One can’t believe this young artist is 12 years old as he sounds so mature in his singing and full of self confidence.

We always are amazed at this phenomena – when a very young child appears from nowhere in the center of the stage and causes us to ask – is he really 12 years old? How can it be…

Usually it takes many years to learn to play the piano and master the art of singing, not to mention you have to overcome your fears etc…

Here we see the opposite – so perfect and so natural…

Greyson Chance – it’s a pleasure to meet you… wish you Great Success!

When I posted this video of Lin Yu Chun singing, I knew that it would get a large response, but I had no idea how large! So many people from around the world have commented about how much they enjoyed the video, just as I was blown away when I first came across it. I see a lot of the comments that are sent to this channel, and I have been amazed at their overwhelmingly positive nature. Sure, there are a few mean ones, but those are actually rare. My faith in humanity is renewed. =)

Way to go, Lin Yu Chun!

Taiwan singer hits all the right notes as YouTube clip goes viral
By ANNIE HUANG
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan

As a younger man, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-chun sang for hours on end, trying to get his mind off the sneers he endured because of his portly figure.

The round-faced soprano with the bowl haircut never imagined his voice would one day transform him into an international sensation.

But now, he is being compared to Britain’s Susan Boyle, the plain-looking 48-year-old who shot to stardom after singing “I Dreamed a Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Lin’s Whitney Houston-like rendition of “I Will Always Love You” on Taiwan’s “Avenue to Stardom” talent show last Friday has already racked up some 1.3 million views on YouTube, and the number is climbing fast.

For the 24-year-old with the disparaging nickname of “Little Fatty,” the event has been a life-changer.

“I now have more confidence in pursuing a singing career,” Lin told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “You don’t have to be a good-looking man or woman to succeed. Just be yourself and try your best.”

Lin said he had long suffered from a lack of self-confidence because of his plain looks and rotund figure.

“Being fat draws a lot of mockery in our society,” he said.

To cope with the pain of his exclusion, he locked himself in his room and sang along with the songs of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

But the artist who really grabbed him was Houston — particularly the song “I Will Always Love You,” from the soundtrack to the 1992 film “The Bodyguard.”

“I played it again and again even though my parents couldn’t stand it any more and asked me to stop,” Lin said.

Lin has had a bumpy start to stardom.

After graduating from college last year, he failed to make much of an impression on another Taiwanese talent show, where judges criticized both his looks and his high-pitched voice.

“One said I should instead pursue the career of a comedian, and another questioned whether it was right for a man to sing soprano,” he said.

Now all that is behind him.

“(The show) has reinvigorated me,” he said.

Still, Lin said, he is doing his best not to let his new found fame go to his head.

“I’m trying not to be overwhelmed,” he said.

Paris Hilton has the Brazilian government up in arms.

A spokesperson for the country’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs wants a beer commercial the heiress stars in off the air, according to the AP.

In the ad, Hilton, 29, poses in a short black dress and rubs a can of Devassa (which translates to “naughty”) beer on herself while onlookers swoon through a window.

“It’s an ad that devalues women – in particular, blond women,” says the spokeswoman.

Eduardo Correia, a spokesperson for regulation company Conar, which has opened three investigations into the campaign, says the ad is particularly offensive because it doesn’t take place on a beach. (The country is known for its tiny bikinis.)

“The problem with the ad isn’t a lack of clothing, but its sensual nature,” Correia said. “A woman in a bikini on a beach isn’t necessarily sensual; it depends on the context.”

Wrote Hilton on Twitter Friday, “Are they serious? So ridiculous.”

You could write off the 3D blockbuster movie Avatar as a fluke. You could even call U2 3D a flop. But Disney’s three-dimensional movie Alice in Wonderland is breaking all previous box office records for March.

Entertainment Weekly’s Hollwood Insider blog reports that Alice launched like a rocket on Friday, beating the opening-night record revenue raked in three years ago by 300, another movie that pushed the boundaries of computer-assisted filmmaking.

Avatar, EW adds, is finally falling off with a declining revenue curve akin to a regular film. But that’s after the most expensive movie ever made became the all-time box 0ffice champ, packing theaters for 12 weeks and beating producer James Cameron’s previous super-success, Titanic.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Alice is playing on the Drink Me-sized IMAX screen at the AMC Bay Street 16 theater in Emeryille, and in Disney Digital 3D on regular-sized screens everywhere.

If you go, watch the tea party scene closely. As reported on VentureBeat, it was filmed with standard 2D cameras and then converted to 3D by SoCal digital post-production house Legend 3D.

Beyoncé and the Queen of England are dazzled by her.
Lady Gaga is one of the most fascinating music artists we’ve ever seen. And unlike most people who are given that title, she actually manages to live up to it—she’s a true artist—while still singing ultracatchy pop songs that make it impossible not to dance. She’s kind of a genius… but she’s also kind of bizarre. Who is she, really? We plan to find out.

We offer her a cocktail, but she has a soldout concert in a few hours, and she doesn’t want to drink before the show. Instead, she orders riceless sushi and dressingless salad. For Gaga, life is all about being in the spotlight… and why would she do anything to jeopardize that?

Before Taylor was a singer, she was a poet. She won a national poetry contest when she was only 9 years old, and by the age of 12 she was putting her poems to music. “If you can put words together the right way, and if you put the right rhymes at the end of the right sentences, you can make words bounce of a page. That’s always been my favorite thing,” she says. “I’ve made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I’m allowed to write my own music.”
