    Big Band (乐队的夏天) and the history of Chinese rock\'n\'roll

    Lately, I\'ve been binge-watching the second season of Big Band (乐队的夏天). This is a battle of the bands reality show featuring a mix of established and up-and-coming rock bands. In my expert opinion (as an avid watcher of Chinese music reality shows), this is the best-in-class of this sub-genre of reality TV. If you are into music and Chinese then you should just go check it out now.

    The Voice of China is like the finals of the tournament bracket that makes up the Chinese music competition landscape.

    \"\"Haven\'t watched this one yet but I too am a sucker for Chinese singing competitions such as The Voice and 歌手. The quality of Chinese singers is astounding, specially when we consider how most of them are total unknown amateurs... Literally: in 4 years that I\'ve been watching them I haven\'t heard a single contestant that wasn\'t top notch, something I can\'t say for western versions of the same format.

    Within the last couple of years, the battle of the bands sub-genre has exploded. I think the first really successful shows of this type were probably iQiyi\'s Big Band and Youku\'s Let\'s Band (一起乐队吧), both of which premiered in the summer of 2019. Even though less than a year has passed, Let\'s Band has inspired at least two clones (我们的乐队 and 明日之子乐团季). In the Let\'s Band formula, competitors have a much greater amount of creative control than in previous music reality shows: besides creating music and singing, they also have to recruit band members and play their own instruments.
