I've seen him a couple times before, in the Thursday MV and in Janice's Big Brother MV. I've heard some of his other songs too and I think his singing is pretty good. He definitely has some potential!

first time i saw this guy was in the janice mv big brother and i was wondering if he sings or act. then i found out he does! his songs are okay i guess but his voice is pretty good compared to all of those other newcomers that cant really sing that well and needs alot of improvement.

Yesterday Janice and Charles Ying went to a cocktail party/activity, and tried the strawberry flavored cocktail. When Charles finished half the cup, Janice had a painstaking expression on her face, and asked whether she doesn't drink wine. She said, "No, I will drink wine with my friends, but it is the strong liquor. (Have you ever been drunk?) Of course!" She said when she is drunk, she will laugh crazily. Reporters asked if she could be ignorant. She said, "Even if I was, I wouldn't remember it! (Did anyone try to ask for your number then?) Of course! But I will not give them my number, afraid that there will be trouble."

Charles Ying expressed that he likes to drink wine and chat with his friends. He was asked whether he would go meet some girls, he said, "No, I am not going to meet girls, but am going to enjoy the matter of being with my friends."

Yesterday Janice and Charles Ying attended a music concert and Janice was asked what's the requirements for a guy that she'll marry, she laughed and said, "Don't ask these things lah!" She was also asked if she's picking a boyfriend, will she find a guy outside the entertainment circle, she replied, "I will pick someone in the entertainment circle, because we both are doing the same stuff, and will understand the opposite party more. (Not worried that it'll affect your job?) Not worried."

About not attending the Jade Singers for TVB Anniversary Celebration event, Janice and Charles explained, "We had it all planned out with the staff. We actually planned to film a clip then play it then, but we thought it wouldn't be too good. (Afraid of being 'kicked' out?) Not worried because we've already explained everything."
chinwsy

Leon Lai's apprentice who is also this year's newcomer, Charles Ying, will be releasing his EP around mid-November. Charles and good partner Janice recieved great comments from the companies with Janice's high album sales. Charles also hopes that he won't be a too big of a disappointment. Once a designer for Nike, his new album cover look and song booklet was all created by him. Charles' mother was once famous as a singer but it was not because of her that got him in the entertainment circle. He said he does not have the second generation pressure and added, "My mom has taught be alot of skills in singing and how to face the audience."

A newcomer this year, Charles Ying was seen with a girl at a restaurant. He tried to avoid the reporters and the cameras.

Last night, Charles was seen with a girl walking out of a restaurant. When they saw the reporters filming them, they suddenly walked away. Charles was asked whether he is eating dinner with his girlfriend, he said, "No, don't film this lah!" The girl seemed to have a black mood and tried to avoid facing the camera. They left the reporters with many unanswered questions.

Yesterday Janice, Charles Ying, and Niki Chow all attended a function. Recently, Charles was rumored to be dating someone as they were seen coming out of a restaurant together, but Charles only said that that girl was a 'relative'. Yesterday he has been asked by reporters if they were alone together. At first he denied it, but in the end he said it was only them but denied that she was his girlfriend, "I've only went out once, and have broken up before entering the entertainment circle."

As with Janice, she is busy with her new album, "There is two weeks before my album is released, but I still have one more song to record. I am really worried about it."

Janice and Charles Ying's album will be both released on Saturday, and you can say 'double happiness'. Before Janice released her first album, she was just resinging Leon Lai's songs. Her first song that is truly hers was 'Big Brother' which recieved great response in the music billboard and in karaoke places. This time is Janice's first album that is actually hers, spending over months to prepare for this.

As with Charles releasing his first EP along with Janice expressed that he doesn't have that much pressure. He is not nervous about the award ceremonies coming soon and thinks that making music that fans and himself likes is the most important.

Popular newcomer Janice Vidal has offically released her new album and has sold over 20,000 copies so far. To repay the company back, Janice has decided to invite the company to eat Korean food.

Janice and Charles Ying, who has recently released an album, brought along their new albums to a radio interview. When asked whether they have given Leon Lai a copy of the album, Charles said, "He has listened to it and said that I'm not bad! But he told me to talk more and not act so cool. I actually do talk, even about clothes and shoes." Janice replies, "Leon told me not to 『扭音』(nau yum) too much and to know how to control my voice."

When Janice was asked about her album sales, she said, "I'm afraid to ask. If it's too little, I'm afraid I'll be upset." But Janice's album has been selling pretty well, currently over 20,000 copies.

No matter how the album sales are, Janice will still invite the company out for dinner, she said, "It's not about money, it's about happiness. I'll invite them to eat anything they want!" Janice expressed that she has decided to take them to eat Korean food.

