湖南台的《我是歌手》节目形式借鉴自韩国文化广播公司

Instead of newcomers jostling for a share of the limelight, the format here pits professional singers against each other. There are no judges. Instead, the singers are ranked according to the votes cast by a live audience.

和那些让新人去争夺眼球的节目不同，《我是歌手》让职业歌手们互相竞争。节目中没有裁判，由现场观众对歌手们进行投票排名。

2. Kit Chan is the first Singaporean to appear on the show.

陈洁仪是第一个参加该节目的新加坡歌手

This season's other contestants include Taiwan's A-lin and Chinese singers Anson Hu, Sun Nan and Jane Zhang, previously seen on Hunan TV's talent show Super Girl. The new season starts on Jan 2.

新一季的《我是歌手》于1月2日开始。除了陈洁仪，本季参赛歌手还包括台湾的A-Lin和大陆的胡彦斌、孙楠，以及曾参加湖南卫视选秀节目《超级女声》的张靓颖。

3. A contestant has to sing material by other singers except for the first song, and, if he or she makes it that far, for the finale number.

参赛选手的第一首歌和最后一首歌(如果他能走的足够远)必须是其他歌手的作品。

For her first number, Chan picked Shino Lin's Tempting Heart, a ballad she had covered on her last album Re-interpreting Kit Chan (2011).

陈洁仪的第一首歌是《心动》，她曾在2011年的《重译》专辑里收录了这首由林晓培原唱的伤感情歌。

4. I Am A Singer has boosted the careers of artists

《我是歌手》让参赛者爆红

Artists who have benefited from being on the show include Hong Kong's G.E.M., Malaysia's Shila Amzah and Taiwan's Terry Lin. G.E.M. brings her X.X.X. Live World Tour to the Max Pavilion in Singapore for an impressive three nights from Jan 30 to Feb 1 while Shila performed at the Skechers Sundown Festival 2014 on Nov 22.

受益于该节目的歌手包括香港的邓紫棋、马来西亚的茜拉和台湾的林志炫。邓紫棋在1月30日到2月1日连续3晚在新加坡博览中心举办X.X.X. Live世界巡回演唱会。茜拉则在11月22日参演了2014斯凯奇日落音乐节。

5. The host is not exempt from elimination.

主持人也有被淘汰的可能

Hong Kong's Leo Ku is the emcee in the current season and he follows in the footsteps of Chinese pop duo Yu Quan, who won in the inaugural edition in 2013, and Taiwanese pop singer Phil Chang.

来自香港的古巨基接过2013年的首任主持大陆组合羽泉和台湾歌手张宇的主持棒，担任本季的主持人。
