If that was one of her highlights her rapping must have been dire.

Where's her partner, Vanilli?

 

P.S.  I have never rode on an elephant.

Actually it is amongst Thai's because the elephant remark is sarcasm against Prayuth govt

Streaming on YouTube, I thought maybe she was Korean for a second.   two songs, one was OK.  only listened for about 10 seconds each.  lol

 

8 hour video........gotta be honest, the "talent" based on my 10-second clips seems ridiculously low.

 

but they will be super rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    they will have big money!!!!!   so good for them.   get that money!!!!

 

I'm a falang backpacker eating half of a 10 baht noodle soup complaining about rich people!!! OMG, I'm doomed!!

 

lol

Yes, she's been critical of the prayut regime, and I think the pm filed a defamation charge (or had the police file it: the RTP report directly to him) against her last year.

 

 

25 Thai celebs investigated over criticism of government, PM, one rapper ‘Milli’ fined

 

The trend of celebrities calling out the government on various issues on their social media, which have huge followings, known as “Celeb Callouts”, has been intensified by a lawsuit filed by Mr. Prayut’s lawyer against a rapper “Milli” over her online posts targeting the government and the prime minister. The Thai hashtag #SaveMilli has been used in over a million tweets.

 

18-year-old Danupha Khanatheerakul reported to police today to hear the charge of defamation. She was fined 2,000 Baht.

At the bottom of that article, you would have read this:

 

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held between April 15th and 17th in California, United States.

It's in California.  Why would a Thai person be expected to know that?

This stalker has a chip on his shoulder about me being a dual citizen. 

I wonder if I would enjoy Megan Thee Stalion.  Possibly not.

Lisa Blackpink performed at Cochella in 2019 so this person isn't the first.

Instead of geography it may be a problem involving aging and different eras.

 

Have you heard of Woodstock or Monterey?

Very pretty, not sure if she can sing live, though, as it sounded like she was singing along to a pre-recorded track.

 

The kids like her and it seems to have gotten them excited because she is Thai and said something about the government.

Thanks. Looking at list of global artists, definitely going to give this a miss.

Most articles refer to Milli's performance as that of the first SOLO thai artist at Coachella.

 

I'm assuming Lalisa performed as part of a group?

 

Plus Lalisa pitches Buri Ram meatballs, with a Chivas chaser.

Where is 10 baht noodle soup? A decent noodle soup with a roadside vendor is at least 40 baht with some meat of questionable quality.
