After making a public confession on Asia’s latest show, Buoc Chan Viet Nam, that he had made the wrong turn (lam duong lac buoc), Lam Nhat Tien appeared as though he still needed a fix during his duet performance with Ngoc Ha on “Con Rong Chau Tien.” I am not sure if he got high off Ngoc Ha’s vocals or he has not come completely clean. Keep kicking it, man.
This has to be the most voluptuous ao dai I have ever seen. By stripping away the unnecessary, Cyndi Tran (the model) not only added a bit of spice into the traditional dress, but also gave it a contemporary aesthetic. Young ladies (only) should start adapting this modern approach to ao dai.
Like I haven’t spend enough time on this blog already. Now with Twitter to let the world know what the hell I am doing every minute. Talking about living online and privacy.
“The People” from lyricist Common: “Can’t leave rap alone, the streets need me / Hunger in their eyes is what seem to feed me.”
Two additional renditions of Pham Duy’s “Ky Niem” from my girls 5 Dong Ke and Duc Tuan. It’s refreshing to hear the tune from the young generation.
That’s right, 13 renditions of Pham Duy’s “Ky Niem” (including Tuan Ngoc’s) for your entertainment. That’s how much we love this song.
Lady Day was not just about pain and drama. When accompanied by the King of Swing on “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” she could swing too. Again, her timing was just amazing. Benny Goodman’s sweet tone on the clarinet was freaking beautiful.
I find myself reaching back to Quan Van NoVa’s rendition of “Ky Niem” again and again like a glass of water. Despite some flaws in his pronunciation, particularly “cuu vot gai bo vo,” brother Tin handles the low notes with conversational candor and the mandolin adds a dollop of melancholy to his raspy vocals. The complement between the instruments (piano and mandolin in unison) on the break is hypnotizing. Mad kudos friends!
Where you could file a $65 million lawsuit over a pair of missing pants. Goddamn!
If you like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video, you’ll love the Indian version.
