snoop1130 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thailand’s K-pop rap sensation Lalisa Manoban, better known as “Lisa BLACKPINK”, debuted her first solo album “LALISA” this morning (Friday), with the music video hitting 10 million views on YouTube in less than 2 hours. Some hours before the mini-album was released, the 24-year-old said, during an online press conference, that it took some time for her to realise she was finally making her solo debut. Already an idol to the young generation in Thailand, Lisa made even more waves when she appeared wearing an elaborate traditional Thai dress in the video. The rapper said she wanted to have a “Thai vibe” to it.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 Lol, believing it was all about her wearing of a Thai dress......someone better check again. I am sure if she ran for PM she would be elected in a landslide both for her stunning costumes and then her ability to actually sing unlike the current PM. It had more than a Thai vibe to it that's for sure the GF who is a BlackPink fan watched it three times in a row to see all of the costumes and after hearing Lisa sing her name over and over, I vacated the room. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StayinThailand2much Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 I will never understand how obsessed Thais are with their own country, culture, food, language, and fashion, and not a teeny bit curious about the rest of the world. Since I can remember, I always wanted to know about other countries and cultures, soaking up every little piece of foreign news, books about faraway countries, and documentaries about other cultures, but maybe that's just me... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put her in a Thai dress (check), let her sing Morlam songs, and say she 'loves Thai food', and she could easily be elected to be the new prime minister, never mind not being a Thai citizen, not speaking a word of Thai, or not knowing anything about Thai politics... 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) She's going to be on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Friday evening, performing LA LISA. 1 hour ago, StayinThailand2much said: I will never understand how obsessed Thais are with their own country, culture, food, language, and fashion, and not a teeny bit curious about the rest of the world. LISA did a dance cover of American singer Destiny Rogers "Tomboy", creating a renewed interest in Rogers, and that song, and providing global exposure for the Lodi CA native.

Could be surgically enhanced of course and there is that Korean angle. What a mystery. I just think the eyes look a touch non-asian as well.

But, this is the kind of music that people of her generation like. I don't think the quality of the music has a lot to do with it. What attracts them is the whole package. As long as it is different too what past generations listened too then they are perfectly happy to be breaking new ground and inventing sex all over again. What would be the kiss of death to stars like Lalissa is if she went on tour, the tickets were all pre sold out but come the night the audience was almost exclusively packed out with the over 60's . Wheelchairs and dangling incontinence bags all over the place and a crush of screaming old men at the edge of the stage trying to hold their dentures in. If that happened would it bother her ? Still raking in the money and making people happy but a lot of her younger fans would be mortified to see their parents in the audience letting their metaphorical hair down. This is what happened at Facebook. It was the go to place for youngsters until their parents joined and became ' mutual friends ' The youngsters took off pretty quickly to put some distance between themselves and the oldies. So.....its about a lot more than just the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's girls screaming at her. She was abused in Korea by guys, who apparently were a bit racist and did not like her being sold as K-Pop star as she's Thai. Told her to go home where she came from. She was quickly defended by her female fans. Having said that immaturity of Elvis, Beatles and Stones fans was also a fact. And yes screaming also by the females. The thing is now immaturity means like 11 years old. With Elvis it was more 13 or 14 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something behind the eyes, too, which I attribute to a conscious brain. If you ever watch the TV ads on the BTS, the actors have completely empty eyes. Nothing there in the body language either, just like wooden frames with clothes on. Once passed by a promotion stage at Siam Square years ago. Two guys were wearing motorcycle-y leathers. They looked completely lost in those foreign clothes. They didn't know how to look or stand. They didn't get it. Regarding the Lalisa video. They blew the budget all right, with more than a dozen costume changes, multiple locations and a lot of background actors. As for the "music," well, to each his/her own. But you can't argue with success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't argue with success. The song is, shall we say, not musically or vocally demanding, however a catchy feelgood number with a hint of erotica, which is fair enough. However, I think you're right about something in her brains, if you see her dance, she has that brain-body coordination which shows she's not a brainless robot like so many K-pop gals. She can move a touch above the rest, not on a Lia Kim level, but still a lot better than K-pop performers normally do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
