Recently, to support the 'Thang Long 1000 years' celebration, a group of Vietnamese people (includes a doctor, a respectful artist and ..students) translated our famous and old beautiful songs to English, in order to spread them to the world as well. In the link above, you will find all their translated songs. The first song 'Hanoi this season.. absent the rain' is the worst, to be honest, which created an angry wave from other online Vietnameses. For other songs, i felt that i respect the old artist/singer and the chairman who were trying to learn English and sing them with all their hearts.
But wat made these songs so bad is their lack of execution, which makes me think that they didn't practice enough before singing the songs and didn't check their product several times before finalizing..
There are many negative, aggressive comments towards them (they called themselves 'BSP entertainment'), especially towards the girls.
I know we Vietnameses have this popular formula/phrase:
ENTHUSIASM + STUPIDITY = DESTRUCTION
But I find that we shouldn't apply this to every member of the group.
They must be brave, that we are all touched by their passion but not the result. I know I cannot stop laughing at the girl's translated song. I am wondering if they separate their jobs in the group like each person takes one song, translates and sings it; then its not even a group work. No leadership is clearly shown in this teamwork.
