Bulgaria finally produced a world famous music hit. ;D This girl appeared only for 60 sec. on a national TV and became a lot more popular worldwide, than any Bulgarian singer has ever been. For three weeks, the song "Ken Lee" of Valentina has been viewed more than 5 million times on youtube:

This is unique, I think she was the most surprised at the development after her unsuccessful Music Idol audition. Just look at the last 200-300 comments under of the original "without you" :

Its been the daily reality(at least when being in BG) to come across individuals that would sing western songs by making up the lyrics in such fashion but thats indeed pretty bold. One thing that "worries" me about this person in particular is this - she seems pretty certain(i.e. werent signs of simply messing around) that this song is indeed called "Ken Lee" and that its lyrics are being sung like that. I mean this person must be so ignorant that even lacks the curiousity to check out if thats really so. If I dont know what a word means, I check it quickly in the dictionary, wikipedia etc, if I apply for a job, I do a little research on the company's background(for the sake of the interview)...whatever is needed but to have a little grasp of the issue that concerns us at the time.
The only kudos I would give her is that its sometimes a skill to become famous by being that dumb. For this, a person either needs to be indeed pretty obvious or actually be pretty clever to play so dumb(a quick example I could think of is Sacha Cohen aka Ali G aka Borat who is actually a Cambridge graduate)

Guys, that show is made after American Idol, where many people have made a fool of themselves. That is what that girl did: she made a fool of herself.
Here is another Bulgarian doing the same, altough I find her name a bit peculiar:
Here is a clip from the original show:

I don't know why you have found her name a bit peculiar, it is very usual for Bulgaria. But she got the lyrics right, she just can not sing at all. Actually, this show would be a very boring one without all those incompetent and non-talented contestants in the beginning. They make the real laugh.

I think she is smarter than you think. She knew her singing was bad. But she wanted somehow to become a celebrity and she invented a way to achieve that. She tricked you. Her ignorance amuses you and you want to see her doing that over and over again. Why? That gives you a false comfort that we, each of us, after all, we are better than her and that reinforces our belief that we are not that bad and we may also be a way better than many other people around us. With media presenting people like her, loosers get some life and peace with themselves. The inferiority complex is satissfied.
This is the simplistic way media works. It values anything that makes people watch more and more regardless the quality of the content (unless it is porn or brutal violence,which is regulated by the law).
No surpise to see that media sticks to weird things rather than prefering more realy good and meaningful things. It is us who became weird. The media is our mirror...

Yahac, I am still getting impressions from the guys here in the forum but you strike me as the most annoying one with your constant attempts to be so clever and stuff. In my opinion you should be watching only the weather forecasts on TV. The rest is deep below your level. You know all.

See Yahac speak:
Yahac is not boring at all. As a member of Al Quida, he can decide to blow us up at any time. If you care for your family, you will show respect to Yahac.

check out the new Valentina Hassan club mix: if anything, it at least revived the fame of this otherwise great song.

In my opinion you should be watching only the weather forecasts on TV. The rest is deep below your level. You know all. I can't care less of your opinion. If your brain circuits burn because of my posts, let it be. That is because they are overloaded. Put a nice insulation around them if you want. No thinking allowed... You just listen to "Ken Lee" over and over until you are hypnotized. But here is place that people express their opinions. They don't need approval by you. You just need to live with that and let go. Don't be harsh on yourself. Take care drebosuk! ;D

Ti yavno si golyama pukanka, shtom tova e purvata obida, koyato ti idva naum. Kompleksi li imash, Yahac?
As for Ken Lee, occasionally people watch TV for simply having fun. You are not one of those, you watch even food shows thinking why God created food and was it with the only purpose to feed us or he had something deeper in mind.

Amazing, how this turned to be a hit... That girl's mother is probably a Bulgarian and her father an arab?!
