First of all, Liu Tianwang’s songs are very popular, and basically everyone can sing a few lines of his songs. Most of today's music talent shows are sung by young contestants, and the songs are different from the old songs in the past. Andy Lau's songs such as "Stupid Kid", "Chinese", "Ice Rain", "Love Forgetting Water", etc. all belong to the categories of pop and national style, and the composition and arrangement are very different from the current songs. It can be said that they belong to the two categories. Something from an era. From the current aesthetic point of view of young listeners' songs, such songs are not popular.

Although Andy Lau's songs are very popular, the songs are really not difficult. Mature singers really don't like them. Although we music fans don't want to admit it, this is the fact.

For example, when singers participate in programs such as "The Voice of China" and "The King of Masked Singer", they come to show off their special skills, so they will naturally choose some difficult and challenging works. Although Liu Tianwang's songs are very popular, the music company at that time specially tailored some songs that were listenable but not difficult for his voice. His works are basically moderate and gentle tunes, which are suitable for the public. Tastes great, but not suitable for competition.

Andy Lau's songs are so popular that there will be great pressure to cover them. We watch many music competition programs, and the singers basically choose some relatively unpopular songs, so that no one will find fault even if their singing is average, because no one is familiar with them. But if you choose Andy Lau's bad songs, such as "Seventeen Years Old" and "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry," you will definitely be criticized if you don't sing well. The risk is too great.

The most important thing is that most of the viewers who watch variety shows now are young people in their teens and twenties. If a singer wants to gain high popularity on the show, he must sing songs by Jay Chou and JJ Lin more than Andy Lau. More popular. Andy Lau's songs are still more suitable to be sung in KTV, which can relieve stress. It is somewhat inappropriate to sing these relatively salivating songs on stage.

Don’t think that choosing to cover Andy Lau’s songs is the singer’s own business. Then you are totally wrong. Is there any variety show now that doesn’t have an inside plan and its own “rules”? To put it bluntly, all variety shows are dramas performed for the audience. The program producers produce music programs, and you cannot require that their original purpose is to promote music culture.

First of all, his goal must be to satisfy advertisers and survive. Then we have to consider the ratings. Nowadays, high ratings require traffic. Andy Lau is a legend in the music industry, but the entertainment industry has its ups and downs. It is necessary to find a high-traffic entrance. Once Andy Lau's songs are chosen by a singer, the program producers will definitely Give opinions and interfere, because the music appearing in the program will definitely affect the ratings. This is also a helpless reality in the current entertainment industry.

Then we can understand it if we look at the music that often appears in the program group now. Examples of popular songs that have appeared in several seasons of the show The Voice of China: "Torture", "High Song", "Little Love Song", "She Said", "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square", "Nan Shan Nan", "Mo", too many songs let us see popular songs. Behind them is its music style, musicians, and the biggest push behind it is the traffic. Maybe many singers will choose Andy Lau's songs, but maybe only Will appear in the program highlights, or directly be said No by the program team!

Some people say that Andy Lau's songs are too simple and have a narrow vocal range, and he can only sing in the alto range. What I want to say is that every singer has his or her own niche and vocal range. How many can span high, low, and midrange? There is a saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Most of the songs sung by Andy Lau are deeply rooted in people's hearts and remain popular for a long time. I once heard Nicholas Tse sing a cover of "Chinese", which cannot be described more accurately than painting a tiger instead of a dog. So it's very risky to cover Andy Lau's songs. They say it's easy, but I say it's the most difficult. The difficulty is that you can't break through Andy Lau's curse. This is the so-called "no trick to win".

Due to its geographical location and objective reasons, Hong Kong’s entertainment industry and variety show industry, which were so high-spirited back then, are no longer the leaders. After so many years of baptism, we are increasingly seeing the changes in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry. There are limitations, but this is also caused by many objective reasons. When the four kings came into our lives, our entertainment industry was almost zero. When we see them, they seem to see what idols are, their music, their singing, They are all so colorful and eye-catching. Even though they may have lagged behind this era, whenever we get together, in the dead of night, a large group of sisters or brothers will still sing their songs in the KTV. Because singing It's not a song, it may just be a good memory.

From the audience's perspective, some of Andy Lau's songs are out of date. Today's young listeners listen less and more to trendy new Chinese-style songs. The songs selected for the music talent show are also current popular songs. There are very few old songs from the past. It does not mean that Andy Lau's songs have declined, but that the style of today's listeners has changed.
