Phnom Penh - Cambodia's leading pop heartthrob has backed down on threats of legal action against a farmer who named a stud bull after him, the singer said Friday.
The nation's most popular singer-actor, Preap Sovath, 36, had threatened legal action against the owner of a 10,000-dollar Brahman breeding bull he named after the sex symbol.
Sovath was quoted in a range of local media to be taking action to protect his wife, who had reportedly become distressed after seeing advertisements offering the services of the bovine Preap Sovath for 100 dollars per mating, with satisfaction guaranteed.
But Friday the Cambodian equivalent of Ronan Keating said he would not be taking any action.
'No, no, no. I don't care anymore and I am too busy,' Sovath said by telephone.
Theories for the change of heart abound, including a rumour it was partly due to the unsuitability of alternative names offered by the farmer.
A moniker such as 'Little Preap' was unlikely to enhance the careers of either the bovine or bopping version of the star, fans admitted.

Not my favorite singer. The guy can't sing, so he advertise his body, fashion, and decoration. These type of people is a bad role model for Cambodia.
Singing is an art of expressing the mood of a song, just like an a movie actor act out a story in a movie, and I doubt that he know anything about that.
So u think u know..??
What can u do..?? Better than him?
Well, it's ur rights to bark..oops. to speak!!
But if u dn't like him millions ppl in n out of Cambo like hime..!! Right..?
Sihanouk sings better than Preap SoVat ha ha !
Listen his songs on his website, like the very old cock.
What the nasty prince Sihanouk!
people have different talen to make a living, for sure i'm not good at singing that why i'm not singer, but this guy is singer, some how i cant understand most of the word he sang, he may try tp attrach media right now, because he a bot down on popularity.
He should be honored for having a bull named after him ! :) funny though. But I always thought his face looks like "Trey Andeng" catfish.
Preab Sovath can't sing. He just yells "Warrrrk wak warrr wark" from his catfish lung-- that is if he got one ! I never like his voice.
This guy think too much of himself. He looks more like a dog catcher than a singer. Though should be given credit for modernizing Khmer music into the main steam. Khmer music was mostly traditional. ram vong, etc....' Lastly, he can't sing.. he yell a lot into the mic and make funny faces like he's taking a shit.
But I have to give credit for making a living..and modernizing khmer music into the main stream.
10:28 what main stream?
New wave?
Hip Hop?
Rock & role?
Jash?
Blue?
Sole?
Latine?
Beter stay with Ramvong!!!!
Sihanouk is the worst singer in Cambodia ha ha !
Listen to his songs on his website, he sang like the very old cock.
What the nasty Sihanouk!

Pigeon savath should thank the bull's ownwer for naming his animal after him.Now he can make a living beside singing by becoming a khmer gigolo.He is a terrible singer anyway.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\XXXXXX
11.51 you should think of out box and x for 3.23,
This is one of many cons about internet. It allows cowardly people to voice their belligerence comments without shame. Sovat may not be the best singer, but I'm sure there a reason why we know whose Preap Sovat is. Yes his best singing day has been gone for years ago.
For the people that thinks He can't sing, please name other singers that has more CD sold then Preap Sovath...
Well, that is not good enough. We want real singer, not fake singer who got connection in the recording industry. That will make Cambodia look bad.
Here's what good singing should sound like:

his is what we called Generation X! Yes, some of us still listen to Rom Vuong, but the fact of the matter is todays music is for our kids. Today's beat is too fast for us and yesterday's beat is too slow for the energetic teens. It's adaptions!

Very true! No comparison there!
When he make his US tour........ I heard it was sold out at Portland, Oregon.
Yeah, but people don't go there to listen to his singing. They go to the concert to see the stupid light show, loud music, pretty girls, and fashion, and that's about it.
