15 Years after TAI SHA (太傻) came out .. pls comment 4 me k?

Hi … I consider myself as someone who enjoys blogging a lot but these days I kinda been doing less of it … mainly bcos I’ve been busy and also bcos I dun like to talk about the part of my life where I get to be on stage as an entertainer (people who know me well will know I’m not ‘glam’ at all in real life .. haha), anyway doing promo on many many stages is wat I’ve been (busy busy) doing most part of the last few months (wow!!! time flies again!) … so I guess wat I rather write about is something which i enjoy … about more personal stuffs like my experience outside the life of being an artiste and especially my music discovery journey … I remember that’s how I started to write my first blog .. it was about meeting new friends, sharing my music and also learning more about Friendster, blogs and the internet .. haha!

Anyway, today I wanna talk about my experience on ONE particular song which I had to learn last December (LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH), I was told tat this song was very very popular back in 1993 or 1994 (when I was not even 10 years old, hhaha!) so it was like listening to a brand new song for the first time … and I was told I’ll be singing this song in front of more than 50,000 people!!! (it turned out to be more than 65,000!!) … It was the toughest thing for me to do so far … well anyway, I DID IT and it was a wonderful feeling … and the feedback from many many people was overwhelming … I got so many positive messages about this and asking me to SING THIS SONG on my next album !!!

So here I am … sincerely asking for YOUR OPINION, do you think I should perform this song on my next album??? I’m thinking of doing a DEMO (haha .. just like how I used to do it the last time) but I really hope to get some of YOUR COMMENTS .. can you HELP ME? The ORIGINAL singers of this song, ERIC MOO and MINDY KE (although I’m not very familiar wit most of their work) performed the song in 1993 so EXCEPTIONALLY WELL and I really feel BIG PRESSURE if I were to sing it 15 years later in 2008 … so PLEASE PLEASE share your thoughts with me ok?? Heheh … right now, the only version I have is this YOUTUBE version, it’s not very clear (and very short) but I hope you can have a listen ok?

Thanks again so so much ya!!

Karen

PS: I'll b back with my DEMO soon i hope ya .. !!! bye!

the KAREN KONG tat i know is confident wif herself...so jie, u know wat i mean..

u know how much i love tis song when 1st time i listen u sing LIVE...n i still remember i use to dedicate tis song n ask u to sing again in d next day....

so d conclusion is, i will agree u to sing tis song...perhaps, i miss d moment when listen u singing LIVE tat day....d song out of sudden become so great n nice wif ur good vocal...

i still remember i do tell u tat im pround of ur performance on tat day n my frenz are keep "puji" u for FEW days...

so...d ans is clear from me right???lolz

gambateh jie...

[Tzia Shen]

Singing a song from more than 15 years ago would be a huge challenge...but I believe u will be able to do it..
A demo of this song would be good and of course nice with ur strong vocals and voice.
But singing this song in ur next upcoming album,I would slightly disagree,because honestly it would feel like a repetition of the song,and it lacks originality..it would seem like a copy.Unless it's modified or changed in a way..
This is what i think,hope u don feel offended.

[-HiReNo-]

wao！ karen, i don ever think that u got so powerfull voice. u really gip me a shock! but that was pretty good for u to performed tis song.

i had listen tis song b4, and that singer is 巫启闲.u have more powerfull voice than him.(i mean it)keep it on ~ i'm waiting for ur lastest video demo！+u+u

for ur new album,i had same opinion with Tzia Shen.but is ok to gip it a try. u have our support.

hope u will come to Batu Pahat again ! hehe

[إبراهيم]

Just go for it.

[Kian Hock]

Hi Karen nice to hear from U again. From my point of view, this TAI SHA (太傻) song has a very high pitch which most of them can't perform it well. But U did it greatly. Just that need to put more feeling on this song and control the pitch well, than it will be wonderful.

So happy to hear about your next album news. From your current album, there was repetition song too, it was 'In Love Again' . But U sang it SOOOo well even better than the original singer and I like it so much (currently is my HP ring tone). As long it is a good song, why not? Just go ahead. Everyone love it so much.

As conclusion, it will be great to put this song in your next album. Since this song was very popular and it might bring U to a higher level in the music industry.
Karen +U +U....
Looking forward for your Demo and next album.

Will always be with U!!
Take care!!

Best regards,
Kian Hock

[Lydiaclo]

Hey, Karen...i like the way you sing the song...give yourself more confident..i believe you will do better than them...haha...so gambateh...

Labuan always support you...

[Tang]

Hi Karen it's a good news to know that u r collecting songs for your next album, "太傻" it was my favorite song then, I loved both version by "柯以敏 " & "巫啟賢". it's really a nice song, i think u perform it in live quite good & I'm sure it will be better if u perform it in studio & with the recomposed background music.

