omonatheydidChito Miranda, main vocalist of Philippine rock band Parokya ni Edgar, defended KPop against the haters with the following tweets...
Translation:
Chito's follower: Well, unless (those fans) understand what those (KPop singers) sing. That's why a lot of people are hating because those fans do not understand what those acts are singing in the first place.
Chito Miranda: So what if they do not know or understand what those acts are singing? As long as they enjoy what they are hearing, we should respect that. Music is not just about the lyrics, it's also about how it makes you feel. Why is it fun to sing "Butsekik" by Yoyoy Villame even if its lyrics do not make sense? Or what about "Five Years" by Sugar Hiccup? Anyway, we all have different reasons why we enjoy music. Sometimes it's because the singer is beautiful. I like this song as long as this singer sings it. Everyone has their own likings.
Chito Miranda: I love pop music. I love Girls' Generation, 2NE1, Gary Valenciano, and Sarah Geronimo. What I don't like are those Pinoys who imitate KPop*. They're so cheesy.
Chito Miranda: Girls' Generation are so badass! Their songs are beautiful, they even look cute dancing. Those Pinoys imitating KPop are nothing compared to them.
* He was referring to this and this.
