is anyone going to her taiwan concert? I would want to go but i dont live there. I am not a fan of angela but I think she sounds amazing live. On WQYL, they were trying to pick a "new star" to perform at her concert. And she sang w/ them and she sounds great all the time. And I can't believe de yi won. He wasn't my favorite.
katwatson
Yeah i also want to go... down.gif i can't believe that D e Yi won also, but hopefully he could perform well with Angela. Tomorrow is her concert, i can't wait to hear good reviews about it.

Angela Zhang practices hard to perform a cello solo at her concert

Faced with competition from Ayumi and Rain, Angela Zhang practices hard to perform a cello solo at her concert

Angela Zhang’s concert will be held tomorrow (31st of March) at the Taipei Arena. Faced with competition from Ayumi Hamasaki, who had her concert just days before, and Korean superstar Rain whose concert falls on the same day as hers, Angela has remained calm and confident of her music. She said today that she was only concentrating how to give her audience an enriching concert and would not think of other matters.

At the rehearsal in the afternoon, Angela performed a cello solo for the beginning of “No Pain不痛”, showing off her multi talents. This was the result of nearly a month’s worth of hard work practicing the cello. Angela wanted to perform this item to let her audience feel her hard work and sincerity that she has towards her music. However, she never expected that the cello was such a difficult instrument to play.

She said that the cello was very different from the piano and guitar, and to produce the correct sound entirely depends on using one’s feelings to position one’s fingers at the correct spot and pulling the strings hard.

Angela was praised by her cello teacher for having a natural talent for music. However, to ensure a perfect performance during her concert, Angela practiced whenever she had free time, causing boils to form on her fingers. She said that if she accidentally played the wrong note during tomorrow’s concert, she hoped that everyone would still give her their support.

Also, Angela had to conquer her fear of heights as she would be hung in mid air at a height of that of a six storey building. Although the crew praised her saying that she looked as beautiful as a flying angel, she still could not help but scream.

In response to fans who collected 331 blessings on the fansite, Angela specially taped a thank you video to her fans and posted it at her website. She said that the final rehearsal was the most exciting part of the preparations for the concert. This was because everyone had put in all their effort for the concert and spent a lot of time learning new things.

Earlier, the tendons in Angela’s right leg were slightly inflamed due to her cello practice. Many fans had left messages expressing their concern over her health at fansites. Angela specially asked the fans not to worry. She said that she was in good health now, and her leg was almost completely healed. She also said that she hoped that whether it was dancing, playing the cello or singing while hung in mid air, everything would go on smoothly.

Angela also hoped that fans would count down together with her, go for her concert in their ‘highest’ mood, and sing their favorite songs together with her.

Ah, this is girl is so skinny but she looks healthy though which is good.

Good friends? Ha, I find it really hard to believe that a guy and girl can be really good friends. whistle.gif
One will bound to have feelings for the other. Maybe it's already happened but since both are really good actors they pulled it off really well making no one dig deeper.
I do hope they get together as well but if not they're really close and good friends. clapping.gif

I just have one question: Is he always with her at her concert? What I mean is he seemed to go with her to functions a lot. Or they seemed to be together a lot for being just really good friends.

There are other artistes who are really good friends with each other but they don't spend that much quality time together like Johnny and Angela at least not that I've known so far.

Angela Zhang dresses sexily at concert in a fight against Rain, rumoured boyfriend Johnny Yan sends flowers in support

Angela Zhang dresses sexily at concert in a fight against Rain, rumoured boyfriend Johnny Yan sends flowers in support

Yesterday (31st March) Angela Zhang held her first big scale concert at the Taipei Arena. At the same time, Korean superstar Rain was also having his concert. Not afraid that her concert was any less popular, Angela spared no effort in performing, causing fans to scream continuously.

With fast songs and hot dances that electrified the atmosphere at her concert, the first thing which Angela did on stage was to shout, “Standing here is not Rain, it is Angela Zhang!”

Choosing to have her concert on the same day as Rain, Angela wanted to prove that her popularity was extremely high and could never be affected. Not only did she walk down the stage to close the gap between herself and her fans, she even danced a hot number with male fans on stage, breaking all previous limits. Angela’s image during her concert was sexy, and rumoured boyfriend Johnny Yan sent her flowers to congratulate her.

