weak. As a dancer, she's not much better. Hei Nan, one of the

event's judges, told the Guangzhou Daily that Li was "the worst

of the top six in terms of singing skills", so noted that she reaped 【S3】______

the most audience votes.

the tryouts, Li wore loose jeans and a black button-down shirt,

with no make-up. She auditioned (预演) with In My Heart

by Liu Wenzheng a man. In the main competition she sang

other songs written for female performers and called herself "a 【S6】______

tomboy". For an ordinary Chinese audience, Li's disregard for

the rule book produced an unfamiliar knee-weakening. Her fans

wept openly and frantically shrieked when Li took the stage.

ends up selecting the singer has the least ability to carry a me？" 【S9】______

But she is more: Li represents un-embarrassed individuality, and

that' s how she's a national icon. 【S10】______
