So I have a history here of starting threads about Asian singers I like, but in this case I’ve come across a singer who I think is truly phenomenal: G.E.M.

The media gave G.E.M nicknames such as “巨肺少女”[16] and “巨肺小天后” meaning “Girl with Giant Lungs” and “the Young Empress of Heaven with Giant Lungs” respectively because of her B♭3-E6 vocal range, and she had performed songs by Whitney Houston in a number of occasions.

I’m a lifelong musician, but I’m at the point where I’m more interested in discovering new music than in playing music. One thing that really grabs my attention is a great voice. And I’ve been very happy to discover Hong Kong/Chinese singer G.E.M. on YouTube, because I think she’s incredibly good.

“Someday I’ll Fly” - C’mon, this is some great singing
Don’t know the English title, but this is beautiful:
“Lucky”, a duet with Jason Mraz
The Lady Gaga-ish “What Have You Done” Rawk!
And here she is at 18 years old, doing Whitney Houston, live:
