A fantastic n entertaining singer. With greatest respect to her for her contributions to the music world in this part of Asia. I am her avid fan all my life and I must says she is a real jewel! Great thumbs up for her. She is good in singing English songs and her pronounciation is simply perfect being an Asian. Her Cantonese songs too is number one with " Shanghai Beach" hitting the top in the Chinese world in the 80s and is still popular today. Hope I can still continue to listen to her songs live as long as she sings.! Francis...A Very Big Thank You!
