The song that is streaming right now is "我身騎白馬" by 徐佳瑩 (translation: "I'm riding a white steed" - by Lala Shu).....
Most importantly...... She CO-wrote the song! Really talented!
She is currently a top15 contestant on the Taiwanese reality show "One Million Star 3 - 超級星光大道 第三屆" Season 1 produced Aska Yang and Jam Xiao... dunno much about season 2 though....
Ok, I'm not really a fan of her voice..... i just like the way she sang the song
Anyway One Million Star 3 audition singers from places like Singapore, Indonesia, USA..... as long as they sang Chinese songs
There is one Singaporean in the top15 right now.... but read my lips "His singing is awful!"..... ok la... maybe I'm exaggerating...... but as many would already know.... after 6 years of watching Simon Cowell on American Idol, I picked up some of his good/bad habits..... hehe:)
anyway here's a video of her singing

There are a few people to watch out for on tonight's American Idol Top 8 performances.... I watched the videos on dailymotion already..... and there were a few surprises....
First, Kristy Lee Cook.... I think she did really well... (I can't believe I'm saying this)
Next, Jason Castro..... easily the best of the night.... however, I've heard the original version of the song.... so inevitably i'll make comparisons between the two.... but still, he did very well
Syesha.... she might as well commit suicide... of all songs..... why did she sing that?
David Archuleta was amazing as usual..... didn't really watch the rest....

I really have to say something about this new show on Channel U, called U are the one 唯我独尊.... What is it all about??? It just doesn't make any sense to me.
It is supposed to be a talent hunt for new artistes for Channel U
I must clarify that I haven't watched the show and have no plans to watch it at all....
But, what's going on with how they judge these new talents?
The contest rounds in the competition are as follows:
Episode 1 Prelude
8 Thematic Rounds:
Episode 2 Mr Hunk
Episode 3 Ms Sexy Babe
Episode 4 Mr Cool Man
Episode 5 Ms Sweety
Episode 6 Mr Sunshine
Episode 7 Ms Sporty
Episode 8 Mr Metrosexual
Episode 9 Ms Natty
Episode 10 Semi-Final
Episode 11 Semi-Final
Episode 12 Preview
Episode 13 Grand Final (15 June)
hahahaha.... the titles Mr Hunk, Ms Sexy Babe, Mr Cool Man, Ms Sweety, Mr Sunshine, Ms Sporty, Mr Metrosexual, Ms Natty just cracks me up! lol hahaha..... isn't it ridiculous? especially Mr Cool Man and Ns Natty....
__________________________________________________________________
1. David Archuleta - once again, another great performance
2. Carly Smithson
3. Michael Johns - i don't really get his song choice, but i'll give him credit for the vocals
4. David Cook
5. Syesha Mercado - i think she did well on such a big song....
6. Brooke White - boring
7. Jason Castro - even more boring....
I'll tie the 8th and 9th spots.... they were equally bad
Ramiele Malubay and Kristy Lee Cook
