*wavey* I was karaoking this weekend and as trying to learn how to sing 五月天 - 志明與春嬌. Awesome song !!! Even though I don't know Taiwanese, I thought many of the words sounded very similar to Cantonese. My new goal is to learn some Taiwanese now lol. Anyone from Taiwan here, either originally or currently? What part? [youtube]DIdc4xTRZgo[/youtube]
Oh well, might as well close the thread then >.< Yes, both Fukien Wah & Toi Yu are subtypes of Mun Nam Wah so they are very similar.
Cool. Not many Cantonese like Taiwanese music. Same here (Canto listening to Taiwanese music). I find Taiwanese is much more similar to Canto in pronunciation than to Mandarin.
Never heard of him, but thanks for the vid upload. It is interesting, tho I don't listen to Asian rap much. He looks like one of the rappers of that Korean rap "Dae Han Min Gook"
no worries. he isn't a "pure" taiwanese -- more of an ABT (American born Taiwanese, if there's such a thing. lol.) Machi is a group, but now more of a label. love "Five Hundred" << i enjoy 吳宗憲's comedic impression of him. and Mayday's older albums are classic. can't forget about the hugest Taiwanese star -- Jay Chou -- [youtube]YloRfljPeqI[/youtube]
Lol, I catch most of his TV shows here and there all the time. Have you been to his restaurant in Taipei? Is it still there? Jay Chou is a good song writer with a very unique style that I like very much. But he doesn't sing very well and it's difficult to understand what he's saying. Nevertheless, I play his stuff when I'm driving to work all the time...puts me in a good mood. By the way, I've been looking for a copy of this video for a while. Thanks =)
i agree. and i'll be more blunt. his singing style sux. if he wasn;t such a musical genius in composition -- his career would have die after his first ablum. no i haven't been there. i heard what about it -- suppose to be very different and unique. have you been there before, ribsandbbqbeef?
I went there a few years back and it's in a basement of a building. When you go down, it looks like a dungeon. You can choose to eat in a jail cell or in the common area. While you eat, the staff plays games with the customers. I won a polaroid camera lol....
