Hong Kong music business is all about "support". and that support most often, if not always, means criminals and triads. Just look at Juno, he looks like a monkey, he sings like.... I don't even know how to express it... But his father buys, literaly buys, fans for him. $200 to scream his name, $300 to carry his banner, $400 to chase his car... The whole hongkong showbiz industry is controlled by triads, and I think everyone knows it, and those who deny it, are just fooling themselves. You can see how much "support" Joey Yung has. Once, there was this tv show, i think it was EYT, and there was this small time guy, who was very good at imitating people, and he imitated, and of cource ridiculed, after all, it's an entertainment show, Joey Yung. Not long after, he was assaulted by Emperor's henchmen.

"Ayumi however......"

You're definitely not alone in this! I agreed with everything you have said. I'm from Hong Kong by the way and i am so tired of people like Twins, Boyz, Edison, Cookies etc.!! They cannot sing, and they're very famous. When you look at them, you would think "Hey they're very good looking, i'll buy their CDs" And after you listened to the whole CD, you would really want to complain to the company. Most of the new artists DO NOT write or compose ANY of their songs, they don't even try.
One good point my friend told me some time ago, she told me MOST of the hong kong singers were MODELS. You get the point? The companies hired them not because of their singing skills, rather because of their looks! Just listen to Edison. OMG, he cant' even speak CANTONESE when he came out and he released like album after album. Just because he's good looking and is RICH, he gets to do things that many other talented people deserves to. That's why i resort to listen to Japanese songs, most of the HK people don't know..how to sing at all. There are a few HK oldies who are still out there who i acknowledged to be REAL singers. They are Miriam Yung, Kelly Cheng, GiGi Leung, Faye Wong of course. Please do not be offended by my opinions. These are merely my opinions and were not intended to offend anyone in any other way. |

*Shivers*
I was flipping through channels once and saw a Chinese music video on the International Channel.. man.. they all sound alike or they can't sing at all.. ![]() Eh... a reason why that some of the singers in Asia don't exactly 'grow up' to become adults/sound like adults/dress like them.. is because cuteness (I don't know if it exists in China, but it sure does in Japan.. the typical high pitched voice and good manners, etc such thing) is considered good. I can't stand listening to singers with voices that are sugar coated.. I admit that I don't really listen to a lot of Ayumi's old stuff because some of her songs kind of blew my ear drum out on several occasions.. ![]() ![]() How the hell do they find these people to sing anyway? Not just modeling.. but come on ![]()

I must say, most of the new HK or Taiwan artist is CRAP. They are most likely to be popular because they are cute, pretty or hot. And they have other offer (acting) because they are popular. Best example? Twins. They play in a tons of chinese movie but yet, they have no acting skills. They have no talent whatsoever when it comes to songwritting and vocally either. The new artists right now are just, not good. Plus, they lip synch. Ew.
I love older Chinese songs, so much better. (From artist that have been out there for long. (Andy Lau, Kelly Chen and other...) Not some talentless teen.) The new chinese artist suck. My mom think so too. She's always "Where the hell did all those teen artist came out? Their music is so bad." HAHA, i love my mom! Personally, i'm 15 and i prefer those older chinese songs. The ones that everybody knows. The classics. Those are amazing.

First, bates, lets get 1 thing straight; If I would like to insult Ayumi, I would do it openly, as I am not a person afraid of "causing uproar", and, I would do it in the appropiate thread. If I wanted to insult her, you wouldn't even used the word "attempting". you would know it for sure. Second, I know it's hard to see the *extremely* faint border between "cantopop" and "ayumi", but at least try to find it. And if it wasn't aimed at me, tough luck ========back on topic========= I favor the oldies too. The only "modern" artists I like are Kelly and HoCC. Imo the old songs were composed, written and sung in far superior quality compared to nowadays. Good old days with Anita Mui, Roman, Lesie etc etc.

The older singers in China look like they have a lot of experience and such.. and are well liked. however, with new people coming out, people just look at how pretty they look and when they hear them sing.. it's like OUCH MY FREAKIN ears.. I guess it's.. appearances is what matters in the Chinese singing industry..

Jay: I still love his song, QiLiXiang, but most of his song don't appeal me much. he can sing tho.. unlike many others. (On a sidenote: Jay isn't really cantopop. He doesn't sing in cantonese, and is from Taiwan) LMF: LMF is just funny. I have their album LazyMotherF.., you guys can guss what F stands for. I quite liked them. Not so much anymore, but that's because the only songs I have are like 3 years old.. they're getting worn out. Back in the days when they started to get popular, they shook things quite up in Hong Kong ![]() ![]()

Jay Chou definitely stands up to his name. He writes and composes MOST of his songs, unlike many of the other chinese artists who doesn't give a damn about writing or composing even one of their songs!
