...who has posted so much music that's widened my horizons, I figured maybe it was time to try a hand at returning the pleasure. (But the rest of you should watch, too.)

From one of the artist's fansites:

Zhang Yun Jing (Jing Chang) is a Taiwanese singer who emerged as the winner of the first season of the Taiwanese singing competition "Super Idol" back in 2008.

Releasing her debut album in 2009 and winning countless music awards across the globe, she is now a force to be reckoned with within the Taiwanese music community. Her sophomore album "The Opposite Me" was released on July 9, 2010 and quickly soared to the number one spot on multiple charts.

...which would all sound so very, very... pat, until you realize she's pretty much breaking a whole lot of templates when it comes to what's expected -- just watch & you'll see what I mean. Also, see more videos from The Opposite Me via the last link in this post.

And from dramacafe:

...up-and-coming singer Zhang Yun Jing (also written Chang Yun Jing) was one of the most eye-catching newcomers of 2008. Originally a graphic designer, Yun Jing has won acclaim for the poster design of [the Taiwanese] movie Beautiful Crazy...

And, because any artist who can do this must be someone with a great sense of humor, especially when you consider the instrument involved. (And it works! Really. I kid not!)

I can't believe you're so surprised. I know I don't comment a great deal, but I thought you knew your music posts always make me sit up and watch! XD

(Especially the series you did on older black female blues musicians -- this house has so many CDs of classic old-times blues black male musicians, but you really opened my eyes -- and like TRIPLED my amazon wish list -- with those posts!)

ehhhh, I was just about to edit my post to say: I should've made it clearer (and posted more) to let you know how much I appreciate those posts -- didn't mean to make it sound like I expected you to be a mindreader! (Serves me right for typing while thinking too fast... I really need to stop that. Gets me in trouble every time.) But I'd also wanted to be able to contribute in return and only now found something I thought worthy of your attention. >.>
