This. This song has been stuck in my head for the past three days, and so I decided to share the joy. (Or pain, it really depends. Haha.) I just love the tone of heartbreak in particular sections of the song.
Here's the version that first caught my ears and my heart. The singer here is Zhang Wei (张伟) and he first became known on the show "the Voice of China". This video is him performing in a different show though. In this show, established artists compete among themselves in masquerade. The idea is that the panel of judges will be able to disregard a singer's status and judge impartially. Cool idea, but probably not very practical overall. Some singers are just too well known or individualistic for the judges to not be able to guess at their identity. Still, it was fun for me to watch since I don't really follow entertainment news and so don't know that many singers. Also, the judges' reactions are funny. ;)
Anyway, Zhang Wei's alias on the show was 摘星怪 (literally: Star Plucking Monster. Trust me, it sounds much cooler in Mandarin. :P), and though he didn't win in the end, he gave several really standout performances IMO. I love his steampunk appearance on the show, and he really killed it with the emotions in this song. ♬
