I see Su’s efforts and hardworking in this contest, she improved from 1 singing style/tone to more varieties, and challenged herself in unfamiliar areas.
As for personalty, many artists were not born as outgoing person, they get trained to become better. And still some singers keep their introvert personalty, but as long as they can touch people’s heart, they are attractive.
At the age of 17, I am surprised about her ability to bear the long term pressure during the contest.

i think u probably misunderstand what Su said about the 2nd song. What she meant was when she sang the 2nd song she didn’t want to be influenced by the 1st song’s low score, so she freed herself in the 2nd song, which made herself out of control. She tried hard, but just b/c of lack of experience and control, she didn’t do well on the 2nd song, which is also a very challenge songs picked by judges.
[YT] @jykstock Lin’s errors in pronunciation are common for Taiwan learners of English. I am an American and have been teaching English in Taiwan for 15 years, so I am familiar with these mistakes. In everyday conversation these mistakes are unimportant. For a rising star like Lin, who has international appeal, these mistakes must be corrected. I am confident he can improve his pronunciation, but first he must become aware of the mistakes. I don’t think anyone is helping him in this area.
[YT] I must say they’ve assigned 張士堂 with a very difficult song. Not many singers are suited for R&B and the judges still gave him that song knowing it might end up in a disaster…
[YT] Remember Su, it’s not only good voice that makes you a star, it also takes personality, effort, hardwork, and luck, but it seems you don’t have the first three mentioned, you’re not the only one who has good voice!
[YT] I don’t like Su’s personality for sure, she couldn’t bear the pressure and what it takes to be a star, she rarely smiles and even if she does, you can see the bitterness, althou she’s not the underdog but she just couldn’t bear with it.
The most dissapointment is that she let go the second performance for the reason that she got the lowest score in the first one therefore she LET IT GO instead of keep trying to do the best, what a loser!
[YT] the trio can make it this far because it’s power of THREE not one like other contestants, which I think it’s unfair to include a trio while the others are solo, and now the Judges are SMART enuf to implement some experiments for them and discovered that their solo skills suck big time!
[YT] this girl arr, wants to be like Gary, and Gary sings with 101% emotion, and this girl just sang it so flat, the only good part was the ending, but it’s all too late!
[YT] @MrJimmyJimmy2010
I Know some American English is not same English. maybe that is your problem, right?
ex: Apple, I know someone say “e”pple, someone say “a”pple. which is right?
[YT] @BabyPunyTiny Sorry, but Lin’s pronunciation isn’t perfect. When he sings “I believe that the heart does go on” his ‘the’ sounds like ‘duh’, and he fails to give enough stress to the ‘d’ sound in the word ‘does’. I only mention this because I am a fan and think he’s a brilliant artist. But, this is correctable with a language coach.
[YT] she can really do better…. she just didnt do her best here in xing guang… in other competition, u can see how well she can sing… lots of pressure in this competition, i think this will help her grow too. although #7 is not bad.. but i hope to listen to her more.
[YT] Arrrrr… this big boi NEEDS a new hair cut! He looks terrible with this hair style. It makes him look like a nerb.. and what’s worst is that he’s got this high-pitch voice that is more “scary” than “enjoyable” to listen to.

[YT] everytime when I see 黄郁善, I want to fuck her up man, this is a really nice song, the way she sing, just 鬼! she should got kick out of long time!

