Time Concert Old Friends - ep6

I think this might be my favorite musical selection so far (minus the Tank performances from eps 1 and 2 which I'm still feeling feral about)! Great mix of genres and musical styles, sweetly ending with a duet. Huang Ling was one of the guests, which added some variety + there was a cute part where they were trying to get her to sing various songs in her style (she's a gufeng singer).

G.E.M. was really set on doing a Cantonese song, since a number of the other guests were from HK. ♥ I loved seeing how comfortable and excited she was with this performance, considering how she started this show confessing she was terrified to do covers.


Jason Zhang - 孤勇者 (Eason Chan/Arcane OST cover)

Dedicated to Susu(???? one of the guys), this is probably a pretty ~basic~ choice (not that I have ever tired of this song), but the drumline, extra instrumentation, and the building, cresting momentum brought the goosebumps and emotions out of me hahaha. (And while Zhang Jie's generally a very versatile vocalist, his style and energy are especially right for these types of songs.)


I've also been obsessed with the version of 天下 that Zhang Jie did to kick off this season! It's a fresh acoustic arrangement with a guitarist he apparently bonded with, and this performance made me realize why he loves the show so much! The band, the comfy and intimate setting, how happy he is to sing among fellow professionals...

Saw that Liu Tao also does her Nirvana in Fire song in one of the later episodes (if that thumbnail I saw was indeed for this season...), so I'm hoping I can catch up and get there! I really wish they'd put the songs from this season on Apple Music like they did for season 1. ;____; I'm still desperate to have the Time Concert versions of Personal Angel + Three Kingdom Love at my listening convenience. ;__;
