I'M NOT acting cute, I am naturally adorable. That's Jocie Guo's message to her detractors.
Yes, those of you who think the Singaporean singer is a tad too old to be prancing around like some cringe-worthy Disney fixture, it doesn't matter.
The 27-year-old is unabashedly cute, like it or not.
Ever since she burst onto the Mandopop scene three years ago with her song Bu Pa Bu Pa, a cover of the popular Eurodance anthem Dragostea Din Tei (also known as The Numa Numa Song), Jocie has become known for her saccharine sweet vocals and kiddy lyrics.
But fame can be a double-edged sword. While her two albums, No More Panic and My Darling, did well, winning her a slew of Best Newcomer awards in China and Hong Kong, not everyone appreciates the blatant flaunting of cuteness.
On popular Chinese forum Baidu, some netizens referred to her take on Numa Numa as 'brainless' and 'a song that you can only listen to in the toilet'.
