Next week are the female newcomers: GEM, Rannes, Colleen, etc thumbsup.gif Can't wait to watch them. Wonder how it will turn out whether the guys or girls will turn out better. Wonder who will the female singer to lead them?

AngelicDestiny: >.< The marriage announcement 7 days after the breakup thing is like something from a drama unsure.gif and to marry a known cheater.. unsure.gif She's getting a lot of crap from HK netizens (not that she cares, I'm sure)

oo Jaime is good? Held back on listening..guess I will now..


Kay would probably lead the females next week but I have a gut feeling that it'll be Kary.

I never really liked Vivian Chow, but with hearing all the breaking up and then getting married makes her more unlikable. Didn't she quote to the press [& also dissed the netizens] that without Joe, she wouldn't be the Vivian that she is today?

As for Jaime, I recommend 大勇...

Vocalist at 1:55 and 2:25 is really nice. SQUARE harmonizing sounds pretty good in here. William Chan sounds very raw and awful and I would put him on "mute" if I know he's singing.

Btw, is there a thread for "SQUARE"? I could not locate it? I am starting to like Rex's voice smile.gif

Hey, I created a topic for Square, please check it out under this link thumbsup.gif

Some Janice News - UPDATED!!:
Hidden Text:



I am absolutely thrilled for Janice! Is there a possible way that she'll receive a IFPI Award this year?

Edit; Sorry my mistake guys!
themissingpiece
^ To be honest, I'm happy for Janice on the sales but at the same time not happy. Because the success of the album would probably lead Leon to think it's the right path to go again in terms of the songs on the album. And Janice seriously needs some variety in her albums and limit the number of songs that Mark Lui works on. Seriously just look when Miriam got some kind of control back this year, how much better "Wonder Miriam" turned out than "Meridian"

A Leon directed movie.. blink.gif gosh how did "A Melody Looking" turn out? If Leon really wanted to help Janice gain some footing in the movie industry, put her in a supporting role for one of the big Media Asia productions with either Sammi or Miriam in the lead. Why not, when you have these big guns in the same company?

I thought she said that in the "breakup" announcement. She was blasting & blaming the media for her breakup and the criticisms of Joe blink.gif saying that without him, there wouldn't be her..and saying that he could afford to make that type of mistake..Let's just say, she's not very much liked on the HK boards at the moment.

QUOTE (blablablah @ Dec 20 2008 2 57 AM) *
omgggg i LOVEEEE 赤地雪!!!! I really like 可歌可泣 cuz its like a fusion of Joey's past hits. The melody/mood is really sweet like 華麗邂逅 and 零時零分, meanwhile the arrangement during the chorus and the bridge has a bit of a pop-rock flavour like 赤地雪 or 告解. Finally, Joey's performance is reminds me of her classic k songs like 痛愛 or 爭氣. I think its definitely catchy enough to be a hit next year. Though it doesn't have the BEST melody in the world, the whole concept is really good. I hope the whole album would be like that, a reflection of Joey's past hits and a combination of a bunch of different genres that Joey has tried before.


To me, I think the chorus of 可歌可泣 makes the song stand out from a song like 愛怪物的你 . Agreed that the melody is somewhat lacking, I expected more from CY Kong. It feels like a classic Joey song that she hasn't really done these past few years. But for me, the song is still far from the quality of 與蝶同眠 tongue.gif

oo for Metro, these singers are leading in the voting for Male/Female hit singers: Joey, Denise, Miriam, Andy Hui, Eason, Hins.

Two more albums:

Leon Lai <是我> (EP) - December 23
Deep Ng <Break It> - December 23

I'm going to assuming the last person to sing is Terry, and Det is the guy with the last name Det.

Can't wait for the females, IMO the females completely own the males. Can't even COMPETE whatsoever. It's like... totally different levels to me. =]


Yup that's Terry & Det.