Johnny Yan said, “It is my special form of encouragement, so I did not write my name. It can be counted to be a code between both of us.” With the encouragement from good friends and fans, Angela’s dream of having a concert at the Taipei Arena was finally realized.


Johnny Yan leaves after being pressed to French kiss Angela Zhang

Unlike her previous celebratory party in Shanghai, Angela Zhang was in a very good mood at last night’s celebratory party. Shaking hands and hugging others, she was enjoying the pride and satisfaction of the end of a good concert. Her good friend Johnny Yan was present initially, but after the two were pressed by others to share a French kiss, Johnny had no choice to leave, leaving Angela alone to face the others.

Despite the rumours encircling them, the two did not avoid each other and magnanimously hugged. When the crew and the media pressed them to French kiss, they looked embarrassed. Later, Angela said that there was nothing that she did not dare to do, and lightly kissing is within her limits.

Using the pen-name Gorilla, Johnny sent two large flower baskets. Angela explained that when she previously filmed kissing scenes with him during the filming of MVP Valentine, she felt that Johnny’s size was huge and had thick lips, and so she came out with this code.

Performing for the first time at the Taipei Arena, Angela expressed that the greatest challenge was being suspended in mid air. The first time she was suspended was during the final rehearsal, and by the time of the actual concert she still had not managed to grasp the technique of doing it and tended to fall over when she landed on the ground. Thus during the actual performance, she was pretty nervous. Angela expressed that after successfully completely this challenge, she wanted to try to play instruments while being suspended in mid air like Stomp.

Her senior Fan Fan praised Angela’s deep V costume which revealed some cleavage, saying that it was very attractive. Angela said that she had hesitated on wearing that costume for a long time because when she tried using the NU BRA for the first time during rehearsals, the NU BRA would drop to her waist every time she changed. However, to let her fans see many different styles and costumes, she decided to go ahead with it.


Angela Zhang holds celebratory party, Johnny Yan gives her a hug

Angela Zhang performed at the Taipei Arena for the first time, and her concert ended successfully last night. In preparation for her concert, the already ‘paper light’ girl lost another 2 kg. Rumoured boyfriend Johnny Yan attended her concert, and Angela’s mother went over to thank him. At the celebratory party, Johnny and Angela shared a hug in front of every one.

At the party, Angela said, “Actually I felt like crying when I started to sing the first song.” This time Angela learnt from her previous experience and before getting drunk at the party, she talked about her feelings on the concert. She said, “During the night of the final rehearsal, there was no one below the stage but I was very nervous. But when I actually stood on stage, I did not feel nervous.” Angela’s nervousness was due to her phobia of heights. Before the performance, she still had not grasped the technique and tended to fall over when she landed on the ground. Now that the concert is over, she can add another successful challenge to her record.

Angela Zhang looked like a Flower Angel, conquered her fear of height for concert

After waiting for 10 years, Angela Zhang finally stood on the stage of Taipei Arena last night, fulfilling her dream of having a concert there since she was 15 years old. As Rain had his concert on the same day, Angela loudly announced, “Standing here at the Taipei Arena is not Rain, it is Angela Zhang!”

Before the concert, Angela went to the restroom 7 times in a row, nervous and worried that the concert would be imperfect. After her senior Fan Fan led her in a prayer, she became calmer but still went to visit the restroom 3 minutes before going on stage.

Wearing a dreamy dress with petals, she descended from mid air sitting in a chair covered with flowers. The huge fan at the side blew the petals towards the audience, and the scent of the flowers induced the fans into the music of Flowers in a Dream 夢裡花.

The theme of the concert was ‘everchanging’, and Angela changed into 10 different costumes, even wearing a tight elastic shellac Coca-cola balloon costume to dance to Safe Colour 保護色 and Mama Mama, showing off the result of hours of dance practice and getting good reviews from fans. However the shellacs from her costume kept dropping because she was too vigorously dancing, causing her to unwittingly expose herself.

