i always thought there was a topic on himm. he is a great singer and actor but he does drugs??

i think he did it once (but i guess he can still be doing it) and he got caught and did some time i think? after that i think he kinda went down...

but he's been acting a bit again, like the last i saw him was in the monkey king, and 6th floor rear flat

if i remember correctly, i think he currently finished filming some series in taiwan or china with lawrence and ada about doctors, kinda reminds me of healing hearts

I used to like this guy, but what happened to him lately ?? I liked him during the chiense series "file of justice". Hes a good actor as well.

wat happened to him? i heard tat he got captured for selling drugs in macau

I think William got caught taking drugs in Taiwan. He denied it at the time but he was found guilty though. Heard from reports after the drugs thing that he's wife divorced him. He has a really good voice and someone you would call a singer. I think its a shame he took drugs because he's singing career was on the rise. Nowadays he's still around appearing at functions and movies but he's not as popular as before. If I remember correctly he released a compilation Cd a few months ago, so he's still releasing CDs but not new songs. Not sure if people are still interested in buying his music now. Because when I was in HK in June, a CD shop was selling a greatest hits and new songs CD that William released in Jan/Feb for only HK$5. And the CD was placed at the counter so everyone could see it. I think they were trying to flog the CD cheaply because it wasn't selling well. I think that just sums up Williams singing career now.

really.. interesting.. i always thought he had a very gud voice for singing.. was pwetty gud.. but him drugs? really. .gosh mate...
Guess kinda ruin his reputation...

the news of drug make him quite down la! so sad......! can't hear much his luv songs! his luv songs r the best! which make him famous!!!

GOOD SINGER, GREAT VOICE...
SUPPORT HIM!

too bad he has no new cds recently, i would buy them...~

my friend took a PICTURE WITH HIM b4. i was like OMG OMG u lil. haha i dunno how but he managed to get a pic taken with him.

He's a bit daggy. Definitely not a favourite of mine. He's singing is alright though. The voice don't match the face.

I like him very much. He's a great singer. I like his series too! Esp. Healing Hands and Files of Justice.

isn't he also married. yeah havn't seen him for a long time.

William has a smooth voice, I like his "More Kiss More Sad" song even though it is a bit old....and his TVB Series "A Case of Misadventure" was good and full of laughs.

hehe....her is so fanny he allways have ugly sunglasses but i yhink he very love them

William So's great in File of Justice and also in another ancient series which I cannot remember the title now. His acting is not bad but has he stop acting in series already and only concentrate on singing?

William So will never release a canto album again

William So was at a singing competition as a guest. William, who has not released an album for 3 years, announced that he will never release a Cantonese album again. William, who sang until his mouth bleed said that he only ever managed to sell a few 10 000s of albums in Hong Kong. William said, “I will be concentrating on the mandarin market. I am planning to release a mandarin album next year. Only 3 types of singers do well in Hong Kong, they are like Twins, Donald Cheung and Paula Tsui rule over the Hong Kong market.”

Pity him after he get caught in drug abused, his familiarity was dripping down

Well that is true what he said abt what hk people like, the twins, eww they can't sing though. Too bad he doesn't want to break into the hk market thopugh and opt for the easy option of the mandarin market.

They HK market needs good singers, and i thought he was one of the classics.

Enjoy...its very touching with various of stars singing this song is about things that are going on in the world ...very meaningful...u have to watch it!!!

2005 - HK Stars - We Are The World

I think he was quite unlucky after being caught for the drug abuse. Later his wife divorce him and now his album is not selling. I think he has a good acting skill and probably he can act in TVB series!I think many people like him in Healing HAnds

I love his theme song in Fate Twisters, its really good. He has a great voice, I hope he sings cantonese songs again, even tho he doesn't want to release another canto album.. man its a waste if he doesnt because his voice is great!!

the last series i saw him in was an ancient series where he was like an inspector.
i didnot know he does drugs.....sort of weird.

nooooo! poor william so...nobody in this world likes him.

Alright time to get the story straight. I've read a lot of articles and had my dad (cause i cant read chinese) read a lot of newspapers.... William So use to be married. He was married to a mean lady. He was SUPER Happy at one point in his life till he discovered that his wife was spending alllllll of his money for everyday trips to the spa and buying crap. She was a golddigger

His wife led him to do drugs...i think it was ecstasy. He got caught and was arrested.

He vowed to never get married again.

I miss his music and albums....

I don't think he'll release anymore albums. He said he's finished with cantonese music. I haven't heard him sing canto in forever....All is left, his old stuff.

I was digging through my old CDs and stuff today and i realized i have a couple of William's CDs. And I really like the song he sang for 'Gorgeous' with Kit Chan and also the ending theme song for Healing Hands. I remember one of my good friends use to go crazy over him and collects all his albums. It was around 6-7 years back.

William was a really good singer, and he didn't act to bad too. Honestly, i didn't wanna believe and actually still don't believe that he actually did drugs. But the influence of media is so strong that i brought him down.

He's really good, and hopefully he does sing again. Really miss his songs

his new cd just came out! After five years

Who says no one in this world likes him? I like him a lot, he's such a superb singer that there is not one song sang by him that I don't love to death and didn't touch me. And he's good in acing too in Healing Hands, too bad the drug case thing truncated his career, but I think his singing ability is too strong to be affected even by such a serious case, I believe is his breakthrough day will still come.

His songs, or should i say his singing is really touching, he really can bring out all the emotions, and in the recent One Million Star he keeps mentioning it comes from experience, makes me think he is very hurt by his ex-wife, aww (his sad songs).... I hope his new album is a blast and he gains his popularity again, everyone deserves a new chance...

he's so funny and blunt on xingguangdadao!!

i love it when he confronts xiaopang teacher..hehehe

great hk singer representative on the show, b/c he can actaually sing!

Chilam Cheung, Patrick Tam & William So Will Be Knocking on Eason's Door in the Middle of the Night

http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php...&pid=501981Chilam and others "bump" into Eason

The Miss You Much Leslie concert, held in memory of Leslie Cheung and what would've been his 52nd birthday, was held in Chongqing on September 12, 2008. Eason Chan, who was promoting his November 15, 2008 Moving On Stage 16 concert in Chongqing that very same day appeared to be living in the same hotel as the guest performers of the Miss You Much Leslie concert. Unaware that they were living in the same hotel, when told, Chilam (Julian) Cheung, Patrick Tam and William So came up with a "plan". The three men told reporters not to alert Eason of their living arrangements and stood there mischievously like three children while coming up with their "plan." William says, "Let us find out his room number and we'll knock on his door like ghosts to give him a scare." Chilam then says, "We'll wait until the middle of the night, at 2pm, and give him a call telling him to wake up for his late night bathroom run." Upon hearing this "plan" two other artists standing on the side gave their approval, including Nnadia Chan who laughed at their "plan."
