Jpop or Chinese music more influential in the world??

[zyoeru]

Japanese music. The only Chinese artists I know are: Faye Wong, alan, and there's another, she covered Ai Otsuka's Momo no Hanabira Cyndi something. XD

But other than those I don't know any others.

[rookies]

^ It was Cyndi Wang who covered that Ai Otsuka song.

[Ayumiko]

I'm chinese and I don't like chinese music. I hear them a lot on the radio and tv...the songs are really boring...mostly ballads, mid tempo songs or cover songs. Most of the time the lyrics sucks...no substance and lack quality. HK artists like all share the same few composers and lyricists. There are a few singers that can actually sing and have talent but overall Jpop is better for variety and quality.

[*Petit*]

Whether or not certain singers are "uninspired" or bad doesen't really matter. I think it's pretty safe to say that japan has the most influence on the rest of the far east asian continent both for historical and economical reasons. The country has been the strongest economical force in the area basically since the MEJI restoration.

Wasen't alan the first chinese citizen to get a daily number one on the oricon recently?

I like that! Chinese is really pretty. But there's just not enough artists which I can listen to and think "Wow, amazing!"
I like Jolin Tsai a little. But another thing is, I like to know what I'm listening to, and as I'm learning Japanese j-music is easier for me to listen to. But c-music makes me wanna learn Chinese. XD

[ayu_fantasy]

Wow, thanks for all the opinion....

I have a friend who told me that Cpop is more influential and recognise in the world.... And she used to say jpop sucks like crazy.... especially ayumi hamasaki....

I have nothing against that... But i myself think that Cpop lacked substance and quality. How could they be so influential in the world? No offence.

[LacusClyne]

it depends on the country, if you are talking about Asia, Cpop is the king/queen. Afterall, most chinese listens to cpop more then jpop.

but i prefer the 90's cpop, more substance and longer lasting. My fav are Coco Lee, Jimmy Lin and Jolin, and the first 2 belongs to the 90's

[ayu_fantasy]

I mean the world... Not just a particular region, because different continents have different preference of music. But as a whole, cetain genre can be more influential than another. Coco lee, Elva Hsiao are not too bad... There's substance in their music...

As for Jolin Tsai, not exactly sure why is she even called "the dancing Queen" when her dance moves are not even half of BoA's standard.
There's nothing got to do with the ayuJolin thing, but Jolin alone just don't have the substance.

JPOP, I am not into Chinese music

[TeeMo]

J-Pop is much better than C-Pop... And of course J-pop is more influential.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

J-Pop. You never really hear of a Chinese artist/band being invited to an anime convention or asked to join on a big tour like Warped Tour or Family Values or just touring by themselves. A lot of people who listen Asian music listen to J-Pop more than C-Pop, even K-Pop more than C-Pop.

[mimi.chan]

I love JPop more but I love CPop too... my fav. Cpop artists are Nicholas Teo, JJ Lin, BY2 etc...

[pommy48]

^ BY2

but also about the anime conventions~ anime is mostly for japan anyways

[AyumiBest]

I used to REALLY like chinese music but after listening to one more chinese album I didn't like it anymore and Ayu took me to the land of J-pop.
I listen to C-pop every now and then but I only listen to the classics like Teresa Teng and Faye Wong. So I think J-pop is more influential.

[cosmeticmusic]

All of you saying C-Pop is uninspiring and lifeless obviously haven't listened to Faye Wong. Have you heard her 90s albums?! AMAZING!
