By The Bel: Pop Corny #3 (Taiwan)

I think my taste in music is contagious. My daughter (who is a self-confessed Japan-o-holic) now enjoys sitting down with me to watch Pop Asia.  We have a giggle over some of the dance sequences and we still snicker over the thought of Girls Generation having ‘a boy chicken’ in their song ‘I got a boy’. (At least that’s what it sounds like they’re saying)

Lets make a long story short, today we’re heading to Taiwan.

To kick things off I give you an oldie but a goodie from F.I.R called Fly Away. This video reminds me of the style many Music Videos took on in the 1990’s and a this one has a sound to match. Careful of the gunshots sounding at the beginning, they’re a tad loud.

I find humour very appealing when life is getting a little too serious, so this number from Jay Chou fits the build. Gong Gong With a Headache… Yup that’s the name of the song. The ‘lady’ in the bath, yikes!

Where’s the girl group I can hear you all demanding… So how about the band S.H.E with their girl power song called Shero. Who needs to wait for a hero when you can save yourself? I agree ladies. Nice touches of gold glitter, diamonds and computer graphics. This may be from 2010, but it stands the test of time. Makes me want to pump my fist in the air and spell words in a loud, cranky voice.

These last two are from the same guy, Wang Lee Hom. Two totally different offerings and yet they’re both pretty cool. From 2010’ish comes Bo Ya Cuts the Strings

This has the best Gu-Zheng solo EVER!

Then we have the most recent song to be released by this philanthropic guy, and this one got my attention because it has a guest appearance by none other than Jackie Chan. I dare you to sit still while watching 12 Zodiacs. Oooooweeeeee!
