Music Diary 《音乐日记》: A programme by local Mandrian radio station YES933. DJs for this programme are Lingzhi and not too recently, Peifen. The programme consists of 2 segments: (1) “007 的音乐日记” being listeners writing in their life/love experiences to share with all, and the DJ will read out his/her story. In between, she will play some suitable songs to blend them into the story. (2) The other segment is “说说而已” where the DJ will read out an anecdote or some meaningful phrases/quotes from some sources to inspire the listeners. This programme has been around for 5 years, and is now broadcasted on weekdays 8pm (Mon, Wed, Fri = Lingzhi; Tue, Thu = Peifen). Music Diary is highly recommended!
Music Diary 3 CD isn't as what I had expected... For MD 1 & 2, it was Lingzhi's usual Music Diary style. For MD 3, I guess 933 wanted to try something different.
Somehow, I feel that 933 really shouldn't call this Music Diary...
1. There's no Lingzhi. Her voice is what makes Music Diary special, and is also what makes people tune in to Music Diary regularly. There's really no other DJ who can make the stories as special and touching as she does. Ok maybe there are, but Music Diary is like Lingzhi's trademark show. How can Music Diary still be Music Diary without Lingzhi??
2. It's not the usual style. There are no songs in between the stories, which is the style we hear on radio. Heard on 933 that this CD is like a 偶像剧 style... But honestly, it gets boring after hearing story after story, without any songs. But of course, the CD included a small book with the stories, so one can always refer to the book while listening to the stories.
Verdict: I prefer MD 1 & 2. Of course, this MD 3 is not bad too as the other DJs also pour in their feelings while reciting the stories, but I feel that 933 might as well not call it Music Diary, since it does not involve Lingzhi, and since the style deviates from the one heard on radio. Regular supporters of Music Diary and Lingzhi will definitely feel some disappointment...
Anyway, some photos of the 933 DJs involved in the making of Music Diary 3!
Chongqing! Saw his cap? It said "CQ", for Chongqing? Haa, I didn't notice it then.
Mary! She's very friendly and was smiling very often!
Cruz Teng! Very friendly in person too!
Jiahui! First time see her in person, and she's quite pretty!
Peifen! With Jiahui, they were posing quite often for the audience below the stage to take photos... haa...
Liyi! She's a nice person too!
But still, no Lingzhi... A bit sad ah...
