I like david tao and penny tai.....
i don't like f4, cos they can't sing, turned the beautiful song by hirai ken into crap!!!
btw, i seldom listen to chinese song.....just to have more topic with my friends, most of them listen to chinese song.....

I like listening to some Canto-pop every so often. I like Twins, Leon Lai (he's getting old however), Kelly Chen, Sammi Cheung, and LMF. For Taiwanese singers I like Elva Siu, Lee Hom Wang, and Richie Ren. :]

I don't like canto pop that much....for me, almost every songs sound the same.....

yeah, sadly LMF did break up

I love chinese music as well. I watched Turn Left Turn Right, great movie. Anyone know the lady that sing the songs for the movie?

You should hear my Sakai Noriko sing in Mandarin. She dedicated an entire CD, You Yuan Qian Li, to this type of music when she visited Taiwan in the early 1990's. On the CD, she even sings a duet with Eric Suan. The song's the only Mandarin song I can sing karaoke to.

WOW! :google: That's old-school noriko! do you understand the song, or do you karaoke-it (the song) phonetically, a-la romanji?

And "copy" others songs from another country.....they love to sing korean songs....just change it into chinese lyrics....
some of the chinese songs, their arrangement are very plain....if u know what i'm saying....

Well HK do tend to copy other things alot, and those definitly have some truth in it, but some chinese songs are pretty good as well.

As to LMF, I personally don't like them too much, but if you like them you should read some of their lyrics, funny stuff.

I do the romaji thing! However, one night I was complimented by a couple of guys from Micronesia, saying that they understood what I was saying.

Yeah, that's old-school alright... I think that was 1992. I'll try to MP3 my original CD later tonight.

yape i love chinese songs mainly because i'm chinese.. :hehe: i used to listen a lot of chinese songs until my friend infected me with MT virus (MT=Matsu Takako) :hehe: ... still listen a lot of chinese songs though.. but i hate those girl and boys bands nowadays most of them don't know how to sing... group like F4, SHE, Twins are all crap singers... :shakehead: :sweat:

Hmmm, Japan does that a lot, too. Don't know about Korea, but I think it might be an asian thing.

As for people who write their own songs, that happens in every country. Pretty much no pop star in America, China, or Japan write their own songs. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Hello Project, Sammi Cheng, Jacky Cheung, Johnny's Jimusho folks, SMAP, Kinki Kids, et al. The pop stars that compose their own songs (not just write their lyrics to a song they're fed) are the exception rather than the rule.
