Jpop or Chinese music more influential in the world??

[noidea]

I don't think chinese music is very influential, Japan is the second biggest music market in the world(after America) and theres J-Rock and Visual Kei concerts in Europe all the time, sometimes seeling out grand venues(X-Japan sold 20000 tickets in Paris for example) or on big, really well known festivals Dir en grey and others at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in germany(alongside bands like Metallica), but I never heard of a single chinese band here, so it cant be that influential

Yeah.

I think even amongst like...some chinese people overseas, they don't even like chinese music because they feel that it's just bland and ordinary...

which is kinda how some of my chinese friends felt about alan...they said that there was nothing really special about her...that she could be replaced by any other chinese singer that sang in her style.

So I don't know...I really haven't been too exposed to chinese music...so...yeah.

^ I am one of those people that agree with ur friends haha. She may have a voice, but she can easily be replaced. Her style is very ordinary and often done in c-pop. I really think she should change styles and be more unique because she probably can do it.

I think its obvious Jpop is more influential around the world, but C-pop has its points too haha. I think C-pop is very underrated because its really nice, it just lacks variety if you compare it to the US and japanese industries.

my DAD agrees too O__O
the unique thing is.. how many cpop singers can wail AND graduate from some extremely competitive music academy, being totally pro at the erhu? shes a very unique musician. i dont really see much c-pop singers playing a stringed instrument for their official songs and singing.. once she writes more music, she'll be even more unique