Looking forward to ur new album. good luck & remember impossible is possible.

[風]

A demo? interesting. Could hardly wait, maybe I can give some comment when I pay my visit at the composer's workstation. Even Casey himself complimented you, heh heh...
Keep the confidence, we know that you wouldn't let us down.

[fabulaiciashi]

karen , u can try it...Maybe u will be famous to oversea because of this song...

[Qiaofang]

heyhey~ long time no see~ =b

As a member of ur BIG family...i would say why not!! Cause no matter its 巫啟賢's version or our princess's version...i believe dat both version r going to be 2 totally different "song"...
the way u n him sings r different, the vocal of both of u r different too~ soo... dont really need to giv urself soo much of pressure..jus sing it! ;)
erm...a small suggestion from me.. hav a slower version...it may turn out better?!?! =? i dont noe...jus my feeling..=b

ohh ya.. ur demo... PLZ come out fast!!! i believe not oni me...THERE'S A WHOLE FAMILY WAITING TILL NECK "LONG" LE!!! X)
meanwhile tk care n Smiles oways wit u~ ^^

Qiaofang^^
(ps. jus remember..no matter wat...u hav a big family behind..^^)

[Steven]

Go ahead :) It's good to listen to the old songs sometimes :) and I beliv u can bring in ur own style while singing this song..

Looking forward for ur demo ya!

[mAnGO]

i really hope u can perform tis song in ur nx problem..becos i think u like it very much..n besides u sing tis songs very spiritful , full of feeling..very 100% agree wit u tat u perform tis song..u r very lihai , so pro.....karen

[Ultimate Henry]

i know this song, n it made eric moo shoot to stardom back in those days.
i think that it'll b a good idea as u'll b bringing an old classic to a younger crowd who didn't have a chance to enjoy it. n from my knowledge of how u sing, i'm confident that u'll b adding your own talents n creativity to make this old song come to life in a more colorful way.
Go for it!

[PuRpLe_aLoNe]

hyyy..........
is very nice your pic
i'm so happy because is very divince or beyond you desire
thank you very much.....
seee on the next diary

[nicky II]

Hi...Karen...Great performance...ur voice is very nice n suit for this song..^^
U must be confident wif urself la...
Just do it...Looking forward for ur demo n new album o...XD

Ke Yun +oil +oil....^^~*
We will always support u ooo...
Stay happy n take K....=)

[Stanley Tan]

Hi Karen,
When the first time i saw you sing this song un-pluged in Melaka, i was shock that your powerful voice has stunned all the audience and i can sure that is equally as good as the original singer, Eric Moo.
Actually Eric Moo is my favourite singer because he write and sing a lot of pupular song in the 80. It is not easy to present the sound especially if u wish to sing un-plugged.
Well Done, karen. i 100% support that u put it in your demo or the next album.
Please Vote for Karen, your future Singer.

Stanley Tan

你好^^
我觉得你应该把那首歌放入你下一长专辑,因为当你在台上唱的时侯真的超有感觉.而那个时候,我第一个表情就是眼睛开很大.真是太厉害了.所以要加油!我永远支持你的!!
加油 加油 加油

[-二四九249-]

hmm.. hi!!
oh well, u have a nice voice to sing this song , and can see u really enjoy while singing this song and u r totally singing it it real well...
so no worry, u r totally a real singer!! gambateh!!

[Andrew]

Hi Karen,
Basically, singing a 15 year back songs its hard..but according what I listen in the youtube, I don't think it's very nice. You could try to make a demo and see do people love the way you sing for that song before decide anything. No Harm Trying :)

Regards,
Andrew

[PettyPanda]

哈咯,我想说15年前的感觉和15年后的感觉不一样,不同的人唱出来的感觉不一样,所以,我觉得对你来说是一个很好的发挥地方,所以,你可以唱出自己的感觉.
我相信你是行的!加油哦!!!
gambateh!^^

[EeLin]

Your voice is strong! is another version of singing this song! nice..u get the power on this song! i like it! =) as compare to the olden days. Eric moo is the guy version,and after 15 yrs,this song is perfect for u to sing it! glad to hear that!

[Nicky]

你唱的太傻版本有你的个人风格
很好听
我在YOUTUBE看到你唱解脱
我觉得也很好听
加油

[- yEhEy -]

eh?

[MiZzZ]

hi...

[Miieo]

hi karen, i like the way you perform this song, u make me wanna learn to sing this song too.. =)

[Bryan See]

Hey Karen, 'tai sha'?! never hear of that particular song. maybe u could peform it @ my academy?! hmm.. lets just see about it. good luck ya? haha..

