Danny Nguyen, a dear fan of Ngoc Lan, has written, composed, arranged, and sung “Bong Lan Gay,” a special dedication to iLoveNgocLan.com. Although it is a home-grown production, the sincerity and honesty come across through his expressive performance. Mad kudos, Dan.

Heather Park’s “Not That Girl” has a blazin’ production.

A nice selection of Thanh Lam’s music ranging from jazz to folk to pop. The page is nicely designed, too.

The nasty remix of “What Mean The World To You?” with Cam’ron, Ludacris, Trina, UGK, and Juelz Santana.

Tired of looking at the muthaflowers; therefore, I am taking Visualgui.com back to square one – plain and simple.

You’ve read my review on Thuy Tien’s debut album. Here is a chance to watch her cool video, “Vang.” She’s cute, huh? (Via Tram).

Candy – keo
Goat Jesus – de chua
Freaky gang – dam dang
Eye duck – mat dich
Lost education – mat day
Mouth tongue – mieng luoi
Many stories – nhieu chuyen
Whored horse – di ngua
Kick fish roll mellon – da ca lan dua

Anything else, folks?

Oh no, Vu Tuan Duc is married to Thanh Truc. What a lucky bastard!

Wow! Check out Nhu Loan. This snap (the 10th from the top) makes me wish I could get a lap dance from her.

As the temperature goes up, my motivation goes down. Lately all I do is hiding in my air-conditioning apartment, sleeping, relaxing, and listening to jazz. I have collected about 150 jazz albums and give each one at least a spin. Of course, I need more time to digest them all, but here are a few albums that jump right at me.

Billy Holiday’s Lady Sings the Blues
Carmen McRae’s Carmen Sings Monk
Charlie Parker’s Cool Blues
Clifford Brown & Max Roach’s At Basin Street
Coleman Hawkins’s Body and Soul

Dinah Washington’s How to Do it

Ella Fitzgerald’s The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong’s best of Fitzgerald and Armstrong
Jane Monheit’s Taking A Chance On Love
John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme

Share your deepest secrets at PostSecret. This confession is so wrong.

Ngoc Dai’s “Doc Thoai Thang Gieng” is strange but exotic. Love the sounds and the voices. I believe the performers are Tung Duong and Ngoc Khue.

Watching Truc Lam and Truc Linh perform “Toi Ngan Nam Doi” feels like I am in a strip club instead of a concert hall.

Thanh Truc is definitely not a live singer. So show me some skins when I watch you perform because your voice won’t do it.

Nhu Loan wonders why everyone just stands there quietly. Well, duh! I would stand still and stare too.

Tu Quyen actually looks decent here, and her singing isn’t so bad either.

Jin is “Bridging the Gap” with his pop on a freestyle. His flow is tight, yet the interesting part is what his dad does on the mic: “I was born in China, moved to the USA, opened up a restaurant. I worked there every day. Then I had a son, Jin in his name. Now he’s an MC, one of the best in the game.” Unfortunately, Jin is throwing the towel on his rap career. Good luck with Hollywood, bro.

Hang Thu Pham is representing Viet Nam in Miss Universe; however, the Vietnamese officials said, “she hadn’t earned the sash” via The Star Online. From the interview, the only things she seems to be good at are shopping and watching movies.

iLoveNgocLan.com turns two. A new theme (Glamour) has been added and a few essays (in Vietnamese) have been posted. Drop by to celebrate the special event with us. Champagne is on me. Cheers!
