Probably no figure to have emerged recently in Chinese pop culture has been more widely reviled than Zeng Yike, the singer dubbed “Brother Zeng” by detractors for her supposedly androgynous appearance (I don’t really see it). Her somewhat anemic voice and tendency to wander off key stirred up indignation from many watching Hunan Satellite Television’s Super Girls vocal competition earlier this year, after judges Gao Xiaosong and Shen Lihui insisted she go on to final rounds despite her obvious shortcomings as a singer. By now you’ve probably read how her few remaining defenders, most of whom praised her originality as songwriter, have had their case undermined in recent days as it has emerged that one of her signature songs, “Leo” (as in the astrological sign), seems to have been plagiarized from another tune–a song called “Horizon.” There’s no doubt that the chord progression is the same and the melody uncannily similar, though both are to my ear so insipid that it’s entirely possible they could have been stumbled upon separately.

Before the whole Zeng Yike phenomenon passes on, as it so richly deserves to, to the Land of Forgotten Internet Memes, here’s a little reminder of how preposterously ubiquitous it had become. Yesterday someone uploaded the video below, taken of Shanghai’s Jiaotong University’s incoming class in their military training session, singing the song that’s become so controversial now. There’s also a solo megaphone performance of her other big (s)hit song, “Most Angelic.” Enjoy.
