Steven's own solo song is featured in Isabella's new album? blink.gif That's insane. Steven is quite popular even after Boy'z's disbandment but due to Mani's rigid controlling mania, Steven is the most unfortunate one of all. I agree, if Steven wasn't that strong solo, he wouldn't have been invited to sing solo, not as the newly reformed Boy'z.

People barely know about Dennis and William, and I'd say anyone who is aware of who Kenny is would know Steven as well. Well, the new Boy'Z CD is actually in production since Steven confirmed it himself, and he took a photo of himself when he was in the recording studio; he said that it'll be out in July. Seriously, if Kenny was able to go solo, so could Steven. Instead, Steven is now being dragged down and behind in the so-called Boy'Z because he isn't a favoured one. dry.gif Hopefully, Steven will just be there to pull Dennis and William up into the market, and he can then take an exit to being a solo artiste after the debut CD of the new Boy'Z. Highly doubt it'd happen, for all we know, Steven could be stuck in that group forever. Steven's solo song should at least be featured in the Boy'Z CD if that was the case. I don't think anyone would be complaining about Steven having a solo song in the CD because he obviously is the senior of the group. Having it in Isabella's CD is just luring Steven's fans to buy her CD. Fans from Steven's forum have already expressed that they will buy Isabella's upcoming CD because of the film and solo song featuring Steven. dry.gif

Anyway, I completed Na Zha and Zi Wei's music video last night. Here's a short explanation. blush.gif

The Legend of Na Zha and Zhi Mei continues to inspire those in love. A true love so forbidden on the pure clouds of Heaven; the love eraser cannot erase what was meant to be, Na Zha and Zhi Mei's passionate love for each other, revived by their hearts' confessions.

Note: In the serial, Na Zha and Zhi Mei had their memories erased but in this music video, it's a happy ending. Both consume the love eraser but regain their memory as Zhi Mei recites their poem together thus remembering each other and happily ever after. sweat.gif

Here's the Youtube Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odRmT3OHrV8

Onto Kenny and Gillian's music video. yeah.gif

I loved the parts of when Zhi Mei was speaking through the song! It felt so heartbreaking. weeping.gif The music and lyrics fitted really well with Zhi Mei's begging of her godfather to not make her eat the love eraser. I like the happy ending instead of how the serial just leaving their relationship out. dry.gif Zhi Mei was able to speak Na Zha's name out later in the serial without even twitching an eyebrow when all that happened between them. Serials usually don't leave it so that the love eraser actually works; there's always a way to cure it in serials, but Zhi Mei and Na Zha were an exception. dry.gif At least your MV fixed that part up! yeah.gif

This is actually make more sence. In the serial if they make Gillian character eat the love eraser why don't they just do the same for charlene character. If the director of that serial follow ur idea, i think it would be even better because i find it kind stuied. Can't wait for your next mv.

Hopefully, this upcoming Boy'z album will be Steven's last one as William enters to replace Steven. I hope the reason why Steven is still part of Boy'z is like you said, to help expose Dennis and William, enough so Steven can finally begin his solo career as well. Hm, perhaps EEG is considering granting Steven a solo career thus the solo song? blink.gif I mean, solo songs are such a huge deal for groups and pairs that in order for solos to be recorded, there's always a catch to it. 1.gif

Perhaps Steven will pair up with Isabella after the second disbandment of Boy'z and Kenny will return next to Gillian's side as Twins also split up as well in the near future? That's why EEG is planning a lot of Steven+Isabella and Kenny+Gillian interactions. I mean, it was such a surprise when EEG finally allowed KG to perform their duet live and now Steven's solo is featured into Isabella's album. sweat.gif

Twins fans are fine with Gillian and Sa having their own solos but as long as they're under the label Twins right? So why if Gillian diverged into releasing her own solo album but can still unite with Sa, who would be concentrating solely in films, later on? That's still considering being Twins, just like Shinhwa and F4. 1.gif

Yeah, there were limited scenes of Na Zha and Zhi Mei together. I love Zhi Mei's plea.

Well, I believe that the serial didn't dwell upon the relationship between Na Zha and Zhi Mei is because their cute pair would have eventually stolen the spotlight from the Monkey King and Zhi Lan's love. I mean, this was supposedly the Monkey King's story right? whistle.gif I remember when it was first released, the only pair fans were cheering and anticipating on was Na Zha and Zhi Mei.

Wouldn't Na Zha and Zhi Mei have to produce their own serial as well? loool.gif

Yeah, then after Steven leaves to begin his solo career, William and Dennis can just change the group name and become a male duo of EEG. EEG needs some more male solo artistes anyway; Kenny's practically the only male artiste of EEG who is truly active at the moment. Nic is on his break from music, Deep hasn't recovered from his big fall of the drug incident, and Don's career pretty much only works when paired with Mandy. Perhaps EEG does realize that there is still a certain amount of demand for Steven, like his solo invitation earlier. They may consider granting him a solo career opportunity because they see that some sponsorships don't want all three members of Boy'Z there but just Steven. No kidding; solo songs usually are signs for groups. Remember how Kenny's 'Red Eye Coliseum' was brought into the picture, and eventually he went solo? Hopefully, Steven's solo will be catchy enough to put an impact on EEG's decisions.

I hope it's true that Steven+Isabella and Kenny+Gillian will soon become the pairings of EEG. Steven and Isabella seem like a better pair than Kenny and Isabella anyways; the age gap is smaller. Steven's only three to four years older than Isabella while Kenny's older by seven years; age differences mean a lot to me. As much as Gillian's facial features can pass her of being younger than Steven, she's still older than him; therefore, I can't imagine SG going on. The KG interactions are truly surprises and bonuses; I didn't even expect KG to have anything to do with each other after Kenny went solo. Steven and Isabella is a pairing that I haven't noticed before since it had been Boy'Z+Isabella or just Kenny+Isabella during functions that Twins didn't attend. Even though there are so many plans of Steven+Isabella, Isabella hasn't cut her strings with Kenny yet. dry.gif Isabella had a duet with Kenny recently, but she has two films together with Steven: the one attached with her CD and another official film that is just about completed. It actually seems like Isabella's rotating back and forth with Kenny and Steven rather than it switching to Kenny+Gillian and Steven + Isabella. Let's just hope it's the usual EG being slow for their progress with KG like they do for everything else about Gillian. rolleyes.gif I really hope that Gillian and Kenny do reunite as an official pairing of EEG!! yeah.gif I'd say KG should get another duet together that's actually promoted to promote their pairing again, and perhaps 'Little Sparks' should be put back into production. rolleyes.gif

Yeah, I wonder how those fans would react if Twins never officially 'split' but really do do separate things all the way through and reunite once in a while? lmao.gif They can't penalize anyone for anything since Twins didn't split, but Gillian is just going to release her own solo album, which allows her to compete for the female singer award, and Charlene will just take further steps in acting as she's always been doing. Then once in a while, we'll have a Twins song and a Twins film. innocent.gif Obviously there's no point in always sticking together if they're being limited by each other; a partial splitting is almost definitely a good thing. We know that Gillian has always done better singing solo because she only has to care for herself on-stage when she's alone while Charlene's always been a freelance actress anyway.

Their story felt so incomplete; the feeling was simply like, 'It's not done yet!'. I still feel that Monkey King and Zhi Lan's love story was a little weird because Monkey King is supposed to be a monk, yet at the end of the serial he said he wanted to marry Zhi Lan? blink.gif I also don't see how Zhi Lan appearedinfront of the Monkey King near the end because she was already supposed to be dead. She was dead from the moment she exploded her shield inside the stomach of that demon, so logically speaking she couldn't have appeared to say all that stuff to the Monkey King and use magic to make a replica of herself before she 'officially' died off? I guess that's just the scriptwriter's way of trying to make the story between the Monkey King and Zhi Lan more touching by letting Zhi Lan speak her last words to the Monkey King in person.

