Top 10 Most Influential Asians of 2008

Please submit your comments in this thread and don't forget to rate this article as well (below).

Hmm some things I agree on there but some I really don't agree. I really don't know why Jay Chou isn't even in there. He's like one of the biggest Asian stars here that even non-asians know him. Tila Tequila is pretty influential as she did make girls wanna become a model as she is probably one of the most famous import models. Jackie Chan is a for sure.

Is it dead or alive? If it is, I would of included bruce lee.

Hmmmm I probably would of put Jin Au Yeung.

It's an alright list to be quite honest. Some things need to be changed and taken out.

lol its an ok list but not exactly what i had in mind..lol some i dint even nkow existed..lol
but why isnt there Jay Chou he's the one who inspired me to learn Mandarin....ok Jay Chou and Fahrenheit..inspired me..lol

I would have to disagree and agree on Bruce Lee becauses yes he is an inspiration to many but you must remember he's already dead. He will be listed in all years around for being an inspiration, not just in the year 2008.

I do agree Jay Chou should be listed on their because he's very gifted in what he does: instruments he plays, song he writes, and movies he produces. I would marry him if I had the chance

::EDIT::

To Lance: there is a typo at the last page where it says "Whe he made our list?"

You & I! | Follow me on Twitter

Lol that's why I said dead or alive If it included both, then yes, Bruce should be in it. Just wanted clarification haha that's all.

I'd like to agree with Jay Chou too. I'm not a huge fan of Jay Chou, but he's had a pretty big year with Cowboy on the Run and then now with his latest album, I think it's number 1, so I've been told.

Anyways, I'm rating this high and added it to stumble because I'm biased anyways xD

It's a LOVE STORY, baby, just say YES!

Me too. Jay Chou deserves a place for the list. For me, never heard of 'Lee Soo Man'. And I don't agree with Ang Lee for being at the top. In my country, they don't know who is Ang Lee. Jackie Chan would be at the top. And more, I don't know about Jerry Yang.

I think this is a pretty accurate list. Most of the people on there have influenced a lot more then just asian culture, but they've also graced the western scene, which is always a huge breakthrough. I would have put Jet Li a bit higher on the list though! I can't really argue about the list other than that

What about Boa? I thought Boa is more influential than se7en & rain. Boa actually topped charts, because of her dedication & released a "best of' album in Japan.

i think jay chow n fahrenheit

what about Nicholas Teo?
