Thanh Ha's Public Dispute

You probably heard the fighting story of famous singer Thanh Hà . There are two sides to this story. One side suggested that Thanh Ha went to the 108 Anh Hung Hao Han shop because the storeowner “ Co Lieu ” sent sexy pictures to Thanh Ha’s husband. But another side suggested that Thanh Ha went to the shop looking for Co Lieu’s father and ended up taking a stack of 20 CDs without paying and was stopped by the owner. Thanh Ha claimed that Lieu’s father owned her some CDs. Lieu responded that that is between Thanh Ha and her father, and Thanh Ha should not take CDs from her store. Allegedly Thanh Ha said lots of bad things toward Lieu’s parents and the storeowner was shock by the dirty tone and language used by the famous singer. Lieu responded to the singer that she heard lots of bad things about her and including that the singer likes to sleep with many men. Thanh replied by saying so what and that it is not any of Lieu’s business. Co Lieu furthered said that Thanh Ha’s attitude justif...

Vietnamese Beauty Pageants in the U.S.

Credit picture to http://www.missvietnamusa.com/ There are too many beauty pageants under similar names vowing to showcase the beauty of Vietnamese women and unite Vietnamese people to honor our culture and heritage. But none of them can truly do what they said because all of them ended up looking like another hopeful pageant with no creditability at all! I understand that the actual show might not be like totally glamorous or as big because the lack of money or support. It is not about the money or having a big stage but that most of these shows are an embarrassment and a total joke. It seems that just about anyone who has money can create a show and anyone can enter the show. First off, let’s take a look at their “official” website. I selected two recently ones. Miss Vietnam USA and Miss Vietnam Global are two good examples the kind of so call Vietnamese pageants that take place in the U.S. With all the money that are put into this, they can at least make their website look credita...

The World’s Oldest Living Person

Image taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk/ The world’s oldest living person is a Japanese woman name Yone Minagawa , 114 born in 1893. She took the title after Emma Tillman passed away in January 2007. And the oldest living man is Tomoji Tanabe , 111 is also from Japan. As for the oldest person uptodate is Jeanne Calment , a French woman, 122, who passed away in August of 1997. My Thoughts: It's amazing to see people live that long. If you take a look at the list of the oldest person , many of them are females. I wonder why that is. There are many factors contributing to living a long life besides good health and a good diet. It could also be the living environment, the culture and also the attitude the person carries. Another thing that has me thinking is that some of the world's oldest people live in Japan. There must be something about their culture or their diet or any other factor that might have contributed. Do I think I will live long? Maybe if I start to exercise... an...

Is It Just Me or ..Andy Quach looks like Vy!

I randomly came across the picture below of singer Andy Quach and I thought he looks like Vy Nguyen. Seriously, if you look closer or if you seen enough of pictures of Vy. They do look alike? Yea? One or the other is the opposite version of each other maybe. Okay. I admit it; maybe I’m too bored… Nah. By the way I was watching Van Son 36 earlier and finally finished so I will have the review up hopefully tomorrow. For the time being enjoy the pictures below… Andy Quach.. Who's hotter? Vy Nguyen..

The Rebel - Dòng Máu Anh Hùng

"Sometimes the greatest battle is the batte of hearts" "1920s. Vietnam under colonial French ruling. Anti-French rebellions emerge all over the country to disrupt the foreign occupiers. In respond, the colonialist employed units of Vietnamese agents to track and destroy these rebels. The film follows the journey of LE VAN CUONG, a French cultured undercover elite. Although branded with a perfect track record, Cuong's inner conscience is troubled by the sea of Vietnamese blood he had spilled to uphold a French washed ideal. Following an assassination of a high ranking French, Cuong is assigned to seek and kill the notorious leader of the resistance. Cuong encounters VO THANH THUY, a relentless revolutionary fighter and the daughter of the rebel leader. Cuong's superior intends for him to use Thuy as a mean to get to her father but Cuong soon has feelings for her. Thuy's patriotism ignites conflicts between Cuong's consciousness and his cultured faith. Will...

Time 2 Sing Along: Chuyện Chàng Cô Đơn

Chuyen Chang Co Don is a good song, but there are not many singers who can sing the song well. I think Mai Tien Dung sings the best out of all the singers I heard. Listen to the song below by many artists and judge for yourself. Enjoy. Download the song by Hua Vy Van Download the song by Dj Hoang Bach Download the song by ACM Download the song by Mai Tien Dung *Please report any broken links [updated 3/29/11] Title: Chuyện Chàng Cô Đơn Bao nhiêu ngày qua tình yêu sao còn xa hỡi người Cô đơn mình ta chờ mong một ngày kia em đến Khắp nhân gian tiếng ca chan hoà Dù nghe chuyện tôi rất buồn Hứa đi em sẽ không hững hờ chuyện tình tôi. ĐK: Chuyện một chàng cô đơn mãi tìm cuộc tình xa xôi quá Để biển sóng cuốn trôi đi tháng năm tuổi xanh Vì thật lòng anh chỉ có một chuyện tình chưa dám nói Nào hãy hứa đi em sẽ không hững hờ. Em ơi lặng nghe mùa xuân đang về đây rất gần Xuân trong lòng ta dịu dàng con tim lên tiếng Khắp nhân gian tiếng ca chan hoà Dù nghe chuyện tôi r...

Video: Tu Quyen - Nu Hong Mong Manh

Hi everyone. So I’m supposed to do a review on Van Son in Taiwan and do a post on artists’ children but I’ve been a bit lazy and tired. Instead I’m doing another video post. This video is a very old one from Tinh Production when Tu Quyen first appeared singing “Nu Hong Mong Manh.” I couldn’t find the exact video but this is close enough, a karaoke version. Tu Quyen is one of favorite singers, and in the future I will do an artist’s profile on her. Enjoy.

The Growth of Vietnamese Music Industry & Myspace Trend

I remembered back in the days, especially when I was in high school. It was really hard to find any information on Vietnamese artists. All the things I got were old photos from their youth days or bad quality pictures scan from CD covers. There were some interviews here and there that I got from vietscape.com and that were it. The problem is because America is not our home country. We are just settlers here in America and of course that creates a problem for many things. I am just happy that we got this far and we are able to have music videos in our own language and a TV channel like SBTN (Saigon Broadcasting Television Network) that caters to the Vietnamese community. It is a progress for our community to have our own thing. Entertainment is a big deal, without it we would be very lonely and sad because it is a form of communication and a way to keep our traditions going and to promote our heritage as well as pass it down to the younger generations that may be lost growing up in ...
