Gillian would be great in a romance story; through all the types of scenes, emotional ones have always been the easy ones for Gillian. The tears just flow out so naturally and convincingly. She really needs a role that lets her cry and scream out over her frustrations of romance. I bet she would just be a complete heartbreaker for all of us when we watch it. She just needs a few scenes that focus on her emotions to show us all that she's got in her; BOK provided a good opportunity, but the feeling is different. The character, Ching, was sad because she didn't want to lose for once and decided to seek revenge because of her vengeance, but I'd like to see Gillian portray a character like Charlie's in 'All About Love' as you've said; the scene of when Charlie and Andy were fighting in their house was so memorable. I'd like to see Gillian take a wack at one of those scenes, a shocking emotional breakdown. A scene for Gillian to display all her tears and pains out for the sake of love. Gillian needs a role in a romance story; she's never done one before. I hope Andy has the same idea in mind for Gillian, and that his idea will be fulfilled. Gillian just has the face of an 'Ice Beauty', looking to be so rigid and stubborn yet so fragile, and she can surely portray the emotions behind the beauty as well; Andy wouldn't want to put that to waste, would he?
An emotional romance story would be the best bet for Gillian.
It'd be awesome if her role in Andy's film could bring Gillian another nomination, or better yet the award itself.
I believe this is a concert held in Mainland; many guests were invited to perform there including Twins and Joey. Each guest got about half an hour to perform their songs. Twins sang 'Around The World With Eighty Dollars', 'One Time Not Twice', 'I Really Want To Love Him', 'Starlight Amusement Park', and 'Transformation Party. I saw a clip of it, but the quality wasn't very good during some parts, especially during 'Around The World With Eighty Dollars' and 'One Time Not Twice'. Both Gillian and Charlene still did their best job in 'I Really Want To Love Him'. (Am I not supposed to comment on Charlene?
Or is that okay?) Gillian sounds much better than before when singing 'Transformation Party'; she sounds a lot more enthusiastic than the CD version. She's starting to become more relaxed and willing to joke to the public even while being with Charlene as Twins, judging from this clip. She joked that she's sweating so much that she's becoming a tomboy because Charlene commented that they're sweating even more than men! Gillian was quite talkative towards the audience during this performance as well; it was equal speaking time. 
I noticed that Gillian gets to 'share' some of Charlene's verses after she sings the song solo. Like last time, she sang along with Charlene during Charlene's solo verse for 'Hover Bird'. This time, she shares some of Charlene's solo lines during 'Starlight Amusement Park'.
A rude and mean incident also happened during this event. Zhou BiChang's fans, according to CCT's fans, were chucking glowsticks at Twins during their performance of 'Transformation Party'. Sorry if this is off-topic because it mentions Charlene, but one glowstick actually hit Charlene in the neck!
How could those people do that? It's highly immature of them!
Here's the link of the performance:
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?acti...7B486117012DD00 It would absolutely be awesome to watch Gillian go crazy with her acting abilities instead of always portraying some type of calm and conservative character; I would love to see Gillian laugh in one scene then cry psychotically the next minute, with such a contrasting and unpredictable role, Gillian will surely bring home an award. I really hope Andy intends on exposing Gillian's hidden potential, which hasn't been polished nor even extracted by any director nor film so far.
So much has happened since I've been gone. Thanks for sharing this clip even though the quality isn't that audible and well but it's enough to make some comments and observations but I'll make them brief since there's still so much to discuss about at the moment.
Gillian's improvements based on this concert:
I am extremely proud of Gillian for finally extending out her notes so well especially in
I Really Want To Love Him, you can totally sense how confident Gillian was as her voice stretched out the notes into the music. Gillian's voice seems to have regained back the solid element that has been missing in her previous live performances. Gillian's voice wasn't second to anyone, she completely projected her voice just as loud yet perfectly in synchronization with Sa's. Before, Gillian's voice was barely heard when both dancing and singing to fast songs but in this concert particularly, Gillian danced like no one was watching, sang like never before, and radiated with so much energy onstage, it was breathless watching and listening to how well Gillian performed both tasks. Gillian was obviously exhausted due to the heavy dancing but that didn't stop her from enjoying herself. Gillian was on fire, seriously. When Twins joined in the middle of the stage during
Around the World With 80 Dollars, watching Gillian dance so sexyily against the background dancers, in my heart, I was like "Party on Gillian, go go go!" I've never seen Gillian so enthusiastic before. I could hear Gillian catching her breath from all of that jumping around but honestly, Gillian still sounded so lovely and in tune. Gillian never lost her smile throughout the entire show. If you were to listen to the live performance, you'll notice that Gillian has even extended out her notes in the songs moreso than Sa.

