TVB's 'Middle-aged Good Voice 4' fuels fan debate over leaked 7‑finalist list

TVB's singing competition "Middle-aged Good Voice 4" aired its second "original‑song" round on June 26, featuring a duet by contestants Zhou Zhi‑kang and Guan Chu‑yao of the song "你當我什麼". Judges praised the performance, with Zhang Jiaten saying, "無論你嘅氣力、感情帶到一個好恰當嘅位," while host Hai‑er humorously complimented Zhou's shoulder pads.

Separately, reports indicate the series will pause for a year after the season, with the final slated for August 23 at Kai Tak Sports Arena. Online speculation surfaced about the forthcoming seven‑finalist lineup, with a user posting a supposed list and warning fans, "如果7強沒有你喜歡的選手，我勸大家就無謂浪費金錢時間了." The alleged list suggested that Hong Kong contestants Zhou Zhi‑kang, Chen Xu‑pei and Zheng Zhong‑hao might be absent, prompting debate about a possible complete elimination of local singers.

The leak has divided viewers, some dismissing its credibility and others expressing disappointment, while the show continues to draw attention within Hong Kong's entertainment scene.
