Web Pulse: Has Taiwan found the new Susan Boyle?<http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/07/web-pulse-has-taiwan-found-the-new-susan-boyle/>
** Lin Yu Chun sings "I Will Always Love You." *Here’s a quick glance at the collective consciousness of the Web on Wednesday:* *Lin Yu Chun<http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=f&pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=Lin+Yu+Chun> *– Even if you've never heard his name before, you may be about to get familiar with Lin Yu Chun. Think Susan Boyle name recognition giving Whitney Houston a run for her money - vocally, of course. Competing on Taiwan's "Super Star Avenue" (similar to "X-Factor" and "American Idol"), he sang Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" and blew away the competition and lit up the Internet all at the same time. (You can view his performance on YouTube here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB2Tl0xOqbI> *–* but don't say you weren't warned.) Lin Yu Chun may have just thrown down the gauntlet on Whitney's version. A challenge for you, blog readers: Click on the YouTube link and close your eyes and tell me *–* have you forgotten you're listening to a reality show and started to think you're hearing "The Bodyguard"? Because the young man belted high notes you'd have heard from Whitney herself during the Grammys in 1993.<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynO4PC3RP2w>While it's unclear how many people have seen his performance, because there are several versions of the video being passed around, Lin Yu Chun is working his way up Google trends and likely onto thousands of computers at work today. -- spanx' blog: http://spankyenriquez.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gimik" group.