I predict that the female newcomers will blow the males out of the water but let's wait and see tongue.gif

Actually in terms of this year, it feels like a complete ownage by the females (newcomers & the rest). It's RARE especially to see at 903 that the No.1 song & Album are both going to be going to the females.
blablablah
^yeah! and the fact that both Gold AND Silver females have higher airplays than the Gold male. Males used to OWN the females at CRHK.

are you sure its not 150,000? lol cuz "maan" = 10,000 and not 1,000,000. 15 million copies is really unlikely, impossible even. Nowadays not even Jay Chou or Utada Hikaru would be able to sell even a quarter of that in Asia tongue.gif

but either way, 150,000 is a lot for an HK singer. Depending on how high her sales were in HK alone, it definitely seems like a top contender for the Best Selling Album award at IFPI. Though iunno if it would count towards this year (2008) or next year (2009), not really sure how IFPI works.
tvbaddict
150,000 is hundred fifty THOUSAND, not million. 150 million is definitely impossible.

Mark Lui's be my guest episode was quite interesting & I find him quite adorable.

Cass Phang's I Sang The Boys' Songs >>>> Bondy Chiu's Ting.
blablablah
so apparently 四面楚歌 is considered a duet, which would give Kay a total of 722 airplays. Meanwhile 愛怪物 has been played 13 times so far this week (week ends wednesday) giving <In Motion> a total of 496 airplays. wow this actually works out to what i wanted all along, giving the Female Singer Gold award to Kay and the Album award to Joey biggrin.gif
themissingpiece
^ What? Since when? While I do think that 四面楚歌 is more of a duet..it has always been billed as a featuring performance everywhere and everyone has been counting it that way. Sounds like a bit of a cop-out.

Speaking of that Cass album, I loved her rendition of 取消資格!

Haven't had a chance to listen to Bondy's Ting..but I'm not familar with many of the songs that she covered, as I was with the ones Cass chose..But I did get a chance to hear Bondy's 祝君好 and I thought it was pretty good.

why didn't the ppl who tracked the airplays count that song's APs for Kay in the first place? o.O or did they not know it was considered a duet until recently?

I keep having mixed feelings everytime the prediction changes until I "mentally adjust" to it >.<

In the news about the East Asia concert who is the "ding classmate" that Andy was referring to?

AngelicDestiny: 十五萬 = 150 000 not 15 mil. 15 mil is definitely impossible, especially if DBSK sells like 400k per album. Furthermore "serving you" just came out this month? I read right here on AF that Janice sold like 400k within first 2 years (not sure whether it's worldwide or just in HK) and Joey sold 3 mil worldwide in the first 5 years. but nevertheless, congrats to Janice on the good album sales! biggrin.gif

^ "ting classmate" is referring to Miriam's current rumored bf, Real Ting.

Deep covered a lot of songs in his recent mini-concert and does justice to all those songs. WHY do we have more of William and not Deep? weeping.gif

-Mark went to college with Karen Mok & CY Kong, so when he and CY did their own music, they would tell Karen to sing in their demos so they could send it to HK and people would be interested in Karen's voice rather than their music (lol).
-James Wong was like a dad/mentor to him because his best friend is Lam Yin Lei's son. He also stated that 愛得太遲 is kinda written for James because him and 林夕 both feel the same way towards James after he passed away.
-He said that Stephy is actually pretty calm & stable in the studio (and he states that he's not only saying this because they're both in the same company) but sometimes people can get nervous/unexpected things can happen during live performances because of their headset/atmosphere/audience.
-The hardest person to work with was Sandy Lam because she's too perfect and they don't know which song to put out officially because most of their takes can be the official one.
-Janice was discovered through one of Jan Lamb's songs (backup vocals).

next weeks ep - leon, justin, kelly, copying people's songs etc...
---
I think Cass's album is better because even if I didn't know the song, I would be able to listen to it because of whatever reason... but Bondy's album is jazzy/boringish. I'm not familiar with most of the songs either, but if it was that good then it would capture the listener, and in this case I wasn't captured. Her voice is another story though =).

