Chinese actress Li Xiaoran is drawing massive attention after her live performance of “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, has placed contestants under intense scrutiny, and Li Xiaoran quickly became one of the most talked-about participants after her visibly off-key vocals spread widely across social media.
Clips of her performance circulated rapidly online, sparking mockery, parodies, and heated debate. Addressing the backlash in a livestream with Chen Lan, she candidly admitted the experience left her deeply shaken. “I didn’t know my singing sounded that bad. I can sing fine at karaoke, but once I wore the in-ear monitor and stepped on stage, I completely lost control. I tried hard to stay on pitch, but the first note already fell apart,” she confessed, revealing she cried for two nights after the broadcast.
She further explained that the preparation time was extremely limited, with only 24 hours from receiving the assigned song to the final stage, including time for rest and other obligations. “I’m already 50. I couldn’t memorize everything. When I got on stage, my mind went blank—I couldn’t remember the lyrics at all,” she said, describing how disoriented she felt during the performance. Despite the outcome, she ironically received the highest audience popularity score, which made her feel even more conflicted. “It felt like being roasted over fire. I knew I would be heavily criticized,” she added.
Li Xiaoran emphasized that she never intended to perform poorly and was genuinely upset, especially worrying that her mistakes might affect her teammates. Her honest reaction has since triggered mixed responses online. While some criticized her vocals, many others defended her, praising her authenticity and courage to admit her shortcomings. Comments ranged from acknowledging her age and effort to noting how her “imperfect” moment unexpectedly pushed her into viral fame.
Chen Lan also voiced her support, highlighting Li Xiaoran’s sincerity as her greatest strength. “Being genuine is her ultimate weapon. Even if misunderstood now, people will eventually appreciate her,” she said. As discussions continue, Li Xiaoran has expressed determination to improve her singing, turning criticism into motivation while her viral moment remains one of the most talked-about highlights of the season.
