Watch Out Da Shan!
My mission to take over Da Shan’s throne has progressed to a new level. Two guys from the Dalian TV station were in our university the other day and they want me to go on TV to sing and speak Chinese!
I am not totally sure what the TV show is, but I heard that it will be on national TV (CCTV 4) as well as on the Dalian TV station.
Well, since I haven’t learned any more Chinese songs, I will have to sing the well-worn 月亮代表我的心 aka The Moon Represents My Heart. Hopefully I won’t mess the whole thing up and get tongue-tied, but if they keep their Chinese simple and clear I should be grand.
If I get the video of the performance, I will post it up on my YouTube site.

Dude, that's really cool. Hope it goes well. Dashan is a no-talent punk anyhow, and it's about time someone took his place.
Kinda strange that you wrote about this, as I just spoke about exactly this over at Ryan's new blog: http://www.lostlaowai.com/commentary/blog/2006/10/22/famous-in-china/
Good luck with it!

I don't know, dude. I mean, I hate to be the buzz kill guy, but really, do you want to be another DaShan? I mean, if you can pull it off and stay respectable, go for it.

You can be saying negative things about Dashan if you're only going to be singing the most saccarine song known to man. I'd go for some 朴树 or 老狼. Or do a Chinese version "Ohio" and see if survives the censors.
