Lin Yu Chun Covers ‘I Will Aways Love You’

Published: Thursday 8th Apr 2010 by Trent

Check out Lin Yu Chun’s stunning rendition of Whitney Houston’s version of ‘I Will Always Love You’. Being hailed as the ‘Taiwanese Susan Boyle’, the reality show contestant delivered one of the best performances of the song since Houston revamped the track for ‘The Bodyguard’. Chun’s cover has already become a Youtube sensation with over 1 million views and counting.

Sidebar: I wonder who would be able to sing this song better today: Chun or Houston?

Sam’s 2 Pence: I see a certain Lamb is throwing shade LOL…

Thoughts?

  3. Renee April 8, 2010

    This was great. I loved it. I don’t know if Whitney can still sing this song today, but I prefer Whitney’s version over all other singers any day of the week 🙂

  4. TRUTH April 8, 2010

    OHHH PULEEEZ. THIS IS GARBAGE. SOOO THE FAT FUGLY KID CAN MIMIC A NOTE OR TWO BUT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL. BESIDES HIS ANNOYING ACCENT RUINS THE CLARITY AND ENUNCIATION. EVEN CHARICE CAN OUTSING THIS D*****. HAS TALENT SUNK SO LOW THAT ANY1 WHO CAN COPY A NOTE IS THE NEW “INTERNET SENSATION”?? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FUGLY SUSAN BOYLE BESIDES HER ONE ALBUM WONDER AND FREQUENT ERRATIC MENTAL BREAKDOWNS?? EXACTLY… NOTHING!!

    HERE’S WHITNEY SINGING IWALY AT DIVAS’99. AND THIS ISNT EVEN IN HER PRIME.

    Sam,

    What video are you watching? This was booty-juice…

  6. Dilla April 8, 2010

    He sounds good, but the fact is Whitney owns that song vocally weather she could sing it today or not , like M.J own thriller. Whitney put her signature on that song and no one could top her version of it period.

  7. TRUTH April 8, 2010

    HEY TRENT, WHAT HAPPENED TO HAS BEEN MOORIAH? NOTICE NO ONE IN OTHER COUNTRIES COPY HER SONGS FOR SINGING CONTESTS, HAHA. SHE’S DONE. EPIC FLOP!! PROOF TOMMY MATOLA “BOUGHT” THE MAJORITY OF ALL HER NUMBER #1’S.

    NEXT.

  8. Dilla April 8, 2010

    Come on everybody, lets fight over who could sing this song better until this thread reaches 100 comments! FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

  9. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    so what if a fat ugly s*** haired kid can sing !!! your so redundant trent…only posting what you think is “cool” and “hip” your a terrible asset to this site you can’t even articulate what you are trying to say correctly, go back to school little girl !!!!!!!!!….

    AND im sick to the back teeth of of this mentality OF praising FAT/UGLY people for being able to do something as simple as singing…SO WHATT !!! WE DON’T CARE !!!
    SUSAN BOYLE IS A FAT MENTALLY UNSTAB:E TRAMP WITH AN AVERAGE VOICE AND SO IS THIS RICE NOODLE KID !!!

    so what if this fat kid can listen to a couple of songs and give a so, so karaoke version ? the combination of his terrible accent/ trying to mimic whitney/ choppy vocals ruins the song throughout, I would also like to recommend that this kid gets himself a yearly gym membership and does at least an hour a day……

    BTW would this site actually have anything to post without Rihanna….its only thursday and theres already been about 11 rihanna posts………….just throwin that out there guys….. 😉

  10. miamike April 8, 2010

    LMMFAO!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha that was funny!

  11. ImYourStar702 April 8, 2010

    Sam should sack Trent…

  12. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut April 8, 2010

    I’ve got my money on the fat asian Susan Boyle, period. Crackney Houston couldn’t touch her own s*** with a ten foot pole these days, and you in-denial ass stans better recognize this s*** when you see it. People still making excuses for her tired, dusty deteriorated ass voice left and right, acting like she still got it. B****** please!

  13. DizzyGuy1985 April 8, 2010

    This guy sounds horrible. I thought he was going to tear this song up. Are you serious thatgrapejuice? It sounds like he is taking a dumb and is really constipated.

    Why do people think that if someone closes their eyes while they are singing they are putting feeling into it or can sing. That has nothing to do with it.

    Whitney sounded good in her time, but she can’t sing this now…and niether can he.

  14. Internet God April 8, 2010

    @ImYourStar702

    Co-sign!! Trent’s internet dial-up internet account NO LONGER EXISTS!!!

