Singer 2017 was the first season of a popular Chinese TV show called Singer. It used to be known as I Am a Singer. The show changed its name to Singer because of new rules in China about Korean brands and artists at the time. Even with the new name, the competition kept its exciting format from previous seasons.
The show was broadcast on Hunan Television and was produced by Hong Tao. A famous musician from Hong Kong, Kubert Leung, was the music director. Singer 2017 was filmed in Changsha, Hunan, starting on January 10, 2017. It then aired every week from January 21 to April 22, 2017.

Meet the Singers
This season featured many talented singers from Greater China and other parts of the world.

- Jason Zhang from I Am a Singer Season 2.
- Terry Lin and Julia Peng from I Am a Singer Season 1.
- Li Jian from I Am a Singer Season 3.
New Challengers
New singers also joined the competition later on as "challengers":
- Zhao Lei.
- Diamond Zhang.
- Liang Bo from Mainland China.
- Hong Kong-American singer Justin Lo.
How the Competition Worked
The show had different rounds, like "Qualifying" and "Knockout" rounds. In these rounds, singers performed, and the audience voted for their favorites. Singers with the fewest votes could be eliminated. New singers, called "challengers" or "returning singers," would join the competition in later rounds, making it even more exciting!
For example, in the first "Qualifying" round, singers performed, and the one with the lowest votes was usually eliminated. However, sometimes a singer might withdraw, which could change the results for others. For instance, Hins Cheung withdrew from the show after the first episode was filmed, so his performance was not shown.
Final Results
The competition was tough, but only one singer could win!
