chinese girl sings Pakistani song (jazba-e-junoon)

Interesting.

Nice to see cross-cultural exchanges between diverse people.

Found a similar video of a Chinese guy singing Hindi/Urdu song --


Can someone tell me what the Chinese judges say at the end?

Pakistani best female singer "Hadiqa Kiyani" sings Chinese song.

...

Clearly there is quite a difference in rendition between the girl at the top and this Ms. Kiyani since the latter is obviously a pro ...

The song she sang was popularized by a PRC heavyweight by the name of 韦唯 ("WeiWei" in Pinyin) around 1989. It's called 爱的奉献 (roughly for "Dedication of love").

I only very vaguely recall the tune since I was still in China around the time when it came out. The actual song may have been written in the 60s ... and it may have re-garnered popularity at some of the relief concerts over the last two years.

You can see the original performance from here.

:cheers:

This is from a Taiwanese TV show. Judging by the captions, it's clearly modelled after some sort of the "Idol" theme ..

There was a single judge who spoke at the end. He essentially said that just by sheer "exotic-ness", such a performance by the idol would be favoured. But the idol missed some "keys" ...

In the end the idol cleared the "bar" with his score, by which I take to mean he advanced to the next level.

Thanks. :tup:

Is Mandarin very similar to Taiwanese language?

No problem.

Mandarin is extremely different from the Taiwanese dialect - probably as different as Mandarin is from Cantonese or from the dialect of Shanghai.

Taiwanese dialect/language is similar to one of the Fujianese dialects ... I can't even tell you which one (possibly the dialect of Xiamen). Anyways, any Taiwanese can probably explain better.

Yes, I am like the obstinate Tamil/Marathi who only cares about my dialect ... everybody else's be d@mned! :D

Anyways, Mandarin and English are all you need IMO ...

P.S., forgot to add: Mandarin literacy in Taiwan is surprisingly good (better than the mainland on a whole). The TV show above was mostly conducted in Mandarin - otherwise I wouldn't have a clue ...

:cheers:
