    well.... some HK artists can really sing, but I guess their talent are still more on acting.... generally, the new singers now only look good, but have voices that will make toads look good.... -sweat

    so can and some cant...lol you can only be a judge when they sing live......i think you are really asking if i think a hk artist can sing well....rarely these days....but hopefully singers that can sing can get more recognition....the industry right now is just about popularity

    I think a few hk artists can sing, not to be bias or anything. I like new singers like Linda Chung though.

    some of the new people i have doubts about... but all the veterans can definitely sing... loving G.E.M. atm - she can really sing! and was pleasantly surprised by Wong Cho Lam at the JSG awards when he was singing with Leo Ku =D

    to tell u the truth i dun think that nowadays hk artists can sing..hehe...look at bosco and even gillian from twins...they just can't sing..ok?!?...most of the times they get the award because they hav lots of fans or they look allright...oh yea...one good example WILLIAM...the newcomer guy...how come he got all the GOLD awards?!?...he can't sing...i must say that his dancing skills are so good...but he can't sing...hav u guyz heard TAXI that song...OMG is horrible!! no offence to william's fans tho! jus my personal opinion!

    of course we still hav sum newcomers who can sing..example...GEM...her voice is really good...cant even compete wid linda and myolie...

    my 2 cents
    i honestly beleive that the hk industry has changed to one which is like any other hollywood/western type of industry and that is about making the $ching ching$

    having said that, then pretty much it is all about making the sales.

    if an artist has a fan base, and releases a cd, then the fans will obviously buy it.
    thus creating sales......and therefore turnovers.....

    this is why there has been so many actors/actresses turned singers...

    it obviously creates alot of sh!t music out there, but honestly, it is a good system, in terms of making the G's

    I don't listen to the radio stations or watch tv much, but what I do see/hear of those hk "artists" are terrible. Absolute garbage. I think they just sell a look or an image to tasteless fans. They're screaming their heads off and buying all the crappy t-shirts and merchandise, so no one cares. Maybe if the fans started demanding better quality music from the industry...

    I think the majority are pretty bad, but there are always some gems among the masses.

    Only a few. The rest are just pretty boys and girls targeting what the consumers want in the market.

    Imo almost 90% of the new singer cant sing.Nowdays you cant get singer like Jacky Cheung or Anita Mui, it's all about pretty face.
