Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lin Yu-Chun, whose performance of "I Will Always Love You" on a Taiwanese TV talent show became a viral hit, has signed a record deal, announced Sony Music Entertainment on May 13.
Twenty-four-year-old Lin performed the song on Taiwan's Avenue to Stardom in early April. A video of his rendition, eerily similiar to Whitney Houston's, became a web sensation and earned him comparisons to Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer who rose to stardom after performing on Britain's Got Talent. Lin was voted off the show soon after, when his performance of a Mandarin song failed to impress the judges.
Lin's debut album is due out in July. Sony did not indicate whether Dolly Porton's "I Will Always Love You" would be featured on the album, but did say that both English and Mandarin songs would be included.
