Why isn't Alex Thao famous?

it

this kids pretty damn good!!! 

takes more then just having talent to make it big.. First thing he should do is start singing in English, so he can reach more listeners..... Your limiting yourself by only speaking in Hmong...... Just think " Selena "

Just look at the most recent American Idol season. The white guy who likes country music beat the Asian/Mexican hybrid.

So what...it's pretty much a  fact that the number 2 and 3 AI winners seem to do better then the winner.....it's all about luck IMO....

Plain and simple......

If big Asian artist who's been trying to make it big like Se7en, BoA, Rain, Coco Lee, Utada..... can't make it big in the USA.  Hmong peeps who is unknown like Alex ain't gonna make it, let alone making it big in the Hmong community.

It's not that hard to put the facts together folks.

Point is, this is a white man's country. You won't see the Producers of 300 making a movie about Samurais or Mongols.

Like woofwoof said, if popular Asian singers can't even make it in the US, this Alex Thao doesn't stand a chance.

Bieber is Canadian, but he's white. That's all they care about.

Actually there's a big budget Hollywood movie called "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise. There's a big budget Hollywood movie coming out in summer 2014 called "The Last Nigger" starring Tom Hanks.

And I believe John Wayne starred in a Hollywood movie playing Genghis Khan back in the days.

sorry but he can't sing very well.  and he isn't very marketable so he will never make it big.  although i don't care for bieber, i will admit that he's pretty boss with the ladies.  alex thao just looks all kinds of awkward.