    Sucks for Trent. 😀

  15. nickii April 8, 2010

    you’ve got to be kidding if you think that he’s singing this song better than Whitney!!!
    nobody can top Whitney version in her prime, and i will take Whitney latest version (last day of her Australian tour) over this! I wasn’t able to make through his whole performance because they was something about his voice and the way he was handling the mic that kept nagging me!
    So epic fail Trent!!

  16. Chica April 8, 2010

    Truth, you obvioulsy hate Mariah but there is no need to lie. People are always covering Mariah’s songs on talent shows all across the world. I suggest you get onto youtube and look up KenLee!!!! That was a 2008/2009 smash on the internet lol even my dad was talking about it.

  17. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    LOl lets start a sack trent facebook group….sorry trent but your just plain old shite….absolutely rubbish blogger……..im assuming your one of sams friends or family which is why you were given the job…but really, your just not working well for me…….and obviously many others too !!!!

  18. Lashae April 8, 2010

    If Trent is a Mariah fan then he has no room to talk because she sounds like s*** these days and I highly doubt she can sing her classic ballads like she used to.

    Anyway this guy can SANG!! I hope he has a huge Susan Boyle-esque debut. It’s about time that people focus on talent, so we can stop having so many “pretty” “artists” who sound horrid.

  19. BRANDON (Toronto) April 8, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL

    Do you have a life? How old are you? Seriously, shut the f*** up….untill you have your on blog. Dumb ass!

    ANNOYING!

  20. BRANDON (Toronto) April 8, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL

    Please explain to me what RICE NOODLE KID means? You RACIST! Get off this site!
    What nationality are you?

  21. stan April 8, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL

    glad to see racism is alive and well. grow up, kid.

  22. KP April 8, 2010

    @ Lashae & Truth

    You can leave Mariah out of this! Mariah has nothing to do with Whitney!
    She still can sing better than anyone and above all she is healthy!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X2x879LcKY

    Are you mad haters?

    2009=Whitney’s comeback 2010=The crack pipe’s comeback!

  23. TheMan April 8, 2010

    i think he did a good job and obviously whitney is a huge influence

  24. Tami April 8, 2010

    Let be honest this man is not original…he didn’t make the song his he tried to mimic all the notes on the CD. Don’t try to be a copy cat when doing a rendition of a popular song try to add some of you in it

  25. john April 8, 2010

    Why did Mariah get dragged into this? I don’t get it, the fact of the matter is Whitney hasn’t been able to sing the song since 99′ no one can argue differently…. I love her as much as the next but lets face it people give her too much of an easy ride sometime

  26. Lashae April 8, 2010

    @KP i’ll bring whoever I want into this.
    AND FYI Sam is the one who brought Mariah into it.

  27. Rob April 8, 2010

    Of course he can sing it better than that crackead! Sh ecan’t sing anymore her throat is broke like the glass pipes she uses!

  28. PAPARAZZI 4423 April 8, 2010

    HE DID A MUCH BETTER JOB THEN BLOW JOB BETTY SHE HAS TO SWEAT LIKE CRAZY TO EVEN FINISH AND STILL SOUNDS AWFUL WHITNEY IS DONE HER TOUR HAD FANS WALKING OUT WANTING THEIR MONEY BACK MARIAH ENDED WHITNEYS CAREER AND THESE DUMB ASSES WHO BELIEVE MARIAH NUMBER ONES WERE PAID FOR BY TOMMY EXPLAIN THE NUMBER ONES AFTER HIM OH THATS RIGHT MARIAH HAS MORE NUMBER ONE AFTER TOMMY THAN WHITNEYS WHOLE CAREER MARIAH VOICE ISN’T THE SAME AS THE 90’S BUT SHE SHITING ON BLOW JOB BETTY

  29. Last Boy on Earth April 8, 2010

    are you kidding? If you want to show us someone that is better then Whitney singing her songs, search Charice Pempengco, this boy is nothing special

  30. Last Boy on Earth April 8, 2010

    and of course Mariah has a longer range and more diversity in her voice then Whitney, someone that says the contrary doesnt understand nothing about voice skills

  31. PAPARAZZI 4423 April 8, 2010

    PEOPLE PLEASE DON’T COMPARE WHITNEY TO MARIAH BECAUSE SHE WILL BE SHAME BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIMES MOST NUMBER ONES LETS STOP USING TIME FRAMES PEOPLE

  32. PAPARAZZI 4423 April 8, 2010

    LAST GIRL BOY ON EARTH RIHANNA FANS ARE FUNNY

  33. TheMan April 8, 2010

    how did mariah end whitney’s career when Whitney’s last cd tripled the sales of Mariah’s and her tour is about to do the same? not to mention whitney is playing in front of 10,000 fans and Mariah couldn’t even sellout a 3000 seat venue? and mimi might even get dropped from her label and they shelved her new cd?

