C-pop Saturday

Time for another C-pop Saturday! :)

Jolin Tsai- Womxnly

First of all here is Taiwanese singer Jolin's song Womnxly which was a Weekly Music Video last month: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/03/weekly-music-video_27.html


Jolin- Lady in Red

This is the latest song from Jolin. The video which was uploaded on 1st April, is about love and betrayal by a friend.  If you view it on YouTube itself and click "Subtitles/closed captions" you can see English subtitles. :)

Both Womxnly and Lady in Red are from Jolin's latest album, UGLY BEAUTY which was released in December.

Please note: This video contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. It's age restricted on YouTube.



Nick Chou and Tia Ray- Lincoln MKC

I came across this a while ago and couldn't read the Chinese, so wasn't sure who exactly it was! But after reading some YouTube comments I realised it was Nick Chou (NICKTHE REAL) and Tia Ray, and I think the song is for the launch of the Lincoln MKC car! I liked it, so thought I would include the video. :)

Nick (birth name Tang-Hao Chou, or Chou Tang-Hao) is a Taiwanese singer, rapper and actor who launched his solo career in 2010. His mum Billie Wang is an actress and his dad Chou Yu-Hou also works in the film industry. At 15 Nick went to study in America and was spotted by a representative of SM ENTERTAINMENT (one of the biggest and most well known South Korean music companies or THE biggest really). He was offered a place in the K-pop boyband Super Junior but decided not to take it up.

In 2009 Nick featured in Jolin Tsai's Real Man video and went on to release his debut self titled album in July 2010. To date he has released two more albums, S.N.G. (2012) and REAL (2016).

His acting credits include the Taiwanese romantic comedy TV series I Love You So Much (2012)and the 2017 TV series Love, Timeless.

Nick speaks fluent Taiwanese Mandarin and English.

The video for Lincoln MKC was uploaded in December (on Christmas Eve).

And if you're a Tia fan, here's the video for her song Lucky Star with Jackson Wang of K-pop band GOT7 (featured in a previous C-pop Saturday as well): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/07/weekly-music-video.html


NICKTHEREAL- Le Me Be The Light

Here's another song by by Nick, Let Me Be The Light which came out in August 2017.

Diana Wang- Hello, I said

Hello, I said is the latest single from Dutch Chinese singer Diana Wang, released in March.  It's an acoustic R'n'B song produced by Khalil Fong.

Hello, I said is an English language song with an encouraging message. It has a nice, chilled out vibe. :)


Lexie Liu- Bygone

Finally here's Bygone by Lexie Liu, from her latest EP 2030, which came out in February. I recently bought this along with Outta Time on iTunes, they're my two favourite songs from the EP. This is the official audio and it's a mixture of Chinese (I think Mandarin) and English.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
