(1) Chen Jia's Background Profile (a) Good Piano Skills, and Good at Dancing and Singing Chen Jia (Weibo certification: singer & musician) was born and raised in Beijing. From the age of three, she studied piano with a professor in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music. At the age of 13, she obtained the highest level certificate of the National Music Association and the Central Conservatory of Music piano examination at home and abroad. She also won many awards in Beijing Elementary and Secondary School Art Festival. At the age of 18, she took the national high school gifted piano students exam of Tsinghua University and obtained the first level (highest level) certificate, and the second place in the national high school students piano exam of Beijing University. At the age of 11, she was admitted to the youth and women’s choir affiliated to the China Symphony Orchestra. During the ten years in the group, she visited the USA, Russia, Italy, Japan, HK, Macao, Taiwan many times, and participated in hundreds of performance, and won many awards. In 2019, she passed the eighth level of the Royal Academy of Dance (the highest level of amateur dance). In an interview with NetEase in October 2020, Chen Jia said that in order to maintain fitness on the stage, she will continue practising dancing. She also said that because she didn't learn vocal music systematically since she was a child, she now also needs to take vocal music lessons and learn the correct singing techniques to improve her singing skills. Now her voice is crisper and more charming, and her endings softer and more beautiful than ever before. (b) Highly Educated and Good Career Chen Jia graduated from the Department of Finance of the "University of International Business and Economics" in Beijing, and later went to Germany to study, she obtained with flying colors a master's degree in International Business Management from the University of Hamburg, Germany, and then returned to China to work in Bank of China Securities International Co., Ltd., specializing in A-share listing, a job with a high salary and job security. (2) Chen Jia is Regarded by Many as the Best Successor to Teresa Teng Chen Jia was obsessed with Teresa Teng when she was young. When she learned that Teresa Teng had passed away, she was so sad that she hid in her bedroom and wept grievously for a whole week. Whenever she went to Taiwan, she tried her best to make time to go to pay respects to Teresa Teng. Chen Jia held an one-and-a-half-hour online solo concert in a hotel room during a business trip in 2011 to commemorate the 16th anniversary of Teresa Teng's death. She sang a number of songs in different periods of Teresa Teng in multiple languages. Chen Jia didn’t know that the online concert could be recorded by others and put on the Internet. The video of the concert was accidentally discovered by Teresa Teng’s third brother. With great admiration, he invited her to sign a contract with the Teresa Teng Cultural and Educational Foundation (TTCEF). After considering for more than a year, she finally quitted her high-paying and secured job in finance, and signed a contract with the TTCEF to become a professional singer at the end of 2012. Chen Jia and Wang Jing were the only two contracted singers of the TTCEF. Being a contracted singer of the TTCEF was an affirmation of one's singing skills and an honor for singers. While Chen Jia and Wang Jing were both contracted singers of TTCEF, Teresa Teng's third brother chose Chen Jia to complete Teresa Teng's posthumous work "清平調". Chen Jia is still the only singer who can accurately recite the songs of Teresa Teng in various languages in various periods, and is regarded by many as the best successor to Teresa. (3) Does Chen Jia Deliberately Imitate Teresa Teng's Singing? When Chen Jia was a child, she tried her best to imitate Teresa Teng's singing and voice, but as she got older, she no longer deliberately sought to imitate Teng's voice. But instead she started from a deeper level, studying Teng’s singing skills and vocalization