they're just jealous...

asides from Pop, it seems to me like there's not much variety between each song for particular western artists like Avril Lavigne and Evanescense who are rock-based. The melody may be different but the general style is still largely present. On the other hand, Gackt's songs are mostly rock too, but he has this unique way of making each song sound very distinct, which makes his songs overall way more enjoyable.

I can understand if you say that the chinese rip off American music, I would completely agree. A lot of chinese songs are just covers of american songs, and even japanese and korean songs. Sammi Cheng did covers for Lee Jung Hyun's Wa, Ba Kkwo, and Nuh. Kelly Chen did one for Utada's Automatic. S.H.E did one for Britney's "Everytime", and etc...
