Guessed it before the punchline. ---

Yeah, the whole thailand hint makes it obvious. ---

Well it took me by surprise. After the build up, I was expecting something involving ping pong balls. ---

Obviously Stoid has never been to Thailand. Maybe Siam Sam can chime in on how popular this show is and the candidate? ---

I too got it right away. To answer the question in the title: not creepy at all, but also not so cool, just because the songs sucks. ---

Thailand is to this, what Nigeria is to finance. ---

I have no idea if it’s good or not. Does her voice sound normal in the language? I mean, apparently the judges were fooled, but if I were to talk and speak that way in English, I’m pretty sure people would notice before I dropped my voice. I don’t know if she’s actually doing anything special with her feminine voice or if Joe Thai off the street could do it. ---

> [@China\_Guy](#): > > Obviously Stoid has never been to Thailand. Maybe Siam Sam can chime in on how popular this show is and the candidate? I _think_ the show is popular, but apart from BBC and MTV, I never watch television, and I certainly wouldn’t watch Thai television, which is pure crap. This particular episode made it into the news, so I already knew the “secret”; but this is the first time I’ve actually seen the performer, and I would have pegged her right away – so to speak – even if I had not known.
