(1) Roman Tam was awesome. (2) One of the biggest differences between old Cantopop songs composed by geniuses such as Joseph and Koo and Michael Lai and the new ones (post-2000) is the melody. The melody of a song, as well as its lyrics, is the SOUL of any song. But for some reason, contemporary Cantopop composers seem to have completely discarded this simple principle. Old Cantonese songs are EXTREMELY melodious, and those melodies are EXTREMELY memorable. Even someone who's half tone-deaf, such as my late father, would be able to memorize and even hum them after hearing them just a few times. Contemporary Cantopop songs COMPLETELY lack this quality. Most of these songs, even though I may have listened to them 50 times, I still cannot remember, let alone hum their melody. (And I am very musically-educated.) (3) The second major difference between the two is, of course, the lyrics. Old-generation lyricists (e.g. James Wong & Jimmy Lo) were able to express profound ideas in simple words, maybe due to their scholarly background, rich personal experience, and something else. And even some "younger" and less traditional lyricists, such as Andrew Lam and the late Richard Lam, still adhered to the same principle - simple words and short phrases to convey profound meaning and deep emotions. However, contemporary Cantopop lyricists, even some very good ones such as Albert Leung and Wyman Wong, have this unfortunate tendency to crowd 60 words into one simple phrase. The lyrics have become so verbose, contrived, and convoluted that, even after having listened to a song over 50 times, one still doesn't know what it's about. Moreover, they are all obsessed with rhymes; as result of such obsession, the "story" that they are trying to tell sounds like "word salad" - a hodge-podge of unrelated ideas tossed into a bowl. The lyrics, like the melodies, have become completely unmemorable. I know I must sound very old-fashioned and overly nostalgic to some. But just listen to this classic "Chameleon" sung by the glorious Roman Tam. It touches me in ways that no so-called contemporary Cantopop classics such as those sung by Eason Chan do.
flyingzone I absolutely agree with you! And some of those classics have lyrics that were beautifully written and contains philosophical ideas, such as 家變sang by Roman. I love those songs as they could bring me back to the time when the performing arts were flourishing in Hong Kong. I feel nostalgic to the 70s and 80s even as a teenager who was born in the new century. What a glorious time for Hong Kong.
There had been two eras of extraordinary lyrics from two very different generations . Shanghai 1930's - early 1940's was the early one and Hongkong mid 1970's-early 1990's was the latter. Taiwan had its hey days running through 2-3 decades, but the lyrics of Taiwanese music were from above average to very good level, not as superb as the Canto Pop peak period, nor Old Shanghai golden era.
羅文多才多藝，係舞台皇者，巨星，歌，影，視，舞台劇，京曲，舞蹈俱佳。關正傑主要係唱歌，他的歌聲的確好!
(2024.3.20)
罗文真的利害！！！
歌詞道盡不少人的一生經歷！
鄺志立，賀昇，程啓聰，三人成長的故事，有成功，有失敗，有聰敏，有愚蠢，一代電視劇。
關正傑 羅文 二人風格就是天和地；往往但同一首歌 他們又唱出各自各的味道；難分高低！
羅記
廣東話一絕
回憶當初十八歲😢
依家睇返，蔡琼輝真係好靚！
吾計張英果班老前輩，果時電視藝員嘅型格，已砌低宜家果d所謂電影明星。👍
羅文唱得好好！
羅文版有哀愁感
傳奇羅文，歌壇北斗
变色龍有多個版本，歌者各有千秋，皆實力派；有以滄桑，有以悲涼，有用感性，有用慨歎；羅文回望訴說，難抛棄夢幻，讓我今后面對，望著人寰改变！一絕
成敗有如一個轉面🈵🈶🉐🌹🔴😍🌈💯💝
现在再听才觉得以前的经典好歌。。可能是写给几十年后的人听
身一次聽呢個版本, 正~ 與Michael Kwan版本, 各有千秋~
leslie 版 正呀
各有風味
其實亞視多套劇集真的好好睇又有水準.不過起初的人慣性睇無記唧.例如.變色龍.鱷魚淚.大地恩情.再見艷陽天.不能盡錄.
