13th Global Chinese Music Awards 第13届#全球华语歌曲排行榜颁奖典礼- 5 Oct 2013

     

Despite a huge congregation of singers at the 13^th Global Music Awards (held for the second time in Malaysia), only a handful sparks interest. Namely, 戴佩妮 Penny Tai, 光良 Michael Wong, 曹格 Gary Chaw, 容祖儿 Joey Yung, 罗力威 Adason Lo, 邓紫棋 Gem Tang, 林峰 Raymond Lam, 谢安琪 Kay Tse, 阿娇钟欣潼 Gillian Chung, 阿Sa蔡卓妍 Charlene Choi from Hong Kong；胡夏 Hu Xia, 周笔畅 Bibi Zhou and  潘玮柏 Wilber Pan. EEG team were out in full force, introducing Adason Lo (champion of ATV’s Asian Millionstar singing contest) for the first time to Malaysians. Decked in silver blue blazers, fans of singer/composer Adason flew all the way from HK to support their idol who rendered his self- composed “双子情歌” (Gemini Love Song).  The theme for the night is supposed to punk fantasy but apart from the deejays of the 7 stations, not many guests live up to the theme. Joey was so stunning in her simple purple gown, which reminded me so much of Angelina Jolie in “The Tourist” movie. Flash lights went off like crazy when Joey and LF (Raymond) made their way  to the red carpet. Joey swept four awards (the most prestigious being “Most Popular Female Singer “  honour, which also happens to be her fourth successive win).  I didn’t expect  Joey to  perform the powerful dance song -  “加大力度” ,dressed in evening gown, high heels  and without any dancers ! And you know what ?!! She was amazing !! The only setback is Joey’s command of Mandarin seems to have deteriorated slightly during her acceptance speech.

Even after joining Stars Shine record, I haven’t heard much about Kay Tse.  One thing for sure, she has definitely become prettier and more sensual. Kay looks great  in a bare back white gown, showing her slender figure and went home with a total of  4 awards. Another artiste that has grabbed my attention in recent years is powerhouse vocalist ,  22-year-old GEM Tang. I liked the edgy rock tunes in her last Canto album. Twins won awards for their individual efforts and not as a group. Gillian Chung was nursing a cold and so was Kay.  I dunno what’s with Gary Chaw but he kept teasing Charlene that she  was real pretty that night and coaxing  others (Wilbur and Raymond) to repeat the same thing. Honestly, I did not expect Raymond to get 4 awards. The media award must have been the biggest surprise, even to Raymond. LF  didn’t sing “On My Way “ (from “Triumph In The Skies II”) at Starhub TVB awards  the week before but he did not disappoint this time.

I have always thought that Hu Xia (who rose to prominence after singing  “那些年” theme song) hails from Taiwan until recently. He is from China apparently but I believe he is based in Taiwan now.  Neither did I know that mainland singer, Bibi Zhou  speaks fluent Cantonese. Having said that, I am not familiar with their songs at all nor do I have any interests…just not my genre.  Wilbur Pan is charming  as always and he, along with Show, are the ones who truly displays awesome stage gung ho. I was pleasantly surprised by Michael Wong’s choice of attire. Not only does he managed to maintain his youthful look but he has a good eye for fashion too. There was a session where local talents, Micheal, Gin Lee and Ling Ka Chun took to the stage , performing Leslie, Danny and Anita’s medley. Gin and Michaelwere not bad but Ling Ka Chun sucks ! Gary’s outfit looks like grandma’s curtain drapes. By the time he paid tribute to the 4 heavenly king and Beyond, the hall is only about 1/3 full. This award ceremony is just too effing long and a number of the stars are already showing signs of weariness or already left by the time the 72 awards were given out.
