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.
