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.