  34. Jackdanielsplease! April 8, 2010

    This kid is compared to Susan Boyle right ,My question is is this a girl or boy ?(no offense to anybody but seriously !)

  35. sss April 8, 2010

    Susan Boyle? LMAO!!!!

    This kid has no POWER he has great falsetto notes but those notes at the big climax were so weak. But let’s not even talk about power. He has no SOUL.

  36. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    im mixed race black/italian so you can all shut the f*** up with this racism bollocks and get over yourselfs

  37. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    RICE NOODLE, RIDE NOODLE, RICE NOODLE !!! 😉

  38. LMAO April 8, 2010

    Why bring Mariah into this discussion? LOL

    Mariah wish she could ever sing like Whitney at her prime. Mariah at her prime can’t even sing like Whitney Houston in 1999. Mariah may have more range but a great voice isn’t just about range. Stop using the most #1 singles that has got nothing to do with her artistic talent.

    Don’t tell me Touch My Body which was #1 single was a better song than CLASSIC songs like ‘I’m Every Woman” or “I Have Nothing” or “Run To You”, none of which went to #1.

    Don’t even tell me how Mariah is a better singer than Whitney when Mariah lipsynchs 90% of the time.

    Don’t even tell me who is more successful now. Whitney is grossing $60 million in her world tour and filling stadiums of 10,000 people when Mariah can’t even fill a 3,000 seat venue.

    Don’t even mention album sales. Mariah’s album hasn’t even reached platinum Whitney’s I Look To You is double platinum.

    Whitney when her voice is off still insists to sing live, she’s a fighter and a true live vocalist, unlike some other singer who just presses the “LIPSYNCH” button.

    Mariah WISH she ever had a powerful voice like Whitney.

  39. Jim April 8, 2010

    You gotta be kidding me. This boy sings better than Whitney??? LMAO! Time to wake up Trent! Have you even heard the original version?

  40. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    “LMAO” you saying that Mariah careys No.1’s meaning nothing is probably one of the most redundant comments i’ve ever heard………LOL……No.1 singles are what music artists aspire too…………your havin yourself LOL !!!!!

    MUG !!!!

    at the end of the day Mariah can sing Whitney and RICE NOODLE KID outta the water if she wants too……………..end off !

  41. WHITNEY HOUSTON April 8, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL

    Why would you continue your foolishness by saying Rice Noodle 3x?

    Have some respect for people who might be offended you….

    N**** WOP! N**** WOP! N**** WOP!

  42. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    N**** WOOP, N**** N**** WOOP WOOP ! HELLL YEEEEAH

  43. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    well done @ changing your name Brandon Toronto Lol !!! NOT SLIGH
    racism is part of scoiety get over it……

  44. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    this RICE NOODLE SUCK ASS ! he should go stuff his face with prawn crackers…fat C***!

  45. AGENT_MIMI April 8, 2010

    WHITNEY IS A MESS. HER FANS LEAVE HER SHOWS IN DIGUST. THE B**** SOUNDS LIKE A F*** AIR CONDITIONER. WHITNEY AND SINGING SHOULDN’T EVEN BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME SENTENCE NOW-A-DAYS. STOP LIVING IN THE PAST. MARIAH MAY NOT SOUND LIKE SHE SOUNDED IN 1990 BUT SHE SURE AS HELL SOUNDS BETTER THAN WHITNEY AS OF TODAY. MARIAH IS MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN WHITNEY, DEAL WITH IT. YOU B****** CAN COMMENT TILL YOUR FINGERS FALL OFF AND THAT FACT STILL WILL REMAIN. WHITNEY IS OVER AND SHE HAS HER DAMN SELF TO BLAME FOR IT.

  46. BRANDON (TORONTO) April 8, 2010

    Uhm, for the record….that other rasist comment is not from me.

    I think you both need to grow up. Good luck trying. to make the world a better place.

  47. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    i can see your e-mail address, i now it’s you so hush it !

  48. Jaz April 8, 2010

    Haha at the many Lambtards tryna make something out of nothing…sorry when was the last time Mimi sang live?…or in tune for that matter? Don’t act like she doesn’t sound like s*** because she pitifully does…which is why she cowardly lipsynchs at her concerts in which she can’t fill a 3000 seater…ouch!!!…LOL @ the Mim ended Whitney’s career part? …sorry Whitney has outsold Mimis recent album by another 2 million ….outdid tour sales. with HUGE venues 20,000 seater SOLD-OUT!!!!..and has been awarded entertainer / international star of the year award since her comeback album…whereas Mimi only won a people’s choice award LMFAO …that’s as serious as the playschool awards she won for her dreadful acting on Precious. Whitney will sing and continue to sing Mariah under the table BECAUSE SHE CAN…Power, clarity, fluidity has all been a working progress for this TRUE magnificent talent…When Mim starts singing live which is probably once every blue moon then you haters can talk your ish….Whitney is still rockin it and has alot of fans backing her up…Get it Whit…still the baddest in the game!!!

