In order to make a fair judgment, I'm not going to be biased. I feel that both cultures have very strong artists and weak artists in terms of authenticity. I adore Asian music because of the fast pace, catchy songs available. Besides Asian music takes a good amount of its influence from other cultures and christen it their own.
When it comes down to the more heartfelt, poignant songs I go with Western music. For instance Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, John Mayer, One Republic, Michael Jackson or Mariah Carey. I have yet to find any artist in Asia to match their level of originality.
Overall I vote for Western music