Joey's response to Andy mentioning her rumors: She wants to see him and Han Hong kissy kissy rofl... are there rumors between them?

^ LOL, Joey's response is pretty funny!!

tvbaddict: Thanks for the summary. LOL, both Lam Jik and Mark said Sandy is the most difficult singer. I'm curious to what Mark has to say about the copying (as probably all HK music fans would like to know). oo yeah, remember how you told me before Kay & Fiona coming over? What happened to that?

Was looking at the function notice for JSG..and for some reason, I only see Kelvin's name among the female newcomers..hmm, there should be a female singer to lead them..

k, awesome! Hopefully it won't be just us two, so everyone's free to join in (regular posters and silent readers). The prize is 7,000 AFz (enough for a Font Color change at our Little Corner!). Whoever gets the most points at the end of the 4 music ceremonies gets the prize.

So Metro is the first award ceremony. And since it's a joke to predict the awards for Metro, here's what we're going to do.

Predict:

(1) the music company that will win the most awards @ Metro (if you're not familiar with that, then refer to first post) - 5 points

(2) the 4 Stations Improvement Award
Gold - 3 pts
Silver - 2 pts
Bronze - 1 pt

Here's JSG's official website with all the nominations for the various awards: http://event.tvb.com/jsg2008/index.html

I'm not sure how they did the nominees for the song awards, since it's obviously more than the songs from the 1-3rd seasonal. Anyway some interesting things to note from the nominees that I've noticed...

- Twins is not on the group nominations; Charlene is billed solo for the female singer awards
- Albert Chau is not on the male newcomers list dry.gif
- They brought back the duet award (and Raymond/Vincy isn't on it!!) - OMG Kevin/Niki & Alex/Stephy & ESP. the TVB various artists (shudder) better not win over Pakho/Steph

Thanks princess_kazumi for the male newcomers vid. I liked Albert/Alex/Terry's parts. Looks like EEG is going to push Alex to be 09 newcomer? since he hasn't released yet.

Disappointingly for this week's JSG with the female newcomers, they paired off all the female newcomers and each pair sang a song. Then, all of them together sang "Christmas is All Around". No singer led the girls like last week Hins with the guys.

tvbaddict: Hmm Janice's live on JSG & such have been shaky though..gosh darn it, was looking forward to FixKay if it was true.

Another note from our little predicting awards thing, if you get the 3 names of the Improvement award for Metro right, then 3 pts regardless of Gold/Silver/Bronze placement.

Gigi's new Mandarin song (composed & lyrics by Gigi). Like it but 花火 is classic tongue.gif

The video posted by princess kazumi... wow Alex totally owned it. 狄易達 who sang after him paled in comparison. I watched the other videos, and Takki really owned Joey's song too. Maybe I should start paying attention to other newcomers besides GEM...
angelicdestiny
I saw the performance of GEM & Coleen, it was not as good but I really admire GEM for being a "pro" singer! She was really sick but still sounded great.
Performance:


I know that blah is a hardcore Joey fan, right? And I would like to know how many units of "In Motion" did Joey sell? 'Cause Wikipedia is claiming that Janice did better than Joey on record sales (not sure if this is true or not, but if it is... I'll be very happy!! tongue.gif) Urm.. I guess thats it.

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, GUYS!

I'm really disappointed that they didn't have a female singer to lead the female newcomers this year! They really couldn't get anyone, not even Kary or Vincy? Though I love love love the Colleen and GEM's performance!

WHAT?! I can't believe that they left out Albert Chau for male newcomers! Why did they do it? Didn't he released an EP this year? And leaving out Raymond/Vincy's duet and Kelvin/Kay's duet?! dry.gif bash.gif

Merry Christmas everyone!

