Tammy was criticized for adapting a song, what principles should a good adaptation follow?

First of all, I think that to adapt a song, you should be able to understand the backstory of the song that is being adapted, but also to know the idea of the song that is being adapted, and not to change the soul of the song. Tan Weiwei adapted the song was criticized this matter, recently the Internet on the matter of a lot of comments, I personally feel that as long as the adaptation of the song, do not change the overall thinking of the song, we should be able to accept. In fact, there are a lot of songs that have been adapted to sound better than the original version, and there are even some old songs that have been adapted to be popular.

Firstly, it is important to understand the story behind the song being adapted. The story behind the song is either moving, sad, or hopeless. Understanding these stories before adapting the song will give you a deeper understanding of the emotions contained in the song, and will prevent embarrassment from occurring. I think every song has a story behind it, or an experience of the author, and it's all created after they get inspired, so to adapt other people's songs, you have to understand the creator's mood in writing these songs, and you can't change the original soul of the song. Tan Weiwei adapted the song to understand the story behind the song, I think the adaptation is not much worse than the original song, so people who criticize her are more critical.

Secondly, it's important to follow the original idea of the song being adapted. Every song has its author's own way of thinking, and everyone who adapts a song should try to understand the thinking of the song being adapted and follow the author's way of thinking, so as not to change the author's way of thinking of creating the song, and to adapt on the original thinking of the song, so that everyone will accept the adapted song more easily. Tan Weiwei adapted the song was criticized this matter, I think it is the netizen's own personal ideas, in fact, from the professional aspect, she adapted the song is still quite successful.

I think the singer who adapted the song should understand the story behind the creation of the author of the adapted song and the idea, do not adapt too much, not only to have the original song's flavor but also to have innovation.
