On April 19, 2025, the excitement for the third season of the popular TVB reality show 《中年好聲音3》 reached new heights as the top ten contestants gathered at a shopping mall in 將軍澳 for a meet-and-greet event. Fans flocked to support their favorite singers, eagerly anticipating the upcoming final showdown scheduled for May 11, 2025, at the 啟德體藝館, where over 7,000 spectators are expected to witness the crowning of the season's champion.
During the event, the show's producer, 吳國華, announced that Taiwanese pop star Show Lo (小豬) will serve as a judge for the fast song segment of the final. The ten contestants—趙浚承, 善玥澄, 曹越, 王鄭浚仁, 李金凱, 陳芷盈, 劉洋, 張與辰, 占士丁丁, and 黃博—took turns expressing their gratitude to fans, many of whom had camped out for over ten hours to secure prime spots in the audience. In a particularly touching moment, contestant 張與辰 received over 30 cartoon figurines from his dedicated supporters.
Highlighting the night was 黃博's performance of the song 《這一個夜》, which earned her a record-breaking score of 99 points. Reflecting on her achievement, she expressed her gratitude, stating, "I am thankful for everyone's support. At that moment, I just wanted to sing my heart out and showcase a new side of myself." Her husband was present at the event, showing support and appreciation for the fans who had camped out overnight.
Meanwhile, 李佳, a former contestant, revealed that she helped 占士丁丁 register for the competition. She and her fellow contestants noted the increasing popularity of the show, with more fans supporting each season.
As the competition progresses, the stakes are high. The latest episode of 《中年好聲音3》 aired on April 20, 2025, featuring a theme of 'Duet Singing.' The contestants paired with alumni from previous seasons, showcasing their vocal talents together. Songs performed included 《你那麼愛她》 by 劉洋 and 黃洛妍, and 《誰明浪子心》 by 陳芷盈 and 何晉樂. The episode saw 张与辰 and his partner, 姚焯菲, deliver a passionate rendition of 《許願》, which earned them a commendable score of 95 points.
In contrast, 黃博 and her partner, 林智樂, performed 《來夜方長》 but received a slightly lower score of 93 points. Despite her previous successes, 黃博's performance was deemed less impactful this time around, prompting judges to note areas for improvement.
陳芷盈 particularly shone in this episode, winning the MVP award for her impressive rap performance during her duet. Her creativity was praised by the judges, highlighting the diverse talents within the competition.
The judging panel for the upcoming final will consist of seven judges, including the regulars 周國豐, 肥媽, 張佳添, and 海兒, along with three special judges, one of whom is Show Lo. Fans have expressed excitement over the judging lineup, speculating on who the other two special judges might be. Discussions on social media have been lively, with many hoping for the return of previous judges who have resonated well with the audience.
In a twist that has captured public attention, 張與辰, originally known as 張祖誠, has been vocal about his preference not to be referred to by his old name. He changed his name in 2018 and has asked fans to respect his wishes. His journey has not been without challenges; he grew up in a single-parent household where his mother faced discrimination due to her job as a singer. 張與辰 has used his platform to advocate for marginalized communities, having written songs like 《一樣》 to voice support for the LGBTQ+ community and others facing societal rejection.
Despite his past struggles, including bullying and depression, he has emerged as a role model, using his experiences to inspire others. He often reflects on his mother's influence, crediting her with instilling in him a love for music and resilience in the face of adversity.
As the competition heats up, fans and contestants alike are eager to see who will take home the title in the final. With the diversity of talent and the emotional backstories of the contestants, 《中年好聲音3》 continues to captivate audiences across the region.
In the world of reality television, where every performance counts, the stakes are high, and the pressure is palpable. As the final approaches, the contestants will undoubtedly be working hard to refine their skills and deliver their best performances yet.
As the show progresses, it will be interesting to see how the dynamics of the competition evolve and how each contestant's journey unfolds. With a blend of talent, determination, and the support of their fans, the final promises to be an unforgettable event.
