臺灣男版蘇珊大媽一唱驚人

In case you haven't already seen it, this video of a man singing 'I Will Always Love You' on the Taiwanese talent show 'Super Star Avenue' is outstanding for a few reasons.

我們為還沒看過的讀者解釋一下，這位男士在臺灣選秀節目“超級星光大道”上高歌“我永遠愛你”(I Will Always Love You)的視頻吸引眾多眼球有以下幾個原因。

First, Lin Yu Chun gives Whitney Houston an insane run for her money; he is the Taiwanese Susan Boyle without the cat.

首先，林育群的唱功與惠特妮•休斯頓(Whitney Houston)難分軒輊；他堪稱臺灣版“蘇珊大媽”(Susan Boyle)，只不過不像后者那樣與貓相依為命。

Second, like Boyle, his style is somewhat…retro. We love that bowl cut.

第二，跟蘇珊大媽一樣，他的風格也有點兒……老派。我們愛死他那個西瓜頭發型了。


Finally, and most disconcertingly for Western viewers, there's no applause at a single point during the song - not even when Lin hits notes only a Medieval-era castrato should reach. On American talent shows, lights flash, confetti is thrown and the audience erupts at the first marginally well-sung note.
最后，也是最令西方觀眾驚異人一點是，他演唱的整個過程中沒有一次掌聲──就連他唱出只有中世紀閹唱者才能唱出的高音時都沒有掌聲。而在美國選秀節目中，只要選手稍微唱得像樣點兒，就會獲得燈光狂閃、彩紙如雨、觀眾爆出歡呼的待遇。
