SG Speaker Corner

[Vidboy10]

Sorry to change the disscusion.
I'm currious is SG-Pop is any good there?

 

[benjaminlibl]

No.

 

[mrfatso]

don think so, never got into SG-pop, actually for that matter, i don even care, if there's an advertisement and if the person voice sounds nice enough, i'll buy it.

by the way, anyone know why is stephenie sun still our so-called singapore pop queen? I mean its been a long time since she even release anything...

 

[xoinx]

is she still regarded as pop queen? i guess its a title that they can't just take away until a worthy successor comes along...

i think singapore has many talented singers and indie bands! just very few successful entertainers. the only singapore pop i can think of is national day songs, and I love the song HOME!!! so to me, singapore pop is not all bad haha.

sadly, most of singaporean singers have to head to taiwan/china to succeed since singapore is just too small a market. so it ends up with us not having our own style of music, since producers, lyricists, songwriters etc mostly come from taiwan. i guess the same can be said for m'sia... taiwan is just too dominant in the music scene so unless you head there you cannot really breakthrough into the mainstream markets.

 

[mrfatso]

ya i guess so, hmm, i think i know why she is a so-called queen. its because she just sits there do nothing, and probably delegate stuff for her staff to do.

but stll, its kinda true that taiwan is just too dominant, like for example, ocean ou, at first i thought he was a taiwanese, but turns out he is a singaporean

 

[Domination]

Pop sucks. Most Singapore music fails. So SG + Pop =

But I used to like JJ Lin in the past when I was younger, though a lot of his material sucks now and are repititive. Stephanie Sun was cool, but never liked her.

I think the only good Singapore music even close to Pop is Electrico's Indie Pop Rock/ Punk music.

 

[mysterio123]

i think electrico sucks. i think singapore underground music scene got most hope. example like wormrot and impiety.

 

[Vidboy10]

You guys need more industrial bands!

 

[mysterio123]

dead.

 

[Domination]

dead.

Speaking of dead, I remember the National Day rally.

When PM Lee was talking about the race/religion stuff. About the Chinese family's funeral and the Malay family's wedding.

Anybody know where I can watch the rest of the rally? I missed most of it except this part.

 

[mrfatso]

don ask me, i stop watching the rally like a few years ago, got bored after realizing that every year is the same old topics told atad in a different way and maybe 1 or 2 slightly different issue tossed into the mix.

 

[xoinx]

@dom: have you tried here?

 

[Domination]

I went to the Prime Minister's Office's youtube channel.

Speaking of that, I am actually pleased to see Singapore politics and governance has actually gone onto the net. I shows how Singapore is actually adapting to the future, especially since we are a big cosmopolitan country, and many S'poreans have went overseas.

 

[mrfatso]

i just realised that advent children is shown tonight, hmm, i wonder how many kids will go Oo, new FF movie, nice

and then go around tell friend, hey got watch the new advent children movie and NOT realised that this is an old version, the newer version would be the Final Fantasy: Advent Children complete, speaking of which, i got to start watching that completed version, its been on my desktop for months

edit: rather than bumping this, wow, i just read the post, and PM has a youtube channel? Any link?

 

[xoinx]

saw this on youtube... brings back old memories

 

[mrfatso]

haha, wow, this really brings back memories, and now that my lessons are over, i guess i can wake up earlier and try and catch a few episodes of sesame street

and thanks for the video, at least now i don feel as shitty as before about my future

 

[xoinx]

shitty about your future? what happened?? someone dropped a bomb on you??

 

[mrfatso]

nah, just that i probably need to retake my multi-core programming module, and i don feel like i be able to pass this for a long while.

 

[mysterio123]

singapore bands and ndprallies are a real bore. u all need to get back on the manga track.

LETS TALK ANIME

 

[Domination]

PM has a youtube channel? Any link?

PMOSingapore Channel

Its just the Prime Minsiter's Office site, only that its for youtube.

US has the white house site too... Though I don't know if they have youtube. Politics is actually all over theweb. Especially in Obama's campaign. I'm suprised.
