I can't decide if I like Mr. Mr. or Girls and Love. Neither really stands out as immediately catchy though. Is T-ara coming out with anything in the near future? They're basically guaranteed earworms.

EXO-M happens to have two of the best singers in the entire group. Chen may mangle his Mandarin, but — like Jia singing/rapping in Korean — he'll embarrass quite a few native speakers. Easily.

Will take me a while to get back into it. Life been nightmarish.
Hold your head. Cheers.

Join the club! :p
BRB, finishing up my T-Pop confessions page for the imaginary Popu Lady subunit with these two. Best Lady? Vox Populi-ady?


Dice's Taiwanese Pop video post for the new page.

Of the two, BY2 has them beat musically and performance wise, though Melted is cool, and one or two of Popu Lady's other songs are ok.

You mean one because Chen is the only one who can sing in EXO M. He´s the missing piece of EXO K.

I really like Exo but i´m not blind to the fact the they are one of the most uneven groups in Kpop, almost as SUJU. EXO K has everything, Chen would be an awesome add just because it can hit high notes godlike style and makes beatiful harmonies with Bacon.

The rest of them are plain boring, Lay is the only one with potential to vastly improve but it needs more time.

You'd think that guy might realise that yelling at his favourite rhythmic gymnast right before she starts her routine is possibly not the greatest way to help her concentration.

Haha, if I ever started a PL tumblr, I would totally call it Vox Populady.

Seohyun still rocking that arms crossed "I just sold fifty properties/unblocked a femoral artery/coached a softball team to intergalactic success" stare.

Ok Jessica wins for now.

Just wanted to rectify something about Dice's post. T-Pop already refers to Thailand lol. The correct term would be Mando-Pop iirc.

Mando!? Never heard it. This also means "I send/order" in Portuguese

Taiwanese artists don't want to be lumped in with Chinese artists like that.

If Jo Hyung Ki could be accepted back after only one goddamn year in prison, MC Mong should be able to come back hassle-free.
 
Jolin Tsai is one of the only artists semi-regularly mentioned here over the years.

By that estimation, EXO-K has only two singers; three depending on your stance on Suho. Disagree on only Lay having potential, and I'm hardly an "Exotic" or anything like that.

Taiwanese Pop

In addition to the groups already pointed out, I like a bit of Dream Girls (an SEO nightmare) too.

If anything, Chinese artists are being lumped in with Taiwanese artists (around 80% of Chinese-language music sales in China are produced in Taiwan) but regardless Mandopop is the typically used term as a) this music wave's key identifier is a language not a single country, and b) it's been called that for decades. "Gang-Tai" might be an alternative but that'll never get significant traction because of English linguistic hegemony and I believe that term is of mainland Chinese origin anyway.

I'd genuinely be interested to know what Taiwanese artists don't want to fall under the Mandopop umbrella (apart from, obviously, Hokkien pop artists, some of which may actually be singing in Hokkien as a form of protest against China) as it is that umbrella that is allowing them to earn great money and popularity in Singapore, Malaysia, at home, and especially China. Any recent protests from Taiwanese artists that I have heard about have been in response to specific political events rather than a culture war, and those artists (e.g. Mayday) quickly back-pedalled when Chinese fans got wind of it.

I just got off life support.

Are those four the only ones from the shoot?

The only 4 printed in the magazine.
