In
this titillating interview for
Asiance Magazine, Ling Ling reveals more about herself than we ever wanted to know.
Here are a few highlights:
Bi:
I am from China and I never heard these songs in my life. It's a joke. It's like bringing you to China and giving you two days to learn a Chinese song you've never heard before in your life. In two days you have to compete with people from this country in front of millions of people. It's not enough time physically to remember all of those lyrics and those melodies.
ASIANCE: What was your favorite song?
Bai: I like all of them because I've never heard any of them before in my life, which is great and now I know all of them. My favorite was
I Want to be Sedated, in that performance everything came along and I enjoyed it because I think literally sometimes in my life I want to be sedated. They choose the song and I design the outfit. It comes from my head. I tell them what I want. Luckily I don't know any of the songs. They choose all of these idol songs that everyone knows and I just attack them without knowing anything.
I come up with these sexy, modern, stylish outfits that come from my head from one of the sexy little spirits.
ASIANCE: Who is your favorite recording artist?
Bai: I really like U2 and I like Bryan Adams. I have one of his songs
Everything I do, I do it for you on my list but they never chose it for me.
Like A Virgin was the hardest song for me, and I didn't feel Madonna's song. That was my first song and I didn't see Madonna's video. But I thought in China, when you're a virgin you wear red and that's how I came up with my outfit. I didn't know anything and it's funny because with my last song,
I Touch Myself, I felt like I went from being a virgin to touching myself - it's a long way to go on a show.
I'm like the wild card on the show. You never know what you're going to get. I'm the color. Without me the show would be boring.
ASIANCE: Would you sing one of
Nick Carter's songs?
Bai: Of course I would, but they didn't choose it for me. It's funny, I got emails from all over the world saying 'Congratulations,' and I said 'For what?' I didn't know. I said thank you for letting me know that I'm getting engaged.
ASIANCE: What was the hardest role you had to play this year?
Bai: I think they want me to make mistakes. It's not a show about singing, it's about entertainment, so I'm glad I served a purpose to make fun of myself. I feel like I really "made it through the wilderness."
ASIANCE: What is your next film?
Bai: The first one is
Edmon with
William H. Macy. I play an exotic dancer. I have to thank
Playboy magazine, which made it much easier to dance very sexily. I also shot very sexy pictures in London for
FHM. I always feel like there's a naturally sensual role. I feel very connected. If you can be brave, you have to be comfortable and be free. I think it's beautiful.
ASIANCE: What's going in your mind when you're shooting?
Bai:
I feel like I want to be making love and experiencing an orgasm. I feel like
I Want to Touch Myself. I told them I want to sing a love song and they gave me this song. That's literally p*rno. I told them if I have to sing this I have to touch myself then.
ASIANCE:
Is there a particular guy you're thinking of when you're singing this song?
More with Bai....after the jump!
Bai:
Of course there is! You can only imagine, because I can't tell you! I'm specifically singing it for that guy.
ASIANCE: Has your style of dressing changed from doing this show?
Bai: No I'm always like that. I feel like in a previous life, I was a wild animal. In nature you don't have any clothes on. I feel like clothing is just a decoration. I just dress the way I like. If you're young and beautiful it's natural to show your body, why hide?
I just feel like people think I'm crazy and sexy but I am just free.
ASIANCE: How do you stay so slim?
Bai:
I eat a lot of desserts, sometimes twice a day. And I drink a little now and I dance crazy. If you feel young and beautiful, it affects everything...how you eat, how you look, how you dress, how you digest. Our own bodies are like our own individual universe and our inner beauty is so important.
ASIANCE: What will you be doing after this show?
Bai: After the VH1 show, I've had a lot of people approach me to do my own show. Television is powerful. What's funny is that
I don't even have a TV. I have to go to my friend's place to watch VH1 because I don't have cable. Every where I go people recognize me. I go out and people say "Call me," I say "Call you, I don't even know you."`
I challenge my fears. I'm so honest and so sensitive. I'm a little afraid about doing a reality TV show. You can't hide anything and all your emotions show. I think you can only be beautiful if you accept who you are and be true to how you are and behave the way you're supposed to. We're all different in the world and I will show the truth of who I am. Like
when I sang Like A Virgin, I sang completely off tune because I couldn't hear the music. What can you do?
