Aspiring Artist Alert – Teresa Tseng

One day last semester, I was searching Youtube for a copy of F.I.R’s song 你的微笑. One of the renditions I stumbled upon was by a young high-school artist called Teresa Tseng (曾咏霖).

After digging further, I found the following gems:

Zhang Hui Mei (阿妹)’s 记得

Sandy Lam (林忆莲)’s 夜太黑

Liang Jin Ru (梁静茹)’s “Fly Away”

Zhang Hui Mei (阿妹)’s 灰姑娘

Now, those are some of the hardest songs in Cpop to sing. Other aspiring artists have done much worse, but Teresa managed to create even better renditions of the songs. Her voice is naturally mellow and strong but is not really that unique for female singers. No matter. I think she’ll be more successful singing love ballads than fast songs, an artist in the mold of 梁静茹.

Did I mention she’s got a pretty face and cute clothes?

Oh, as a bonus, I really like F.I.R’s 月牙弯 from their new(est?) album
