Sweet Songs, Romantic Ballads.

This coming fall, in western suburb of Chicago, there is a special concert you won’t want to miss. Elaine Wang, also known as ‘Little Teresa Teng’ will impress you with sweet songs and romantic ballads. Elaine is a Chinese singer who has gained great reputation in greater Chicago area. Teresa Teng, who was a superstar in 1980s, was not only Elaine’s favorite singer, but also the first pop idol of millions of Chinese people. She was more than an icon to Chinese pop music. Her singing was described as “soft, sweet, often whispery and restrained”. In this concert, Elaine will bring Teng’s greatest hits as well as classic folk songs to all her audience. This concert is a preheat event for International Women Associates (IWA) 2018 China Gala.

Highlights:

‘Sweetness’ (also known as “Tian Mi Mi”) was widely spread on the mainland China. The lyrics were written by Zhuang Nu (1922–2016), who was a famous journalist, editor, dramatic actor, and productive lyricist. This song has lovely rhymes, which make the whole song sweet as honey.

‘The Moon Represents My Heart’ was once described as a "love song with a waltz-like lilt". This song might be the most popular Karaoke song. The simple lyrics and beautiful melody will certainly bring your sweet memories back to you.

‘I Only Care About You’ was another popular song. It was performed in both Japanese and Mandarin. The Japanese version was regarded as the most popular song in Japan in the year of 1986. Teng’s version delivers strong feelings to a lover by shouting out loud ‘No matter how time flies, You are the only one I care about.’

This concert is a pre-heat event for 2018 IWA China Gala.