I thought the Colleen & GEM performance was terrible. I never thought that I would say that the Linda & Myolie duet was better than a Colleen & GEM duet, but this was the case on JSG..Colleen was fine and really good, but GEM, I know this is the way she sings, but she did not regard Colleen. She just kept powering through the song - as if she was the only one singing and several times, you could see Colleen stopped singing to let GEM continue. GEM didn't really adjust to the song and her duet partner. Though it's understandable, GEM explained that it was because she was sick & they didn't know how the duet would sound during practice cuz she lost her voice.

Kelvin & Kay's song is billed as a featuring, that's why it was left off for JSG. Not sure but I don't think Raymond & Vincy's song charted.

JSG will be held at Star Hall and CRHK @ AsiaWorld Expo. Wonder why JSG chose Star Hall, heard that the entrance to Star Hall is not that great.

EDIT
Metro - is 12/26 at 7 pm, so tomorrow at 6 am EST is the cutoff (thanks boa_fan for the correction!!!
boa_fan929
^So...6AM EST?

Star Hall is pretty small....maybe TVB just wanted something closer to their studio?
themissingpiece
^ Yea 6am EST. Thanks for the correction. So just five of us are in this contest? Anybody else want to jump in?

I guess, since CRHK has to start their awards at 3 pm since the venue is so far away. Where is Metro being held?

oo and RTHK has announced that Lam Jik will be the winner of the Golden Needle award this year. Hmm, makes it more likely that Miriam will go to RTHK, doesn't it?
kencl
Merrrrry Christmas peoples~

I did not like Gem's performance. I totally agree with everything that themissingpiece said. GEM can really sing, her voice is very strong, but she is still unable to control her voice as well as I would have liked. Sometimes singing isn't just about the vocals or the skills, but rather how well your voice blends in with your partner, the bg music, and many other factors. To me, GEM still needs time to mature her voice, train herself so that her voice doesn't plough through every other thing in a song. Nonetheless that performance shows what strong vocals she has.

I like Linda/Myolie's duets... I found their voices soothing. But I am reluctant to accept either of them as a full time singer, after watching so many of their series, it just seems so awkward for me.

Anxiously waiting for the results of the awards ceremonies...

yeah "In Motion" sold over 30,000 copies. Iunno if its a fair comparison though cuz Joey never announced her sales throughout Asia and Janice never announced her sales in HK only. Though i do think its likely that "Serving You" might've sold more cuz 150,000 in Asia is a lot nowadays for a Cantonese album. Still, 30,000 is not bad considering how her other first tiered competitors only sell around that amount or less tongue.gif

100% agree. Particularly the first line of what I quoted from you! Put so well tongue.gif For GEM, who has such an explosive voice, I think it's probably harder for her than other singers to do. And while Sherman & GEM have some similarities in their voices, this is probably once aspect that Sherman is better at. But GEM is still very young so that's definately something that she can work on.

Another JSG female newcomer duet:

Rannes Man x Fiona Fung 黑色幽默. Rannes TOTALLY rocks thumbsup.gif. Though Rannes & Fiona's voices don't blend well together, they are both so much better during the solo sections.

LOL, omg looks like we ALL got the company wrong..I thought Andy Lau didn't show up and he still won that much? Universal actually came in 3rd. A strong showing by EEG.

East Asia - 26
EEG - 25
Universal - 22

Warner did pretty well for having 3 artists in competition for awards.

I thought SHE won like 4...anyways yeah i know GEM is a newcomer, lol...but still...

hmmm why is there much interest in which company gets the most awards...the awards are about the singers, not the companies...when i watch mtv, billboard awards, etc. you don't hear about which companies came out on top.

that top 21 list is bad...lol, im just waiting to see rthk...and maybe tvb/crhk...
i have a feeling GEMs going to luck out on tvb, but she has all but secured newcomer female for crhk. and of course with a #1 hit on rthk, she has secured that position there.

Predictions for Media Award:
1. Kay Tse
2. Joey Yung
3. Hard to predict, Eason or Khalil; but dont be surprised if Ivana or Hins make some noise.


