Tanya wins 2 major awards (at least, from what I watched on TV) at the 19th Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan! She scored wins in Best Female Vocalist, as well as Best Album Producer. It must be an amazing win for her since her album “Goodbye and Hello” was a new beginning for her in many ways, like being her own album producer, moving to Taipei etc. For the second time, she won Best Female Vocalist (she got this back in 2006 if I remember correctly). Even though I am rather unhappy that my favourite singer (A*Mei) did not win (again) this time round, I am still glad that Tanya won this award.
On another note, Karen Mok won best album, and I think it really means a lot for her since it was really an album she wanted to put out; she wrote songs, decided the direction and stuff. I probably will get her album in the next week, or probably tomorrow. I thought Tanya was going to win Best Album as well, since she was awarded best female vocalist and best album producer. Probably something went wrong with the jury?
On yet another note, Jay Chou sort of swept most of the awards he was nominated for, including awards for non-vocal recordings. As much as I do not like him, his character that is, I still admire him as a musician. Ok moving on, I feel a bit sad that Stefanie Sun (Yanzi) did not win any awards this year. Her album was great too, maybe concept wise it wasn’t as strong as Karen’s. And A*mei did not win any awards again! I cannot believe it… … no comments on that… …
Anyway, A*mei performed on the show, which I conveniently missed because of the waiting for my milkshake at Carl’s Junior. How slow can the service get? I mean if you are understaffed, go get more people…

Below is the youtube link for her performance:
Personally I think she did fine, just that it could have been better, because we have all heard her sing better. I think she was quite nervous when she played the piano and sang at the same time.
It was a good performance nonetheless. She has definitely established herself as one of the best singers of our time!
