Song of China

1、the Song of China A video of several renowned singers performing the same song, A-meis Listen to the Sea, appeared on Weibos hot post rankings soon after South Korean artist The One delivered his version on the stage at Hunan TVs Im a Singer on March 6. 3月6日，韓國(guó)歌手鄭淳元在湖南衛(wèi)視我是歌手的舞臺(tái)上演唱了張惠妹的聽海。隨后，一段由多位著名歌

2、手演繹這首歌的視頻迅速登上微博熱門榜。 Eighteen years after its initial release, Listen to the Sea still touched listeners hearts. But the question is whats the latest song you can think of that reaches the same heights as Listen to the Sea both commercially and critically? 雖然聽海是一首18年前就問(wèn)世的老歌，但如今聽來(lái)卻依舊動(dòng)人心弦。讓人不禁要問(wèn)，最近又有哪首

3、新歌在商業(yè)性與專業(yè)性上均可與之媲美？ An undeniable fact is we are indeed lacking good songs. 好歌匱乏是不爭(zhēng)的事實(shí)。 Now we can thank Sing My Song for offering music fans more choices to add to their playlists. 因?yàn)橛辛酥袊?guó)好歌曲這檔原創(chuàng)音樂(lè)真人秀節(jié)目，音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者們的播放列表里又多了不少好歌。 Since Super Girl started the craze in 2005, over 10 different singing competi

4、tions have aired in the time since. Among them is The Voice of China, which aims to find the singer with the strongest vocal abilities. Both powerhouse singers and professionally-trained vocalists dominate the show. Im a Singer provides a platform for veterans to rediscover their passion for music a

5、nd challenge themselves. Super Girl and Super Boy are intended to locate showbizs next super idol. The winners dont need to be the best singer but they must have a distinct personality. Even those indifferent toward this form of entertainment know Li Yunchun, the 2005 Super Girl champion, is a short

6、-haired “tough girl”, though they may be unable to name a single one of her songs. 繼2005年超級(jí)女聲拉開全國(guó)歌唱選秀節(jié)目熱潮之后，十余檔歌唱比賽類節(jié)目陸續(xù)與觀眾見面。其中，中國(guó)好聲音力圖挖掘最強(qiáng)音，參賽選手多是音域?qū)拸V的大嗓門或是受過(guò)專業(yè)訓(xùn)練的歌手；我是歌手則為資深歌手提供了重拾熱情、挑戰(zhàn)自我的舞臺(tái)；而超男超女更多是在尋找演藝圈的超級(jí)偶像，獲勝者不一定擁有最棒的唱功，但必須具備獨(dú)特的人格魅力。比如李宇春，即使對(duì)此類節(jié)目毫無(wú)興趣的人也都知道這位2005年的超女冠軍是個(gè)短頭發(fā)的“女漢子”，盡管他們也許說(shuō)不出李宇春

7、到底唱過(guò)哪首歌。 Sing My Song is unique because its the only singing talent show that requires every contestant to come up with their own original compositions rather than covering other artists songs. (Most competitors are both the lyricists and composers for their songs, and some write music for classic p

8、oems or essays.) The five superstar judges and producers (four in the first season) narrow down their search to finding the best songs and songwriters in China. In Sing My Song, the ability to be a strong composer outweighs singing ability. 與其他歌手選秀類節(jié)目不同的是，中國(guó)好歌曲要求選手不能翻唱，必須使用原創(chuàng)歌曲參賽。（許多選手既是詞作者又是曲作者，還有的

9、選手選擇為古詩(shī)文譜曲。）臺(tái)下的五名巨星級(jí)評(píng)委和制作人（第一季時(shí)是四名）都在耐心尋找中國(guó)最佳歌曲與詞曲作家。這時(shí)，相比唱功而言，優(yōu)秀的作曲功底更為重要。 According to the Hollywood Reporter, the UKs ITV has created a British version of Sing My Song, marking the first time a Chinese format talent show has been exported abroad. 據(jù)好萊塢報(bào)道稱，英國(guó)ITV獨(dú)立電視臺(tái)將制作英國(guó)版的好歌曲，而這也是中國(guó)選秀節(jié)目模式首次“走出國(guó)門”。 However successful Sing My Song has proven itself to be, it still faces the same problem all singing talent shows share: For most contestants, their starting point at the show is also their careers peak. We have to hope that some of these rookies will be able to hold on to th