I didn't realize this MV features Jimmy and Gillian until I remember Na Zha is close to the Vietnamese name. Nice job on the MV, better ending than the actual serial. I didn't understand why they even put their love story into the plot since it didn't last or make an impact on the serial. I guess the director didn't want their love story to be 'true love' since he wiped their memories and they never regained it, like other couples usually do. There was limited scenes between them, but none the less I still love JG.

Wouldn't it be nice if that does happen? Wishful thinking though, EEG will never do something that fans will actually like. We're still waiting for KG's first live performance together if it even airs on TV.

Yeah, I thought their love story was redundant to the series and when I was watching the show, i thought they were going to somehow return their memories or fall in love again and then the immortals can't do anything about it n_tt2.gif but the director spoiled everything. =;= But stil they were very cute together. hug.gif

Hey, thank you for the image hug.gif 0_o the title of the movie is making my imagination wild about twins being theives in the movie, maybe they aren't but then it was just a imagination.

(0_O!) Kenny is the guest star of their concert? I was thinking there might be possiblities of Kenny & Gillian singing a duet together since EEG made Kenny the guest star. whistle.gif I so hope they do, so i can watch a video of them singing together since there aren't much KG interaction laugh.gif

Wow, it really seems like 'Around the world with 80 dollars' isn't selling too well in Taiwan and Yesasia as compared with their first Mandarin album, Trainee Cupid. It was top for the first week with about 14% of the total album sells (compared to their first album with 31.25% of total sells in the first week - http://www.5music.com.tw/CDTop.asp?top=1&p...200512&sclass=) but during the second week, it has dropped down to the 10th position with only 1.3% of total sells: http://www.5music.com.tw/CDTop.asp?top=1

With Yesasia, it's occupying the 39th position of the top sellers chart: http://global.yesasia.com/b5/TopSellers.as...-all/did-83/p=2
Usually, when Twins release an album, it's in the top ten position for the first couple of weeks.

Also, people from HK said that there doesn't seem to be any posters for their new album in CD shops.........

(information from http://www.twinsforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1542 )

I know quite a lot of people are waiting for a second version of the album to be released before purchasing it. Can this be the reason?

That is one of the reason why the selling is getting so low. All twins, Gillian and charlene fans know eeg going to make a 2nd or even a 3th version of the CD. And also there aren't many good songs on the CD and two repeat songs.

Yeah, EEG doesn't have too many great artists in general actually so that's probably why EEG may consider disbanding Boy'z and Twins altogether to create two new artists, a male and female to help their business in the music industry. EEG is probably taking the short cut path and promoting two artists that have already been exposed to the ET industry but not a solo music career yet. When Steven goes solo, his music genre will probably be different from Kenny's and sell a different direction. I'm curious as to which genre Gillian will fall into. blush.gif

I guess, Isabella is still clinging onto Kenny in the music industry is because her popularity and acceptance as a singer is still at stake, she needs Kenny fans to help support her but ironically, Isabella has been creating negative tension against her for always leeching off Kenny. dry.gif Plus Kenny is the only available male candidate anyway and his true partner, Gillian, hasn't made an entrance so in the meantime, Isabella has to depend on Kenny for exposure in the music industry while leaning on Steven for exposure in the acting industry.

Before Mani/EEG even begins to make major changes to their artists and company, they have a checklist that needs to be fulfilled first. rolleyes.gif

1. Isabella is an extremely important artist to Mani/EEG, they have to make sure that Isabella can survive in both industries before allowing her to explore by herself without Kenny or Steven so Kenny and Steven sort of works as Isabella's Twin lol.
2. Sa needs to establish herself a solid home in the acting industry before and ahead of Gillian so that Twins' disbandment won't affect her acting career.

Perhaps then, the real game will begin. 1.gif

Kenny and Gillian may have plenty of duets and collaborations in the future, we just have to be patient but let's not get our hopes too high either, EEG/Mani loves to mislead fans and crush their hope especially Gillian fans. n_thumbdown.gif

A temporary split between Twins is fine, they just have to explain that personally to the fans and media but once that announcement is over, fans will be quite relieved since both Twins aren't splitting, they're just basically doing their own solo projects for the time being but will reunite occasionally for a Twins album/film. By then, each fanbase can't compare nor complain because both Twins are concentrating in a completely different industry but let's see if the promotions are balanced. rolleyes.gif

Me too lol. hug.gif I kept waiting and waiting but nothing bloomed between Na Zha and Zhi Mei anymore. down.gif I thought the outer-space creature was the most hilarious and ridiculous thing ever, an extremely fake computer animated 3D shape that didn't have much coordination either whahahah! loool.gif Deaths are supposed to be memorable, Zhi Lan's was horribly funny, she basically was trapped and exploded in the stomach of that demon. wacko.gif Well, if the Monkey King who is a monk actually fell in love again as a Monkey, Zhi Lan's goddess magical ghost thing that returned just to say goodbye to the Monkey King isn't too much of a surprise. whistle.gif Everything was so twisted in this version.

I didn't realize this MV features Jimmy and Gillian until I remember Na Zha is close to the Vietnamese name. Nice job on the MV, better ending than the actual serial. I didn't understand why they even put their love story into the plot since it didn't last or make an impact on the serial. I guess the director didn't want their love story to be 'true love' since he wiped their memories and they never regained it, like other couples usually do. There was limited scenes between them, but none the less I still love JG.
Even though Na Zha and Zhi Mei's love story wasn't such a huge impact on the overall serial but their story was refreshing and new, an escape from the overly comedic elements of the Monkey King and his crew. Out from all of the forbidden love stories featured in the Monkey King serials, Na Zha and Zhi Mei's love story ranks one of the highest despite such short duration in establishing their love relationship.

Wow, it really seems like 'Around the world with 80 dollars' isn't selling too well in Taiwan and Yesasia as compared with their first Mandarin album, Trainee Cupid. It was top for the first week with about 14% of the total album sells (compared to their first album with 31.25% of total sells in the first week - http://www.5music.com.tw/CDTop.asp?top=1&a...12&sclass=) but during the second week, it has dropped down to the 10th position with only 1.3% of total sells: http://www.5music.com.tw/CDTop.asp?top=1

With Yesasia, it's occupying the 39th position of the top sellers chart: http://global.yesasia.com/b5/TopSellers.as...-all/did-83/p=2
Usually, when Twins release an album, it's in the top ten position for the first couple of weeks.

Also, people from HK said that there doesn't seem to be any posters for their new album in CD shops.........

(information from http://www.twinsforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1542 )

I know quite a lot of people are waiting for a second version of the album to be released before purchasing it. Can this be the reason?
But this album has better sales results than Trainee Cupid? blink.gif Trainee Cupid sold 800,000 copies whereas Around the World with 80 Dollars has already sold 1 million copies. Or are the numbers inaccurate or exaggerated? I guess, the majority of sales are from Mainland because I know that I order everything from Yesasia and I'm waiting on my second version. 1.gif Plus, songs in this album aren't too flattering; let's see, the only songs that highlight this album are the two ballads, Around the World with 80 Dollars, and Gillian's solo. whistle.gif

Yeah, EEG doesn't have too many great artists in general actually so that's probably why EEG may consider disbanding Boy'z and Twins altogether to create two new artists, a male and female to help their business in the music industry.

