hey guys thanks for the sweet comments! you guys are much to sweet to me! anyways, i've finally put my music online and will be doing so from now on! please check it out and let me know what you think! thanks guys!
i don't ccare what how people say you sing it wrong or whatever...i think its GREAT and i love the song no matter what. and you are right on how the english and khmer part are different...SO WHO CARES!!!
It was and is always a joy to watch your video....You're such an inspiration injection to many youths. I love you ....Go Go Go ...Laura Mam Hope to see you again in Cambodia Mika
i love your voice and you have so much talent! your going to do great in the world represent for us khmer ppl and your also from the bay which is great! hahaha cuz so am i ... but go head girl do ur thang... and your voice is lovely you got dese khmer songs down high notes and all bcuz singin khmer songs arent easy ... keep up the great work
I learned about you through your Ted Talk and was a big fan of your mission; your covers and original music videos are full of fun and healing energy and turned me into a fan of your music. Seeing this is like watching a "before they were famous" video and it's awesome to see the same great spirit you have here blossom with and for so many people in all the years since. I have higher hopes for the future thanks to the work and fun you're sharing with us. Thank you so much Laura!
dear friends. please stop fighting about nationalist issues like this. the reason i said inter-southeast asian unity is because nationalist issues like the ones we are all fighting about are what caused the cambodian genocide, vietnam war, and the preah vihear thai-khmer racism. let us face the facts: before french colonization, there were no such things as borders. we had kings and kingdoms based on mandalas, which are circular kingdoms that stretched outward, no borders. please lets stop hate.
I adore you Poun Srey! Your voice is so lovely and so talented! We need a lot of your young generation like yourself that represent our cultures, our pride, our recognition and a lot more. You should sign up for the American Idol, hey you wouldn't know! You could be the next American Idol that represent all of us. Keep up the good work!!!!
Hi Laura tu chante vraiment bien le khmer je t'assure j'espers que tu comprend le french j(ai posté cet video y a quelque temps pour ma femme resté au cambodge.Bonne continuation a toi sais tu parlé khmer ?? do you speak cambodgian??
What i want to point out is that before the colonial creation of borders in indochina, people although ethnically divided were loyal to kings not nations. This explains Khmer Surin in Thailand and Thai-Laos. Yes we have a different history with the vietnamese, but the point is nationalism is made up. And I absolutely agree with you that Khmers should realize we are not in any way purer than others, but we should also have enough pride to not abuse each other and our country.
She has a beautiful voice, even though sang a guy's song. The english part was very meaningful, I'm impressed if she was born in US and knows all these. Every Khmer loves Sinsesamot =D
What I want to promote is the fact that we need to stop a blaming narrative. The Khmer Rouge did not hate Khmers, they hated exploitation. I am not giving them lenience, their solution of killing brothers and sisters was unjustified and extremist, but you cannot say their reasons are that simple. Israel-GAZA conflict is the same in that they are fixated on BLAMING. What we al need is forgiveness. In essence, you and I are arguing for the same thing and I commend you for speaking for unity.
dear pkving, regardless of how we differ in opinion on certain details of these historical atrocities, i think it is fair to say both of us agree that all of these events were sick. And innocent people died and suffered for stupid reasons. however i think its time for the khmer people to change a narrative of blame, and start a narrative of forgiveness and reconciliation. At least for my parents, reading about the genocides helped them understand and heal. I think reading could help all of us.
she sings very nice. Good to hear that you still encourage Khmer song there. Please keep continue doing so. Try to introduce Khmer to your friend. However, may I say something? Please keep original lyric because it is not good to remix it. However, your voice is cool and I really like.
Oh just wanted to see if you were part of the Khmer club there--and it looks like you guys are that's awesome! Just wanted to shout out from ucla. Come to the Khmer Student Coalition (KSC) conference next year!
This is one of my favorite Khmer songs ever! So I actually scrolled through all 325 comments looking to see if anyone had requested the guitar chords for this song and unfortunately, no one has yet. Thus, I was wondering if I could trouble you for these chords. If you could post this up or send it to my RUclips email, I would greatly appreciate it! It's my goal to learn how to play this song so that I can play it for my folks and shock them with my Khmer vocabulary skills! Thanks a bunch.
dear pkving, if it's alright with you i would like to open a healthy forum of discussion in this issue for the reconciliation of khmer generations. i agree that the atrocities of the khmer rouge are based on their radical interpretation of communism. however, pol pot's ideology was based on nationalist reactions to 100 years of french colonial abuse, US governmental abuse, and Vietnamese paranoia.
sorry accidentally replied on my brother's account but yes mao ze dong killed many chinese in the great purge because of the same nationalist idea of "purifying the nation." another good example is Indonesia's Suharto genocide in 1965-1975.if you want good literature on genocide that has great answers for your great questions, i would definitely recommend Samantha Powers' "A Problem From Hell". It is an in depth account of many genocides and mass murders like these.
dear soriya i absolutely agree that the khmer rouge should be punished. my only concern is that we will become emotionally frozen by trauma even after punishing them. i would like for justice and reconciliation, both must be achieved hand in hand, not one or the other. and yes i was born in the states, but i think my heart remains khmer. its a strange thing. =)
A lot to say on da Khmer rouge topic of course.. whit out a doubt, But still....the revolutionary is over. What been done cannot be undone. Blame them all u want punished them all u want. Hated will lead to more hated, it's hard to forgive n forget , But life must go on.. We're in a new Era now. Fosho U born as khmer u will always be khmer is in yah blood =]
oh my golly, you took that commeny just to serious :S its her little sis for gods sakes, you find it offensive to be attacked by a little sweet innocent kid that thinks she can sing better than everyone. c'mon give them a break. -- yehs ;D
Keep your unnecessary personal comments to yourself. We don't care to know that there are others out there that could sing better nor do we want to know. There are people out there who sing for other people's enjoyment, not for fame or acknowledgment. Your comment just demeans other.
Oh OMG Really what yr U grad @ Creekstah? Nahh one of mai boi show me this vid and he told me u go to creek. His sister might know u or seen u around whatever..

A lot to say on da Khmer rouge topic of course.. whit out a doubt, But still....the revolutionary is over. What been done cannot be undone. Blame them all u want punished them all u want. Hated will lead to more hated, it's hard to forgive n forget , But life must go on.. We're in a new Era now.

oh my golly, you took that commeny just to serious :S its her little sis for gods sakes, you find it offensive to be attacked by a little sweet innocent kid that thinks she can sing better than everyone. c'mon give them a break. -- yehs ;D
Keep your unnecessary personal comments to yourself. We don't care to know that there are others out there that could sing better nor do we want to know. There are people out there who sing for other people's enjoyment, not for fame or acknowledgment. Your comment just demeans other.
"will Know" endings hot...
