Singing with Legends (Chinese: 我们的歌), alternately known as Our Song, is a singing variety show that pairs 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 in the music industry and revive classic songs that may have been forgotten.[3] This first season was dedicated to Fei Yu-ching as the last variety show he participated in before his retirement.[4][5]

The "Y" logo is thematically important to the show beyond the "Y" standing for the "Eternal Youth" in their motto. The stage design is a "Y" shape, there are "Y" buttons to create pairs, and "Y" attachments to the singers' microphones. This represents the convergence of generations to promote the exchange of ideas.[4]

Show format

[edit]

The singers are randomized into group A and group B to manage the large number of participants. The show alternates which group was featured in the episode until they are slowly eliminated. The last three pairs compete for the final title of "Golden Partners", the runner-ups receive the title of "Silver Partners".[6]

Both rookie and veteran singers were anonymized using facial blurring and voice modifications until the rookie sangs in "auditions". The veteran singer bids for the rookie singer they want to duet with. Participating singers have rehearsed their parts separately, but are unable to see their partner and do not know how they will sing the song, hence the description of a "blind duet". [7] 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 faced off in audience-ranked votes. The most popular group was named the champion of the episode. The other three pairs sang 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.[8] As such, five pairs proceeded to the semi-finals. The groups sing in the 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.

At the end of the season, singers have been invited back to perform encores or new renditions of songs they did not get the chance to perform during the New Year Spring Gala. [9]

Other season information

[edit]

The format for the other seasons is similar but may have a few small deviations. Season 2 featured guest singers Alan Tam and Li Jian that did not participate in the pair formation.[10] Season 3 introduced one additional rookie singer to participate in each group that were eliminated if they were not able to form a partner. Season 4 introduced a new tier of "mid-generation stars" that were established singers but did not have the seniority on par with the role model singers. [11][12] Similarly, any one who is not able to be paired were eliminated. Season 5 maintained a similar format to the previous season. [13][14]

Season 6 led to a format shift where singers only participate in two episodes before changing to a new group with five groups in total. Their points are tallied up to perform in the final episodes. The first episode they participate in is the "blind duet" trial to pick a partner and the second episode is one performance from each group. There was no delineation between role model singers and rookie singers in this season. It is believed that the change was to help create flexible scheduling for singers and accommodate more international participants like Dimash [15] and Shila Amzah.[16]
