Chinese actress Li Xiaoran is attracting a lot of attention after her live performance “Wish Sticky Note” ON Sisters Who Make Waves Season 7 went viral for all the wrong reasons. The show, which recently premiered with a “live, no audio correction” format, placed contestants under intense scrutiny, and Li Xiaoran quickly became one of the most talked about participants after her visibly off-key voice spread widely on social media.
Clips of his performance quickly circulated online, sparking mockery, parodies and heated debate. Addressing the backlash in a livestream with Chen Lan, she candidly admitted that the experience left her deeply shaken. “I didn’t know my singing sounded so bad. I can sing karaoke well, but once I put on the in-ear monitor and went on stage, I completely lost control. I tried so hard to stay in tune, but the first note was already falling apart.” he confessed, revealing that he cried for two nights after the broadcast.
He further explained that preparation time was extremely limited, with only 24 hours from receiving the song allocated to the final stage, including time for rest and other obligations. “I’m already 50 years old. I couldn’t memorize everything. When I went on stage, my mind went blank: I couldn’t remember the lyrics at all,” she said, describing how disoriented she felt during the show. Despite the result, she ironically received the highest popularity rating among the public, which made her feel even more conflicted. “I felt like I was being roasted over a fire. I knew I would be heavily criticized,” he added.
Li Xiaoran stressed that she never intended to misbehave and was sincerely upset, especially worried that her mistakes would affect her teammates. His honest reaction has since triggered mixed responses online. While some have criticized her voice, many others have defended her, praising her authenticity and courage to admit her flaws. Comments ranged from acknowledging her age and struggles to noting how her “imperfect” moment unexpectedly propelled her to viral fame.
Chen Lan also expressed his support, highlighting Li Xiaoran’s sincerity as his greatest strength. “Being genuine is her ultimate weapon. Even if misunderstood now, people will eventually appreciate her,” he said. As discussions continue, Li Xiaoran has expressed determination to improve her singing, turning criticism into motivation as her viral moment remains one of the most talked about moments of the season.
