juz felt that the best local composition should include “love dictionary” (composed by Tan Boon Hwa, Sung by Stefanie sun). Quite a nice song, but too bad that it isn’t frequently heard on radio…

My pick from the list of nominees (have not heard all of them though) are -

Sleeper Album of the year
Freya Lin's Dou Shi Ta

Bombshell Album of the year
Daniel Chan's Love Music
(big disappointment, this one)

Best Album (Male)
Tie between
Jay Chou's Fan Te Xi
Eason Chan's Fan Zheng Shi Wo

Best Album (Female)
Tie between
Ah Mei's Zhen Shi
Sun Yanzi's Feng Zheng

Best local composition
Tie between
Li Si Song's Tao Wang
Liang Wenfu's Tian Tian Kan Dao Ni De Lian

I think Sun Yanzi's Ren Xing was a very good effort too... a far better piece than Zhen De.

Some glaring omissions are Coco Lee and Emil Chou. How come?

Zilchster SG

Well…the reason for the omission of emil is because i did not hear his album…so it would not be too fair to judge…as for coco…weighing against other cds…good but i dun tink it makes the cut yet as others are better.
