My Favourite Singer

Bird Thongchai McIntyre

He is artist, he is singer, he is actor, he is entertainer and many people call him "superstar". He is Thongchai McIntyre or Thai people usually call "Pi Bird" ("pi" means older brother in Thai language). Many people also call him "Bird Thongchai" or "Bird Mcintyre". Whatever people call him, he usually says please call him just "Bird".  
      His most memorable roles in Thai television drama series include Captain Kobori from Koogam , a tragic love story between a Japanese soldier (played by Bird) and a Thai girl (Ungsumalin) during the World War II. He was captain Kobori again when Grammy Film made "Koogam" movie or English name "Sunset at Chaopraya". Among his best-known songs are Prik Kee Noo (bird chilli) , Boomerang , Sabai Sabai (relax relax) and Kob Jai Jing Jing (Thank you truly) . His popular singles released recently include luk thung singles Mah Tummai (with Jintara Poonlarp ), Fan Ja (with Jintara, Nat Myria Bennedetti and Katreeya English ), Lao Su Kan Fang , and Yak Tham Kor Tob and Mai Kang Ying Pae from his album "Volume One".

       However, an amazing thing is that his fame and popularity remain virtually intact, regardless of time. His album "Chud Rab Khaek" has a sales record of more than 3 million copies. He could sing just about anything, and millions of people will listen. Wherever he makes an appearance, people will do anything just to get a glimpse. As unbelievable as it may seem, some simply cry, when he gives them a hug. Tickets to his concerts are always sold out. Business companies would pay him anything to have him as their presenter. Who would have thought that almost 20 years after his beginning, he would still be Number One artist to millions of people? No one has ever stayed at the top this long.

       When asked about the secret of his success his fans believe it lies within his determined intention, undiminished diligence, uncanny talents, and last but not least, his profound gratitude to his mother. Thai people have a deep respect, and love for family especial for Mothers who are believed to teach a child good character. By whatever means it is, he does prove that it takes much more than being a good-looking guy or having a beautiful voice to be a superstar. Since, obviously, there are many other good-looking people swith incredible voices. Yet, no one has come this far, not even close.

Too Much So Much Very Much is the latest album in 2010
