Na Ying's "King of Singers" thorny road: When glory is questioned, when applause is mixed with sighs
The picture comes from the Internet
On the stage, she held the trophy in her hand, with tears in her eyes, it was the precipitation after the wind and rain, the glory of the evergreen in the music world, outside the spotlight, but it was overwhelming doubts, it was the resurgence of ten-year grievances with Daolang, and the whirlpool of controversy behind the title of "King of Singers", Na Ying, the "diva" of the Chinese music scene, on the 60th day of winning the title of "King of Singers", became the focus of public opinion again in an unexpected way, and was even pushed to the cusp of "jokes".
It all started on that night in the early summer of 2024
The picture comes from the Internet
When Na Ying's name resounded on the stage of the "Singer" finals, and when she received the "King of Singers" trophy symbolizing the highest honor from the host, time seemed to be frozen at that moment
has been an undefeated beauty over the years, Na Ying's singing voice is still beautiful, her stage performance is still strong, and she deserves the title of "King of Singers".

The times are changing, the music scene is also changing, Na Ying's singing skills are no longer what they used to be, and her music style is slightly outdated, this time the "King of Singers" is more like a kind of "compensation" for her past achievements by the program team
The "King of Singers" controversy: is it the coronation of strength or the filter of the times?
The picture comes from the Internet
Na Ying's road to "King of Singers" is destined to be full of thorns and bumps, supporters will list her past brilliant achievements one by one, from "Conquest" to "Day does not understand the darkness of the night", from "Laughing" to "Silent", every song is a classic in the Chinese music scene, every concert is a full house, they firmly believe that Na Ying's strength is enough to be worthy of the title of "King of Singers", those questioning voices are just jealousy and prejudice
The doubters are not unfounded, on the stage of "singer", although Na Ying's performance is remarkable, but compared with other participating singers, it seems to be a little less amazing and a little more routine, especially in some high-pitched parts, her breath control and pitch grasp occasionally have flaws

Daolang's return: The prophecy of ten years ago is now a prophecy?
In 2010, at a music awards ceremony, Na Ying, as a judge, made an evaluation of Daolang's music as "not having aesthetic standards", and bluntly said that "those who go to KTV to order Daolang's songs are farmers"
The picture comes from the Internet
Ten years later, when Daolang returned with his new album "Mountain Songs" and quickly set off a listening frenzy on major music platforms, people couldn't help but recall Na Ying's words back then, adding a bit of irony
On the one hand, Daolang, who has hot sales of new albums and is hard to find tickets for concerts, and on the other hand, Na Ying, who is selling bad concert tickets and is deep in the whirlpool of public opinion, these two completely different situations also seem to indicate that some subtle changes are taking place in the Chinese music scene

True temperament or low emotional intelligence? Na Ying's "out-of-line" past was mentioned again
In addition to the controversy in the music field, some of Na Ying's "out-of-line" words and deeds in variety shows have also become netizens' "ammunition" attacking her, in "Talk Show Conference", she faced the ridicule of the contestants, she seemed a little helpless, and even showed an embarrassing and polite smile, in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", she offended many contestants because she spoke too directly, and was nicknamed "Discipline Inspection Commission of the Entertainment Industry" by netizens

The other side of "true temperament": is it spontaneous or open-mouthed?
Supporters defended Na Ying, saying that she just has a straightforward personality, is not good at hiding her emotions, and has no malice, they believe that in today's entertainment industry full of hypocrisy and politeness, Na Ying's "true temperament" is particularly valuable
The picture comes from the Internet
Opponents believe that even "true temperament" should have a limit, and that as a public figure, everything you say and do has a huge influence, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, rather than being open-mouthed and judging others at will
From "diva" to "joke": Na Ying's "Waterloo"
The picture comes from the Internet
From the former "first sister" in the Chinese music scene, to now being caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, and even ridiculed as a "joke" by some netizens, Na Ying's experience is embarrassing, this is her own fault, it is the concentrated outbreak of negative evaluations she has accumulated over the years, and this is also the sadness of the Internet era, and the result of the wanton attacks of keyboard warriors
Na Ying's silence, and the public's expectations
The picture comes from the Internet
In the face of overwhelming doubts and criticisms, Na Ying chose to remain silent, she did not issue a statement at the first time like other celebrities to defend herself, nor did she make any response to those remarks that attacked her
This kind of silence, in the eyes of some, is a kind of acquiescence, a kind of powerlessness to refute, while in the eyes of others, it is a kind of helplessness, a kind of relief after seeing through everything
The crossroads of the Chinese music scene: is "traffic king" or "content first"?
The "contest" between Na Ying and Daolang is not only a grudge between the two singers, but also a collision of two different musical concepts in the Chinese music scene
And Na Ying's experience has triggered people's reflection on the current situation of the Chinese music scene, in an era where "traffic is king", has the quality of music works been neglected? Do those truly talented musicians still have a chance to be heard by the public?
Conclusion: The road of music has a long way to go
In any case, the story of Na Ying and Daolang will become an episode in the development of the Chinese music scene, which reminds us that the charm of music lies in sincerity and touching people's hearts, and it also warns us that in the pursuit of traffic and popularity, we must pay more attention to the quality and connotation of music works, only in this way can the Chinese music scene go further and more stable
