Basic Rules

In the original episodes, 7 singers sing in a certain order. The first 10 episodes are divided into 5 rounds. After Eps. 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, or the second weeks of the rounds, the person who ranks last (in combined voting scores) will be eliminated.

After the eliminations, another singer will replace his or her original state.

Pot Luck

The songs of Pot Luck in Ep. 8 of Season 1 are selected by the audience online. Each of the singers can choose three from the songs which he or she doesn't want to sing. If one of the three songs is chosen, he can choose another one. There are no pot luck in season 2.

Season 1 Ep.10: Chyi Chin's special

The tenth episode is the special of Chyi Chin. All the singers must perform one of Chyi's songs.

Second Chance

In Ep. 11 of Season 1, 5 eliminated singers are given one more chance to the semi-final. All the singers must sing for 2 rounds, one is an adaptation, and another one is their own song. The person has highest rank will given the "Second Chance" to the Finale. In Season 2, the resurrection race is replaced by a Breakthrough/Resurrection, meaning the eliminated contestants will compete against the singers they replace to earn a spot back into the semifinals. In season 2, all replacement singers (except for Luo Qi due to her retirement from the contest because of her pregnancy) competed against eliminated singers and each other for a chance to compete in the semifinals. So for example, if there are only 3 people from the first show left to go right into the finals, there will be 4 repechage spots up for grabs.

Return Performances

These are exhibition performances by eliminated contestants to return and perform with no competition complications. An example was when Chyi Chin return in episode 10 of season 1 as a guest judge, but opted to perform a song by Teresa Teng. In season 2, all performers returned to perform at the odd-numbered rounds after elimination.

Duet with Guest Singers

In the first segment of the finals in Season 2, the seven finalists have to perform a duet with musical guests. Shila Amzah performed with Huang Qishan, G.E.M. performed with Khalil Fong, Zhang Jie performed with JJ Lin, Gary Chaw performed with Tan Weiwei, Bibi Zhou performed with Shin and Phil Chang performed with Julian Chen. The only exception is that Han Lei performed a trio with Zhang Jiayi and Tiger Hu.[2] In the first segment of the finals in Season 3, Han Hong performed with Eason Chan, and in the second segment, she was declared as the winner of Season 3.

Challenge Round

In Season 3, every third round is a "Challenge Round", whereby a young singer, defined as being in the music industry for no more than 10 years, will attempt to directly qualify into the competition against the remaining artists. They have to finish within the top 4 to ensure their successful qualification, failing which they will be eliminated. If they do successfully qualify, the lowest ranking singer will be eliminated. After this "Challenge Round", the next round reverts back to normal whereby an invited veteran singer will join the cast. This veteran does not need to finish within the top 4 to remain in the competition.

Internal voting

In Season 3, the results for peer voting between artists are open to air so they can pick and predict the top 3 vote-getters, but will not be added to the final results.
