Sabaidee Fest 2024 - Response to the Hate

- SBDF 2024: I’m really disappointed in the division being created in our already divided Southeast Asian communities after @sabaideefest, so I wanted to make a 3-part video (which I’ve compiled together here) to hopefully give you all some more information and perspective to think about before jumping to any conclusions about such a great movement that SBDF has started.
Part 2 [1:30] is my response to SBDF supposedly only being “for the money.”A financial sneak peek into @sabaideefest, from getting major SEA international artists, including bringing Cambodia’s biggest superstar to the US for the first time, to giving out tons of discount codes, artist & influencer kickbacks, and free tickets. I urge you to consider how much really goes into making a festival like this happen. The first of its kind. @sabaideefest team, you made history, don’t let anyone take that away from you.
“Sabaidee Fest was hands down one of the best experiences of my life.” - Priscilla
Part 3 [2:30] is my hot take - why is that when it comes to our SEA community, people get so upset about our own people making money, having successful businesses? Perhaps we might consider that expecting everything from our communities to be free is also taking advantage of our people. You may not agree with me, and that’s fine. I only want the best for all of our communities. I hope this just urges you to think from another perspective. And here’s a gentle reminder to be kind to one another no matter our different beliefs. 🙏🏽

I agree with you 100% 💯 👍🏾 that mixmigagi dude just want exposure by making a video so people can make people feel sorry for him so he gain more followers n probably wants donation. We'll said
I'm all for supporting the community but when Saidadee ticket cost as much as a flight to Thailand, Cambodia or Laos, I rather sit my @ss home. 😅
There was a data leak indicating projected ticket sales of $4.3 million. In addition to ticket sales, there will also be revenue from merchandise sales, sponsorships, and donations. Furthermore, there were performances by the artist at various locations - The amount of money you profited from this artist, performers, and volunteers because you made them believe this is for the culture is beyond. If you can't define that as pure greed and abuse - I don't know what else to describe that. Evil?
Sabaidee Fest was an amazing show and performances. we had a great time, and see you 2025 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊
I’ve seen and heard horrible things that the people in charge did and did Not do for a lot of the Artists that performed there… they were Not compassionated well, a few of the artist went back home with no money because they had to pay for a lot of things out of their own pockets…If the artist isn’t getting the money well you know somebody is!!! Tickets are not cheap! This isn’t their 1st or 2nd year of doing this Festival… don’t just take the words of the organizers go ahead and ask ALL of the Artist and hear what they have to say… I’m not hating I do wish them the best! But the organizers need to step up their game. Need to hire more people with more experience to run an event like this. ..don’t cheap out and hire homies and ppl with no experience for cheap…. Hoping it gets bigger and better for you guys!
That is what I heard as well and calling out Salong on his bs. You can cough up $50k to the well known Thai artists, but only give tips to the Laos artists. That’s all I need to say. It’s distasteful and disgraceful. I responded to another person and said hire a professional operations person who has done similar concerts. Get a lawyer and draft up contracts with clauses. He needs to protect him. If he runs into the wrong person than he is bound to get a lawsuit pretty soon.
Well said 💯 percent! I absolutely agree everything you mentioned. Why can't our Asian community come together and support one another instead of hating each other. We all have to support and come together as one and unite.
I will go next year!
I definitely agree with what you said! The Sabaidee Fest was amazing as it was! Yes, improvement can be made but seeing Southeast Asian coming together to build this music festival was a great idea. And to those who were complaining, Priscilla you hit the spot! This was a time for them to build up their music and their name. Basically advertise yourself! When you build your name, the money follow. I love your response to the Hater! You go girl!
The topic is not only for profit. The topic is for treating each other fairly and well for the "unity of Southeast cultural community as Sabaidee's mission and purpose - As you said" Have you seen the financial books? Most of these artists are undervalued and underpaid. The people running this are racking up, donations, ticket sales, and sponsorship. This is a music festival clouting on culture.
The first time Sabaidee was going to happen it didn’t happened because they weren’t going to make profit so they canceled it. Until they realize that they can make profit off of Hmong artist and Hmong culture and not pay the Hmong anything, Sabaidee is back on.
I agree with you 100% well done.❤
I usually don't go to festivals, but when i go, i go to Sabaidee Fest 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊
Don’t let 1 or 2 people to separate us as an Asian citizen should all come together.
Come back 2025 I will be there 👍👍👍👍.
Mr miyagi needs another karate kid movie 😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏well said!!!
Yeah c u next year
nah you gas lighting to hard
100% agree!
Well said!
Keep Doing!
