no

English is totally her mother language！

Yar

But there is one main difference: Sally is much hotter than Celine

I think, George Lam is the one for her 💕

True

And one of Sally’s songs is a Cantonese cover of a Celine song: 繫我心弦!

Yes Sally did a Cantonese version of "My heart will go on" too!

She moved to Canada when she was 4 so she's a Canadian and is actually the most fluent in English (according to Wikipedia). Although I'm surprised too since I grew up listening to some of her songs as I kid. I assumed Cantonese was her first language and that she is from Hong Kong, since that's where my mom is from and she liked to listen to her Cantonese songs. But turns out she's actually Taiwanese-Canadian!

Watch The Killer

She is a legendary singer of Cantopop.

@Elba Que Yes she is amazing with picking up Cantonese as a Taiwanese Canadian. Very often, overseas Chinese that either grew up speaking Cantonese or Mandarin in the household often cannot learn each other's dialects. Amazingly, Sally was the first overseas Chinese to become very famous in the Hong Kong Cantonese entertainment and is not even a native Cantonese speaker, but later learned it and because of her, an influx of other Canadian Chinese even some American Chinese, mainly Cantonese became inspired to enter into the Hong Kong entertainment business, but many of them cannot even speak Cantonese as good as Sally and many of them are very limited in Mandarin; only a small number of them can speak Cantonese and Mandarin along with English as good as Sally.

Sounds like a California accent, couldn't tell the difference like from other Canadians.

@@supertrouper lol , her dad was a KMT soldier from Guangdong province, Zhongshan be more specific

and u known in hongkong

@Sally Yeh I am most honored little sister. 🌹

Many Hongkong artists born in the era when HongKong was ruled by the British can speak fabulous English.

She grew up in Victoria, BC..Canada.

@@chickwithaguitar6876 Maggie Chung great english

@@Valhalla88888 Maggie Cheung grew up in England.

Bc’ she’s a native English speaker

待君歸 Is Sally an Englishwoman 🇬🇧 of Chinese descent or an American Born Chinese 🇺🇸?!

@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 I would say she is Taiwanese Canadian. She was born in Taiwan but moved to Victoria of British Columbia in Canada at the age of four, but her parents will send her back to Taiwan every summer for her to keep speaking Mandarin. It's still hard for her to write any Chinese character

@@user-dj3ev5kx8o no

She has a beautiful unique voice. She's a great live singer as well. Faye Wong constantly sang out of tune in live performances

Never let you go with George Lam is the best Cover Version, hotter than the rest 💕. Duets with James Ingram were also perfect. Rest in Beats, James 😪

Never like Madonna with that pretentious pubescent voice, never been touched nasty slug.

lina assing This interview was done in 1997, noticed in the interview they talked about Hong Kong being handed over to China.

This could have been as early as 1992 or as late as 1997 (before the handover which Michale Do notes they discuss). Pamela Wallin (the interviewer) hosted the interview sections of a CBC news show first called "Prime Time News" (1992 through 1994) but later rebranded as "The National Magazine" (part of "The National") in 1994 - 1995. Peter Mansbridge hosted the news portion. Pamela Wallin was replaced in 1995 by Hana Gartner. She then worked at CTV briefly before returning to CBC to host another interview show called "Pamela Wallin Live" which was basically the same celebrity interview format, and that ran until about 1999. I don't think this necessarily is from 1997 though. It makes sense that it was close to the handover but it might even have been a year or two before. I think the Pamela Wallin Live show had a distinctive logo on the screen, which is not here (just the CBC and National "N" logos). Too bad there is no search function at CBC.ca archives on the web.

Born in Taiwan, spent adolescence in Canada, so the English is on point, where she wanted fame but her new country wasn't very welcoming, so she went where the opportunities were and had agents willing to give her shortcuts to sing the songs.

She is Canadian Chinese. She immigrated to Canada at a young age and grew up in Canada. She spent time in Taiwan and then came to Hong Kong, where she has been throughout most of her career. During this interview, she had been in Hong Kong for so long speaking Cantonese and Mandarin mostly that her accent changed. Now that she is not spending as much time in the Chinese speaking region, her accent is now more Canadian again. Watch the interview "Sally Yeh Interview The Killer", which is from a few years ago her accent is more Canadianized.

+DYTUNG no need

+DYTUNG british accent? LOL what a joke...u dont know what british is accent at all...

antonio bruno nothing to do with british accent.she stars as singing cantopop. if not familiar with cantonese,nobody can star

wtf british accent?!

g47s589 Well I would agreed but remember this interview was done in 1997 (you can tell when they brought up the Hong Kong handover to China in the interview). The international media didn't give Anita Mui attention until early 2000's, that's where the international media called her the Madonna of Asia. But now since Anita Mui is no longer with us, I wondered who's going to be the next "Asian Madonna"? I have a feeling the next Asian Madonna will be Korean given K-pop is getting a lot of global popularity.

Anyway, Anita Mui is constantly the top female singer in HK music industry. Dubbing Sally as the Asian Madonna is somehow inappropriate. And I think Anita did have an interview with CNN around 1992. Even Faye Wong seemed to gain international attention by appearing on the cover of 1996 Times magazine; however, I don't think at all Faye was that famous internationally especially at that time before developing the market of mainland China and Japan.

And the Kpop is getting much popularity only due to today's media, technology, and Internet. Unfortunately that only extends the width of their fame but not depth of recognition and popularity, which means more ppl in thr globe get to know them, but they do not obtain a significant recognition in any specific region of the globe (probably only beside locally in Korea).

+g47s589 you are totally right, but Sally is very good, too. Anita was the biggest HK sensation, and Sally could be considered one of the most popular pop divas, too.

Dani Timo I wonder what Sally today would've thought about K-pop making globla headline and I'm not only talking about Psy.

你滚啊！

Fk all the people that didn’t say shit for chickens but preferred to join this weakass & fakeass society to rob, rape, & kill chickens instead of try to call shit out & move away. Hella gey shit. Sally Yeh = a “singer” = a “copier” also because didn’t “INVENT” singing BUT copied. Copier = weak shit. Shady, ignorant, & cold blooded = whack shit. Copier, Shady, & CRUEL & COLD-BLOODED by CHOICE = a LOSER = NOT “attractive”! BETA FEMALE FOREVER & BEYOND = NOT “wifey/lover” material = FUCK & TOSS to the side & let them become wrinkled, wilt, & obsolete then replace them like the fking shady bytch that they are.