When her good ‘sister’ Fan Fan sang a duet If Only 如果的事 with Angela, many fans below the stage were screaming for them to French kiss. Fan Fan joked, “Who asked us to French kiss? Are you all mad? We are both straight!”

For this concert, Angela bore with the pain on her fingers to practice the cello, endured dancing lessons to learn tap dancing, and even conquered her phobia of heights to sing at a height of a six storey building. She also sang a duet Blue Eyes with guest artiste SodaGreen.

The fans repeatedly called for an encore after The Lost Beauty 遺失的美好 , and Angela wore a Sparrow costume made of 50 pairs of jeans to sing Fable 寓言 and Aurora 歐若拉, ending the concert.


Angela Zhang shows off 10 years worth of experience and training

After entering the industry for around 3 years, Angela Zhang’s popularity has risen quickly. Yesterday, she held her concert at the Taipei Arena. Not shivering, not afraid, she presented herself like a calm and steady singing general who had been through many battles. I have always been suspicious how she managed to train up such lung power given her small and thin body frame. Later I understood that this was the result of 10 years of experience from competitions and self training.

Based on her exterior looks, Angela looks just like a character straight out from a comic book. Many people who listen to her songs also feel that she is just like the girl in the book; that girl that would run to the top of the hill to scream into the wind when faced with sadness or helplessness, and is always encouraging herself.

Among Angela’s line up of songs, Encouraging Myself 自我期勉 and Cherishing Hope懷抱希望 were important songs that created the main theme. When she sang the first verse of Flowers in A Dream at the start of the concert, “Even if I lose all my power to love, I will never be afraid..” her exceptional perseverance and will power was evident.

During a live performance, one’s voice is put under tremendous test. In this aspect, without doubt Angela obtained high marks. Almost throughout the whole concert, her pitching was perfect to the extent it made people suspect whether she was lip syncing to her CD. When she sang the high notes in No Pain不痛 , The Sun in My Palm 手心的太阳, Shout 呐喊 , her voice was powerful yet relaxed. Even when singing the quieter song Journey and Invisible Wings 隐形的翅膀 while being suspended in mid air, her voice was steady and powerful.

This concert was virtually a product of Taiwan as there were no foreign resources or crew used. With respect to the scale of the concert, although it was not extremely extravagant, the sound system, styling and visual effects showed sincerity. However, Taiwanese concerts always have a small problem; there is too much gap between the songs especially when the artiste goes off stage to change. Another problem is that the artiste talks too much to relax him/herself, causing the danger of non-response from the audience. These are points which managing companies or agents tend to overlook.

Angela’s singing and dancing gives one the impression that she is able to be the successor of Jolin Tsai or Stephanie Sun. Her tenacity was clearly seen; after she was on stage for awhile, she seemed to be telling herself “it is not the time to cry yet!”, holding out till the last song, The Lost Beauty遺失的美好 . Then, her tears flowed uncontrollably and she was unable to continue singing. Her tenacity, perseverance and unwillingness to show signs of weakness are the embodiment of the unchanging criterion required for a budding singer to achieve success.

Angela broke all limits for this concert. Congrats to her.
Some articles I read said that she purposely wanted her concert the same day as Rain to show her popularity. Is this true or was it an accident that the two were on the same day?

WuZun and Angela Zhang in a new drama

From "Hana-Kimi" and "Bump Off Lover," both WuZun and Angela Zhang have hit popularity. In the new drama, "Princess Little Sister," WuZun and Angela will be involved in a comedy romance, and at the same time other Fahrenheit member, Calvin, will also take part.

The two lead roles, WuZun and Angela, have already missed out on an opportunity to cooperate as Angela was supposed to take part in ""Tokyo Juliet," but because of the conflicting times as she was busy filming "Bump Off Lover," Ariel Lin took over.

This drama will begin filming in May, and the producer Ken says that in this comedy romance, fans will be able to see a different side to WuZun.

During the filming of "Bump Off Lover," Angela had to act 3 different roles, and this affected her emotions offscreen as well, but for this new drama, Angela comments: "I saw the script already, and it is a very cute and light hearted role. The role should be more happier then the previous."

Fahrenheit member Jiro will be finishing his "KO One Family" soon, and after that he will once again take part in "Hana-Kimi II" with Ella and WuZun, which is scheduled at the end of this year.

