RuiXue Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:34 PM Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:34 PM China. Huge country, big population and many many tallents! Who's your favourite? Do you have any favourite song(s)? Just fun to compare people's music taste:D Quote
RuiXue Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:53 PM Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:53 PM I have many favourites. But my favourite group just has to be 凤凰传奇, they have so many great songs and both of them sing very good. I also quite like a singer from 南京 called 朱小磊, he's quite unknown but pretty good. As of lately I've started to listen quite a lot to 韩雪 who originally comes from 苏州 and funnily enough were 2 classes above my husband at school:D But my favourite song has to be 苏州好风光 it's so beautiful, in 苏州话 and I just see the beautiful scenery of 苏州 when hearing it. And I also remember my trip to 苏州 in may-june this year. A local but nationally famous 苏州评弹 actress who were guest at our engagement dinner sang that song, acapella, and said it was for me because she wanted me to hear it. It was such an honor to hear it like that. And it makes me warm inside and gives me tears in my eyes when I hear it now. I'm actually fighting tears when writing this now... I miss 苏州 so much! And I have such beautiful memories that just grows stronger with that song. Quote
Kenny同志 Posted October 30, 2009 at 02:23 AM Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 02:23 AM (edited) My favourite singers: 罗嘉良、谭咏麟、张学友、孟庭苇、李克勤、李春波、宋祖英等。 My favourite are songs in late 1980s and in 1990s, both pop and folk music. Compared with the former, the latter is of more depth, more distinct for its Chinese flavors. Edited October 30, 2009 at 09:40 AM by kenny2006woo Quote
RuiXue Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:45 AM Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:45 AM Ah, 张学友 is very good too! I especially like 我等到花儿也谢了 Quote
Kenny同志 Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:49 AM Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 08:49 AM Yes, many of his songs are really great. I like 我等到花儿也谢了 very very much. and another song 只想一生跟你走 wonderful too! I have tons of his songs on my PC. Quote
RuiXue Posted October 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM I think I have all of his songs in my QQ music playlist:D I have 我等到花儿也谢了 both in Cantonese, Mandarin and a version of the song with both Cantonese and Mandarin mixed:D I also quite like a singer called 李娜 but her songs are pretty countryside:lol: But 青藏高原 is really really nice. I like that song a lot. And 女人是老虎 totally makes both my husband and I laugh a lot. The melody is just so funny, and when I start imitating a tiger. OMG! Quote
renzhe Posted October 30, 2009 at 10:55 PM Report Posted October 30, 2009 at 10:55 PM I'm a big fan of , , (LOVE them!!!). I'm also a huge, huge fan of (Glorious Pharmacy).As you can see, I'm more into underground things. Can't stand mainstream pop, especially Chinese mainstream pop. I like many other independent Chinese bands, but I admit that it's often due to the novelty factor. But the bands I listed above are amazing, and are worth listening to in any language. When it comes to more mainstream stuff, I like (old, but really good), and, very oddly, I like . But she writes her own songs, so I get to keep some credibility Quote
analgesia Posted October 31, 2009 at 04:29 PM Report Posted October 31, 2009 at 04:29 PM any one interests in Douwei ? the genius of chinese post rock, the poet in chinese music i do like his lyrics,like ancient chinese poem,abstruse while graceful Quote
RuiXue Posted October 31, 2009 at 06:04 PM Author Report Posted October 31, 2009 at 06:04 PM Never heard about. But sure on my way to look him up on QQ music:D Is it 窦唯? Just asking to make sure I found the right singer in QQ haha Quote
RuiXue Posted November 1, 2009 at 01:21 PM Author Report Posted November 1, 2009 at 01:21 PM Ah, just remembered another favourite singer. 徐千雅 Quote

sukitc Posted November 4, 2009 at 02:39 AM Report Posted November 4, 2009 at 02:39 AM 月亮代表我的心 is my favorite song. Quote
mewmew Posted November 4, 2009 at 12:56 PM Report Posted November 4, 2009 at 12:56 PM I've been asked this question before and never have I been able to give a straight answer. It's not that I don't have my favorites, it's just that they change all the time. Right now, for example, I'm listening to and loving it. Its got this folksy and almost ghostly quality to it. But would I say this song is my favorite? At the moment, yes. Tomorrow though maybe a different story.@Renzhe - there should be no stigma attached to liking mainstream music. Many of my favorite songs are considered bubblegum cantopop, but see if I care! So you play that Cheer Chen music loud and proud! Quote
RuiXue Posted November 6, 2009 at 10:09 AM Author Report Posted November 6, 2009 at 10:09 AM Oh yeah, how could I forget her! I guess I have too many playlists on QQ music these days, and like all of those playlists:oops: Quote
Caidanbi Posted February 27, 2010 at 09:08 PM Report Posted February 27, 2010 at 09:08 PM Ooh, I like so many!!! Here are some of my favorites (sorry, too lazy to type in Chinese right now ): Jacky Cheung Andy Lau Leo Ku Nicholas Tse Emil Chau Kelly Chen Rainie Yang Sammi Cheng Winnie Hsin Karen Gong (or Kong) Joey Yung Na Ying Coco Lee William So There are too many that I like to list here. The majority of the time I listen to Chinese pop music, I like it better ^-^ As for favorite songs... it depends on my mood, but one of my all-time favorites is 李香蘭 by Jacky Cheung. It's in Cantonese, and it's very beautiful. Quote
