Well, people who acknowledged Sa as being the more successful and popular one were influenced by the media and we all know that the media is influenced by EEG. It's all false advertisement. Ever since Twins was formed, I don't think there was ever a time when Sa had a larger fanbase than Gillian; it was always the other way around even when Sa produced more films, acted with veteran actors like Jackie Chan, Ekin, and Andy Lau, and appeared to have a bubbly personality Gillian still ranked higher.
Hm, there's a 55 second clip now.

' It continues off from your 30 second clip. But don't worry, we'll see it soon enough. I guess, EEG is waiting to do a special Valentine's event to earn some extra bucks since EEG loves to gather up all of their artists every holiday/special day for profit purposes which in this case is a good idea because hopefully EEG will do a splendid job at promoting the duet and MV.
Yeah, it must had been tough for Gillian to restrain from singing/performing her fullest vocals wise due to courtesy for Sa. Gosh, she's such a lovely person.

About the Sa fan, well all of us here at this thread witnessed how immature some Sa fans can be so I guess we will never understand their logic.
I believe Gillian did want to perform something similar to Sa's sad story since she's excellent at tears and she's been asking EEG and directors for a sorrowful romantic role ever since she succeeded in BOK. But oh well, I admire Gillian's pace during the concert because she had to jump back and forth with awesome martial arts AND sing. The most amazing part was: even with all of that running around, you would think that she was breathless and would not sing as well but gosh, she did a fantastically stunning job at that Joey song. But it would had been better if Kenny sort of dressed up too like a Ninja and cool Gillian had to protect him from assassins.

Then Kenny (like what he did earlier when he mistakened a fan's pen as a knife and immediately moved towards Gillian to defend her) blocks the flying dagger/sword for Gillian and he dies in her arms creating such a sad sonata for the audience to enjoy. Kenny stained with blood confesses his love and passion for her, Gillian cries convincingly and clings onto him tightly, while the pitch dark background sprinkles with stars of hope as both KG sing their lovely duet together for the final time under the bright moon. Haha!

A story of my own. That would had been great to watch and look forward to in the DVD but GR! I guess I'll just save my tears for Gillian when I watch Gillian's romantic sad character in the film she requested.
Gillian is probably just fed up with all of this bias treatment and knows that the days of Twins is slowly decreasing day by day since she's in the actual situation so she is aware and has begun thinking about herself for the very first time. She possibly realized that the only reason why EEG even promotes or allows her to participate in various activities, functions, and projects is because she is part of Twins so in order for Sa to continue being popular Twins must remain together. Once Twins split, EEG could choose to not promote her since she's no longer related to Sa's image. Both Twins do depend on each other. Gillian is depending on Sa for promotions from EEG while Sa is depending on Gillian for fans and publicity. So being Twins is the best choice for both because if they were to split, Sa may never gain the fanbase/popularity she needs to survive in the ET industry and as for Gillian, she may have the stable fanbase but because EEG won't promote her, she'll also gradually fade. And some fans may choose to argue that Sa has enough charm to last in the ET circle and with the promotions of EEG, she'll do just fine but one thing they're forgetting is: EEG has always been promoting Sa all along yet her popularity doesn't even match up to Gillian, someone EEG never really considered investing in. So whether Sa was to receive more promotions or not in the future, it would most likely not go anywhere because if so then Sa would had been more popular than Gillian a long time ago. Sa has worked with many stars Gillian has never worked with yet Gillian is still more well known. EEG would had never kept Gillian if Twins weren't this successful and influential in the HK market.
Ah- I do pray that if EEG purposely gives the dumb songs to Gillian and the interesting ones to Sa, the audience would hear differently; there is a God. Tastes in music vary from person to person so let's hope that EEG doesn't plan on kicking the trash to Gillian because that would stink. I mean, Gillian is already held back in films this year...so far no interesting roles have been accepted by EEG for Gillian and singing wise, we would have to wait for the solo songs to determine that.
Wow, so you're a relatively new Twins/Gillian fan well not new new but newer than me! I love that solo song of Gillian's. I think that Gillian's voice is unique. Frankly, Sa's voice is similar to Miriam's, Sammi's, Emme's, Hocc's etc. because they all possess that sort of low strong tone. It's not high like Kelly, Joey, or the mandarin singers. Personally, Gillian's voice is none of the above. It's sweet yet sorrowful, gentle yet strong, and simple yet passionate. Gillian does have a huge amount of talent/potential but she's just learning how to exploit them at the moment. At first, I didn't quite like Gillian due to boyfriend rumors. At that time, I really liked Edison so I kept wondering who Gillian Chung was since her name was constantly associated with Edison's. My dad rented the Monkey King II so I thought ok, I like Dicky, Nic is in it too along with Jimmy so figure I'll just watch a few episodes and fast foward all the nonsense stuff but when I saw Gillian who first appeared, I was like wow, she's sooo cute sweeping or guarding the entrance of Heaven if I'm not mistakened (? I don't quite remember the details). I didn't even know who she was until my friend pointed it out that the cute girl I was cheering for in MK for Jimmy was Gillian Chung. I was quite surprised but didn't care because I was already converted. I really did not like Sa and that was my very first impression without any knowledge of who she was. I thought she was trying too hard to be cute, the serial claimed her to be the prettiest goddess in Heaven when I thought what?...she's obviously not, and don't know, but I just didn't like Sa period. Then I researched and found out that Gillian and Sa were a duo named Twins, the rumors were false, and later that Gillian was being treated badly by Mani and EEG staff so I began my journey in supporting Gillian since then. Twins' music is decent and eventually, Sa became ok with me.

