What happens to music when the entertainment industry has complete control (c.f. The Sausage Cycle). Cantopop's melodic lines are distinct from those in North American music which may result from having little to no influence from blues and jazz. In live performance, Cantopop is a million dollar spectacle of lights and choreography to rival the most ambitious Grammy award spectacles -- to the point that stages are usually surrounded by tables decked with candles and white table-cloths for the elite. There is a growing underground scene in Hong Kong, however, that has produced promising bands including Beige and Jevad.
