of the song. A variation in the middle makes the whole rhythm rise. Fan Siya also lights up the stage. The female voice has its own penetration and fearlessness of moths.
This new Canadian female singer only looks beautiful and sings steadily. What's more, she completely suppresses the stage.
The performance of the two styles of the whole song sets off each other in front of and behind, and makes people believe that she is the "crazy person" in the song.
Just a few notes can evoke my myriad emotions. Sure enough, love song and ballet will always make Crazy.
But unexpectedly, there is a more powerful one behind.
Shanty Mo is not only a born stage singer, but also a songwriter. His first album Precious was released in 1992, ranking first in the American charts.
Her song "If I Ain't Got You" is the most standard competition song. To a large extent, it is about dimension reduction. But the premise is that the singer should master the song, sing with ease, and it is easy to roll over if he cannot sing well.
I didn't expect her to be so good.
The chest sound support is sufficient, especially in the mid bass area. Her high-quality chest sound makes her voice feel broad.
When in the high voice area, the voice will not appear too sharp, but also like a branch of the sky, singing like waves on the shore, wave after wave, surging the eardrum, pushing the mood of the whole audience to the top, which is a cool atmosphere!
After listening to the original sound, I finally understood how the title of this soul singer came into being.
She not only enjoys the stage so simply, but also perfectly combines the strengths of stage singers and studio singers. The whole song mood is perfect and flawless. At the same time, she completely shakes the big scene and directly turns the scene into a personal concert.
A song gives full play to the singer's advantages in singing skills and style. It is exquisite, wild, loud, and lyrical.
After listening, I have become immortal.
Apart from other factors, Singer 2024 is also a music feast in terms of music quality.
03. The hard core of live singing is profound. Mango is a sound synthesizer, which forces internal entertainment to produce real skills
It's so cool.
This is my biggest feeling after watching the first episode of the program, cool, because of scarcity.
I don't know when the pop music for internal entertainment began to be packed and post packed, and I like to fill songs with complicated synthesizer sound effects and unknown sampling.
The audience can't tell who is really good at singing.
I haven't heard it for a long time. It's a purely honest music scene with no fake external force.
And true singing and competing for strength are also the original skills of Singer.
In 2015, I Am a Singer ushered in the peak of audience rating. The average audience rating of that season of I Am a Singer reached 2.725%. Singers participating in that season included Han Hong, Sun Nan, Zhang Liangying, Hu Yanbin, Gu Juji, Chen Jieyi, Huang Liling and Li Ronghao.
Under the competition of these trump singers, the audience's expectations and aesthetics have been capped. Even in the Mango stage, there is no more talented singer. The biggest enemy of the later stage of Singer is actually himself.
No one in China dares to say that they are better than singers, but it is too difficult to surpass their own peak in the past.
This is why when I saw the singer's live broadcast restart, I was actually worried:
Will it not be enough to satisfy the audience's expectation of being fattened for four years?
result.
After reading the first issue, my doubts no longer exist.
Because the best thing for singers to watch is not only the music itself, but also something that comes with competitive programs, called suspense.
A music variety show without suspense is not beautiful.
Now, suspense, back.
I don't think there is any problem with the lineup this season, but I think it is rich and interesting.
Although there are differences in singing skills, it is better than that of Na Ying, who has survived many times and played rock and roll to play second-hand roses in the hearts of contemporary young people. The ubiquitous songs of Hailai Amudu have come.
For example, Hai Lai Amu's "Your Thousands of Rivers and Mountains", the whole song has no treble, and it is difficult to show a loud voice. In the singer's stage, it is a loss, but the emotional treatment of this song on the spot is traceless.
The singer on the stage of Singer should not only be the so-called loud singer.
The suspense now is that after the first wave of singers, the replacement singers can also bring the imagination of the future of the program.
Don't forget that backup singers have always been the killer of singer programs. Li Jian, Tenger, Zhang Jie and Hua Chenyu have all appeared as backup singers.
In a sense, the first and replacement singers of all previous Singers have been doing one thing all the time, which is to show the authenticity of entertaining the pop music world.
Don't forget how many classic stages have been contributed by the three and four seasons of the strength school. This is the most attractive part of the program.
It competes, but not only in competition, when the program ranking was announced at the moment.
The audience has never felt that we are so moved by the music at the same time and in the same place.
As for the performance itself, it is not the most important. Who can remember who was the king of the previous eight seasons? But those stages recorded the most brilliant moment of the powerful group of entertainment singers.
As Li Jian said in 2015, "Even if you take the King of Songs, you are not. There is no King of Music."
Now, the Chinese singing world is different, and the sound synthesis is also different. For four years, there is no new sound synthesis, surpassing Singer.
The Singer must take a big step forward to surpass the Singer.
This big step of domestic audio synthesis should be taken by Mango Platform, and only by Mango Platform.
The challenges brought by the live broadcast will certainly stop some voice repair singers. As Director Jiao Xiao said, "Singer 2024" not only needs the courage of the singer to challenge, but also needs a fixed schedule to cooperate with the competition. Therefore, many people can't come, so we have the current team.
The next suspense is that besides Na Ying, who has the closest score to the top two performers in the first round, who can be a backup singer in the Chinese music world to win Shanti Moyi and Fancia?
Perhaps, this is not only a problem of mango variety, but also a problem of Chinese pop music and entertainment.