I meant to only respond with a few sentences but turned out to be another essay...gosh

I really have so much to say about Gillian!

GILLIAN SUPPORTER!!
I think Gillian's meant to be long-lasting in the the whole game. If not, then how could a person still be around when she was practically invisible for the early years? You're right; Charlene had so many chances to work with good directors/scripts/co-stars, yet Gillian manages to hang on and pull through all the hard times. You know..... I don't really believe that thing of how they say Charlene's a promise to the box office because Charlene's movies always have a good cast/script; therefore, people aren't necessarily going in the theatre for her.
I hope you're right about the Valentine's Day thing. Maybe KG could attend a function together! Just the two of them by the way....

It was kinda funny this one time when Gillian appeared at a function with Kenny and Isabella because Gillian was actually standing in the middle of the two of them, and Isabella usually just
has to stand by Kenny. Gillian is a lovely person....

which gives us even more of the reasons to love her even more!!!
Gillian's so versatile in acting! We can see that because anything outside of EEG power, Gillian shines right on. We haven't seen Charlene being nominated for Best Actress yet, have we? Renee Liu (Winner of Best Actress, whom Gillian lost to) has expressed that being nominated for Gam Zhi Ging Awards is actually better than the Golden Horse because Gam Zhi Ging does more focus on how the actor/actress performed and how the script was while Golden Horse is often influenced by business and country matters, which of course, affects the results.
I love your plot! If only EEG had the brains to think that way........ Kenny is so sweet towards Gillian; he said that he was afraid of being embarassed towards Gillian because of his mistake of a pen for a knife back then! So cute! There are some Charlene fans/Anti-Gillian Fans out there who ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, claim that her voice never goes into the microphone. What's that supposed to mean?

A microphone's job is to enhance the volume of a person's voice. If what they're expressing means that Gillian's voice isn't loud enough for them, then it either means that the microphone has a problem, or they're simply trying pick bones out of an egg, or they never realize that Gillian's being so considerate of THEIR IDOL that she chooses to restrain her own voice to let Charlene be considered loud. Oh yes, they also express that Charlene's voice is so loud and goes into the microphone.

