Singer 2024 (2024)

a bold attempt at reviving the Singer franchise

it’s been a number of years since Singer has aired, and this season saw both the introduction of the live (直播) format as well as the inclusion of more foreign singers. the execution of the latter was much better than the former - the two foreign singers who were part of the starting line-up (Faouzia and Chanté Moore) have solid technical skills and artistry, and the show also managed to bring in some big foreign names like Adam Lambert and Lenka. where the show lacks slightly is in the quality of the local challengers, which lowers the drama or tension of the “challenge” format towards the end of the season. that being said, the show does give us quite a few enjoyable music performance while steering clear of the sob story/overly dramatic narratives employed by some other music shows. worth a watch if you really enjoy music variety, otherwise you might be better off just watching some short clips of the performances.
