See Dolly Parton on Wendy Williams Show watching Lin Yu Chun's performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deLqzQLuGOU *NOTE*: If anyone has a link to Lin Yu Chun's official site or Facebook fan page, please send me a private message. I will put the links on the video for fans to get more information. I didn't allow automatically-posted comments on the video until 4 days after uploading it. I think the number of views for this video would have been much higher had I just allowed comments to be posted automatically from the start. Just something to keep in mind. Interview with the now-world famous Lin Yu Chun (in Mandarin Chinese): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyKTaFUOtlw 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! Below is from: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wirestory?id=10327746&page=1 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. dodgers sports dodger sports game god bless america taiwan touch your heart day tourism los angeles star spangled banner national anthem american Tags: 17, album, albums, america's got talent, american idol, asia, asian, avenue, best, body, boy, britain's got talent, cantonese, cd, cds, china, chinese, competition, deal, dollars, dream, dreamed, filipino, guard, hit, japan, japanese, judges, july, kid, korea, korean, mandarin, million, movie, music, one, paul, performance, performer, performs, philippines, platinum, pop idol, potts, record, seller, signs, singapore, singer, sony, star, starking, super, susan boyle, taiwan, taiwan's got talent, teen, teenager, video, winner, x factor 1 Downloads - Last from: (Your Blog here!) |

Anis Mojgani - For Those Who Can Still Ride In Airplanes - Poems / Poetry To see Anis Mojgani perform live is an exercise in jaw control. It's the classic "I laughed, I cried, I was transformed" experience. Imagine the perfect artistic expression of mans timeless struggle to understand God—to make sense of this life. Then watch Anis' poetry. It's as if someone came into your dark, sleepy world of self and flung open the heavy velvet curtains to let the blinding light shine in. Anis is one of those rare people who can talk about life in a real, accessible way. No fuss. No frills. No airy-fairy embellishments. Just BOOM! Your humanity, on stage, speaking to you. Even people who think poetry is well, lame, become transfixed by what they witness. So it's no wonder he has been the World Poetry Slam Champion as well as National Poetry Slam Champion (twice). It's also no surprise that he had so much to offer when SoulPancake recently asked him some of Life's Big Questions. On spirituality, God, and (gulp) religion SP: Is spirituality a trend? AM: Sometimes I think it is. Our society is weird: Its a non-secular society that pretends its secular and is filled with a people that want the benefits of religion without recognizing religion as being something beneficial. We have all these things that supply us with what we hunger for—new clothes, tasty food, hot kicks, movies, television, music—but there are aspects of our make-up that dont get fulfilled. Weve created a society where its not even kosher or cool to discuss the emptiness, the unexplainable longing that passes in and out of all our lives. I feel that is connected to the spirit. There are these moments in all of us when we are inexplicably joyous or sorrowful, but weve boxed ourselves up so as not to talk about this as freely as we may discuss 30 Rock or Seinfeld. Thats why spirituality becomes trendy. There is a hunger that many of us have for some divine and spiritual connection, but there is no arena to have that without committing to a religion, which a good number of us hold zero interest for. So what to do? Well, heres this thing spirituality. And it allows me to feed my soul and commune with my spirit without having to deal with the connotation of organized religion. SP: Chanting, chakras, and chopras aside, what does being "spiritual" really mean? AM: I believe it to refers to maintaining a connection, a communication, a relationship, with the inner mechanics of the world—the same mechanics that power us. SP: Where does God play into all of this? AM: God is the builder of those inner mechanics. SP:Then why is talking about God so awkward? AM: Cuz its abstract! We want to be right in our thoughts and our beliefs, and for many of us, the thought of discussing that could mean that we are wrong. And that would be bigger than being wrong about a math problem—its being wrong about our entire structure of being. SP: Have you ever had a moment when you felt God? AM: I was riding a bicycle in Savannah, Ga., and something clicked. Things made sense. The blades of grass and the size of them and how small and how big they are, and it felt like I was in the lap of something bigger than all of this. I started crying—just bawling—and then I started laughing at what a sight I must have been, crying and biking in the middle of the day, and the tears came down even more and the laughs came out even harder, and the whole time, I felt him. SP: Do we need religion? AM: We need a new definition of religion. I think ours is outdated? Maybe too small. I need what religion actually is, which is a way to reveal to humanity how to exist as strongly and nobly as we can—and how to maintain that. SP: What gives 'religion' such a bad name? AM: People. SP: Would the world be better off without religion? AM: Based on the results of what we have done in the name of religion, yes. But based on what I feel religion actually is and has the potential to be, no.