Hm, a little side note, notice how Twins sang the
la la la of
Starlight Amusement Park then when Gillian sang it solo at 13:25, compare that.

The song I enjoyed most was of course,
I Really Want To Love Him. Gillian's voice was so vibrant, full of live, full of sorrow, and her facial expressions were pricelessly heartjerking. Gillian measured exactly when to release strength and when to lose grip, Gillian was completely awesome. In conclusion, Gillian improved: her volume, her strength, her extension, and her ability to balance both singing and dancing successfully. Can't wait to see more of Gillian's live performances.
Mainland China fans usually become quite aggressive during concerts so I'm not that surprised. I'm just glad those fans were just throwing glow sticks instead of climbing up on stage to attack Twins. I've seen a few Mainland China concerts where fans would just climb up the rail onstage and harass their idols, preventing their idols from continuing singing. How rude and insane. And I thought Mainland fans would have more manners since they supposedly reside in a much stricter system than ours.

And what stinks even more is: the security guards don't even rush up onstage to help either.

How weird is that.

Yeah, the only times that Twins have actually sung 'You Are The Bravest' were during the promotions of their CD, but never on an official show or at an official event, so we don't get much of an insight on this song. It's always either have been 'Around The World With Eighty Dollars' or 'I Really Want To Love Him'. I wonder if Charlene will be able to keep her soft tone as she did in the CD version? Rewatching the clip again, I noticed that it's not just the songs that Gillian's sang solo, it happened for 'One Time Not Twice' as well; Gillian sang one of Charlene's lines with her as well.
Another thing I've noticed, Twins' standing positions aren't as rigid in this performance. Gillian didn't have to stay on the left side, and Charlene didn't have to stay on the right side. Actually, their standing positions were pretty much reversed with Gillian on the right and Charlene on the left in this performance.
Anyway, Gillian seems to have gotten better at her dancing; she's gotten to be more loose with her body now when compared to the concert they had earlier this year.
The dancing looks so tiring for them; they were just sweating so hard during the first part of the performances. Maybe even Charlene wanted to get the dancing part over with by skipping a verse during 'One Time Not Twice', but she and Gillian weren't quite on the same page since Gillian kept going with the upcoming verse. It caused a little collision there.
The slow songs must've felt like total relief for them.
You know, I don't know if it's a good thing that Twins switched places during this performance. If they stood where they usually stand, the one getting hit would be Gillian, but because Charlene stepped over to the left side this time, the glowstick hit her instead. Not that I would want Gillian to get hurt, but it kind of feels like Charlene took a bullet for Gillian there.
Yes, this is it!
Yay! It's finally airing! I hope it doesn't get cut into little fragments, at least spare the KG duet. It's something we've been anticipating on for ages. There most likely won't be a second chance for KG to perform it again, so I really hope it gets aired. It might not be cut as bad as the 'Lady In Red' concert because this mini concert is a show that airs regularly on TVB8, so it may be the whole thing if we have luck. 'Lady In Red' was a random event, so that may be why it was cut. I wonder why though? The 'All About Men' concert wasn't cut at all.
Hm, perhaps Twins can't sing
You're the Bravest live that well so they're avoiding possible bashings. Gillian has improved in dancing. She totally allowed her body to move and swing in synchornization with the fast melody and still managed to sing so beautifully.
Really? Hm, glowsticks were being throw at both Twins towards the end but the one that hit Sa on her neck at 22:00 was specifically aimed at Sa. If you notice, Twins had already switched places for a few seconds, enough to aim then shoot the glowstick directly at Sa since there was a large gap between Twins so there was no way that glowstick was by accident or thrown at both Twins, moreso towards Sa. But the first glowstick was thrown at Gillian though, not Twins. I'm just glad Gillian was able to dodge all of the glowsticks, all of that martial arts practice eventually paid off.

