Tan: Malay guys are appealing

Media conference on Disneys Elena os Avalor with Elizabeth Tan.

SINGER-songwriter Elizabeth Tan (pic) re­­veal­­­ed in an interview with Kosmo! that she is attracted to Malay guys.

The Malaysian YouTube sensation said she dated Malay guys in school because she found them appealing.

However, the pretty lass added that it did not mean she would marry one but would leave it to fate.

Meanwhile, the artiste has recorded the Malay version of the theme song for the animated TV series Elena of Avalor.

The singer said among the challenges of recording Kini Masaku was singing it with emotions of her character.

Fortunately, the 22-year-old said that she was just as strong-willed and earnest as the prota­gonist.

The series will premiere on Disney Channel on Nov 13.
