tanithryudoIt looks like Jiangsu isn't going to put anything up on Youtube, and all the other stations/channels have finished their uploads yesterday. So I can go ahead and recap that morning I spent as a zombie. =P
There's two stages that Zhou Shen performed which are still trending in some places. The one I watched live at the time was of course Jiangsu's performance where he sang 3 duets with an AR projection of 邓丽君. This one trended first on weibo, then wechat and douyin, then (still) on bilibili. It's also caught attention outside of the entertainment circle, popping up in finance circle regarding the prospects of VR/AR stock, and in other...unexpected places.
And of course, the performance itself is great. 邓丽君 is Zhou Shen's boyhood idol, so this stage is really a dream come true for him. He definitely got teary eyed when singing the last song (his song).

The other hot performance is his cover of the english song "Just Like Fire", the second of his two performances at Bilibili's gala. But for some reason, bilibili bundled up both songs into one video on both their site and on youtube, and didn't put the name of either song in the title either (= _ =). Whatever, it starts at 5:10 of the below video.

On CCTV, he performed an unbeat cover of 《你要跳舞吗》. The entire performance is sang in a lower key than his normal songs, which is a bit unique.
On Beijing TV, he performed yet another rendition of 《光亮》 (the...3rd? 4th? live performance of this song since it came out in Nov). Then his new song for douyin 《好好生活就是美好生活》, which is unique in that the lyrics are all drawn from popular douyin comments, and the original MV was made using popular douyin moments. Though, I have to say, while Zhou Shen's singing is faultless, I do still really like Shanghai's performance of this song using several douyin artists. The song's theme is pretty suited for a group performance.

Oh yeah, and on Jiangsu he also had a solo performance of 《生活总该迎着光亮》. But it's not his first performance of that song either, and it was the first performance chronologically...so basically it got overshadowed by everything else.
