China's Hua Chenyu to Take the World!

A shy lad from China's back country has grown to become a national -- and a growing international -- music sensation with his talents on loan from God Himself.  Hua Chenyu combines classical music, pop, rock, hip hop, and Peking opera to create his own genre of music.  His good looks -- the doey eyes and high nose ridge -- don't hurt none either.  A. True. Genius.

Chinese Superstar: Gloria Tang (aka GEM, Deng Ziqi)

Asians are hott...and the new kool.  Epic!

Xiao Pingguo (Little Apple): China's Response to "Gangnam Style"

So Summer 2012 saw social media drive up Psy's "Gangnam Style" to number 1 on YouTube.  In 2014, Chopsticks Brothers (a Mainland Chinese band) experienced a similar phenom with their catchy single "Xiao Pingguo" (Little Apple).

Below is the Korean take on "Xiao Pingguo."  The girl group is called T-ARA.  Classic K-pop style with the sleek, stylized dancing.  There're so many things wrong with K-pop.  But somehow it does catch and retain our attention.  Maybe it's the girls' mesmerizing beauty...
