Coldplay ft. Rihanna – Princess of China music video
July 23, 2012 by Yein Jee
Music video for Princess of China by British rock band Coldplay, featuring Barbadian singer Rihanna. The band released the song on radio in February but the MV only came out in June. Decent music and great video to go with it…
Not so China?
While generally praised, the MV drew some criticism that it's not really Chinese. Thing is, although some of the elements are famously associated with other cultures (Thai and Japanese), there could be found in China too.
And let's not forget that many East Asian traditions originated from ancient China.
Besides, it's obvious that the Asian elements are taking reference from pop culture products. Many of the scenes reminded me of Chinese director Zhang Yimou. And the fight scenes probably came from Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Take the "China" part with a pinch of salt and this is a nice piece of entertainment.

January 7, 2009 by Yein Jee
Barbadian R&B star Rihanna has promised to cover up for her Kuala Lumpur concert on February 13th to adhere to the Malaysian on-stage dress code, of which a female performer must be covered from shoulders to knees.
Taking lesson from last year's Avril Lavigne's concert which was almost cancelled because her show was deemed too sexy, the organiser of Rihanna's concert is fast to act on the issue before any conservative protest could heat up.
Rihanna's KL concert, which is part of the Good Girl Gone Bad world tour, will be held at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on Feb 13. Refer to the above poster for ticketing details.
[Update] The concert is postponed indefinitely following reports that she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown.
