Im not talking about the voices or what not. I know there are hmong people who can sing... its just that their that songs sucks. The music, the lyrics, its too juvenile, or has been done by lots of other hmong people and failed.
Anywho, why would I want to hear someone who sounds like Christina or Alicia, when I can listen to the the actual artist? What I am saying is that these Hmong artist should do their own thing and not try to be "cool" or "sound" like another american celeb. They should just work with what they got, and not try to make it sound like another thing that has already been done. Know what I mean?
You know, this doesn't just apply to Hmong people, its applys to Asia in general. Like take Minwoo (Don't hate, I think the guys talented and I don't hate him or anything) for example. Why can't Minwoo just be Minwoo, why does he try to be like Justin Timberlake or Usher? Why can't he just do his own thing? Why does he try to be something that has already been done, and exsits? I mean, think about it. It makes sense but... If you wanna make it big and your not white, you should do your own thing. Like Shakira, she is spanish(I think), does she try to sound like Madonna or someone white? No, She does her own thing. Thats what got her to where she is today. She has her own style and such.
Don't even call me a hater b/c this is a fact. Look at all those Asian celeb trying to make it big in the U.S. when they are doing something that has already been done by aother person or still exsist. ( Don't even talk about Utada, Girls got mad talent, unique, she has her own thing, problem was her music wasn't catchy enough I would say. I think she should give it another shot.) Anywho, People like Jet Li, and Jackie Chan, they bring in their own thing, thats what made them big. Think about it. Most of the famous asian in America did their own thing. No asian is ever gonna get famous b/c they can sing like Chirstina or Alicia. thats not enough.
whoooaa.... I better stop before I write an essay.
Anywho, Mad props to old Hmong folks with the traditional songs. Their keeping it real too. lol ... and uh, yes sounder are old, but if you listen to their music, they got the voice and the lyrics are really good.
Paradise to me, is a joke. :: runs away ::
I guess it's me and you agaist all the others..
OK! NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE HERE, HMONG OR NON-HMONG!!
An incident awhile back caused me to HATE Hmong music. It was at Solid07 Forums. I was just stating that i didn't like Hmong Music, and it dragged on. then OMG, i am called a Hmong Hater, i mean, i just said that i didn't like Hmong Music, and all of a sudden i am a HMONG HATER?!?!?! It turns out that my cousin too was yelling at me. Aniways. that incident just really led me to believe that i really hate Hmong music. I know, I should base my final thoughts on such a stupid little incident, But then during that time when i was really angry about that, I was like criticizing every single thing about the Hmong movies and songs.. and it turns out that... YES HMONG MUSIC isn't anywhere near great music.
Yeah sure, Hmong music has come a long way right? But it still has A VERY LONG way to go! I mean, Paradise? That's a real joke! the hmong version of BSB?! Haha. i remember when my friends were all drooling over their pictures and songs and their names, like Mr Right, or Mr. Smarty or seomthing along those lines.. I didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about. Still to this day i can't remember any of their names.. ANiways.. yeah getting off topic..
Well.. Hmm.. Their CD covers. Can't they just use a little money to hire a professional to make their album covers? and their music, I think they are getting better at this area, but i think that they don't know the ART of MUSIC yet. They should take classes and learn notes and stuff like that. I mean, i don't remember any hmong guy in Paradise or whatever who can actually play the guitar SUPER GREAT like little kids that i know. [compare their voices to the girl in THE SCHOOL OF ROCK!] OK.. MUSIC isn't just the lyrics and the voice, it's the MUSIC, TUNES, and the BEATS too! SO far, there is nothing really CATCHY in hmong music that really catches your ear. Professionals usually find that perfect beat ot tune that will catch your ears attention and somehow control you body to move to it's beat. I've heard nothing like that from the GENERAL HMong musicians.
Ok. Here is a TINY list of hmong people that i use to listen to, from like 76145 years ago..
Green Card, Heard two of his songs
Destiny, liked their song for that FRIENDS JP/KR drama.
PARADISE: none, because i always thought they were OVERRATED!
Sounders: NO idea what their songs are called..
Lue Yaj: some of his older songs are good
daub thoj [SP??] : I just HATE that B!tch!! because she RUDELY dissed my cousin's band when we invited her to one of our parties. Too bad i wasn't there to beat the living SH!T out of her, but, seriously if i see her in person, she'll get my SUPER UPPER-CUT!! ERR!! she better beware when she comes to my state again!!! [you tell her about me if you know her!]
Xanakee: they were alright. but hmong-france is a turnoff for me [No offence] because a lot of Paradise members always sang French in their songs, and it was SUPER ANNOYING!! They sounded so concieted and GAY!! But they are a good group. Good music, even if they stole it from other people.
Whyteshadows had one or two good songs.. and that was it for all their 78264395786 songs that they released.
OK! YOu know those Lue Yang songs. the ones with those actual good beats. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY CHINESE!!
Sorry to burst your bubble, Lue, but your music was just DUBBED with your voice!
C'MON! Even the originals like Lue Yang are fakes, taking other people's music and turning them into their own!
I mean, what about their COPYRIGHTS?! You don't care about that? I hope you get sued someday!!
Oh and last but not least. MY PARENTS LOVE THIS GIRL!!
Mai Xyooj! I think that's her name. OMG.. her voice is nice sometimes but she goes overboard a lot of times!
My parents are like her SUPER FANS! They be thump'in to her music in their super cool Toyota Tacomas and Toyota Vans [forgot the name of the van] .... haha.. It's funny, but her music is just DUBBED JUNK! make your own music please!
Yah! Don't Attack, because if you do then that's just gonna get this thread closed! and please don't PM me about this.
Just post your opinions about my opinions or something like that. BUT PLEASE! Keep it nice, because being mean is UNATTRACTIVE!![whoever read all of that, raise you hand!]
*passes out candy for those who raised their hands!*
Aniways... Yeah.. DON"T ATTACK ME!
[all you loyal hmong fans, why are all your banners and stuff all Japanese or Korean and not Hmong?
Is Hmong Entertainment not good enough to be on your sig? Just tell me the truth...............]
P.S. IF you haven't noticed, I AM HMONG and PROUD OF IT..
Just not super proud [at all] of how some hmongs DUB COPYRIGHTED stuff from other countries.
