鄧麗君Teresa Teng - Airport (Best newcomer award 1974, Japan.)

Teresa presents her award-winning song on Japanese TV for best newcomer in 1974. This is the song that gave her the breakthrough into the Japanese entertainment scene. She was already a star in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia,etc., in fact any land and every country where a Chinese population exists. The brave move to Japan paved the way for her to become an International Superstar. Unforgettable song, unforgettable singer! She will always live on in our hearts!

At 21, she blew a lot of estblished singers away.

@pdgb101548

Yes, she was not just talented. She really worked hard, training, practicing, attending classes, etc, to improve herself. She didn't win any award by chance.

She is one of the best and the most magnificent Asian female vocalists whom I have been ever seen in my generation. To me , she is and always will be the greatest singer of all time. Every time I listen to her song, I miss my country.

Today's Asian pop singers don't come close to Teresa Teng. There's never been another singer like her since she passed away. She was an extremely rare talent, and a great loss to the world of popular music.
