Chinese music duo Yu Quan, which consists of members Chen Yufan (陳羽凡) and Hu Haiquan (胡海泉), were the inaugural winners of I Am a Singer on the finale aired live broadcast on April 12, 2013.

Production

edit

I Am a Singer consist of 13 weeks of shows. The first 10 episodes were competition stage divided by five rounds of two episodes, each having a Qualifier and a Knockout round; followed by a Revival episode, Semi-finals and Grand finals. Each episode have a lineup of seven singers competing for the votes of the 500-member studio audience, with a role to decide the outcome at the end of the episode; each member will cast a vote of three singers of their preference, while the semi-finals round onwards changes to a single vote. These votes are accumulative over two episodes and the singer receiving the lowest votes after the Knockout round was eliminated, after which a new round begins with the vote count reset and a new singer will substitute in the place for the previously-eliminated singer.

Each singer was also assigned by the production to a manager or Music Partner, who would serve as an advisor for the singer; when the singer is voted out, the corresponding Music Partner will also be eliminated. Each show (except for the finals) do not have a fixed host, but the host was chosen from one of any eligible singers doubling as a role of the host; like Music Partners, singers will forfeit the hosting role upon their elimination.

Revival round

edit

The season was originally announced to last 12 weeks without a Revival round; on Week 8, producer Hong Tao announced the Revival round will be added between the fifth Knockout and the semi-finals. Held after the final Knockout round on Week 11, the five previously eliminated singers (except Chyi Chin, due to his withdrawal) compete for the seventh and final place in the semi-finals. Each singer performed two songs, a rendition and an original, with votes cast in-between rounds. These votes are accumulative and the singer receiving a higher vote will be reinstated from the competition.

The season only featured eliminated singers while remaining singers (both initial and substitute singers) were exempt from the round; beginning on the next season, substitute singers were required to participate in the Revival round, due to time constraints and a lineup of many singers, singers sang only one song for the round.

Finals

edit

The Grand finals were held live on April 12, 2013 over 4-hours starting at 7.30pm. Singers each compete for the title by performing two songs, a duet with a guest performer, and a solo. Votes cast after each round carries a percentage which would be converted into a score to determine the winning singer. The finals also invited previously eliminated and withdrawn singers to perform an additional, returning performance. This is the only season to date to do so; starting in the next season, though not mentioned or otherwise, only eliminated singers were invited to watch the performance.
