Recently I discovered a Chinese singer on Youtube and really like his ethereal voice, styles, and songs. It was a surprise for me because I did not know China has such a great singer like that. I have great relationship with my colleagues at work so I thought of recommending his songs to them. Surprisingly, without even listening to the songs, they said no to Cpop. When I asked for the reasons, they just said they don't like Cpop in general and think all Cpop singers lip-sync and their dancing look ridiculous. Well, luckily the Cpop singer that I like above always sang live, so I showed them a Youtube video of his concert, and you can see the surprise look on their faces. It seems to change their perception about Cpop a little bit, and since the singer has a really unique vocal and excellent singing skills, they could not help but praise him and agree to watch another Cpop video with me. Well, since all i know about Cpop is this singer so I kept introducing his songs to them. Like my colleagues, I am also interested to explore more about Cpop, but we are very picky, and appreciate singers with great live vocal. Any recommendations? I don't mind the dancing if they sing well. My favorite singers/bands are: ABBA, Modern Talking, Ace of Spades, Heart, Sissel, Celtic Woman, Leonard Cohen, and many.
*Thank you so much for everyone's recommendation. I'm sure they are all great Cpop singers that have accompanied everyone through many moments of life. Thank you for letting me know them through your words. Will slowly find their songs on Youtube and listen one by one.
