Writer/ Time	Topic: Who’s a better singer, Andy Lau (刘德华) or Jacky Cheung (张学友)?
Jim 8-15-2006 5:25 pm.	Some people say Jacky is the best Chinese singer. I don’t think so! Andy is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so wonderful, I almost cried! OK, I did cry, but that’s because Andy is so handsome!
Tom 9-3-2006 4:38 pm.	I disagree with Jim. Andy sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. On the other hand, Jacky’s voice is unique, and his songs are so romantic!
Linda 9-10-2006 8:54 pm.	I think they’re about the same. But Andy is a better actor. I’ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one where he was an airplane pilot, and his plane crashed near a farm? I love that movie!
John 9-16-2006 10:25 pm.	I also think Jacky is a better singer. I prefer his Cantonese (粤语) songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language.
Tom 10-2-2006 10:12 am.	I agree. Jacky’s Cantonese songs are better than his Mandarin (华语) songs. (Though, I still like all his songs!)
