Music critic Tsai Yun-pu notes that the Southeast Asian singers are not as recognizable as their counterparts from North America, who have a hard-rocking, R & B style. The simple and catchy melodies and rhythms of the Southeast Asians sound a lot like those of the locals. Taiwanese listeners quickly identify with these singers and may even forget where they come from.
樂評人葉雲甫分析，東南亞的歌手與創作辨識度並不高，與美加回來有 R＆B 浪潮、洋派作風明顯的 ABC 歌手相較，東南亞音樂人創作中旋律甚於節奏、簡單、朗朗上口等風格與台灣相近，加上語言又沒有隔閡，幾乎很快就得到歌迷認同，甚至有些還讓人忘了他們的來處。
