Marvelous singers appearing in the titles of the news is normal, but this has changed when the reporters met her. Who is she? She is Jia-Liang, a talented Chinese singer, who recently stands out. Why is she so famous? She is only 23 years old, but with her passion of singing and music, she has the talent to mimic abundant different singers’ voices within one song. Reporters revealed her talent from the Internet into the news’ article.

Jia-Liang possesses a group of friends, who are interested in singing and music as she is. They often get together and sing; different from others, Jia-Liang has the passion of singing for her dream not just for entertainment. She even sang in the Bar for more than half a year until her parents said no. As a result, after she graduated from the college, she started the occupation as the secretary in the office. On the other side, she has also attended lots of singing competitions in Beijing, but she did not win any praise or rewards.

Jia-Liang first started to mimic other singers after she noticed that she could learn from the numerous mimicking videos of male artists. Liang came up an idea with a female mimicking other singers instead of males doing it would provide great entertainment. Therefore, she produced the most famous piece on Jay Chou’s “thousand kilometer beyond” with imitate fourteen singers from females to males. This video only took her two hours to record with more than ten tones in the song. She decided to publish the videos merely for entertaining others, but she had never known that she would be exceedingly prominent after showing those videos. Furthermore, she sang two other songs with not only different singers but also some characters in cartoons. One of them is mimicking Jay Chou’s “the Rainbow”, which she was aping nine notorious singers with three Cartoon’s characters. The other is “Going Home often” , where she simulated over ten singers.

After those videos were becoming more and more popular online, countless fans have come to admire Jia-Liang and encouraged her on her journey to reach her goal. Instead of mimicking those singers’ voices and tones, she once said that she wanted to accomplish her dream to not only become a singer, but also to use her own voice to sing her own songs. Though her parents protest that she has chosen singing as a job, she still stated that one day after training, she will prove to everyone that she has the ability to make a living for herself by singing.

Personally, what she caught my eye was how she could mimic over fourteen singers’ voice and tone as the reflection of them. She might not have the perfect voice for singing, but she could wisely use and perform her talent on controlling her voice to ape other singers’ voice. Additionally, the fact that she has already done admirably in the videos she posted for entertainment also impressed me.
After all, how do you think about a singer been famous in this way?
