The Treasured Voice 2 《天賜的聲音》第二季
Season 2 of The Treasured Voice 天賜的聲音 started airing on January 15, 2021 with Tiger Hu 胡彥斌, Angela Chang 張韶涵, David Tao 陶喆 and Cannon Hu 胡海泉 as this season’s music partners. Jeff Chang 張信哲 was on the schedule as one of the main partners this season, but so far he has been absent, so I hope Jeff may come on in later episodes. After watching a few episodes of Season 1 last year, I’m still very confused with the concept of the show, LOL… Apparently it is to find a duo with a golden song at the end, but since they are just singing familiar popular old songs, what’s the meaning of “golden” song? But what the heck, I won’t waste time thinking, just sit back and enjoy some of the songs in each episode whatever the concept of the show is!
