A-list Chinese pop singers and musicians gathered at the National Olympic Center on Friday night for the annual Beijing Pop Music Awards gala, one of the most influential events that honors excellence in the industry. Pop veteran Wang Leehom dominated this year’s ceremony by notching four awards, while veteran rocker Wang Feng followed with three wins. Jane Zhang won Best Female Artist for the fourth time in a row, which brought her to tears rarely seen from the singer, especially as she thought of how she missed her mom and how as a busy aspiring artist, she had few opportunities to see her and talk to her. Returning veteran Han Hong beat out Chris Li Yuchun for most popular female artist. Song Zuying, the queen of folk, made a special surprise appearance.

B&W Fann Wong Stills From "The Last Night of Madame Chin"

December 2, 2009 | Posted in Mainland China,Singapore,Television, Tagged ,

I haven’t been paying attention to dramas entirely but these stills from The Last Night of Madame Chin caught my attention – Fann Wong, top Singaporean actress, looks so beautiful. Almost like Shirley McLaine circa the Apartment, but more regal. Past stills from the series here.

Has anyone seen The Last Night of Madame Chin? How is it? It seems to be doing well in China in ratings.   Either way it seems markedly improved in production quality from the last Studio Fan Bingbing series, and upward trends are always nice.

Shu Qi and Kelly Lin, arguably Taiwan's two top leading ladies help raise money for Typhoon relief

Natural disasters are always so painful, but one of the nice things is seeing all the people come together to help one another. Jet Li , Andy Lau joined celebrities in Taiwan with answering phones on Friday night as two televised fundraisers brought in more than 1.1 billion Taiwan dollars (33 million US dollars) for aid for the typhoon that is estimated to take 500 lives in Taiwan. In one village, Hsiao Lin suffered a massive landslide where almost no one survived.

Fusion Band

After being inactive for half a year, Fusion will be back with a second album. When asked why the long absence, their company said that they’ve been concentrating on their next album which is reaching the end stages of its production. Now they’ll be starting performances again to warm up for their new release.

This is probably the best music news in this batch, the rest are just sad ones about company matters.

Hit-5 vs Cotton Candy on Mix-Box

Xue Zhiqian did a great job trying to get votes for his company juniors, Cotton Candy and looked hot while doing it.

Xue Zhiqian opened up the show with a performance of Let Go, one of only two tracks from his latest album that he didn’t write. He also later on did a great rendition of a song he did write, his first hit, Ren Zhen De Xue. But the show was not about Xue Zhiqian, but two other artists. As suspected, Cotton Candy was great, but surprisingly, HIT-5 wasn’t bad either. A lot better than I thought their performance would be.

Singaporean singer Yong Bang was the older musician supporting HIT-5. and Gao Xiaosong was the CMO judge. His credits include producing and sometimes writing for the likes of legends like Liu Huan, Lao Lang, and Na Ying.

Visit Official HIT-5 for the rest. Thank you for putting up perhaps the first full episode from this show. I really like how it gives new artists a platform for exposure and I hope Hunan keeps improving on it.

JS Releases a New EP, Somewhere

May 18, 2009 | Posted in Music,Singapore, Tagged

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gOWtaXNDSw]

This was released on May 12th. I know I’m quite late, but that was also the date fo the one year anniversary for Sichuan so I was a bit distracted. JS is a Singaporean brother sister duo that like most people, I started paying attention to after I heard their amazing theme song for Chinese Paladin, Sha Po Lang. Justin composes the songs, and Sophia has such a soothing voice, which makes them a perfect creative team. Somewhere is kind of new direction for them, as they play with an electronic style and I really like it. Even though the EP really should be called a single, since it mainly consists of different versions of the song Somewhere, it has a remixed trance version of Sha Po Lang, and that by itself makes trying this EP worth trying. If you wan to hear the other versions of Somewhere, this youtube account is upoading the rest.

Epic Post 3: What Jackie Chan Was Really Talking About

April 24, 2009 | Posted in Hong Kong,Interview,Mainland China,Singapore,Taiwan, Tagged ,

"I slowly feel like we Chinese needs to control [note that he says "yao guan/should control/needs to control," not "yao bei guan/should be controlled")

Jackie Chan: "I slowly feel like we Chinese need to control [note that he says "yao guan/should control," not "yao bei guan/should be controlled")

This is a transcript of the interview that people have been having a field day with reporting on left and right, getting wrong, and generally taking out of context. First of all, keep in mind this was all in response to a question about film regulation in China. Second, remember that in Jackie Chan’s perspective, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Singapore = ethnically mostly Chinese, so it has nothing with racism.

Vicki Zhao and Chen Kun celebrates Valentine's Day together as the leads of movie Mulan, which will also feature Vitas

Valentine’s Day seems to be a popular time for releasing new songs, here are some our favorite songs that are previews for future albums by Tan Weiwei, Kimi Qiao Renliang and Kym Jin Sha.

I forgot to say – Tan Weiwei
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl9Y-0qSkX8]

2nd place of Super Girls 2006 Tan Weiwei recently signed on the the recording company of Huayou, a seed company of the Hurray! group that also owns mainland Huayi and Taiwanese Seed. She released her new single and her album is due in March. “I forgot to say” is probably my favorite pop song from her so far. It manages to show off her vocals very naturally. Tan Weiwei began as a folk singer of mainly Tibetan-styled ethnic songs, which I adore. She achieved relative success and had released an album, several singles and had starred in a musical before competing in Super Girls in 2006. She also performed Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in Vienna’s Golden Hall, which is a great feat for anyone.
