Our Song 2020 (2020)

Changed Format From S1

They changed the format from S1 and it's not for the better. I'm so confused with what they were trying to achieve with the changes. The changes didn't even make any sense and made the show messy.

They had an "X" group for some strange reason. Why couldn't they... just audition with everyone else? They also swapped out a few singers for some reason. This has happened in S1, but it was only a few episodes, because Na Ying was busy...but S2, they did that on purpose. I think they probably had too many "mentors" interested in the show...

Also, Group A is a lot weaker than Group B. Group A consists of younger, and less experienced singers. Group B, with the exception of Roy Wang, are in their 30s. However Roy Wang is part of the TFBoys, which are super popular.

I also didn't like how after a duo that gets the most points in a battle episode gets into the finals. They continue to do this until they have a final five. So basically, we end up with more episodes with the weaker singers, and the stronger group...sings less, which makes no sense to me.

My favourite performance: Coco Lee and Zheng Yunlong's A Million Dreams.

Zheng Yunlong is my favourite "new" singer. His vocals are solid. His performances are really good and I never felt like skipping them. He challenges himself and changes genres. Ballads are his forte.

Funniest Contestant: Taiyi. He's so shy that it's so funny watching him squirm. By the end of the show, I think he became a bit more outspoken. Even though he's so shy off stage, once he's on stage, he becomes a very different person.

I felt S1 focused more on vocals and S2 focused more on performance.

I've enjoyed S1 a lot more than S2 as I felt the groups were stronger vocally and more interesting. I think a few singers picked a partner that sounded too similar to themselves. I wish there was more contrast between the partners.

This is not Our Song

Season two has many changes to the rules of the program. These changes are supposed to make the show more spectacular, but when perfection is improved, you can only spoil something.
I do not see an exchange of knowledge and experience between generations here. I get the impression that this season no longer serves to teach young singers something, but only to satisfy the audience and gain viewership. This program has become a commercial money hunter rather than a sweet program to educate young artists and the audience. For example, I do not understand why some people found themselves in the Youth group when they have achieved such high achievements.
I am very dissatisfied with practically everything. The changes the production has made are too big and it's just not my beloved Our Song anymore, so they should give it a different title. I drop this show at the end of episode 4.
