Is the poll over?? Cause usually when you vote it will bring you to a page with links back to the male and female polls and the results...It doesn't show it anymore and I don't understand what it says.....
My method was to keep clicking on the picture...pause every other second with each click before/without letting it transfer me to another page that it does everytime we vote...<---(does this make sense??) I think it still counts the votes.
(An online translation) It says: Sorry, please use a cellular phone to continue browsing the Orisun site.
I'm not sure if the poll is over yet but um oh well, at least we all contributed fairly and this poll is meaningless when one person can vote up to 10,000+ votes each so let's resume our normal discussion now.

Eh, those Fiona Fans definitely have a voting weapon. :xiao2:

Wow so much more new posts since I posted that one comment a while ago...
I read back at some recent old posts just right now and I just wanted to say that about Gillians voice. I love at how versatile it is (if versatile is the right word). If you listen to most of Twins Cds, from their first album to the most recent one, you can see Gillians voice differs in each cd. Like one cd its soft and sweet (Trainee Cupid), another is strong and childish (Evolution), and for each song its different too. This is what I love about Gillians voice. She tries out so many new styles to sing to fit with the song. While sorry to say this about Charlene but I usually find hers pretty much the same. I mean it can go high and soft/low, but I dont really see that much a new style of singing for her parts in the songs. And how some people say that Gillian has a soft voice, it really can be strong and loud. Like the EG duet 'How Bad' for example. I found that the way she sang that song compared to Twins usual songs to be very different. She seemed much more bold and stronger when singing with him. The only times I found Gillian to be singing kind of bad was around the end of 2004/beginning of 2005 when she kept on messing up and forgetting lyrics, but then the thing about that is that I think she might have lost some confidence in singing, and is currently regaining it back. Because I remember during 2004 when she was filming for House of Fury, she hurt like her throat or something to where she couldnt really sing for a while. And maybe that made her lose a bit of confidence (kind of like Joey when she lost her voice, but I think that made Joeys confidence higher once it got better and made her singing stronger), and maybe Gillian is in the same situation as Joey.
Also about the deletion of the kiss scene in 49 days, Im kinda mad about it. I mean I know its a small little peck on the cheeks, but still, us Gillian/Twins fans never get to see Gillian kissing a guy. The only one we ever really get to see is Gillian kissing Charlene! And most of us Gillian/Twins fans (or just me maybe) have been anticipating this scene, even though its something small, but its still considered as an improvement to Gillians restriction with EEG. Because lets say that if they never deleted the scene and we got to see it, and EEG gets a good response from it and that it didnt ruin her 'jade girl' image, then they might let her loose and give her more opportunities to act in movies to where she can kiss guys. Becuase yeah, I really dont want to wait until shes 30 or something to finally be able to see her finally giving away her 'first on screen kiss'. because first of all, thats kinda old of an age to begin with to be giving it away, and what if they 'retire' by then? I remember I read somewhere that Twins wanted to leave the ET around age 30 to start a family, and if that really happens then we never get to see her give it away!
Hehe, one more thing, lets say if Gillian was able to leave EEG and be under a new company/management. Do you think she should?
I personally think she should. Maybe if she was under a new management, she wont have her movie restrictions and be able to produce many good movies for us to watch, and wont be considered as 'the less acting talent' twin. And under a new management, she might have more time to rest and improve on her singing skills. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that she gets breathless easily so she cant really sing that high and sing for that long, so with the time to practice, she can improve to sing more ranges of songs.
Sorry if this is so long, just wanted to voice my opinion out even if no one reads it.
GILLIAN SUPPORTER!
In terms of singing, I first heard Twins singing with Edison in the group duet "Threes A Party" (??)

because at that period of time, I was still into Edison. I recognized that there were two different female voices intermixed with Edison's but couldn't detect who was who. I later discovered that the voice I enjoyed listening to belonged to Gillian. That was an energetically fast song and I completely loved how Gillian's voice glowed throughout the song. It was sweet yet fierce perfect for a fast song. I'm not discriminating against Sa but I didn't like her acting nor did I like her singing either and I couldn't be bias regards to beauty because I absolutely had no idea which voice belonged to who but turned out loving Gillian in both areas. Gillian's voice is like how Little_Purple_Bell described it, it's versatile and clear. In their Mandarin album, I couldn't even tell half of the time what Sa was singing but immediately when Gillian's voice repeated the chorus and alternated verses, I finally understood the song better due to clarity. Hm, Gillian's voice to me is very sharp, distinct, and passionately powerful. It can pierce the audience's/listener's heart because when I heard her sing Kite and Wind, Double Lost Valentines, Best Selection, Thank You For Your Love, No Tears in Moscow, and her solos My Father and Mother...my eyes immediately became watery. I loved No Tears in Moscow because Mandarin just makes Gillian's voice sweeter and more flexible especially while watching the beautiful MV, ah- my heart was so overwhelmed with bliss because this was actually the first MV I've watched that focused on Gillian more. I mean, did you guys see how many close pretty shots the camera zoomed in on Gillian?? Wha~

:yay: Another MV that I totally heart is the TVB version of LifeSaver! Not only can Gillian channel out the emotions of the song perfectly but the camera angles are awesome, capturing her true beauty.
How Bad was a nice duet. That was the very first song I heard Gillian sing without Sa. Her voice is different and adapts so well.
Well, to be honest...EEG is only using the "Jade" image reason as a vague excuse because it does sound quite logical in the beginning but if you were to examine the reason closely, it's a bunch of controlling BS.

