Singers are divided into idols and powerful factions, and there are also singers with outstanding looks and excellent singing skills, who are called powerful idol singers, and singers who are mediocre in appearance but are regarded as idols by thousands of fans.
Many people have colored glasses for the "idol faction", thinking that the singers or actors of the idol faction are "beautiful men" with no acting skills and no singing skills, just because their parents gave birth to them handsome.
Is it also the original sin that the parents of the body are good-looking?
Let's take stock of the ten idol singers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene in the 80s and 90s of the last century, the first place may be expected, and Ren Xianqi's inclusion on the list may surprise everyone.
The rankings are in no particular order, according to the age of the singer's birth from the youngest to the largest.
Tenth place, Zhang Xinzhe
Zhang Xinzhe was born on March 26, 1967 and is the youngest singer on the list.
Many people say that Zhang Xinzhe is different from other singers, because others are the king of heaven and he is the "prince of love songs", the king will be old and the prince will always be young.
According to the weight of the Taiwan Music Awards that year, anyone who won the Golden Bell Award for Best Male Singer and the Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Male Singer can be regarded as a king singer.
Therefore, Zhang Xinzhe, the winner of the Best Chinese Male Singer Award at the 7th Golden Melody Awards, is an out-and-out king of the music world.
Ninth, Dawn
At that time, the development of the HK Phil was like Hong Kong's fast-growing economy, which could be described as changing with each passing day.
In 1988, it was still "Tan Zhang Fighting for Hegemony", and in 1990 and 1991, it became the era of "Twin Stars" and "Three Musketeers".
Until Aaron Kwok returned to Hong Kong at the end of 1991, a title called the "Four Heavenly Kings" dominated the Chinese music scene for a full decade, far ahead of any other male and female singers.
Born on December 11, 1966, Liming is the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings, but he is also the only one among the Four Heavenly Kings who can be called Andy Lau in Hong Kong's popularity.
From the newcomer's ascension in 1990 to the first to withdraw from the HK Phil Awards in 1999, although many people can no longer remember that Liming is the king, Liming, who has won the Golden Melody Most Popular Male Singer Award twice and the Golden Melody Gold Award four times, is the undisputed king of heaven.
Eighth place, Ren Xianqi
After a previous article classified Ren Xianqi as an idol singer, he was suspected by some fans and friends: Although he has played roles such as Yang Guo, Ling Huchong, Chu Liuxiang, etc., how can Ren Xianqi, who is not handsome, be an idol singer.
Indeed, there is a gap between Ren Xianqi and many beautiful men.
The so-called times create heroes, and the definition of idols is different in different eras.
Because of people's pursuit of power music, Luo Dayou and Su Rui became the idols of the times in the 80s.
Because of the stimulation of personality emancipation by Taiwan's rapid economic development, Chen Shuhua became the spokesperson of metropolitan love songs, and the album sold more than one million.
Ren Xianqi's popularity is also created by the times. In that era when economic development was hindered and urban life was no longer so satisfactory, the image of a big brother next door with average appearance, average family background, and average singing skills, but the works were full of warmth, care and comfort, were really too down-to-earth, people felt cordial when they looked at him, felt warm when they listened to his songs, and felt that their dreams were not out of reach when they guarded him.
Therefore, the "Xiao Qi" in the hearts of thousands of fans is a genuine idol singer.
Moreover, Ren Xianqi's fire even overshadowed the fire of the Four Heavenly Kings for a period of time, and he used his best-selling albums and "Rotten Street" songs to become the "last king at the end of the century" in the Chinese music scene.
Seventh place, Aaron Kwok
In 1991, the Hong Kong circle had expectations and plans for the situation of "three shortages and one" in the music world, and Alan Tam, the "principal" who had faded out of the music scene for three years, also shouted to the media, calling on his little brother Li Keqin of Polygram Company (the successor of the "principal") to join the ranks of Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and Liming.
However, fate played a joke on Li Keqin, as he later laughed at himself in the song "Red Sun": even if fate is upside down, fate is twists and turns.
Relying on the two albums "Can't Stop Loving You" and "Should I Walk Away Quietly", Aaron Kwok, who suddenly became popular in the Taiwanese music scene, returned to Hong Kong to develop, and completed the last piece of the puzzle of the "Four Heavenly Kings" at once.
Although there was a gap between Aaron Kwok and the other three kings in the early stage, Aaron, who was concentrating on the HK Phil, still caught up and won the most popular male singer of the Golden Song three times.