Moreover, Janice and Michael Guang will be filming a new cellphone comercial. In the comercial, Janice will be dancing while listening to music.

Janice Vidal and Charles Ying had released their albums together earlier. For luckiness, both of them went to buy a copy of their own album. They attracted a bunch of fans surrounding them and no wonder why both of them said, "I've never signed so many names standing!"

First time releasing an album, Charles said, "It's been a long time since I've went out to the streets. Alot of people told be to buy a copy of my own album for luckiness." As with Janice, she said, "Even though Charles has given me his album, I don't have time to listen to it yet. I just listened to one song now, and it was pretty good."

Seeing the puupy, Janice was extremely excited and hugged the puppy. Charles recieved a pair of red boxers, wishing that his new songs will be popular and 'soak' into people. When talking about Janice and Kenny's rumors, Charles was asked if he had congratulated them. He laughed and said, "I will only congratulate her success on her album. I will not congratulate on rumors!"

Yesterday a bunch of newcomers including Janice, Charles Ying, Ivana Wong, Krusty, and Soler attended a votings activity. The host brings up the rumors of Janice and Kenny, causing Janice to feel helpless. As with Kenny, he is busy in mainland promoting, therefore he couldn't attend.

Afterwards Janice said she will not respond to the rumors, "It doesn't have to do with me, don't ask anymore. (Do you mind being made fun of?) I'm not mad, he just wants to brighten up the mood." Janice joked that he wants to go after Charles but too bad she had miserably eaten a 'lemon'. Charles said, "But you're not my cup of tea." Janice then chased after Charles, causing the scene to be very funny.

The host also made fun of Ivana's voice as mouse sound, making Ivana feel embarassed. Ivana said, "Can you describe it as a little mouse! It sounds better, but alot of people have said I'm like chicken and bird sounds."

Janice's company Amusic will be releasing their special mixed album and in the album has a song by Janice's little sister, Jill.

Charles Ying wants to change his hunchback!
"I used to play basketball a lot so i always have to bend over. Over time I got a hunchback. So it looks bad on stage and is bad for my health. Because hunchback will stop my lungs so my singing won't be as good. So i hope I can change this bad habit next year!"

Janice doesn't know how to read a single Chinese word and Charles Ying often spends New year in Taiwan, so what exactly are their CNY customs? Today is the 'cleaning day' of CNY, so Janice and Charles especially took some time off and helped clean the company's bathrooms!

Don't think of Janice and Charles as spoiled children at home and won't do chores at home. During the interview, they both expressed that they will clean the house, wipe the refrigerators, and living room windows. At one time, playful Janice took the mop and placed it on Charles head as a wig. Charles, who loves neatness, immediately stepped away and chased after Janice with a broom. But even with all these jokes, they still cleaned the company till it's sparkling clean!

Janice's dad is Filipino and her mom is Korean so even though she has a bit of Chinese blood in her, she does not have any New Year decorations or goods in her house. She said, "But I know getting red envelopes is very happy!" When Janice was younger, she has actually went visiting relatives with friends. Other than getting red envelopes, she also got the chance to try all the New Year cakes and sweets. During this New Year, she will be visiting her mom in Korea with her younger sister Jill. She jokes, "I haven't seen my mom for three years already. I am ready for her to be mad at me when I go back because my mom has objected to me being in the showbiz all along. Now that Jill is becoming a singer, she will definately be mad!"

Charles has always loved neatness. Even though he has always followed this day of New Years cleaning, he must to tidy up his house if he sees a mess. He said, "When I was schooling in America, I also cleaned the dorm so I am an expert in this aspect!" For this New Year, Charles will go back to Taiwan to celebrate like always. He expressed that the New Year atmosphere there can't be comapred with Hong Kong's since all stores are closed for 4 days. Charles said, "The best is that we can play with firecrackers and receive red envelopes. So I love to spend New Year in Hong Kong since it's very exciting here!"

Both Charles and Janice expressed that they have prepared red envelopes this year to give to company members. As with first time passing them out, they both think it feels weird passing it out before they are not even married yet.

Has there been any radio interviews of Charles and Janice together? or anymore individual radio interview interviews of them?

Does anyone have all his MVs from his Album if so can you please upload all of them for me thanks.

Just downloaded his Album expected it to be better, only like two of the songs, the 24 one with Janice and the only sad and slow song in his album called "I'm not good". After listening to his radio interview I think he's right about liking to singing slow songs more cause I think he's better at singing those type of songs. The other songs in his album are more upbeat which aren't that good. Only good upbeat song I like was the one with Janice called 24. Hopefully his next album would feature more slow songs that he likes to sing cause he seems to sing better with slow songs and is more into the slow songs.
