hello, everybody at cpop! i love this community because it offers so many types of music... and i'm kinda bored right now... so i would like to ask which artists do you recommend? i pretty much understand a lot of the chinese music scene but could you maybe recommend some rock (but not indie) type of chinese music? i like the kind of unique strong

China has lots of rock and metal :( I'm currently working on a post with just Chinese music of that variety.

For something A-lin like, Kary Ng has some good rock songs and I quite like her voice.

oh really? hehe... i didn't know. hope i didn't offend you/anyone if there is rock and metal in chinese music. ):
but cool, thanks for the recommendation! and looking forward to the post! :D

try Nicholas Tse? 8DDD

[itsmhuang]

hmmm didn't know he had that kind of music (: thanks for recommending him!

[xoxoknlove]

i think only a few songs but i do know he has a strong voice XD

i totally agree with you, i just hate all those groups/singers who have that cutesy voice (i don't think they can really sing

[itsmhuang]

mhm, i've heard some now. (:

yes! i agree, but i don't exactly HATE them, because most of them are indie, so i guess it's supposed to be all mellow and stuff... xD but the thing i don't like about indie, is that they always have the girl singers with the cutesy voices, and that doesn't always make for the most powerful music xDD i sound mean.. but i have to admit it. :/ it's not that they can't sing, because most do write their own songs and music so yeah. (:
but that brings up some mainstream stuff.. like cyndi wang or someone else (haha, can't think of anyone now).. many mainstream girl singers don't write their own songs, which is kind of a disappointment, because fans would admire them SO MUCH MORE. you know? it's a pity.. ):

Jam Hsiao's （萧敬腾）Prince's New Clothes （王子的新衣）and Blues are good songs.

He has an amazing voice and does rock really well LIVE. Check out his version of Bon Jovi's It's My Life. :)

I hope that helps!

i'm sorry.. i tried listening to him.. but his music just never stick. :/ he does have a strong voice but sorry, weird that i can't seem to stick to his music. >.< but i will see that video of him singing bon jovi... maybe then i will start to "stick" to his music! xD haha can't think of a better verb... xD

Zhang Li Yin! ♥

She's a Chinese artist under Korean company SM Entertainment, but sings in Chinese. :)

"Timeless" which is her strongest song, vocally, so far:


"I Will" which is her first Chinese single:

oh, i've heard of her. i had to sing her "i will" in my class one time for a project. (: she has a very powerful voice. (:

When you said strong voices I immediately thought of Faith Yang Nai Wen (楊乃文).
