Recently, the small station in the mouth of netizens-202 1 music variety "Do you listen to my music?" was launched, which is another music variety after the successful rap new generation last year.
That's Joker Xue, Dai Peini and Wei's "Do you listen to my music?" .
If I have to personally evaluate it, it is that the overall level of the first stage of this variety show is indeed better than other music talent shows in 202 1, but if there are still no "out-of-circle" hot players and songs in the follow-up, it may not be possible to replicate the success of the new generation of rap.
I don't mean to criticize this music variety here. On the contrary, I personally like a few songs, but in the big environment of China music draft, they are really a little worse at present, even worse than the first issue of the new generation of rap.
What is a good music draft? Which players and songs will be out of the circle? Let's talk about standards first. Personally, I don't belong to the music field, and I can't say anything about the professional knowledge of music. However, after watching China music talent show for nearly 20 years when Super Girl was popular, I still listened to a lot of popular and independent music, and always analyzed my personal works according to the development of cultural industry.
A good music draft needs players and songs that are out of the circle, but it is very difficult.
There are many explosive programs in the history of domestic music talent shows. In recent years, music talent shows similar to my music, are you listening to it? Probably, the sons of tomorrow and the new generation of rappers are on the same stage, or even earlier, super girls and happy boys, but this variety is mainly original and sung by people.
Because programs such as "Good Voice and Good Song" have no restrictions on the age, gender and musical style of the contestants.
How can such a musical talent show, in which all the contestants are young people, be popular? I personally made a systematic analysis according to the first three seasons before the launch of "Tomorrow's Son 4".
In this kind of music draft that limits the age of players, players and songs need to meet these two points if they want to "get out of the circle", either unique enough or genius, but even unique enough+genius is not enough.
Because after more than ten years of high-frequency draft, the talent pool of Chinese music is obviously backward. Those great gods and musicians who don't participate in variety shows will never participate. Those who can also participate in variety shows are either amateurs or "Sichuan-style pork" who repeatedly participate in variety shows.
"Do you listen to my music?" In the lineup, it is obviously more simple, and it is more similar to last year's "rap new generation".
After all, as an audience who watched the China music talent show for 20 years, none of the 36 contestants in this variety show knew each other, and they didn't see any "Sichuan pork", which is different from this year's "Who is a treasure singer" and "The Man on Strawberry Planet".
Nowadays, most of these vegetarians come from music schools with a solid foundation.
Their music problems are often solid foundation but lack of inspiration, inspired lack of life experience, and lack of touch points with life experience. Even if you count a few of them, there are not many people who can balance foundation+inspiration+life experience+touching people's hearts because of their age.
I believe that most people who listen to songs a lot have no strict requirements on the singing degree of songs. On the contrary, they pursue the breakthrough and uniqueness in all aspects of music (people who despise pop have a sense of superiority in this respect).
However, according to the aesthetic level of China people, the development environment of China music and the development of China music variety. Players whose songs are both level and popular, that is, "rotten street", are more likely to be welcomed by the whole people.
This is still a question of appealing to both refined and popular tastes. Music that is too unique will appear niche, and music that is too simple will appear drooling and vulgar.
In recent years, the only music draft of the same kind is "Son of Tomorrow 1", and the first season was broadcast on 20 17. In the past five years, we have only launched a rough draft, and so many subsequent music drafts have won so many people. Even if the players of Rap New Generation have subsequent development, at least for now, it is not easy to make much progress.
Let's go back to the program "Do you listen to my music?" , so I won't analyze the performance of the instructors. There are also problems such as making friends with the players in the first 30 minutes to familiarize the audience with the slow pace of the players, and then cutting off the slightly chaotic fragments of the less excellent songs.
Let's go back to the contestants and songs in the first issue of Do You Listen to My Music. If you have to choose the ranking, it is not the performance of the three tutors from top to bottom, and that's it.
Champion: Yu Zifang's X Zhang's opera, and Zheng Chuang's Who am I?
Runners-up: Listen to You by Zhang Sanqi, and Tiptoe to the Moon by Chen.
Third runner-up: Yang's Dream of Red Mansions, Juan Xiang Shuo, Zhang's Homesick Daydream, Xia Kewei's Romantic Ruins and Pan's Far Away.
Finally: Zhang Jinming's Wind, Chen Hong Carp's Anxiety, Liang's Qian, Qian Runyu's Silk and Yihe's Dawn.
The first issue of "Do You Listen to My Music" is excellent, but being close to "Rap Generation" is just my personal feeling. Please don't care if you like players and songs. This is from the perspective of music itself and music variety. Let's start from the bottom up.
Finally, the biggest problem of Qian Runyu's diaosi and Ikh's dawn is naturally a mistake. But even if there are no mistakes, these songs have two serious problems. One is that music is too similar to its predecessors, and the other is that music itself is too mediocre in all aspects.
Similar to their predecessors, Chen Li from Anxious and Liang once said.
