Let's trip down the You Tube K-hole together with some songbirds I love:
1. Teresa Teng -- woman had pipes. My dad had this tape he used to always play in the car. In an alternate universe, she could've been an Astrud Gilberto or Francoise Hardy for the 80s. I have about 12 of her songs permanently etched in my brain, but I never knew what any of them were called or what they were about.
2. Nantida Kaewbuasai -- Thai pop singer who was big in the '80s. I wanted to be her when I was a kid, beloved by middle-aged Thai ladies the world over for her sexless sweetness. I never learned to do demure well, but I still love her voice.
3. Opera bitches fighting over whose Queen of the Night is best. My money's on Lucia Popp, but there's no video, only audio.
4. Jem vs. Le Tigre: so, so right.
5. Joni Mitchell ripping it up. Who sings like this anymore?
