(the actual performance he did during the show is even better - but this one doesn't have the girls and audiences reactions cut in)
Unpopular opinion no doubt. Most people would probably go for Versace on the Floor or Wugan or Dragon Fist.
I get it. Pick me Up is a relatively simple, cute-sy dance, not really up to Yibo's level. But because of that, and I think also because of the fact he was very stressed about being a dance mentor to these girls in the first place, he throws absolutely everything he has in the performance. Every move is so well articulated, accompanied by the perfect facial expression and brimming with energy and enthusiasm. And that is why I can't get enough of it.

ma xiaolong talks about working with yibo as he choreographed his performance of twins:
Q: How many times have you cooperated with Mr. Wang Yibo?
MXL : many times and i am completely at ease because of him. because after i choreographed this dance before i gave it to the director of henan satellite tv and they asked if it will be too difficult or what. then i said it’s no problem, because first of all wang yibo is a professional hip hop dancer. it’s done very well. he remember the actions fast and the adaptability is also very high. he is a professional dancer. that’s how i see him all the time anyway.
Travelling through time and space, facing the darkness, loneliness and the passage of time. When the phone rings, would you like to dance with Captain Yibo?
