Kpop isn't much better. It's all pretty much American pop music lagged by 3-years.
Not to mention when one Kpop gets big, either all the other companies go make their own version of that pop group (i.e. now with the explosion of girl groups =.=) or the opposite gender of that group is made.

At least K and J pop have production quality (even if it's hella superficial). If you have JAV you will know what I mean ( . ) ( . )
C-Pop is the one I like the least out of the J,K,C / oriental music types but Coco Lee is someone I've known about, a lot before most of the K-Pop and other stuff I listen too
cindy's a couple of years ahead of me, but she used to go to college here in austin (knew her personally, etc etc). she's actually a great singer -- majored in music performance and i think communications here. solid piano/violin player, great vocalist (for sure better than most of the asian pop stars you see out there today).
i agree though, this is a pretty bad song -- but cindy composed/produced it almost entirely herself (with a little bit of collab on that + songwriting with jay), and if you look at most artists' first albums/singles, they're usually awful (and, to no one's surprise, her recently-released debut album is also less than stellar). it's good for about a minute, then the melodies stop working and the song breaks down, plus you get jay chou's weak vocal performance again (note to cindy: classical harmonic progressions don't work in hip-hop/R&B ).
jay chou once again gets shown up on a track by someone who is a million times the vocalist he is -- seriously, the guy is just a terrible singer. a shame because he's actually a fairly decent producer.
to be honest i think jay had to show up on the track because he's the one who signed cindy to his record label. i guess for marketing/credit purposes or whatever, he has to be on her first "big" track that gets significant airplay. whatever.

he is a good composer/producer tho but seriously all his hits are better sang by other people.
haha yeah. but for a guy who makes a living being a singer-songwriter-producer, you'd expect him to be able to perform a little better. kinda like ryan tedder or justin timberlake (or even john mayer).

Mumbling lyrics does not constitute a great singer. He does however have some good songs out there. But his vocals are simply lacking.
