A tale of two Suns

[Confuseous]

by Maureen Koh





The tale of two Suns couldn't be more different.

Even as one Sun continues to shine, the other Sun continues to seek stardom.

One was plain, the other glamorous.

One didn't have much financial support, the other had her pastor husband and an entire church congregation behind her.

And yet Stefanie Sun is the best-selling recording artiste in Singapore today.

Ms Ho Yeow Sun, also known as Sun Ho, has been chasing after stardom for more than 10 years but has yet to come anywhere near Sun's success.

Sun is unlike the glamorous divas - think Faye Wong and Sammi Cheng - who have dominated the music scene in Hong Kong.

Yet she holds her own in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.

How did she achieve so much with so little? Who made her so?

Unlike Ms Ho, the odds were stacked against Sun from the start.

She was fresh out of school and was more comfortable speaking English than Mandarin, unlike talented singer-songwriters like Emil Chau and A*Mei, who scored hit after hit in Taiwan.

But Sun's self-titled debut album, She Is Sun Yanzi, went on to sell 150,000 copies within the first month of its release in June 2000.

While Ms Ho had the backing of her charismatic husband, Kong Hee, and his 33,000-strong City Harvest Church congregation, the woman largely known to have helped kick-start Sun's career is Ms Kathleen Tan.

One has the backing of Turf Club and the other have not

One Sun is the real deal, the other a wannabe.

Horse face Sun will probably do better if she did an Annabel Chong.

At least more people would take notice.

It just insider give figure maybe only half or 7000 only.

Just see after few week the case of CBT end in court.
100%% guilty.
If not why Horse face and KH dont come out explain where Sun Ho get her money for music career and how much amount she spend.
Is very simple just said it loud where money from and how much that it.
Simple few line only.
If both dont use CHC money sure they will use loud hail to explain the money!

One Sun is young perky and has talent.

The other Sun is old, haggard and has questionable talent.

Got, right here in this forum.

One Sinkie lost his job to a FT, became a taxi driver, still lives in his HDB flat and have been cursing FT day in day out with no end in sight and will RIP without even being able to take out a single cent from his CPF fund.

The other, became a FT in some Aussie land, sold his pigeon hole type housing with a 1000 times gain, took back all his CPF and have been taking potshots at his loser Sinke counterparts, who still remain in the tiny island, geting fucked by their FT and Elite rulers!

Sinkie also can play the same game. Sold the pigeon hole and migrate. Cash out all CPF money.
What a complaint?
They still can come back to SG as tourist.

The fact is that you still can't grapple with the mindset of a loser Sinkie type peasant and that is becos they are like you.

They can't migrate cos they are scared stiff thinking that other places are like cowboy towns, without their supposedly 'clean gov' and HDB type housing.

And without some financial security blanklet like a few millions dollars to migrate with, these loser, balless Sinkie would rather take their bets back 'home' ( note it's no longer their home) talk BIG but in reality is geing fucked by FTs and their Elite rulers!

Get it?

Which reminds me of George Harrison's sun :

the stark difference is in their voices; stefanie sun has talent and sun ho has not. it was so obvious since day one that sun ho was just chasing a 明星梦 and really chasing it damn hard. there are a million and one ways to reach out to non-christians and they have to pick the most ludicrous one.

i have many housewife/OL friends who can sing better than her...

 

[blackmondy]

One has a megawatt smile but no boobs. The other has big fake boobs and a long horse face.

Gimme the megawatt smile anyway. Can live with the airport.

difference is that those housewife/OL friends of yours don't have a whole church and $50million bucks backing them.

That's true. Stefanie Sun is indeed very talented. But it isn't only her voice that won her so many thousand fans across the region but her sweet and pleasant demeanor as well. Despite an understated stage personality, fans endeared themselves to her because of her versatile voice quality and graceful classy dance moves on stage. The horse-face Sun on the other hand knowing that she totally lacks singing talent relied on slutty dancing in scantily clad clothes, gyrating in suggestive moves with a few huge black dicks hovering behind her. Sun Ho really cannot make it lah. There's just no comparison with Stefanie.

 

[scroobal]

Honestly there is no comparison. You don't write an article about 2 separate paradigms. Its like asking people if they prefer to eat black forest cake or a car tyre and then write why the cake is much better.
