Title: What do you think of this video?
Post by Laosnow on 13th Dec, 2011 at 8:00pm
Does any one know anything about the words in the song, or anything about the singer or the actors?

Or what the story of the video is?

Toun Diva is her name, she's new to the Lao entertainment scene.

The song is about a love story, the acting in the video speaks for itself. It's not my kind of music.

Nearly all Lao music videos features actors talking or playing with their stupid mobile phones, and it reflects the way Lao society has become.

Yeah it sucks that a lot of people in society these day are attached to there cell phone. But then again you can't really blame anyone. We pay are bills, get on the internet and do many things that can't be done years ago. The only thing that annoying trying to have a conversation with someone and there texting or surfing the web.

You can say that again.

I don't mind people using their mobile/cell phone to talk, text or use the internet if it is important, but they should excuse themselves when they need to answer their phone.

It's really annoying when you're talking to someone and they ignore you completely everytime their phone rings, as though talking to someone over the phone is more important than physically talking to the person who is with them.

It's just as bad talking to someone, while at the same time they are fiddling with their phones to check text messages or social media activities. It's rude.



Gadget that people in Laos are obsessed with

Sometimes Lao singers make it big for a short period of time, then they become a has been.

Like who?

A has-been? I can't even recall anyone who has even "been there".

As for the video, we've come a long way. No longer are we shooting in rice paddies where once upon a time performing in rags was considered chic. ;D 
We even have cut scenes nowadays.

Well, like Ting Phailavanh for example. She's a nothing these days.

Obviously she was never world renowned, but she used to be very big in Laos. She has "been there" for Lao standards.

What is she doing nowadays? living off her riches?

I don't really follow her, but she resurrected her singing career in Japan at one stage.

Japan! WTF.

You're not going to tell me she could serenade in Japanese, are you?

How did her comeback fare?

Title: Re: What do you think of this video?

It was a success, but she is not that popular these days.

I've never been a fan of Ting Phailavanh. She doesn't have an appearance of an innocent likeable girl, and she is a bit of a try hard when she sings, but I admire her commitment and determination.

Sounds like you've been keeping tabs.

What language was she singing in during her comeback?

What does the highlighted supposed to mean? ;D
I googled her and she looks quite innocent.

It means she looks stuck up, she reminds me of Victoria Beckham. She will probably hate me for saying that to her, but I like to speak my mind. Look at singers like Kai Souvanuan from Overdance, Alexandra Bounxouei and even Judy Garland, they have a sweet and innocent look.

Ting Phailavanh sings in Lao. She was one of the biggest stars in Laos who has been around for years, many Laotians overseas also know her so I'm surprised you needed to google her.
