Yin Jingshun wins Middle-aged Good Voice 4 amid controversy

Overview

The TVB singing competition ‘Middle-aged Good Voice 4’ concluded its grand finale at the Kai Tak Sports Park on 23 August. Yin Jingshun, a Malaysian singer, emerged as the champion with 195 points, winning HKD 100,000. He also secured the ‘Fast Song MVP’ and ‘Audience Favorite Voice’ awards. Xu Yunni took second place with 192 points, while Zheng Jiasheng finished third with 190 points.

Yin’s victory drew controversy after he announced plans to invest his winnings in stocks, departing from a previous promise to split the prize among the top seven finalists. Viewers also criticized judging standards due to reported vocal slips and missed lyrics during his performance. Other notable discussions included technical issues affecting contestant You Shuqing and the recognition of five ‘prophets’ who made accurate predictions during the selection process.

Following the finale, reports indicated record-low viewership for the season. The grand finale reached a peak rating of 21.7 points, attracting approximately 1.4 million viewers, a decline of over 220,000 compared to the previous season. Program founder Eric Tsang noted that the absence of local Hong Kong representatives among the top seven finalists—all of whom were from overseas divisions—may have reduced domestic engagement. Some viewers also criticized the contestants for lacking distinct personalities.

Additionally, judge Chow Kwok-fung posted a sentimental farewell on social media, leading to speculation regarding his potential return after the show’s scheduled one-year hiatus.