methods, which, after years of research, have been thoroughly drilled into her, and now can be freely applied by her as part of her own singing skills, and there is no need to deliberately imitate Teng. Teresa Teng’s third brother also said that Chen Jia’s own voice was close to that of Teresa Teng, and she did not deliberately imitate Teng’s voice. If she did, she could only sing a few songs similarly, and it was impossible to sing so many songs so close. In an interview in New York in May 2017, Chen Jia said that her singing is a synthesis of the singing skills and music knowledge she learned from Teresa Teng, her choir conductor and her piano teacher, not simply imitating Teng. In November of the same year, Chen Jia said on Changzhou Radio in China that she did not listen to Teresa Teng’s songs anymore. She explained that if she twisted herself to deliberately imitate others, she would not sing naturally and would not sing well. She now sings only on the basis of her own feelings of the song. In the evening of October 20, 2021 on Douyin Live, a fan asked Chen Jia to use Teresa Teng's voice to sing pop songs. Chen Jia replied that she could only use her own voice to sing Teresa Teng's songs and pop songs. Many of Teresa Teng's songs in Chen Jia's albums have been re-arranged, and Chen Jia has her own interpretation of certain songs. You can compare the following songs, first sung by Teresa Teng, and then by Chen Jia: 天涯歌女 th-cam.com/video/FpWXkNaYlsQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/YkVwUCp9SQA/w-d-xo.html 愛的箴言 th-cam.com/video/VTC-FhTKZFc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/w9Yyc1jAFus/w-d-xo.html 嘆十聲 th-cam.com/video/bPZXjeBu_VI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/FAlE9vFKuHQ/w-d-xo.html 人面桃花 th-cam.com/video/M1Zgfnn44io/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/tqh4_uSjCzA/w-d-xo.html 千言萬語 th-cam.com/video/iuXzZB_PBQA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/wqNw9-coORY/w-d-xo.html 你怎麼說 th-cam.com/video/sLWls1V2QQs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Cz2eb1XRZm8/w-d-xo.html 星 th-cam.com/video/jQFI3Z-G5mg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OeZfppyyFiY/w-d-xo.html 雨中追憶 th-cam.com/video/DaDKS0FE2RE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1jeVHPt5H3/w-d-xo.html Now do you think Chen Jia deliberately imitates Teresa Teng's singing? (4) Chen Jia's Ambitions, Strengths and Actions Are More Than Just Being the Best Successor to Teresa Teng (a) Ambitions In a 2015 BTV《 我家有明星》TV show titled "我怎能離開你", Chen Jia said: Teresa Teng is her lifelong hobby, but it is certainly not her only pursuit. Chen Jia is regarded by many as the best successor to Teresa Teng, but she has never regarded herself as such because her ambitions, strengths and actions are more than just being that. (b) Strengths ** Can Compose and Write Lyrics: to date, has more than 30 original songs, including one original album. Some of them can be found in the non-profit Sinology series《輕談國學歌風雅》 , in which Chen Jia acted as the program host, singer and music consultant. th-cam.com/users/c%E8%BC%95%E8%AB%87%E5%9C%8B%E5%AD%B8%E6%AD%8C%E9%A2%A8%E9%9B%85 ** Beautiful Voice: sweet but not cloying, mellow, clear and crisp. ** Excellent Singing Skills: the breath is silent, the live performance is stable, and the level is close to that of the recording studio, no need to use a teleprompter, and is a strong live performer. ** Singing Characteristics: natural and comfortable, almost never pretentious or exaggerated, singing clearly, delicate and charming. ** Wide Range of Singing: singing non-Teresa Teng's songs is also very good. She is one of the rare northern singers that sings Cantonese, Hokkein and Japanese with almost perfect pronunciation and sings the unique charm of the local language, although she has never lived in these places before. Most of her fans are from the Cantonese speaking regions, and her Cantonese songs are even more popular among fans. So far, she has covered more than 40 Cantonese songs, including two Cantonese albums. ** Work