你舉嘅例子有三套係麗的製作，亞視只係承繼咗啲劇集擁有權。亞視根本同麗的唔同級數。
馬敏兒👍
這首歌關正傑唱得最自然，味道最好
除了關正傑以外哥哥版的也不錯啊可惜他不在了
各有千秋，羅文唱歌係有D歌劇舞台feel嘅。
在他離開18年後的今晚聽著，已不能用文字言語形容。謝謝分享！🙏💘
羅記和關正傑版本一樣正
好怀念马敏儿。
我想念關正傑幾許無奈，幾許唏噓的詮釋。
三男主角中, 劉緯民至靚仔
少女时期的马敏儿真是明丽动人。！
不知马敏儿近况。还好吗?

暫時聽到了正版關正傑, Cover Version羅文和張國榮
两位唱的十分好听多谢分享
想到自己超多的好觉得他没慧眼
这麽多好他不懂真可惜没关系很多人懂
不输关正杰
dont know why but this song is stuck in my head for all these years
我超棒他超烂。我后悔把最棒我浪费烂人那里不过不太久还好。2017死心
浪费自己在最烂的人那里很可惜
他变很多很多让他变
普通人唱歌,一般都是唱karaoke版.受伴奏所限,只能跟原唱唱,自己可以發揮的很有限.歌星則不同,可重新編曲.
Thank you very much
羅文歌唱技巧比關正傑高，唱出感情，高低輕重音適宜，咬字清晰。
我反而覺得關正傑唱得出嗰種滄桑感, 你講既也正確, 羅文唱得好好, 好有技巧, 但配合劇情能帶出深義的還是關好啲啲... 但羅的確係關以外最佳的版本!
各有千秋，難分軒輊
各有千秋。
羅文出名唱歌咬字正，這個是後生歌手的榜樣
@@mankonglee2708 Excatly! 要怎樣無聊才會將漢堡包與家鄉雞去比較哪個好吃？還有張國榮的Pizza呀。
應該有劉志榮主唱的版本
羅文唱得不錯，但關正傑的更有味道。
「若要生活好，轉行做差佬…」 到今時今日, 仍然適用~
若要生活好，轉行做差佬，日日打巿民，成日屌老母，殺人又强姦，罪行已滔滔，天網疏不漏，善惡終有報，死後落陰曹，何必做差佬。
@@mickeywong7870
Yes !
Mickey Wong 願三萬黑警橫屍街頭，家破人亡
記得賀昇講完呢句嘢之後俾咗個兩蚊銀個西裝友，然後話：「攞兩蚊去食魚蛋粉啦！」
從未聽過此版本，是收錄在羅文先生那一隻唱片中呢？
遲來的愛，還看今朝
th-cam.com/video/gpQY_gD_SUs/w-d-xo.html
有冇原剧集睇？
關正傑曾翻唱羅文的《這個秋天》，羅文亦重唱關正傑的《變色龍》，惺惺相惜，樂迷得益。强國滋生病毒，讓五百萬愚民跑走播毒，禍害全球，還指鹿為馬，嫁禍花旗。强國誇稱病情受控，但為何最佳盟友俄羅斯和北韓仍拒强國人入境? 袁國勇敢言説出真相，反受政治打壓。愚民盲目撐共，助長獨裁者侵略世界，小心自食苦果。其實只要强國尊重人權，嚴守普世價值，與花旗國通力合作，對抗疫情，才是人類之福。
問題可能怕㑹暴露疫情的真相 !
關正傑羅文係我這個大陸仔最愛的兩位香港歌壇男藝人。
我以为张国荣是原唱。
劉德華和所有的人都説過亞視和當時的樂迷都不懂得欣賞張國榮啊
好多位走咗~
公石七九
我被害很惨很多都能感受生活都超强大
他脑没知慧
唱唔到關正傑果種蒼感
做错一直怪别人嘴从不怪他都很烂教养。算了没救了他别救
羅文這隻歌我感覺他響聲令人嘈吵