When Steven goes solo, his music genre will probably be different from Kenny's and sell a different direction. I'm curious as to which genre Gillian will fall into. blush.gif

I guess, Isabella is still clinging onto Kenny in the music industry is because her popularity and acceptance as a singer is still at stake, she needs Kenny fans to help support her but ironically, Isabella has been creating negative tension against her for always leeching off Kenny. dry.gif Plus Kenny is the only available male candidate anyway and his true partner, Gillian, hasn't made an entrance so in the meantime, Isabella has to depend on Kenny for exposure in the music industry while leaning on Steven for exposure in the acting industry.

Before Mani/EEG even begins to make major changes to their artists and company, they have a checklist that needs to be fulfilled first. rolleyes.gif

1. Isabella is an extremely important artist to Mani/EEG, they have to make sure that Isabella can survive in both industries before allowing her to explore by herself without Kenny or Steven so Kenny and Steven sort of works as Isabella's Twin lol.
2. Sa needs to establish herself a solid home in the acting industry before and ahead of Gillian so that Twins' disbandment won't affect her acting career.

Perhaps then, the real game will begin. 1.gif

Kenny and Gillian may have plenty of duets and collaborations in the future, we just have to be patient but let's not get our hopes too high either, EEG/Mani loves to mislead fans and crush their hope especially Gillian fans. n_thumbdown.gif

A temporary split between Twins is fine, they just have to explain that personally to the fans and media but once that announcement is over, fans will be quite relieved since both Twins aren't splitting, they're just basically doing their own solo projects for the time being but will reunite occasionally for a Twins album/film. By then, each fanbase can't compare nor complain because both Twins are concentrating in a completely different industry but let's see if the promotions are balanced. rolleyes.gif


I think Gillian will song the same genre as Joey. That's the type of singing that can release her potential in the music industry. Since Isabella get all these negatine tension aginst her eeg/mani should just replace her with other male artists like Deep for sometime then pair her with Kenny again. There's no way Isabella can survive in both industries, she can either concentrate on singing more or vice verse. Inorder for charlene to establish herself in the acting industry, she need to take different role for a change.

Yeah, splitting up the bands is an easy way around for EEG since they don't have to work from scratch with those members. Solo artistes can simply strive for things further than what groups can do. Twins have been a great exception in most cases, but they still can't get female singer awards and other solo artiste awards. Just having Joey isn't going to help them enough since she's just going to be criticized like crazy about how she's always getting the award even when she deserves it, and it's going to take a bit before Vincy makes her way up there; whereas, Gillian and Charlene are still tied down from getting those because of Twins. Why hold Gillian, Charlene, and Steven back when they can obviously spread their wings and fly on separately? Steven may like to stick near some faster and more upbeat songs since he's been known for his rapping even back in Boy'Z, but then Steven does sound quite nice in ballads as well such as 'Skip Grade Student'. For the rare moments, Steven was actually leading in a ballad. blink.gif But if Steven goes solo, ballads wouldn't really become his main thing since it's more or less reserved for Kenny. As for Gillian, I actually hope that she doesn't fall into a specific genre. We know that she has a quite versatile voice and is capable of many different genres, so we wouldn't want to limit her on her genre. But perhaps Gillian will need to decide on something specific as she makes her debut so her image sticks around while she can go on exploring what she can do after she establishes herself as a singer. I wonder what Gillian's image will be if she does go solo. I'm more than sure that Gillian wouldn't be sticking around to be wearing school uniforms nor be dwelling around of being youthful. rolleyes.gif

I suppose that may be that case since EEG seems to be eager of helping Isabella survive in both industries. EEG's plan with Kenny+Isabella isn't working too well, I agree. There's only about a small portion who actually like this pairing, and the majority is just out being negative of how Isabella's always sticking around Kenny. wacko.gif I find that for duets, Deep is a much better candidate with Isabella rather than Kenny. Deep's and Isabella's voices actually synchronize quite well, unlike the Kenny+Isabella's. smilie.GIF I guess for physical pairings, Kenny is the only guy around. Yes, Isabella will just be hanging onto Kenny and Steven for the moment for her stability in the two industries. As for Kenny, Isabella will have to do for now, but wait until Gillian makes her entrance. He'll finally have his original partner back. shifty.gif

No kidding, EEG is simply unpredictable. dry.gif We never know their next move, nor do we understand their moves when we know about it. wacko.gif I just hope we're somewhat close to what they're planning to do with Gillian and Steven. I do hope hard for the Kenny+Gillian pairing to make a comeback, and more collaborations and duets between them to come. Kenny and Gillian should collaborate on another duet, and have it plugged before the album comes out along with a decent amount of promotion, like live performances during shows and functions, and it'd have way better results unlike their last duet, which was plugged a few months after the album was released, along with one live performance which happened way long after the song fell from the charts due to the lack of promotion. dry.gif

Yes, a temporary split wouldn't be bad in any aspect. It would chill the fans because they aren't officially splitting, and solo projects just allow them to improve more than if they were always together. Gillian can just merge more into singing while Charlene works further with her acting. Just watch the amount of support become even more distinct than it is now, and by then, there might not even be such a big fuss about it if the official split came along. The promotions? Well, Charlene will probably be pushed to extreme with promotions, opportunities, and chances with her acting while Gillian's promotions will process slowly, lagging behind Charlene as an official rule, but her career will be established due to her own power as she's been doing for years as long as EEG gives her the basic promotions as in letting her sing in public and release an album. innocent.gif

Gillian has as much potential as Joey but Gillian's obligation to the simplified songs of Twins are what has been stalling Gillian.

As for Sa, that's why EEG permitted her to accept a similar suspense/horror role to Gillian's previous hits like Beyond Our Ken and 49 Days. rolleyes.gif EEG just loves to duplicate whatever that has gained success, so original huh? rolleyes.gif whistle.gif

Not to be mean but comedy isn't such a simple portrayal. The majority of today's comedic films have done nothing but killed the meaning of comedy. Stephen Chow is the best, King of Comedy but even his most recent films have been disappointing.

It'd be great if Gillian can do every genre; I especially anticipate on her singing an english song! yeah.gif With Gillian's vocals, I don't think she does have settle for an album with all ballads but a one or two fast songs as Kenny's album usually consists of. After some good hard training, Gillian's vocals will definitely mature to be something more what she's got right now. Her debut album has to be something striking and challenging in order to show people that she is talented and beautiful at the same time, despite there will still be criticisms. Her cantonese self-produced ballad will be the start for her, so let's hope it's going to be a good production to show that Gillian is not only beautiful, but a talented artiste who can sing and produce.

