Back in 2007, I fell in love with a nerd. And that my friends would be Khalil Fong. He loves me too, it's a shame though that he doesn't know it yet. *sigh* I saw through an album recommendation in chinesemusicblog.com (Because I wanted more than the usual classic and pop songs I usually hear in Mandarin.) Lo behold, someone suggested "This Love", his second, and at the time most recent album. Black and white cover, shades and looking a little cocky, I gave a try. Someone said RnB, and apart from Jay Choud and LeeHom who sometimes delve into the genre, I knew of no one else.

It was love at first song.

And that love grew exponentially as one song played after another.

It was true love baby! I couldn't get enough, I immediately went looking from his first album, true enough all I find was more love from him. How romantic!

And despite knowing mandarin a teensy bit, I hardly knew what he was singing about, I didn't care! As long as I heard his voice, I could care less if he was cursing at me. (But of course not, my Khalil wouldn't do that.) Now who would've thought I'd melt even more after I learned the lyrics? Now I'm even more crazy about him knowing he's a kung fu master! (hahahahahahaha)

And it's weird I never took the time to blog about his songs here. When in fact a lot of his songs took a whole lot of space in my head playing over and over again, in a period of MONTHS. But I never got tired of him. Why would I ever be? It's true nerd love. Maybe I was just selfish to share him to the rest of the world. But sure enough by his third album, he was steadily gaining popularity, and more importantly, recognition for the genius that he really is.

Khalil Fong, if I haven't been clear enough, I LOVE YOU!

(And I'm not someone who openly screams her love to just anyone too.)

Now, after all this time, why am I blogging about this now? It seems to that there's another guy who is also worthy of my attention, CROWD LU! I have yet to hear his album, but the clips I've seen so far in youtube are quite promising, and what's funny is that the first time I noticed him was when he was performing together with Khalil. Both so adorkable. I'll choose them over any pretty boy. I only regret that I didn't hear of him sooner. (I sorta layed off the internet during the semester.)

and Crowd (weird name, I know) can even do Vitas. Ain't that hot? :p
