GeTai Challenge 2018 (Chinese: 歌台星力量-兴旺发; pinyin: Gē Tái Xīng Lìliàng-XīngWàng Fā), is the second season of GeTai Challenge, a hit reality-singing competition organised by Mediacorp Channel 8, returning after a three-year hiatus. The second season consist of 17 episodes premiered on Channel 8 on 20 April 2018, with the grand finals taped on 26 July 2018 at MES Theatre and aired on 10 August 2018.[1] For the first time, the episodes were available on catchup on Gov.sg's YouTube channel, in addition to the Toggle website (unlike the last season, all episodes were uploaded)[2] The show was sponsored by the Ministry of Communications and Information.
On 10 August 2018, 50-year old Getai veteran singer and sister of resident judge Liu Lingling, Angie Lau was declared the winner of GeTai Challenge 2018 and took home a $20,000 cash award;[3] 45-year old restaurant owner Jason Chung was named the runner-up and won $10,000. Jessie Yeong finished in third place, while Zhuang Qing Yu and Cola Lau finished in fourth and fifth place respectively; they each won $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000, respectively.
The show won the Best Variety Programme in the Star Awards 2019.[4]
Development
[edit]The show was first announced on 12 March 2018 with the auditions happening in February 2018, where Allen Moo and Peter Chen were the judges. Out of hundreds of auditionees with an age range of between 12 and 63, 20 singers were selected and put through to the shows.
The new theme song, "大家兴旺发", was first unveiled to the public during the Lunar New Year Special on 15 February 2018 (Hao Hao and Wina Xie were absent), and their music video was uploaded on YouTube on 6 April 2018. The video was composed by resident judge Jim Lim, lyrics by last season runner-up Marcus Chin, and featured all of the season 1 finalists, except for Wina Xie.
The three judges who were resident judges from the first season, Jim Lim, Liu Lingling and Wang Lei, returned this season, while Chen Hanwei did not return. Pornsak reprises his hosting role, while Desmond Ng, the winner of the last season, replaces Wang Weiliang as the co-host of the show. Two supporting hosts, Dennis Chew and Ho Ai Ling, portrayed their roles of Kachang Puteh Man and Kiam Sng Tee Auntie, respectively, on segments for the community.
Unlike the last season airing on prime-time slot (Mondays at 8pm), the show was aired on every Fridays at 11.30am. Additionally, where GeTai Challenge was a Mandarin Chinese television program, most of the dialogue was presented in Hokkien dialect, similar to another program aired on a morning time-slot Eat Already? and Happy Can Already!.

[edit]This is the first show of the season to be taped at Mediacorp Studios at 1 Stars Avenue. For the next two weeks, 20 singers were paired up and performed with one of nine Season 1 singers (Leon & Febe paired with four singers instead of two) to vie for the 10 spots in the next round. The result was decided solely through judges' votes; judges cast their vote through their tablet device by flashing either one of the three Heng Ong Huat logos. Singers receiving all three judges' votes would directly advance to the top 10, but singers receiving only one or two judges' votes will land them into Pending Zone, where they were eligible to be saved from the judges' immunity (each immunity may be used once on each show). Singers either receiving no judges' votes or were not saved by the judges from the Pending Zone, will be eliminated from the competition.

Week 8/9 (8/15 June)- Top 10 Rounds (Part 2)- Team Battle
[edit]The round was split into two episodes with the ten singers assigned into two groups of five. For this battle round, a singer would be sent by his or her teammates to compete against another singer from the opposing team. The selection of the singer and their order of appearance were all decided by their respective teams, and all of which were done without the knowledge of the opposing team. Therefore, the pairings were completely by random, and would only be revealed when the teams revealed their selection on stage. The order of the matchup were done through Rock–paper–scissors, and the winner earned the right to decide the order. At the end of each match, the judges will cast their vote to which singer they liked the most, but those votes does not necessarily affect the outcome of the competition. At the end of all five matches, the group with a higher combined total (based on this round) will directly advance to the next round, while singers from the losing group were eligible for elimination based on the combined scores received from both rounds. FLY Entertainment artist Irene Ang was brought in as the guest judge.

Week 15/16 (27 July/3 August)- Semi-Finals
[edit]The Semi-finals was split into two episodes, with the entire first round and the first two singers from the second round performing on the first episode, and the last four on the second episode. In the first round, six singers received their paper cutouts from the producers, which determined their pairing and performance order; the scores for this round (which include Team Chemistry; each component now have a 20-point weightage) were judged based on the duet itself, rather than judging individually (meaning both singers from the same duet were given identical set of scores). In the second round, judge Jim Lim handpicked six songs for the singers to choose from (with the order of choice based on their placement from the Popularity round), and work on a song mixed with two genres – original and designated, with the latter unknown to the contestant's knowledge until the start of the round. The scores for both rounds were combined and calculated by average; normally, the two singers receiving the two lowest scores would be eliminated from the competition; however, after two singers (Angie Lau and Cola Lau) were tied for fourth place, both singers were advanced to the Grand Finals. Director of Getai musical film 881 and music video "大家兴旺发" Royston Tan was brought in as the guest judge.

Week 17 (10 August)- Grand Finals
[edit]The Grand Finals were taped on 26 July 2018 and broadcast on a two-hour special starting at 10.30am. In the first round of the competition, the five finalists performed a duet with celebrities (if any). Based on the judges scores (40 for singing techniques, 30 each for stage presence and presentation) in the first round, the bottom three singers with the lowest judges' score would be eliminated.
The final two singers would then sing their winner's song in the second round of the competition; the singer who received the highest total combined score was announced as the winner. Actor Cavin Soh and guest singer Daniel Luo were brought in as the guest judges. Senior Minister of State, Information and Communication & Culture, Community and Youth, Sim Ann, was the guest-of-honour for the finale. A special teaser for the talkshow The Love 97.2 Breakfast Quartet - Listen To Me (which premieres the week after) was shown during the closing of the show.
- Theme: Celebrity duets (billed as "reinforcement round"), winner's song (billed as "final battle")
- Group Performance: "海草舞" (all season 1 and 2 finalists except Jason Chung, Angie Lau, Cola Lau, Jessie Yeong and Zhuang Qing Yu)
- Non-competition Performances: Jessie Yeong ("酒后的心声"), Jason Chung ("让我跟你走"), Cola Lau ("一百万"), Zhuang Qing Yu ("蝴蝶"), Angie Lau ("归来吧")
- Musical Guests: Season 1 finalists ("大家兴旺发"), Daniel Luo ("茫茫到更深")
