Singer season 6

Singer 2018 is the sixth season of Chinese television series Singer, a rebranded version of I Am a Singer that will air on Hunan Television. It is produced by Hong Tao, and its music director is Hong Kong senior musician Kubert Leung. The first episode was recorded in the Hunan Broadcasting System Radio and Television Center, Changsha, Hunan on December 28, 2017 and premiered on January 12, 2018.

The finals first aired on April 13, 2018, and concluded on April 20, 2018. British Singer Jessie J was the winner of Singer 2018, making her the first non-Chinese and foreign singer to win the competition, and was also the first singer to rank in top three on all her performing weeks throughout the season. Chinese singer Hua Chenyu and Wang Feng were placed second and third, respectively.

Competitions rules

As like the previous seasons of I Am a Singer and Singer 2017, Singer 2018 was divided into four rounds of three stages, and seven singers performed for a 500-member audience each week. Similar to the previous series, the total votes cast from both Qualifiers and Knockouts determined which singer was eliminated from the competition.

This series features a modification to the Challenge rounds, with the Challenger entering the competition starting at the Knockout rounds instead of Challenge round (where a new substitute singer would enter the competition instead). Challengers must avoid last place on their first week in addition to finishing in the top four on the second week (in a combination of both knockout and challenge rounds) to be declared safe; failing either challenge instantly eliminates the singer from the competition.

A new pre-voting introduced in the season, Pre-Audience Voting, replaces the Singer Voting which debuted in season 3. Midway after the fourth performance, the audience were asked to make early predictions on which three singers would receive the most votes after the remaining performances of that episode. Similar to Singer Voting, Pre-audience voting has no impact onto the outcome of the competition (with one exception, see below) and does not count towards the audience's vote count.

The announcement of results was also changed, with only the results for the top four revealed during the Qualifiers, while the remaining results (bottom three) would not be revealed until the Knockouts; in most cases, they could choose their performance order by ballot for the next night.

The first substitute singer of the season was James Li. Normally Juno Su was required to place in top four in a combination of both Knockout and Challenge rounds to be declared safe; however, due to GAI's withdrawal from last week, only the scores from the Challenge round determined the outcome alone.

• Taping Date: March 30, 2018
• Airdate: April 6, 2018

Three of the six singers who were first round singers (Angela Chang, Jessie J and Wang Feng) were exempted for this round, while the other three singers would participate along with the ousted singers (except for GAI) for a chance to enter the finals. The order for this round were determined through the contestant's status quo and their duration on the stage. The three surviving non-first round singers (Hua Chenyu, Henry Huo and Tengger), as well as James Li (by-virtue on performing the longest (seven shows) among eliminated singers), can choose the performance order for the night without balloting, while the remaining six singers were determined through ballot (the order for the first four performers (who draw their white envelopes instead of gold) were not revealed until the start of taping).

For the first time in the show's history, there will be elimination during the Pre-Audience Voting (midway through the fourth and seventh performance); the singer receiving the lowest number of votes after each round of the Pre-Audience Voting will be eliminated immediately (breakout failure).

The singers sang one song, and the four singers (of the remaining eight) having the most votes qualified for the finals. Hua Chenyu, James Li, Tengger & Henry Huo were the top four singers who received the highest number of votes, and advanced to the finals.
