Aska Yang and Rachel Liang will soon hold a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada. They will become the first Cpop artists to perform on an internationally renowned stage. Previous well-known artists who have or will soon hold their concerts there include Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga.
The two artistes come from the One Million Star singing competition. For their first collaboration together, they are going to America to help bring up the support for overseas Chinese. They have also actively discussed the duets they will perform. Last year, Rachel Liang performed as a guest at One Million Star judge Phil Chang’s concert which was also held in the United States. At that time, she had much pressure. This time, she uses her experience to help out Aska Yang and give him more suggestions. Although Aska Yang may be considered her senior, this is actually his first time to America. Coincidentally, the concert will also be held on his birthday. At the moment, he already knows that there will be many older women and mothers (the fans) who will specially come to the concert to celebrate his birthday. Both artistes are very excited to meet their U.S. fans.
Besides preparing classic renditions of the songs she sang on One Million Star, Rachel Liang also predicts that there will be many fans from all over the world. So she specially practiced multiple phrases in different languages and she also hopes that everyone will see her sincerity. As for Aska, he has decided to perform a hot dance number for the audience. Only those who go will be able to see this performance. The concert will also be broadcasted through radio so that everyone can listen in.
Soon, international news broadcasters CNN and CBS will come to interview Aska and Rachel. When both of them heard this news, they became both happy and nervous. Now they are practicing their English skills because they hope not to make any mistakes.
