Considering the population, there are not many Asian pop singers in the mainstream of the pop industry. However, this may account for their tendency to obsess over pop stars when pop stars visit their countries and tour there. Additionally the Asians are known for their love of kareoke as well. There is a massive appreciation and admiration for popular music but there is not a strong culture for releasing them as pop artists. I am from Australia and haven't seen American Idol recently but on Australian idol there have been no serious Asian finalists - many of the auditionees are very "extreme" and one person made a cover of a pop single and released it (even though the whole staff of Australian Idol knew it was taking the mickey out ot the industry). I am a classical singer and there are certainly a lot more Asian singers in the classical industry (opera singers) - as classical music is regarded very highly by Asian families (in general - it is very highly respected). Most of the best violin and piano students in Australia are Asian. They have a high work ethic. But perhaps trying to break into the pop industry is frowned upon by Asian families (it is not seen as a secure job) and so other careers are encouraged. Asians certainly do celebrate pop music even though they are not strongly present as singers. I would love to hear Asians answer this question to hear their viewpoint.

i could consider different than there have been different Asians beside William hung that attempted out for American idol they because of no skill made it with the aid of that not the instruct's fault all meaning is somebody w/ asian ethnicity with making a music skills hasn't yet tried out for the instruct. i don't be attentive to if this count quantity yet on the wb popstar there have been diverse pacific islander who tried out and 2 of the females in Eden's weigh down have been of asian descent Nicole now lead singer of tom cat dolls is a million/2 filipino and hawaiian and so is Maile Misajon yet u are desirable not adequate and you forgot lucy liu, Ang lee, Michelle Yeoh and different warm asian chicks.... the females get it in a distinctive way from the boys
