Kissing 101: Asians Do It Better
January 10th, 2007 by dd
Last week two Singaporean singers, JJ Lin and A-Do, shared a smooch in the sixth and final leg of the ‘Just JJ World Tour‘ in Taipei. A same-sex lip lock shocked the audience, due more to its unexpectedness than its implications.
Do people really get worked up over Girl/ Girl or Boy/ Boy kisses anymore? It’s a bit ‘old hat’ by now and it’s not as if Asian audiences haven’t seen it before with Stefanie Sun and Jolin Tsai, Tanya Chua and Fish Leong, and in another variation, Stefanie and Fish. And in the US, Madonna and Britney Spears did it in front of millions of television viewers on that conservative little station, MTV.
According to the online site, Electric Singapore, JJ and A-do, who has been his regular concert guest star, had previously kissed each other on the cheeks or held hands in some of the other five shows, triggering reports and rumours about their sexuality.
Before this most recent kiss, however, A-do, 32, had teased: ‘I didn’t bring any presents, so shall I give (him) a French kiss?’ To which the 25-year-old singer songwriter egged A-do on, adding that ‘Jolin and Elva (Hsiao) kissed in the former’s concert, so shall we have a male version? I’ve never kissed a guy before!’
JJ then suggested the unthinkable stunt: ‘Let’s do it mouth to mouth.’ However, when A-do took a step forward, JJ stepped back immediately. He declared: ‘I must first clarify that we like girls.’
*YAWN* Listening to people talk about their intention to kiss is about as exciting as watching Bush trying to put a sentence together without stumbling like an idiot.
What was interesting was A-Do’s comment afterwards when he remarked, “’Kissing him is like kissing a little kid. It’s more like I sayang (Malay for ’showing affection’) him… Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility!”.
Hello?! Who the hell kisses little kids on the mouth affectionately?! EWWWWW!!!
Sorry for that imagery. To help alleviate those images, I’ve included links that show other more appealing lip locks. The first is a “Kissing How To” for the kissing impaired.
