I really am tired listening to the same songs over and over again.

it's not that my songs are boring and i hate them. i really like them, but listening to it constantly bored me out a bit.

i want some diversity! So if anyone can recommend me some Mandarin/taiwanese or even korean bands[pop/hip-hop] to listen to, then

u helped me a lot!

Xie Xie Ni!!

BIG BANG
---------------

LOL

DBSK

Try listening to japanese music too, like just pick a random song from the oricon charts ;D

BIG BANG! Their music is PHWOAR-awesome ! ;D

but if you're looking for ballads, I say try SG wannabe, Seeya

KHALIL FONG. He's the only Asian artist I've heard who has very strong soul influences in his music. His voice is soooo amazing and he composes all of his songs.

Thanx guys!!but yes sadly ik but i already know DBSK and Big Bang!theyre awsomeness!!!!!!

Hmm, other than Big Bang (which is a must =P), there's Epik High =)

PR = Personal Recommendation
P = 'Popular'

Chinese/Taiwanese-

Alan Luo /Show Luo PR
Jolin Tsai PR
Khalil Fong P
David Tao PR
Fish Leong P
Wow (a band) PR
Angela Zhang P

Korean- (Other than Big Bang and DBSK)

Se7en!! PR
Super Junior PR
Epik High PR
1TYM PR
Lexy PR
Lee Jung Hyun (techno, not hip-hop/pop) PR
Wonder Girls P
SNSD / Girl's Generation P

no doubt about that.Epik High is awesome!!

thanx for the recommendations dudes!![i sound like a surfer now, eh?]

what i can think of that
you don't typically see on soompi

^ haha yah

I recommend tank
and gary cao

tank-gei wo ni de ai, wo men xiao shi hou de gu shi (give me your love and the story of our childhood (messed up translation I know =X)

gary cao -superwoman, bei pan (betrayal) and that duet he did with genie zhuo called sth juliet? It's really nice!
also, ANSON HU, he's great <3

those three can singgg

also, s.h.e but you prob know them
stay away from fahrenheit ew

jolin, alan etc are popular choices, though they aren't vocally talented
they have good songs though

also, jin hai xin (this mainland singer, she has a really unique voice) like her song called sth like tian xia de xing xing (sb correct me on that pls)

I suggest to listen to the following songs...

치명적인 사랑 (그래도 종아 OST) - The One
신이버린 사랑 (그래도 좋아 OST Part 2) - 태사비애

If u know the meaning of this song, u'll like it more...

BIGBANG , WonderGirls , Epik High & SS501

Are you interested in English songs?

yes i am intersted in english songs, but plz

PLZ dont give me any songs that have a 'different' meaning if u know what i mean

those songs r the ones that disgust me the most.[EWWW]

any song will do as long as it follows my genre[pop, pop-rock, techno, rock[not hard core],rap, and hip-hop]

Xie Xie Ni!!

hmm. i was gonna give you hip hop ones.
but they all give you a "different" meaning.

He's based in Taiwan and sings in Chinese, but he is a Korean-American. Nicky Lee. My current musical obsession. He sings mostly R&B along with a few hip-hop tracks. Super talented... is part of the Taiwanese band/group Machi (but recently went solo in 2005).
I wrote a post about him (shameless self-plugging) on my blog: http://nanshi.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/the...pimpage-begins/ just to give you a bit of intro into him.

she said she was looking for english songs... .__.
anyway, you should give regina spektor a try! here's a list of good songs

"Sampson" - very ballady
"On the Radio" - very catchy was my favorite song for the longest time
"Musicbox" - kind of random.. but pretty upbeat

hope you like her

well, i'm not only looking for english songs[chinese, korean, japanese]. i'm looking for any kind of song,

as long as it fits my genres of music [techno, rap, hip-hop, pop-rock, pop, i guess it can be ballody[i'm beginning to like these kind of songs] and rock-not hard core]]

Colby O Donis FT. Akon- What you got
Colbra Starship - the city is at war (not sure if its your type, but the lyrics are catchy and the MV is hilarious).
