Free Concert, Thai Country Music Stars, Isaan.

Ying Titikarn Thailand
The other weekend I ventured to a free concert and some big stars, country stars were on show. The first big star who is number 1 in the country charts at the moment is Ying Titikarn.

This lady is gorgeous and she also has a great voice. The sound of her voice live was unexpected. So many times I hear a person live and am let down. Ying blew me away with her voice.

This is probably Ying’s most popular song. I am going to translate it over the coming days and will then add a link to the translation. It is a beautiful song.
Noo Meter Thailand
Noometer is a big star in Isaan, he is a true country singer with a classic voice. I didn’t get many pictures of him as I was backstage and blessed to be talking to another star that was performing soon.

Noometer, is a very popular country singer. Above is his most popular song. He has a great country voice and many songs that I like.

And this is Kratae and has been singing a long time at this young age. She had her first huge hit, below at the age of 14 years old. I couldn’t believe how small she is. When I stood next to her, she was about as wide as one of my legs.

She is very popular, she has many hit songs, especially younger teens but also many boys wanted to offer her flowers and also touch her hand.

She was so professional; she sang, danced, shook hands and collected gifts and didn’t miss a beat. She also had an excellent live voice.

Bao Wee Thai Star
And Bao Wee, he is a bit of a cross between Robbie Williams and Garth Brooks.

The girls love him, a lot. He was mobbed when he first got on the stage and it was funny seeing older guys giving him flowers.

I hope to edit all the live video I took soon, as time permits and I will then upload it and post it on the site.

There are plenty of songs of the stars you can listen to at YouTube. I was thinking about doing a weekly song, each week upload a song with translation. I will see how it pans out. This site called Lukthung & Morlam is excellent and has a huge range of music and artists.

I wasn't hanging out with but got to meet Kratae in person as she was having pictures taken with some dancers.

She was really nice and tiny. I am hoping to meet Miss Tai Oratai in the near future. She was in Ubon last Sunday but I was busy and couldn't go to the concert.

She is comming to Ubon for some more concerts over the next few months, a very popular performer here as you know MJ
