Yes, I am making a point about how people from everywhere can copy/remake/cover something from ANYWHERE

in response to this thread:

http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185339

which is infuriating me to no end because Huang Xiaoming's name is being dragged through the mud when he worked 10 hard years in the entertainment industry to get where he is now just to be called a copy of Bi/Lee Hyori.

I don't even have to say how ironic that is because:

1) People get so annoyed when Americans call Bi's style a rip off of Justin Timberlake.

2) The whole debacle with Hyori/Britney Spears/Do Something.

Even if Huang Xiaoming HADN'T paid for the rights to Toc Toc Toc, which he did btw, then I'd say it's just karma.


And now to the fun stuff:

I love the original version of this song, I also like the covers I've heard, but the original song stays the best ..
Gosh, I really have memories of the original one, I remember seeing it on TV back in the days, and hearing it also when I was on vacation in Turkey and stuff..
Btw I'm dutch but I've never heard of the dutch version before O_o;.. But I can see from the title it's a parody (since 'dik' means 'fat' in dutch)..
