Popular Post webfact Posted October 21, 2024 Popular Post Posted October 21, 2024 video screenshot Renowned artist Lalisa "Lisa" Manoban from Blackpink is set to dazzle audiences with a special performance at the Amazing Thailand Countdown 2025 in Bangkok. This exciting news was confirmed by Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong, marking a significant highlight for Thailand's New Year's Eve celebrations. Minister Sorawong announced that the government is focused on attracting more international artists and festivals to Thailand as part of its strategy to enhance tourism spending. Lisa's performance at the countdown event is expected to draw massive attention, as confirmed by event organisers in collaboration with the ministry. Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool mentioned that while several countdown festivals are being supported this year, Lisa's participation was secured by private sector efforts. This blend of public and private collaboration underlines the importance of entertainment in boosting Thailand's tourism industry. Lisa has recently released "Moonlit Floor," her third single under her own company, LLOUD, signed with RCA Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music. Remarkably, her first single, "Rockstar," garnered an impressive 200 million views on YouTube just last week, underscoring her global popularity and influence, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-10-22 1 2

anchadian Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Who is she? I've never heard of her. It is still uncertain whether global superstar Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban will be performing at the Amazing Thailand Countdown 2025 event in Bangkok, even though news reports yesterday quoted Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong as saying it was already confirmed. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1848618060711911572

She may be good but no idea who she is. In YOUR irrelevant small part of the world you are clearly clueless... Lisa from black pink is clearly a global superstar.... She's Thai Born, and clearly a relevant subject for a Thailand based forum, especially considering she will perform on NYE. ... And.... the metric for someone being a global superstar is not whether or not a handful of absolutely clueless boomers are aware of her existence or not... all you old farts are highlighting by stating your ignorance is that you are 'old farts' who've failed to keep up to date... Lisa's song, 'Rockstar' reached Billboard No.1 (Excl. USA) and Billboard No.4 (within USA). On the day of its Debut, her songs reached 32 Million Views within 24 hours... She also recently 'Headlined' Victorias Secret Fashion show, Cher also performed (if you are not a complete hermit you may know of Cher, perhaps back when she was part of Sonny & Cher.... Their most famous song "I've got you babe"..... although you may prefer the lyric "I've got no clue babe" !!! 3 1

You ain't anyone til you have been there. Cher was over-rated. But she was on TOTP.
JimTripper Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 It does not seem like Bangkok gets a lot of bands I like on tour. Stuff like Metallica, Ozzy (though he is retired now), Megadeth, Assemblage 23, Sisters of Mercy, anything metal really, or even industrial stuff... They seem to be mostly concentrated on Europe or the USA.

But many global superstars are still coming to Bangkok. Recently, Cold Play, Ed Sheeran, Tom Jones, Bruno Mars... Coming soon Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, ... even oldies such as Micheal Learns to Rock So Bangkok attracts a lot of 'global stars' and 'mega artists'.... BUT - some of the older forum members may not have heard of these artists or like them.... because, well, they are old and out of touch. I don't think there is economic viability in some of the other well known artists in Touring Asia, and making a 'stop off' in Bangkok as there simply isn't the fan base... Mega death, Metallica, Europe, NIN etc - there are a lot of artists who are well know, but just wouldn't fill venues over here... and a tour isn't quite worth it.
Popular Post owl sees all Posted October 22, 2024 Popular Post Posted October 22, 2024 My mates went to see Black Pink at the O2 a couple of years back. They just love their moves. One of them (friend, not group member) was shouting so much he was hoarse at the end of the show. 1 2

John Drake Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Is she less of an attraction than she was a few years ago? Seems so. Don't see her pictures plastered around as much as they used to be.

But could these youngsters say they have ever heard music from the 'greats' of out time. The Partridge Family, PG Proby or more recently, the best of British; Russ Abbot.

We recently saw Bruno Mars - not my favourite concert, but Wife, Son and I had a great time...

You mean the Global Mega Stars such as Russ Abbot, Partridge Family ??? Nope... its unlikely youngsters have heard of 'Dads Army' either...
owl sees all Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 I would always be worried about safety at these concerts. Lisa is a big pull. Thousands would willingly get crushed to get close. Thailand is not top of the pops in safety matters. Big death toll in BKK some years ago 1

I still like the stuff I grew up with and when that era passed I never moved on. Never even heard of Bruno Mars...

David Cassidy and the Partridge Family always seemed to be on TV a few years back. Did either of them do any 'stage' (musical or theatrical tours) outside of their own country ? That said... the rest of the world clearly missed out when they failed to recognise 'Atmosphere' for the global sensation it clearly should have been !!! That said... Roy Chubby Browns cover of 'Living next door to Alice' perhaps had wider reach and certainly has greater longevity !!!

Your ignorance is understood... The pride you seem to take in your ignorance is strange though.... Almost as if your are of the delusional belief that if you haven't heard of these global mega stars, then they are not really worthy of their fame....

I'm not sure Thailand cares much about that, but it would depend on the venue.
