    There was a thread with a black guy singing in Cantonese as well. I've noticed that Caucasians always have a funny accent when they speak Cantonese.

    It just shows that the rest of the world is finally becoming sino-fied. This is a true measure of a culture's advancement, when other peoples of the world take up and imitate your musical imperatives. After years of rock, jazz, and hip hop flooding the east, I'm glad to see the current flow back the other way for a change. -cool

    Sorta reminds me of this old thread: Non Asians Who Speak Chinese better than most of Us

    pretty good :)
    but i reckon it's a bit overrated. I mean there are heaps of asian people that can sing english songs, shouldn't it be less applauded just because they can sing in our language? :S

    I find it pretty cool when people of other ethnicity are interested in our culture. I'm all for it.
