1. First, can anyone recommend any good, angsty Korean ballads by female vocalists? I don't really like Korean male singers much - they sound a bit too tortured and constipated for my liking but I really love how Korean female vocalists sound. For instance, I love
track 5 from the soundtrack to Sad Story and also Korean actress Kim Hee Seon (金喜善) singing the Korean part with Jackie Chan (成龙) in the song
美丽的神话 (Beautiful Myth). I'd like sad, slow, angsty, breathless songs :D Nothing fast/boppy/rocky.
2. I always return to the song 《青藏高原》 (Tibetan Plateau) over and over and over again so instead of doing a new post, I just went and updated an
earlier post with a bunch of new links and comments, plus a discussion about how incredibly mad I get when people dismiss a talented vocalist simply because she is 'ugly'. :| Again, I'm talking about Tibetan born singer Han Hong 韩红. I guess I rant a little, but the post is mostly about the music.
