With the end of the competition on the evening of July 26, the last post-collection and the final clapping, "Singer 2024" came to an end, and the latest singing king was also announced - "The Adventures of Yingzi" finally ended, accompanied by Huichundan's relaxing and joyful "Flowers", Na Ying became the singing king. Tan Weiwei, Sun Nan, and Fan Xia won the second to fourth places.
Na Ying won the title of "Singer 2024".
Na Ying's journey has not been easy. It has been accompanied by tension and failures, but also by breakthroughs in her music style, from familiar love songs to Jay Chou's songs, and then to her final collaboration with Rejuvenating Dan. Although this journey has not been successful, in terms of self-awareness, Na Ying has experienced tension, self-doubt and finally rediscovering herself in singing.
Especially live broadcast, for Na Ying, it is the source of most of the pressure. In the post-interview, she also said painfully that every time she rehearsed, there was no problem, but once she was on stage, she was nervous and made mistakes. Winning the championship under such circumstances, this honor is not easy to come by. Na Ying's trophy was hot in Changsha with a temperature of more than 30 degrees. She choked up on the stage and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that I could be with these young musicians who came to the singer's stage. I have been learning all the time."
At the media meeting after the game, Na Ying was still immersed in the emotional impact, "It was a bit like a dream just now. I want to say that before tonight's game, I kept repeating to myself that I should not think about getting a ranking, but just sing my songs well." This dream may not be beautiful at all for Na Ying. In previous interviews, she admitted that she couldn't hold on several times because of shingles, because she got seventh place, and because she doubted whether she could still sing... She said with emotion, "When I was particularly helpless, Sun Nan and Weiwei appeared. I wanted to learn from them and found that they were so calm and strong on the stage." Na Ying stood up excitedly and bowed to the singers on the stage, but she also said firmly, "I know that winning the championship will definitely have a lot of negative voices and a lot of reports. I asked myself if I dare to accept it. I want to say I dare! So I still have to thank myself."
After calming down a bit, Na Ying shared her feelings along the way, "From fear to determination, ups and downs, it builds up to the end, like a completely magical journey, this journey is so beautiful. I think, when I look back on it for the rest of my life, I will feel that this journey was worth it, I have participated in the best show I have ever participated in, it is worth it."

Looking back at "Singer 2024", compared with the past few sessions, the biggest difference this year is the live broadcast of the whole process, which is also the biggest gimmick of the restart of this program. Live broadcast means that any flaws and mistakes made by the singer on the stage cannot be covered up by post-production. It also means that for every singer, each episode is an exam, a torture, and a hurdle. The mentality, strength, details, and cooperation are a test of comprehensive ability. Because the domestic music scene has been immersed in post-production sound editing and recording for a long time, when the program was first broadcast, domestic singers were extremely uncomfortable with the live broadcast format, resulting in the topic that the top three were occupied by Na Ying and two foreign singers for a long time. It has always been on the hot search, and even generated "Na Ying guarding the national gate" and "Wang Sulong is going to break". Such hot searches are both topical and self-deprecating, which can be regarded as an "unexpected gain" when the program was launched.
In addition to live broadcasts, another highlight of "Singer 2024" is the addition of powerful foreign singers. The 20-year-old Vanxia and the powerful Shantimo are like "catfish" put into the pond, which has revitalized the pond to a certain extent. In the third episode, the program also invited Adam Lambert, which has greatly mobilized the interest of young domestic audiences. After all, the Chinese music scene has lost its vitality for too long. The tragic contrast has a fan-torturing effect.
As the program continued to be aired, Hunan Satellite TV still invited "familiar people", including Sun Nan, who rarely participated in variety shows because of his withdrawal from the competition, Zhang Yuan who came out of "Happy Boys", and Tan Weiwei, who has been deeply bound to Hunan Satellite TV all the way.
After all the hustle and bustle, although there is only one singing king, the others also have their own gains. At the media meeting after the game, everyone was able to put aside their tension and watch the show again.
Hailai Amu, who has always been controversial, said that before he came to the show, he felt that he was pretty good, but when he came to the show, he found that there are always people better than you. In the process, he also knew that he was always questioned by the audience, "Everyone has been arguing and questioning me. Sometimes I am a little confused. I don't know what kind of person I should be, or how to sing so that everyone can accept me." After the last game, he concluded that what he needed was to continue learning, "Learn English when you should learn English, learn Cantonese when you should learn Cantonese, learn vocal music when you should learn vocal music, and further study when you should study."
Wang Sulong, who was always in a state of brokenness, was relieved. "Every word I said was from the heart. I didn't want a good ranking in this program. I just wanted to sing well in every episode. If I cared about the ranking, I wouldn't have added a concert and participated in this competition at the same time. I have no regrets for any of the works here. I am already very happy."

Sun Nan unexpectedly gained a lot of young new fans on the show. Although he is a powerful singer in the hearts of a generation, he has rarely participated in shows in recent years and young people are not familiar with him. This time, his strength and reliability in "Savior of the Country" have won him a lot of young fans, which can be regarded as a "new situation" in his career.
He said frankly, "I treat everyone sincerely with music. On this stage, I am always guarding my heart. Young fans are not familiar with me, but on this stage, they have witnessed the growth of my heart, and I am very happy. In addition, I also sang a new song, so it was worthwhile for me to come here." In the last round, Sun Nan took the stage with a guitar, a change of his past style. Although the style of the new song still has some old elements, one can see his determination to break through.

Tan Weiwei, who has always been deeply tied to Hunan Satellite TV, cried in the pre-interview, "This is the seventh time I have stood on the competition stage." At the meeting, Tan Weiwei was calmer and more rational, "I have been thinking about a question. Live broadcasting really has lifted the fig leaf. We need to reflect on our respective professional qualities. This is the homework I have to do when I go back. Just now in the backstage, Na Jie encouraged me to make this kind of ethnic fusion music. I will continue to study and explore this aspect and make more good music. I really don't have much to offer, so I will give everyone my heart and music."

Two talented foreign singers, Vanxia and Shantimo, were more relaxed. Although they both failed to make the top three in the final round, they had a lot of fun. Vanxia said that after going through the entire competition, she was not only proud of herself, but also proud of all the singers. She even invited the singers to teach her Mandarin songs on the spot. Shantimo also felt that this process gave her many unexpected feelings. She didn't expect there would be so many good songs and so many good singers. "We can celebrate together because we are all winners."

Of course, at the end of this live broadcast feast, no matter who the champion is or what the ranking is, in addition to letting the audience feel that music is music itself and bringing people comfort and enjoyment, the adventure of live broadcast has indeed sounded the alarm for the Chinese music scene not to be lazy. Even if you have a God-given voice like Na Ying, you still need to keep working hard and go through adventures all the way to rediscover the gift given by God.
