The band's name S.H.E comes from the initial letter of names of the three members who are Selina, Hebe and Ella. It is funny that Jonna also chooses the name SHE for her blog:)<br />S.H.E started out by covering songs of a German pop group called Sweetbox and released some English albums covering many famous English songs in which S.H.E has a pretty sound pronunciation. They have many original Chinese hit songs too.淡淡花香https://www.blogger.com/profile/13009645936504046941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-86249192881941098912009-07-19T04:36:29.015+08:002009-07-19T04:36:29.015+08:00MayDay

Having to live aboard all our lives. Most asians speak half/half in our daily converastions mixing english and chinese into our conversation since we are so used to speaking both languages. Yes, alot of songs have mix together phrases of english into the songs and sounds quite normal to the asisn population. I agree with Mantse that it's a bit embarassing to see how others perceive as funny what we see as normal. No hard feelings though. Being made fun of in our dialect has been a normal ;DDaveNYCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-78112594507822829952009-07-17T23:39:16.298+08:002009-07-17T23:39:16.298+08:00Really? they mix it up?

He sings with such emotion that his beautiful voice certainly proves that music is universal. Some others I enjoy are (of course) Wu Bai and China Blue, Wang Feng, and Zheng Jun. I could go on........I am a big fan of Chinese artists.<br /><br />PS: Don't forget to check out Qi Qin's sister-Qi Yu (Chyi Yu). She has the voice of an angel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963450309472455743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-17526222533170628182009-07-17T21:59:04.267+08:002009-07-17T21:59:04.267+08:00This is another topic to my interest.

I also recommend Jay Chou (周杰伦), the pop king in Mandarin music industry for almost a decade. His every album is a great hit! And he never put English into his lyrics.淡淡花香https://www.blogger.com/profile/13009645936504046941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-40182241853734656072009-07-17T16:53:02.480+08:002009-07-17T16:53:02.480+08:00hey people, thanks for advices!! :) We'll have...hey people, thanks for advices!! :) We'll have plenty to choose from for our next music panel!Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-82454451412725636732009-07-17T16:04:25.301+08:002009-07-17T16:04:25.301+08:00as a hongkonger, i feel so embrassing that Canton-...as a hongkonger, i feel so embrassing that Canton-pop give this feeling to you...

I think they also mention fried rice and some other foods. Not sure what it's about, but my sister and I crack up everytime we hear it. Also, there is a funny song by Jin that's a rap about going to Dim Sum. He's an American though, so I don't know if that counts. (It's called Yum Dom Cha, drink some tea in Cantonese).Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361862179622357250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-29073415946485976932009-07-17T13:04:07.554+08:002009-07-17T13:04:07.554+08:00Japanese people love to put English in their song....Japanese people love to put English in their song. Most of the time, they don't even bother looking up what they write. Even when it makes sense, their Englis pronunciation is so bad that you have to actually see the lyrics on paper to realize it was English all along. Sometimes tho, you get something good.
