Sing! China (Chinese: 中国好声音; pinyin: Zhōngguó Hǎo Shēngyīn; formerly Chinese: 中国新歌声; pinyin: Zhōngguó Xīn Gēshēng) is a Chinese singing competition television series broadcast on Zhejiang Television. It premiered during the summer on 15 July 2016. It is a re-branded version of The Voice of China, a show based on the original The Voice of Holland. It has aired three seasons and aims to find new singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. A fourth season started in July 2019. The show's broadcaster Zhejiang Television has yet to confirm a fifth season.
The winner is determined by live audience voting by SMS text. They receive a record deal with various labels for winning the competition. The winners of the three seasons have been: Jiang Dunhao 蒋敦豪, Tashi Phuntsok 扎西平措, and Tenzin Nyima 旦增尼玛.
The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured Jay Chou, Na Ying, Wang Feng, and Harlem Yu; the panel for the fourth season featured Na, Yu, Li Ronghao, and Wang Leehom. Other coaches from previous seasons include Eason Chan, Li Jian, Liu Huan, and Nicholas Tse.
Format
The series consists of three main phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. The four judges / coaches choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team. If two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.
Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining the best of four acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.
In the final phase, the remaining contestants compete against each other in live broadcasts. The audience and the coaches have equal say in deciding who moves on to the final 4 phase. With one contestant remaining for each coach, the four contestants will compete against each other in the final round with the outcome decided solely by public vote.
Second Season Rules:
Each coach will have their own team flag.
