[...] sales are only some of the things that characterize her. While it is always hard for us non-fans to determine what makes her such an icon, it is not hard to discern what makes her fans so attractive. This often overlooked group is [...]

I like her voice and her image… her talents may still be growing, but she’s anything but a bore, thus perfect for the ever-changing, ever-controversial music and entertainment industry.

I daresay she’ll be here for a long time…

There are other places where girls can dress like that in confidence too.

But well, my opinion still stands on her. I don’t find her appealing, whether by dress or by singing. Sure she can compose, but so can others? Idk.

And oh, I dare say, her stylist is a much better stylist than the one styling Amber of f(x) atm, lol.

Here’s a new blog run by English-speaking Li Yuchun fans. If anyone wants to try and figure out what they see that we don’t:

@jtlangel

Maybe she dresses like a “lesbo” because she wants to.

I’m rather proud that China is a place where a girl can dress that with confidence. Where people can be different, and inspire.

The statements circulating about tomboys makes me a bit skeptical that the society outside China is really as liberal as it says it is.

well written, great job!
I was never a fan of Chris because of the way she looked, but truthfully, I don’t speak Chinese so when I listen to Chinese music I listen to the voice not the lyrics because I won’t understand it. Chris had never impressed me much with her singing skills but after reading this article I think it is worthwhile so listen to her album. Thanks!

why does she dress like a dyke? She can’t pull off that tomboy look without looking lesbo. *shakes head*. Someone needs to get a new stylist for her.

I don’t really know how to reply.

I had an “intention” when I first started writing this, to justify her existence in Cpop, and the merit of Cpop in general. Then all purpose disintegrated as this evolved by itself into a rather personal self-reflection and my audience narrowed considerably. Most people, if I am lucky, will take out of this that she did write many of her own songs, nothing more and that’s fine.

The result of my own introspection was disappointment that I lacked that characteristic of being able to be inspired by her. I am cynical too, very cynical, and rather judgmental. I long to discard that aspect of myself; seeing the good in everyone is far harder than seeing their faults.

@ idarklight – I suppose that’s true… I’m not much of a fan, either; I just like the substance of some of her songs and what she stands for, so I have no idea what they caught onto. Her story is inspirational not as much to her fans, but to onlookers – a seemingly average person making it big and fulfilling her dreams.

It’s that *something* that really makes me feel that bittersweetness, along with the determination – that *something* that isn’t material and isn’t something visible. Is it luck? Is it personality? Or is it that determination itself? Or something entirely different? Regardless, it’s something I don’t *see* myself… and because it’s not readily apparent, I can’t help but be a bit put out by it.

What I can identify is a sense of direction and determination – and since that’s as close as I can get, and knowing she couldn’t have made it without… When it comes down to it, her story makes me feel like the rest of us lack something more basic than most artists’ talents.

That said, don’t think I’m not happy for it, LOL.

And yes, they are; I don’t think it’s just a rumor, either, because Zhou Mi already confirmed that recording is done and that they’re headed back to China…
