Richard Poon Should Release An Original Song and Not Rely On Remakes
I know that Richard Poon's handlers are packaging him like our local version of Michael Buble. Doing remakes of standards is well and good and that tactic worked to catapult Michael Buble to where he is now - but Michael also has some very good original songs - Home, Everything, Haven't Met You Yet! And by coming out with those good songs, the Academy finally gave him a Grammy this year!
Undeniably, Richard has both the charm and the looks and the voice, but I hope he includes maybe at least three original songs in his album and promotes at least one of those. It would make him a more interesting artist. I get bored with artists who just do covers. Who needs an American Idol clone? We can get that on TV everyday!
Now, he has another remake of an APO classic. It's a nice try but doesn't really do anything new to the song. And to his career. Yeah, Filipinos love those who make remakes, but for fans like me who want people with real talent, we can just easily shrug him off as a karaoke singer who can sing standards well. Not until he shows the true colors of his talent......
