Youth and Melody (2021)

this tv show isn't as fun as i thought it would be

before i start the full review, i watched this show because i knew a lot of the groups in there, like snh48, yuehua entertainment, etc. i found this show from zhang yixing and li wenhan.

now for the review:
this show is a competition, but with a bunch of c pop groups that have already debuted. i've watched other competition shows like youth with you, street dance of china, etc., and they were all super fun to watch. youth and melody is different though, it isn't as entertaining. Every episode was just the groups performing a stage based on a topic or style, and then they would get voted on and whoever was first would have some sort of little advantage in the next one. There wasn't really a "overall" winner. The winner of the show was whoever won the last round, which I think is kind of unfair.

Even though this show wasn't as entertaining as i expected, there were still some really good stages.. li wenhan did not disappoint lol

i also didn't like the fact that the songs they all picked were like kind of old. there were only like 3 songs that were kind of recent, and not from like the 1900s.

in the later rounds, zhang yixing created/remixed songs for the groups, and those stages were better than the first couple rounds.

overall, i'd rate this show like.. a 6. if another season airs, i don't know if i'm going to watch it, i'll have to see which groups are in it.
