This week's news is all on local singers.
孙燕姿 recently visited Taiwan with her husband on a short honeymoon trip.
Xinmsn reports:
Local singer Stefanie Sun and her newly-wed husband Nadim van der Ros visited Taiwan over the weekend for a short honeymoon trip.

According to the Taiwan media, upon arriving in Taiwan on Saturday evening, the couple headed for dinner with Stefanie's friends before attending a star-studded party at Saya Chang's A★Bar.

After a good night's sleep, on Sunday, staff and friends from Stefanie's recording company took the couple to Jiufen, a renowned tourist destination in Taiwan, before proceeding to a shop famous for their spicy hotpot.

However, the group had to settle for a steamboat dinner instead as the shop was packed with customers.

After dinner, the group headed to a night market, where Stefanie readily greeted fans whenever she was approached.

The singer then took her husband for a foot massage session after their night market trip.

The next morning, Stefanie took Nadim to try the famous braised pork at Ximending, before heading to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.

During a dinner gathering with Stefanie's recording company, when Nadim proudly showed the pictures they took during their tour, the singer's colleagues teased her for acting like a tourist despite having been in Taiwan for so long.

The singer sighed, saying, "That's because I have never really toured Taiwan!"

Just before the couple left the hotel at 4pm to catch their 6pm flight back to Singapore, they managed to check out the fantastic view at the famous Taipei101.


林俊杰 is also busy receiving awards and being the best man in his brother's wedding.
Xinmsn reports:
Over the weekend, at the 16th Annual COMPASS Awards, local singer JJ Lin beat Stefanie Sun and Tanya Chua to win the "Best Local Singer" title for the fourth consecutive year.

However, due to his brother's wedding, for the first time, the singer was unable to attend the awards ceremony.

The annual COMPASS Awards is an event to recognize the hard work local musicians had put in over the past year, and a total of 16 awards were presented this year.

The "Best Local Singer" award, which was based on the total royalty fees earned by the nominated singers for the songs they sing, saw JJ coming in first.

JJ also bagged the "Best Local Lyricist" award that night, an award based on the most royalty earnings the nominated lyricists had earned in the past year.

Despite his absence, in a video that JJ had prepared beforehand, the singer apologized to the audience saying, "This is the first time I am unable to attend the awards ceremony, as I have an important wedding to attend. It is my brother's wedding, which is more than just a friend's wedding. It is also my first time being the best man."

In the video, JJ also thanked COMPASS for the award, and mentioned that this will serve as a constant reminder for him to continue working hard, creating breakthroughs and producing even more great music, as this is his calling.

According to the Taiwanese media, the total income for JJ last year was a whopping NT$200 million (about S$8.7 million).

The all-rounder has a total of three houses and two sports cars under his name, in both Taiwan and Singapore. The singer's fashion label has also taken flight, and he is planning to expand his business to Taipei, following the branches in Singapore and Shanghai.


Jupiter's Special
Today we are going to feature 王心凌's latest album 《黏黏黏黏》.
It has been a really long time since she stepped foot into Singapore.
Not sure if it is due to the really bad impression she gave the press here years ago when she was here.
But strangely her drama series is always aired here on Channel U and always 同步首播 with Taiwan. First is 《桃花小妹》 then comes 《美乐加油》.
My question is can she still sustain using this cutesy cutesy image even as she approaches 30 years of age?

First up is 黏黏黏黏.
The lyrics and the melody to this song is penned by 王心凌 herself.
I personally think this song is not bad. Quite nice to listen to.
But i think it is quite a wrong strategy to use this as the first 主打.
It sort of limit herself back to this cutesy genre.
And this song is very dangerous in a sense that a lot of people will be quite 反感 with it cos they will think that she is acting cute.
Well, you listen to this song and judge for yourself ba.
Lollipop F's 敖犬 appeared in this MV too.


I like this second song.
In fact, this should be the route and genre that she should be going.
This is 爱太空.
Enjoy.


Haiz. Another "act cute" song.
Im not saying this song not nice.
But she not tired meh keep singing this kinda song.
I will be really interested if she sing something with attitude like Elva or Jolin someday.
This is 想你想你.


Next song not bad la.
Quite soothing.
Collaboration with 罗志祥 brings a lot of pleasant surprise as well.
This is 陪我到最后.


A song from 《美乐加油》.
下一页的我.
Very nice song.
Quite a big song but think she handled it well.


Out of all the songs this is the song i like the best.
The main theme song for 《美乐加油》.
Simple, melodic but not plain.
Surprised to see that her voice range is actually quite wide.
Cos the front part quite low but chorus quite high.
This is 不哭.
Weird that they never promote this song.


Bonus Track:
A few weeks ago we introduce you to 张惠妹's latest album.
This album recently just 改版.
And in the new 改版 song there is this new song that i think is super nice as well.
So nice that i think i must introduce to you guys.
Written by 苏打绿's 青峰, this is 你和我的时光.


That's all today.
Cya.