Attitude: hardworking, motivated, studious, striving for perfection, thinking, planning and perseverant. **Admired and Loved by Fans: beautiful, intelligent, elegant, versatile (dancing, piano playing, song writing, and singing in multiple languages with precise pronunciation) and likable personality: low-key, modest, straightforward, strong, decent, scandal-free, sweet smile and amiable. (c) Actions Since singing Teresa Teng's songs is Chen Jia's lifelong hobby and many of her fans love hearing her sing Teresa Teng's songs, she will continue to cover Teresa Teng's songs, but also, at the same time, she is producing more original songs, and is covering songs of other singers that fit her style. She is striving to carve a niche, that is independent of Teresa Teng, for herself in the singing world, and will not live in the shadow of Teresa Teng forever. (5) Chen Jia Has Achieved Quite Good Results in Her Singing Career Although Chen Jia is not a big hit, yet she has over 30 original songs, and has performed in mainland China, HK, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia and USA. She dubbed and sang for virtual Teresa Teng in the 2022 New Year's Eve TV show, and sang an interlude for a Chaoshan movie. To date (Feb. 28, 2022) she has held nearly 100 solo concerts on tour and released a total of 12 solo albums. She is highly praised by audiophiles and is ranked among the top most popular singers in the Chinese audiophile music scene, and her albums won many awards, including the "Best Singer of the Year Award in 2017". The 12 albums include: (a) 10 albums in China: 1 original Mandarin album "劇中人" th-cam.com/video/wyWUjxePerM/w-d-xo.html 2 Cantonese albums (Teresa Teng did not sing any of these songs before): "似是故人來 " and " 應是故人來" th-cam.com/video/TiRtKjc1ahU/w-d-xo.html 4 albums "又見鄧麗君" 1-4 2 albums "去年今日" 1-2 1 album "遇見" (formerly called "櫻花之旅" ) (b) 2 albums in Japan : "Kei 68" th-cam.com/video/IysHMTwQ2Zc/w-d-xo.html and "Kei 68 International"

(一) 陳佳背景簡介
(a) 琴藝高， 能歌善舞
陳佳 (微博認證：歌手 音樂人)，土生土長北京人， 三歲起師從中央音樂學院鋼琴系教授學習鋼琴， 十三歲獲得全國音協考級及中央音樂學院海內外鋼琴考級最高級證書，曾多次在北京市中小學藝術節中獲獎； 十八歲考獲清華大學全國高中鋼琴特長生第一級(最高級)證書，及北京大學全國高中生鋼琴考試第二名。
十一歲考入中國交響樂團附屬少年及女子合唱團，在團十年期間，多次出訪美國、俄羅斯、義大利、日本、港、澳、台等地， 演出數百場，並多次獲獎。
2019年考獲英國皇家舞蹈學院第八級 (業餘舞蹈的最高級)。
陳佳2020年10月接受「網易」訪問時說，為了保持舞台上的狀態，會保持練習舞蹈。她又說因為從小就沒有系統地學習聲樂，現在也需要進修聲樂課，學習正確的演唱技術來提升自己的演唱水平，現在她的嗓音比以前更清脆、更有磁性，歸韻更柔美。
(b) 高學歷 ，好職業
陳佳畢業於北京「 對外經濟貿易大學」金融學系，後赴德國留學， 以極優異成績取得德國漢堡大學國際企業管理碩士學位， 學成回國任職中銀證券國際有限公司， 專責為A股上市，待遇優厚，工作又穩定。
(二) 陳佳被許多人視為鄧麗君最佳接班人
陳佳年幼時極之痴迷鄧麗君， 當她悉知鄧麗君去世，她傷心極了，躲在房間痛哭了整個星期， 每逢到台灣，都盡量抽時間去拜祭鄧麗君。
陳佳2011年出差時在酒店房間開了一個長達一個半小時的網上個人演唱會，紀念鄧麗君逝世16週年， 唱了多首鄧麗君不同時期多種語言的歌曲。陳佳不知道網上演唱會能被別人錄下來放在網上， 演唱會視頻偶然被鄧麗君三哥發現， 大為讚嘆， 邀請她簽約鄧麗君文教基金會， 她考慮了一年多，最終辭去高薪又隱定的金融工作，於2012年底簽約該基金會，成為職業歌手。
陳佳和王靜曾是鄧麗君文教基金會唯一的兩位簽約歌手，能簽約該基金會是歌藝得到肯定， 是歌手的榮譽。 雖然陳佳和王靜同是該基金會簽約歌手，鄧麗君三哥選了陳佳去完成鄧麗君的遺作《 清平調》。
陳佳仍然是目前唯一歌手能精準背唱鄧麗君各個時期多種語言的歌曲，被許多人視為鄧麗君最佳接班人。
(三) 陳佳有沒有刻意模仿鄧麗君唱歌？
陳佳年少時盡量模仿鄧麗君的歌唱和聲音，但當年紀漸長，她不再刻意追求模仿鄧的聲音， 而是從更深的層次出發，研究鄧的演唱技巧和發聲方法等，經多年硏究， 這些演唱技巧和發聲方法已融入她的骨子裏，成為她自己的歌唱技巧的一部分，能運用自如，無須刻意模仿鄧麗君。
鄧麗君三哥說陳佳本身的聲音就近似鄧麗君的聲音， 她並沒有刻意模仿鄧麗君的聲音，若刻意模仿，只能唱得幾首歌近似，不可能唱這麼多首歌都這麼接近。
2017年5月陳佳在紐約接受訪問時說，她的歌唱是綜合了從鄧麗君、合唱團導師和鋼琴老師所學得的歌唱技巧和音樂知識， 不是單純模仿鄧麗君。
同年11月陳佳在中國常州電台說，她再沒有聽鄧麗君的歌了， 又解釋說若扭曲自己去刻意模仿別人， 不會唱得自然， 不會唱得好聽， 她現在只憑自己對歌曲的感覺去唱。
2021年10月20日晚在抖音直播有歌迷要求陳佳用鄧麗君的聲音去唱流行歌曲， 陳佳回答說，她只會用自己的聲音去唱鄧麗君歌曲和流行歌曲。
陳佳的專輯裏很多鄧麗君歌曲是經重新編曲， 她對一些歌曲有著自己的演繹方式。可以比較以下歌曲，先由鄧麗君唱，再由陳佳翻唱：

現在你覺得陳佳有沒有刻意模仿鄧麗君唱歌？
(四) 陳佳的抱負、實力和行動都不止於只做鄧麗君最佳接班人
(a) 抱負
在2015 BTV《我家有明星》 “我怎能離開你” 電視節目中陳佳說：鄧麗君是我一生的愛好， 但肯定不是唯一的追求。

(c) 行動
唱鄧麗君歌曲是陳佳一生的愛好，再加上很多她的歌迷非常喜歡聽她唱鄧麗君歌曲 ，所以她會繼續翻唱鄧的歌曲， 但同時也正在製作更多原創/原唱歌曲，並翻唱符合她的風格的其他歌手的歌曲，力求在歌唱界創出獨立於鄧麗君的另一片天地， 不會永遠只活在鄧麗君的影子裏。

(c) Actions
Since singing Teresa Teng's songs is Chen Jia's lifelong hobby and many of her fans love hearing her sing Teresa Teng's songs, she will continue to cover Teresa Teng's songs, but also, at the same time, she is producing more original songs, and is covering songs of other singers that fit her style. She is striving to carve a niche, that is independent of Teresa Teng, for herself in the singing world, and will not live in the shadow of Teresa Teng forever.
