Best Singing Competition Show... ever
There is no other competition show as good as this one. You will just watch the performances in awe, all of them. All 36 contestants are not only sweet and attractive, but they are all talented as heck and you can see how much they love what they do. The only reason the final does not have 36 Principals, ergo, Winners, is just because of the lack of confidence and/or experience... ALL of them are wonderful, and I love that each one of them had a moment where they shine on stage.
Prior starting this, I was a fan of Ayunga and Zhou Shen. I was also familiar with Gao Tianhe (because of TTXS) and Zheng Yunlong (because of YunCiFang). After finishing this, I became a fan of maybe 95% of them. Like Wang Xi... the moment he sung the first note, I was in love. I think he shines best as a solo, instead of in a group, but I loved how he supported ZS who had little confidence in himself.
Yu Di was so consistent and each of his performances was a standing ovation one. I guess I loved the most experienced artists (they were unbeatable), like him, Wang Kai, YunCiFang and Wang Xi. In that sense it was amazing to see Cai-Cai, who was one of the youngest, to perform each time like a pro. Still, there are others not that experienced but still performed like stars, like Li Qi (that voice! Their renditon of "The Sound of Silence"... wow); Liao Jialin (he suited Wang Kai so well); Zhai Lishuotian (he was born to be on stage).
I looove the bond btw Ayunga and Dalong, and how much they love the art of musicals. They were the harshest judges on themselves, and the best mentors on the younger guys in their team. Each of their duets was a pleasure to watch (their chemistry!) and there is no doubt Ayunga was the star of the show. The judges adored him and the competitors were always clapping for him. Ayunga singing in French? His French wasn't as good as the other two but who cares when his harmonizations are the best? The rendition of "I'll cover you" with ZYL... how much they improved from their uni days!
I love that there is no elimination (all 36 are there till the end) and I am thrilled that this show made them popular and made bel canto and musicals a much popular genre in China. The guys were mostly there to make this art more well known and to improve themselves. I am not lying when I say I am rooting for each one of them (ok, not so much for Gao Tianhe haha, such a diva) and I looove that the Professor Liao who was also a judge, made some good advices and even invited the 1975 children :) and even Yu Di got some job offers! I love it :)
I wish I could read more about each one of them and see what are they performing now, if they are still in this bussiness and what happen to each one of them. At least we still have Yuncifang and Zhou Shen and Wang Xi **teary-eyes**
There are 2 versions, the normal one (1hr30min each ep) and the extended one (2hrs each ep approx). I wish I could watch the extended version, but the subs in youtube are not synchronized, while in DM are ( the normal version). So please watch this amazing show on Dailymotion... YT also mutes some performances.
