I DREW A GOOD HANDFUL OF OCS AGAIN :3C

This list consists of trainees who were on my list but were unfortunately eliminated or just me preferring other trainees in the top 9. In no particular order I quickly realised it was in their rank order:

LIANG SEN

Before you come at me for this, let me explain. I love that he’s a triple threat, and I enjoyed his performance especially “jade” as he was the perfect center for that song in my opinion. The reason why I chose other contestants over him in my final list is because I feel like he would shine more if he was a solo artist as supposed to being in a group. This was one of those cases like shangguan xiai last season where I was conflicted whether I want them in the group or not but nonetheless if 10 was the lineup he would be my 10th member.

CHEN YUGENG (CRAYON)

This contestant became one of my faves during group battle. I really liked him in “stand” and “domesticator” which showcased his powerful and charismatic side. I admired his leadership qualities and his love for rap. The way he carries himself on stage makes him 10x handsome and his relationship with his brother danfeng is adorable. Also his “go hard” performance was so fire I was having the time of my life. Wishing the best for him and danfeng.

JIANG JINGZUO

You have no idea how much I love him despite not mentioning him in my blog ever. He is the definition of an idol and he is what were looking for in the lineup but clearly iqiyi had other plans. He is a beautiful performer and a great singer I’m honestly just blown away. I loved every performance he has done but if I were to pick one, its definitely “history”. Can’t wait to see him on stage again.

ZHANG SIYUAN (G.G. ZHANG SIYUAN)

His rap is divine. I love this guy and he still has a soft spot in my heart. He may not be the best dancer, he has the stage presence to make up for it and does an amazing job every time. My favourite performances from him are “unworthy” and “domesticator”. Also, him fanboying over THE9 is such a mood I love him. I already miss him and junhao.

CHEN JUNHAO (DRCCHEN)

Speaking of junhao, he’s also another honorable mention. He is another triple threat I admire on the show and his friendship with siyuan and sen are honestly the best. My favourite performances from him, well honestly, I can’t choose cause I enjoyed every stage he performed but I will pick “tou tou”. You know what would be awesome? If he, siyuan, sen and chase release a song together, I’d listen to that all day.

ZI YU

I thought I wouldn’t like him but I can’t help it. He is too adorable for words watch out chase. I noticed him when he was forced to do “stand” and I felt bad that he had to perform a song he didn’t want. Either way he is now someone who I look forward to on stage and I love his performances, especially “superpower”. I also enjoyed his “close to you” and “monsoon” stage. His pose in that photo ashsjs so cute!!!

CHEN JUNYU (JAYDON)

I love his voice. His vocals are out of this world. I knew he was good at singing but when he did “stop sugar” for the studio group battle challenge thing no idea where i went with that I swore my heart skipped a beat. He was great in “tou tou” but “stop sugar” was made for him. Anyway, his performances were so good especially “close to you” and “forever love” which was not aired screw you iqiyi.

ZHONG JUNYI (ONE)

My underrated favourite. He is another triple threat I like and is quite handsome I need to promote my faves you guys. I knew he’s a great dancer and rapper but when he was center for “stop sugar” I was blown away. My favourite performances were “history”, “stop sugar” and his part in “kick it”. His stage presence is amazing and I need people to know that he exists. Please look out for his future activities.

FANG ZHENG

His vocals. Thats all I’m gonna say. It’s disappointing to see that viewers slept on this guy when he has a dynamite voice. In both performances he did, he showcased his stellar vocals and his dance capabilities. Out of the two performances, I loved “let me stay” which highlighted his vocal ability but “never get low” was good too those light up fans were so cool I want one.

YANG YUEHAN (JOHAN)

I was so mad when he got eliminated. He has such a deep sexy voice hold it together vivs and he’s a decent dancer. I love his performances in “unworthy” and “jade” oh not to mention “heartbreaker”. It’s sad that the only time people knew him was when liang sen delivered the iconic line “don’t touch my johan!” when ailizati wanted him to join his group but I’m excited to see what he does in the future.

Those are my 10 of many honorable mentions. It was so hard to pick just 10 to talk about because if I wanted to talk about all of my faves, this would be a long post like last season. Let me know who your faves are!!
