杰声 Posted February 22, 2005 at 10:31 PM Report Posted February 22, 2005 at 10:31 PM As I'm learning mandarin I thought listening to mandarin songs/movies might help with my pronounciation. I've heard of some of the bigger chinese/taiwanese singers like faye wong, amei and coco lee but I'm not sure who sings in mandarin and I can't really tell the difference between dialects yet ^_^ I was wondering if anyone could recommend any mandarin singers I could try listening too. 多谢，杰声。 Quote
Harpoon Posted March 7, 2005 at 12:50 AM Report Posted March 7, 2005 at 12:50 AM music isn't really the best way to learn the language (compared to plain old studying) but I find S.H.E. pop songs to be nice Quote
Lu Posted March 7, 2005 at 09:50 AM Report Posted March 7, 2005 at 09:50 AM Zhang Yu (Phil Chang) and Zhang Xueyou (Jacky Cheung) seem to follow the tones pretty well in their songs, which might be helpful. Quote
skylee Posted March 7, 2005 at 10:08 AM Report Posted March 7, 2005 at 10:08 AM I like 張宇 and 張學友, though they may not be the best models for learning Mandarin. (Do note that the former also sings in Minnan dialect, and the latter in Cantonese.) Quote
korndorian Posted March 9, 2005 at 02:17 AM Report Posted March 9, 2005 at 02:17 AM humm... you if are into rock, try this guy. Wang Feng 汪峰 - 妈妈 http://218.93.16.95/gkiytr4/cn/dl1/w/wf/01/011.wma lyric 妈妈我是那么孤独 孤独得象路边的一块儿石头 没有伙伴没有情爱 灵魂的大门快要关闭 我彻夜地在街上游荡 那感觉让我忘了自己 我狂饮暴醉至天明 因为我害怕那致命的夜的清醒 妈妈昨天凯茜从我这儿走了 我知道我还爱她 她说我就象粒空中的尘土 她不能再和我一起漂亮荡荡 我知道这是唯一的结局 一个美丽的结局 所以我一定会面带微笑 而内心在深深的哭泣 妈妈你听见了吗 妈妈帮帮我 妈妈我想到过死 别担心其实死也不可怕 可怕的是孤独一个的感觉 无人问津强颜欢笑 象一个找不到家的方向的弃儿 妈妈我不能回到你的怀抱 因为我们终将独自面对这个世界 我不会对你说出我的痛苦 因为那是我最后的坚强 妈妈每当夜深人静的时候 我都会凝视着深蓝色的夜空 我真想是那一颗颗闪亮的星星 有无数个同伴 每当那失落的感觉包围着我 我都会静静地望着这个世界 我不知道是我忘记这个世界 还是它忘记了我 妈妈你听见了吗 there, now you can sing along.

gougou Posted March 9, 2005 at 01:04 PM Report Posted March 9, 2005 at 01:04 PM music isn't really the best way to learn the language If you mean instead of pen'n'paper studying, then I'd certainly agree. But I find songs to be quite a good addition to study. When not actually in China, good material to practice listening is not easy to come by, and the texts that come with my books are boring at best, more commonly frustrating. The drawback about songs is that keys are even more difficult to learn, but I find them to be very helpful to identify certain commonly used disyllabic words (if you listen to Mandopop, you'll have mastered 爱情 and 哭泣 in a sec!). As to songs, I listen to a whole variety, favorites being Andy Lau (not recommendable for language study, though), Zhang Huimei, the occasioall Faye Wong... Quote
keetaec Posted March 30, 2005 at 10:20 AM Report Posted March 30, 2005 at 10:20 AM HI Korndorian! I've tried the links to your files, but they're tiny like 70kb and my players require some sort of plug-in; so i install them and they still don't work... help I really want to listen to chinese modern music i.e. pop and rock WITH lyrics... but it's so difficult to find them for me... would be grateful if you assisted. TY Quote
atitarev Posted September 18, 2005 at 09:48 AM Report Posted September 18, 2005 at 09:48 AM This was an old post but could someone please check if this pinyin transcription seem good for the song posted by korndorian, I got quite a few ambiguities, so not sure if my choice of pronunication and word split is OK. The audio link above is still active. I am posting pinyin just to check if the pronunciation and tones are correct, for some characters can be pronounced differently depneding on the position and meaning. I used Wenlin to convert to pinyin and segment by words but offered multiple choices in some cases. Not too worried about tone sandhi or interjectons, only if there are obvious errors.

atitarev Posted September 19, 2005 at 02:23 AM Report Posted September 19, 2005 at 02:23 AM Just refreshing the thread to see if anyone is willing check my pinyin for the song. Quote
terminator Posted November 7, 2005 at 02:22 PM Report Posted November 7, 2005 at 02:22 PM What about Jay Chou/周杰伦? He's the most famous mandarin singer now, probably. Jolin Tsai/蔡依林, his former girlfriend is also very famous. I love them both. 王蓉 I like better than the above two, but most people like those two best. It depends on what genre you are into most. 周杰伦 is like almost on the top of the hottest singers list. Quote
Ferno Posted November 8, 2005 at 07:52 AM Report Posted November 8, 2005 at 07:52 AM he mumbles and slurrs the words in his songs a lot though. Quote
