Concerts can reflect a singer's appeal. Some singers' concerts are sold out and it's hard to get a ticket. Some singers' concerts have fewer audiences than the staff. The difference is really big.
Li Hyuk is undoubtedly one of the most appealing Chinese singers, and his concert tickets are always the most sought-after in Asia.
After the concert ended that day, the final list of the Baodao Golden Melody Awards came out. The relationship between Li Hyuk and the Golden Melody Awards has not been repaired yet, so naturally he has nothing to do, but the artists under Fantasy Records did win a big victory.
SHE won the Best Pop Group award, Guns N' Roses won the Best Band award, Maomao won the Best New Artist award, and then received a nomination for the Best Mandarin Male Singer.
This can also be regarded as a goodwill released by the Baodao Golden Melody Awards: Look, we no longer care about what you did last year. How about you come back and attend the Golden Melody Awards ceremony?
As I said before, it's not that he needs the Golden Melody Award, but the Golden Melody Award needs him. Therefore, Li Hyuk is qualified to stage the score.
While he is busy with concerts, Lee Hyuk's first English album is also in the final preparation stage for release.
"We are young" was released on major music platforms on Li Hyuk's birthday last month, and reached the highest ranking of 16th on several domestic platforms.
Squeezing into the top ten on the rankings in Japan and South Korea is a pretty good ranking result.
However, the performance of this song in Europe and the United States is a bit poor. The four English singles released by Li Hyuk earlier have all been in the top ten of the Billboard charts.
But this song "We are young" didn't even make it into the top 100, and it doesn't seem to be very popular on the Internet.
The reason behind this is worth pondering. Since Li Hyuk's influence has expanded, his concerts in Europe and the United States have continuously achieved certain results. Even at the London concert, thousands of people sang "Yellow" together, which attracted the attention of "The Times"
Directly calling for the mysterious magical power from the East.
"I have never seen a singer from the East who has a rare influence in the entire Western world. Perhaps, we can call Jay the first Eastern super pop king in the new century."
The Times' praise of Li He was somewhat flattering, while the Sun, a media outlet on Fleet Street next door, published several reports with the headline "Warning against cultural invasion from the East" to call on the British people.
Boycott Li Hyuk.
The New York Times is even more interesting. In the newspaper, it gave Li Hyuk's new album "Qili Xiang" a score of 3 out of 10. The reason is also very simple. Chinese pop music has never been mainstream in the world, and Li Hyuk is not mainstream.
.
Not only did they fully publicize Lee Hyuk's threat theory in the media, they also restricted resources in various ways to reduce the popularity. The most powerful piece of evidence is that the MVs of Lee Hyuk's four English singles had a total of more than 23 million views on YouTube last year.
, but now, there are only a few hundred thousand views.
This abnormal phenomenon attracted the attention of domestic netizens. There were various analyzes by UP owners on site B, and netizens also discussed it enthusiastically.
Even the English songs sung by Li Hyuk are overrated, let alone his Chinese songs. Fortunately, although Li Hyuk often goes abroad, people only pay attention to him in the media and popularity, and it does not rise to the level of a threat.
Degree.
Otherwise, Li Hyuk might commit suicide or be killed in a car accident someday.
There will always be prejudice. Those people never want to face others, always think that they are the center, and then follow the law of the jungle.
Fortunately, across the ocean is the King of Understanding, and the public opinion environment is a little better, because King of Understanding believes that it is useless to incite public opinion. After next year, after Xiden comes out, the 25 boys and 500,000 people on the Internet will be resurrected.
Under such circumstances, the release of Li Hyuk's English album was cast a shadow, but Fantasy Records was still determined to release it, and even advanced the release date to early August.
Sony Music was also very cooperative and took several already recorded English albums from Fantasy Records and sent them to major European and American pop music producers for review.
Doug Walter, a senior music critic and editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone" magazine, listened to the entire album and called Sony Music excitedly: "Oh my God, this album is really good, it sounds great. Who is this singer? Where did you find out about it?"
from?"
The person in charge of Sony Music was not surprised that Doug Walter did not know Li He, and smiled: "Doug, just tell me how this album is?"
"It sounds great. This is one of the few best albums I have listened to in recent years. I must know this singer and interview him personally." Doug Walter said excitedly.
"Doug, don't get excited yet, I'm afraid your wish for an interview will be in vain."
"Why? Doesn't he want to be interviewed?" Doug Walter was puzzled and asked quickly.
"No, it's about the singer's identity. He is a Chinese."
Doug Walter choked, Chinese? This is a big problem.
Anyone who understands the history of pop music will know what happened to Michael Jackson in the 1990s. After he became the most undisputed super king of pop, there was an endless stream of negative information about him. Those people will not give up unless he is completely discredited.
of.
The reason for all this is because of his sensitive skin color. If Michael Jackson were white, he might be able to avoid these turmoils.
It can be said that Michael Jordan wants to thank Michael Jackson. Without Michael Jackson, the god of basketball might have suffered.
As for a Chinese, non-North American person, who has the potential to become a world-class influence, you can imagine how those people will hinder him.
"Rolling Stone" is a very influential music magazine, but in this land, you have to take different positions. Doug's idea of interviewing Li Hyuk had to be abandoned. Due to Sony Music's reputation, it will not be published in the next issue.
I gave a small recommendation in a music magazine.
Other musicians who listened to Li Hyuk's English album, some rejected it, some recommended it, but no one really stood up to support Li Hyuk's new album.
Except for two people, Avril Lavigne recommended Li Hyuk's album on her social media as soon as she got the album.
And when they were on the show, they also strongly recommended it. Some shows were recorded during the broadcast. Avril Lavigne and Li Hyuk complained that the album recommendation section was cut off after the show was broadcast.
Some programs were broadcast live but could not be edited, so Avril Lavigne recommended them. Once she was recommended on a program, but the host made things difficult for her.
Avril Lavigne is a little punk princess, she doesn't show any cowardice at all, she goes straight to the point and causes a little disturbance.
Fortunately, after her comeback, her previous popularity slowly returned, Avril became more active, and the media had nothing to do with her. And after all, Li Hyuk is not Michael Jackson. People took aim at him, but they didn't care about him.
I just want to destroy you, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't care what you think, this is what those people really think.
In other words, not only Li Hyuk, anyone who achieves Li Hyuk's achievements will be subject to some restrictions as long as he is not one of his own. The same goes for Brother Cheng Long. In those few years, he was very popular in Hollywood with "Rush Hour"
The water started to rise, but then it came back inexplicably.
Another supportive person is Taylor.
Although he rejected Taylor last time, Taylor clearly had an "old love" for Lee Hyuk and strongly recommended Lee Hyuk's English album on various occasions, which made Taylor's fans think that this girl's brain was burned out.
No matter what, this English album will eventually be released to fans. No matter what kind of controversy, quality will ultimately speak for itself.
