LOL~ i am even more bored ^^ Here is another girl, now at the age 28 came out on May 17 after 6 years of hiatus … with her 5th album titled ‘Windows of my Soul’

What is she having to say for her comeback?

“I had problems with my former agency. I spent four or five years crying, drinking and playing,” she said. “Oh, and since I did some exercise to lose weight and fixed my teeth with braces, I guess you could say I invested some time for beauty, too.” Feeling uncertain about her future, she sent her resume to a foreign advertising agency. She didn’t get the job — the company wasn’t impressed by the title ‘Singer Yangpa.’ “I could have succeeded if I used the people I know in broadcasting and the music industry. If I got in there, I’d be advertising fast-food stores or government projects.”

Making her debut in 1997 as a high school singer, Yangpa quickly rose to popularity. “I think people found it strange that a little girl was singing pop ballads,” she said. She was even referred to as a pop idol. “I hated being called a pop idol at the time, but now I sometimes think I was very happy then. It’s a great gift when a singer earns unconditional love from her fans. I don’t think my voice is technically superior, but I can move people’s hearts.” On the Internet, netizens react to even the briefest updates of Yangpa’s life. “I think the long wait of six years has endeared me even further to my fans,” she said.
