| Season chronology | |
I Am a Singer (season 2), is the second season of the Chinese TV series I Am a Singer produced by Hunan TV, produced by Hong Tao, and the show's music director is Kubert Leung.
The season premiered on January 3, 2014 and concluded on April 4, 2014, with a live Biennial concert aired on April 11, 2014. Chinese Singer Han Lei was the winner of the season,[1] with Hong Kong singer G.E.M. finishing as runner-up.[2]
Competition format
Most of the competition format were retained from the first season, with seven singers each week singing for a 500-member audience; they then cast their ballots for the top three singers of their preference after all the singers had performed. Both the Qualifying and Knockout round scores are combined and decide which singer with a fewer vote share was eliminated.
This season introduced format changes to the Revival round, which renamed to Breakouts; any first-round singers who survived every elimination rounds were automatically exempt and thus guaranteeing one of seven places in the finals; remaining singers compete along with eliminated singers to vie for the remaining places in the finals, where the number is seven minus the number of exempted singers. Another change made is to the withdrawn singers, singers who voluntarily withdrew from the competition without performing have not been eligible for return performances, in addition to being ineligible to participate in the Breakout rounds. In the previous season, Chyi Chin (who withdrew from the competition on week 7) was given return performance on week 10, but Chin was not eligible from participating the Revival round.
This is also the first season to feature Biennial Concert, aired one week after the finals. Unlike other weeks, Biennial concert is a live-telecast exhibition performance with no voting featuring the best singers of the season plus selected singers from former seasons, similar to Graduation in the original Korean franchise.
