Sing Again 3, the long-awaited final. As announced last week, the finals will be held in two stages. The first round is a new song mission in which famous domestic musicians become top 7 producers and compete with hot songs received from them, and the second round is a free song mission.
Including spoilers
First of all, before reviewing the 12th episode of "Sing Again 3", the first game of the final, I will briefly explain how to count scores.
Finals 1st round tally method
The scoring method for the first round of the finals, New Song Mission, is a bit unique and complicated. The score is calculated by adding up 40% of the judges' score, 40% of the new song's sound source score, and 20% of the new song's mission video 'likes & views' score. And the first round scores calculated in this way are added up at a rate of 30% of the final final score.
▼Finals 1st round, counting method▼
In addition, the new song music score is calculated by counting the number of streams from the two major music sites, Melon (M company) and Genie (G company), from the time of release until 23:59 on Wednesday, January 17, as shown below.
▼ New song's sound source score▼
The new song mission video score is said to reflect the 'likes & views' of the new song mission video on YouTube channels JTBC Voyage and JTBC Music.

And the judges' scores on site are calculated by adding up the scores of each judge entered on a 100-point scale.

Then, Singer Again 3 Episode 12, Final 1! Let’s start the review of the hot new song mission.
Finals 1st round
Choo Seung-yeop
The singer who will perform on the first final stage is Choo Seung-yeop. The producer he connected with is Lee Moo -jin, who took third place in Singer Gain Season 1 . The song that Lee Moojin put a lot of effort into is ‘Land and Boy'.
I don't think it would have been easy to get used to the song due to the particularly large amount of lyrics and fast tempo. 'Land and Boy', sung cheerfully as if it were a boy Choo Seung-yeop, not a middle-aged Choo Seung-yeop, was truly a rhythmic song with no room to breathe.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
I think this song was truly a song that only Choo Seung-yeop could sing. It was a stage that was completely reminiscent of a boy, rather than the beast-like rocker shown in the previous round. The score in the first is 736 out of 800.
LeeJean
The producer who had a relationship with LeeJean is Lee Hyo-ri's man, Lee Sang-soon. The song she will sing is Lee Sang-soon's break-up song, "Why Did You Do That?" The song, suited LeeJean's style very well. And although it was the first song to be introduced to the world, it resonated so familiarly in her ears as if she had listened to it before.

The judges also gave high praise, saying that it went well with the song. The score was 746 points.
Hong Isak
The producer who is connected to Hong Isak is hit song maker and composer Kim Do- hoon. The song he will sing is ‘I Love You’, the story of a man who experienced a heartbreaking breakup.
Until now, most of Hong Isak's songs have been sentimental and calm songs. However, he has completely transformed at this song. It was a song that highlighted the desperate plea and emotion of a man who gives everything to catch her leaving.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
As the performance ended, the audience and judges exclaimed in exclamation. This is because it was a song with shocking images that had never been seen before, in which Hong Isaac's emotions exploded to an extent that was unimaginable. But the transformation was so perfect.
The judges couldn't help but be impressed by the performance that made them speechless. All the judges, including Code Kunst's 100, gave him a high score of 773.
Shin Hae-sol
Producer Shin Hae-sol is singer-songwriter Ahn Shin-ae. Looking at Shin Hae-sol's singing style, it feels quite similar to Ahn Shin-ae's music style.
Shin Hae-sol said that it was like fate to come across Ahn Shin-ae's song. That's because the title of her song matched perfectly with the contents of her diary she wrote the day before she met Ahn Shin-ae. It's so amazing. The song name was ‘LLL (Live & Laugh & Love)’. It was a song that suited her so well that she could say it was a song for Shin Hae-sol.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
It was a reggae genre song that properly expressed Shin Hae-sol's sense of rhythm. It wasn't awkward and it was a very free stage. 776 points! Shin Hae-sol receives a score higher than Hong I-sak, the strong candidate for the championship.
EJel
EJel has only released one album so far, and it was a self-composed song. Therefore, it is said that this is the first time receiving a song from a producer. This song must have meant as much to her as the final. Her producer is Rocoberry & LAS, the maker of the famous OST songs. The title is ‘Ruined Love’.
The producer also said that this song was created with EJel in mind from the beginning. Maybe that's why the song and easel came together so well. The song composition was like listening to an OST from a drama. It was a dynamic yet magnificent OST itself. I have a feeling that this song will be a huge hit.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
EJel went back and forth between his true voice and his falsetto voice, and was able to handle the song's ever-changing nature well. There were some differences of opinion among the judges in this regard. “Did you come up with a falsetto due to tired?”, “No… that’s a really difficult skill!” EJel received 750 points from the judges and ranks 3rd so far.
So Soo-bin
The finals were originally scheduled for the Top 6, so 6 producers were preparing songs for the finals. However, the finalists were suddenly changed to Top 7, so one more song was urgently needed.
However, fortunately, Ahn Shin- ae had a famous song that she had written a few years ago but had never found the owner, and through this opportunity, she was finally able to meet the owner. It 's a song called 'Please Stay'.
So Soo-bin did not have a guitar in this stage and focused solely on singing. And he said that he received a lot of comfort while preparing this song, but he was finally able to meet the music that he really wanted to make and sing that anyone could easily absorb. At result, it was a song that was easily absorbed by anyone who heard it, and it was the moment when his wish came true.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
It was a moment of comfort that was so touching that both the judges and the audience got goosebumps from So Soo-bin's sweet and warm voice that penetrated into our eardrums. So Soo-bin was given 100 points by three judges and ranked first with 776 points, tied with Shin Hae-sol.
Kang Seonghee
In the first round of the finals, the last singer is Kang Seong-hee, who creates a drama-like atmosphere by putting her life into the songs. Kang Seong-hee said that through this final, she received her new song for the first time in three years. Her producer, who connected with her, was Jeong Dong-hwan of Melromance.
When she received the song and saw the lyrics, she cried. This was because the content struck her as if someone was telling a story to her. The warm and beautiful song she wants to share with everyone is 'I'll Pray'. It was a song that perfectly harmonized Jeong Dong-hwan's emotions and Kang Seong-hee's singing ability.
▼▼Enjoy the song▼▼
Although the genre may be somewhat awkward for her, she completely overcomes it with her overwhelming singing skills. I think it was a song that showed Kang Seong-hee's experience that much. She received 765 points from the judges.
This is how the first round of the final competition ended, and the rankings of the judges' scores so far are as follows.
Special stage
Familiar faces appeared. Last season's Park Hyun-gyu, Shin Yu-mi, Kim So-yeon, Lee Joo-hyuk, Yoon Seong, and Kim Ki-tae performed a special collaboration stage with the Top 7.
