Okay, y’all, remember this name, Coco Lee.

You may not have heard of her yet, but you will.

She’s sold millions of records all over the world,

and she’s being heralded as the Mariah Carey of Asia.

And she’s about to do what no other American, uh, sorry, not American,

Asian American artist has been able to do so far,

become an American pop superstar.

And never forget we’re bringing you her first, okay?

Please welcome Coco Lee, everyone.

Hello! Hi, Lisa!

Coco, congratulations on your CD.

Thank you.

Now, I know that this is your American debut,

but you kind of consider this a homecoming. Why is that?

Um, because I grew up here, you know.

I came to, uh, the States when I was like a little baby, and I came to, you know,

I went to elementary school here, middle school, high school, had my proms here,

and so this is where my life began.

Okay, ’cause I, I got a little flustered there,

’cause I know you weren’t born in America.

I said Asian American.

Right, right, right.

Now I’m making an excuse for myself for messing up reading the prompter.

But, um, you’re huge in Asia,

but it’s more difficult in the United States.

What kind of challenges are for you?

It’s a huge challenge.

Basically, I’m starting all over again.

I’m a new artist, you know, people don’t know who Coco Lee is,

and, uh, you know, I have to give more efforts,

and because there’s a lot more work required as a new artist.

And the funniest thing is, like, uh, you know,

in the States I have to get up like four o’clock in the morning for a photo shoot,

but in Asia, you know, it’s whenever I feel like it,

or like I can get my beauty sleep,

and like five o’clock in the afternoon,

okay, I feel like doing an interview now, you know,

so it’s totally different there.

So it’s literally more rigorous in the United States.

Right, right.

Well, I also understand that you got your start kind of

on the Asian equivalent of Star Search, is that true?

Yeah, it is. Um, it’s a huge singing contest in Hong Kong,

and, uh, you know, like thousands of people enter each year

hoping to be a singer, and for me, being a singer was unintentional.

So I didn’t know I had the talent, but I love singing.

And I grew up listening to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey,

and I sang, uh, “Whitney Houston’s Run to You” and “I Want Second Place”

and that’s how I got to where I am today.

You know what’s adorable about this girl?

Her mother goes everywhere with her.

And her sister is, your sister is your makeup artist.

She quit her job and studied makeup to be with you all the time.

I think that’s adorable.

Are you gonna sing for us now, right?

Definitely.

Performing “Do You Want My Love”

Oh great, your song is gonna be in my head all day.

CoCo Lee thank you so much. You’re adorable.

And you can purchase Coco’s CD, “Just No Other Way,” on our website.

And when we come back, I join the Old Navy team and you’re getting the first look.

We’ll be right back.

Thank you.

请大家记住这个名字 Coco Lee李玟

你们可能还没有听说过她 但你们会的

她在世界各地售出了数百万张唱片

被誉为亚洲的玛丽亚凯莉

她即将做到其他美国人 抱歉

其他亚裔艺人迄今为止无法做到的事情

成为美国流行音乐巨星

不要忘记是我们带来她的首次亮相

请大家欢迎Coco李玟

你好 嗨 Lisa

Coco 恭喜你的专辑

谢谢

我知道这是你在美国的首次亮相

但你有点把这当作回家 为什么

嗯 因为我在这里长大

我在很小的时候来到美国

我在这里上小学 初中 高中 参加毕业舞会

所以这就是我的生活开始的地方

当时我有点混乱

因为我知道你不是在美国出生的

所以我刚才说亚裔美国人

是的

我知道我读错了台词 所以现在我在为自己找借口

但是 在亚洲 你非常成功

但在美国要困难得多

你遇到了什么样的挑战

这是一个巨大的挑战

基本上 我要重新开始

我是一个新人 人们不知道Coco Lee是谁

而且作为一个新人

需要付出更多的努力

最有趣的是 在美国

我必须早上四点起床拍照片

但在亚洲 我可以随心所欲

或者我可以睡个美容觉

然后下午五点钟

好吧 我想现在进行采访

所以完全不同

在美国工作更加严格

对

我还了解到你是从亚洲版的

星光大道开始的 是吗？

没错 这是香港的一个重要唱歌比赛

每年有成千上万的人参加

希望成为歌手 而对我来说 成为歌手是无意的

我不知道我有才华 但我喜欢唱歌

我在惠特尼休斯顿 玛丽亚凯莉的音乐中长大

我唱了惠特尼休斯顿的 Run to You 和 I Want Second Place 

然后成为了现在的我

你知道这个女孩有多可爱吗

她的妈妈随时随地跟着她

她的妹妹是她的化妆师

她辞掉了工作 学化妆只为能一直陪在你身边

我觉得这太可爱了

你现在要为我们唱歌 对吗

当然

太好了 你的歌将会一直在我脑海中回响一整天

Coco Lee 非常感谢你 你太可爱了

你可以在我们的网站上购买Coco的专辑Just No Other Way

接下来 我会加入Old Navy团队 你们将第一个看到

我们马上回来

谢谢
