I'm sure most people would have heard of the song 紅豆. It was very popular when i was a kid, even though i didn't know the name of the song then and didn't know who sang it, I thought the song was pretty good. And mind you, my chinese wasn't known to be exactly at its best then...i wasn't frequently listening to chinese songs (*digress* but i did manage to pick up a few nice songs from way back then which i liked. I only became a advid listener to chinese songs and the radio station 933 when i was passed down my home's old spoilt cd player, but radio works and still is like a charm!:D) as I am right now...mayday wasn't out yet. XP haha!:P

Recently I heard a cover version done by Khalil fong...but before that let me share with you the original first....Here**
Mv not much of a show stopper...so unless your a big fan you can just catch the song while surfing around....
Not too long ago or recently i should think mr方大同 did a cover of this song...



No original mv...so i also suggest listening while surfing the rest of my blog! lol.:P unless you want the lyrics....

A cover of red bean.What khalil never fail to do with any song is to put a stamp of his own on it. Whether he writes a song for someone else, or when he sings his own songs even when he does covers. If i were someone who had never listen to the original i would think that this song was done by him. I thought the video of the live version sounded more interesting but the video was shaky. Khalil doesn't fail to deliver because he adds something of this own to the song unlike how sometimes when cover versions are done, it seems as if they murdered the song and brought no justice to it...but i wouldn't say it was very super impressive or very distinctively different from that of the original.

Have a listen.
Which version did you like? :)
