在2016年的年末，上海最轰动的事件之一便是王菲在梅赛德斯-奔驰文化中心举办的“幻乐一场”演唱会。

这场“全球仅此一场”的演唱会几个月来便因为昂贵的票价（最差座位1800元，好的座位7800元+）被推上风口浪尖。

而此次演唱会还是华语音乐史上第一次真正意义的直播式演唱会。

王菲的团队和腾讯合作，把整场演唱会免费向所有歌迷进行直播。当晚超过2100万网友通过腾讯LiveMusic直播观赏这场演出。

直播从20：33开始。一开场，王菲身着一袭颇具设计感的白色蓬蓬裙，戴着黑色皮手套，唱着今年刚刚发行的作品《尘埃》。不过，开场后的一连几首歌，王菲的声线都出现了发抖的状况，特别是在《匆匆那年》中，走音、抢拍，状况频发，让很多观众大跌眼镜。

各路网友和专业音乐人都纷纷指出王菲演唱频频出现走音、气息不稳等问题。比如歌手龚琳娜在微博上发表评论：“昨晚看了这个，我很难过。音色丢了，气息没了，音准走了……唱歌好不好与过去的成绩无关，与今天的感冒无关，与是不是坚持不懈的专注和努力有关。”

网友也开始花式吐槽——
 
@邓邓游阿游：看了好几遍她幻乐一场的视频，感觉就是很吃力的。想模仿达到以前的水准，可是终究还是没有。 其实还是源于太久没有练了。说个例子，虽然对蔡依林无感，但是从很久前我对蔡依林的印象是唱情歌不行气息太不稳。到如今那么多年过去了，她一直在工作中，唱歌功力简直是好太多倍了。 所以…不努力就这样子啊。

@HeDgEhOg-Gi：说真的我也听了几首，都不好意思开口，一直都是天后的忠实听众，但这次确实是有种说不出口的痛……难道中国的迈克虽在却已不再了？天后那天籁的嗓音去哪儿了……？

@莫莫不算命：别唱了，吃斋念佛挺好，你的传奇留在音频格式里就行了。

@盒盒_14862：不想说其他，如果那英你跳出朋友的立场来评价王菲的演唱，你会作何评价？如果这都是唱的很好，那好声音就不会有被淘汰的了吧？

@壹月：不是粉也不是黑，有耳朵都听得到唱得太随意。专业歌手起码要尊重观众！就算多年没有练功，这就要开演唱会了，也不知道提前练一练？不管是不是天后，不管谁捧的，起码证明她是专业歌手，怎么能和唱卡拉OK一样随意？年龄大的歌手有很多，跑调跑成这样的歌手很少。不敬业！观众粉丝的钱也不是天上掉下来的。

@NonameQueen：张学友去年巡回演唱会也没跑偏.年纪在王菲之上...内场前排门票1980所以，王菲老了嗓子不好唱跑偏了就应该门票7800？然后唱跑偏了还不让人指出问题？exm？跑偏就是跑偏，错就是错.原不原谅是歌迷的事

@Yang---噶噶噶琳：比她岁数大的好歌手多了去了，用年龄来解释走音是否太过于牵强了

@韩高娃Xi：唱成这样还有什么可争论的吗？作为歌手自己的业务下降这么多，还不如老百姓k歌自己唱的，竟然还有人在找借口，还说不是演唱者的问题？人的正常三观在哪里？如果不是王菲，唱成这样，是不是早就吵着去退票了？

而有一部分歌迷还是一如既往地支持王菲，表示“无关唱功，依旧被感动”，即使有些瑕疵也能理解，毕竟年龄在那。

@怪味越王：有些人只听了她走音的《匆匆那年》《你快乐》，却没去也不想品位嗨到极致燃炸全场的《流星》《小聪明》《百年孤寂》，也根本漠视了幻乐一场这一前卫的主题，以《梦》结尾，她唱“这泡影衰老要去了 时间也到了不打扰”，我看到的是天后最谦卑至诚的一场诉说

@一只加肥加大猫：我想说，无论王菲唱成什么样，哪怕下次开演唱会还没这次唱的好，我依然会看，因为我们听的是情怀！人会老，月会缺，难道人老月缺就不要再出来了？同样，她也是想给我们大家一个情怀！她尽了她的努力来回馈我们，却被一些肮脏的人恶言相对！

@MHwin：把王菲演唱会全程看完，真的说车祸现场的估计只看了那个小视频短片罢了，即使到了最后40分钟依旧在大部分歌上的发挥还是可以的。虽然的确在连续不休息唱到第三首左右的时候明显无力，但是没有老套的观众互动，没有无聊的伴舞，一个人撑着台子在那里唱的下去的或许只有王菲了，还是好看

我自己把腾讯LiveMusic上“幻乐一场”直播的视频看了两遍，从头到尾。第一遍听的时候，套用网友的一句话“把脸挡住，我还以为是曾轶可在唱歌”。开场的《尘埃》，菲姐一开口，就感觉声音没有以前“空灵通透”，声音有点抖气息不稳。

