Talk:C-pop

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit]

This article is about Chinese Popular Music. I don't understand why it is entitled "C-pop"? Whereas as K-pop and J-pop are relatively specific styles of music, this article is NOT about NEW Chinese pop music. No one ever called Li Jinhui C-pop. 82.224.103.123 (talk) 12:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced and biased statements

[edit]

"Recent modern Chinese pop acts often rely heavily on western pop music influences, such that Chinese pop is often described as a 'copycat' version of western pop." - This statement is not reliable at all without a source so I had it removed. Chorus chord patterns from Chinese pop songs generally follow a similar chord pattern, unlike English pop songs which do not have a similar chord pattern during the chorus. --218.186.9.3 04:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only mandopop and cantopop?

[edit]

I propose we change the text to "two major subcategories". There is c-pop in other dialects, too. I understand that most of Taiwanese pop is not C-pop but that does not mean there are not others. For example, 伍家辉 is Malaysian and sings Hokkien songs, which I classify as C-pop. Also, Taiwanese group 五月天 has Taiwanese songs that are nothing like enka but more like C-pop.

Los angeles

[edit]

Based on what are we saying LA is a hub for c-pop (as of 2008)? Benjwong (talk) 16:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discarding of proper nouns

[edit]

Is this a trend in Wikipedia? Mainland China --> mainland China, Simplified Chinese --> simplified Chinese, and now cantopop and mandopop. How about saying china and taiwan next time? Sounds cool doesn't it? 116.14.163.124 (talk) 08:35, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Google? Really?

[edit]

This article talks about "Google Piracy continues to exist in China[6] but Google have since announced a cooperation deal offering free listening and genuine music copies" and "Google mp3 became available in March 2009.[8]". Google is banned in mainland China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.63.9.167 (talk) 01:33, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anachronism

[edit]

It looks REALLY anachronistic to call some Chinese musician from the early 20th century to be a pop icon of "C-Pop". This article is not describing something, rather creating it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.61.88 (talk) 15:08, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
