Second place of season 4: Jeff Chang (Taiwan) - recorded the first album in 1989, has an unofficial title "The Prince of Love Ballads." His name is well known throughout southeast Asia.
Now let's look at how the winner of the Singer 2017 will be selected.
In this season there are several changes (from previous seasons) in the order of choosing the winner. If earlier 7 contestants entered the final, 10 participants entered the finals this season. The final is divided into two rounds. In the first round singers sing solo, after all performances of the jury (500 spectators) vote. Singers who took 9th and 10th place leave the competition. Singers who took 1st through 8th place pass to the second round. The recording of this round will be held this week - the evening of March 30th. I'll write the results of this round in the description for this video on the morning of March 31st (Friday).
In the second round of the finals (the recording will take place live on the evening of April 15th) the participants sing in a duet with other famous singers (this can be a foreign singer, a Chinese singer, or a singer from the participant's country). Most likely, the order of participants' performance in the second round of the finals will depend on the online voting, singer with who has more votes, performes the last one, most likely the voting will be launched on the same day. After all the performances, the jury (500 spectators in the hall) vote,those who will receive from 1st to 6th place stay in the show.
After the audience determined those who will receive from 1 st to 6 th place, there is a repeated vote, viewers in the hall will choose the best of 6 participants. The one who will get the first place by re-voting and will be the winner, the winner gets the title "King of the singers". It is important to clarify that the voting procedure can change, this season has many innovations. However, the overall structure will be as described above.
Now, here is my prediction: who will be the winner of the Singer 2017 season? I will express my subjective opinion, if you agree with this opinion or disagree, I ask to share your opinion in the comments under this video in youtube. Despite the fact that I'm a fan of Dimash, not a prejudiced logical reflection indicates that he will get 2nd place, the winner will be Sandy Lam (Hong Kong). Firstly, why do I consider only these two singers? The Chinese society loves justice, they are ready to encourage those who worked most of all to achieve the goal. These two singers have the best overall results for the previous 10 episodes, they have the same average score (2.8) according to the results of all the episodes before the final. The smaller this number, the better. Although formally, the results of 10 episodes do not affect the final result, the jury will consider these results when choosing the absolute winner.
Secondly, why do I think that it is Sandy Lam who will win this season? 1. The reason is not that she is a Chinese but Dimash Kazakh. The reason is different, Chinese society follows the philosophy of Confucianism, according to this philosophy, respect for the elders is of great importance. According to the opinion of Chinese society, everything that Dimash achieved despite he is so young is a great achievement. He still has everything ahead of him. Sandy Lam is a very respected singer of China, she has done a lot to popularize the Chinese language, Chinese music. 2. The jury (500 spectators) is elected as a representative sample (they are distributed according to age and gender and correspond to how the Chinese society is formed).
3. you shoul remembered that this is not a vocal contest, and not an Olympic game, it's an entertaining show. This is a very important show for us (Kazakhstani), for the Chinese themselves this is one of the entertainment shows (which are very many of them on their television). 4. We must also remember that the winner of this show receives the title "The King of Singers". Dimash is perfect for the title "Prince of Singers", but for a Chinese audience, in order for him to become a "king of singers", he needs more experience and more contribution to music. In their view, for example, Terry Lin is more suited to this title (he will be 51 this year and he did a lot for the development of Chinese music).
Imagine that a similar show is taking place on Kazakh TV, where the majority sing songs in Kazakh and the most respected singers of Kazakhstan participate. Imagine that this show is attended by a young representative from China, even if this singer sings in Kazakh and has incredible vocal range, if the audience will have a choice, for example, Meirambek Bespaev (famous kazakh singer) or a singer from China? Who do you think the audience will choose? Of course they will choose Bespaev. And again, the reason will be not at all from which country the participant is, in the understanding of the judges Meirambek Bespaev did more for Kazakh music, he is familiar to the people since childhood and has a recognizable song list. Therefore, we must remember that this show is primarily a Chinese show (not international) and they choose "the king of Chinese singers."
It is also worth noting that, no matter the results of this show for Dimash, he is already a winner (as he himself says), he was recognized not only in China but also in countries of South-East Asia. He has fans in many countries around the world. An example of this is the statistics of this channel, this channel is watched by representatives from more than 170 countries (youtube statistics). Is not this already a victory for Dimash, a victory for Kazakh music, a victory for Kazakhstan? In any case, this is my subjective opinion, share your personal opinion in the comments under this video. Like, share and subscribe to the channel Dimash MV (the channel of fan music videos for all the songs of Dimash Kudaibergen).
