Assignment Three 2nd EditionTypes of singers in Taiwan

In the multicultural country, Taiwan, there are many types of music performed by different types of singers. Some of them compose the rock music while others love the Eastern hip hop and traditional Chinese songs. Roughly, I classify all Taiwanese singers into three types: pop, tradition, rock.

Firstly, pop singers dominate the major fashionable(主流?) music maket(spelling). About eight out of ten of them are singing the love songs. Like a singer called Jay, he is not only a typical pop singer, but also a composer and producer. He used to play typical love songs, but now he has started playing the Chinese hip hop music which combined(present tense) some Chinese traditional elements like Chinese guitar and opera, so that his album represents many i nteresting rhyme and rap which is rarely performed by western singers. I think he has made a difference from those powerful countries which dominate the major global music markets. Jay is one of the representatives of Taiwanese pop singers.

Secondly, the traditional singers are usually singing the traditional Taiwanese songs which often show sadness due to the history of Taiwan. The most famous singer in this type of music is Judy Jiang, who won the “Best Taiwanese Female Singer” several times. The young Taiwanese-song singer said “ we won’t have any chance to win, if Miss. Jiang doesn't retire." In the market of traditional songs, because of Jiang’s experience in her childhood, her voice is more“sophisticated“, which means you are easily touched by her songs, described by the senior producer and audience (structure). Undoubtedly, She is a powerful Taiwanese traditional female singer.

Thirdly, the rock singers have been popular for many years who take the second place of Taiwanese music market since a famous band call“May Day” who blew up the trend of rock and represented the spirit of rock(structure). Why they are so famous is because they performd in the debut as a student-image group, so that lots of female young students were crazy able(spelling) them. The way to their success(ideas are not clear enough, do you mean "their skyrocketing way of success"?) was just like driving a car on a highway that time(?). Hence, the rock music has been attractive to people since that time.

To sum up, although, there are still many types of singers in Taiwan, those types I have described are almost the most important and effective(inappopriate word). However, music is a way of life. Don't just listen what you are supposed to listen to. Try to enjoy all kinds of music now.
