Cantopop vs. Mandopop
 

What do you prefer, or rather, what makes up a bigger percentage of your library?

Mandarin for me...I can understand some of it, but not Cantonese. I also tend to prefer the trends of Taiwanese artists over HK artists, with some notable exceptions (Karen Mok....OH MY GOD KAREN MOK!!!!)

Sorry, mods, I thought I was in the polls subforum when I posted this. >_<;

Mandarin pop

C-pop.

Mandopop

I rarely listen to cantopop...Something about the language when sung is a bit weird for me~ But I do like some of the classics in cantopop

Mandopop for sure :yes

Ngl, that's how I feel, too. I mean, I listen to some stuff in Cantonese, but Mandarin dominates my Chinese music folder for sure.

Mandopop. Cantopop is too accented for my liking, especially in ballads. Plus I've been exposed more to Mandopop.

mandarinnn!! canto just doesnt sound as good :P

Mandarin pop

Mandarin pop :)

eeeh call me stupid but what's the difference? xD.

AyuHamasaki01: language ;)

Canto / Mando.. it is really hard question, mandarin chinese sounds a little bit better for my ears, but my most favourite artists sing in cantonese (Joey, Karen etc.)
so i cant choose ..i just prefer chinese music :)

if jolin is a Mando so it's my favorite then :D

I always think people speaking/singing in Cantonese are fighting....

both equally!

I like them both equally.

I understand Mandarin music more than Cantonese music though.

mandopop. but one thing i dont really like about mandopop is that their lyrics usually dont make any sense.

Mandopop, it doesn't seem as boring as Cantopop in my opinion. Sad thing is, I understand Cantonese better than Mandarin. LOL

I don't really hear the difference but whatever xD Thanks. :yes

This. :yes

This...seriously the cookie cutter karaoke ballad trend needs to DIE ALREADY.

Also, Cantonese inflection does sound a bit strange to me, but only since I began to learn Mandarin. Before then, I couldn't always hear the difference. Now I wonder how I could have possibly gotten them confused. :shakehead

Some HK artists who also sing in Mandarin do their best work in Cantonese though. :heart

I listen to Mandarin Pop mostly, like Jolin, Jay Chou, Jam Hsiao, A mei etc... they all have good music :)
but Cantonese Pop - OMG, I love Eason Chan <--------------- he is actually the only cantonese-speaking artist i listen to. One of my all-time favorite singers. <333 his music is VERY good~~!

i dont listen him so much, but his album Listen To Eason Chan is masterpiece! One of the best canto albums :)

Mando :)

Mandopop!!!

I like some Cantonese bands, but mostly I stick with TWpop/rock.

Even though im a chinese but i seems to love listening to other languages other than my own language..(god knows how long i have not been listening to mandopop artist like 5 years ago?!!?)

Cantopop for me~ there are some who have good vocals.

MANDO FTW 100%

Mandopop ftw! I can't stand cantopop (no offence here).

I understand some mandarin, and i know only like 3 words in cantonese. My favourite chinese singers are Angela Chang and Stephanie Cheng, one is from Taiwan, the other one from HK... Well, i don't know, i guess i have more mando songs in my library, because i also listen to mainland china music. So i choose mandopop.

Both about equally
