I was sitting in front of the TV the other night when this video got my attention:
It's Sam Concepcion's cover of Kung Fu Fighting, the theme song of the animated movie Kung Fu Panda. Dreamworks is doing a Disney here in having regional artists record their own versions of music from the movie.
The other Asian to do a cover of the same song is a Korean - Rain Jung Ji Hoon:
Rain's version is a bit more subdued and more of a club or dance song compared to Sam's version which is definitely pop.
The American version is by Cee-Lo Green, who's got a more powerful voice than the other two:
Sam's video is more fun to watch though... Cee-Lo and Rain don't do much in their videos other than sing. Sam gets to do some fun acting in his.
Can't wait for Kung Fu Panda to be shown in Philippine theaters in June. I like Jack Black when he's doing animated movies... and I adore the not-animated movie where the role was perfect for him: School of Rock.