Yeah, EEG's gotta think twice of the things they do. 'Conscience Discovery' was a loss right there because it had the potential to compete for a duet award, but due to those satisfactory results, it doesn't quite stand a chance with Alex and Stephy's 'Very Love' at all. Alex and Stephy's duet was promoted a lot, live performances and their film together to promote it. EEG should take a look into that. rolleyes.gif

I just read the news, and it said that EEG is planning for a new female duo to come out sometime this year. Doesn't that really trigger what we've been talking about? blink.gif See, if Twins were still going on in the race, EEG wouldn't be starting up another female duo, would they? unsure.gif Rarely do record companies have more than one group under their management unless the two groups are female and male, like with Twins and Boy'Z. EEG wouldn't even need another female duo with Twins under their management. But the whole scenery would be different if Twins were going to step down and split into solo artistes because then there would be a reason for EEG to set up another female group to run for the group award. EEG probably just wants to prove that they can make another legend happen with a female duo after Twins. whistle.gif Anyway, EEG is at it again with their 'originality'. The two members consist of a Cecilia Cheung lookalike and a Gigi Lai lookalike. sweat.gif It again proves the point of how Kenny is the guy for every female in EEG; he just mentioned on the news that they sang a duet with him earlier. Hey, where's my KG duet/collaboration? dry.gif

Gillian does have potential, but she just has to grasp onto some challenging songs to jump out of her limits. smile.gif

i've just watched some ET news on TV and there was this Twins attending something to promote something (i told u my chinese is bad) and fans were called on stage to scribble on the enlarged photos of gill and sa (individual close up shots) and they were suppose to rub off the stains afterwards but gill's would not come off no matter how hard they rubbed whereas charlene's was squeeky clean.then twins explained that there were errors: the fans who drew on gill's photo used permanent ink instead of the white board marker ink they were supposed to use... poor gill! she looked quite dissapointed.

stupid fans! why would they use permanent marker when they were told to use white board markers? i hate them! (sorry, maybe they didn't do it on purpose)

is the Genting that you were saying, in Malaysia?

That's what I thought too! But I was reading in a HK discussion forum that EEG likes to exaggerate their figures?

I dunno, I just find it a bit weird how only 800,000 copies of 'Trainee Cupid' was sold last year whilst a million copies of 'Around the world with 80 dollars' has already been sold in 2-3 weeks? and the sales in Taiwan and on Yesasia aren't as good as it was for 'Trainee Cupid'?

stupid fans! why would they use permanent marker when they were told to use white board markers? i hate them! (sorry, maybe they didn't do it on purpose)

is the Genting that you were saying, in Malaysia?


what's wrong with those fans that is the second time, the first was with a charlene fans say "i don't like you, i only like ah sa" and now this.where does this event take place?

Yes Genting is in Malaysia.

here is some info on the 2nd version of "Aruond the world with eighty dollar"

Yeah, EEG's gotta think twice of the things they do. 'Conscience Discovery' was a loss right there because it had the potential to compete for a duet award, but due to those satisfactory results, it doesn't quite stand a chance with Alex and Stephy's 'Very Love' at all. Alex and Stephy's duet was promoted a lot, live performances and their film together to promote it. EEG should take a look into that. rolleyes.gif

I just read the news, and it said that EEG is planning for a new female duo to come out sometime this year. Doesn't that really trigger what we've been talking about? blink.gif See, if Twins were still going on in the race, EEG wouldn't be starting up another female duo, would they? unsure.gif Rarely do record companies have more than one group under their management unless the two groups are female and male, like with Twins and Boy'Z. EEG wouldn't even need another female duo with Twins under their management. But the whole scenery would be different if Twins were going to step down and split into solo artistes because then there would be a reason for EEG to set up another female group to run for the group award. EEG probably just wants to prove that they can make another legend happen with a female duo after Twins. whistle.gif Anyway, EEG is at it again with their 'originality'. The two members consist of a Cecilia Cheung lookalike and a Gigi Lai lookalike. sweat.gif It again proves the point of how Kenny is the guy for every female in EEG; he just mentioned on the news that they sang a duet with him earlier. Hey, where's my KG duet/collaboration? dry.gif


I was hoping there'd be a storyline to it if they made it that specific for the filming to take place there, perhaps even something continuing on from 'I Really Want To Love Him', but I guess not. down.gif
And Very Love wasn't even that great of a song either in comparison to the earlier duets of Alex and Stephy; Conscious Discovery may have successfully defeated Very Love and other duets as well if granted the appropriate promotions. dry.gif

True. EEG wouldn't even think about forming a new Twins under a different label if EEG wasn't planning on making major alterations to the original Twins. whistle.gif Having two sets of Twins would directly be suicide, one pair or the other will have to leave and most likely, it would Gillian and Sa if EEG wants this new pair to work. EEG just loves to duplicate whoever is successful out there. EEG should do a star search for some hot male artists to feature into films, HK can surely thank them for that. sweat.gif Well, EEG is pretty bold by having the new duo and Kenny collaborate when Kenny's voice is commonly suitable for certain voices only. blink.gif

Hm, EEG and their plans are wacko.gif. Hopefully, Gillian will be safe from their usual cruel tactics. down.gif

Around the World with 80 Dollars hasn't been the most promising album with everything. I was really anticipating on another final high quality music video for this ballad as well since there are technically only two ballads in the album but like always, we're disappointed. If the crew already slacked off in this music video, Gillian's solo music video may not even exist and even if it did for Karaoke purposes, just the same old EEG cheap stuff of pasting clips here and there of Twins on tour/promotions. Seems like EEG is really neglecting to invest in Twins further. blink.gif

Were the markers provided for those fans? Man, someone did purposely screw things up for Gillian. n_thumbdown.gif Uh, duh! I'm pretty sure those fans were old enough to read the labels and distinctly tell the difference between permanent markers and erasable markers. rolleyes.gif And if it was the crew that provided those markers, someone must have sneaked some permanent markers just for Gillian because surely, Sa didn't get any permanent marks on her face. rolleyes.gif Seems like those dumb fans are on a roll! I guess, they must be pretty proud of themselves now for making Gillian feel miserably humiliated. Yeah, and that's what they call supporting both Twins huh? rolleyes.gif For some reason, the ordeal of supporting both Twins isn't ruined by Gillian fans but instead, those Sa fans and they officially let Gillian personally know too that they only support Sa and not Gillian. Boy, what a backfired ideal. whistle.gif

Yeah, Genting is in Malaysia, Twins' next concert stop.

Hm, I'm curious, if the crew did provide those markers, why in heck would they have two sets of erasable and permanent markers? dry.gif

That's what I thought too! But I was reading in a HK discussion forum that EEG likes to exaggerate their figures? At first I just thought that they were saying that because they dislike EEG, but now I'm not so sure. I dunno, I just find it a bit weird how only 800,000 copies of 'Trainee Cupid' was sold last year whilst a million copies of 'Around the world with 80 dollars' has already been sold in 2-3 weeks? and the sales in Taiwan and on Yesasia aren't as good as it was for 'Trainee Cupid'?
Yeah, me too. When the news came out that Twins had already sold 1 million copies, it was sort of a surprise. blink.gif Just from observing, the Mandarin market is highly competitive and fast paced, people seem to have moved on right along and aren't as interested in Twins as last year, their first Mandarin album. Could that be why EEG hasn't been investing in this album like they should due to the results? The World Tour is just something EEG wants to milk more money while the iron is still hot because if EEG had to exaggerate the sales, this album perhaps didn't meet EEG's expectations and could likely be Twins' last Mandarin album. unsure.gif Hypothetically, that is.

Yup, in this 2004 interview with Nnadia and Amigo, Gillian said she didn't like something about Charlene was because since Gill likes to eat and Charlene likes to eat in front of her when Gillian wants to lose weight, so whenever Gill see something that she likes when Char is eatting, she will always eat first then lose weight later.

Exactly. No company would want two groups that are so similar in format to be out at the same time unless there are going to be big changes.

I agree about the duet between Kenny and this group. It's a bit risky there because of Kenny's type of voice, but I guess that's what happens when he's the only guy around who's available. whistle.gif I hope the three voices don't sound that out of place, and I suppose the duet of Isabella and Kenny will be going towards Isabella's album since Kenny has this duet with him?

I watched the MV for 'You Are The Bravest', and I am disappointed as well. There is no storyline; it showed Twins sitting, standing, and singing.