Aw, when Sa was hit with that flying glowstick, Gillian glanced at Sa and realized how serious this situation became and Sa turned to Gillian like, "What the heck just happened."

Hm, my own speculation, was Gillian able to dodge all of those glowsticks because there were less thrown at her or was Gillian just a swift mover or perhaps both? I mean, wonder why Sa was hit twice when those glowsticks were pretty visible, even the cameras caught a good view of them from afar. Anyway, those glowstick fans were pretty close to the stage despite that gap in the middle of the stage and audience, in order to aim so perfectly.
I'm so excited. Despite all of the bad news lately, at least there's some good news in the foul air. Ah, can't wait to watch this performance. Hopefully, nothing is deleted. Hm, perhaps there were more errors that occurred during the
Lady In Red Concert than the
All About Men Concert so more was deleted to make the show much more enjoyable.

I'm sure the Kenny and Gillian duet was a pleasant collaboration considering the fact that Gillian seems to have regained back her confidence and solid voice beneath all of this chaos.

Since Gillian is shorter, then it might hit her face!

That fan just totally made a fool out of him/herself and made their idol look bad. I mean what's the point of that? That's just sad. Can't believe they were so violent...
Hmm...I've noticed how this thread seemed to have posts deleted. There are some threads where a poster quotes someone and just add a smiley face yet they don't get it deleted...

That's total spamming...

It's weird because our posts are relevent and it gets deleted? I guess since the Gillian thread have so many pages, it attracts people too much

True, Gillian is shorter so the glowstick that hit Sa's neck may have made a mark on Gillian's face instead.
Yeah, this thread seems to be monitored quite closely because it's gaining too much attention and attraction.

Here's some new Gillian pictures at New Horizons singing contest 2006. Like her outfit expect the black thing she is wearing behind. Looks like she lost weight too..
http://i6.tinypic.com/1zn7jt5.jpg http://i6.tinypic.com/1zn7k3d.jpgThanks for sharing the new photos of Gillian. I'm also glad that Gillian has been wearing less clothes. It's hot and humid in HK, I really admire Gillian for enduring all of that heat in previous conservative outfits. Gillian has lost more weight, which has only benefitted her as Gillian's facial features have become much more distinctive and beautiful yet still appear really healthy and just right.
Gillian is absolutely stunning.
Little_Purple_Bell: Thanks for the translation. Gillian's solo does deserve recognition and I'm glad it's just not us who sees the potential of Gillian's voice and solo songs.
Go Gillian~

Here are some other live performances of 我很想愛他: I like this song but it's a bit simple. But either way, I love the way Gillian sings each note, each word, and each sensation, absolutely beautiful.
At an event, forgot the name.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaSkG1LfpkkAt Alan-Xiao S's show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPh2_7dcNCcThis is the clearest performance of 你最勇敢: You're the Bravest I've seen so far. Twins peformed really well. Ah, I love Gillian's voice in this live performance, so soothing and lovely. Gillian reached every note perfectly and personally, sounds exactly like the CD minus the crowd.

Perhaps better than the CD version in that Gillian channels out each emotion so well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-cKqOT1_RkI'm more than certain, Gillian is ready for so much more.
Go Gillian~
