On the 14th, Hunan Satellite TV held the first global press conference of "Singer 2025", officially announced the starting lineup, and held the first lottery for singing order on the spot. The starting singer and the program team also responded positively about the controversy arising from this year's "singer" lineup.

　　More than half of the starting lineup were announced as "acquaintances"

　　The starting lineup this time includes familiar faces of "singers" represented by Lin Zhixuan, Chen Chusheng, Bai Jugang, and GAI Zhou Yan. The three international guests are BENI from Japan and Mickey Guyton from the United States and Grace Kinstler from the United States. The newcomer Shan Yichun is the only "post-00s" contestant among mainland singers. More than half of the contestants in the starting lineup have participated in the previous "singers", so some viewers think that they lack novelty.

　　In response, the program producer Zhang Danyang revealed that the program team has made corresponding efforts to target the singer lineup discussed by online audiences. "The eight singers currently on stage and the singers who are about to appear on this stage are the best lineup for the program team to invite, have the courage to come, and can sing. "Singer Lin Zhixuan also boldly "open the mic", saying that the only reason for this "re-making" this time is that the "singer" adopted the full mic, full real singing and real live broadcast mode since last year. "I am about to turn 60, and I am looking forward to the next music journey. If it weren't for live broadcast, I wouldn't come back."

　　Singer Chen Chusheng believes that the live broadcast format gives him a feeling of returning to his debut, "This LIVE format must be persisted in. There are always people who have to do this, and I hope to regain the initial feeling on the stage." GAI admitted that although there is an elimination crisis, I am fearless and just want to sing happily when I come to this show. Facing the comments from the outside world, Bai Jugang confidently stated that he would use his strength to let the audience know him and tell everyone, "I am the good singer Bai Jugang." Mickey Gayton said that being able to come to "Singer" is an honor in itself, and it cannot hide the excitement and happiness in your heart. BENI hopes to show her most comfortable state on this LIVE stage. She has her own mysterious power and has strong resistance to stress when facing live broadcasts.

　　He Jiong and Shen Mengchen continue to partner with host

　　According to reports, in addition to the starting lineup, the "old friends" He Jiong and Shen Mengchen of last season will continue to host this season's program, and singer Hu Haiquan has also returned and served as the talker of this season again. The first round of the competition is 8 to 7, and the eight singers who started will eliminate one person. The lottery was immediately performed on the spot. The final first round of singing is as follows: BENI, Chen Chusheng, Mickey Guyton, Shan Yichun, Grace Kinstler, Lin Zhixuan, GAI Zhou Yan, and Bai Jugang.

　　The program will also subvert the traditional qualifying mode. Eight starting singers will face the joint judgment of the three parties - on-site public hearings, cloud international hearings, and national accompaniment team to conduct 8-choice and 3 votes simultaneously. The one with the lowest votes will be eliminated in the first game.

　　Create a "referendum"

　　The program also launched a special section for "One National Watching" where 500 public hearings on the scene will become "virtual agents", online users will enter the "cloud entry" mode, and use virtual agents to directly hit the real-time emotions and voting dynamics of the on-site jury through the virtual agents. This season's program also pioneered the "AI Emotion Recognition" gameplay, relying on advanced AI visual analysis technology to capture the emotional fluctuations of the on-site jury in real time. When the emotions of the on-site audience reach a peak, the online emotional resonance effect can be triggered, bringing online audiences the immersive feeling that they are on the scene. The program will also create a new "referendum viewing" system, upload the results of the on-site jury voting to the cloud in real time, and vividly display the "on-site vote dynamics" through online virtual seat maps. Online users can view it one by one simultaneously, allowing all viewers to "zero distance" to witness the entire process from voting to results, and witness the fairness and justice of live broadcast competitions.

　　The program will also upgrade the live broadcast mode technology, and the cloud director will be fully upgraded to a "horizontal and vertical integration mode" that is more in line with user needs, opening a new panoramic live broadcast experience. At the same time, "Singer 2025" will fully realize 4K ultra-high-definition live broadcast on Mango TV, leading the audience to watch with a new "top 4K visual effect". The program will be broadcast live on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV every Friday at 19:45 on Friday. Beijing Evening News reporter Li Xiazhi
