My all-time favourite is A-Mei Chang. I have her stunning dark photo on my Study wall. To see her old photo, and listen to her music at the same time, drives me insane!
I would say “Chinese girls singer they have amazing talented of singing lesson trainees all days”. How does Chinese girls artist/singer to recognized their great live performance in China all this month?
Nos. 1,2,4 & 8 should be in the top 10 list, for sure.
The rest are not as good as a good number of others who are not listed
Different era has different superstars. But only Teresa, Faye Anita and Ah Mei deserve to be in the all time top 10 list. The rest are good but suspects
A list without Bella Yao is a hoax.
