Ho Ngoc Ha shines at Asia Song Festival in Seoul

At this year Asia Song Festival held in Seoul, South Korea, Vietnam representative Ho Ngoc Ha outshined previous reps such as singer My Tam and Ho Quynh Huong. During her rehersal performance, the show director has praised HGH and said that she is beautiful and has a great body.

For those of you who don't know her, HGH was a model before she became a prefessional singer. She is now one of the most popular pop singer in Vietnam. For her to be representing Vietnam at an international event such as this shows her status in the entertainment industry.

Check out Ho Ngoc Ha's speech at ASF on the 19th Sept. She can speak english....wow!

Bao Thi sings Myolie Wu's song

Vietnamese singers have been accused of lack of originality. Many in the past have copied Chinese music and write Vietnamese lyrics for the songs. Not to name any names here but my question is... Is this acceptable? Here is an example of a modified Chinese song to Vietnamese.

This Chinese version is by Moylie Wu

This is the Vietnamese version by Bao Thy

If I am a songer writer I would not be happy if someone copy my music and write different lyrics for them. But as a listener I don't care if the music was a copy as long I understand what the singers are singing. Sometime you find that by trying to fit certain words to the sound of the tune the song become completely meaningless.
