Not since Susan Boyle opened her mouth and surprised a global audience with her dulcet tones has there been such a talent as Lin Yu Chun, a contestant on a Taiwanese talent show called 'Super Star Avenue,' which is much like 'American Idol'. Chun destroys all preconceived notions with a powerhouse delivery of Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' that's sure to give you chills. And with Whitney's current illness, there's certainly an opening in the music world for a successor to the ballad throne. Watch his audition and forward to the 1:10 mark (via VideoGum):

No, he's not better than Whitney Houston, but, wow, is he good! I wish they would tell us how old he is.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
There are many people easily fooled. How do we know he is a BOY?!?! (or male)
they said he was in his teens
News reports said he is 23, thus his voice won't be changing.
Heard he is 23.
the new report tonight said he was 12
I heard him sing on yesterday's CBS news. They said something to the effect: Don't worry about his voice changing in a year...he is 24 years old.
He certainly was remarkable - no matter how old he is.
he is 23 years old only.
he's 23 or 24 something =)
Oh my...he is great, gives me goose bumps. I hope he keeps on singing.
omg!!! that was awesome!!! that is not an easy song to sing and he pulled it off excellently...good for you! keep it up!

The fact that this is a BOY that sings this awesome & probably doesn't speak any English but what he sings puts him head and shoulders above Whitney. I Lost all respect for her when she decided partying and drugs were more important than what God had blessed her with.
dude.... someone with functioning male reproductive organs, just bashed that song... If he knows any other English, I would be shocked. This world is full of surprises. High five to his parents.
I agree erin, he is awsome.
LOL he is great!! Dont know any other MAN that can do that. He hit his pitch perfect. Someone needs to sign him and make him famous like he deserves. We will be seeing more of him Im sure in the United States soon.
This young man is good but not better than Whitney. He seemed to sing falsetto and found vocal acrobatics easier than keeping his pitch. With a little more vocal training he should reach dizzy heights.

I agree with you. While this kids was absolutely amazing and hit the notes, etc., you could tell that Whitney's pipes are stronger. But when you go back and realize the kid is (a) young, and (b) a male -- he is phenominal, nonetheless.
Am I the only one that can hear the accents?!?! Sounds like Whitney? H-no. Maybe in an Asian-Karaoke kinda way.
WOW AND OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! i watched it and me and my mom closed our eyes and he sounded just like the young Whitney it was creepy i got goosebumps lol! it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
