Episodes One to Two were introductions to every performer, with brief auditions for each person. The judges chose their top six performers, and I decided to do the same!

My favorite performance:
郑云龙 Zheng Yunlong, 就在这瞬间 This is the Moment
Top-notch vocals and a moving performance as well. My gold standard for this song is Anthony Warlow, and Zheng Yunlong honestly doesn't lose out to him here.

#2: 余笛 Yu Di, Les Champs Elysees
Beautiful emotions. A lot of the times when these guys sing in a foreign language, their pronunciation & lack of comprehension really weakens the performance, so this was a breath of fresh air in comparison

#3: 高天鹤 Gao Tianhe, 炫境
I *love* counter-tenors, and Gao Tianhe impressed me the most of all the counter-tenors with this performance. It's simply a pure demonstration of skill and technique.

Ayunga is such a power-house vocalist, and he conveys emotions very well too. This song is gorgeous!

#5: 蔡程昱 Cai Chengyu, Ah, mes amis
I can't believe this guy is only 20! This is a very challenging song with nine high Cs. He takes some time to work up to those high Cs, but it's a very impressive performance nonetheless.

#6: 王晰 Wang Xi, 一生守候
Wang Xi has such a warm, gentle bass voice, and it suits this incredibly romantic song he sang to propose perfectly.

Episodes three and four are dueling duets! After twelve performances, the judges pick their top three, and so do I in this thread.

#1: Ayunga 阿云嘎 & Cai Chengyu 蔡程昱, Deer Be Free
This song is *so* much fun & the energy just keeps building up. And these two guys definitely have the massive voices to pull it off.

#2: Wang Xi 王晰 & Zheng Yunlong 郑云龙, 慢慢喜欢你
This is a beautifully lyrical performance. The solo parts are both gorgeous in their own unique ways. Then when they start harmonizing and singing together at the end, it becomes perfection.

#3: Gao Yang 高杨 & Wang Xi 王晰, She's So Beautiful 她真漂亮
Here is a more quiet, understated song, which absolutely shines on their perfect harmonies.

Episodes five and six feature a series of duets and trios. These were two unusual episodes for me, as I find myself very often disagreeing with the performances the judges loved and loving the performances the judges panned. Here are my top three!

#1: Wang Xi 王晰 & Ayunga 阿云嘎 Those Times Past 往日时光
Can anyone tell that Wang Xi is my favourite yet? And of course, Ayunga continues to sound great. These two sounded amazing together for this very gentle, warm & lyrical performance.

#2: Wang Kai 王凯 (singer, not actor) & Liao Jialin 廖佳琳 & Tong Zhuo 仝卓 L'Amore Si Muove 爱会游移
What an amazing set of pipes on Wang Kai! And Tong Zhuo's voice really impressed me as well. Overall, a very energetic and fun performance.

Beautiful harmonies in this song. I love both their voices and low notes so much.

Episodes 7 & 8! He Jiong visits! Then the six top-ranked singers choose their own teams to compete together, and I laugh myself silly at how every single choice Ayunga made was contested by the other team leaders and stolen away. Only Zheng Yunlong is devoted him.

#1: Les Rois du Monde - Yu Di 余笛, Hong Zhiguang 洪之光, Ayunga 阿云嘎
My favorite song from the Romeo & Juliette musical! This performance is every bit as energetic and sparkly as it needed to be.

#2: Hawthorn Tree 山楂树 - Zhou Shen 周深, Liu Binhao 刘彬濠, Wang Xi 王晰
A beautiful performance for all three singers with amazing harmonies and a perfect mix of voices. One of Zhou Shen's best performance in my opinion.

#3: She Is My Sin - Gao Tianhe 高天鹤
Someone sang a song by one of my favorite bands! We get to hear Gao Tianhe sing as both a counter-tenor as well as use his natural lower range in this excellent performance.

Episodes 9 and 10! Featuring a hilarious chicken game, and a view at the boys' terrifyingly messy hotel rooms. And finally finally, my cloudy OTP get to sing duets with each other. My top 3 favorite performances in the replies below:

#1: I Belong To Me - Ayunga 阿云嘎, Zheng Yunlong 郑云龙
It's a joy to see such a wonderful performance of Elisabeth's most iconic song. These two have such perfect chemistry together, I spent the whole performance whispering 默契 to myself.

#2: Luna - Gao Tianhe 高天鹤, Dai Wei 代玮, Li Yanfeng 李彦锋
Gao Tianhe's range never fails to impress me. And holy smokes, where did Dai Wei come from? What a voice! All three guys' voices were very well-suited together.

The biggest surprise in these two eps is how good the Team 1975 quartet turned out, with absolutely perfect harmonies. Brilliant!
