Don't Cry For Me Argentina (阿根廷別為我哭泣) - by Yuquan Chen (陈玉泉)

Don't Cry For Me Argentina (阿根廷别为我哭泣) - My first English song posting. This wildly popular broadway musical may not be suitable for my vocal style, however I like this song so much I can't help but try. Your candid comment will be appreciated.

I like listening to your beautiful voice. You have different timbre than Jane Zhang in my opinion it is OK to have your own natural style. Keep going and singing, you have a listener who love your voice.

@embun1945 Thank you so much for your kindness. I've been sharpening my skills this year, and have gone up to a whole new level. If this song proved to be challenging, I may try again in the future; if not, then I'll pass. I may have new live recordings (if usable) soon, welcome to come by and listen to them :)

Hello Y, Happy New Year.

Very nice, I love this song and you sing it so well.

Very sweet picture of you too.

@MrJamie1957 Hi Jamie, nice to hear from you from time to time. Sorry for the late reply, seems so much happenings around the holiday season (lots of distractions, small and big). Thank you for your compliment.

歌聲清晰婉約也帶磁性和穿透力，很有特色。有專輯可收藏嗎？

Bravo! Refreshing and resonating voice! Highly recommended! Two thumbs up!

@jcguu Thank you very much for the compliment, though there are a lot for me to improve on this particular song. Glad you liked it. Sorry, I don't have any albums:(

《别为我哭泣，阿根廷》 也许让你们感到奇怪， 我要把心里话说出来， 我虽历经沧桑 仍需要你们的爱， 会不会相信眼前的我—— 你们相识的女孩， 她虽然穿戴好气派， 可生活却杂乱无奈。 我不得不把生活重新安排， 不愿一生贫困不痛快， 老是躲避着阳光， 呆呆望着窗外， 我选择自由， 上下奔波，闯荡新的舞台， 却依旧是一片空白。 我从未有太多期待， 别为我哭泣，阿根廷啊， 我从没有和你分开， 狂乱的岁月， 动荡的年代， 我恪守承诺， 别对我见外， 要说到荣华富贵的诱惑， 我从未刻意去收获， 也许在别人看来， 正是我所求索。 名利是虚幻， 从中得不到 解答问题的良策， 这答案始终就在于， 我爱你们，你们也爱我， 别为我哭泣，阿根廷啊。 别为我哭泣，阿根廷啊， 我从没有和你分开， 狂乱的岁月， 动荡的年代， 我恪守承诺， 别对我见外， 是否说太多？ 凡我能想到的都已对你们说， 但求你们望着我， 并理解我的话，句句出自心窝… 别为我哭泣，阿根廷啊。

@danL1011 Thanks for the nit picking. I am aware of these kind of pronunciations from Chinese, I was one of them, later realized it and have improved in other songs

One little suggestion if I may re: singing in English. When I listen carefully, your Chinese accent does manifest itself on occasion. Although I would have to say it is far less noticeable than Jane Zhang's accent.

The consonant sounds that do not appear in Chinese you seem to have mastered fairly well. Pay special attention to vowels and their relative duration in words. Also the actual sound of the vowels too! e.g. "ee" and short "i".

All this is just nit picking from a fan.