<--- Being loud doesn't account for it all. You can be as loud as you want, but what happens if she's out of tune or out of breath? Speaking of the concert, Charlene once again has the easy side of the table! Gillian had to run around, and fight with her martial arts and then sing! Charlene simply had to be walking around while singing! Gillian's performance was much more difficult and energy-consuming in my opinion! However, I have read comments at a general chinese forum where this person expressed that Gillian had lots of feelings while singing Joey's song, and she said that her friend who came with her said she sounded even better than Joey on that song!
Twins are interdependent on each other, but it doesn't seem like the regular reasons why though. It seems pretty political-ish to me. You know, if EEG would put some sense into promoting Gillian more, her career would probably be up the roof by now! Being as dumb as EEG is, neither Twin will survive if they break up unless they change their ways. They can give the least bit of more promotion towards Gillian, a few more pushes and Gillian can stand strong in a place in the entertainment circle; of course, with Charlene, EEG probably wouldn't mind of throwing a few more bucks onto her to make all these fake appearances with her popularity, seeing what they've done for five whole years, even if it really doesn't go anywhere. I'm glad Gillian's thinking more about herself now! It's about time! I love her so much for being so caring, but I do hope that she'll start thinking about herself more. Gillian knows better than what we do, and she probably knows that Twins could very well be coming to an end, so she's gotta be planning ahead. If she starts showing her abilities now, then many people who are falsely influenced could change their minds about her, and EEG wouldn't have a good reason not to promote her.... or at least I hope so.
Yeah, pretty much started being a hardcore Gillian fan after the 2004 Concert. I didn't quite find Charlene attracting in movies either. Way before I even knew the name of Gillian Chung, I watched Funeral March. I like the plot, and that's all I can say about the movie. I had no hard impressions on the cast. Songs, to tell you the truth, the first song I really actually listened to that was Gillian-related was TLOL Themesong by Gillian and Kenny. I personally have a passion for duets, so I really liked it, and I went onto finding more Twins songs to listen to. I don't know why, but even though I heard Gillian's voice alone, I couldn't distinguish the two voices of Charlene and Gillian until the solos by each.
I think Gillian's voice is very unique, yet easily accepted by a listener. My dad said to me that Charlene's voice is actually pretty hard to listen for; at that time, I was like, "How hard is it? It's just she and Gillian in most of the songs. If I hear this voice is Gillian, the other has to be Charlene." My dad kinda rolled his eyes afterwards, haha. But I came to see what he meant when I listened to the audio files of the TwinsXAt17 concert. I could barely find Charlene's voice when the four of them sang together, yet I could hear Gillian's voice stick out. (I find another thing, if there's a person singing with her and Charlene, then Gillian allows herself to sing properly.) There's also this other song where EEG artists sing together; I can hear Gillian's voice in it, but this person from a forum claims that Charlene's in it too. If Charlene's in it, then I couldn't hear her. There are also times of where Twins sing songs of other people, and my dad would ask, "Is it Gillian?" and I would answer, "Gillian AND Ah Sa. You really can't hear Ah Sa's voice out, can you?"
I remember watching Monkey King too! I didn't care much about beauty of each Twin back then though. My cousin started watching it a bit after I did, and she's like, "Which one's which?" I said, "The older sister is Ah Sa." and she turned out to saying, "So the purple one, the prettier one's Gillian, right?" That's kinda when I came back to realizing that Gillian is really beautiful. I remember liking Zi Mei's storyline with LaJa (Jimmy) more than ZiLan's story with Monkey King because I thought it was pretty dumb of Monkey King being in love or wanting to marry ZiLan, etc. Isn't Monkey King supposed to be a monk there?!

Ahh! Gillian has fallen all the way down to 14%! I think the final result is going to be between Gillian, Fiona and Janice.
There has already been complaints from a Charlene fan about the KG collaboration at a Chinese forum. She said that they are Twins and so they should stick with singing together, but she claimed that it was okay for Charlene to sing her duet with Nic because the lyrics are written by Charlene. The Fishball song (sung by Charlene and Fu Wing) was okay too because there was a Twins version.

I wonder how she will react when Conscience Discovery hits the charts and KG get invited to sing on JSG.
Gillian said that she wishes to spend more time on movies this year, but I hope this doesn't give Mani an excuse to promote only Charlene's song when Twins release their solos this year. Plus, so far, I haven't heard of any new movies for Gillian..
Gillian's been down to 11%. I started voting when seeing that, but she's just at 13% now, with Janice - 27% and Fiona - 59%. Everyone else is at 0%. We gotta keep voting!
Talk about double standards.

Whether or not Charlene wrote the song or if there's a Twins version, she still sang without Gillian. Not to mention that Charlene only wrote one of the TWO songs for A Chinese Tall Story, and she sang two songs with Nicholas; where does that come in then?
I bet the Charlene fan wouldn't be saying that if Charlene's duets were the ones that are getting popular now. He/She is probably just jealous of Gillian's duet being more recognized and afraid that people are going to start giving credit to Gillian, instead of being blinded by the media of the false appearance of Charlene's popularity being higher than Gillian's.
