Checkout youtube, they pull off amazing 'Dir en grey' covers

HK singer
谢安琪-- I suppose she debuted at the same time with both 侧田 and Janice卫兰, but she obviously has a lesser popularity compared with them,
I like her voice though. I will recommend you her 愁人节

Eason Chan-- A powerful singer indeed, I still feel touch whenever I heard his 明年今日, and most of the time I think the lyrics of the his song
contribute a lot as well, 黄伟文，the lyrics writer and I like 裙下之臣。

Taiwan singer
F.I.R.- I like them since their 1st album, I was totally amazed by Lydia.

Malaysia singer
Gary Cao曹格, omg!!! Have you heard his superwoman?!

There are bunch of big name to list. XD

Eason Chan (all time favor)
Kay Tse

Definately Xiao Yu. I love his album, it's slowly growing on me ^^' Really good.

Jane Zhang from one of the Supergirls but have not so impressive albums, but her voice is just totally amazing!!!

lol, WORD.
when i was in China, i heard a lot of the "popular" music, and all of it was HORRID.

reminded me of American pop from the 80s, except with annoying sound affects and flimsy vocals.

some of the less well known artists are good though...too bad they don't get as much exposure as....S.H.E. -shudders-

just wondering, did F.I.R already brought an album out this year? I know they brought 'Love Diva' out last year, but what about this year? Anyone heard some news about it?

F.I.R didn't bring an album out this year yet?

There's this pop/jazz artist called Joanna Wang. She has an album out, called Let's Start From Here. Definately worth checking out.

Tension definitely.

i dont like Lee Hom's music...=(

and Khali Fong..

and who is supergirls??is it those Chao Ji Nu Sheng??

luv songs ... good music .. i luv LH so much ^.^

Wang lee hom is AWESOME!! so totally <33333 forever....OMG n he is muscially talented..
i love evry single one of lee homs ablums it's such beautiful music that touches the heart!!!
and yes he is GOD DARN SMEXI............

JAy chou i love his music, (fa rue Xue, romantic cellphone, simple love)

then there' JJ lin he has a beautiful voice, Anson hu, Eason, Peter ho,
Ambrose hsu.. (OMG he is so handome n an actor)

Edison chen
Richie Ren
F4 guys
183 Club
tension
and more but can't think of them now...

Eason Chen, F.I.R, Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Wen Lan has pretty nice songs too.
And I recommend a show named One Million Star. Everyone of them can sing. Like seriously.. And I always thought Taiwan is lack of talented singer. Doesn't meant to be offensive but that's how they portrait image of entertainment industry there.

I`ve never even heard Supergirls` songs, hah.


Kahlil Fong 方大同
Xiao Yu 小宇
Fan Fan 范瑋琪
F.I.R

I don't know many Chinese singers, but most of them that I know are pretty... "indie."

My recommends...

- Sodagreen (Su Da Lu)
- Mayday (Wu Yue Tian)
- Deep White (Shen Bai Se)
- Cheer Chen

And the ever popular...
- Jay Chou
- Lee Hom Wang

That one girl who won the Supergirl contest is, kinda, well, horrendus.
o_o; Her albums are uber bad.

Anyhow, Jane Zhang is the way to go. She placed 3rd or something, but she should have won the contest.
Her voice is <3.

FIR IS HECKA AWESOME!! <3
Jay Chou has some rly nice songs too ^.^
Others?

-TANK! (My Angel [from Hana Kimi])
-Guang Liang (FAIRYTALE T.T)
-Gary Cao (Superwoman)
-Wilbur Pan (A bunch of songs)

hey does any1 know if khalil fong has ever released a song in cantonese or does he only sing in mando?

The best Chinese singers are JJ Lin, Leehom & Gary Cao.
Those three are absolutely amazing.
They're my top 3 favorite Chinese artists.

I would also recommend...
-Jay Chou
-Xiao Yu
-Yoga Lin
-Jam Xiao
-Tank
-Evan Yo
-Nicholas Teo
-Wilber Pan

Yay, Leehom, F.I.R., Mayday, and JJ Lin! They're all really talented, especially Leehom.

my recs:
Khalil Fong 方大同
Age of Water & Wood 水木年华 <<actually my cousin's reccomendation, but still, they are really good They're a soft-rockish duo from mainlamd China. youtube up their song 完美世界.

They're not as well know, but give them a try!

Woot! Jay Chou!! XDD
He's one of my favorites, besides SHE and all...>>

He has such a good voice and he's multi-talented XDD
Acting, directing, producing, composing, etc. etc. >>

Leehom is awesome too!! XD
Isn't his English good or something?

Or how about Lollipop??
They sound sorta boyish, but they're not that bad
Xiao Yu's really good x] He composed his own song called Make Me a Fool
and he can sing and play guitar...><

Okok. I'll put up one last guy XD
TANK!!!! <3
he's not the best-looking guy ever, but he sure can sing XD

anyone like YOGA LIN?!
i love his album so much..all his songs are great esp. 請說!

Yeah! I got his album , his voice is great.

Yeah, I love Yoga.
I mentioned him in my post above.
I love his song Bo Le & Yan Se.
I pretty much love everyone in Xing Guang Bang (4 Shao).

F.I.R is amazing. I love them. ^^

JJLin is okay. Like you said, his voice can be annoying, but it's not so bad.

New singers I like are Xiao Yu. He has some bad songs on his CD, but overall some of those songs are really good.

EDITl; Lol Yoga. He's really good. ^^

@Lollipop: Talentless idol band. =\ I hate them.