Beggars don’t get to choose. Sabaidee need to be careful of who they allow to help, some SEA group is just a hater and still have the jungle mentality. Just focus on the Laos/Thai and Hmong/Mien tribes from the 2 countries.
Dumay tripping.
Does this mean that you hates Cambodian peoples!!! So sad to see this comments!!!
@@cameronset-chan8409Their ignorance ass probably thought that guy was Khmer. They can keep it Laos/Thai and Hmong/Mien and have nobody there like the previous year. Bye!
👍
Good talking ❤
no more Fest!!.. to much drama.. too much division.. creating hate..
Priscilla,
You raised some valid points about the importance of community and shedding light on the situation with Sabaideefest. It's commendable that Salong has created a platform to emphasize the Laos, Hmong, Cambodian, and other Southeast Asian communities.
A significant issue within the Southeast Asian community is the internalized hatred towards each other. When someone does something positive, there's often a snarky comment that follows. This mentality has been ingrained in our childhood and society, leading us to feel as though we're owed something. We can't change people's negative thoughts and feelings, as they often project their own insecurities. Change must come from within.
Regarding the artist who complained on TikTok about not being paid, that was unnecessary. It was his responsibility to sort out the contract details beforehand. Beggars can't be choosers. Although Salong has just started Sabaideefest, he can learn from his mistakes and improve the festival. He should implement contracts for all performers and ensure that those filling in are paid fairly for their time and efforts.
We create divisions within our groups, leading to a lack of inclusiveness. Everyone wants to be celebrated. To foster a true sense of community, we must include everyone, providing equal pay and recognition, rather than celebrating one race over another. Many Asians don't support each other and instead exhibit envy and entitlement, gossiping about those who are doing good work. It's disheartening to see influencers who claim to promote community and inclusiveness, yet act superior and aloof in person, experiencing an identity crisis. Instead of complaining on social media for attention, we should focus on genuine support and unity.
As you mentioned, Priscilla raised some valid points which I believe you did as well. However, this short statement here " He (Salong) should implement contracts for all performers and ensure that those filling in are paid fairly for their time and efforts". I'm sure he's willing to listen and learn from it. However, that one Artist "Asked" to be in the lineup and he "Agreed" to perform for "Free" but yet he turned around and blasted them out. I watched his entire 22+ mins vid and all I needed to hear was the first few words which he clearly stated that he'll do it for free. What I didn't know was they accommodated his request even though they had the full line up already. I read so many comments on his vid, it tells me how much his statements negatively influenced many of those people's brains and how they disregarded the statement "He agreed to perform for FREE"...Some of our Asian people are SMH!!! LOL
I know someone who is close to Salong. Is he really able to be open to learning and listening? I heard from the grapevine that he did not pay any of the Laos artists from the last Sabaideefest, but he can dish out to the other two “Famous” Thai stars because they’re famous and gave them first class flights and 50k each. That is totally uncalled for and you’re right he should make contracts. As a business owner, like Salong, he should know better. He should hire someone for operations because he is clearly not doing a good job on it. Have someone who negotiates contracts and have a lawyer in place. That is a noobie move he is doing. Also, I want to call out that he did not pay any of the Laos artists. That is messed up and they need money with their current circumstances. Tips alone is not enough. It’s not all South East Asians calling him out it’s everyone. He needs to get his shit together and make it right. There is another person as well calling Salong out for his bs. That performer had to do extra work because the performer after them did not show up on time. Again, they did not get paid extra. The topping of the ice is he separated the “Laos” and “Hmong” performers and making it look like a certain group is inferior to each other. If you run a business than act like one and secure your shit with contracts and clauses. Then hire a damn operations person who knows how to run concerts like this.
@@SunnySideSprites I heard the Laos Artists did get paid at least $2k each per event after the main event. They also got paid from the main event (main Sabaidee) but I don’t know how much. Actually, it was shared during a RUclips live from one of the Artists.
Like I said that $2K is enough for a flight home. It was Big Yai who said he got around $1,200 for the event. He got some many gifts from his fans that he could not afford to pay extra. He said that they did not do many tours and did not get much money. As I mentioned before the bigger people got $50k and the Laos artist got a measly $2k. Just out of logic is that fair?
I mean if you’re not satisfied with it then don’t go or perform. Simple as that. I mean imagine if there’s no more sabaidee people will be wanting them to do it 😂😂😂😂😂. Or if you’re people like me I just stay home and watch everyone’s complaint on RUclips lol. Wish the best for everyone
Matket yourself to the whtye guys to make money ti pay those artist.
Thanks for pointing this out. Some adults can learn a thing or two from you.
