Starman Chris Waple

I was never a fan of English songs. I was always a fan of Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars. That is why a "banana man" ( a Chinese who doesnt read Kanji) like me can read Kanji without attending Chinese School (haha, thanks to Karaoke)

If I am not mistaken the first Chinese songs that was translated by my sister into Romaji is "Flying Butterfly" by The Little Tigers. (XIAO HU DUI).

Not until Upper High School that I started to pick up some English CD`s. The first English CD that i bought was Take That (single CD, How Deep IS Your Love)...don`t laugh, but they were really popular in Malaysia in the 90`s.

Well, little did I knew that there were millions of other good English songs until I met this English friend - - Chris Waple.

I think Chris is a very good singer... sometimes much better than the original singer....
I particulary like Creep (by Radio Head) wanna listen to this animated version of Creep ? Here you are http://www.koreus.com/files/200408/radiohead_creep.html

But I think Chris could carry the song as good as Radio Head is.

Another song well sung by Chris is Starman by David Bowie.

Recently, after getting Dell PC in my lab, haha, i have downloaded several Chris`s favourite karaoke songs....(so next time I will not be singing those Chinese songs again....haha)

And since then, these phrases keep playing in my head.
*****
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
******* Chorus of Starman - David Bowie
