yeah...that's kinda what i mean...the numbers in asians in the U.S is not large enough, we're like the fourth or fifth ethnicity that make up about only 20...maybe even a little less in percentage in the U.S, but as time comes...yes..well be up there.

I know hope that day come's soon, in my opinion I think Asians voices are a lot more purer then Americans. Unlike some american songs that put down another gender, I really like Asian songs. Especially Taiwanese.

they need to speak english fluently

well... i think.. asians are making it bog in america.. ashwariya rai has made 2 films first went flop.. coz it was based on indian stuff.. i think shes staring in pink panther 2 ! .. in the big brother shw shilpa shetty won ... nasarudin shah starred in league of extraordinary men ! ... its lik this u cant go to japan n sing in tulu(its a language) ! people wont understnd.. n wont bother .... but if the music is nice ppl will love it.. n probably after smhw readin n understandin the lyrcs they wil love it .. i dont knw japanese but i love japanse punk!!!! .. so in america u need to have music tht touches the ppl to be hit ~

C-Pop Rox Ova American Songs

simple.. they cant make it big... they cant really appeal to the americans most people i know only know about manifest, the korean rappers

Americans are too distracted by the rap and hip-hop and crunking and all the shizz. >_>"

Have you ever thought of APL of the Black Eyed Peas?... He's a Filipino.

English as a language doesn't lend itself too well to some music types. Each language have a somewhat distinctive sounds, so each language has melodies that harmonizes with those sounds better. Forcing a melody to another language is pretty tough to pull off. Not impossible but tough. Eg Do As Infinity singing chinese lyrics for "Song of Truth" compared to the japanese version even though the er-hu is used.

really? i knew he was in black eyed peas but never knew he was flip, thats cool to know =D

b/c the majority of the asians still have a retarded english accent..esp.. those that have immigrated recently...
asians don't hav the english voice that we feel from true americans, from the families who have been living in america for at least a century..

listen to white/black etc.. americans talk.. i bet u can here the big tone and difference that they hav in compare to asians..
and despite different english accents in different parts of america that the americans talk.. they still have this tone of voice that is very different than asians

there's even some asians families that have been living in american for a century or so and they still talk in a way that i was even annoyed by it..

and it's not that americans are racist (well.. they can/are some or many) but until/unless asians get rid of their annoying accents/tone that they have when they speak english... there will never be a successful/popular singer in america...(but there are exception...that unless that asian singer's voice is really really good and just soo talented..)

and plus.. americans' taste in music is different than most or all asians

currently.. im think of jay chou :P.. but the sad part is.. he cant even talk/sing in english..but i actually presented one of his songs to my classmates.. and they say they like the music.. but they just don't/can't understand what he's singing...and so.. yea.. americans also like good lyrics..esp the ones they can relate to..

their english? and cuz of tha type of music they sing?

The language barrier is a possible factor; some people might not like foreign music. Despite how well they speak English, there will probably be some trace of an accent left which might not appeal to people. Also, I've noticed Asian music differs slightly to American/English music in style; I can't exactly name the difference (it's there though lol) so people might not appreciate Asian music the way we do >.<

I have Caucasian friends at school; all whom I have forced Asian music upon *insert evil laugh*
A couple of them really enjoyed it whilst the rest hated it =/ Really depends on the individuals taste I suppose. If Asian music were to debut in America, it's more than likely there will at least be /some/ opposition towards it.
Ah well, their loss I suppose? xP Hehe.

i force my clasmates to listen to asian music too lol. it's like you love or you hate it kind of thing. the majority of my classes love it lol. they'll be singing it in the halls not nowing wht the hell their saying=D its pretty funny.

*high fives*
lol. Exactly!
I have yet to force my entire class to listen to it - then again, I don't just have /one/ class - but hey, maybe one day xD Haha, actually...that sounds a lot like me ^^; I tend to listen to foreign music in languages I can't understand so I go around the house singing lyrics that mean gibberish to me (probably with a thick accent too >.<)
