Sing! China season 2
Template:Infobox reality music competition The second season of the Chinese reality talent show Sing! China premiered on 14 July 2017 on Zhejiang Television. Jay Chou and Na Ying returned as coaches. Eason Chan and Liu Huan replaced Wang Feng and Harlem Yu as coaches. The show is hosted by Hu Qiaohua, who had previously hosted the finals in the previous season and replaced Li Yong, who left after just one season.
Coaches and hosts
On 24 November 2016, Jay Chou was confirmed to be returning for his second season. Eason Chan was also announced to join the show as a new coach, which effectively confirmed that there would be changes to the coaching panel with at least one of the coaches from the previous season exiting the show.[1] On 8 December, it was claimed by an unknown media outlet that Liu Huan, who was formerly a coach on The Voice of China, would also be joining the show as a coach. Lu Wei, the show's publicity director, later refuted the claim.[2] On 28 March 2017, Na Ying was confirmed to be returning for her second season.[3] A month later, on 28 April, Wang Feng issued a statement via his management to announce his departure from the show to focus on his music career, but hinted a possibility of returning in the future seasons.[4] On the same day following Wang's announcement, a photo showing a promotional banner that was claimed to have set up at one of the show's preliminary auditions began to circulate online. The banner in question revealed Liu as part of the coaching lineup, together with the other three coaches who have all been confirmed to join the show. With this, Liu was once again rumoured to be joining the show to fill the final seat on the coaching panel. Lu once again refuted the claim, stating that the promotional banner is "fake", and the team has yet to finalise on the selection of the final coach.[5] However, despite the constant denial from Lu, Liu was announced on 19 May as the fourth coach to join the show, via one of the show's promotional video.[6] Harlem Yu was therefore confirmed to have left the show.[7]
Up till the airing of the premiere episode, it was not revealed who would take on the hosting role for the second season. It was previously rumoured that Li Yong would not return for his second season and be replaced by Shen Tao, a host from Zhejiang Telvision.[8] On 14 July, Hu Qiaohua was revealed on the premiere episode as the host for the season, with Li exiting the show.
