Bo Bee (保庇) featured on CNN; Taiwan's Lotus Wang Compared to Beyoncé?

41 year-old Lotus Wang (Wang Cai Hua, 王彩樺) released a studio album for the first time with completely unexpected results. With her cover of T-ara’s Bo Peep Bo Peep gaining over 1.6 million views on Youtube, she has now become quite a unique sensation worldwide. CNN recently reported on her Youtube music video hit and showed clips of many copycat versions posted on Youtube by people all over the world. The CNN program called Wang’s version of the song a “global hit” and even compared her to Beyoncé!

The original song was Bo Peep Bo Peep by Korean idol group T-ara. Lotus Wang’s version is titled Bo Bee – drawing amused reactions from many due to its highly similar title. However, interestingly Bo Bee means “God Blesses” in the Taiwanese language. The entire song is also sung not in Chinese but in the Taiwanese language.

Check out both Lotus Wang and T-ara’s version of this song below as well as the CNN report!
