live singing i see everyday.... no big deal or anything
yeaa, there are some that sing awesomely well like fayne wang.... but theyre age and matureness brings everything down
these days, its more of the younger singers with talents that take over.... like jay chou, david tao, wang lee hom etc.
maybe some of u guys on this thread are quite out of the teenage years.... but i doubt theres a lot of teenagers that like han hong or any other older singers these days (with the exception of andy lau) even if they are overrated, they are still active in donations or "dai yan", unlike some (i hardly ever see them on most entertainment news and stuff)....

the typical teenager is also the one who doesn't know how to identify america on the map, or any other country.

just because they don't care about how singers sing live, it doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't either.

Some classics:

The Beatles, "All My Loving," THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, February 9, 1964

From the same show, "I Want To Hold Your Hand"

"I Saw Her Standing There", Swedish TV (1963)

"Yesterday," live at the Budokan (Japan), 1966

[jay_z]

Bon Jovi - Livin' On a Prayer (Live8 Concert)
- Great song + great performance + large crowd participation = awesome concert experience
- Need to turn the volume up when listening to this song
- Do any of you like Richie Sambora used of the talkbox?

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (Live at Wembley)
- Live version is different from CD version.
- Freddy Mercury owned the stage. He was one of the greatest singers ever. What a tremendous voice.


Led Zeppelin = Whole Lotta Love & Stairway to Heaven
- incredible unique sound
- The greatest rock band ever!

[Ken Cheng]

Elvis Presley, "One Night," 1968 comeback performance

WTF?!? Music is for the ears, not for the eyes. Who cares if they're old, as long as the music is good. I'm sorry to say this, but teens today are way too shallow and empty minded. Their attention span lasts a second and all they care about is image without artistic value. When I was a teen, I had no problem liking The Beach Boys and so were my friends. I don't know what the parents feed today's teens, but they're awful.

Who says the newcomers are more talented? Surely it's not the empty minded teens of today that will convince me otherwise.

I'm a simple person so I like simple things. I don't need a big spectacle to impress me. I don't need a dance show nor a light show full of special effects. All I want is to see the artist sing the songs and play their instruments. I also don't care how the artists dress and look, I simply don't need all that extra stuff, just the raw performances (with flaws) make me happy.

The Clash - I Fought The Law
- AWESOME, that's all I can say about this video

Queen - Under Pressure (Wembley Stadium, 1986)
- Great song, amazing performance

Below is my favourite band(s). I like seeing their progression and regression. No matter what, it's still my favourite band(s) in the world. I hope that you guys and gals have the same chance as me and like an artist that has a long history because it makes following their career very interesting. Unfortunately, I think that this is it for New Order fans; they're splitting after 27 years, 31 years if you include their time as Joy Division .

Joy Division - She's Lost Control and Shadowplay (Pub in Alltrincham, 1979)
- Amazing footage of one of the most influential post-punk band

New Order - Ceremony (Estoc De Pop, Barcelona, 1984)
- My favourite song played with high speed, different from the studio recording versions

New Order - True Faith (Reading Festival, 1998)
- The tightest they've ever been and seeing Barney (singer, guitarist) and Hooky (bassist) happy together is a rare thing to see

New Order - Warsaw (John Peel Day, 2005)
- Older (and fatter), going back to their roots and playing a Joy Division song


24 Hour Party People
Control

Case in point, here's the Beach Boys performing "Surfer Girl" live on the T.A.M.I. SHOW back in 1964.

Kids these days. They just don't get rock 'n roll.

The Beatles, "I'm Down," 1965 at Shea Stadium (New York) - rock 'n roll, down and dirty the way it should be!

Well i respect your opinion that singers who sing well live shouldn't be treated as better singers as those who sing well on recording.

lucky you that you don't have to listen to album songs, only live singers.

you're the type of person who makes other think that us teenagers are all complete idiots.



Contrary to your opinion, Han Hong is not the only singer I like.



define newcomers who are more talented.
I sincerely hope you didn't mean Cyndi Wang.

[grace]

Steven Ma, with his deep and melodious voice, sings wonderfully. Imo, his rendition of Shanghai Tan was wonderful, righ behind Frances Yip's. This man can act, can sing, let's see if he can dance too.

While I agree that pop these days bases too much on looks and not enough on talent, I don't think everyone should be attacking people who like pop. Each to their own and it's not necessary to set a condescending tone.

There's nothing wrong in liking pop. If it's good, it's good. The problem here is that some people are putting down an artist just because he/she is old. No one has said anything about pop in this thread.

Since you mentioned pop though, I must admit that I have less respect for pop artists because most don't write their own songs, but rely on others to do the one thing that music artists should do, music. Many pop artists are just nice packages wrapped nicely by producers. Still, I can appreciate any pop song no matter who thought of the song and therefore I can't condone others for liking pop either.
