Open Mic Week 8 - You Are My Sunshine.

in #openmic8 years ago (edited)

Greetings Steemit!



In one of my previous posts, I talked about the anti-social way of being social in China. How Chinese people prefer to socialise in private, whether it's for work, family, entertainment or just eating.

One place that always comes at the top of the list for every social gathering, is none other than Karaoke. The perfect place to gather with your friends, drink, eat, listening to music, or if you're daring, sing!

But, maybe you just want to sing a song or two, with one other person, perhaps booking a room at a Karaoke place might be overkill. Making the way for 'Mi Da mini K'!

This genius invention allows two people to sit in a sound proof booth, login with their WeChat ID and even record their performances!

I thought i'd take the opportunity to record something at the miniK booth today and make an accompanying video.

My song choice is "You Are My Sunshine". This song is immensely popular and is one of the most covered songs in popular music history. It first recorded in 1939 by the Pine Ridge Boys but the composer of the song is still often disputed.

In any case, the song was also recorded around the same time by the Rice Brothers Gang, Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell.

My version is a cover by a famous singer named Jane Zhang who came to notoriety through taking part in the 2005 Super Girl singing competition in China and coming 3rd. I hope you like my cover!


这是我第一次参加Open Mic,也是第一次传我的声音给全世界听,为了多多参与Steemit的活动,我不是专业的歌手,纯粹是为了好玩,希望为Steemit带来很好的宣传。这首歌You Are My Sunshine是我在咪哒KTV房录制的,它在国内万达等一些游戏厅里都有的玩,先录了声音,后期配了视频,希望你们喜欢哦!

You have an angelic face and an angelic voice! I'm so jealous (I don't have either). I hope you are bad at at least one thing - otherwise people like me have no hope:)

Thanks! I'm actually blushing! I'm bad at spelling for one..and many others I'm afraid to admit! But I'm really glad steemit is so accepting! Thank you for your vote of confidence !

You're welcome:)

"otherwise people like me have no hope"

funny

I think this entry is a fake entry that was plagiarized and lipsynced from another video. This is the video I found on YouTube that sounds like the video they plagiarized.

This is really you singing this time. Forgive me for questioning your earlier video. It clearly appears you are lip syncing on the other video and it is my job to make sure no one is trying to abuse the contest.

Again, thank you for entering. You have a lovely voice.

It's clearly not the same person singing.

好听,支持你参加 :)

谢谢你,elfkitchen ^^

Are you kidding me? It really is your voice? If so, then why don't you perform on the stage?

I'm really shy! I recorded in a private karaoke booth because I'm quite shy to sing in public! The video I made afterwards!

Wonder if openmic takes Chinese or Cantonese. ;-)

Yes, you can sing in any language you like

I'm sure they will accept foreign languages to. You don't necessarily need to understand the words to enjoy the music.

Hmm... maybe a Christmas song to start the mood. Start searching, everyone

Director says: Cut. Look at the first line in your white board. ;-)

steemit 好声音 ,赞 :)

谢谢啦~~希望大家一起来参加,哈哈:)

youtube 能收到?

是的 一起来参加吧:)

Thanks for entering Open Mic. Don't forget to add a link to your post to the comments of the contest so I know you have entered.

How do the masses know that @sweetsssj really made this recording earlier today?

And would a performance that isn't really live even count in Open Mic @luzcypher?
