Meet The Taiwanese Susan Boyle

William Wei
Apr. 8, 2010, 9:12 AM

Who would have thought a 24 year old Taiwanese man with a Beatles bowl cut could belt out notes rivaling Whitney Houston?

After a hair-raising performance on Taiwanese singing contest Super Star Avenue, Lin Yu Chun now seems to be the favorite to take home the $1 million prize.

His internet fame is also on the rise that rivals Britian unexpected superstar Susan Boyle.

Check out Lin Yu Chun belting Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" here (and think of The Bodyguard):

I thought that was a young kid who hadn’t gone through puberty. Whitney sure can’t sing like that anymore

Saw it yesterday. If I was watching him sing I’d swear I was hearing the younger Whitney singing.

Dolly wrote it when she broke up her singing partnership with Porter Wagoner - not a romantic relationship. I can’t stand Whitney’s version with the screaming and melisma.

I’d like to hear his voice with far less reverb added.

Am I the only one that thinks sounding like Whitney Houston is not a plus? I cannot bear to listen to that style of singing.

I hate the song but a short chubby Taiwanese guy busting out a perfect Whitney Houston is a must see.