At first glance, the former is almost indistinguishable from the Palace Pavilion, while the latter is a low-key version of Joker Xue. Similarity with musical predecessors is not a fatal problem. After all, most people learn to imitate, but whether there is recognizable singing and music style still has a great influence.
For example, Ge, who was scolded by netizens for copying Jay Chou, has at least some popular songs with distinctive styles, such as "Xi" and "Hanging from the Water", which can also be an instant hit. As an independent singer, she is quite successful.
Musicians who are too much like their predecessors will live in the shadow of their predecessors. After all, when people mention this style, they think of Joker Xue. Where do they want you to go?
There are Zhang Jinming's Wind, Qian Runyu's Silk and Ikh's Dawn.
These three songs are really ordinary. There are many songs like the wind. In retrospect, the chorus can make people have a little impression, but the impact is far less than that of Yahong's rock "Injury". It is a good song.
Qian Runyu's silk, even if there is nothing wrong, is also a traditional musical instrument plus a popular and mediocre ancient song. A good antique song also meets the requirements of lyrics, well-written songs and popularity. If it is not so ordinary, the lyrics are good, the song is good, the expression can be * * *, or the instrumental music is amazing, this song is nothing.
The dawn of Ikh is exactly the same, but the overall level is more mediocre.
Third runner-up: I'd like to say that Yang's RedDream, Zhang's dreamer, the romance star ruins of Shawei, and Pan's Far are a bit like the upgraded version of the following column, with obvious style but insufficient recognition, and the performance is very mature and complete.
The volume of Want to Say is probably the first, and the song is the first proper China city love song. However, the players have a strong sense of variety and strong appeal on the spot. There is nothing wrong with the lyrics and songs. It doesn't look like a senior at first glance, but it's not brilliant enough.
Yang Hehe, who wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, is simply a low-quality version, with similar singing methods, similar expressions and even similar tone sandhi, so the song itself is naturally inferior.
Zhang's Dreamer is also very mature. Many problems have been pointed out in the barrage and comments. The appearance and singing style are very similar, but the song style is a bit like Liao's, and even the prelude is a bit bumpy. In fact, this music style is not unique to Liao. The problem is that it is not only poor in level and popularity, but also has no distinct self-style.
Let's recall that the first song of Liao's Sons of Tomorrow is Who. Actually, the completeness is not as good as this. But it meets the requirements of distinctive music style, level and popularity. Look at this song again.
Shawei's Ruins of the Romantic Star is inevitably similar to the particles, but the lyrics and songs are obviously inferior. Pan-Zhou Jun agriculture is somewhat similar to Li Jian. The composition of lyrics and songs is mature enough, and the timbre is recognizable, but the changes are insufficient. The biggest personal feeling is that you are tired after listening.
Runner-up: Listen to You, Pick the Moon on tiptoe, and Who am I the Champion? Because these three songs are works with recognizable lyrics and songs, they use music to create and contrast emotions and express their life experiences. The only drawback is that the "singing power" is somewhat poor.
Zhang Sanqi's Listen to You is about family and yourself, and Chen's Tiptoe to Reach the Moon is about loneliness. Of course, this girl's singing is a little poor, and her speech is still very careless.
Zheng Chuang's "Who am I" music sets off emotions step by step, which is the best song to manage.
At the China Music Awards, it is hard not to remind people of He Dahe's Old Pig and Xu Jun's Myself, both of which are "good songs". I feel a little inferior, but I haven't lost much. The handling of emotional processes is quite excellent. What affects its going out of the circle is that "lyrics" tend to stream of consciousness and are difficult to sing.
Champion: Yu Zifang's X-piece opera, the first issue is worthy of the name. It is completely the crushing of the strength of the novice village by the comprehensive bosses, but it is lower than expected in my personal opinion.
I am a fan of Fu Lushou personally. After listening to Fu Lushou, I also listened to foreign black dragon, domestic shaman, Mamer /IZ band and other religious bands. Seeing their traditional costumes, there are bowls used in Fu Lushou's "Turn Me Over", plus incense burning and red rope connection before the game. I thought their music style was either biased towards the wild children of Xun Mei, a traditional culture, or an alternative fusion of traditional elements.
As a result, it was found from the beginning that the song was antique, with a feeling that Anhe cavalry sang mainland costume dramas 20 years ago, or a variety song of CCTV traditional culture.
This song is very suitable for an episode of costume drama with a suitable style, a song of traditional cultural variety next door, and even a CCTV party program. There is no problem to win in the first period. Of course, for an audience like me, it's still a little unexpected.
Finally, although the first issue of this variety show is slightly inferior to the new generation of rap, especially the degree of songs out of the circle, it is already excellent compared with this year's music draft.
Moreover, there is only one broadcast at present, and many players have not appeared. I hope there will be better players and songs in the end.
Finally, I hope the Chinese music scene is getting better and better!
