“Android Girl” Sings Rihanna, Prettier Than “iPhone Girl”?

by on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 78 comments

Sweet-looking "Android Girl" sings Rihanna's "Take A Bow".

From Youku:

The previous iPhone girl was extremely hot/popular, and although the several that came afterward were not as hot/popular, they still became famous. This time, it’s Android MM turn to take the stage.

This video has been viewed over 1.1 million times on Youku in the past 3 days. The song she is singing is called “Take A Bow” by Rihanna.

A copy on YouTube:

Here are some of the “iPhone Girl” videos. Her name is Kim Yeo-hui, is Korean, and is different from the Foxconn “iPhone Girl” phenomenon last year:

    This is WAY better than that fake PixieTea girl from a few months ago. At least this one is real.

    I really wish Chinese people would be more creative about writing their own music and stuff. I’ve been playing with a band lately and am extremely frustrated at their inability to improvise.

    I’m like – it’s a 6 chord song in an E blues scale – these are the chords – just mess around in the scale and come up with a bassline – and the bassist is like “no you need to show me what notes to play” and I’m like “this is the key – I can’t tell you what notes to play because I don’t know, just make something up” and then they get annoyed with me.

    And I tell the singer – why just play cover songs – why not make up some lyrics of your own? And she’s like “I don’t know how to do that” and I’m like it’s easy – just start singing and think of some words and stuff – and she’s like “I don’t understand – it’s too difficult”.

      That pretty much sums up China as a whole, a country full of people with no imagination, with no creativity, with no inspiration, and a lack of willingness to try.

      They’ll only do something if they see that someone else has done it and that its a success.

          That’s an oft repeated cliche, but I don’t think it’s true. You’re not prevented from being innovative just because you can’t complain about the government. Now, I understand that certain risque themes are censored/banned in China, but stuff like this doesn’t fall under that category. Things like scientific invention does not require that you possess a democratic or liberal government. See the USSR, which made great leaps in science even as the population toiled under totalitarian Communism.

            creativity and critical thinking are similarly positioned points along the continuium. Ciritical thinking is by no means part of traditional (ie confucian) or communist society in China.
            however while not makeing new products as such, process are being laterally extended.

      I’ve been working in a Chinese high school for almost 5 years now, and I can speak from experience. None of you know what the f@ck you’re talking about (with apologies to Uber, who is trying to be a little better I think).

      As for the education system, I no longer think that it’s an issue of forcing creativity out for political purposes, I think it’s a result of an education system that has as its end goal the goakao exam, which they need to spend nearly their whole educational lives preparing for.

      If you’re in Beijing, why not hang out at Dong An (East shore) near the Houhai post office for some live jazz? Or maybe you should try coming out to swingbeijing to see some improvised swing dancing?

      Might give you something to be optimistic about.

      I see innovation and creativity around me every day in Beijing. Sure, maybe it’s not everywhere, but if you look for it, you’ll find it.

        On the point of creativity being an issue I must say I agree but with all of you.But on the point of the government being the problem of creativity maybe not true depending on how you look at it. I can remember almost picking a fight with a fellow colleague who plays and teaches piano because I ask her to play something on one of my songs and she was like :”what note?” And I was like “listen to the other beat and and song play anything” And she was like “how can I do that?” And I was like “just do it “and so on and…….. at the end nothing good came out. Now at school all what they do each time they need to do some advertisement or school activity I always try to give some ideas but nobody ever listens to me or always pretends to listen and at the end of the day the guys just log onto the internet and see who can pick out the best idea that somebody else is using and that is it. Even the school logo was just pick up from some web site. Nobody really cares to think and come up with something new and innovative. And in all of these except I am misjudging, I don’t see how the government is responsible.

      I’m sorry but I really can’t think of anything funny to say, I had a hard day at work and I’m too fucking exhausted to be creative

      The Android girl doesn’t look unnatural at all and although her facial features may be a little a-typical for a Korean, they’re not uncommon. Plenty of my family members have much rounder eyes than hers and they’ve never had any work done.

      Her English is well pronounced but stunted and misemphasised but I guess you guys already figured that out by now. I much prefer the fat Taiwanese boy who sings like Whitney Houston, why was there never a Chinasmack post about him?

    “See the USSR, which made great leaps in science even as the population toiled under totalitarian Communism.”

    No only exceed in certain area, while is was greatest benefit for “the state”.

    The Western world strenght is can turn innovative development into commercialization for the mass and thus make life easier.

    Soviet Union made remarkable achivement within Biology, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, physics. Both theroretical and implementation

    And their aerospace and aviation industry was kick-ass.

    But unfortunately, the average Soviet citizens never drove a decent car or have a hi-tech Commodore 64, the system had it shortcoming.

    Soviet Union and PRC are not comparable, to much difference

    Soviet Union imploded and collapse, the West dind’t.

      They are commenting on the English because they do not know what country she is from. They are trying to guess from her English accent. That is the reason. I think everyone tries to guess what country someone is from through their spoken language accent.

      depends on the environment. Put Koreans and Chinese in an English speaking environment to learn from scratch, Koreans will always have a distinct accent. Even if they’re ABK. Prob because they hang out in their own little packs and speak nothing but Korean. Chinese varies, some will forever suck and some lose any trace of accent after 5 years.

Nothing about their looks really stands out, but it’s fine. Nobody will complain and turn them away if one of them shows up at your doorstep.

    Well, I’m not so sure that those are the only two options. Creating a lasting change in the education system can’t be taken lightly. One immediate problem that comes to mind is: how many teachers would be prepared to actually start teaching instead of just lecturing? The universities would have to start teaching teaching methods that they’re probably not familiar with, and then you would need to wait a while before you had enough newly qualified teachers in the job market to institute an across the board change.
    That’s just one problem that comes to my sleepy mind right now, I’m sure there are plenty more.

    Heh, your world is fun – “just do it!” seems to be the slogan. Fair enough, but some people prefer to do things in a considered careful way.

    “7 years and no change isn’t taking things seriously, it’s doing nothing.”
    Not true. First, qualify what you’re saying – no “visible” change. That doesn’t mean they aren’t talking about it. In fact, in the last several CPCCCPCPPCPCCP forums they’ve been talking about it a lot. Considering the state of the education system in the West, which is far from perfect let me assure you, can you blame them for not wanting to just jump headlong into some completely different way of doing things? Wouldn’t it be better to try to find methods that combine what you have now (good memorization skills, math skills) with some parts of different systems? Which parts to include, which parts to discard? Just changing for the sake of changing but with no considered thought is just as bad as leaving it the way it is.

    “Anyone who is good. If they aren’t good fire them. There are TONS of people looking for jobs out there, start training them in better teaching techniques.”
    I’m going to assume you’re joking here. How many “good” teachers do you think there are? Who decides if someone is “good” or “bad”? Who teaches the teachers the “good” techniques when no one has even decided what the “good” techniques are? Sure there are tons of people looking for jobs out there, but how many of them would make even “good” teachers?

    “7 years… and nothing. They aren’t training anyone in new methods, they aren’t encouraging new methods, they aren’t doing anything.”
    I’ll refer you up to what I said before.

    Look, there are lots of different theories out there about what is the best way to educate people. When you’re planning a country-wide change to something so vital as the way it educates its children, why would you want to hurry? 7 years as opposed to the entire future of your country is a small amount.
