Here are my predictions for the 2002 13th Golden Melody
Awards.
PREDICTION: JAY CHOU'S FANTASY
DARK HORSE: MAYDAY'S REN SHENG HAI HAI
Actually...among all the albums nominated, I think Jay is the
best...his style and music is very uniformed...the only i thing i
see against his favour...is he has won his award last year...do u
tink he can hit a consecutive win?
BEST COMPOSER: JAY CHOU'S AI ZAI XI YUAN QIAN
DARK HORSE: TANYA'S DA CUO LE
All the nominees in this category is evenly matched...But if u have
to pick 2 people...i think jay and tanya stands out amongst all the
compositions...
BEST LYRICIST:
I can't predict this one...Fang Wenshan has 3 nominations...but as
a result might cancel out each other...with the votes and might
suffer the Sammi Cheng syndrome...Zhang Jinyi's lyrics is a hokkien
lyrics. Huang Shujun;s is insightful...Chen Xiaojuan is
simple...arrgh...cannot decide.
BEST ARRANGEMENT:
No comments. Not my forte.
BEST PRODUCER:
Maybe Jay Chou again?
BEST NEWCOMER:
PREDICTION: PEGGY HSU
DARK HORSE: SHE
Although Peggy Hsu and Stella Huang are so called
singer-songwriter, but Peggy's depth is song-writing is much more
proficient than Stella Huang. Besides, Stella's album songs are not
entirely written by her...peggy has the potential to go far. Wat
abt Yi Qi, his music probably falls on deaf ears...SHE is
popular...and they harmonise okay...and they r popular...but
whether they can sing???...
BEST BAND:
PREDICTION: MAYDAY
DARK HORSE: NOT TOO SURE
BEST GROUP:
PREDICTION: GAO SHAN AH ME
DARK HORSE: POWER STATION
I made this prediction based on the fact that the judges tend to
surprise us...so...
BEST MALE VOCALIST:
PREDICTION: HARLEM YU
DARK HORSE: EASON CHAN
It's time was Harlem to win...who could bring a storm to every part
of the world with just that one song...and he has long to be paid
his dues. Eason Chan might however be a surprise...becoz yes...he
sings well.
BEST FEMALE VOCALIST:
PREDICTION: AH MEI
DARK HORSE: SANDY LAM
Sorry, I am not saying that Singaporeans are not good...but tanya
is an unlikely winner (i wish she picks best composer)...unless
they wanna reward her for composing well. Yanzi is relatively
new...and still lacks feelings in her act...Shunza is a strong
contender, but she had won b4 but the album, And Music's There
isn't really a crowd pleaser. Winnie Tsin's rendition/cover of
Korean songs probably wun go down too well. The real race is Sandy
Lam and Ah Mei. The former will be in HK busying herself with her
concert...and with her 2 previous albums better, she might not come
thru. Ah Mei, like Harlem, deserves to be paid her dues. Zhen Shi's
album is an honest effort, and the album is really back to
basics...without playing around with the music.
So wat do u all think>?
