She is a comedian - she is supposed to make people laugh - chill! She teaches us not to take things personally and to laugh about the unfortunate things that happen to us in life! You go girl!!!
I like this... Not for its comedy or even singing... but her ability to use humour to raise an important issue facing Asians in this country,... take away the humour and you're left with raw truth... well done to this young lady!
I disagree. I think it's the best way to hit back at the people that bullied her. She got bullied because others found her different now people love her for that very reason and she isn't afraid to joke about it! "She who laughs last laughs loudest"
You know what is so really cool about this girl. After all the crap she recieved at school she can still poke a bit of fun, and has a great sense of humour. You go girl, and good luck in the contest. From and old Kiwi guy.
I'm an asian myself, Im against racism. But I still do respect opinions from people who may not like asians. This is because people are different, with different opinions and different view points on the society. So therefore sometimes, there is no correct opinion (obviously), so sometimes we cant judge other people's views, on whether they have the right views, based on our personal opinions. Now, I'm not a perfect person, Im not always correct, but this is my personal opinion on this argument.
Nice stand against racism. How can some of you not get the humour? She is mocking the racism and laughing at the ridiculousness of it AND laughing at a stereotype of her people. Nice work, clever young woman. Like her style.
Actually, asian people being smarter is not a joke. It's not a fact either. It's just because most asians are smart because they work hard and yes, I'm asian and I have one hell of a strict mum. Yes, she makes me work hard, but not to the point where I can't anymore.
lol I believe that's the Kiwi coming out of her. She seems like she been over here long enough to know that we have that (smart-arse) kind of humor & she has already adapted to it. She knows it's not discriminating but we all like to have a laugh about it, no matter if u think it's funny or or not. U either laugh about it or STFU. Onya Girl! Cher Cher
this is so wrong but yet so true, so glad she bringing the truth about the racism that asians face everyday from both the media, politicians and general public and how it is just generally accepted as part of nz culture
You are really funny. All my friends at school were saying how funny you were and how well you writ the song. You should be proud of yourself, Well done!
And no one said ANYTHING about NZ students. Stop bending the truth to your favour. If I was talking about NZ 'STUDENTS' then they wouldn't be referred to as drop outs in the first place.
if you think about it its pretty sad sounds like she was bullied alot and she must have found it hard but shes awsome she got past it and she realised it was funny so good on her go girl!
You go girl, I'm Pakeha, my wife is Thai ...... Asian to the MAX, and she thinks this is brilliant, as do I. It shows, all too clearly, that NZ, which should be the 'cool country' can also be the 'cruel country'. And yet without the cultural diversity that makes up NZ we'd be no better than the US. God forbid that ever happening. Viva la difference, I say.
I don't condone racism in any way, but just because one ethnicity arrived on some land first shouldn't mean their descendants get rights or advantages over anybody else. The very thought of giving one group of people privileges over another based on the colour of their skin is appalling and ridiculous.
You know what I think you are just jealous that she has talent and you don't! And plus if you don't like it don't watch it don't go hating on us Kiwis!
Unfortunately Ji Ye didn't get through coz they said "yes" to too many people - BUT you can vote her in via a wild card - go to abovetherest.tvnz.co.nz/myentry/ji-ye-sung and vote for "Asian"
I notice some dont see it , but us kiwis no matter wot race are happy to take the mickey out of our own races , look at billy T for instance he would do it often so do alot of other comedians , this young woman is doing the same and for that I bow to her
Whatta crackup!! Now that's what I call true Kiwi comedy: politically incorrect, racist, self deprecating, funny and witty. Only this time it's an Asian not a Maori. The cute Asian girl is a bit of a hardcase!
Anyway, to begin with, I do not have any problem with New Zealanders. What I was targetting at was uneducated youths that choose something to lay the blame on for their own shortcomings. No I do not believe in racial superiority. I simply took a stab at the guy by referring to him as an uneducated youth and countered stereotype with stereotype. I did not even intend on targeting New Zealand youths as a whole. How else do I describe someone who believes that non-whites should leave
VOTE FOR HER at abovetherest, youtube won't let me port the link. click view auditions, look up comedian then you'll find her. takes 12.5 seconds :) she doesn't have many votes! want a new song? VOTE!
Haha rather than arguing I am just defending misinterpretation of who I am. All is good as long as someone lowers his pride to stand down. I certainly admit what I had written can be misconceived, and all I'm doing is justifying I meant them differently.
People i thought new zealand people was nice so stop being mean to her it was funny and if u think it wasent or u dident like it keep ur comment to your self and stop swearing. :)

'I got bullied because I was asian'
*whole crowd laughs at her*
I am sorry that is what you saw. I saw everyone laughing with her.
Because it was funny

+ImDatRandomBoy Damn homie XDD
So lacist!

