| Season chronology | |
There were minor changes to the rules of competition for this season, including the debut of the "Challenge Round", where singers had to finish in a certain position to be allowed to remain in the competition. This season saw an increase of the number of contestants, at 13, up from 12 from the previous season.[2]
The season premiered on January 2, 2015.[3][4] and ended on April 3, 2015. Han Hong was named the winner of the competition on the finals aired on March 27, 2015, and Han was the first female winner of the series. Li Jian and The One came in as first and second runners-up.
The Qualifying and Knockout rounds were retained as part of the show's format. As with previous seasons, the combined vote count from both the Qualifying and Knockout rounds determined which singer was eliminated on the night. Introduced in the last season, was contestants hosting roles; this season featured Leo Ku and Sun Nan as the hosts, which had a comedian manager selected by the show's producers.
Challenge round
As the show is being revamped into a new "2+1" format, the +1 was announced as "Challenge Round", which follows after each Knockout. A new Challenger enter the competition taking place for the previously eliminated singer with a twist where the singer requiring to beat a majority of singers (i.e. ranking in top four or better) or face elimination. If the Challenger was successful, the seven incumbent singers were placed in risk of elimination, while votes cast from the Knockout rounds do not carry forward to the Challenge round. Like eliminated singers, unsuccessful challengers (unless elected to withdraw) were also entitled to return performance and taking part in the Breakouts.[5]
To promote the new Challenge round, singers were open for registration via social media. The first singer, Golden Melody Award Newcomer Award winner Li Ronghao took advantage of the registration which helped other singers to promote the program and register themselves for the competition.[6][7][8] The show's official social media website, Sina Weibo revealed that over 60 singers had registered for the show at the close of the registration, but also told only one singer would actually get to participate in the show.[9]
Singer voting
Singers can cast their votes for the top three performances before the results were announced. Singer voting did not affect the outcome of the competition and did not count toward the audience's vote count. The singer who finished first in the Singer voting won prizes from a sponsor, or entitled to advantage in the next round.

All but five singers went through ballot to decide the order; Hsiao, Jian and The One selected their performance freely, while unsuccessful challengers (Ronghao and Lee) were defaulted to the first two performances. Zhang was initially eligible to participate, but later declined due to her decision to focus on her new album release on March 11, 2015.[11][12]
