Two hours was enough for singer Zhang Liangying to prove her
continued popularity among fans.
The young star, rising to fame from her position as second
runner-up in the "Super Girl" singing competition two years ago,
attracted thousands of fans for her solo concert held at Beijing
Exhibition Theater on Saturday night.
With some new dance moves, the 22-year-old singer presented live
versions of hit songs from her debut album The One, as
well as new songs from her upcoming album Update, due out
in August.
The new album features a song called We Are Together,
produced for a project by the United Nations Children's Fund.
When she performed the song, 50 child guests from different
countries appeared onstage to show their support.
Zhang Liangying, best known for singing her favorite songs in
foreign languages, also covered Richard Marx's signature ballad
Right Here Waiting and Beyonce's Listen from the
award-winning Broadway musical Dreamgirls.
Being one of the most successful "Super Girls," Zhang Liangying
has made several international appearances already.
Earlier this year, she joined U2, Madonna, the Rolling Stones
and Green Day as the only Asian female singer, in recording the
song Give Your Love for World Peace One.
She also made her North American debut in March with a solo
concert in Los Angeles.
