NETIZENS: GAI WITHDRAWS FROM SINGER 2018. HUA CHEN YU TO JOIN.

WEIBO: FROM SINGER RECORDING: GAI WITHDRAWS, LI QUAN PLAYS, HUA CHEN YU IS THE REPLACEMENT.

On the 18th, at the Singer 2018 live recording, Hong Tao [T/N: producer] announces due to special circumstances Li Quan is a temporary replacement. On the day of the recording, GAI who could not be found confirmed his withdrawal. Jessie J appeared on stage stopping rumours of her withdrawal. In regards to news of Hua Chen Yu being the replacement, Su Shi Ding did not deny but stated "if he comes I'll be quite happy".

1. [+14691] Those who don't want GAI to withdraw send this to the top!!

2. [+12867] I'm not GAI's fan but recently I heard 沧海一声笑 and 天干物燥 and he's not bad. And he's doing quite well with his girlfriend. I'm not saying other's aren't good enough but as an ordinary person he's quite good.

3. [+5065] GAI's singing is quite good, sign

4. [+3800] Anticipating Hua Chen Yu [可爱]

5. +4287] sign. Originally the one I was anticipating the most was GAI

6. [+2726] Anticipating Hua Chen Yu

7. [+2525] OMG!!!!!! Hua Hua is coming!!!!!!!!!

PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
I didn't watch Singer 2017 because it was so messy. I was really looking forward to Singer 2018 but it's started again.
The PG One scandal (lyrics and affair with Li Xiao Lu) is having an unbelievable effect on the Chinese hip-hop community.
I really like Hua Chen Yu and am really keen to see him join but not at the expense of GAI and honestly Hua should be cast from the start not be here to replace someone.

MUSIC: HUA CHEN YU'S MY SKATEBOARD SHOES 2016

If you go on any one of Hua Chen Yu's songs on YouTube you will find comments saying they went from a passerby to a fan after Hua Chen Yu performed My Skateboard Shoes 2016. I am one such person who went from a passerby to a fan after Hua Chen Yu performed My Skateboard Shoes 2016.

The first version I heard of My Skateboard Shoes 2016 was the version in the video above.

The first time I heard it I fell in love. I know I said that in my previous music feature haha. I guess for a song to score a feature post I must fall in love with it at first listen. Anyway, I digress.

Although I watched Hua Chen Yu rise to fame as he participated in Super Boy 2010, eventually winning the competition I was never his fan. But all that changed when I heard My Skateboard Shoes 2016 and learnt the context of how that song came to be.

The video above shows the first time Hua Chen Yu performed My Skateboard Shoes 2016. It was on the television program Tian Lai Zhi Zhan (unofficial translation Sounds of War) where Hua Chen Yu was a set cast member alongside Karen Mok, Yang Kun and Fei Yu Qing. The concept of the program PK-ing celebrity singer-songwriters against non-famous singer-songwriters. The twist was the celebrities would be given 24 hours to remake a song selected by the non-famous singer-songwriter. In Episode 3, Hua Chen's Yu non-famous singer-songwriter opponent was Lu Mo Yi, a backing vocalist at his concerts and his good friend. The song she selected was My Skateboard Shoes.

This song was the viral hit of 2014/2015 for reasons I believe are clear after listening to the song.
The video above is actually the official music video which was released after the song went viral. The only aspect of the song that Hua Chen Yu did not changed was the lyrics.

My Skateboard Shoes 2016 was arguably one of the most talked about songs in the program being mentioned every so often. Hua Chen Yu even performed part of it in Yang Kun's performance in Episode 8.

Due to the popularity My Skateboard Shoes 2016 received, Hua Chen Yu released an official studio version later that year.
