Character evaluation

Zang Tianshuo's bold singing style and simple and honest appearance are loved by many fans. He is nicknamed "Zang ye Tianshuo" (Sina entertainment review).

Zang Tianshuo is an amphibious talent who can both write and sing. His lyrics are neither too popular vernacular, nor difficult classical poetry. The content of the lyrics is mostly something that happens around people. Some songs have broad meaning, such as parting, which is obscure. It is not only suitable to express the parting between lovers, but also suitable for the parting between friends and comrades. These lyrics are popular, innovative and colloquial. They are closely related to real life, so they are loved by the audience and fans. The melody of his songs is very beautiful, and his manly voice makes people feel deep, strong and strong. It's not hard to imagine that his songs would be much worse if they were all sung by female voices. Zang Tianshuo's ability to create a man's own song is really commendable. Zang Tianshuo's songs are excellent rock music works under exploration. Instead of strengthening two or four beats in most rock songs, he strengthened one or three beats with medium speed rock. He uses a lot of high range of melody, which also reflects a characteristic of rock music. Singing high notes with natural voice method will feel like exhaustion, which is another characteristic of rock music (review of Musicology).

Character controversy

On November 27, 2009, Zang Tianshuo was sentenced to six years' imprisonment in the first instance for affray. On January 29, 2010, the second instance of Zang Tianshuo's affray case was pronounced in Beijing high court. As a result, the original sentence will remain unchanged, that is, six years' imprisonment, which will be executed immediately.

On September 2, 2014, Zang Tianshuo was released from prison for good performance.
