I sometimes think any western singing star out of fashion in their homeland can be sure of a rapturous reception in the middle kingdom. Ms. Dion is perhaps one of the best loved of western stars in China, where Titanic is the one western film that everyone knows, and that song can be found at any KTV you care to visit.

Anyway enjoy this clip of her performing a Chinese clasic here.

oh, can't wait to check this out. Thanks tal. I already have an album of hers in French which is fabo, and of course she sings in English as well. So impressed with her ! Really curious to hear how her mandarin is.

哈哈哈, I know just what you mean, but I'm reminded of a famous quotation from Dr. Johnson about a dog walking on its hind legs. To wit, not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all. Anyway, look at the dancing girls dude.
