okay probably no one would care except cindy, poach and yvonne - because i have no other cheena friends - but see, i was randomly looking for new 林志炫 clips but then i came on this 張雨生秀高音 video (forward to around 2.38) where the comperes get him to sing the same phrase at successively higher keys. gosh. the man doesn't seem even to have heard of falsetto. or needed to have.

(also, the two comperes are damn funny - the one of the left is 李茂山, i think he sang a duet with 林淑容 called 无言的结局 back in the 80s which my parents liked (because of the line 也许我会忘记 / 也许会更想你 / 也许已没有也许 - well okay, okay, philosophical enough for a pop song) - but i don't recognise the one on the right though he looks very familiar - i'm sure i knew who he was at one point - do you guys?) anyway i digress. this 張雨生 business is, i think the word for it is, shiok. give it a listen, if you know who 張雨生 is.
