Bel Canto Style
I'm watching this after watching "Our Song". My favourites from "Our Song" are on this show (Zhou Shen, Ayanga and Zheng Yun Long). As a bonus, Henry's here too (I'm a super junior fan).The talent blows me a way. I'm not familiar with the "Bel Canto" style and this is what they're trying to develop on this show. They have a lot of young singers competing to be "principals". There's no elimination rounds, but there will only be 6 principals that are guaranteed to perform on each episode and the final 6 will have an album and tour.
Being very... shallow, my first thought was "omg they're so good looking" when I saw the singers. My image of Bel Canto singers was shattered. I know Ayanga was good looking but he's not the only one. hahaha xD.
My favourite singers are are Ayanga, Zheng Yun Long, Wang Xi, Zhou Shen and Jia Fan. Some of the reasons is for talent. But it's partly because I like their personalities.
Ayanga shines in here. I think he's funny and he gets a lot of screen time. Ayanga and Zheng Yun Long are like older brothers to the new singers. I was so glad when they took them under their wing. They're also both really talented musical theatre singers. Zheng Yun Long's voice is like melted chocolates. I can listen to him all day. When they sing together it's like O_O
Wang Xi is also like an older brother to Zhou Shen , but I really love the richness of his voice. Honestly, it's also because he was so nice to Zhou Shen and kept encouraging and believing in him that made me like him. T_T.
Zhou Shen - haha he was already my favourite from "Our Song," so I was Zhou Shen biased. It says something about the level of talent when Zhou Shen is actually considered...weaker than the rest . However, what I learned is, he wasn't actually trained! That blows my mind. He said something like "I just sang at home." (without formal training). I still love his voice. It's just heartbreaking to see him not being picked, but there are better singers than him on this show.
Jai Fan - I really like how he sings. He does have his heartwarming moments, but I really like his singing. hhahah it was so cute when they showed him wearing his PJs.
My favourite performances (that I can remember): Beauty and the Beast (Zheng Yunlong and Zhang Chao). Phantom of the Opera (Zheng Yunlong and Ayanga, Ayanga's Mongolian song solo, Zhou Shen's Memory, Zhou Shen's Lonely Goatherd, Sound of Silence (Wang Xi, Li Qi, Ju Hongchuan), Hawthorn Tree (Wang Xi, Zhou Shen, Liu Binhao)
This is more serious than "Our Song" and the style is quite different. I like this though, as it introduces me to a different type of style of singing. The subs are YouTube are a bit messed up (timing is off) so I'm mostly watching it raw.
Also the uploads are YouTube (from China HunanTV Official Channel) are a bit weird. the sound mutes (it's not even a copyright issue because it mutes when they speak and it's not muted for a complete song). They also cut performances strangely for some reason (you see the intro then the end, but not the singing for some songs).

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.
