《歌手》新一輪要來了，華語樂壇還有人能“救”那英嗎？ （朗讀版）｜E0516

▍原文
The TV talent show "Singer 2024" has sparked a crisis of confidence in China's pop music industry, after some of the country's biggest stars were outshone by a pair of foreign performers. The new series generated huge interest by forcing stars to perform live.

The episode ignited heated discussion about whether China's music industry lacks talented performers. The fact that two relatively unknown foreign stars effortlessly bested their five Chinese opponents did not go unnoticed.
