Mandopop: Top 10 of the fourth quarter of 2014

Not quite so many really good songs this last quarter. Jolin Tsai almost got three songs on the list. And she kissed a girl.

10. Jay Chou - Extra Large Shoes. A fun video from Mr Famous.

9. Bonnie - Yolo. Surpsiingly enough her teen age attitude didn't irritate me as I thought they would. probably due to the humoristic edge.

8. Yise Loo - Addicted. Nice rock sound and a good voice.

7. Yang Rong - I do, my emperor. Catchy pop sounds and a nerdy video. That's enough.

6. Shiny - Da Bomb. A rather different approach for a mandopop video. I like it.

5. A-Lin - All in. A beautiful and almost grandiose melody.

4. Wang Rong - Chick Chick. Like the mega hit Little Apple earlier this year, this had the chance of becoming an internet meme, but it was just a little to much for many people I think. Instead it beame a kind of laugh-and-forget thing.

3. Jolin Tsai - Play. Most of her videos are pure eye candy and this is no exception, and the song is catchy.

2. Wang Qiao - Hello, Mulan. More of a children's song, but it is so catchy that it must be included.

1. Jolin Tsai - We're all different, yet all the same. The kiss between her and Ruby Lin while they marry is her crowning achievement so far in regards to her pro-homo support. And the song is really a touching one.

Mandopop: Jolin Tsai - We're all different, Yet all the same (不一樣又怎樣)

With the 4th song and video from her latest album, Taiwanese pop star Jolin tsai yet again explores the theme of homosexuality. She has dealt with the subject funnily in Dr Jolin and like a "Fantasy", but with "We're all different, Yet all the same", she takes yet another important step by showing explicitly a female couple marrying and kissing (she and Ruby Lin), and I she is really deserves praise for this. Great videos, great songs and a great message about love - Jolin Tsai comes at the top in my book of asian artists.
