"This melody is so strange. Why does it use a Xia Guo-style erhu for one moment and a Western-style piano for another? There are also gong sounds? Is Uncle Kan trying to create a hodgepodge?"
"I listened to it three times and still didn't understand the lyrics clearly. I want to challenge myself to understand what Uncle Kan is singing within five times without reading the lyrics!"
"Five times? The guy upstairs is kidding me. I'm already listening to it for the twentieth time, and I still don't fully understand what he's singing. I plan to give in if I still don't understand it after the thirtieth time. Let’s go read the lyrics.”
"The two idiots upstairs, I understood what Uncle Kan was singing the first time. After all, I read the lyrics."
"I came here because of my friend Amway. This is the first song I heard from Jiang Kan, but with all due respect, his way of singing seems unusual. What do you like about him?"
"I recommend listening to Uncle Kan's first song, or, of course."
"Don't mislead the newcomers upstairs. Is it suitable to listen to Uncle Kan's songs for the first time? What if after listening to this song, everyone else's songs no longer sound good?"
“Suggestions start with and listen, there are surprises.”
"Or start listening to it. It's also quite good. It's very healing."
"Shit, you should listen to it from the beginning. By the way, this newcomer hasn't been brainwashed by this theme song during the summer vacation?"
…

"The new song that topped the list is the work of a singer who surprised all of us. He has been in the music industry for more than 20 years and has won numerous domestic and foreign awards. His songs have inspired one generation, or even two generations. Human youth and growth.”
"He is Zhou Shengjie, King of Zhou!"
"He is a recognized songwriting genius. Not only can he pick up mainstream love songs and slow songs with ease, he is also very good at performing the fast songs that he is most familiar with. A new song has been released in three days. Soon it became the favorite dynamic pop music among young people on the streets!”
"The king is the king. The new song released after a year really lived up to expectations. It took the first place on the list and significantly surpassed the number of downloads of the second place by a quarter!"
"And ranked second is Teacher Liu Yiliang, who has been in a heated dispute with the company during this period of time. The number of downloads of his new song has been supported by a high number of votes. As a fast love song that he is best at, This result has greatly exceeded the average level of second place in previous months, which is a huge improvement and breakthrough."
"And in third place is Teacher Dong Qibin, a first-line singer from Guangguang Entertainment. This song she performed with her gentle voice and full of emotion has made many people regain the feeling of first love again. They have to It can be said that Mr. Dong is really gifted and talented when performing this kind of song that can evoke people’s fond memories of the past.”

…
"So much for the top ten songs, but I was surprised to find something unusual!"
"A well-known singer that we all know and love, and who is recognized as a genius in composing and lyrics and a talented singer, does not appear in the top ten, or even in the top twenty!"
"This singer is the genius singer-songwriter who debuted at the age of forty, but as soon as he debuted he reached a peak that countless people cannot reach in their lifetime - Jiang Kan!"
"Didn't he release a new song in September? Why didn't we see his new song at the top of the charts?"
"With doubts, I looked back one after another."
"No in the top twenty. No in the top thirty."
“It wasn’t until I reached the thirty-fifth position that I finally saw Teacher Jiang Kan’s new hit song this month—!”
"? What kind of weird name is this? What does it mean? Or does it refer to or symbolize something? Or is it just a slobbery song with no actual content, just for the sake of being cool?"
"Of course, as a long-time fan of Mr. Jiang Kan, I firmly believe that my idol will not write a song that ruins his image. So what is the content of this song, what is the melody like, and what is the song? Why would a champion be ranked so low?"
"So I listened to this song carefully with curiosity and expectation."
"It only took a few minutes to listen to the song, but it took a long time to calm down after that."
"When it comes to the development of rap in Xia Country, it is relatively low in the world."
"As a branch of popular music, we are still in the exploratory stage of rap song classification. Many people with lofty ideals in this field are also working hard to explore and find a way to rap in Xiayu. Come, let our level in this area be as consistent as possible with the international advanced level of Western countries where Mi is the main language."
"I have always felt that our Xiayu rap lacked direction, talent, and guidance."
"But after I listened to Jiang Kan's rap today, I finally understood the root cause of the delay in the development of our country's rap art!"
"This song by Teacher Jiang Kan can be used as a negative example, showing how some people in our country who are eager for quick success are ignorantly destroying the foundation and source of the rap art that has finally been developed!"
"Teacher Jiang Kan, I'm sorry! Although I am a loyal fan of yours, I cannot stand on your side this time when faced with such a major issue of right and wrong that is related to the development level of our country's music and art!"
"So, now let's take a look at what mistakes this rap song, which is currently only ranked around thirty, has made that cannot be tolerated by the natural laws of music!"
