i love tension. they're not great looking but they sing so well.
IF ANYBODY HAS THE MP3 "TIMELESS" PLEASE PM ME.

david tao and jay chou aren't bad either :)

Lemme update my list, mmkay?

- Jay Chou. Lovelovelovelovelove. His voice (and, uh, appearance) is mediocre, I suppose, in comparison to his lovely melodies and sweet lyrics. But I love this guy. 枫, 黑色毛衣, anyone?
- Alex Wang. His voice...his hotness...his songs...they're freaking amazing.
- David Tao. I love his uber sad cry-in-the-corner songs, like 寂寞的季節 and Sha Tan. I love his voice, too.
- Leo Ku. He's made an AMAZING comeback after all those years shooting dramas. Nice to listen to when you're feeling pop-y and mainstream.
- Eason Chan. His album, U-87 was fantastic. He's always full of variety,character and personality, and I love that.
- Joey Yung. Truly one of the best right now. I like her image change, and she's one of the only Hong Kong female singers nowadays that can sing. Actually sing, I mean. Miriam Yeung pales in comparison.
- Denise Ho. I love her for being a little different, for adding some variety to the HK music scene.
- Janice Wai. Or Wei. Or something.... One of my favourite among newcomers. Her voice is really strong, and I like her R&B undertones. Plus, her English is to die for.
- Justin...something or another. The guy with the hat. Yeah. I love his voice. Also one of my favs among newcomers
- I don't care what you people say, I love Twins. They're one of the only "idol" groups that I can stand, and well, love.
-Hacken Lee, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung. Well there's not really much to say, they're classics.

And now for my dislike list.
- at17. I really cannot stand them. Oh mah gaw. Words are not capable of explaining.
- Yan, Krusty, etc. Aka "Silly Thing". I really do not like them, and I hate how East Touch and Milk magazine make such huge deals about them and their record company.
- Alex Fong and his orgies with Cookies members. Enough with the duets, already. They're getting worse and worse, especially the one with Theresa. Oh dear god.
- Miriam Yeung. I can admire Joey Yung not for her song writing or lyric writing ability, but for her amazing ability at her job as a singer. Miriam Yeung...I don't get it. She's not pretty, so she's not in the idol category. She can't even sing, either, so she's not even in the other category. I just don't like her. She needs to thank her record company - badly - for giving her amazingly catchy songs.

I maybe will edit this later. =]

Since Chinese music cannot be copyrighted, it's actually legal to download. If you have links to where you get your Chinese music, put 'em down!

[lanbexx]

^ www.compbuy.co.uk

chinese music fans from around the world post up not only music but also ktv, chinese dramas and kpop. very good resource.

mp3.baidu.com

if you know the name of the song (or singer) and you can type in chinese, you can download it straight from china.

[frannay xD]

Jay Chou. Typical<3
Edison Chen is okay.

Cantonese rap is kinda annoying. Mandarin is better =)

I also listen to a lot of music from some soundtracks of t-dramas I watch :P

Jeff, Chinese music isn't copyrighted? O_O Why?

China communism. As weird as it is, it doesn't allow for copyrighted music. HAH! Go downloaders!

[imnoxonesmemory]

[*SuzieRawkSoxx*]

I dislike chinese music. Don't get me wrong or anything, I'm not racist, because I am chinese. but I enjoy hearing this one chinese song my mom and I would sing when I was a little kid. I don't know who it is by, though.

^^^ Ditto. With the exeption im Not chinese,.. I really like chinese people though.

[julianaaa]

i dont really like chinese music. the only reason i dont like them would probably be the fact that i dont understand what they're saying; even though i'm chinese. i like the way S.H.E sounds and sometimes F4.
they both sing in manderin, and i'm cantonese; so yeah.

[gelionie]

^ Mandarin is like, my 3rd/4th language, and yet, now I listen to mandarin songs most.