I really didn't think eason nor leo had a good year; yet their songs charted well...
if kay doesn't get golden song for all, it'll be a tragedy

so happy to see Kay have tears of joey along with her husband Louis when she received the metro award
themissingpiece
^ We're interested in which company gets the most awards, because that was one of the things we were supposed to predict for our music award ceremonies contest for 7,000 AFzs. Plus, a lot of times, it's the company making the moves for the awards for the singers and it's just interesting to see how the 3 big companies fight it out and which one comes out on top. It used to be EEG ruling the awards, but it's gotten so much tighter over the years.

Yeah I think GEM has gold on RTHK/CRHK, but JSG..yeah, not going to happen.

Personally, I doubt Kay will get the Media award.
Jump Then Fall
^who do you think will get the media award then? even if she doesn't get it, she deserves it, her wedding invitation song was the hittest song. it would be a happy story to spin away from the boring usual winners...joey, denise, miriam, leo, eason, hacken, andy, and get some more competition which makes the industry more healthy. i am a joey fan, but i'm sick of her winning all the time
blablablah
^lol yes i do post here a lot tongue.gif

um, Joey has only won the award twice, how can you be sick of Joey winning the media award? lol its Eason fans that should be sick of him winning the media award whistle.gif jkjk

I doubt Kay will get the media award as well, though it might be kinda close. That's cuz Joey is nominated/has a chance at winning in more categories. At CRHK, Kay will get Top Song, but dats not separate from Top 10 so towards the media award its pretty much the same as any other song award. Kay will get Gold/Silver, but Joey will also get Gold/Silver. Kay will get Favourite Song, but if they follow the AP Joey will get Best Album. Meanwhile both have equal chances at winning Favourite Female. So at CRHK, there's a chance Joey and Kay will win the same # of awards.

At JSG, Joey definitely has the edge. Aside from Most Popular Female, Joey will probably also win a mando song award and a commercial song award, as well as a Top 10 song award. Meanwhile Kay will only get a Top 10 award and perhaps an Improvement award.

At RTHK, i actually think Joey will win the same # of awards or more. Kay will the World's Best Chinese Song Award, but Joey will win Best Selling Female as well as Country's Most Popular HK Female Singer. Meanwhile, both will win a Top Ten Song and a Top Ten Artist award, and both has an equal chance at Best Female Singer.

so i think Joey has the biggest chance in winning the Media Award.

and LOL at our "scores", it looks like we have our own media award thing going on tongue.gif aha

Do you guys think that Miriam has won too many awards than she should've deserved? It didn't seem like she had too great of a year but yet she's tied with Kay, Denise, and Hins for the current most number of awards. Same with Eason... didn't he focus more on the mando market this year?

Hi BREAKneckspirit! haha we have at least 5 JGers here now

disappointed that "Grow up with me" won instead of "sleeping with butterflies" or "treadmill"

I think Joey is going to win the media award as well. Kay's probably going to be the big winner at 903 but with the other 2, I think it's hard for her to get a lot of awards compared to Joey.

My eyes are dizzy from reading that WHOLE section... oh dear. 137 awards... seriously what the freaking hell. Aiyahh I hate Metro.

And besides, I just followed everyone for Universal, but I can't believe EEG pulled through with SO many awards. I understand Joey and Charlene pulling through, but I guess I forgot about William,Yumiko,Deep trio pulling a fair decent number, as well as Raymond,Sherman,Ken and Vincy pulling in more 'pork awards'...

I totally disagree with the newcomers, 陳偉霆 over 徐浩 and 鐘嘉欣 over ALL of the other female aritsts... >.<

Ugh I'm not even gonna bother analyze the results... simply too much to complain about.

