Singer 2019, the seventh season of the hit TV series Singer, premiered on Hunan TV on Friday last week. Hosted by Taiwanese singer Wu Qingfeng this season, the seven contestants on the singing competition reality show include Wu himself, Taiwanese singer Chyi Yu, Chinese singers Liu Huan, Yang Kun, Melanie Zhang, rock band Escape Plan and Bulgarian-Russian singer Kristian Kostov.
In the first episode, Wu, the lead singer of pop group Sodagreen, brought many of the 500 audience members serving as judges to tears with his performance of the group’s 2011 song “Swallow’s Nest.” He revealed that he was so nervous that he was shaking on the stage when hosting the show.
Wu took the second place in the first round this season. Liu, who has entered the show to promote his fund for original music creation, was in first place while Chyi came third, followed by Kostov. The rankings of the other three singers coming below them are to be announced in today’s show.
