S1E29: Stefanie Sun and the 2000 Mandopop scene!: Pop Vultures Ep 29

Pop Vultures Ep 29: Stefanie Sun and the 2000 Mandopop scene! 28:54 mins Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood. Can you believe it's been 20 years since homegrown songstress Stefanie Sun debuted, singing Cloudy Day (Tee Aw Aw..) - her first big hit of a song? As one of Singapore's most famous music exports celebrates her 20th anniversary in showbiz, the #PopVultures dive into her music and the factors that went into making her famous. What made Yanzi special and why did her music, especially her first album, and her image stand out among a sea of new singers? The #PopVultures tuck into these questions all with a side of early 2000s Mandopop nostalgia that includes cameo mentions of Jay Chou, A-mei, Jimmy Liao and more. Listen to the end to find out which Stefanie Sun songs make Jan and Sam Jo's favourites list and which one is possibly a little problematic in retrospect!
