\n\tBarbie<\/em> star Simu Liu is not ready to stop feeling the Kenergy. The actor who played a rival Ken to Ryan Gosling\u2019s abtastic Ken in Greta Gerwig\u2019s Oscar-nominated box office blockbuster busted out a solo version of the theme song from the movie\u2019s signature dance number, \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken,\u201d at an intimate show at Los Angeles\u2019 Hotel Caf\u00e9 on Wednesday (Dec, 13).<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a video of the gig he posted on X, Liu instructed the crowd, \u201cIf there\u2019s one thing that I want each and every one of you to take away from this show tonight in your hearts it\u2019s that you\u2019re enough,\u201d he said the to 100 or so fans in the house as a keyboardist played some piano mood music behind him. \u201cI want you to do this with me now. I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to put your hand on your heart, and I want you to repeat after me, okay?: I. Am. Kenough.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThey, of course, did as he instructed and Liu then busted into the first verse of the track written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt in a strong, soulful voice over a jazzy arrangement. He later admitted, however, that like the real world in the movie, something was a little off.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe most Ken thing about this is that I forgot part of the words to \u2018I\u2019m Just Ken.\u2019 What a great night!!!!,\u201d Liu wrote on X after he fumbled the chorus line \u201cWhere I see love she sees a friend,\u201d smiling and mumbling a nonsense phrase where the lyric should have been. He made up for it by taking off his leather jacket and showing off his guns in a tank top to whoops from the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe consummate professional laughed off the flub, asking, \u201cAre you ready to feel the Kenergy with me tonight? Let\u2019s do this! You are Kenough, you are Kenough!\u201d He also busted out the choreo from the movie\u2019s insane dance dream sequence and belted out the lyrics while literally flexing all over the place and letting out a primal scream mid-song.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d debuted at No. 87 on the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100 in August, giving Ryan Gosling his first entry<\/a> on the 100 tally.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis isn\u2019t Liu\u2019s first singing rodeo. The actor released his debut four-track EP, Anxious-Avoidant<\/em>, in Novmeber, which includes a song co-written by the Jonas Brothers\u2019 Joe Jonas, \u201cBreak My Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
