A list of Singapore Music Festival guests announced on January 14th has caused a strong desire to catch up.
Doesn't it seem a bit strange to the 00s? But the 80s and 90s can't help but say "oh buy gah" when they watch it!
20 years ago, this is the king and queen of the super lineup is how many fans do not dare to think.
The most important thing is that this lineup is not only a side of the rise and fall of the Chinese music industry, but also a "melon" of the "melon field", nearly 20 years, but also a new one!
Now when it comes to the "four big three little", basically defined as Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and Yang Yang, as well as the TFBOYS group of Wang Junkai, Wang Yuan and Yi YiYe QianXi legitimate red flow of male stars.
But in fact, at the beginning of the 21st century, the peak of the Chinese music industry, "four big and three small" is the media at the time of the Chinese music industry in the glory days of the evaluation of the seven representative of the female singers, the four big "diva" plus three small". Diva" (referred to as the "Four Greats and Three Little Ones"). The four divas: Sun Yan Zi, Jolin Tsai, XIAO Yaxuan, and Jennifer Liang.
Three small divas: Zhang Shaohan, Wang Xinling, Yang Chenglin.
Although this was selected by the media at the time based on the overall strength and performance of these seven female singers, but in the network, Jolin Tsai, Sun Yanzi, XIAO Yaxuan and other "small diva" fans to prove who is more hot and quarrelsome. No less than today's Zheng Shuang fans and Wu Xuan Yi fans to protect the main behavior. In the 2020 Singapore Music Festival lineup, the "four divas" accounted for two: Jolin Tsai and Sun Yanzi, so today we will talk about the "four divas" (three small divas we will talk about later).
At that time, in the singing industry, which was keen on discussing the king and queen, and nowadays, we not only have to fight for the singing ability but also for the sense of variety, which is different, the singer's fight back then was purely to see who was better at business, so it was not uncommon to have a pile of awards in the era when there were so many heavenly kings and queens. Sun Yanshi's scorecard is super A. Just one year after her debut, she bagged 15 best newcomer awards across Asia, creating a unique "Sun Yanshi phenomenon" in the Asian music market, and was recognized by the industry as a god, and there is a good story that "there is a Jay Chou for men, and there is a Sun Yanshi for women". "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
Although later than Jolin Tsai, Aaron Hsiao, Fish Leung debut in a year's time, but Sun Yen Zi's starting point is very high, a debut on the red, as far as the singing world at that time, a lot of professional voices are more Sun Yen Zi's affirmation. And in the youth of many 80 to 90 years later, there will be no lack of a Sun Yanzi.
And debut on the called "Zheng Xiuwen successor" Sun Yanzi compared to a year earlier debut of Jolin Tsai, through the singing competition champion debut, because of the appearance of youth was sealed with the "boy killer" title. Although the debut of the good results, but the real big hit is "look at me 72 changes" album.
The album brought not only a change in Jolin's image, but also a diversification of song styles. In particular, the year and Jay Chou's "double J love" is not only a topic of conversation for a moment, but also gave birth to "say love you", "pirates", "chivalry", "Prague Square" and other gold songs.
Later, the "Double J" relationship ended, and the media was once not optimistic about the development of Jolin Tsai. But in the end, Jolin successfully proved herself with the album "Dancing Girl", and ushered in the peak of her career, and became a symbol of the pop music world. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.
With Jolin Tsai in the last century in 1999, the debut of XIAO Yaxuan, the same singing and dancing route, naturally, is a narrow road rivals.
At the time, she was labeled by the media as "Asia's fashionable dancing queen" because of her avant-garde style. Because of the experience of studying abroad, more contact with Western pop music, so, XIAO Yaxuan's music genre style is more inclined to Western Soul and R& B. Although her musical talent was once recognized, but from her debut, rich love life is also produced "melon" constantly.
The original version of the "Four Divas" was Sun Yanzi, Jolin Tsai, Elva Hsiao, and Zhou Hui. But because Zhou Hui did not release a film for many years to fade out of the music industry, coinciding with the gradual development of Fish Leong, and more and more powerful, is widely recognized before the achievement of the "four divas" of the final version of the Sun Yenzi, Jolin Tsai, XIAO Yaxuan, Fish Leong. In the record industry, almost all recognized that year's "four big three small" is both the beginning and the end of the Chinese music industry's last DIVA era, after them, few female singers can be recognized as a new generation of "small diva" name.
