As everyone knows, David Hasselhoff is loved in Germany. But the object of Vietnam's affection? Megastar Lionel Richie. Not an evening goes by where I do not hear Lionel's smash hit "Hello" on the local soundtrack or wafting out onto the street from some karaoke bar. Vietnamese love him. Oh yeah, and the Carpenters too. The Vietnamese love this stuff -- the sappier and schmaltzier the better. I gotta admit I've got a soft spot for it too. The other night I did a rendition of "Yesterday Once More" that brought the house down at a swanky karaoke bar. Not quite ready to tackle "Hello" just yet -- crowd might get ugly if I mess it up.
