AvadaKedavra Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I feel like all the Main Jpop-Japanese Pop Divas and some Kpop Divas like Boa (All of them near retirement) were as grand-interesting as the Anglo Ones (US/UK/AUS/CAN...) Diverse concepts for their albums. Touching All types of genres. Electronic/R&B/World Music/Rock/Dancepop/Acoustic Huge and expensive Videographies. Captivating Smart Lyricism. The Concerts Tours very big with great productions Singers like Ayumi Hamasaki-Utada Hikaru-Namie Amuro-Koda Kumi-Boa and more... are Iconic Japan is one of the top 5 largest markets in the music world. Korea too They had the budget to invest in some really strong solo singers In Europe i feel like the French singer Mylene Farmer stands out among so many generic european pop singers with a lack of substance Remarkable poetic songwriting-Dark af-Glamorous-Some really Expensive breathtaking videos-Her Tours are also pretty impressive and look fancy She really feels....how you imagine a Popstar from the "edgy" "highly cultural" Europe to be. Deep Here in Latinoamerica stars like Thalia-Paulina-Belinda....in their creative peak had some really enchanting concepts-videos-tours and diverse albums. They feel a little bit manufactured sometimes but they also had some interesting personas to be fair. Of course no one here in the spanish world comes close to Shakira. As y'll now she had something very very unique and authentic goin on with her She showed it to the world and she shines as bright today as the American Divas with their own biomes-worlds-niches Stream el jefe Now its your turn POST YOURS. It can be a Pop Queen or Pop King As many know, American and Anglo divas have very unique vibes and colors. They are incredibly interesting to follow, a product of their creativity but also the great support of being born in the world's largest creative industry. Do you know of singers worldwide of this type? Pop queens-princess-kings from different countries? Who feel as interesting as the Mainstream Anglo divas-popboys? Singers who, if they had a successful crossover in the past or today, would bring a lot of magic to the entire planet? Does your country-region, so to speak, have its own Madonna-Adele-Shakira-Beyonce-Michael Jackson? or some special type of singer with talents above everyone else but very unrecognized-unknown by the planet We know the Olympic Gods of anglo music. What about the Olympic gods of all the different languages-regions? Chinese-Dutch-Hindi-Arabic-Portuguse-Romanian-Pinoy-Swedish-African-Nigerian........

Cyanide Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The problem is that a lot of them were borrowing from artists who were already popular at the time of their peaks take BoA and Britney for example, even though BoA is an absolutely incredible dancer performer and has such a beautiful unique vocal tone that I love so much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America has such a strong influence all over the planet. Everything is invented in the States first. Money and Tech talks lol When Gaga released the Fame. Everyone worldwide tried to have their EDM moment and serve gaga for a moment. Did some research into it. International labels want to create their successful superstars but with the folklore of their country. Havin the America's mold is easier for them i guess??? so, thats why they copy so much? Singers like Ayumi-Utada-Namie-Jolin Tsai been influenced by madonna-janet-britney-rockbands-r&b acts but i think their discographies stand by themselves Their vibes are very specific of them. They been able to blend that inspiration and make it work somehow with their own flavor. They also have so many songs in their discography and videos influenced by their native cultures. So many american acts cant copy-imitate that. I agree about Boa. Her first teen albums are very Britney esque. I think with the pass of time she created her own road-path. She's a dancer but with her own themes and style now. My favorite Boa is older Boa. Thank you all for your comments. love all the artists-stars you are all posting So many Undiscovered Gems all over the planet. Listening new dope artists.... feels like opening a buried treasure chest Keep em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbannature Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Namie Amuro is pretty consistently referred to as the Queen of JPop and the Janet/Madonna of Japan because of her constant reinvention, comebacks, and having the highest quality discography of the JPop girls (especially in the 90s-00s). She's retired now, but her discography and videography are that of legends. Her story is fascinating as well (her mother was brutally murdered at the height of her success and the label forced her to continue promoting like nothing happened). Quote Due to her career longevity, resilience, professionalism, efforts behind-the-scenes in the music industry, and her way of life, she is considered a pop culture icon in Japan and Asia. She has been referred to as "Diva of Heisei Era" and the "Queen of Japanese Pop", and has been recognized as having the influence and career impact domestically equivalent to artists such as Janet Jackson and Madonna in Western music and pop culture. Having sold more than 40 million records, Amuro is recognized as one of the best-selling artists in Japan by Oricon. Since her solo debut, she achieved top 10 singles for 23 consecutive years (#1 for solo artist). All of her albums are certified Platinum, and her debut solo album, Sweet 19 Blues, was the best selling album in Japan. She is the only artist in Japan to sell a million albums in her teens, 20s, 30s and 40s. Her last album, Finally, topped the year-end album charts of both Oricon and Billboard Japan for two consecutive years (the first and only artist in the Japanese Music Industry to do so). Utada may be slaying with her newfound quality, but Namie will forever be the influential Queen of J-Pop with the overall greatest discography. She continues to hold the record for the best-selling single by a solo female artist. Albums I recommend: some of my favorite songs and/or vids (only clips on youtube): eating up the Tokyo Dome: serving vocals singing the best-selling female song ever in Japan: Edited September 23, 2023 by suburbannature 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she has that honorific mention I cant deal with the fact of how she just dissapeared from the music landscape to never be found.....................is so painful. Namie comeback Do you know anything about her? Where's she's livin? Is her retirement forever? Do we have any new candids from her? -------------------------------------------------------------------... Im not Italian but i think Laura Pausini is an impressive artist and deserves to be in this thread. Here in Latinoamerica her songs were everywhere Her videos and tours look real interesting and with a good budget. She also tried to crossover to the States Do italians have respect for her? there's somene better than Laura in Italy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
