外媒看中國 《我是歌手》不可不知的5件事
1. The Hunan TV programme's format is actually from South Korea's MBC network.
湖南臺的《我是歌手》節目形式借鑑自韓國文化廣播公司
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.
和那些讓新人去爭奪眼球的節目不同，《我是歌手》讓職業歌手們互相競爭。節目中沒有裁判，由現場觀衆對歌手們進行投票排名。
2. Kit Chan is the first Singaporean to appear on the show.
陳潔儀是第一個參加該節目的新加坡歌手
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》於1月2日開始。除了陳潔儀，本季參賽歌手還包括臺灣的A-Lin和大陸的胡彥斌、孫楠，以及曾參加湖南衛視選秀節目《超級女聲》的張靚穎。
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.
參賽選手的第一首歌和最後一首歌（如果他能走的足夠遠）必須是其他歌手的作品。
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).
陳潔儀的第一首歌是《心動》，她曾在2011年的《重譯》專輯裏收錄了這首由林曉培原唱的傷感情歌。
4. I Am A Singer has boosted the careers of artists
《我是歌手》讓參賽者爆紅
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.
受益於該節目的歌手包括香港的鄧紫棋、馬來西亞的茜拉和臺灣的林志炫。鄧紫棋在1月30日到2月1日連續3晚在新加坡博覽中心舉辦X.X.X. Live世界巡迴演唱會。茜拉則在11月22日參演了2014斯凱奇日落音樂節。
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.
來自香港的古巨基接過2013年的首任主持大陸組合羽泉和臺灣歌手張宇的主持棒，擔任本季的主持人。
