最近在MTV台看到Akon新歌：“Sorry, Blame it on me”。有一陣子又沒在聼英文歌了，好在房内有MTV台可以看才不至於對於新R & B類別歌曲太陌生。
從I wanna love you開始注意起Akon這號人物，然後在接觸Smack that、Blown away、Mr.lonely..每一首都是歐美大hit歌。走在英國的街頭，處處可以聽到“i wanna fxxk you.....”，這就是Akon式的幽默吧？
還記得剛聽到I want to love you (Dirty version)的時候，在同事車上，當時沒太仔細聼，只覺得旋律優美，歌聲動人深情，結果聼聼不對...這個人唱的不是我想像中的浪漫，而是一直吟唱著：“I wanna fXXk you fxxk you,you’ve already known....”完全讓人哭笑不得，妙的是居然不讓人覺得低級和下流。
這就是Akon的魅力。然後Mr.Lonely前面那段哀傷的卡通版開場也讓人會心一笑，整首曲子讓人覺得真的很lonly, but in a cute way，不是往常聼的那種無病呻吟。
“Sorry, Blame it on me”其實也不是很新，都出來了幾個月了，不過我是這幾天才接觸到，一聼即愛。歌詞依舊走的是Akon式的黑色幽默。前面誠懇，後面卻損人不帶髒字。配上Akon誠摯無奈的歌聲，天衣無縫。
Akon人紅是非多，許多負面新聞不斷湧出，且不論其中的真假，畢竟對於我來説他的音樂才是我會關注的，他和Gwen Stefani的緋聞等，真的無所謂。
不過如果這些是非能激發他更多的好音樂的話那也算是不幸中的大幸吧。起碼他不會像Britney Spear除了負面新聞就是負面新聞，重新的粉墨登場卻讓人譏笑說登不上大雅之堂。Akon的緋聞讓他多了一手好歌，或許這就是不同人面對事情不同的處理態度吧？！
我覺得Birtney在MTV台的表現被人批評不夠專業等惡毒評語，就能説明爲什麽華人樂壇爲何無法成功的打入國際市場的原因吧？時下華人樂壇能登入國際舞臺的有幾個呢？那些不入流的表演者充斥著各大小表演臺。歌聲藝皆不佳的新輩藝人還能帶給我們多少的期望呢？期望既蔡依林之後能有如她這般次次帶來驚喜的舞臺型藝人。
觀衆不會希望每個藝人都有靈魂，因爲這世界上沒有太多的張曼玉和王菲。但會期望看到除了露奶露底以外的東西。各位女明星，什麽時候可以收奶和合起你的貴腿來呢？
再回原話題，外國人在先天上佔有許多優勢，加上科技和人才訓練比亞洲進步，我們自然較崇尚外國的月亮。蔡瀾先生說過華人的民族本身較悲觀且認命。所以我覺得華人永遠都是被人欺負的命，凡事都是忍忍忍，從沒勇氣去反抗，自然幽默感就少了許多。
如果我們的人生能有像Akon式的黑色幽默，談笑風生之餘還能損人，那麽就算任何無理的事情怪罪在你身上，你也可以大聲地唱：“You can put the blame on me”

As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that
I’ve done and things that haven’t occurred yet
and things that they don’t want to take responsibility for
I’m sorry for the times that I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I’m sorry for the times I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times I disrespect
I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done
I’m sorry I’m not always there for my sons
I’m sorry for the fact that I’m not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I’m in the streets like everyday
I’m sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I’m so proud to call you my girl
I understand that there’s some problems
And I’m not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can’t apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me
I’m sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
I’m sorry that you had to go and sell those bags
Just trying to stay busy until you heard from dad
When you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though pops treated us like kings
He got a second wife and you didn’t agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief
[Sorry, Blame It On Me lyrics on
http://www.metrolyrics.com]
I’m sorry that your son was once a thief
I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would’ve listened and not been so bad
I’m sorry that your life turned out this way
I’m sorry that the feds came and took me away
I understand that there’s some problems
And I’m not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can’t apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to see
But they were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
And for the embarrassment that she felt
She’s just a little young girl trying to have fun
But daddy should’ve never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn’t anybody want to take blame
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you
Even though the blame’s on you
Even though the blame’s on you
I’ll take that blame from you
And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
