Stefanie Sun( Sun Yanzi) had thousands of fans screaming repeatedly
last Saturday not only for her lovely appearance and beautiful songs,
but for her unbelievable ability to change costumes (服装 ) on stage
in a matter of seconds.
"I practiced quite a lot on this," said Sun with a childish grin
(露齿而笑), "There need to be some surprises for my fans, because
they've waited for so long. " After a year's delay because of
the SARS outbreak, the Singaporean pop queen was finally able to
begin her first tour of China on June 5 in Guangzhou. Her next stop
will be Beijing,on June 12.
"I'm so happy to show my best here and now and to share my
happiness with my fans," she said. Music has been an inseparable
(不可分的)part of Sun's life since childhood. She began to study
piano at her father's suggestion at the age of five. She soon found
that she could express her happiness and sadness through the pian
But the piano-playing girl never thought of a singing career. "I
did love singing very much, but going to a good university seemed to
be my only dream through my school years. "After graduating from
high school, Sun studied sales and marketing at Nanyang Technology
University in Singapore. But she was happy to be able to study
singing with Li Weisong and Li Sisong, two well-known Singaporean
song-writers, in her spare time.
But,when head of Warner Music,Taiwan heard her voice during
Li Sisong's visit to Taiwan, he could hardly believe that the powerful
voice came from that slender body. He immediately decided to
sign her. Sun didn't disappoint him. Her debut (首发的,初次的 )
album" Sun Yanzi" was released in May, 2000 and became an in-
stant hit. It remained at No. 3 0n Taiwan's top charts for 11 weeks.
Half a year later, her second album" My Desired Happiness" won
her three nominations(提名 )at the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan,
including the Best New Artist.
"It took me quite some time to get used to being watched and
surrounded by people on the street," Sun said, recalling the overnight
success, " I'm financially stronger, but I still don't want to
spend money on expensive things. "