I've heard from somewhere that China Versions are as good as buying a bootleg. And from previous experiences, bootlegs entail a disc that looks faded, and the booklet has all sorts of spelling mistakes and the pages are sometimes slanted.

So the packaging and booklet quality is just as good as the Taiwan version? That's all I really need to hear. Thanks. thumbsup.gif


I bought the china version of her Aurora album... nothing with the quality of the music but
I can feel that the cd itself is thinner than normal cd... Mayb that's the lower quality you mean?

Angela accused of using her mom to be top. Tears in eyes when talking about Mom's rumour and crying being wronged.
Apr.30, 2007



Source : Sina
translated by minivicki @ http://asianfanatics.net

Yesterday, Angela attended the press conference of "Jiayou! Good Boy" as the singer for their song "Jue Bu (Definitely not)". Angela stepped into the entertainment circle after winning a singing competition and thus she is very understanding of the plight of the competitors and besides watching the boys practice and giving them towers to wipe their sweat when necessary, she also gave huge support to the three Zhang guys in the competition. But when the incident of Mrs Zhang being photographed due to Angela, Angela almost broke down in tears, pleading for the media to not bother her family.

Being criticized as making use of her mother to gain attention


With, Mrs Zhang and Zhang Gao Zhe both having likings for each other and her uncle borrowing money without returning, the gossips around Angela now is really a lot and of different varieties. As one of the top artistes among the Taiwan industry, Angela Zhang's ranking has always been behind Jolin. Jolin made use of her rumours with Jay and her close relationship with Xiao Zhu to keep on topping and getting the headline for all the gossipy magazines. However, since 2007, this trend has been changing. According to a Hong Kong manager, Angela Zhang's worth is now much more than Jolin. "In 2007, Angela has continuously took down 7 to 8 advertisement opportunity and have even filmed advertisements with Jay, Lee Hom, ayumi hamasaki etc. Her price has been inflating a lot as it all depended on amount of exposure." An insider in the entertainment circle revealed that Angela's 100% exposure rate is due to the "high authorities" helping her create news. "Ah Xin, Pan Wei Bo, Yan Xing Shu... The no of rumoured boyfriends of Angela has been increasing. And together with her mom and Zhang Gao Zhe's huge "rumour", even if Angela don't want to be famous, it's also hard!" This insider also analysed that " If it wasn't for news, who will want to accept an interview immediately in response to her mom's rumours? Or talk about the details of her relatives' loan? But the way they created news this time is really great. Not only did it achieve the necessary result, it also didn't damage her sweet appearance and helped her price worth for advertisements etc double up."

Angela cries being wronged with tears almost falling

Regarding the matter, Angela is crying injustice. Having her mom secretly photographed is already very bad and even worse is that people are thinking it's all for creating news. "I know everyone has been very nice to be and you all were probably forced to ask this right? I'm an artiste, so whatever rumours, let me bear the responsibility, don't hurt my friends and family. I think it is wrong of the media to follow them. They are just normal people. Don't intrude into their privacy." When she spoke, there were tears in her eyes. She also expressed that in the 5 years she has debut, she has gain and lost. "What I've gain and lost is about the same. Because of that, you can't compare it". Her tone seemed to be in regret over the lost of her freedom in strolling along the streets and shopping.

Angela also revealed that she has a very pack schedule now. On 19th May, the worldwide brand Scotch Whisky Johnny Walker will be holding a "Johnnie Walker walking towards the world concert" in Shanghai and in this concert, besides Angela, there will also be Wang Lee Hom, Kenji, Eason, the boys from "Jia You! Good boys", as well as many other artistes from china. According to trustworthy sources, Angela's price is now even higher than Wang Lee Hom and Eason. Angela revealed too that she earned 30000 thousand china money last year and is hoping to have a concert at Wu Tai San(a mountain).

I've loved her since MVP Qing Ren, and have followed her career ever since. Her voice is amazing. Her songs are really good. And her performance in Ai Sha 17? Outstanding. The girl has the x factor. I'm really proud that she's surpassed Jolin Tsai, I'm looking forward to her new drama.
