MBC's 'I Am a Singer' will be changing it's rules so that there will be one elimination round every 3 weeks. Producer Shin Jung Soo met with reporters on April 29th and revealed,

"After the 7 artists receive their mission song and contest to be ranked, the singer with the lowest ranking will have to make room for a new singer using a survival type convention. Because judging legend-like vocalists based on one performance was too difficult, a change has been made to the number of performances."

According to producer Shin Jung Soo, the artists will perform twice every three weeks. Their final rankings will be a summation of their scores for both performances.�Singers who place last for both performances will have to give up their spot to another singer. Rankings will continue to be based on the votes of the live audience at each performance He continued,

"Through the 3 weeks of practice and 2 harsh competitive performances, the 7 singers will be showing their perspectives on both live performances and stories. Please anticipate for there to be honest stories made through 'I Am a Singer'. I expect for the performances to go beyond the competition to an upgraded level in which it is more like a 'musician's celebration'."

"I Am a Singer" will return on the air on May 1st. Singers Lee Sora, Kim Bum Soo, Lena Park, Yoon Do Hyun, BMK, Lim Jae Bum, and Kim Yun Woo will be participating. Source: Star News via Nate
