In an SMS two days before the Shanghai event of this year's Niuren competition,
my friend at Youku asked me if I would want to perform a song on the stage.
After some initial hesitation I eventually agreed to playing the guitar while
singing. Originally, I wanted to perform 坏人 but at the venue I realized that
this particular song is not quite as popular as 秋天不回来.
Not very well prepared I got on the stage as the third performer that
afternoon. I unexplicably managed to spoil the guitar intro, but still nobody
seemed to really mind. It felt good not to feel the pressuring perfectionism
flaring up inside of me again.
With this precautionary tale in mind, go ahead and [watch the clip on
youku](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTgzNDE0OTU2.html)! If you prefer to watch
a version that I'm okay with, then [check out the older
video](/posts/2009-11-02-qtbhl.html).
**Update (June 29, 2010)**: There is a [short clip on
youku](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTg1MjkyODAw.html) that aired on TV to
advertise the competition. The clip was featured on the start page of youku and
thus reached quite a large number of people.
