Last year, I briefly blogged about 第17届台湾金曲奖. One year has passed... It's the 第18届台湾金曲奖!
Happened to catch this event on TV as I was channel surfing. Not so exciting this year... maybe coz my YZ is not there this year, and there are always some parts of the non-and-less-mainstream which I have totally no clue who they are. The only thing I want to know is, how many awards will hot favourite 苏打绿 garner out of their 7 (?) nominations?
Some pics (taken from sina website):
A*Mei! The focus there, other than her boobs, should be on the diamond necklace and pendant. There's also the diamond earrings, bracelet etc, and she mentioned a figure of 1亿+... *Wow*
They played old videos of some celebrities at the beginning of the actual show, including A*Mei, Stanley Huang, Zhang Zhen Yue and Tao Zi. It's quite funny to see how they looked in the past and how they have transformed themselves to who they are today.
Jolin performed the opening act for the actual show with the song 舞娘. Seeing her dance is always *Waaaaaaa*
Jolin won 2 personal awards, the 票选最受欢迎女歌手奖 and the more prestigious 最佳国语女歌手奖.
Her thank you speech for the latter prize was very cool, coz her first thank you went to her critics and people who predicted she CMI, would not last, and that spurred her on. ANd she said it with such confidence! Woah!
Although I would like A*Mei to win, I have nothing against Jolin for winning this award. Her singing has definitely improved over the years and coupled with her dance moves, she's a sensation on stage.
Btw, i think the costume she wore with the plastic, hmmm. What's the plastic for?? It seems like a cheapskate umbrella cover. Jolin should just dump the plastic cover and flaunt her body.
最佳国语男歌手奖 : 李玖哲
The black horse. Ok yeah his singing is really good...
But what about Gary?? And JJ?? These 2 are more deserving in my opinion.
Here comes the hottest band now: 苏打绿!
Awards include 最佳乐团奖 and 最佳作曲人奖: 吴青峰《小情歌》.
Yippie! I was hoping Best Song would go to 《小情歌》 too tho.
Very touching to see them go on stage, receiving the ward and thanking people who have helped and supported them, like their teacher. I caught them on tv earlier for a pre-award programme hosted by Patty Hou and learnt that they are tertiary students, like us before. A bunch of music-loving enthu people who set up their own band, composed their own songs and performed for people.
They just make me feel that i could have done more in my uni days. While I have made many good friends, there could have been more vibrant memories in my uni days... I just don't have something that I am truly proud of.
"...就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了最后谁也都苍老
写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡"
