i couldn't even listen to the original version anymore, why? it's not beacuse i don't like it, it's just beacuse i listened so many times that i need maybe another 5-10 years to feel nostalgia again, like jin yong's novels, maybe each of his popular ones i read more than 10 times
basically i am against rendition with new lyrics, HK is special beacuse it's too imbalanced, so many singers so few composers.
i don't even think a singer likes to sing old songs, he/she only does that beacuse running out of good fresh songs.
give composers more repsect, both socially and financially. i'll go to the extreme that they are more important than singers who make songs famous, only this way can pop music blossom