And when the "four big and three small" starting line although almost the same, but today is a very different road, some people focus on bringing children, some people focus on love, some people are still in the fight. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.
In fact, Chua is also 1999 debut, so far has published ten albums, music development stage can be divided into the early Universal period, the middle of the Warner period finally to today's independent music period. Cai Jianya in these three stages of development, have sung a lot of pop masterpieces, including "Breathe", "Stranger", "Bottomless Pit", "Amphibian", "Blank Grid" and other works.
In addition to her own pop hits, and because she is a songwriter, Tsai has written for many singers, especially some of the top tier of big-name singers. Even Faye Wong appreciates Tsai's talent, and invited her to sing when she was still famous, which shows that Tsai's talent is y rooted in people's hearts. In terms of personal popularity, Ken Choi is not considered to be a flow-type female singer, but she has also successfully organized a number of concerts, including the Taipei Dome, Kaohsiung Dome and other well-known venues to open the song, she has a high degree of visibility in the Chinese pop music circle, belonging to the low start high player.
In addition, Tsai also served as a mentor for the first and second seasons of China's Greatest Hits in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and successfully brought out Su Yunying as a champion student.
And Cai Jianya, now become very "can fight" "love song queen" and Tian Fu Zhen, from the S.H.E fly, Tian Fu Zhen has the opportunity to choose the song, the songs sung, but also with the previous in the group's style! The songs she sings are completely different from her previous style in the group. Since she went solo, she has released many solo albums and won several awards.
Back then, the four major award ceremonies were full of gold, only the four divas, plus the predecessors of the singing world, and the group of heroes competing for the award scene each flower into each eye, the competition is also physically and mentally refreshing. Every year to compete for awards with all their strength, whitewash outside the smell of firecrackers bursts of gunpowder flavor. Each out of a good show, a variety of big melon is very exciting, there is a moment of coldness. With the decline of the Chinese music industry as a whole, the former "four big and three small" in these years are also experiencing ups and downs, each with their own stories.
In addition to the awards competition, the album sales competition. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a conversation with a man who was a friend of mine, and who was forced to do business with him.
Let's start with the relationship between the four divas. It is said that after not see after, in favor of Cai Jilin, Sun Yanzi, the two divas but live into the entertainment circle Jin Jian not change the pro-BFF, hold each other companion for nearly 20 years. From the debut, Sun Yanzi and Cai Jilin has been the media on the use of comparisons, but the true feelings of these two people are all in the eyes of the people.
From 2001, the two people know each other a year later, their respective albums "Lucky Number" and "Kite" release period difference of less than a week, this is each other's biggest rivals, but a little bit of gunpowder flavor is not, Jolin Tsai and even in their own album pre-order will directly help Sun Yen Zi canvassing: "Please also support Sun Yen Zi more! "The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her. This move surprised countless people at the time. Sun Yanzi long time not send album, Cai Jilin again in the KTV catalyzed new album: "Your songs are going to be sung by me, and then sing, even the MV will act."
But the two are not just helping each other with their careers, they are also close girlfriends who have nothing to say to each other.
Because the relationship is so good, there are some scandals that make people laugh and cry. For example, the so-called "love triangle" is a so-called "love triangle" - Jay Chou likes Sun Yenzi, and Sun Yenzi likes Jolin Tsai. The company's website is a great place to find out more about the company's services, and it's a great place to learn more about the company.
In 2011, Sun Yanzi was in Taiwan to promote her album "It's Time", and Jolin Tsai met her for a hot pot dinner, bringing her then-boyfriend Jinyong to meet her girlfriends.3 months later, Sun Yanzi got married, and Jolin Tsai was the only female celebrity present, and she graciously brought Jinyong in full costume.
The feelings between them, in the words of Sun Yanzi: we are good friends, but sisters are sometimes too over, the burden is too great.
But to this day, the relationship between the "four big and three little" network has gradually changed. Take the upcoming Singapore Music Festival this year, from looking at the list of performers, we can see that Jolin Tsai has become the center of the "four big ones", and she has even become the "glue" of the festival list.
