Oh...thanks for the link! I really like Gillian's solo. It sounds challenging and so 'Non-Twins'. I mean even when Twins were trying to sing songs more mature in previous albums, it's still gives me this...hmm...I don't know what...but just so Twins-style...

I can't help keep listening to it even though it's just a small portion of it...
From what I have heard of the Twins verison of the 32 second MV release, I really like Charlene's solo too. This is also so different from the other Twins' songs. Charlene's voice doesn't sound different but Gillian's sure does - more sharp and high but not in a way that irritates the eyes, just compliments the song
Oh my, I just downloaded it now and I cannot get enough of it! I absolutely love Gillian's ballad, seriously! I love all of the sorrowful emotions Gillian successfully channels out, so lovely and so heart breaking. I love it when Gillian's voices stretches and expands, ahhh, Gillian is such a great singer. Can't wait to hear Gillian live!
Yeah, that's what I noticed too. Sa's voice is the base, remaining the same while Gillian's voice extends higher but overall, Sa's voice is more audible than Gillian's because normally, higher notes are usually for background purposes, so in a way, Sa is still the lead singer of her solo.

As for Gillian's voice, this album has been Gillian's best so far! I have to say, I love how Gillian sings very much, Gillian has definitely improved and polished her singing abilities so well; I'm still speechless and amazed.

Actually, this song is actually quite bittersweet. It's not extremely sorrowful, but this character of the song is still having a hard time with herself. She's trying to move on, even by hanging the flower on the guy, assuming that the guy is getting married, but she still feels completely miserable inside. She is still hoping for her true love. This ballad is really good with the great lyrics and Gillian's emotional portrayal; it sounds a lot more mature than the usual Twins songs, which is a big highlight.
I think you're right about how Gillian's singing at a higher scale. Gillian said on an interview earlier that their producers want to have their songs show how both of them sing instead of making them sing exactly the same because then, it would have no difference than having a solo artiste sing it. That's probably why Gillian's singing higher notes while Charlene stays at the standard notes. I'd really like to hear the full version of this song, seeing that Gillian is doing higher scales in there. I just love that solo line.
I think the translated song title should be 'If Not Him, I Won't Marry'; it makes more sense as to corresponding to the song after listening to the lyrics. Translated Lyrics of the two released verses: Oh my, at first, Gillian's solo reminded me of Vivian and Joey mixed together, Gillian's voice is just so beautiful! I cannot stop listening to it!

Oh, okay, after reading the lyrics, Gillian's response makes more sense now.
Yeah, when I first heard that solo verse, it was so high and clear, I wasn't even sure that was Gillian because I was still paying attention to the video, I didn't glance at the karaoke lyrics until that solo verse caught me by surprise and I had to rewind it just to listen to it again and that was Gillian! Gillian, I'm so proud of her!

Oh so I guess, it wasn't just me who heard Gillian sing those higher notes while Sa remained as the base of the song.

I'm so glad that at least the producers are beginning to do something different with Twins songs, that is something so refreshing to hear.
Thanks so much for translating the lyrics. The lyrics are also lovely but I have to say, Gillian's voice is what makes the ballad so lively and vibrant with emotions!

I agree; Gillian's solo doesn't really seem 'Twins-style'; it actually sounds quite mature and challenging. I love her solo, and I'm glad her producer chose this for her.
Yeah, I like Charlene's solo too. Both versions are very nice. The duet version, obviously because Gillian used a different singing technique and tried some high notes. The way the standard and high voices came together complimented the song. The solo version is quite good because Charlene's emotions were well-controlled.
These three songs are probably the only worthy things in the album.
I cut a no DJ version of Gillian's solo, 'If Not Him, I Won't Marry'; I think it'll be better for repeating now.
http://rapidshare.de/files/33981225/If_Not..._Marry.wma.html Yes, Gillian's solo doesn't sound like a Twins song at all, that's why I'm so happy that Gillian successfully delivered each line, each verse, and each word so beautifully! I'm falling in love with the ballad more and more as I listen to it.
I agree. After listening to Gillian sing in the Sa duet and her own solo, Gillian sings differently in each. Gillian expands really well in her own solo while dots the duet with high climaxes; I'm not sure if I made any sense.

Anyway, cheers to Gillian for portraying both songs so wonderfully!
Thanks so much for the link. I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Wait? So the "gik ho bun" was Charlene voice??? O.o I thought it was Gillian voice? Tell me it's Gillian, =( she sound so nice!!! I mean, it look like Gillian was singing that part right?
That was Sa. Both sound really nice all throughout the song.
Go Gillian~
