Why is it so difficult for Cantonese songs to have a hit song that is very popular and has crazy music fans?
Of course, the composer is unable to sustain himself. Without a good melody, how can we have a hit song?
The second issue is the talent of the lyricist. In the past, there were many talented lyricists. They did not necessarily have to be well-read in poetry or have Ph.D.s in Chinese. They only needed talent.
But many of today's lyrics don't rhyme, and don't sound right. How can the songs be remembered?
Third, there is the issue of singing. In the past, when the entertainment business bloomed and many people debuted, after being eliminated, many will be elites.
Nowadays, there are very few people who can sing well and really sing with wisdom.
Quite often, when I listen to newcomers singing, I am afraid that they will go out of tune, and I feel nervous because they don't have many basic skills and insist on being a so-called singer.
Audiences have sharp ears, and good songs rarely go unnoticed.
