Intense singing battle is heating up between Terry Lin and Aska Yang!

Hunan TV’s I am a Singer <我是歌手> is the Chinese version of the Korean singing competition programme. It features talented and veteran singers performing for a group of live audience, which votes to eliminate one singer in each week’s competition.

Although the finale will see a line-up of polished singers such as Julia Peng, Winnie Hsin, Susan Huang, Yu Quan and etc, many are placing their bets on Terry and Aska. Terry has a brilliant record since entering into the competition from the fifth episode. He has clinched the top spot thrice and has maintained in the top three position in each week’s competition.

Aska was initially booted out from the show in the fourth episode, but rejoined the competition after clinching the top spot in the wildcard round. In the semi-final, Aska made a successful comeback and took the first spot, edging Terry into the second spot.

Change of voting rule places Aska favourably? 

Since starting out, I am a Singer has adopted a one-person-three-votes system. However, the voting rule for the semi-final has changed to a one-person-one-vote system.

Terry voiced out that it was an inappropriate voting system as the competition has now become a popularity contest, given that the voter can only cast one vote. Terry’s statement was widely seen as a hint that Aska had clinched the top spot based on his popularity instead of his singing ability.

Fans attack one another 

Terry’s remark was blasted by Aska’s fans as “sour grapes”. Terry’s fans have also retaliated by using the H7N9 virus to attack Aska. One fan wrote, “Quickly kill the pigeon to prevent it from harming the mankind.” Pigeon <鴿子> is a hit track in Aska’s first album.

Terry’s fans have also deemed Aska’s singing to be less superior as Terry was a judge in the Taiwanese singing contest, One Million Star <超級星光大道> which ironically, Aska was a contestant then.

Aska has urged fans to be calm and rational. He said, “I also hope that mentor Terry Lin will do Taiwan proud and win the music king title.”

As for the ‘H7N9 attack’ on him, Aska marvellously replied, “I hope that everyone will take preventive measures during the bird flu period. If possible, we should just enjoy vegetarian food while watching I am a Singer.