[YT] I like want to cry! I feel him, all the people inside I think he the best , maybe not the best of the best, but I love him ^-^
[YT] @jibikao Exactly, Judges want to see how well can the contestants do when they’re out of their comfort zone. It’s hard, but it’s a must for them to improve.
[YT] Seriously, i agree with you jibikao. Top 6 is what I expected minus huang yu shan. I guess i could do w/o 3 shuai also but yu shan needs to go ASAP
[YT] I like 郁善’s singing! Her voice is great. She is fully of courage and creativity! She just doesn’t bother to sing it that normally! Whatever this is a competition, but it’s also a game. Just do it the way you like, as long as you enjoy it. I can feel that she is confident, and she enjoys every moment, no matter what the judges say. I like her voice, and I like her!
[YT] @jibikao
Yes, Fang Wen San’s lyrics are brilliant but so very difficult to memorize. lols @ Hu Xia saying he’s not that enthralled with the lyrics, I wouldn’t be either.
[YT] never have i thought that xiao pang voice so good…. this song seems to be written for terry lin… of coz.. tang tang sounds great too… good performance!
[YT] don’t like her way of singing, comes across to be as arrogance and not confidence. and also can tell she’s trying too hard to please everyone and ends up spoiling the original song…
[YT] Na Ying being one of my most beloved singers really made the song very distinctive, but I think Dudu did pretty well. Though I think Xiao Pang was a overboard in his evaluation, I do think Dudu could have picked a more fitting song to bring out her tone and style.
[YT] I like Su’s voice, but there seems to be too many androgynous newcomers in the last several years, in various singing competitions, that I’m finding it hard to differentiate between all of them…Li Yu Chun, Jade Liu, Zhang Yun Jing, and now Su Zi Yu. Perhaps I need bigger personalities like Ella in order to bypass retain attention.
[YT] Su Zi Yu is one of my faves aside from Hu Xia. She has such a unique voice and will definitely do well in the music industry! Pls get in top 6 PLS!!!!
[YT] the judges judge the jay chow songs as though it is super hard and the contestants are passing only but faye wong’s songs are just as hard, and su cannot pass…..
[YT] @jibikao
I think so too. She’s not as personable as some other contestants, but she’s bold in her music selections, diverse in her styles, and there is evident effort to progress/step out of the box. I give her kudos for that.
She’s not going to be easily accepted in main stream music, but she adds new viewpoints – which I like.
[YT] The Top 6 is pretty much close to what I imagined. The only one that kinda surprises me is Huang. I like her too but you either like her or hate her. Hey, at least she stands out!
[YT] @angie521 yeah.. I am surprised they say she may have hurt her vocal chord. Her voice sounds good the past few weeks. I just know the song she picked is pretty high. She may have stress her vocal chord too much.
[YT] I can tell the echo in the mic is much louder… but he did well. He is not my cup of tea but it’s his dream and he is Taiwanese. I support him in USA! Go fattie!
[YT] Wow.. I haven’t really paid attention to Jay’s song. The 2nd song’s lyric is so hard!!! I can barely understand the first few lines but the words sound beautiful. It’s like poetry. I am never a big fan of Jay but his style really makes Chinese culture sounds good!
[YT] Man, the judges know how to give songs that don’t suit them. So far, none of them do better than the first song choice. I guess this is a challenge after all. Damn.. I want her to be in top 6.
[YT] I thought Brian put a lot of emotion in this song. I can feel he put a lot of power. Yes, he just needs to let it go on the stage. 18pt is decent.
[YT] Oh damn, they are already advertising for Season 7! I am surprised she has a lot of fans. I thought people won’t like her because she is too quiet. She and Dudu are my most favorites!
She really has a good voice but I am not so sure about her performance in this song because we are used to hearing Jam’s high notes. Her style is more mild and I think it’s because of wrong song choice.
[YT] You know traveling from China to enter the contest is really hard. It is a lot of traveling and can really tire people out. I hope some record companies in China can sign them. I don’t think they’ll release album in Taiwan.
Wow, the guy in the middle sings very well. They’ve improved their solo parts! Good job!
[YT] I think he did really well too. He got that feeling. His high notes are touching. I like it how Peach would give her own opinion. I am surprised he only got 10 votes so far?
[YT] I think she did really well. Not many people can handle this kind of Faye Wong song live. Most people either yell too much or not skillful enough. I think she did well. 20pt very deserving!
