This time, "Singer 2024" innovates the program format and changes the program to a real-time live broadcast format. Regarding the live broadcast of the show, Na Ying said in an interview at the press conference of "Singer 2024" that receiving the invitation to the show was originally a surprise, but it became a "fright" after knowing that it was a live broadcast. But she also believes that even if there is a "car accident" scene in the live broadcast, as long as the emotions are there, that kind of voice is charming.
The first live broadcast of "Singer 2024" will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV at 8 pm on May 10, Na Ying, Rainie Yang, Wang Sulong, and Hailai Amu The four singers have all chosen the representative works of their original songs as the first competition songs, namely the songs "Silence", "Take Me Away", "Think of Us", and "Your Thousands of Rivers and Mountains".
Na Ying, known as "China's first day after", her music albums have exceeded 23 million sales in Asia before 2001, and was once named "the favorite voice of 1.3 billion Chinese" by Time magazine, and has the reputation of Whitney Houston of the East. As an old-timer in the music industry, Na Ying has many popular classic songs, such as "Conquest", "Meet 1998", "Day Doesn't Understand the Darkness of Night", "Laugh Through", etc., the song "Conquest" won the Most Popular TOP20 Song Award in the 5th Chinese Chart, "Meet 1998" was on the stage of the 1998 Spring Festival Gala, won the most popular pop song in the mainland at the 1st CCTV-MTV Music Festival, and the Best Song Award in the 5th Global Chinese Music Chart.
Na Ying is not only widely sung in music, but also loves her personality by netizens. Na Ying used to be a judge of "The Voice of China", and was loved by many netizens because of her sharp comment style, and this time she participated in "Singer 2024", some netizens ridiculed Na Ying as a judge, and other singers covered Na Ying's masterpieces to increase the interest of the show.
Wang Sulong, whose representative works "Year Rings", "A Little Sweet", "Little Star", "Love Without Breaking Up", "A Smile Allure", etc., won many best newcomer awards such as the Music Pioneer List and the Oriental Billboard in 2012 with "Gravity", and won the Most Popular Singer-Songwriter Award at the 25th "Oriental Billboard" Music Festival in 2018.

In 2018, she won the "Most Popular Female Singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan" award on the Asian New Song Chart.
The starting lineup of Hailai Amu and the second-hand rose band sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Singer Hailai Amu became popular on the Douyin platform, and his main representative works include "Three Lives and Three Blessings", "Your Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains", "A Guoji Song", "But the World", "It's Better to See One" and so on. As an online singer, Hailai Amu's songs have almost swept the playlists of the post-70s and post-80s, and are widely loved by middle-aged groups. The Spring Festival Gala and the single pure chorus song "It's Better to See Each Other" have received more attention, but their singing skills are still questioned by young netizens. Some netizens commented, "Can Hailai Amu be eliminated in the first issue", "Is Hailai Amu a singer", "Hailai Amu, I really didn't expect it".
Founded in 1999, Second Hand Roses is a rock band with lead singer Liang Long, guitarist Yao Lan, bassist Li Ziqiang, folk music Wu Zekun and drummer Sun Quan. Their musical style has been controversial: Liang Long's gimmick of disguising men and women has been criticized as "pseudo-rock" and "showing off ethnic elements" and so on. Some netizens questioned that it did not match the tone of the show, was sensational, and there was no good representative work.
"Singer 2024" has changed the style of previous programs, and it is difficult to guarantee the popularity.
In the past, the "Singer" program mostly invited seniors with good singing skills, such as Han Lei, Han Hong, Sun Nan, Li Jian, Lin Yilian, Zhang Shaohan, Deng Ziqi, Zhang Liangying and other singers, but now "Singer 2024" has changed the positioning and style of the program, inviting singers such as Hailai Amu and Second-hand Rose, which tend to sink into the market, so as to win the love of audiences of all ages. It is unknown whether the ratings of the program can be guaranteed.
"Singer 2024" has a vague positioning this time, neither continuing the fine tradition of previous programs, inviting seniors and powerful young singers, nor has a clear program positioning. In the previous seasons of "Singer", powerful singers such as Deng Ziqi and Huang Liling (A-Lin) were known and loved by more people because of the show "Singer", and the show also tapped more musical talents for the mainland music scene, and this time "Singer 2024" seems to have deviated from the original intention of the previous show. Many of the singers invited to the show are frequent guests of variety shows, and netizens are inevitably a little aesthetically tired and unable to arouse interest. What kind of ratings will "Singer 2024" achieve in the end? Let's wait and see.
