Pretty Voices X Neil Noises: Mandopop Choices

somehow, somehow

i always thought

Oliva Ong 王儷婷 and Joanna Wang 王若琳

share something in common

and here comes Wanting Qu  曲婉婷

 

but why?

three nationalities

started the bases in three different places, as well

 

okay based on my summing up

in a nutshell

 

Joanna Wang does excellence with vintage tune

Olivia Ong is a little miss ballad

Wanting Qu, last but not least, has got a diva-lung

 

to visualize:

Joanna’s singing is best listened, lying on seaside or green grass

Olivia’s voice belongs to the quiet hut for two, with hot choc

Wanting’s vocal is the perfect song in a huge concert hall

 

to weather-ize:

J = sunshine and straw hat

O = afternooon breeze and butterfly

W = X’mas night (cold outside yet warm inside)

 

to instrumentalize:

J = ukulele or acoustic guitar

O = jazzy drum and piano

W = piano      

 

hence right now

i am officially

forcefully putting them into common

 

good songs come in pair

a short playlist of less than ten minutes

makes an awesome “while waiting” time-killer

make you feel like

whether it is meant for

sunny beach

afternoon siesta

concert night

good thing always comes in pairs
