Lin Yu-chun (); born 9 March 1986 in Taipei) is a Taiwanese singer, who gained fame by appearing on a Taiwanese talent show, ''One Million Star'' (超級星光大道), singing "I Will Always Love You" (written and originally sung by Dolly Parton) in the style of Whitney Houston's cover version. Lin is well known for his mezzo-soprano-like, and sometimes, contralto-like countertenor singing voice, although he has an adult speaking voice. According to many sources, Lin's voice is usually described as a mixture of Whitney Houston and Susan Boyle, with a dash of Cher. When Lin sings in his normal masculine voice rather than in a falsetto range, his voice actually somewhat sounds like Jamie Walters, or even possibly like Jackson Browne. In 2013, he competed in the second season of ''The Voice of China''. ==Biography== Lin was voted off the show, but after a video of Lin singing the song made it onto YouTube, Lin became an internet celebrity, receiving more than 10,000,000 views〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lin Yu Chun Sings Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' )〕 of his performance. Many news sources dubbed Lin "Taiwan's Susan Boyle".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lin Yu Chun Dubbed 'Taiwan's Susan Boyle' After Singing Whitney Houston – Billboard Underground )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lin Yu Chun is Taiwanese 'American Idol's' answer to Susan Boyle )〕〔 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Taiwanese Susan Boyle?