[caleb]

Tis Song u sing it very well on the chorus part coz of ur sudden power on it ...makes the song alive bak on the chorus which it suppose to have...but b4 the chorus part Got few pitch lari and 咬字 can approve lagi on tis song ...
Do YOURSELF KAREN ..trust urself....
hope my comment can help u out on tis song for ur new album later on ...

dun scare lah anyway...sing it wit ur own style...DO YOURSELF

[Alvin Chiang]

Three words,Just do it. Take it to your next album...

[Tan]

你好你好，我个人非常赞同你把‘太傻 ’这首歌收录在你的下张专辑。
这首歌你唱很好，听过的朋友给我的都是正面的评语，就连当天在VVIP SEAT的一些歌手都赞你唱得好，声音很有爆发力，可以媲美柯以敏。。。不过咬字方面需要再努力些。。。
当天的太傻怎么听起来像REMIX版，唱得有些快，感觉少了感情与歌曲原本想传达的讯息(纯粹个人意见)，所以你要再好好斟酌看该怎么去把这首歌演绎得更完美。。。
期待你的下一张专辑。。。。
加油，我们的公主。^^
支持你！
P/S :我如果哪里说错话了，希望你别介意。

[FranXiSLaY]

Just sing it Karen..
As ur fans, we will always support u in everything u do..
Jia You o Yun Yun.. =)

[fianito]

although i didn't hear your song all but i known you are great

[Siew Yin]

You have a great voice and can reach out to others with your singing. However, i honestly feel it would be even better if you pay more attention to your higher pitches.
Wishing you all the best in your career.
Gambateh..

[FrAnKiE eNg]

i suggest u sing it... jia you...

[Siao Ching]

其实那天通过电视机欣赏也觉得很惊讶，真的很好听。
但我觉得你的问题是咬字不清，当您唱其他歌时也是如此，想要了解首歌的意境，却得用尽耳力“听”。。。辛苦。
only my personal opinion!

[123]

test aja dexh

[123]

kita hnya brcanda aja, hehehehe

[SiewChen]

wow! tis is my first time listen to ur voice in live version in youtube, i mean in concert. n ur voice is amazing, so energized. so, it will be good if u sing tat song. ^^

[rei]

hello karen, you are very beauty, can you add me in your friendster?

[Fred]

这么多留言，我还真的怀疑你有时间和心思去看完。不过，算了。不是很会说话，看到这里都是称赞你的，怕说错话被人追杀。

听了你的《太傻》，个人觉得你是为了要把这首歌演绎好而强硬性的把这首歌唱出来。尤其到了chorus的时候，感觉爆发得太快，一时承受不了。听你唱这首歌的时候感觉和你的人很不搭。。。

ps:各位，不要杀我~~

[hani]

wow...i like u so much..u very cute,smart,energic,and a lot..good luck 4u ok

[jerry]

grav na talaga ang mundo natin ngayon magulo hehehe

[Calvin]

感觉很好但这首歌是属于抒情及慢节奏。。如果在未来的album 里，放慢节奏带着抒情。。感觉一定非常棒。。

[faust3]

[Rachael Teng]

hey karen, i've heard you sang this song before during that particular concert. and I've heard you sing it today on 988 during the outdoor broadcast. I really love the way you bring out the song. Its really so wonderful, especially the high tone part. Really love it. If you think you can do it, then you definitely can. Gotta have confident in yourself. Since you've got so many wonderful feedback about it then you should give it a try. (: All the best :D

[Disappointed]

hi!!! u sing in ur version even though its 15yrs bck song. but more pratice makes prefect. anyway u gt a gd voice! cheers !

[ike khevin]

[Kahler]

Dear Karen!!!

just do it!! do it!! do it!!

[۞ 棟 樑 ۞ JaSoN]

eventough u r a new singer, but u still can compare the POWER of VOICE u had, compare to Eric Moo n Mindy Quah. I've listened both version b4, when i was young last time.. but ur LIVE performance of "Tai Sha" really really amazing. It is GREAT to hear such POWER of VOICE .. summore is LIVE performance.. i know u r so afraid that moment, i also know that this song is not so easy to PUSH to the HIGH limit.. haha (As i been tried in Redbxx karaoke, haha, DAMN high note)
No matter what album u release, i will give my FULL support to support your albums... This is not ONLY my support, i will promote it to my frens n families.. ok?

Cheers,
JaSoN

[Vivid]

U have very very beautiful voice:) Keep it up. If someday u got a chance, pls cum n sing in Melbourne, Australia.

