Behind the shining lights and applause, the variety show "Singer 2024" is like a gorgeous stage war, with the singers using the notes as swords and the melody as the shield, fighting between the audience's eyes and ears. But is it really just for the music? Perhaps we should ask, does the victory of the victor of this war really belong to music?
The return of "Singer 2024" is undoubtedly a bomb that has detonated the entire entertainment industry. The unique selling point of the show, "Open Microphone Real Singing", is particularly rare in this era occupied by sound editing and lip-syncing technology. Fully open microphone means that every note is exposed in front of the audience, without embellishment, without concealment. This sense of realism makes the audience feel as if they have returned to the original appearance of the music.
This regression has not come without a cost. The show's competition mechanism is dizzyingly complex, with various rules from the list to filling the seats, making it difficult to keep up. What's even more discussable is that the rules seem to be tailor-made for certain players, calling into question the fairness of the competition.
Among the many participating singers, Shang Wenjie's story is particularly eye-catching. Her childhood was not easy, she was born in an ordinary family, and music became her only solace. Shang Wenjie's road to fame was full of twists and turns, she entered the public eye with a song "The Lonely Brave", and then "Invisible" established her status in the music industry. Emotionally, Shang Wenjie has also experienced several failed relationships, but she can always find strength in music and move on.
In "Singer 2024", Shang Wenjie chose to challenge songs that did not suit her style, although her strength was undoubted, but this attempt was obviously not recognized by the judges, and her road to the competition came to an abrupt end. The audience has a lot of discussions about this, some people think that she was sacrificed by the program team, and some people think that she should be more insistent on herself.
In addition to Shang Wenjie, the performance of other singers is also mixed. Na Ying unexpectedly fell to the bottom of the rankings, even as her performance rose steadily. Although Sun Nan lacked skills, he was still able to get a high ranking, which made many viewers feel puzzled and even a little angry. In the face of such a result, the audience has more and more questions. Is the show too dramatic? Is there really respect for the music and the efforts of the singers? These questions are like thorns in the heart of every music lover.
When the smokescreen of "Singer 2024" gradually clears, we can't help but ask, is this kind of competition really the musical feast we want? Perhaps, it is more about the desire for entertainment than the respect for the music itself. But it is undeniable that the efforts and perseverance of each participating singer deserve respect. Every attempt they make on stage, success or failure, is part of the musical journey. Music is never alone, it can always make the most beautiful sound at the most unfavorable moment.
