Lin Yu Chun: The Newest Singing Sensation

So we happened to catch Lopez Tonight (Week Nights at 11pm ET on TBS) and were lucky enough to see Lin Yu Chen’s debut on late night TV in America. And boy, can that boy sing! Born and raised in Taiwan, this 24-year old has captured a lot of attention around the world since he appeared on the Taiwanese singing competition show Super Star Avenue. We find him a breath of fresh air as American Idol has failed to intrigue us this season. He is hands-down our newest sweetheart. His cute teddy bear physique and itty bitty eyes that suddenly pop wide open when he is singing make him so adorable to watch. Tonight, his rendition of Whitney Houston’s I’m Saving All My Love for You got him a well-deserved standing ovation. His story gets more inspiring when he mentions that Susan Boyle inspired him to sing again as he had stopped singing when he was five years old (because his father wanted him to have a real job when he grew up. Go figure!) So, if you have a dream, don’t think it’s too late. Look at Susan Boyle and Lin Yu Chen and start working on it. You will not only be doing something good for yourself, you may be getting some hidden talents out there come out of their shells. So for now, we say hats off to you, Susan Boyle and Lin Yu Chun.
