James Yang Yong Cong aka James Yang Chinese Idol:
Chinese Idol: Beijing Beijing
Chinese Idol SMG Shanghai TV interview. So difficult: I'd only been learning Mandarin for a year!
Chinese Idol battle: the amazing Yang Ji Ma 央吉玛 and me. We really didn't want to be set against each other! Here I sing "Long Time No See", an Eason Chan song, for the first time. It's still very popular wherever I go.

I was one of several competitors called back to take part in the Final - and was completely surprised to receive an award because so many people had contacted the show to say they were sad I had been knocked out in fifth place. It was a kind of People's Popular Consolation Prize and I am still very proud of it.
During Chinese Idol the final 8 went on a road trip for a break and to make a promo in which the producers made up a fake romance for me - a fake romance that lots of people believed in! I was dressed up as such a geek and got to ride a vintage style bike. But then we were back to the serious stuff...
And in the beginning: my Chinese Idol audition - singing Adele's Someone Like You

Then they asked me to sing in Mandarin. So I did, the judges joined in, I walked around and suddenly I was on my way!

Me again, on that big stage with a rapidly growing band of supporters in an audience that seemed ever-more brilliant. I had a string quartet backing me: that was really cool. Even cooler is that this is extracted from the Final so by then I wasn't even in the competition!
Right! That's enough for now: there are more on YouTube.