Really? Aww that is so unfair to Gillian! How come they can't go close up on her? Ha..EEG is never that nice to Gillian (only when Char is not there). So when it was Gill singing it showed Char? What's up with that? Why won't they ever be fair with Gillian? Yeah I know life isn't fair, but it's gonna be fair when they lose some $$$$.

This is not even the first time they make more than one version for certain albums. If some fans still would buy version after version, fall into eeg money trap. They sure have waste alot of money. Since there are only two mv on the second version, i think there will be a third version of the album with these other two mv or more.

I just watched the video. You're right on target. The music video was quite nicely done though, the color was light and breezy, perfect climate but the scenes were so blink.gif. Gillian's scenes were so limited. I love the song but the music video ruined it for me. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the short Gillian scenes though.

Gillian looks great from the side and full face view. infatuated.gif The candid flashbacks and behind the scenes were really nice; their fainted presence made the music video extra special.

I really don't understand EEG at all.

Yeah, perhaps after all these years, EEG decides to grant every fan's wish, the World Tour, as a final fulfillment before Twins elevate into the next level of entertainment, solo that is? blink.gif I mean, why all of a sudden, a world tour? At the brink of breakup too accordingly to the previous pieces of news. Yeah, Twins have released two Mandarin albums already which does logically give them more room and fans to perform live worldwide for but everything just seems fishy.

I'm over the incident now. I was quite upset in the beginning but now, like you've said, it was comforting to hear many many fans shout Gillian's name in support.

Gill#1Fan Here's the "You're the Bravest" music video on YT incase you can't download it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leAO30zesFU
I'm going to erase it after you view it; I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of people uploading this video later on anyway. hug.gif

Here's another clearer version of Gillian singing I Really Want to Love Him. Both Twins sound really nice. Gillian was singing with a lot of energy so that the roaring crowd can hear lol. wub.gif I'm so proud, Gillian hit every high and standard note beautifully. This clip has Gillian singing the chorus twice. 1.gif So lovely I may add. Sa had a bit of struggle in her high notes; Gillian was sensational. Hm, after listening to this song so many times now, I've noticed, the reason why Sa delivered her last chorus using the nearly cracking voice tone is because Sa will run out of breath if she sang the lyrics altogether like Gillian's chorus. That is the most emotional part of the song so a lot of energy is needed to portray the emotions, with more emotions, Sa needs to take a breathing break in between the lyrics without the risk of cracking. Gillian has a better control of her respiration, Gillian's gulps of breath aren't as audible and Gillian can sing for a while before taking deep visible breaths. Gillian's live performance is so much more emotional and powerful than the CD version. clapping.gif

Aww...this is such a sweet MV!! Now I want to rewatch the serial!! lmao.gif Brings back memories. I was pretty disappointed too when they didn't revive the love between Jimmy and Gillian. I was thinking it's probably because the love story between Gillian and Jimmy is too popular and the director doesn't want that to cover up the "main" love story of Dicky and Charlene....but it's already written before getting film, that can't happen laugh.gif

I was just watching this clip. Where the guy gave his kiss to Gillian.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ReUyw1Guvv0

The guy look so cute sitting there waiting for instructions..aww only if they had put that scene in, instead of Charlene crying scene. When they was showing that part what did the arrow say? Cause when Gillian and the guy was waiting there was arrows writing something. Could someone translate that? Also the part where Gillian was eatting the ice-cream Charlene used was so cute. She blew the "candle" out. Lol


The guy is so cute..lolx...I'm still a little disappointed that they didn't put this scene it. Gillian already had so much "false" on-screen kisses, so it's no difference. It's just going to make the fans restless and when Gillian really does a kiss scene, we would probably think that it's another false alarm because of the continuous disappointments...not good at all... dry.gif

i've just watched some ET news on TV and there was this Twins attending something to promote something (i told u my chinese is bad) and fans were called on stage to scribble on the enlarged photos of gill and sa (individual close up shots) and they were suppose to rub off the stains afterwards but gill's would not come off no matter how hard they rubbed whereas charlene's was squeeky clean.then twins explained that there were errors: the fans who drew on gill's photo used permanent ink instead of the white board marker ink they were supposed to use... poor gill! she looked quite dissapointed.

stupid fans! why would they use permanent marker when they were told to use white board markers? i hate them! (sorry, maybe they didn't do it on purpose)

is the Genting that you were saying, in Malaysia?


So sad...I can't believe how these fans are getting...so out of control but of course, only if it's planned by these particular fans.. innocent.gif But even if it's the companies fault for having two types of markers, wouldn't there be a possibility that one of the persons that drew on Charlene's picture would have picked an permanent marker.... cluebat.gif I kind of find it a little supsicious unsure.gif

Exactly. No company would want two groups that are so similar in format to be out at the same time unless there are going to be big changes. EEG would be plain dumb if the pair they want to work is Gillian and Charlene because there'd be no point in establishing a new group; they obviously wouldn't want Gillian and Charlene to fade, Gillian for financial reasons, and Charlene, we obviously know why. whistle.gif The reasonable explaination is Gillian and Charlene going off into solo careers. It may be that EEG tries to build up this group with Gladys Fung and Kathy Yuen during this year while Twins bring the group award home once more. As EEG doesn't have to lose the group award, Gillian and Charlene will be free to go off to something more in their career; well, that is if EEG is able to establish a brand new female duo that is successful, but I suppose if they made Twins so popular, then they should have the power to do it again. I agree about the duet between Kenny and this group. It's a bit risky there because of Kenny's type of voice, but I guess that's what happens when he's the only guy around who's available. whistle.gif I hope the three voices don't sound that out of place, and I suppose the duet of Isabella and Kenny will be going towards Isabella's album since Kenny has this duet with him? Or will this duet belong with the new duo? Since they probably need the song more than Kenny does.


"Remakes" are usually not as popular as the orignal ones, so I wonder if this new group will be well accepted. Unless they are better than Twins, it's unlikely that they would be well accepted when the audiences are starting to look for talents more than just pretty faces....

There's like so much hints thought that Twins are nearing their time and would be splitting soon. It's not really up to the fans anymore to determine as it seemed like EEG would definitely split Twins up sometime nearing...I just hope that EEG would realize how much Gillian could help them and give her decent promotion!!

I watched the MV for 'You Are The Bravest', and I am disappointed as well. There is no storyline; it showed Twins sitting, standing, and singing. They also used a few clips from when they were working in the MV as well. Another thing that was disappointing as usual was the camera angles and the screentime. During Charlene's solo verses, the scenes would mostly focus on her with close up shots to her, etc. <--- Reasonable. During Gillian's solo verses, the scenes will still focus on Charlene up close with Gillian sitting in the back singing with mostly far shots and limited close up shots. <--- Unreasonable. dry.gif Does 'You Are The Bravest' actually illustrate a friendship? I thought it illustrated a romance? blink.gif From how the MV was filmed, it seemed like it was talking about friends, and it probably is. Gillian's eyes sent such a depressing message; her facial expressions were heartbreaking. weeping.gif Take a look at the MV for Gillian's performance, but you just have to strain a bit to look at her sitting in the back, but it's noticeable. EEG's been slacking off on their investments in Twins ever since the starting of this year. There aren't any high quality MVs anymore, and it does seem like they didn't promote this second mandarin album much either.


