Season chronology |
Singer 2018 is the sixth season of the Chinese television series Singer, a rebranded version of I Am a Singer that aired 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 and ended on April 20, 2018. For the first time this series, YouTube provided English captions for the show.
On April 13, 2018, British singer Jessie J was declared winner of Singer 2018, and was the first non-Chinese and foreign singer to win I Am a Singer. Chinese singers Hua Chenyu and Wang Feng were placed second and third, respectively.
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 following Singer 2018 contestants are listed in alphabetical order (singers without a placement for the final is listed as finalist; singers eliminated before the finals are listed as non-finalist; singers withdrew were listed as withdrawn):

The first challenger of the season was Juno Su. Due to Beijing's sudden ban on hip-hop culture, [2] GAI withdraw from the competition; footage on GAI's performances from both episodes (and re-runs) were edited out, and clips of his involvement in the competition were also subsequently removed from video-sharing websites as well. His appearance was neither mentioned nor shown in the later episodes, thus effectively confirming his withdrawal from the competition.

The final challenger of the season was Henry Huo; Huo came in fourth and was temporarily declared safe. Normally, this round would have featured elimination; however, eliminations were cancelled as Jessie J was too ill to perform during rehearsal; Jessie would have perform "My Heart Will Go On", but actually performed the song the following week.

As Jessie J was able to return after being absent in the previous week, this week featured a double elimination (any two singers with the two lowest votes, or one if Huo fails the Challenge). Tandingan and Hua were initially going to perform 1st and 3rd, respectively, but both orders were swapped on mutual agreement after Tandingan not wished to perform first after doing so on last week and Hua volunteered in taking her place.

Three of the six singers who were initial singers (Chang, Jessie J and Wang) were exempt for this round, while the other three singers would participate along with previously eliminated singers (except for GAI) for a chance to enter the finals. The performance order were determined through the contestant's status quo and their duration on the stage, with the three remaining non-initial singers (Hua, Huo, and Tengger), as well as James Li (by-virtue on performing the longest (seven shows) among other singers) chose the performance order, while remaining singers drew their lots to decide the order; the order for the first four performers with a white-colored envelope are told not to open it until the start of the episode- Tien and Yu drew the gold-colored envelopes and were given their orders as fifth and sixth, respectively.

The finals were divided into two rounds, with the first song being a duet with a guest singer, and the second song being a solo encore performance. Similar to the previous season, votes cast were the sole determinant of the season's winner.
The first round of the finals was a guest singer's duet. The grouping was decided by the singers starting with the most wins prior to the Breakouts (if there is a tie in terms of wins, a prior online vote serves as a tiebreak); each group can consist of either two or three members, meaning that two groups will be head-to-head and one being a three-way. After the groups are decided, one member drew lots to decide the order of performance for this round. The result of the grouping are reflected in the table below.
The singer with the highest number of votes on each group directly advanced to Round 2, leaving four singers eligible for the save through a re-vote; the singer receiving the highest number of votes cast will be saved and also advance to the second round.
