Asian Singers & my bimbette side surfacing... LOL :P

Holidays are here again albeit for about three weeks. For the past two days, I've been taking the liberty of surfing till wee hours of the morning looking for old music videos. What I've stumbled upon in YouTube was an interesting plethora of Asian music videos. My shout of thanks to MadameRosse's nieces!

Now, before you start to point an accusing finger at me being a pro american music fan, let me assure you that in my iPod, there is an even mix of asian songs in it. Honestly, I discovered the joy of listening to asian music only about ten years ago. My teen years was filled with american and brit top 40 fluffs (NKOTB, bros, color me badd, brother beyond, Earth Wind & Fire, eurythmics, erasure... the likes). Now, my taste in music I would say is more varied. From genres like bossa nova, trance, d&b, world, fado, classical, arias and such, I'm beginning to enjoy listening songs from Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.

One of my favourites is Philippines rnb group, South Border. I simply melted when I heard them sing even though I know not a word of tagalog. And the best part, they can sing live! No lip synching. The same goes for jazzy trio Clazziquai Project. I remembered listening to their lush vocals a few years back and to this day, I've not been able to get my hands on their cd single, Rainbow. {The shops here don't bring them in! Aaargh!} And my jaunt in search of Clazziquai Project cd yesterday proved futile too!

Oh well, I'll just have to make do with YouTube for now.

By the way, I'm beginning to wonder if it was wired in me since I'm still a foetus or something to drool over Pan Asian guys, specifically those sino anglo mix. I can't help it but I just prefer guys whose half jap/korean/chinese & half anglo/caucasian. Though many might not agree with what I find cute, BUT I'm very sure Daniel Henney can be a lot of women's cups of latte. Oh another one is Japan's Koji Murofushi and Ilmari. Muahahah... must be the smiles with the dimples... LOL