Going at this rate, don't know when we as fans will see her kiss onscreen.
Gillian easily becomes breathless because she has never been a healthy person ever since childhood. Remember how Gillian said that she used to be an extremely ill baby/child so her mom was always constantly worried? Yeah, so it's not that Gillian is a horrible singer and cannot control her respiration, she's constantly sick even as an adult plus the heavy restless work EEG demands from her all accumulates. Gillian is a strong person, even if she's sick she won't expose any symptoms or let the entire world know unlike Sa. I mean, how many times has Gillian excused herself due to being ill?? Hm, only a few times or close to none! But I'm always hearing that Sa is sick therefore that happened or whatnot.
Gillian should leave EEG because EEG is breaking apart. I think EEG's shining time is nearing an end so it would be better if Gillian embark on a solo career in an agency that truly appreciates her talents.
Oh, hey I really like your avatar of Gillian. Is that Gillian with blue hair or is it just me?? AH- She could totally become a another Blue Hair Pepsi Family Member next to Edison!

Nope, I love really long replies/comments. More discussions can be made that way, so if you ever want to post another long reply, go right on ahead!
Anyways, I like how Gillian's voice is versatile as well. Charlene's voice more or less sounds the same regardless of the song type. Uh huh, there was that short period of time where Gillian seemed to be lost in her career of singing, and I hate it how people hold on to that for like forever. I've read news about it during that end of 2004 and beginning of 2005 period of how she forgets lyrics and Charlene sometimes sings her part for her, but that doesn't even happen now, does it? But Charlene fans hold on to that and whenever there are discussions of how Twins sing, they bring that up everytime. I've heard Charlene screw up during live performances too. She screwed up during a live duet with Gillian and Aaron Kwok; she had hum one or two lines of the song because she forgot the lyrics. See any Gillian fans frequently bringing stuff like that up besides that I just wrote it to give an example? I believe Gillian has way more confidence now because she knows she can make it even on her own from her solos.
GILLIAN SUPPORTER!
Sa fans are always attacking Gillian for old old reasons which only comes to show that now that Gillian has improved tremendously and getting more attention for it, they're afraid that Sa might be too overshadowed so they have to throw in useless and pointless debates to stir up the dumb reasons that support the Anti-Gillian group. Sa has messed up several times and even when she knows that she sings horrible live when yelling into the microphone, she still continues to yell perhaps believing that the audience doesn't notice it or her voice would eventually grasp the drift??

Haha! Gillian surely should have more confidence now because she's been receiving nothing but compliments from her recent live performances.
Can't wait until her solos come out!!

Gillian said in the recent Amy magazine that there was a period whereby she hated singing. She didn't have the time to practice and improve and so she had to do what she can on stage. This, however, only lead to criticism. She said that it was her singing teacher, Christine Samson, who made her fall in love with singing once again. If Gillian really has the chance to leave EEG, then I surely hope she does. EEG does have very good marketing strategies, but EEG artists are hated by a lot of people simply because they belong to EEG.
Sometimes, the decisions EEG come up with make no sense to me though. At present, I'm still not sure how kissing in a movie is going to ruin Gillian's image. Okay, Gillian has young fans, but doesn't Charlene too? How come they allow Gillian and Charlene kiss time and time again? Surely a girl kissing a girl is more likely to ruin an artist's image then a girl kissing a guy!
The Poll! I can't believe the rate at which Fiona and Janice's votes are going up by! I don't think everyone knows you can vote as many times as you like!
EEG are like dictators, they have no logic, no senses, or reasons. They terminate those they dislike and support those they favor. Some people mentioned that EEG are smart with their market strategies; therefore, there must be a good reason why EEG promotes Sa more of the two. Actually, EEG doesn't have market skills at all! Why? Because they believe they own the market with their heavy promotions so they can build an artist from scratch like what they've been doing all along but sorry dudes, the monopoly is nearing an end so even with expensive promotions, it's not going to successfully trick the public who influence the market anymore. Seriously, if EEG did have market strategies then would have already fully promoted Gillian because Gillian is popular as Twins and on her own. She brings tremendous profits even without the heavy promotions that are reserved for Sa and think about how much more proftis she can produce if she was given those promotions?? SO EEG only works accordingly to their own bias judgment not necessarily for money or market influences.

That's true! I've sort of given up now. I also think Fiona fans (maybe not Janice's) have some sort of way of voting. Orisun could have made this poll a little more fair and restricted everyone to vote every 10 minutes or something.
More pictures from 49 days:

Just a week before the movie is out!
Thanks for the pictures. I was about to say:

! Haha.
And it's funny because out of all Chinese Females currently, some prettier than Gillian, some more talented, some more popular, and some better etc. BUT my heart still cannot resist supporting Gillian. I'm a girl and I LOVE :starizrolleyes: Gillian. I don't know why either but Gillian has my full attention and support no matter what! It's odd because I've always supported male artists until I saw Gillian, then I had a switch of heart!! Haha. No, it's not that way.

I love Gillian as a Jie Jie, as a person I admire and believe deserves the best and trust me, there are very few people I extend this courtesy to.
OH! Um, does anyone have the TVB version of Lifesaver mpeg?? I really enjoy that MV but have been watching it from YouTube! Thanks!GILLIAN SUPPORTER!!!