I quite like the beginning "pictures" or scenes (?) and the color but yea, the screentime is really hard to ignore.... dry.gif I love Gillian's pained expressions too and even though, there's limited close up scenes and mostly far shots (can't even see her hair! dry.gif because of Charlene's head) the expressions are so easily detected but what I don't get is how Charlene looked like she was smiling mildly when Gillian had such heartbreaking expressions unsure.gif Charlene seemed like she was a high school girl in her own fantasy world, being in love... blink.gif Was the song supposed to be like Charlene's narration or Gillian's...cause I find it really weird or am I the only one interpreting her expressions wrongly wacko.gif

I just watched the video. You're right on target. The music video was quite nicely done though, the color was light and breezy, perfect climate but the scenes were so blink.gif. Gillian's scenes were so limited. I love the song but the music video ruined it for me. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the short Gillian scenes though. Gillian was absolutely stunning, her voice and priceless facial expressions definitely conveyed the heartbreaking emotions so well. My heart was tugged by Gillian's sorrowful voice and beauty especially when so many horrible things have been happening to Gillian, I felt even worse watching her sad emotions flow out of the screen. down.gif Gillian would make such a beautiful Winter Queen, like Stephy's music video. Why can't EEG invest into Twins' music videos anymore? Gillian looks great from the side and full face view. infatuated.gif The candid flashbacks and behind the scenes were really nice; their fainted presence made the music video extra special.

And what is up with this whole Twins together ordeal? Like, Twins are savoring every moment with each other before something big happens or whatnot. blink.gif They're clinging onto each other much more than usual like someone is about to leave. blink.gif

That is exactly why Gillian should get a sorrow role. That way, she can portray that in more emphasis on-screen. She was able to show her emotion so well in her limited scenes, just like what she can do in some scenes with depth. blush.gif I didn't like the distribution of the scenes, but seeing Gillian's portrayal was a great highlight. It was just so sad, and she really made me feel for her.

EEG probably isn't investing in Twins' MVs anymore for two reasons. It's either they're slacking off on them since they're already established in the ET industry and concentrating on other artistes instead, or they dont' want people looking forward to Twins' projects so much right now and preserving the high quality stuff for their later solo careers.

I think that is the theme of the song. 'I'll be waiting for you to come back', the last line of the song, so possibly one of them's supposedly leaving to go out to the world, and the other will be promising to wait for her to come back.

QUOTE(asillysaint @ Jun 21 2006 9 27 PM) [snapback]2562741[/snapback]

Yeah, perhaps after all these years, EEG decides to grant every fan's wish, the World Tour, as a final fulfillment before Twins elevate into the next level of entertainment, solo that is? blink.gif I mean, why all of a sudden, a world tour? At the brink of breakup too accordingly to the previous pieces of news. Yeah, Twins have released two Mandarin albums already which does logically give them more room and fans to perform live worldwide for but everything just seems fishy. Hm, perhaps I'm just thinking a bit too much? blush.gif

Here's another clearer version of Gillian singing I Really Want to Love Him. Both Twins sound really nice. Gillian was singing with a lot of energy so that the roaring crowd can hear lol. wub.gif I'm so proud, Gillian hit every high and standard note beautifully. This clip has Gillian singing the chorus twice. 1.gif So lovely I may add. Sa had a bit of struggle in her high notes; Gillian was sensational. Hm, after listening to this song so many times now, I've noticed, the reason why Sa delivered her last chorus using the nearly cracking voice tone is because Sa will run out of breath if she sang the lyrics altogether like Gillian's chorus. That is the most emotional part of the song so a lot of energy is needed to portray the emotions, with more emotions, Sa needs to take a breathing break in between the lyrics without the risk of cracking. Gillian has a better control of her respiration, Gillian's gulps of breath aren't as audible and Gillian can sing for a while before taking deep visible breaths. Gillian's live performance is so much more emotional and powerful than the CD version. clapping.gif
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSvaOivM82w

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

No kidding. It just makes it appear so suspicious, as if it's a farewell activity. Go around to seeing all of their fans around the world before they split into their own paths? It makes it look like this big wrap up on things for Twins altogether. blink.gif

Wow! Thanks for the clip! Gillian did very well in this performance. She was loud, and her voice was strong. She delivered high notes in great control. yeah.gif I guess Gillian has made improvements since she recorded that CD version? She really is evolving into a professional singer!!!! clapping.gif Charlene did sound like she had a few struggles with her verse. She's always known what's best for her during performances, so it's not surprising that the reason Charlene uses that technique is because she can't hold enough breath for the whole portion.

Remakes definitely won't be as popular as the original. Seeing how Twins are so popular, it'd be hard for them to surpass Gillian and Charlene. I'd say it's just EEG being egotistical and thinking that if they can make one legend happen, they can make another. But knowing EEG, even if these girls aren't well-accepted in the market, they will put their money power in to make them work just to prove that they know what they're doing. whistle.gif

Well, we've all known that groups all do split up eventually. It's just that people somehow take Twins as an exception. The general public feel that they might not be able to survive alone while actual fans know that Twins are actually interdependent on each other, so they may not want the split. It just really feels like Twins' split is coming nearer and nearer, and it can't be avoided. It may not be an actual bad thing, but the main thing we're worried about is Gillian's promotion. Is she going to be neglected of her abilities and talents? Or is EEG going to smarten up?

I believe the song is illustrating Gillian's character who is watching Charlene's character leave, and she is promising to wait for Charlene to come out; whereas, Charlene's character is the character that the song is dedicated to. She is the person who is going out to see the world, so I think that explains her little mild smile because she wants to go out and explore while Gillian is sad because her friend is leaving her, but she will patiently wait for Charlene's return.

(I'm sorry that i didn't "quote" this the right way because it was too slow)

I agree that there are already many hints that Twins are splitting. but splitting isn't really a bad thing. i mean it will be worst for gillian and yet better for gillian. <i don't know how to put that in words. Anyway, on the bright side, maybe gillian won't be insulted or bashed anymore by some extreme charlene fans like what happened recently. maybe EEG has realised that : Twins fans are no longer united since most either support charlene or gillian. some fans tend to like like one very much and hate the other like mad( like what happened to poor gillian.) and i disagree that whatever insults they throw at gillian will not affect her because in my opinion, it does. wouldn't you feel hurt, upset,or have lower self esteem when people constantly hurl insults and critisize you? i understand that gillian is strong, but i doubt it that she won't feel a little upset about the whole incident. so Twins splitting isn't too bad after all because both gillian and charlene will no longer be under the same group, which means less gillian haters because those extreme charlene's fans feel that charlene shouldn't be stuck with Twins (indirectly, gillian) which made them gillian haters. after Twins split, those charlene fans could go on supporting their idols without that much hatred towards gillian. that is what i see.

on the negative side, most probably gillian will be completely shunt aside by EEG after the split. i pray that it'll never happen. i agree with you that EEG should wake up now. i hope that EEG will make the right choices and have something up their sleeves planned for gillian in the future.

gillian is such a wonderful singer! i'm anticipating on her upcoming solo.(and maybe kenny and gillian's duet at the concert in Genting)

Thank you so much! You know me so well! dance.gif . The color was nice. So summerish!

Twins are singing the themesong for a famous Japanese Anime 'Futari Wa Pretty Cure', so they're filming a MV for the song. Apparently, the anime features two girls which have personalities that correspond to Gillian's and Charlene's personalities. Gillian represents the Snow Angel, 'Cure White', 雪城乃香 (Suet Sing Na Heung) while Charlene represents the Dark Angel, 'Cure Black', 美墨莎莎 (Mei Mak Sa Sa). Gillian's character is a perfect and sensible girl who gets high marks, known as the 'Knowledge Queen'; she's also the dream girl of all the guys around. Charlene's character is an athletic girl who dislikes learning, but she's very active. She's the goal of many other girls, but she actually dreams of dating the most. They each received a creature, Sa Sa with 美波, and Na Heung with 米波. These creatures can tranform them into Pretty Cure to fight the dark forces.

wow! that's very different. I like Gillian's outfit but not the bow in her hair. I think it looks kinda fake--so maybe it is wig hair. But I don't know why they would do that when she has a set of beautiful, long, hair herself. Gillian's so pretty, she has to be the snow angel. but of course she can protray the dark angel beautifly as well. I wanna hear this theme song now. Hopefully, we will get to.

