A cappella singers make their voices count on the Internet
Chinese pop icon Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan, the Taiwanese-Australian model and actress he had been dating for four years, got married in a Christian church in Yorkshire, Britain on Jan 17. Some fans found the news "heartbreaking", but the a cappella group Calculasian, composed of six Chinese students who graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, responded by performing 50 hits of Chou. They recorded their performance in two videos that they uploaded online, which have been viewed nearly a million times.
"We are big fans of Jay Chou. This is the best gift for him," says Li Ziming, 22, the group's tenor and music manager, who was born in Dalian, Liaoning province, and moved to San Diego with his family when he was 10 years old.
Besides Li, the singing group founded in 2013 comprises five others: soprano He Zhiyao, alto and vocal percussion Chen Chen, baritone Chen Xu, bass and vocal percussion Wang Tianyi and bass Lu Ye.
