I like the music piece by Dick lee called 'Rasa Sayang' because of its catchy tune. The song clearly shows what Singapore is, a multi-racial society which is a food and shopping paradise.

I think that Dick Lee's RASA SAYA is very nice. The beat and the tune of the rap is very nice and it flows along. I love it!

The style is unique too!

He turn the songs into a different feel. The tune, beat, rythem, although it's the same lyrics, he simple slightly change the melody and add in something more. It make the song a different one. Just like a brand new song.

i think dick lee turned this classic song into a very morden and 'hip' song by adding a verse of rap into the original song . great flow, and the rythm matches the original tune.

Its nice and intresting..
Dick lee's style of singing and composing and a good sense of rhythm..

Dick lee made his music attractive by inserting different kinds of languages in his music.it consisted of a Malay folk song and a self-made english rap.The rap captivates audience with it's range of rhyming words.Its fast beat also appeals to people who loves challenges,as rapping can put your articulation and speed to the test. Many love folk songs as they are warming to the heart and is very welcomed with old people that lives in the modern days.

He actually combined the folk song (RASA SAYANG) with a modern genre - RAP. This makes it a double combo of traditional and modern.

They were very good. However, I preferred Rasa Sayang. It was funny because of the singing style. The texture changes. It started of with choir then to solo singing

It's kinda funny at the beginning, there's too much rap in between making the audience feel bored. The performance is quite ok. The music goes with the melody and harmony though i don't like it as it's a little too old fashion for me.

I think the composer discibes the feeling towards singapore, what he feels about the place & what he loves in singapore. its good as the video shows them wearing different races outfits.this could attacts everyone's interest & its close to people's daily lives.its pop & fast, young people would like it even if its a quit old song.

The music is nice and funny. There are 4 different types of languages like english, malay, chinese and tamil. However, there are a lot of using of singlish, which is not good for our english. But with the combination of rapping, which we can also say remix, it will make the song nice and hilarious!

Some of the parts are very messy which makes me dizzy, however the lyrics are all very funny and i like the sudden change from the rap to the middle song.. it is so funny. he sings in his own style which make him special. xD

The music was kind of funky with the old school way where it was a mixture of rap, 4 diffrent languages that represents the mix culture in singapore and the old malay folk song 'rasa sayang'. This kind of attracts people to listen to diffrent types of genres in one song.

The music was sort of a combination of rapping and a folk song.The style was also kind of retro. They also uses the different languages the show that Singapore is a multi-racial country. The song is a funny song meanwhile is is also trying convey messages about Singapore and the community

Rasa Sayang is a song that brought us laughter,we really enjoyed it to an extent.
the song has a homophonic texture and the melody usually starts in an unique way example 1,2,3 in different languages,lyrics has singapore's languages/religions/foods, it bring fords harmony and laughter to us in many ways it can. it stops suddenly with a rock & roll music and we thought that it has changes its tune but it didnt...
overally its a good song to hear,but not for long...that is.

It's funny and interesting in the beginning, but there's too much rap in between making audience feel bored soon. The music goes with the melody and harmony though i don't like the music as it's kinda old-fashion for me.

The tempo of this music is quite nice. The texture of it is not regular. The rhythm of the piece is not constant as it started off slow and in the middle, it is rather fast and ended off slow. Overall, the music is quite okay to me but i DO NOT LIKE the video as the video is rather messy. =(
