SuperVC and Laure Shang on MTV True Live

In a world where music can be produced with computers, and singing often means lipsynching, there’s something precious about live music – especially on TV. MTV True Live is a series that I’ve really enjoyed. It has the perfect atmosphere for live music (not that it’s really live since we’re not there) – enough audiences for artists to get excited in, but not concert-like, so the artists can really feel comfortable and interact with the music and band.

Artists who have gone on include Yoga Lin & Jeno (Jade) Liu, Kay Tse & Chen Chusheng, Jane Zhang & Zhang Yadong, Zhang Jie & Tan Weiwei, Laure Shang & Super VC and Shin & Li Yuchun. Some highlights from each show, including Jane Zhang’s beautiful cover of Sting’s Fragile, cute duets between Yoga Lin and Jeno Liu, and a powerful duet by Tan Weiwei and Zhang Jie. Laure Shang and SuperVC’s episode is not on YouTube, but you can watch it on tudou here.
Extra points for figuring out what  all of the pairs have in common other than the boy-girl pairings!

Top Combine starts the year with pink

eeMedia releases their New Year calendar with all of its major artists. Including Top Combine, Li Yuchun, Meteor Shower cast, Jiang Yingrong, Tan Weiwei, and other Super Girls and Boys. This is the first year that eeMedia has released a family calendar, shot during the same time as their awesome family MV this year. Signs of eeMedia finally being organized under Long Danni? Definitely.

Rest of the calendar under the cut. Please, will someone put this up in the forum? (more…)

The thrice previously posted on eeMedia MV for their 2010 theme Kuai Le Chu Fa – has been released!  It was composed by Top Combine’s Ma Xueyang, which I imagine is cheaper for eeMedia than last year, where they hired Da Zhang Wei (the flowers) to compose, and frankly I like Ma’s better. It suits its purpose – it makes you want to start bouncing around while you put up holiday decorations.

Super Girls 2009 iBubble commercial

Going backwards from 2009, the the first 2009 Super Girl to release a MV was top 60 Luo Zhenhuan for her new EP. Zeng Yike will be the first to release her new album. See her album cover (with a sheep!) here. Meanwhile, Jiang Yingrong sings the new theme for Maybelline. You can hear the recorded version here, or you can watch the much superior live version:

Other than HQ dramas and series, much better interviews and a superior icon (cute fox versus creepy eye, make your pick), Sohu has just gave us another reason why it’s so much better than Sina. Only Sohu can follow the cast of “Chengdu I love You” from Chengdu to Venice to Korea, and shoot exclusive photoshoots that range from a masquerade ball to this.

While the shortened version of “Chengdu, I love you” was the closing film for the Venice Film Festival, the only one of its actors with claim to Chengdu residency, Tan Weiwei, took the time to take this gorgeous photoshoot in Venice courtesy of Sohu. I love the vibrancy of the colors and the gorgeous mask.
Tan Weiwei’ recently released one of those “hot” albums that features a compilation of already popular songs that is generally done by little-known singers like Yu Kewei before Super Girls, which makes me worried about Tan Weiwei’s music career. But before that, she had that gorgeously underpromoted single – I forgot to say. More pictures under the cut.

I was wondering what Liu Yifei has done recently to deserve being on Harpaar’s Bazaar, probably the most successful magazine in China until I noticed the “Jewelry” appendage. I didn’t know they had a jewerly version of their magazine. They really must be doing well, with a version for Men, and now this.

Go behind the cut for Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and Frida Giannini, Ma Tianyu Tan Weiwei and Jane Zhang.

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

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.
