Cutesy Lenka wins over Asian fans

http://www.scmp.com/video/

Audiences in North America and Europe may not know what to make of her uplifting and cutesy piano-dominated pop, but Australian singer Lenka Kripac, known professionally by her first name, and her style have a special resonance with Asian fans.

"Festival audiences are great because of their excitement and energy but there's a frenzy to Asian audiences which is great to play off. If they are high energy, we are, and the whole thing escalates to an amazing level," Lenka said when she visited Hong Kong last month.

Lenka's work has a child's innocence and purity of imagination as its central themes, which play well with Asian crowds, she said, adding: "I'm trying to keep alive this spirit of wonder, naivety and simplicity."

Hear someone casually talk about interesting and harmless cultural differences

Call her racist

Sorry, I don't know what are you talking about... Asian acts the same way to their local Asian artists no matter male or female, it just a fans thing....that's nothing to do with hot white girl or hot Asian girl...
