Live shows

The live shows started on 25 August 2014.[25] As with previous seasons, each week's song choices followed a particular theme. Contestants from the male category perform on the even weeks from week two to eight, while the female category contestants perform on the odd from week three to nine. The an-hour-and-a-half-long live shows would take place on Mondays and would split into two segments. Each contestant performs during the first hour, while guest performances and eliminations take place during the final half hour.

A new interactive viewer component was featured for this season. The method of voting via paid phone calls and text messaging which has been used for the past two seasons of the show did not return for this season[26] and was replaced by a free-of-charge online voting method via the Toggle Now application.[27] Each contestant would be given a designated voting window during their performance on the show. During the voting window, users of the Toggle Now application would be presented with the "Yes! I vote!" (known as "Yes! I want to vote!" on week two) and "No. I forfeit!" (known as "No, I do wish to vote." on week two) buttons on screen. Every selection of the "Yes! I vote!" button by the viewers would be counted as a vote towards the respective contestant, while the selection of the "No. I forfeit!" button would not make an effect to the vote count.[28] The voting procedure is limited to one vote per contestant per performance per device.[27]

The results were announced based on the accumulated points from the judges and the public's votes. Each of the judges would be able to award points to a contestant after their performance on the show and the total score from the three judges would carry a weightage of 75% for the respective contestant's accumulated points.[29] The remaining 25% of the accumulated points would be based on the public votes received from the Toggle Now application.[28] The contestant who receives the fewest accumulated points from the judges and the public would be eliminated at the end of the show. Contrary to previous seasons of the show, the judges' points were not revealed. Instead, the ranking result of the public votes were shown before the announcement of the overall result.

The revival round which features eliminated contestants being brought back to the competition did not return for this season. Contestants who were eliminated at any stages of the competition were not given a second chance to advance in the competition.[30]

Show changes for the grand final

The grand final took place on 26 October 2014, Sunday,[31] with the duration of the show extended to three hours. The audience were still given the power to vote, but for just one contestant per category after a round of performances using a single device, thus restricting them to vote for both of the remaining contestants from each category for each round of the competition (or both the male category winner and female category winner during the overall winner decider). With the addition of two guest judges, score from each of the judges carried a weightage of 15% for the respective contestant's accumulated points, amounting to a total of 75%. The public vote weightage remained as 25%.[32]

Musical guests

Each live show featured musical performances from various artists. Season two overall winner Daren Tan performed on the first live show.[33] The second live show featured performance from local singer-songwriter and Sing My Song contestant Ling Kai, while season one overall runner-up Kelly Poon appeared on the third.[34] Local a cappella group and The Sing-Off China runners-up MICappella appeared on the fourth live show,[35] while season two top 16 contestant Jeremy Chan and top 6 finalist Kelvin Soon performed on the fifth and sixth respectively.[36][37] The Freshman, made up of season two overall runner-up Lydia Tan and female runner-up Carrie Yeo, performed on the seventh live show.[38] The eighth live show featured performances from The Voice of China season two top 12 finalist Bi Xia.[39] The grand final would also feature performances from The Voice of China season three overall third-place finisher Yu Feng and top 16 finalist Li Jiage,[40] as well as guest judge Tiger Huang.[41]
