Singing with Legends (Chinese: 我们的歌), alternately known as Our Song, is a singing variety show that pairs off rising stars with role-model singers who compete to find the best pair over 12 episodes. It was produced by SMG Shanghai TV and first premiered in China on October 27, 2019 [1].
The original concept of the show was inspired by the collaboration between Fei Yu-ching and Jay Chou on the song 千里之外 (Far Away)[2]. It sought to bridge the generations between the music industry and uplift the industry as a collective. This first season was dedicated to Fei Yu-ching as the last variety show he participated in before his retirement [3].
The "Y" logo is thematically important to the show as representation of their motto. The stage design in a "Y" shape, initial "Y" buttons to create pairs, and "Y" attachments to the singers' microphones represent the convergence of generations to promote the exchange of ideas. They fuse into a new combination after mutually agreeing to the partnership by pressing the "Y" button [3].
Show format
The singers are randomized into group A and group B to manage the . The show alternates which group is featured in the episode until the groups are slowly eliminated. The last three pairs are the sole focus of the final episodes.
To pick their partners, veteran singers anonymously listen to the rookie singers audition and decide on who to perform the initial duet with. Both singers do not know the identity of their stage partner due to a divider separating them. They undergo a blind duet. Both singers have rehearsed their parts separately but unaware how the other person will sing. After the performance, the singers decide whether to press the "Y" button to agree to form partners or not press it to have a chance to pair off with a different singer.
In the tournament episodes, duos face off in audience ranked votes. The most popular group is named the champion of the episode. The other three pairs sing additional songs to decide the second, third and fourth place winners. Episodes 7 and 8 were team battles between Groups A and B. The four singers on each of the assigned teams perform three songs as a group and do not need to stay in their original pairs. The groups needed to decide the number of participants and the order of the performances to garner the most audience votes. The groups with the lowest votes are eliminated.
The top four original pair moves onto the next phase of the competition along with two singers as audience picks from the eliminated singers to form a new duo. As such, 5 pairs proceeded to the semi-finals. The groups sing in a tournament style seen in the earlier episodes. The group with the lowest overall ranking in the semi-final episodes is eliminated. In the finals, the top three teams perform two songs to decide on the champion.