Hmm...I think only the front part of her hair is real where it's probably in a bun while the blue bow with the long straight hair is fake....but maybe she does have her straight here back since her front is already so straight!!

So would this be in Mandarin or Cantonese or maybe even Japanese?? Gillian knows some Japanese, I think because she sang part of the "First Love" song by Utada Hikaru... clapping.gif

Gillian is absolutely great at portraying sorrowful roles. She was quite convincing when Ken broke up with her in Beyond Our Ken, seemed like Gillian had lost her hope and will to live, she was just roaming around in desperation, sorrow, and insanity. blink.gif That was remarkable, no wonder why Gillian was nominated for that role. She did an awesome portrayal. whistle.gif In relation to this music video, Gillian reintroduces the audience at how convincing she is at tears and heartaching roles since we haven't see her in films lately, even the short amount of duration isn't enough to limit the sorrow that touches each viewer. blush.gif Gillian's scenes are sadly short and simple but MOST memorable and powerful. blush.gif

Yeah. That last line is my favorite. Seems like Twins in reality may follow this sad storyline afterall? blink.gif If Twins come to America, hopefully it won't be the last of Gillian, at least in the music industry. sweat.gif

Hey Shorty_Vicky, Gillian's voice is extremely strong in this live performance just like you requested earlier. hug.gif I agree. Sa needs a bit more work on her respiration. Gillian has been doing such wonderful live performances in regards to this album, I really want to watch Gillian perform her solo since it's quite popular! harhar.gif When you listen to Gillian's solo, because Gillian makes all of the high notes sound so standard, when you actually think the solo is simple enough to sing along, the notes actually catch your cracking voice because the solo isn't as simple as it may appear and the notes are quite high lol. loool.gif

Hm, if Gillian fans everywhere break off and fully support Gillian after Twins' disbandment, I'm pretty sure EEG would have to tune in to their demands or else it will not be a pretty scene. whistle.gif

Nice explanation of the music video. The music video makes Gillian look really mixed, foreign with really nice smooth white skin. Seems like Gillian is wearing blue contacts or something. blink.gif Gillian's beauty in this music video just grows more and more each time I watch it. Gillian's sorrowful expressions are so priceless. down.gif

>megazerox and a silly saint .Thank you very much.Now that i have made sure about the location,
then i think i'll be able to go because i'm a Malaysian.

I agree that there are already many hints that Twins are splitting. but splitting isn't really a bad thing. i mean it will be worst for gillian and yet better for gillian. <i don't know how to put that in words. Anyway, on the bright side, maybe gillian won't be insulted or bashed anymore by some extreme charlene fans like what happened recently. maybe EEG has realised that : Twins fans are no longer united since most either support charlene or gillian. some fans tend to like like one very much and hate the other like mad( like what happened to poor gillian.) and i disagree that whatever insults they throw at gillian will not affect her because in my opinion, it does. wouldn't you feel hurt, upset,or have lower self esteem when people constantly hurl insults and critisize you? i understand that gillian is strong, but i doubt it that she won't feel a little upset about the whole incident. so Twins splitting isn't too bad after all because both gillian and charlene will no longer be under the same group, which means less gillian haters because those extreme charlene's fans feel that charlene shouldn't be stuck with Twins (indirectly, gillian) which made them gillian haters. after Twins split, those charlene fans could go on supporting their idols without that much hatred towards gillian. that is what i see.

on the negative side, most probably gillian will be completely shunt aside by EEG after the split. i pray that it'll never happen. i agree with you that EEG should wake up now. i hope that EEG will make the right choices and have something up their sleeves planned for gillian in the future.

gillian is such a wonderful singer! i'm anticipating on her upcoming solo.(and maybe kenny and gillian's duet at the concert in Genting)
Wow, that's great news. Hug Gillian for me. Please show Gillian that she's loved.

I agree, Gillian is a sensitve person. She can't just rub things off so easily. If anything, Gillian is the softest and most sentimental person out of EEG; that's why Gillian is always so tearful. down.gif Sa fans have obviously moved a step ahead of Gillian fans who still remain quite loyal to Twins as a whole by already launching their very own plots and actions against our dear Gillian in support of Sa. n_thumbdown.gif It's about time Gillian gets her break. If each Twins were to go solo, Sa fans wouldn't have to attend Gillian functions/events and wouldn't even consider being rude to Gillian because it would get pretty ugly! whistle.gif

I am worried for Gillian but I know that good people like Gillian will somehow make it.

Thank you so much! You know me so well! dance.gif . The color was nice. So summerish! But then something really annoyed me was when Gillian was singing, she'll be in the back and show Charlene, and Charlene whole head will block Gill, and what's the point of showing her singing then if they was going to block her? Also it didn't happen to Char, yeah only once when she sang something like "You know" and then it showed how sad and depress Gillian looked. Nowadays EEG is being unfair to Gillian day after day. MVs, Film, what's next?

What is this song about? Lol. whistle.gif Um..because I'm wondering why is Charlene singing all happy n_thumbdown.gif and Gillian is singing all sad and depress? down.gif And now I'm watching the second time the camera zoomed up to Gillian face. wacko.gif MV's these days, are being more and more unfair to Gillian. Also near the end where it showed a close up on Gillian, it looked like she was going to cry which almost made me cry down.gif

Hey, I'm writing lyrics for Gillian. But it's going to be a english song. Showing her past and my POV of everything
That means I could erase the link now right? I don't want to keep a music video that isn't mine so I'll be erasing this one and Twins Around the World with 80 Dollars mv.

Nothing has ever been fair for Gillian in Twins. Even the freakin commercials are horribly and unfairly distributed. The music video is about one or the other leaving to pursue her dreams leaving the other one behind. Like Little_Purple_Bell explained, Sa is the one full of dreams to catch so she's smiling whereas Gillian will be losing a good friend so she's in tears. I say, Gillian should pack up her bags and catch her dreams too. whistle.gif

Perhaps I should write a poem for Gillian as well since I am a writer lol. sweat.gif

Can anyone tell whether Gillian's hair is a wig or her real hair? If it's real hair, then I think we've got her straight hair back! yeah.gif It's so long! It looks like her hairstyle back in when filming the MV for 'Double Lost Valentine's Day'; well, when she decides to put it down anyway.

