Hong Kong singers are not the best at all. Most are only hyped publicity fame.
Their fame are based on the size of the marketing. And there is a flood of so many singers that second rate singers get to become the better ones because of the statistics. Based on my experiences. I have heard so many Cantonese singers through the years that I must say only a handful of the hundreds are good singers/artists. Furthermore, eason even though he has a good public share in his home court and considerable hits under his belt and is known to have been described as having 'skills' in wikipedia, is not at all skilled in his singing in my opinion. Most Hong Kong singers are manufactured. That's just the way it is in Hong Kong. And awards are not the best basis for good songs. I know of a lot of singers in Hong Kong that won awards that made me scratch my head. I would not go into specifics but I will say that there are real good singers from Hong Kong, but I can say that not all famous ones are good. And there are many, many, many famous singers in Hong Kong.

*I am Chinese and I have been listening to a lot of Chinese(Mandarin and Cantonese) singers for all of my life. ( I must admit that I have wasted a lot of money on Cantonese cds that are not great at all just because of curiosity, pretty face(female artist cover), top ten rankings......) Chinese (Mandarin) singers are easier to choose because they are more universally appealing.