[Leng Leng]

Once i heard ur songs its immedicate caught my heart.I like your voice especially when you can deliver such a powerful one, keep it up and share nice music with us. Will support u and hope ur dream come true.

^o^...^o^

Cheers always
Leng Leng

[Nicky]

yaya,karen i awalys support u^^...jia you O....

[E r n o]

Keep perfecting your pitches especially during the chorus part and I'll have to say you must sing the song with a faster-pace(just like in Youtube) and perfect the higher tone parts of the song. I said in Youtube that because of you singing live that caused you to not be able reach the high tones correctly, I'm sure you'll do it well in your recording. Keep up the good work and I'm really impressed with your singing. I love you. ;-x Good luck!

[andy]

唱的很好，爆发力也很好但好像过头了一些
其实在复歌时可以抒情一些
加油加油加油！
我们都期待你下一张专辑

[Miu]

Hi. COmpare with the two original singers (ke yi min and wu qi xian), u have different of feel of this song. As per the rest of comment: the corus part was too high till we cant feel anything. Perhap u can do/improve of it.. It's a gd idea to add this song into ur new album.. Kambadeneh @_@

[siong]

it's a very nice song. i love this song very much too. U sing very well too, but you giv me the feeling is you sing too "strong" or "hard", as in my opinion this song should be more "powerful" but "gentle"...haha..i oso don know what i'm describing...but i really love this song very much

[NoBiTa]

柯以敏和巫启贤都用不同的风格唱出属于他们的经典。
感觉上，你的声音更有爆发力。加油 (">)

[jr]

hi....wud u want me to friend

[jr]

is nice to meet u sory f my english zzo zzo wrong im jrland

[Chan Yip]

ahh..i think it is a poor performance. =(

[alan_LoNeLY]

so nice!! nothing to say already, got ur own style, but i listen to my fm, that 1 is normal mode la, not so fast like this

[anderson]

我觉得爆发力是有，但感情不够！而且在高音方便还得加油一些！放多点感情下去唱会更好！有感情的歌，是最动人的！加油！我相信karen可以唱得更好！

[aDRiAn McKEviN]

You have a powerful voice but you struggled at chorus part.. i recommend 1st chorus part dont take it so high first.. then the 2nd one only blow the audience off.. just my 2 cents.. :) i know you can do it..

[Pennie]

To be honest with you, i don't feel comfortable when u sing this song. To be precise, u can sing high pitch doesnt make u a singer, needless to say be a good singer. U increase ur volume during climax part/chorus as if u are screaming ur heart out to sing the high pitch, low volume as if like talking and murmuring in the verse part. The way u sing is very "OLD" style. Ur voice is not unique/good enough to survive in this music industry, too sharp. Although i am not a professional/music related expert, i am judging as a consumer because we are the one who will buy the CD or support a good singer. Please be remindful that I am not criticising u baselessly. p.s just personal opinion, no offence

[ZicHeN]

Hi Karen, I thought it was great~ But if the pitchings for the verse of the song (especially the low notes) are more accurate, and put alittle more feelings into the song, i think it would be perfect! Keep up the good job! And lookin' 4ward 2 listening it in ur up comin' album~~

[Pei Gang]

I watched the video. Nice work. In the video, your voice is very powerful.I have a suggestion.

If you include this song in new album, I hope you change the background music, change the feeling a bit. Even it's same melody and lyrics, I hope to see you make it into "Karen version", not just your voice, or the way you sing, but the whole feeling and experience of "music" from this song.

I remember there were many old song were remade into song w/ totally different feelings. David Tao got a few good work as example. hmm... "shake head" dance version seems not so appropiate for this song :P

You can do it. Add oil.

[Tmj ^_^]

if ur next album u put "tai sha" inside,it will more perfect,because ur voice is very powerful.

[Tmj ^_^]

im hope that u will put "tai sha" to ur next album oh

[Tmj ^_^]

im hope that u will put "tai sha" to ur next album oh

[Osensei]

GO ahead! You sing it quite nice! !!! jia You!

[Lichuan]

i think a chinese album will shld u the most cause of ur strong vocal . hope to hear u sing ani of the chinese love song, it will touch people's heart .

[jin khai]

if compare with eric moo or ker yi ming u r not gud enuff..but ur look's was more better than she...hope u can show ur more best of best...

[dr Jodean]

唱不出各人风格。。。前半部过快，音拉不上去的感觉。缺乏气。。需要多练习游泳。练气。台风过于。。“跑歌台”的感觉。。。缺乏。。“感动”。沧伤“的味道。。。

[JX 建翔]

你的声音很好听，爆发力很好，但是如果可以在某些地方才爆发会更好听，其他地方我想听听抒情的，加油，你会做到的！！