Nonetheless I'm still happy for 王菀之,張敬軒,謝安琪. =)

The 21 list song is still okay, with the exception that how come I don't see Kay or Hins on it...
陪我長大, 世界請看著我, and 一個人 seemed wrong. 如果碰到你的臉, "與蝶同眠" and "Easterly Winds" should have won in my opinion, but hey it's Metro~ =)


I totally support thylakoid. Miriam is HIGHLY overrated and she does not deserve the many awards given to her. Don't wanna offend people but I find Miriam is the singer that slipped the most in terms status, or should I say likeability of songs? I personally lost all interest in Miriam. Eason is just Eason and he has to keep winning awards, well cuz its Eason... >.< Just the name Eason pretty much equals 2-3 awards, so it's no surprise that he took home 5. But I do agree the two did have a subpar year when compared to Kay/Hins/other singers.

Question: What's the Predictions for Media Award??
Question: Is it just me, or does it feel like Stephanie and Jade should get more awards at Metro, despite me being a fan of both of them, I feel that both are flying under the radar and not being recognized.
Question: I finally know what was bothering me, where's GOLDLABEL? I'm slow... what happened?

kencl~~

really? how come theres names i don't recognize lol.

i agree, miriam won too many awards....for having 1 good song this year.

i also think eason is highly overrated this year...i mean 5 awards? he's popular and all, but his songs weren't memorable this year

since i'm an avid rthk listener, i'll tell you, kay will get the song awards, but joey might get the female awards...but the female award is still a toss up imo.
i hope kelvin kwan gets something, he did well on rthk.

will be cool to see who gets media award....should be a close competition this year...unlike previous years

last year leo was clear fav
and 2 years before those, eason.

kencl: Paco & Gold Label boycotted Metro.

Of the 4 with 4 awards each (Kay, Miriam, Hins, Denise), Miriam had a better year charting than 2 of them (Hins, Denise). Kay has the edge at 903, but otherwise Miriam had a good year (much better than last year - she fought her way back into 903's Top 3 Female singers). So I think her 4 awards are well deserved. and Eason is just Eason, plus GL was a no-show, meaning nothing for Leo.

If we're talking undeserved, Andy Lau with 3 awards.

^who do you think will get the media award then? even if she doesn't get it, she deserves it, her wedding invitation song was the hittest song. it would be a happy story to spin away from the boring usual winners...joey, denise, miriam, leo, eason, hacken, andy, and get some more competition which makes the industry more healthy. i am a joey fan, but i'm sick of her winning all the time


I'm not saying Kay doesn't deserve it. This is her first year being formally recognized for a Gold Song by the 4 stations and this is a start, and like boa_fan and blah has described, she really doesn't have an edge going into the other award ceremonies, besides CRHK, and Joey should do fine in that as well. If all it took was a hit song to get the media award, Hins would have gotten it last year.

Plus, you can count out Denise/Leo/Andy Lau for the media award. These 3 all have 1 station that will not award them.

^ you mean crhk....lol ppl find it a fair ceremony. i just think not and completely disagree with half of their top 10 songs of the year each year. other than tvb, that is 2nd to tvb as to the most unfairest...but then again, this is my opinion

hins didn't have the best song last year in terms of overall performance, it was leo ku's loving too late...

if you look back 2 years, eason had the 2 best songs in sunset...something, and his friend song and mt. fuji's song split in 2006 in the awards ceremony i think.

in 2004, my pride was best song and joey won the media award...i think having the best song is a good indication of the media award...i mean of course if you just have the song it's not enough, but kay is int he running for at least silver and bronze for favorite female singer in some cermonies
blablablah
^lol i think u've got all ur years messed up. Loving Too Late was in 2006 and that was when Leo was the fav to win the media award. And My Pride was 2003 not 2004 tongue.gif

and i agree with themissingpiece, one hit song isn't enough. When Joey won in 2003 it wasn't just cuz of My Pride, she had several big hits that year as well as a good concert series. Same as Eason in 2005, it wasn't just cuz of "sunset", it was cuz U87 was an amazing album had had several #1 songs. Kay did improve HEAPS this year but she didn't really have THAT many hit songs this year compared with Joey in 2003/2004, Eason in 2005/2007, Leo in 2006.
