I watched a TV show recently. It’s a singers and they compete with each other. It’s a famous TV show. Before they come to the TV show, they are already singers. I know most of them but there are maybe one singer that I don’t know. This season I like one of them and his name is Zhou Shen. His voice sounds like a little girl’s voice but when you hear, you know his voice is not a girl’s but in between girl and boy. Last year he attended another TV show and I knew him from that TV show. There is a winner every episode and every time they need to compete. The result of every season is depend on what they do every episode. If you have to leave this TV show, a new one will come in and the new one and the rest will compete again. In the seasons before, there are some singers that I like very much, but he/she was eliminated. The singers who left, I also like to watch them.