Sixth, Andy Lau
In 1990, after the end of "Tan Zhang Competition", Andy Lau was the first junior to win the Most Popular Male Singer Award for Golden Songs symbolizing the identity of "King of Singers", and won the award in the next two years.
In 1992, Taiwan's authoritative newspaper "Minsheng Daily" held the "Taiwan Top Ten Idols" selection, Andy Lau easily won the first place, and then won the top five times in a row, and the "lonely and defeated" style of dominating the list also ended this event in 1997.
Andy Lau in the 90s is the most "rammed" idol king in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, more than 30 years later, many seniors have left, many peers have fallen behind, and many juniors have been "pasted", only he is over sixty years old, and he is still the most admired high-quality idol in the Chinese entertainment industry.
fifth, Qi Qin
Don't look at Qi Qin's appearance now, don't listen to the songs of "Little Brother" now, because not everyone can be completely self-disciplined.
The best "little brother" should stay before the millennium, especially before he set up his own "Rainbow Music" studio and served as the manager of the Taiwan branch of Keyi EMI.
The "little brother" with a long body, flowing and slightly curly hair, a toad glass, a black leather coat and leather pants, an electric guitar in his hand, and a rose in his mouth, is really crazy and obsessed.
At that time, Qi Qin may be the "Rose Prince" who is even more Tai Zhengxiao than Tai Zhengxiao.
Qi Qin also created a new era of "male learning Qi Qin" after "Male Learning Liu Wenzheng".
Fourth, Tong Ange
Don't look at the current "Four Heavenly Kings of Taiwan", because except for Zhou Huajian, the other three people have changed, Qi Qin is fat, Wang Jie is dumb, and Tong Ange is bald.
Tong Ange, who was born on July 26, 1959, is half a year older than Qi Qin.
Now, it has been a full 10 years since he last appeared in public, and 10 years ago, he was already a middle-aged uncle, with a beard, a beret, and a voice that was not as strong as it used to be.
However, after Tong Ange turned from a behind-the-scenes musician to a singer, he won a piece of recognition from fans with his charming appearance and high-quality songs.
Tong Ange was one of the early "campus princes" in Taiwan's music scene.
third place, Chen Baiqiang
Although some people say that the saying of "three kings and one queen" is a saying forcibly implanted by self-media people who do not know how to do it, there were only four superstars in the HK Phil that year: Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and Lin Zixiang.
But Chen Baiqiang, a personable and gentle "rich son", is a real king singer.
He won the most popular award in the first AGB audience sampling survey of the Golden Song of Golden Songs, and was known as the first idol singer of the HK Philharmonic, Chen Huixian, Lin Yilian, Miriam Yeung, Gigi Leung and other Hong Kong Philo divas, all of whom are Danny's super fan girls.
Chen Baiqiang's purple makes people miss it to this day.
second place, Leslie Cheung
Leslie Cheung, who was born on September 12, 1956, is the second oldest singer on the list.
Leslie Cheung's status in the music world, there is no doubt that he is a proper king, and once spelled out a "Tan Zhang hegemony" with the supreme Alan Tam in the music world.
Leslie Cheung's appearance, not to mention the question, he is elegant and calm, and he is also known as the "Four Stunning Colors of Xiangjiang" with Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, and Li Jiaxin.
The "brother" who died in 2003 is still remembered by a large number of fans and movie fans, and various mourning activities on April 1 every year tell everyone: "Brother" Although he is gone, there is still a legend of him in the rivers and lakes.
Forever miss "brother"!
The first place, Liu Wenzheng
If Chen Baiqiang is the first idol singer of the HK Phil, then Liu Wenzheng, who was born on November 12, 1952, can be regarded as the first idol singer in the Chinese music scene.
In the 70s and 80s of the last century, the Taiwanese music scene and the Southeast Asian market once became popular with the trend of "men learn Liu Wenzheng, and women learn Teresa Teng".
As the "Prince Charming" in the hearts of Zhang Aijia, Huang Yunling, and Yi Nengjing, Liu Wenzheng's popularity is even higher than Teresa Teng's, and even Lin Qingxia, the head of "Xia Yufanghong", is a little nervous in the face of Liu Wenzheng, which shows that Liu Wenzheng's light is dazzling.
Liu Wenzheng was only 32 years old when he faded out, and he was only 39 years old when he completely retired from the circle.
The inventory of the ten idol singers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene in the 80s and 90s of the last century is these, which male singers do you think can also be on the list, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to supplement, ask for praise and attention, and be grateful!
