Season 6

Singer 2017 was the fifth season of the Chinese television series of the rebranded version of I Am a Singer . Due to the banning of Korean-related brands and artists in China, the series went with a rebranding under a simplified title of Singer, but otherwise retained similar competition format from the past four seasons of I Am a Singer. This is the only season in which no singers doubled their roles as the hosts, and He Jiong, who hosted the finale after a year's absence, served as the host.

Contents

The fifth season premiered on January 21, 2017, on Hunan Television, and ended on April 22, 2017. Hong Kong singer Sandy Lam was named the winner of the season, Kazakhstan's Dimash Kudaibergen and Taiwanese band Lion were named runner-up and third place, respectively.

Competition rules

In spite of the renaming of the show, the format was otherwise similar from previous seasons of I Am a Singer. As seen in the last season, the competing singers performed on stage and the 500-member audience panel voted, deciding the outcome of the results. At the end of each Knockout round, the singer with the fewest votes combined from both Qualifier and Knockouts was eliminated.

The Challenge round twist first seen in the third season, also returned with a modification with two singers (one Challenger and one Returning Singer from previous seasons) entering the competition. As in the previous series, in order to be safe, challengers, but not returning singers, had to beat a majority of singers by ranking in the top four or better, while the results from the Challenge rounds were counted individually.

This is the only season to have an increased number of finalists (ten), and the first season to feature returning singers from previous seasons. This was the last season to feature Singer voting which was introduced in Season 3.

Breakout

Three of the six singers who were initial singers (Lam, Lion and Kudaibergen) were exempt for this round, while the other three singers (with the exception of Cheung, Tan and Lei; Lei was however eligible but unable to take part due to scheduling conflicts on his concert [8] ) participated with eliminated singers for a chance to enter the semi-finals. The order was decided on ballot, with the exception of surviving non-initial singers (Li, Lin and Jason) who could choose their performance order for the night without ballot.

For the first time, the number of finalists was increased from seven to ten, thus seven Breakout spots were offered, and the top seven singers receiving the highest number of votes advanced to the semi-finals.
