Which Cambodian celebrities should I feature on AsiaFinest? Options

[Goombaking209]

Naw naw, you guys lets not put celebrities from Sok Khmer. Lets put Prach a rapper in LBC. Hes trying to get his name out there. I think we should put him as Asia Finests celebrity. Just check out his songs and his page.

His song is on my topic, click the link and check it out

yeah, but how do you pronounce his name? is it like..prahh, as in money or something different?

[sbeechan]

should it matter at all if you're ethnic chinese? he sings in cambodian, his name is cambodian, yet he's still chinese? I think if you're cultured in cambodian to the full where you forget your langauge and have no ties to your country of origin, you are no longer considered what your country of origin is . .. culture is more important than blood, and it's unfair to say he's not cambodian, even if he does look chinese.

My vote is preap sovat!!! he got me into khmai music at it's all time lowest and lamest and made cambodian songs listenable for me. so he definately needs a spot ..

I agree totally with your statement, Cambodia needs unity not division..... and about Preap Sovat also.

[Goombaking209]

so... nobody cares about cambodian celebs being featured anymore or what?

[Dara]

Sok Sophea for the win.

[Kambolizhuz]

I want Sok Sophea for Male and Veth Rathana for girl.

[sbeechan]

I think the admin forgot about us.

[Goombaking209]

How about Madidada? He is on the top of the Charts in Cambodia and, Overseas people adore him. Not only that he writes his own music. And his voice is also amazing!

My favorite male singer would have to be Nop Bayarith. He's got a great voice and he doesn't scream like a choked chicken like Preab Savat.

Here's some of my favorite songs by Nop:

Nea-sa Chum Chong (I think it's a viet song originally)

Linda (Originally Chinese)

Music and singing is an art form. Good, bad or ugly is rather subjective, not factual. Each singer represent a different spectrum. I wouldn't resort to knocking one to promote the other, it's preference. Some people like choked chicken.

It's funny how some people like to critize those that don't have talent cuzz they don't write their own songs... Mayb you should open up your eyez and look at majority of singers in the US Entertainment business that actually write the own songs... Only a few do and most of them get song written for them... I think you should start reading the inside of the CD case more... A lot of Artist don't write their songs most of them just sing it for the writers... So don't b quicc to judge them cuzz they don't write their songs... If you were so talented why don't you do your own Karaoke album for the world to see... Sorry if I offended anyone but I'm just tired of seeing our own communities looking down on one another... We can do better that... Just be happy that we got Khmer artists/actor(ess) performing for our entertainment...

Seem like some of us have something against Chinese... I wonder why...

Preach on brotha, you make a lot of sense.

[Goombaking209]

dear BEN, please feature Preap Sovath as a cambodian star on AF.com .. he's so popular, he toured the US and expects to make a comeback

I nominate the Khmer rapper name "PRACH". Does anybody here know him or heard of him.

[crew.]

^yes. he has good lyrics, but not the voice for it IMO.

[ham_let]

how amny times has dengue fever been mentioned? i want dengue fever to be on AF

[Goombaking209]

^ are you responding in the right thread?

[lemongrass]

^yes. he has good lyrics, but not the voice for it IMO.

I heard one of his song on NPR News and it captivated me. I agreed with you about his voice but I like it. I preffered a genuine artist with lousy voice than a bunch of parrots/copy cats with beautiful voice. I think its just me.
