I don't really want to compare them.. but hehe what the heck. There are things you will notice between OPM and JPOP.. Before I noticed most JPOP artists especially actors-turned-singers.. Well, they sounded, lets say "not so good".. Cos i've been listening to a number of JPOP artists since childhood. But there are a lot of good JPOP artists really, in terms of singing. I like the these group called [b]BUZY[/b], [b]The Indigo[/b], and [b]YUI[/b] (jRock). Compared to OPM artists BEFORE, i noticed Filipinos sang better. But not anymore, cos a lot of singers here are now also actors-turned-singers! I admit there are a lot of talented OPM artists out there. And I wish they were given more exposure and chances to reach a bigger audience. But the ones who gets more popularity are the actors-turned-singers. It's sad cos a lot of them aren't really that good. In tagalog, "[i]Basta sikat ka, kanta ka lang ng kanta![/i]" In other words, our music industry in the Philippines have become similar to Japan. OPM has changed a lot, cos you don't have to be great at singing to get a record label.
