Bjork, eat your heart out.I've always had a wicked fascination with Asian pop, partly because of my yellow blood, but mainly because at times American music has become so sensationalized in terms of artists trying to be the baddest, craziest, or scariest of all motherfuckers in their respective categories that genres such as J- & K-pop are simply a breath of fresh air.
One such artist I've discovered is Sue, a photo-shy Taiwanese lounge singer with an impressive set of pipes, as heard on her debut album covering Chinese and American standards. While her Chinese songs are damn-near flawless, listeners might tend to snicker at her somewhat thick accent in her renditions of such pop classics as Patsy Cline's "Crazy" or the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It's not as apparent as William Hung, and consequently, it's not as funny either.
Sue - Something about entering and exiting a country, I guess. We'll just call it... Track 3
Sue - Unchained Melody
