C-pop Saturday

I've been doing the C-pop Saturday feature more regularly this year, and it's time for the first one of the summer!

 

Meiqi- Jiang

This is  Jiang by Chinese singer Meiqi. Her full name is Meng Meiqi (the surname is first) and she is a member of Korean/Chinese girl group Cosmic Girls and also the Chinese idol girl group Rocket Girls 101.

Born in Henan province in China, Meiqi moved to South Korea  aged 15 to become a trainee. She made her music debut as a member of Cosmic Girls (also known as WJSN) with the mini album Would You Like? in early  2016. In 2018 she competed in Produce 101, the Chinese version of the Korean reality music show, and made it to the final to become a member of Rocket Girls.

In April Meiqi released her debut EP Jiang and single of the same name. It became the fastest selling digital album of 2019.

In addition to singing, Meiqi is an actress. Her films include Step Up China (2018), Autumn in my Heart/Autumn Fairy Tale (2019) and the upcoming Jade Dynasty.

 Here is the video for Jiang which was uploaded in May.

 

Update 8/7/22: The video is now gone for some reason but here's the audio:

Roi & Jackson Wang- Another

Finally this is Another by Chinese rapper and singer Roi. His real name is Qin Feng and he started out in Korean boyband The Legend before going solo in November with the single Show Me.

Another features Hong Kong singer and rapper Jackson Wang (member of K-pop group GOT7 and solo artist). It was released on 19th June and is a mixture of English and Chinese (Mandarin?). This is a lyric video.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D...

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
