    That female singer's name is Valen Hsu, and this version is in her second
album, Sea of Tears, which sold more than 600,000 copies in Taiwan alone.
But I don't like her version at all: the arrangements and her vocal sound
*almost* like the original, only much weaker and more pretentious just like
most of the copycats, and the lyrics mean nothing but a pile of random words.
What is interesting (or painful) is see how her imitate Kate's voice, but
beside that, it only makes me wanna *cry out loud* (the Mandarin title.)
It's said that she made another Mandarin cover of Kate's song on her first
album, but I've never heard of it myself; BTW, the featured single on that
album is another cover: Tori's "Winter", which sounds terribly similar,
like she's recorded it in karaoke style...