想着可能第一首没开嗓，后面会越唱越好。但接着她唱到高音的时候….竟然破音了。后面还有几次破音。很多经典的歌曲比如《红豆》，感觉她这次唱得挺吃力，音色特别紧，一点也不收放自如。我坐在屏幕前都替她担心：下一首稳一点啊，音准一点啊，不要再抖音破音了啊。

开演唱会，是每一位歌手职业生涯的里程碑。不是每一位歌手都能开一个自己的演唱会。而王菲时隔这么多年，才开这么一场演唱会。作为一个资深歌手，连气息音准高音这些基本功都没有在演唱会之前练好，就出来开演唱会，这有点说不过去。音色虽然会改变，但演唱技巧是可以练的。用这样的演唱水准，回馈给买高价票的歌迷，回馈给等了她那么多年的歌迷们，我觉得不是一个歌手应该做的。

后来听第二遍，有点听习惯了，不再把关注点放在音色唱功上，而是放在她的歌声带给我的感受。看着她依旧优雅孤傲的姿态，看着她唱到高兴处像个孩子一样笑，唱到感慨处眼睛泛红，听着还是很感动。听她今年的演唱，感觉声音里的感情比以往丰富，像是拼了岁月经历去唱。

声音不再“天籁”，气息和音准也退步了，她自己怎么能不知道呢？但她依旧神色优雅淡定，一个人连着唱了30首，对于瑕疵也不遮遮掩掩。她自己把自己请下了神坛。就像她在这场独一无二的演唱会上所唱，“没有什么会永垂不朽“（《红豆》）；一个一个偶像，都不外如此；沉迷过的偶像，一个个消失（《开到荼蘼》）”。

Faye Wong’s Shanghai concert: the return, or fall, of a legend?

The biggest New Year's event in Shanghai if not all of China was the return of Chinese pop legend Faye Wong, whose live concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena on December 30 marked her long-awaited comeback after six years out of the spotlight.

The concert had been heavily discussed for many months prior, less because it was the 47-year-old Mandopop queen's first performance since 2010 (she is mostly unknown by millennials) and more because of the audacious price of her tickets.

Concert organizers reportedly paid 100 million yuan ($14.38 million) for the diva to perform. In order to recoup their expenditure, public tickets ranged from 1,800 yuan for nosebleed seats to 7,800 yuan for front row.

Not so expensive, you say, except that only 800 out of 8,000 tickets were released to the public; the rest went directly to ticketing agencies and scalpers, who in turn charged between 3,500 yuan and 600,000 yuan!

Everyone from working-class fans to wealthy people lamented the ridiculous prices; even Wang Sicong, son of China's richest tycoon, commented that anyone who pays those prices is "brainless."

I'm only 25, so I'm not a die-hard Faye fan like my older colleagues who grew up to her fluid voice, thought-provoking lyrics and avant-garde album art. But all the comments surrounding her sold-out concert piqued my curiosity. I wondered if her performance could possibly live up to her status.

Since I obviously could not afford a ticket, I chose to watch a live-streaming version from home, which was being exclusively Webcasted by Chinese tech giant Tencent (next-day news reports claimed that 20 million viewers had tuned in). Her emergence onstage was not unlike watching a goddess arriving from the heavens into our mortal world.

But once she opened her mouth for the first number, "Dust", I wondered if Wong had perhaps inhaled some literal dust moments before; she was instantly out of breath and her voice was cracking and screechy. Her high notes were markedly strained and her lower tones were, well, toneless.

After just a few songs, I felt embarrassed for the diva and sad for all the ordinary fans who had shelled out so much cash to see her live. Despite her visible grace, it was clear that, during all the years Wong was in hibernation, her voice had severely deteriorated. I browsed the Internet after to see if I was alone in my disappointment; I was not.

Everyone from common bloggers to professional musicians was very vocal about their dissatisfaction with Wong's vocals. Chinese singer Gong Linna posted on Weibo saying "I was so sad. Wong's ethereal voice has gone; her breath is not steady; her intonation is poor."

Some of Wong's most ardent fans argued that people shouldn't expect their heavenly queen to sing as well as she did a decade ago, and I agree. Just look at aging pop icons like Mariah Carey, whose own New Year's Eve performance at New York's Times Square made headlines after the 47-year-old (same age as Wong) simply gave up just six minutes into her set.

The huge difference is that Carey's show was free. She probably knew that she couldn't get away with charging for tickets like she did in her prime. Wong, meanwhile, has been living in a delusional bubble. Considering her famously sheltered, highly private lifestyle, she probably couldn't care less about breaking her fans' hearts - and charging them for it.

Conspiracy theories abound, with some critics suggesting that she only agreed to the concert because, now that her old records are no longer selling, she desperately needed money. Others allege that Wong's management company instructed that the tickets be priced far out of range for her ordinary fans because they didn't want her true believers to witness her fall from grace.

Faye Wong's glory days are behind her. I doubt she can launch a comeback. But one of the most surprising appearances of her concert was Wong's 20-year-old daughter Leah Dou, who provided vocal accompaniment. Dou is an emerging talent worth watching, and I have a feeling this concert was set up to highlight her more than Wong.
