Thu Phuong’s Representative Speaks Out!

Dung Taylor who manages all of Thu Phuong ’s work in the entertainment biz spoke out during a press conference about the sex tape allegation. He claimed that the person seen in the video is a Japanese girl involved in the adult film industry not singer Thu Phuong. Also the allegation is use to smear the singer’s name. In the end he urges the media to help out, especially the website Take2Tango that first released the information to make actions to clear up the misunderstanding. Watch the conference video here My Thoughts: There is a similarity, but I doubt the person to be Thu Phuong and indeed someone did want to ruin her name and career. Recently there is lots of hype over sex tapes and such. At first, it could well be an accident but more and more celebrities are doing it for publicity. What are your thoughts?

First off, young TV actress from Vietnam, “Nhat Ky Vang Anh” starred Hoang Thuy Linh got her news blast not long ago for the sex tape released all over the Internet with an ex boyfriend.

Many others had also recorded the Vietnamese version such as veteran Khanh Ly and Vietnam group AC&M title “Chu Nhat Buon” Rezso Seress wrote Gloomy Sunday as a result of a one-way love for a woman who didn’t return his love.

Download English Version by Billie Holiday Download the Viet Version by Nguyen Hong Nhung & Thuy Huong *Please report any broken links [updated 3/29/11] Chủ Nhật Xám (Gloomy Sunday) Từng đêm buồn thao thức, nằm cô đơn, và nhớ thương anh! Nhớ anh từng phút trong cuộc sống mơ hồ giữa dòng đời. Những bông hồng trắng nơi mộ vắng, khóc thương khi mất anh. Cỗ xe buồn bã đưa người đến đây, cũng khuất mờ. Chờ em, người yêu ơi, chờ em, ta cùng chết bên nhau. Dưới chân tượng đá, thiên thần khóc cho tình yêu chúng ta. Với... bao nỗi sầu! Hoàng hôn dần buông xuống, mình ta uống từng chén men say! Cớ chi mình kéo lê cuộc sống bao ngày chủ nhật buồn. Tiếng kinh từ giã, không buồn bã tiễn em ra nghĩa trang. Những bông hồng thắm tươi rực rỡ vui mừng bên mộ phần. Giờ không còn mơ, trong cõi chết em được sống bên anh. Đến hơi thở cuối, em cầu chúc cho tình yêu chúng ta... đừng xót xa! Trong mơ, dường như bóng anh trở về. Em mơ, ta gặp nhau, anh ngủ yên, trong lòng em, ...

Trinh Hoi's Last Justifying Article

There has been many of conflict between Trinh Hoi and the Vietnamese community every since the boycotting in Australia . I came across his article and saw much sense in what he wrote. There is one paragraph where he really said what I wanted to say and sum up much of the dispute between the Vietnamese communities overseas. "... nhất là đối với các bác các chú không đồng tình với tôi, tôi mong là các bác cứ xem tôi là một trong nhiều người cháu có những tư tưởng độc lập, khác biệt được lớn lên ở Hải Ngoại nên chúng ta không thể nào có cùng một quá khứ, một ý niệm, và một cách giải quyết cho những vấn đề liên quan đến hai chữ Việt Nam. Mong là nếu các bác cho giới trẻ là tương lai của cộng đồng thì câu hỏi sẽ là có phải đã đến lúc các bác cần lắng nghe tiếng nói của giới trẻ hay chưa? Hoặc nếu không thể lắng nghe thì cũng tôn trọng ý kiến của họ và không tự suy diễn để chụp mũ những người bất đồng ý kiến với mình? Chúng ta cũng cần phải hỏi là tại sao có nơi chống ...
