Which Hong Kong singers can sing?

[kidd]

What do you guys think of Deep Ng? The guy actually won a singing competition, right?

Don Li is not bad and he can compose songs. Just that the songs his music company give him to sing is not suitable for him. I've heard him sing some old songs and he's pretty good.

I think Deep is decent.. on the better side, maybe better than Bosco who just released an album


Don Li... again'st just avg.

Ella Koon sings very well here. I like her voice here.

Have checked out Rannes Man (文恩澄). Doesn't sound very good singing live leh. When she sings high note, she sounds like cannot reach or something.

I'm a bit surprised that Eric Suen hasn't been mentioned yet. He's a versatile singer-composer, mostly lauded for his passionate rendition of love songs. Creatively, he likes to experiment with R&B and rock elements as well. Some clips to share here to demonstrate his vocal range, creativity and control:

MTV of his comeback duet with Stephanie Che in "Perfect Match": 再見亦是戀人 (romantic)

MTV of his hit song from his album "So Far So... Close": 自愛 (romantic)

thanks KIdd for showing GEM> she is good! Love her already

[kidd]

Welcome Sugar.

Thanks silversnowflake. I'll check out the youtube ones.

Found out a new HK band. They were interviewed in RTHK (there's were I get to know of them). Not a mainstream band. Their name is Juicyning (朱淩淩).

You can listen to their interview if you want.

Colleen Lau is also good.

Deep has a nice charming voice. Why isn't he more successful?

Yes. Gem is a force to be reckoned with. Saw her live performance of Where Do U Go on the piano. She is getting better and better. Her earlier renditions of diva songs by Whitney, Celine and Beyonce are a little too thin but I think she is getting better control of her vocal instrument with experience and her voice is fuller now.

Can the divas of the past like Teresa Carpio, Frances Yip and Jenny Tseng help this girl succeed? She has the range too. Watch her hit the whistle register in her rendition of Loving You.

Emil Chau Wakin is actually from Hong Kong too. He left for Taiwan in his teens to further his studies.

[Sugar]

I think GEM recently won some singing awards. Any info on her? Is she from the states? :-D

[johanng]

JACKY Cheung is the simply best

I think she's from Hong Kong but not sure.

GEM is really good, i think she is from HK too though, maybe got education somewhere else. her voice range matches that of janice

[kidd]

Anyone has more info on these 2 guys. They sing very well.

Keith Wong Hoi Chun (王凱駿) & Alex Wu Kai Wing (扈佳榮)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMqlE3jStlM

I only know Keith is the winner of the 2004 EEG New Talent Singing Competition but only manage to release an album called 'The New Man (優秀男聲)' with Alex Wu this year.

Just found out Alex Wu participated in the 2007 EEG New Talent Singing Competition but don't know what placing he got.

[Jirehmy]

Gem is good.

Based on youtube (one to two songs to test out the artists below), I think those with potential are:

Terence Tsui
Albert Chau
Det

Oscar Siu has some appeal but badly needs to improve on his breathing technique/support. His notes are weak.

One main problems with Hong Kong pop is the lack of creativity. The songs sound almost the same.

Besides GEM (鄧紫棋), I also found some other singers that people say are good.

Colleen Lau 可岚
Eva Chan 陳詩慧
Cherry Wong 黃鎧晴
Rannes Man 文恩澄
Louis Cheung 張繼聰
Terence Tsui 小肥
Albert Chau 周吉佩
Det 狄易达

I'll check out Oscar Siu (蕭潤邦) too.

Just listen to an RTHK radio show where the host Albert Au invite people to come to his show to sing live. It's interesting because some of the people invited are not professional singers and you wouldn't get to hear them sing often.

The one I listen to yesterday has Nat Chan as guest. It seems that he's releasing an album. He has an interesting voice and he's really can sing. I like his voice.

This is the radio show

http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/radio2/reunion/

This is Nat Chan's episode.

http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/radio2/r.../20081005.html

Interested people better listen to it soon. It's last year's program. Won't stay for long.

One of the song in his album.

男人心事

Terence Yin is also good.

I really like Kay Tse. This video is so impressive to me...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=597IrYN5o0Q


Can someone help me identify this song? I know its supposed to be an HK classic by the 4 Heavenly Kings. I need the song title.

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/i_02wn3eF4c/

Its sang by Kay on 2:35 after Charlene and before Denise.

The song is 這個冬天不太冷 by Jacky Cheung.
