自從梁振英上台後,在各行各業滲透維穩的工作不遺餘力,流行樂壇自亦不例外,
「家是香港」標記隨處可見,自亦需要一首有份量的主題曲,
於是就誕生了兩代歌王的合唱 – 張學友與陳奕迅的《同舟之情》,
在電台電視台日夜轟炸,作為名副其實的洗腦歌,
當中一句「人間的恩怨幾許已淡忘」竟然在英文字幕譯作 “Forget what is right and wrong”,
在主流媒體宣揚只要有中央,不需再記得對錯的訊息。
同一年內,陳奕迅找了MastaMic合唱《主旋律》,林夕亦為他填寫了《斯德哥爾摩情人》,
是隱諱的對抗嗎? 這並沒有答案,但再次證明政治找上流行音樂,並不是一朝一夕。
G.E.M. 曾高聲呼喊《What have you done?》關心受邊緣化的基層,
又炮轟903黑箱作業,其敢言作風卻在政治上成了為特首護航的「加油論」,
對商業機構嚴厲斥責,對政府管治卻是雙重標準,
這亦難怪她,要鋪路到內地參選《我是歌手》,都要有迎合內地的一套。
國內十三億人的市場,與香港逐漸萎縮到荼靡的一小塊相比,
若有野心開展事業,著實該向前者進發,
但就別再責怪後者再沒有容下其發展的空間。
The worst thing about the case with Ivana is that I guarantee that many did not read her full post (probably including those who replied on facebook). Same with Ella, actually. I think we as a society is too happy to pick sides and jump to conclusions without understanding context. Thankfully, the discussion on this page has been very civil and coherent, but it is increasingly disappointing in general to see "The Internet" at large attacking someone just because they don't follow the popular (in this case, anti-government/anti-China) stances.作者: John 時間: 2014-4-22 00:12
