Thai teen reminds fans of Teresa Teng

Vanatsaya Viseskul, a sweet-voiced, round-faced 16-year-old Thai singer, whose name, at the moment, is inextricably linked with the late Teresa Teng, a singer from Taiwan whose love songs gained her wide fame across Asia, sat on a chair in a dressing room of a theater in Beijing.

Viseskul was preparing for her performance at a gala by China Oriental Performing Arts Group, one of the country's most prestigious performing art groups which has official endorsement.

Titled Oriental Love, the gala, which was staged from Dec 14 to 17 at Mei Lanfang Grand Theater, showcases music and dances from more than 10 countries. Viseskul, representing Thailand, performed The Moon Represents My Heart, one of Teng's most famous ballads, which is also one of the favorite songs of the young Thai singer.
