Mikewhy是The Dent (http://thedent.com)的站長有鑑於他之前對於王菲和許茹芸的翻唱版本的高度興趣(我還寄了mp3給他放在站上) 這次有新的翻唱當然非通知他不可所以就寫了封信: Hi Mikewhy! This is Andrew Mei ("anchovies" on the Dent Forums) from Taiwan. I want to let you know that there is a new cover version of Silent All These Years out in Taiwan. It's done by Singaporean pop singer Yanzi Sun (or Stephanie Sun), and is released on Warner Music Taiwan. Yanzi Sun is one of the brightest stars that has emerged in the Chinese pop scene in recent years. Born and educated in Singapore, she began her singing career in Taiwan in 2000. With her girl-next-door charms, sweet smile and a distinctive voice that made her stand out among a crop of teen idols, Yanzi gained herself immense popularity in no time. In the past two years she has released three albums and one live concert cd, appeared in numerous commercials, and established a devoted fanbase in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and her native Singapore. Her fourth album, titled "Start," was out a few days ago in Taiwan. In this album Yanzi goes back to her roots and covers songs that have meant something special or played a memorable role in her life. The songs include: the Beatles' Hey Jude, Patti Smyth's Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough, Alanis Morissette's That I Would Be Good, and Silent All These Years, with Silent All These Years being the first promoted track. Already somewhat familiarized with the song earlier by Faye Wong's cover versions in Mandarin and Cantonese, the Chinese audience now has the pleasure to hear another version, with the original lyrics and a different arrangement. The track, currently on heavy rotation on radio and TV, has stirred up quite a bit of interest and discussion - on the track itself as well as on Tori's original. I am happy to see that Tori's music is reaching more and more people in this part of the world through Yanzi's cover, and I hope those who like the song will appreciate Tori's other works also and turn into ears with feet! As for what the track sounds like, I want you to hear it for yourself. Please give me an e-mail address that I can send an mp3 to! Here are a couple of English fansites for Yanzi Sun: http://www.yanziunlimited.f2s.com/mainpage.htm http://sunyanzi.has.it You may want to get some photos of her from the sites above. Best wishes, Andrew 寫得很客觀吧完全沒有表達我對她的版本的嫌棄 -- never was a cornflake boy thought that was a good solution hanging with the raisin boys he's gone to the other side giving us a yo heave ho things are getting kind of gross and I go at sleepy time this is not really happening .......you bet your life it is....... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.twbbs.org) ◆ From: 210.85.15.4
