G.E.M. Tang (HK Pop)

G.E.M. is a relatively new face in the HK scene, with her first (and only) EP released in 2008. She is only 17. What differentiates her (IMO) from a lot of the new talent is HK is she can really sing well. It's a good start, there was a point I felt like they were taking looks first, second, third and then got around to if the person had any talent. (I really think they looked at girls, thought "Wow, they can take a nice cover picture" and then signed them to make cd's.)


WHERE DID U GO - My favorite song of hers.

Don't expect a lot of information from me about her because there really isn't much to say. She is clearly on the fast track, a winner of a singing competition in HK, a trained pianist, and a voice that outshines almost all of her contemporaries. In a HK market that (IMO) lacks a lot of new and interesting faces, G.E.M. strikes me as someone with a good future, and I am really looking forward to new material to her in the future. (You'd think she will have a new cd this year.) Once her new material comes out I'm sure there will be more information about her. I am confident she will be popular, and she's the most interesting new talent to me since Janice came out a few years ago. There are very few chinese artists I would buy their cd's because most of them are just a few good songs, and 8 or 9 filler. Janice, Leon Lai (not as much as before) Vivian Chow (if there is an interesting re-issues), A-Mei (is she retired?), possibly Justin Lo and now G.E.M.