Why are you so riceIst?
ExActLy
I'm asian, I'm not offended, this is pretty great
Well, you should be
SaMe
@@Warrenpoint714 why if the singer is Asian and another person is Asian, and they don't find it offensive
As an Asian, I feel comfortable when I watch this.FFF
As an Asian, I feel good... Good to know someone, I'd say, made fun of someone's bullying
Stereotype is fun so long as it is not taken seriously.
cuzzyjp ikr and not too far
Not really.....but if you have a gradeschool or low iq sense of humor..then maybe.
@@EdertheJust I have both of them. Your intelligent and thoughtful comment does hit on the nail.
@@cuzzyjp I figured you'd be a double digit IQ type person.
@@EdertheJust Nah, single.
Omg!!! She was the inspiration for BTS 😩👌👌👌
This is why i cant do my homework
damm it nether do i
I remember watching this on tv when I was 8 and I couldn't stop laughing
She`s adorable ! ^__^
She goes to St. Mary's College in Auckland, she's a year 13 and leaving at the end of the year to go to uni. I've met her, she's pretty chill.
Ahahahah Miss Ji-Ye you're made of pure awesomeness! XD
2012년 당시 17세 지예 학생,
20년 기준으로 아마 25세 이실탠데
지금은 뭐하면서 지내시려나ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
지금도 음악가시려나
Ji Ye! She is my favourite Asian ever
Love her she's gonna b a funny comedian wen she's older lol
I think its natural creativity you have, I loved it. awsum job chick, have me n the kids dad in tears of laughter every time we see this!
I'll give her my standing ovation. This girl is awesome.
I disagree. I think it's the best way to hit back at the people that bullied her. She got bullied because others found her different now people love her for that very reason and she isn't afraid to joke about it! "She who laughs last laughs loudest"
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! New Zealand has so much talent!
This is a great video I can't wait to see more of her!
Not all songs DO rhyme in ALL parts, doesn't make them less of a song.
I remember watching this shit when I was younger and not understanding anything in it but still laughing my ass off cause everyone else was laughing😂👌

Alexandra Wallace would absolutely love this song!

If you want to see her on NZ's Got Talent again you need to vote for "Asian" on the above the rest website - she is under comedians :]
She is pretty and talented
fabolous! this is how one defuse racial tension ... bravo
lol I believe that's the Kiwi coming out of her. She seems like she been over here long enough to know that we have that (smart-arse) kind of humor & she has already adapted to it.

Well done and very brave!!! Great to see we can all have a good laugh at ourselves!! A good lesson to all!!!
She is called "Asian" (View Auditions > Comedian > Asian) or just go to abovetherest.tvnz.co.nz/myentry/ji-ye-sung
AND VOTE!!!
2:31 is the best one

reading comments....
guys U can't live without Chicken n Chinese. NOT A SINGLE DAY
It's a racial slur used against Asians, but this girl took it and made it into something funny, which I congratulate her for.
this is so wrong but yet so true, so glad she bringing the truth about the racism that asians face everyday from both the media, politicians and general public and how it is just generally accepted as part of nz culture
It was! Did you not see the audience?! They played it on tv after, but she performed in front a real LIVE audience! :]
Completely get what you mean, those people that have too much pride and just keep arguing even though they know themselves, they're wrong.
You are really funny. All my friends at school were saying how funny you were and how well you writ the song. You should be proud of yourself, Well done!
My asian dad would say she is a disgrace but she is my new idol now Xp
And no one said ANYTHING about NZ students. Stop bending the truth to your favour. If I was talking about NZ 'STUDENTS' then they wouldn't be referred to as drop outs in the first place.
Hi just love her nature and she is enjoy the fun out of it just good on you girl

She is really good, not bad looking either, nice to see an outgoing Asian girl for once.
if you think about it its pretty sad sounds like she was bullied alot and she must have found it hard but shes awsome she got past it and she realised it was funny so good on her go girl!

I wish she put, 'People think I'm related to king kong.' in the song.
its the sound it makes when you throw a frying pan down the stairs. which is how asians name their kids.
This is the best show EVER
This is exactly what it was like in a New Zealand intermediate. 2 Koreans in my year level and I was friends with both, she rocks
Nice, she's like a female, Asian version of Tim Minchin. Awesome.
I notice some dont see it , but us kiwis no matter wot race are happy to take the mickey out of our own races , look at billy T for instance he would do it often so do alot of other comedians , this young woman is doing the same and for that I bow to her