In addition to Sun Yanzi, another good "girlfriend" of Jolin is Luo Zhixiang. These two people also support each other all the way, rely on each other for nearly 20 years. As long as you look through their social media platforms, you will be able to eat the "friendship sugar" that they send out from time to time, such as when there is something going on, they will be dressed up as each other.
Jolin Tsai, who is rarely seen on the show, will also participate in the "Chicken Stripes" charity concert.
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world with a face, and I've never seen one before.
Fans who like Jolin Tsai know that playing mahjong is one of her favorite leisure hobbies, and Luo Zhixiang, Sun Yanzi, Pan Weibai, Selina and others are her pals.
In the early years, the famous scene of the three in the backstage war has been exposed by the media. Luo Zhixiang has also repeatedly teased the two on the program on the mahjong table anecdotes, shuffling the hand when touching the hand is also to be very exaggerated.
Said Jolin Tsai diligently practicing dance, even when playing mahjong are dancing while playing, enchanting self-touch.
Dance while playing mahjong too, I don't want this card!
Luo Zhixiang did not exaggerate, even Sun Yanzi in the "camp" complained that Tsai Jilin playing cards too fast, resulting in she has been losing, the key is to lose but also be Tsai Jilin dislike.
Jolin Tsai not only recognized, but also praised Sun Yanzi cards very good, this is not in the show: "Although I play cards very quickly, but Sun Yanzi is still willing to tolerate me." The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's website, which is available on the website!
In addition to Sun Yenzi, Luo Zhixiang this two old friends, Cai Jilin in recent years in the social network with her most frequent interaction with new friends is the netizens as "music world Zhen Huan" Cai Jianya, the two people often each other Ait each other, can be a sisterhood identity *** with the foreign travel is considered the best proof of a good relationship.
And Cai Jianya and Sun Yenzi is also many years of friendship, every time Cai Jianya issued a new album, as long as Sun Yenzi is "business" state, did not forget to help Cai Jianya play songs. Even revealed to the media, in their own in is not a singer, has been very like Cai Jianya. The two chorus of "origin" has also been regarded as a classic by fans.
The "chorus friendship" has always been a good story in the singing world, and the "cover friendship" that has been extended over the years is also very interesting. For example, Jolin Tsai and Tian Fuzhen, Tian Fuzhen has covered Jolin Tsai's "Dancing Girl" and "PLAY", and Jolin Tsai has covered Tian Fuzhen's "Little Luck". Finally, after a thousand calls, the two sang together on the same stage in the chorus of "bright understanding", which was called by the fans as the divine scene.
And this wave of "cover of friendship" and extended Xue Zhiqian had with Tian Fu Zhen together chorus Tian Fu Zhen's songs.
These are the first time I've ever seen the world's most popular music video game, and I've never seen the world's most popular music video game," he said.
Nowadays, it is hard to avoid looking back at the "four big and three small", which has been regarded as the second peak of the Chinese music industry, but also recognized as the end of the last DIVA era of the Chinese music industry. In today's era of randomly self-appointed kings and queens, many singers have their own exclusive title, has long been reduced to the artist marketing program of self-indulgence. The real meaning of the heavenly heavenly queen level singers have not appeared again.
Therefore, this festival with Jolin Tsai, Sun Yanzi, Luo Zhixiang, Cai Jianya, and Tian Fuzhen is worth cherishing. This is not only can let you with a music festival time, the year want to see the concerts are earned, or Chinese music DIVA era of reproduction.
The old auntie even couldn't help but guess, a gathering of so many old friends, each of their respective performance sessions, help singing guest is not arranged by the way?
However, the Singapore Music Festival, which has always been about music and lifestyle, has a theme of ONE LOVE ASIA FESTIVAL, and as an international festival, it will be held in two major Asian cities, Singapore and Osaka, in 2020. This means that the lineup of participating guests will not only include the previously mentioned Chinese singers, but also powerful singers from other countries, such as South Korea's Baoer.
But as a major music festival, it's impossible to miss our favorite Rock ON, and Eggplant Eggs, known by fans as one of the treasures of the Chinese music scene, will be joining us this time around. The band is also joining the festival, and with this list of bands announced, it's going to be hard not to get excited.

This is a rock band that has been together for more than 15 years and is going from strength to strength, and it's also Risbay.
