Dear Mama

When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there were no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me.

Dem khuya thon thuc
Yeu me trong toi
Mo ve nhung ngay tuoi au tho bay
Ben me toi con mot diem phuc nay.

Asian American Masculinity

Nappy-Headed Porn

Thuy Nga’s Clueless Executive

The best part of Quynh Vi’s final performance on Paris By Night Talent Show is not her impressive rendition of Trinh Cong Son’s “Mua Hong,” but watching her and Ky Duyen’s facial expression after Huynh Thi pulled some shit out of his ass. Not only he stuttered the way through, but also tried to fluff his way out by criticizing how “Mua Hong” has such a wide range that she couldn’t cover. Don’t you just love it when people make Trinh’s music sounded like it’s the most sophisticated piece of composition they have ever heard? Yet “Mua Hong” is just one of his straightforward, lyrical ballads. He also pointed out that she has chosen the wrong tune. What would you suggest, Mr. Thuy Nga’s Producer? Some melodrama shit like “Nguoi Ay va Toi, Anh Chon Ai?” so she could start ripping off her garments? Or should she have done what Trinh Lam did with Hoang Thi Tho’s “Mot Lan Cuoi” by turning it into a fucked-up, shouting jazz? That was the worse fusion I had ever heard, like eating pancakes with fish sauce, but you loved it. Come on man, sit your ass back in your executive chair.

Still High?

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.
