Quynh Vi – Vui Sau Trai Tim Buon
August 22nd, 2009
Listening to Quynh Vi’s solo debut Vui Sau Trai Tim Buon is like getting head from a blow up doll. She just can’t quite get you there, leaving you desperately wanting the real thing. In “Yeu Khong Hoi Tiec,” her vacuous delivery makes you long for Minh Tuyet’s passion. In “Xin Thoi Gian Ngung Troi,” she barely puts her mouth around it, while Thien Kim would probably swallow it whole. She performs like an amateur in the techno inflected “Huong Thom Diu Ky.” By the time the last note in the terribly harmonized “Du Tinh Suong Khoi” falls, you just wanna bitch slap the screaming idiot and throw her to the dogs. After all, her plastic vocal is as gratifying as a blow up doll.
