18 Apr - Hong Kong singer Sandy Lam recently won the latest season of the Hunan TV top singing competition, "I Am A Singer" (re-named "Singer 2017").

The singer, who competed against three other competitors, won the most votes with her rendition of A-Mei's song, "Tomorrow Maybe", with the help of the original Taiwanese vocalist herself.

Sandy couldn't help but tear up when she was announced the winner, saying that she didn't expect to win since her competitors are all great performers.

The second place went to Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed a medley of Michael Jackson's songs including "Billy Jean" and "Earth Song", with the assistance from Chinese performer Laure Shang.

On the other hand, Jam Hsiao and his band The Lion was placed third, followed by Chinese singer Li Jian.

Sandy's victory also marks the first win for a Hong Kong singer, born and bred. The first three seasons were won by mainland singers, while the previous season was won by Chinese-American singer-songwriter Coco Lee.

OPINION - Vladimir Putin using North Korean troops could become a nightmare for Russia — and China
Donald Trump has promised to settle the Ukraine war within 24 hours – and so many expect a difficult peace, a “dirty deal” according to Max Hastings, early next year. Russian forces are now on a roll, pushing along nearly 800 miles of front in Ukraine itself, and squeezing Ukraine forces in the pocket of Russian territory round Kursk they took last summer. Any deal for ceasefire and armistice wouldn’t be Trump’s but Putin’s. Right now, Putin’s team have said they are no mood for talks to end the war.

House elections produced a stalemate. Can Republicans figure out how to work with a thin majority?
After one of the most chaotic and least productive sessions in modern history, voters made a surprising choice in elections for the U.S. House -- they overwhelmingly stuck with the status quo. House Republicans will hold onto a thin majority, and while the chamber's exact partisan divide is still to be determined as votes are tallied in a handful of states, the results of 435 House races nationwide have produced hardly any change to the makeup of the chamber. In fact, it's more like a stalemate: Republicans and Democrats have each flipped seven seats, while just eight incumbents nationwide have lost their races.

Salmon return to lay eggs in historic habitat after largest dam removal project in US history
A giant female Chinook salmon flips on her side in the shallow water and wriggles wildly, using her tail to carve out a nest in the riverbed as her body glistens in the sunlight. Now, less than a month after those dams came down in the largest dam removal project in U.S. history, salmon are once more returning to spawn in cool creeks that have been cut off to them for generations. Video shot by the Yurok Tribe show that hundreds of salmon have made it to tributaries between the former Iron Gate and Copco dams, a hopeful sign for the newly freed waterway.