Twins are singing the themesong for a famous Japanese Anime 'Futari Wa Pretty Cure', so they're filming a MV for the song. Apparently, the anime features two girls which have personalities that correspond to Gillian's and Charlene's personalities. Gillian represents the Snow Angel, 'Cure White', 雪城乃香 (Suet Sing Na Heung) while Charlene represents the Dark Angel, 'Cure Black', 美墨莎莎 (Mei Mak Sa Sa). Gillian's character is a perfect and sensible girl who gets high marks, known as the 'Knowledge Queen'; she's also the dream girl of all the guys around. Charlene's character is an athletic girl who dislikes learning, but she's very active. She's the goal of many other girls, but she actually dreams of dating the most. They each received a creature, Sa Sa with 美波, and Na Heung with 米波. These creatures can tranform them into Pretty Cure to fight the dark forces.
Perfect. Gillian is perfect portraying a perfect character. sweat.gif I love Gillian's outfit; Sa's outfit looks unappealing, can pinpoint what exactly. blink.gif Gillian looks absolutely lovely and beautiful as the Snow Angel; ironically, I just stated that Gillian would make a beautiful Winter Queen after watching the You're the Bravest music video, didn't expect Gillian to really portray a similar character. Gillian is definitely the dream/ideal girl of both boys and girls. 1.gif

Gillian's hair is finally straight again!! I'm so happy! n_tt2.gif Gah, Gillian is so gorgeous, the straight hair, the outfit, the cute expression, just everything altogether. Um, from viewing these pictures, Gillian's front looks real but the back hair looks fake. But who cares, Gillian's curls magically disappeared! But perhaps for this special music video only? down.gif Can't wait to watch this music video. Hopefully, the scenes won't disappoint me but like usual, I won't have much hope.

Wouldn't it be even better if Gillian transformed into blue hair like her doll? like Rainie? Ah, I would love to see Gillian's hair all blue like Pepsi Blue! That would be ultimately awesome! clapping.gif

QUOTE(CathyW @ Jun 22 2006 4 05 PM) [snapback]2566403[/snapback]
I agree. There is no way that Gillian can remain unaffected by those insults. This is why I think she's still wearing long sleeved clothing in June, when it is pretty hot in HK, because people are constantly calling her fat/chubby. We hardly ever see Gillian in sleeveless tops, shorts or skirts without wearing a pair of boots to cover her legs anymore....
Yeah. That is the best explanation why Gillian won't wear anything revealing anymore. Poor Gillian, always being attacked. down.gif

QUOTE(Gill#1Fan @ Jun 22 2006 5 19 PM) [snapback]2566619[/snapback]
That is soo true! Remember the first outfit they had?? Gillian was covered while, you see Charlene's stomache and her skirt is shorter than Gillian. And the outfit when Charlene wore red and Gillian wore orange, basically Charlene skirt covers nothing.

Here's another picuter I found:

IPB Image
This Regene company totally stinks. n_thumbdown.gif

Yeah. Sa has been quite revealing lately but I guess that's just her style. Some of Sa's outfits in Twins 2006 Concert surprised me as well. blink.gif

Thanks for the extra photo. Sa's outfit resembles those cleaning outfits lol. Gillian's resembles Snow White's, that's probably why they named her character the Snow Angel lol. sweat.gif

Go Gillian! yeah.gif

Barbie would just have to step down from the crown, now that Gillian has entered the beauty pageant lol. infatuated.gif Eh, why does Sa's postures always have to cover Gillian one way or another? dry.gif Gillian can totally pull of a gorgeous evil look when she wore that devilish black outfit some months ago and now, Gillian looks so dazzling all wrapped up in white, innocent, angelic clothes. clapping.gif

Anyway, Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Just wanted to Congratulate Gillian again for a superb achievement. Gillian's solo is still Baidu's Top 10, at 7th place. yeah.gif

1. 反转地球 (潘玮柏)
2. 认真的雪 (薛之谦)
3. 香飘飘 (香香)
4. 我们的纪念日 (范玮琪)

9. 很想说 (李圣杰)
10. 最后慢舞 (周传雄)

22. 我很想爱他 (twins)--I Really Want to Love Him isn't as popular? It's still a pretty nice ballad. Hm, I don't see Sa's solo in sight unless I've mistakened? blink.gif Anyway, Baidu is quite the spot for a lot of Chinese online users, wonder if Gillian will ever know how well her solo is being accepted online and online does matter a lot too. whistle.gif

Some immature Sa fans can express all of their pathetic negative feelings towards Gillian all they wish, they can't stop Gillian from reaching the top solo.whistle.gif And this comment will only hurt or pertain to those who believe insulting or degrading Gillian will limit her success, which DOES NOT AT ALL la la la. harhar.gif I guess, we should rest assure that Gillian will always have an unknown group of individuals who will support her no matter what and they are those silent viewers, ready to strike when necessary, not so impulsive like some other fans who really have nothing to flaunt at all. whistle.gif

Gillian Power!! yeah.gif ----> Matches Gillian's new Anime look! sweat.gif

Yeah, I felt Gillian's pain when she was scrubbing the board quickly but nothing came off. down.gif

Gillian's song is hard, seriously. It sounds all simple but um, all I have to say is: now I understand why the crew chose this particular song as Gillian's solo, it's not as simple as we may believe it to be. Gillian's solo is quite unique and challenging to a certain extent, I must say, I applaud Gillian for singing so beautifully in quite a tough song. clapping.gif

Hm, I guess, the whole anime ordeal is popular at the moment. Even Rainie and some Mainland actresses are portraying Anime characters, which does expose them to a new audience, I suppose. sweat.gif

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Even before the serial's release, during filming, Gillian and Jimmy's chemistry was already overwhelming with cuteness; their pair was already predicted to be a decent hit; that's why crew members were teasing Gillian and Jimmy about each other. That's probably why the serial didn't give Na Zha and Zhi Mei's love story more room to develop or else it would be pretty tough for the Monkey King and Zhi Lan's story to bloom as beautifully as the producers had expected.


Even though Na Zha and Zhi Mei's love story isn't that well develop but is still better the love story between the Monkey King and Zhi Lan anyways.

Hm, I guess you're right. Sa doesn't match dark colors unless it's much more of a formal dress or outfit than this. Sa looks better and more refreshing with lighter colors.

Hm, just checked the results again, Gillian's solo is now in 17th place but it's still the Top 20 right? sweat.gif

I want Gillian's hair to turn blue like the little doll she's holding, that would be awesome. Blue hair would absolutely match her blue ribbons and colors on her outfit.

Yeah. I don't mind Sa performing her solo live, all I want to tune into is Gillian's solo. I really want to see how great Gillian can sweep the audience away with her cute solo.

I know. The filming for the serial has already finished 1-2 months ago so we'll get to watch this serial by the end of this year for sure. sweat.gif

DBSK<3! They are a hot group but a bit too young though. down.gif I love Hero but sadly, he says he only likes Korean girls in one of his interviews. wacko.gif They have great songs and cute outfits though.

*Attention* Please tune in on this duet of Alan Luo and Gillian Chung: Lian Ai De Ren. It originally is a hot duet between Alan and Xiao S but I guess Gillian replaced Xiao S for a game on Alan's gameshow.

One word: HOT! Alan sounds great. Gillian sounds amazing! I'm so speechless. All I have to say is, Gillian definitely should have been the lady next to Alan that one concert in place of Rainie because Gillian totally kicked Rainie's butt in this duet. (No offense to Rainie, I'm also a Rainie fan as well.) This is Gillian's first time too and she already perfected her part of the song. I am totally loving this duet. The only sad thing about this is, the audio clip was too short. down.gif I wanted to hear Gillian sing the entire song, the chorus and climax, that would have been incredible. I love how Gillian deepens her voice resembling Xiao S's to sing so beautifully. Rainie is a nice singer but her voice is too fragile, it doesn't collaborate well with Alan's, in this song at least. If you listen, Alan and Gillian's voices blended in so well and this is only for fun?blink.gif Man, if Alan and Gillian were to seriously collaborate, how wonderful that would be? clapping.gif Oh, I'm so L.O.V.E.ing it now! I love how Gillian says that: L.O.V.E.


Anyway, enough rambling, listen for yourselves. The format file should play, it's not in MP3 or wma but it'll play.
