Chanlekkana is not a singer....she's not even really an actress....her job is to look pretty in karaoke videos.

regardless of whether or not ya'll care for the way nop bayarith looks like.....you can't deny that he has a wonderful voice.....and by the way....nearly ninety percent of the cambodian population is mixed with chinese/indian/vietnamese...menikani....you're not pure yourself so shut up.
sombattJeat
for comedien
ney Kuy and [VangDoer (or ney 22)--don't count him, he's gone]. Why???? every time i laugh, it add one year to my life. laugh.gif

for singer
Ms. Hum Syvon and SiThol. Why???? they the one who remind all Khmer, that their culture and tradition never die in a form of traditional music. They remind us we are original, we are Khmer.

There are many many more.

oooppp i allow to choose one person only right!?

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.

BattambangBoy
Definitely Kung Nai, the amazing blind charpei dong veng player who lives in the Tonle Bassac.

Looks very like Ray Charles as well!!!

I'd agree though on Prach. He's a good guy and a great role model. I've seen him work in PP and he's great with children but also respects elder people too.

You gonna tell me he looks Khmer? It's pretty fcuken obvious he is Chinese.



the problem with us khmer is that if your skin is not dark or if your eye look like geicko's eye. you are not khmer. this must change. if you are born in cambodia. you are khmer. agree? it s hard to find pure khmer today.

Oh sorry. Well which Cambodian celebrity do you think should Ben feature on asiafinest?



Duch Sophea of course! She's absolutely drop dead gorgeous love2.gif and has a little bit of a fiesty attitude which makes her unique. Suvanant Kongying (Thai actress) can't top Duch Sophea icon_wink.gif .

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)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=PYh6JwstDj8&...=nop%20bayarith

Linda (Originally Chinese)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=n8rgePa_8Gw&...h=khmer%20music


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 ..

exactly, which goes back to my statement again - culture is more important than race or bloodline .. i assure you this, finding a pure ethnic khmer is almost impossible -- cause almost everyone who's khmai that i know has some or little of chinese blood or others -- that alone makes them unpure khmer .. so get it straight, if you're born and cultured in cambodian culture, you are khmai.
crew.
Right on bro! Well said. And yeah, preab sovat did got me into khmer music, but that was way back when.

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

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!

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 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. biggthumpup.gif
