Cantopop had a humble beginning in history b'cos hk use to be influenced by mandarin songs & english songs. Native original local songs began with Sam Hui, Wong Jim, Joseph Koo etc

I think there are many good singers & songs of Cantopop, but some are not 'packaged' as a multi-media product so not alot of people would appeal to them. I think canto-lyrics are great

Some good singers: Alan Tam, Lee Hakkin, George Lam, Roman Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Sally Yip, Eason Chan, Leo Ku, Sandy Lam, Teresa Carpio, Jacky Cheung, Joey Yung, Beyond (Original) ...

LOOOOOOVE Ivana Wong, she's just so talented :-)

Joey Kenny Miriam Kelly Twins aren't too bad, but dependent on particular songs...

No, I don't like it, because the songs are boring to me...
I prefer more Alternative and Hard Rock :)

But i used to listen CantoPop 2 years ago lol...

Yumiko is still around? I haven't heard from her for a while.

There are some good songs here and there. I can't pinpoint a specific singer. Good material seems to be scattered across the artists.

The second list contains the singers I forgot to mention in the first. And I didn't feel like combining them, for some odd reason...

used to like songs from: aaron kwok, jacky cheung, sammi and gigi.

i think aaron kowk is gettin abit old, jacky cheung comes out once in while when he needs money, sammi gettin old, gigi cant sing anymore.

when i say gettin too old, i mean like.... in the 30s, since canto-pop earns most of the money from teens.

crap singers in my opinion: yumiko, edison, shawn yu, twins, and too much new singers i don't even know....
dun really follow canto pop anymore unless my friends play it
