 | | The lyrics of his songs are unusually coarse and vulgar; his target is mainly the poorly educated and his songs seldom appear on TV or radio. | | | Cantopop stars such as Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Priscilla Chan and Danny Chan quickly became household names in the then British colony in the late 1980s with exciting talents such as Beyond, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau soon to emerge as firm contenders in the early 1990s. | | | In the past, Cantopop maintained the Cantonese Opera tradition of matching the musical notes with tones in the Cantonese language. |

| | Stars are literally made, and not born; their grooming to the top of the pyramid has been tried and tested, and usually never fails. | | | Sales generally reach billions of dollars every year, and it is a commodity that is eagerly consumed throughout South East Asia, and the numerous Chinese communities littered across the world. | | | He sent out people to scout for promising people, and hired a songwriter to produce theme songs for his TV drama serials, which eventually became more popular than the serials themselves. |

| | I chose those the nominee that had a hand in shaping Cantopop music, which was the most difficult part as all these artists played a very important part and their contributions were invaluable. | | | Most of today's HK artists are hardly defining the Cantopop industry and their music is hardly desired. | | | I don't think much can happen in the industry within the next year, given the current scenario and the lack of talented creativity in the music scene. |

| | Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dr Tony Mitchell, realised the extent of its fan base in Melbourne's Chinatown last year when he discovered that Faye Wong, the Beijing-born, Hong Kong-based singer and actress, had sold out the Melbourne and Sydney entertainment centres. | | | Backed by Western instruments, she sings light pop and ballads, including English, Japanese, Latin and American originals, in both Mandarin and Cantonese. | | | "Cantopop has generally been neglected or derided along with most other Asian pop music, due to its unashamed espousal of pop sentimentality in both lyrics and music," said Dr Mitchell. |