  49. Boricua April 8, 2010

    He wasn’t all that.. Wassup with dude’s trying to sing songs made famous by females note for note??

    I haven’t heard that song sung without a million gasps, croaks and horrible phrasing for a while though…

    It was somewhat refreshing…

  50. DANBOFFICIAL April 8, 2010

    im sick of these RICE NOODLES singing like there black……be themslfes…sheep !

  51. Nik April 8, 2010

    Here’s the thing with Whitney and Mariah… First of all album sales hasn’t been updated on wikipedia in quite some time so they have Whitney at 170 million albums sold, but they haven’t included numbers from her last 3 albums which would put her at 190 million. Now Mariah has about 200 million, I believe. Yes, she has sold more than Mama Whitney. But here’s the kicker…Mariah had put out almost double the amount of albums than Whitney has still Whitney is almost with her in album sales!!!! If Whitney had that many albums out she would be well over 200 million sold…so in all and all the album sales comparison in off. Whitney has almost out sold Mimi with less albums LOL

  52. Robert April 9, 2010

    Whitney’s stans are on crack too! Since when did whitney’s comeback comparable to TEOM level?

    1st – You tried to compared sales of ILTY to MOAIA. Memoirs is Mariah’s lowest selling whereas ILTY is whitney’s supposed to be comeback after 7 years only reached platinum.

    2nd – Whitney fans were leaving her concert because of her horrible voice. (at least that didnt happened to Mariah)

    3rd. TEOM with an 8 time grammy noms and 3 wins. ILTY – zero!

    4th. WBT is the song of the decade. Did whitney even crack the top 100? not sure

    5th. TEOM sold 5.8 M. ILTY is 1M. EMC2 actually sold more.

    in terms of CRITICAL and COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, Mariah is way way ahead in the comeback game!

  53. Meriameoirh Carey April 9, 2010

    1st Whitney’s lowest selling album (Just Whitney) still outsold Mariah’s current album.

    2nd 30 fans left Whitney’s concert in Australia but 10,000 people who stayed, danced, laughed and sang with Whitney. Meanwhile Mariah can’t even fill 3000-seat venues.

    3rd Whitney was snubbed by the Grammys who now favour Beyonce. They’re now giving out awards to Beyonce like free gifts. Do you honestly think SIX Grammy awards for Beyonce’s was bigger than Mariah’s TEOM which only got 3 Grammys? The Grammys are no longer credible nowadays.

    4th WBT is the song of decade? IWALY is one of the songs of the CENTURY. I love WBT but after WBT all we have are crappy songs like Obsessed and Touch My Body.

    5th You’re delusional if you try to compare album sales in 2005 with 2010. The entire music industry if declining in terms of album sales. Just look at Mimi’s Memoirs which hasn’t even reached platinum.

    And I’ll add #6
    6th Mariah lipsynchs. Whitney sings live.

  54. Trent you’re delusionalllll!!! April 9, 2010

    Oh please. Charice? At least Mariah and Whitney are on a simlar “legendary” level so it’s fair people compare their voices. Charice is just another soul less imitator.

    Trent you’re truly delusional. Do you honestly think that this Asian kid sings better than Whitney? LMAO!!!! What made Whitney’s rendition so powerful is the soul she instilled in that song. These Asian singers may have big voices but they are nothing but IMITATORS.

  55. Trent you’re delusionalllll!!! April 9, 2010

    F*** CHARICE she got nothing on Whitney, Mariah, Celine or anyone she tries to imitate.

  56. RiRIcrazystan April 9, 2010

    Rihanna is the best singer in the world!! Better than Whitney Houstan and Jennifer Hudson! WHO MAD??

  57. Tru Voice April 9, 2010

    Whitney is better than any female artist or male artist for that matter. She commands respect for being a survivor and STILL being able to sing no matter what she went through personally.

  58. Music Lover April 9, 2010

    I wouldn’t hate on Charice! She has motherfucking David Foster and Oprah backing her up! And who fucken cares if she immitates, how many people can mimic better than her!!! Don’t hate!!! It’s not a good look. As much as I love Mariah and Whitney, you’re a fucken IDIOT if you think they sing as well as they used to. I’d love for them to successfully “imitate” their old voices.
