TVB's popular singing competition, Midlife, Good Voice 3, is heating up as the battle for the top seven spots unfolds on May 4, 2025. The competition features contestants like Zhao Juncheng, Li Jinkai, and Wang Yudongren, each vying for a chance to perform in the grand final set for May 11 at the Qihui Sports Park Auditorium.
Among the contestants, Li Chuangwei, who reached the top 20 but was eliminated, has recently gained significant attention. He first entered the public eye in 2011 when he participated in Asian Stars 4 Dancing Bar! and secured third place, which led to his signing with ATV. Despite a lack of notable success in his early career, Li has found new recognition through Midlife, Good Voice 3.
In a recent interview with YouTuber Zhong Huibing, Li revealed that he has officially signed with TVB and expressed pride in his journey. He stated, "As contestants, we are here to chase our dreams. The show allows us to pursue those dreams, and it’s normal that we don’t earn money as participants." He emphasized that at their age, participants should have some financial stability, hinting at a more mature approach to their careers.
Li also addressed rumors about being supported by wealthy women, particularly a female banker who once offered him HK$100 million for dance lessons. With a touch of humor, he remarked, "I know who you are talking about. But no, I didn’t take the money. I try to keep a distance from my female students to avoid any misunderstandings." This revelation has sparked curiosity and further discussions among fans.
Meanwhile, Wang Yudongren, another contestant, has stirred up controversy with his personal life revelations. At 38, he shockingly admitted to never having had a formal relationship, labeling himself as "A0" (never dated). This admission came during a lively interaction with the judges, where he humorously shocked the panel, including judge Fat Ma, who reacted with disbelief.
However, this self-identification has raised eyebrows, especially given his earlier performance in January where he sang the English song "Unfaithful" and shared a story of being hurt by infidelity. Viewers are now questioning the authenticity of his claims, with some suggesting that his conflicting statements seem scripted for sympathy. Fans have even dug through his social media to find posts suggesting he had dinner with someone in a seemingly romantic setting, further complicating his narrative.
Wang’s scores have fluctuated during the competition, and with a recent score of 88 for his rendition of "I Will Always Love You," he finds himself in a precarious position, currently ranked seventh with 28 points. As rumors of his potential elimination swirl, Wang has taken to social media to address the situation humorously, comparing his journey to that of a dolphin slowly turning into a dog. He expressed relief at making it to the top ten, admitting that he feels anxious compared to other contestants. "If I make it to the Qihui stage, I will explode with performance," he vowed, indicating his desire to showcase his full potential.
The competition format has seen contestants perform classic love songs, with scores reflecting their performances. Zhao Juncheng led the scores with 98 points, followed by Li Jinkai and Liu Yang both at 96 points. The audience eagerly anticipates how these scores will affect the contestants' chances of progressing further in the competition.
As the final approaches, the pressure is mounting for all participants. With the mix of personal revelations, dramatic performances, and the quest for fame, Midlife, Good Voice 3 continues to capture the attention of viewers. The show not only showcases musical talent but also delves into the personal lives of its contestants, creating a rich tapestry of stories that resonate with the audience.
As the contestants prepare for the final showdown, fans are left wondering how the stories of Li Chuangwei and Wang Yudongren will unfold. Will they rise to the occasion and secure their places in the spotlight, or will the pressures of competition prove too great? With so much at stake, the upcoming final on May 11 promises to be an event filled with excitement and emotional performances.
