Questions for Discussion:
Session 1
1. Among all the talent contestants on TV over the last couple of years, which ones are your favorite? What are some factors that attract you to these contestants?
2. Why do you think talent contests are popular around the world in the recent years? Do you think these shows help ordinary people to achieve or ruin their dreams?
3. According to the article, Lin mentioned that he has been teased since his youth because of his weight. Have you ever been misjudged or snubbed by someone because of your appearance? Why do you think Lin found a wider audience in the US instead of his home country?
Session 2
4. Amateur singers have enjoyed sudden popularity worldwide. Discuss the reasons why they have caused stirs on the Internet. Whose performance impresses you the most? Have you ever posted your singing on Youtube? If so, would you like to share the link with us?
5. Do you like Lin's singing? How long do you think his singing career will last? What are his biggest roadblocks ahead, in your opinion?
6. Lin has been regarded as "the Pride of Taiwan" by the media. Do you agree with this? Has he been overexposed in the media or not covered enough?
