The First News (reporter Ding Bo): winner of two Grammy trophies and reputed as Jazz Goddess, the Canadian jazz singer Diana Krall, is about to be in China for her 2008 world tour. This female singer, wondering among jazz and pop, may be more in line with the tastes of Chinese audience.

Diana Krall's Beijing concert will be held on October 12 in the Beijing Exhibition after her performances in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

As a jazz singer, Diana Krall has achieved the best commercial result before Nora Jones. Her style of singing flows among jazz and popular music, which brings a new feeling. When she first came to the fore, her singing style got plenty criticism from the critics. However, she proved herself by the ultimate success.

For the Chinese audience, Diana Krall's style may be more in line with the Chinese tastes. This is because, even though the pure jazz music displays much in the play of the instrument, very few Chinese audiences pay attention to it. The concert of Harry Connick Jr. last year can be an example. It would be much easier for the audience to appreciate if the concerts are with some popular elements.
