This is the first season which resumed the usage of the Chinese show name "中国好声音", following the withdrawal of a legal dispute between Star China Media and its former partner Talpa Media in 2016 which barred the former from using the name that was previously seen on The Voice of China, a show which the latter owns the franchise.
Despite reverting to its original Chinese name, the show would not be produced as part of The Voice franchise.
[1] Her move also ended her six-year consecutive stint as a coach, which began since the first season of The Voice of China.
Individuals rumoured to be replacing Na included Faye Wong,[2] Tsai Chin and Su Rui.
[8] Eason Chan and last season's winning coach Liu Huan were therefore confirmed to have left the show.
This season saw the return of the rotating coaches' chairs that are similar to the ones featured in The Voice which the show is rebranded from.
[9] In the blind auditions, the coaches are to recruit a total of six artists to form a team of their own.
The forming of the teams this season would move to a format that is similar to the "Six-Chair Challenge" featured in the British version of The X Factor.
The winners of the coach's save rounds would then advance to the Cross Battles as part of their team's final four.
Each of the coaches was also given a trump card which they could exercise on one of their artists to allow the latter to win two points for the team if he wins the Cross Battles (if the artist loses the Cross Battle, the trump card would be forfeited).
The specific artist from the opposing team which the "Challenger" would compete against, named as the "Challengee", would be decided via the random drawing of lots by the former.
At the end of each Cross Knockout, the two artists will receive votes of approval from a 51-person judging panel.
In deciding who moves on, a professional judging panel made up of 50 veteran record producers, music critics, and media practitioners from various media companies; as well as the studio audience made up of 500 members of the public were given an equal say.
The total number of votes cast by the professional judging panel and studio audience were converted into points accordingly to the weightage (50% each).
The Top 5 performed live in a two-part season finale on 7 October, held at the Beijing National Stadium.
The eleventh episode was a two-hour special aired on 24 September, featuring performances by the coaches and artists in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