EDIT2; Xu Li is pretty good. She came out with the album Hua Mu Lan.

sorry but im not going to look through all 17 pages so im gonna repeat some, but hey, that means more recommandations:

-yoga lin
-jam hsiao..his voice can melt my heart, i listen to him before bed all the time lol.
-FIR
-jane zhang, yes shes from supergirls but her songs are beautiful
-angela zhang, love her voice
-stephanie sun, ditto
-fish leong, ditto..all three of these females have unique voices that i enjoy

and i have to disagree, lollipop is NOT quality music. as much as i lovef those guys, their music is crap imo.

Yeah if you cut out the bad songs it's a really great album that really stands out from the crowd.

Also check out milk@coffee from the Chinese mainland.

Janice 卫兰 with Guang Liang - Fairytale

17 pages and cheer chen was mentioned twice :/
http://youtube.com/watch?v=iHBdsh4enFY

You can never go wrong with Wang Lee Hom and F.I.R. =D
I really like Jay Chou's songs however .....his voice can get a bit annoying at times(same goes with JJ Lin).
Gary Cao is a good singer but his songs are just okay to me.
David Tao = love

Khalil has nv released a cantonese song before. He said that English and Chinese are his best language thus, he chose to release chinese albums instead of a canto album even though he is from Hong Kong.

He is an awesome singer and songwriter as well. I love how he has both the English and Chinese feel.

He is one of the chinese singers I listen to alongside with Xiaoyu, Jam Hsiao and Yoga Lin. Lee Hom is good as well.

It's sad that singers like Janice, Justin, and Kary are considered as good singers these days. Compared to the older singers, these so called "talented" singers have no voice whatsoever. Maybe they are the better individuals nowadays but they certainly lack the vocal power of a "talented" singer. I truly miss talents like Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Dave Wong, Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam, Faye Wong, all those 1980-1990s stars. These were the ones who were born to be on stage. Chinese singers these days can not possibly be compared to them.

There are too many idol singers out there that know nothing about singing.

But of course there are still some talented ones such as Lee Hom, Hacken Li, JJ Lin, Guang Liang, etc. I never saw Jay Chou as a good singer despite how tremendously popular he is in China/Taiwan. Sure his music is good, he's a good composer, but he does not sing good.

i'm gonna add another singer Gem Tang aka Gloria Tang..she's a '08 newcomer in HK, she's only 16 but I think she has a great voice..I think she def. has potential.

check out Gem Tang's Xanga to listen to her songs esp. 回憶的沙漏 <- very nice song..she composed it herself.

You can also find her performances if you search her up on youtube~

I agree, what Jay lacks is made up for in his meaningful lyrics, unique tunes with a tint of chinese traditionalism, and his general passion for music.

I have a few more recommandations:
-Sodagreen
-JS
-A-mei Zhang

I like his voice. Granted it's not the best... But he definitely more than makes up for it with his brilliant music skills. He's a musical Renaissance man. He can sing, write, compose and play instruments.

yah I agree, I used to not the hype with jay, but now I've realised he IS very very talented. His singing might now be the best, but it's pretty good now (has improved, still sounds alil strained lol)

still sings better than alot of the crappy idol singers.

Xiao Yu ~ his voice is super!
Eason Chan ~ great songs!
Joanna Wang - "Lets Start From Here/Mi Gong", "The Best Mistake I've Ever Made" is lovely!
Hins Cheung ~ good voice...some songs are good!

nobody mentioned my little airport.

i swear, their songs are all so unbelievably soft and adorable.
kind of like a lullaby you want to dance to.

Yep, definitely agree w/ what you guys said about Jay Chou. Despite his weak vocals, his songs are very soothing and I often find myself unconciously humming to his songs.

I actually want to recommend someone from SuperGirls. She placed third in the '05 competition but I think she sings better than Yuchun (lol, no, not from dbsk), who got first place. Anyways, her name's Jane Zhang/ Zhang Liang Ying. I love her voice! It's not only empowering but also very versatile. She can sing various types of songs ranging from traditional Chinese to American R&B. Plus she has a very good English accent (well, at least compared to a lot of Asian artists )

Jay Chou (although his music spreads like wild fire) has good quality songs IMO
and
FIR ... I remember they sang the OST for "the outsiders" but their music in general is amazing.
and
Wilber Pan... ALTHOUGH i only really listened to "Bu De Bu Ai"
and
A singer named Anson. I forgot his last name but I feel that his music has some good meaning to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zCcAdCQRrc

Yes, i have to agree with you, I'm looking/listening to Anita Mui's old songs on Youtube these days.
But then i think that a lot of older things are better, like how Doraemon was still Ding Dong. Even the OP sounds better back then...

Considering you also know some older singers, i was wondering do you know who sings this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VTMWVfDJAE...feature=related
I know Anita Mui also sang a version of this OP/ED, but i forgot who this is.

MAYDAY.
they're amazing. =]] greeaaat vocals and lyrics.
JJ Lin.
erm... sick of badly sung english? listen to his songs~ his voice is so soothing and his songs are really cute, although sometimes overly poetic. i like his old albums more than his new one. not gonna lie, his new one kinda blew chunks. =[[ his old ones all had cute themes~
Jay Chou.
whatever, he's the man. no matter how many albums he puts out, no matter how many weird songs he churns out (that cowboy MV, anyone?), he is stil the man.
F.I.R
amazing vocals and songs~ love them!
Nan Quan Ma Ma.
Discovered by Jay Chou. Nuff sed.
Fish Leong.
very unique voice. very soothing~ love her!

hope this helps.

Anson Hu (胡彦斌) - Unique voice, soft & r&b feeling.
Lin Jun Jie (林俊傑) - No comment, simply great.
Kelly Chen (陳慧琳) - classic & gold..
Gary Cao Ge (曹格) - .. ;}

definitely the best..
