Of "Asian Reggae"

Lordy.

Kong Hee takes the stand and appall us further with their so called justifications for Project Crossover.

Here, we help our readers save time and bring them straight to the eye-rolling points. If you would like to read the full article, read on below.

1. They enlisted the help of hip hop artiste, Wyclef Jean to help Sun Ho create Asian reggae.
Oh yes. Get the help of a Haitian to make better Asian Reggae. Btw, our ears fail us. What the heck is Asian reggae?

2. Sun Ho's career would have helped open doors in the US... to the non-Christians.
It appears there are not enough non-Christians in Singapore for City Harvest to well, harvest.

3. Hits on Youtube.
To Kong Hee, each time the China Wine video is clicked, it is a hit. Doesn't matter that we are put off by it.

4. "Hips don't lie worked for Shakira", says Kong Con Hee.
Sacrilegious! The last we looked, Sun Ho bears no resemblance at all to Shakira. Ho's voice can lie. Shakira has an IQ of 140. Think Project Crossover... let's not even go there.

We refuse to be harvest by City Harvest.

Sun Ho was uncomfortable with Asian reggae style: Kong

 

Kong said he scrutinised budget for her debut English album

SINGAPORE — Latino reggae worked well for Colombian songstress Shakira in her hit song, Hips Don’t Lie, but singer Ho Yeow Sun was not sure that reggae music was her style, City Harvest Church co-founder Kong Hee told the court this morning (Aug 12).

Well known songwriter and performer Wyclef Jean had been roped in to produce Ms Ho’s debut English album in 2006, and wanted it to feature Asian reggae music. But Kong, who is facing charges of criminal breach of trust, said his wife Ho felt reggae music was not her style and was uncomfortable, despite the hits her single China Wine — featuring Wyclef — was getting on YouTube.

By Feb 2008, Wyclef wanted to re-record Ms Ho’s upcoming album. But things did not work out and both sides parted ways later that year and the album was never released.

Breaking into the US market would have opened doors for the church’s Crossover Project to reach out to non-Christians, Kong said.

He said he always scrutinised the budget for the album and, where possible, would independently work through assumptions made by American music producer Justin Herz in his profit and loss projections.