"First! Sing!"
"As we all know, when speaking, you must say the words well, the pronunciation must be standard, the words must be spoken clearly, and the words must be pronounced with a clear accent, so that the listener can clearly understand what he is saying. What kind of emotion do you want to express and what kind of effect do you want to achieve?”
"The same principle applies to singing."
"Teacher Jiang Kan's song, let's not talk about the content of its lyrics. Let's first discuss its return tone and exhalation!"
"We know that there are generally five key points in exhaling Guiyin, namely:
1. Accurate: The pronunciation of the characters is accurate and standardized, that is, "the characters are correct". General spoken expressions must be enunciated and pronounced according to Mandarin pronunciation standards.
2. Clear: The pronunciation of the words is clear and people can understand it. No matter how nice a person's voice is, if his words are not clear, it will be difficult for others to understand what he means.
3. Roundness: It means relatively rich overtone resonance, pleasant to the ear, and it is also an aesthetic requirement for articulation. When speaking, you should try your best to make your words rounder and fuller.
4. Concentration: Concentrating the pronunciation of the word will give people a feeling of spiritual attention, making it easier to spread into people's hearts and impress them.
5. Smoothness: Enunciation should be brisk and smooth, so that the flow of speech can be smooth and unobstructed. Because in spoken expression, words are connected to the flow of language to obtain information and be infected. Sluggish enunciation makes it sound laborious and unnatural.
"
"Now let's take a look at the new song released by Teacher Jiang Kan and whether his singing has reached such a standard."
"1. Accurate."
"Are his pronunciation of the lyrics accurate? I didn't hear it. I don't know if you have noticed that he changed all the lyrics in the song that are not in the remake into the fourth tone, completely ignoring how these words should be pronounced originally. !”
"In this way, not only the lyrics sound extremely abrupt, but also it is difficult for people to accurately understand his expressive intention. You must know that not everyone happens to have the lyrics in front of them when listening to the song, so they can't find the correct tone. , people don’t know what you sang at all. This is one of the accuracy issues."
"Second, clarity."
"Everyone's first reaction when they hear this song will definitely be the same as mine: 'Huh? What did he sing? Is it Xiawen or Miwen? Or is it Fusang or other languages? How can I Don't you understand?'"
"This is a problem of clarity. Teacher Jiang Kan probably deliberately stuffed a short line of lyrics with lyrics that were much longer than the original length just to show off his skills, and then used them at super fast speeds. When read out, it creates a strong sense of rhythm and auditory impact, giving the audience a different feeling."
"The original intention of doing this is definitely good. Modern Xia Wen's rap art is the same, it lags behind the world and has not changed. We understand that you want to ask for change."
"But cramming so many words into one lyric seems to be putting the cart before the horse. Just imagine, if you read more than a constant number of words in a short period of time in pursuit of speed, you will definitely be destined to have unclear words and completely confuse the audience. I can’t understand whether you are reciting words or sutras, which is also very undesirable. The second point is clarity.”
"Similarly, there are similar problems with the mellowness and concentration at points 3 and 4 later. If you can't let people understand what you are singing, naturally it will not arouse spiritual resonance and enjoy the beauty. I just think it’s the annoying noise made by a woodpecker speeding up.”
"As for the fifth point of 'smoothness', Teacher Jiang Kan did it with his extraordinary musical talent and voice condition."
"But what's the point of this? Although it's fluent, it's still unclear and slurred pronunciation. No matter how fluent it is, it's like listening to a foreign language, which makes people completely confused. What's the use of such fluency?"
"So, based on the above five points, I think this song is Teacher Jiang Kan's biggest failure in the past year."
"At the same time, as I said above, he has set a very unsuccessful and negative example for the development of Xiayu rap in our country. If our country's rap music creators and singers follow what he has done, If we study in the wrong direction, our country’s own rap art will eventually lead to a dead end from which there is no turning back.”
"As an excellent songwriter, Teacher Jiang Kan made such a mistake, which is really confusing and puzzling..."
"Perhaps, this song is actually the work of one of his two apprentices. He deliberately said it was written by Jiang Kan in order to gain fame. If the song became popular, Teacher Jiang Kan came out to explain it to the public. He wanted to use it like this How to make your two apprentices popular?"
"The author has some doubts about this."
“In conclusion, as mentioned above, Teacher Jiang Kan’s song is neither fish nor fowl, neither accurate nor clear, neither mellow nor focused. It has fluent words but no actual connotation. It is indeed a quite failed work. .”
"I hope that after reading this article, Mr. Jiang Kan can carefully reflect on the mistakes he has made, improve as soon as possible, and write more normal and correct rap music. He will not let down the ardent love for him from loyal fans like us. Hope and adoration.”
