there are some singers that can sing but they never got the recognition of being famous instead they are underrated such as Kay Tse.
they definitely dont make them like they did in the 80's...sigh :( but i still listen to current cantopop nonetheless, lol.
Some of them start out originally as singers or as actors. But in their contracts they're required to sing & act. Henceforth the bad singers/actors that were originally singers/actors. Anyways, nowadays if you have a decent voice along with technology to tweak your voice it won't sound too bad and sometimes even pretty good.
some hk artist can sing well^ myolie sings really well! haha.. and there are so many others who can sing too! i agree with some other posters, ron really cant sing. there's one song of his where he actually danced(i forgot which one) he cant dance too.. *no offence to ron fans.*
well i guess i some can sing.... but some artist CAN NOT SING lk all i want to say is GO HOME!!!! lk some actors/actress act but they force themself to sing. sigh*
strangly enough I actually think many actress begans their career as singers than get involve in movies and tv series. I think some actress can sing pretty good, but some are just there, because they are just playing around.
its just funny in HK.. everyone thats good looking and can sing abit is a star also i think most of HK people can sing.... since they are grown up with karoake... ofcourse some are better then others XD you dont want to hear me singing -shy
i think the music industry in hong kong is getting better this year or two. the new singers that are emerging can sing pretty good!
Hk singers that can really sing nowadays...with great vocal..maybe only a few like Eason and Hacken . Generally, hk singers are no where compared to western international artists. No wonder album sales in HK are dropping so badly now.
well 2b honest... dere aint much good new singers in HK atm. Only like a few i.e Janice wei lan Dey shud bring Sammi BACK
I really dont think a lot of them can sing.... the new ones mainly.. people like hacken lee who is still staying in the business is pretty good.. nowadays i think its mainly beats, melodies and looks.. >< not very satisfying when what makes a singer truly good, is their voice
I like one of the earlier poster's comments. Sure, some of your favourite current artists like Janice and Joey are talented, as you say, but is their music going to last 10-15 years from now? Just look at the Beatles. They disbanded over 30 years ago. They're still being played on the radio. I mean, with female HK singers, there are no higher standards than Teresa Teng or Anita Mui. TT released her last album long before some of you were born, and yet, her songs are still being played/performed today. Same with the 4 Heavenly Kings. Their primes were in the early 90s. How many of their earlier songs are still being played now? Plenty. You could always say, oh hey, look at the number of awards people like Eason get. Yes, that's because they're comparing him to the rest of the industry. Remember what they said in the 4 Heavenly Kings movie? The industry's revenue plummeted over the past decade, which means that the likelihood of the "best" in the industry being better than the best of yesteryear is low, considering the relative lack of depth of talent in the field today. 10-15 years from now, who's going to be playing stuff by the Twins, Janice, Eason, or whoever? They're good, but I'll have to get back to you once I dust off that 10-year-old album by some girl called Joey Yung.
