Selina is finally married. Congratulations!!!

Selina Jen and Richard Chang

Xinmsn reports:

Taiwanese singer Selina Jen finally married long-time fiancé Richard Chang on Oct 31.

At the press conference for his new book Yong Ai Shou Hou (Staying by with love) yesterday, Selina's father let on that his daughter would not be able to become pregnant in the next three years.

On his new book, Father Jen said, "I sold my life story, in exchange for everybody's support. Proceeds from the sale of the book will all go to the Sunshine Foundation for burnt victims."

When asked if he was eager to have his own grandchildren, Father Jen expressed, "Selina has to take different medication daily. She is not able to give birth now. She has to wait for two to three years before her skin tissues stabilise."

However, he emphasised that he would respect the newlyweds' decisions.

Additionally, Father Jen shared how his wife was heartbroken after Selina's accident.

"I wouldn't give birth to her, if I knew this was going to happen. Then, she won't have to go through such torture," Mother Jen apparently said.

Mother Jen also revealed that Selina contemplated suicide many times after her accident. Father Jen also asked her why she did not use a body double for her scene in the drama.

To which Selina replied, "Luckily I didn't use a body double. I'd be stricken with guilt, if [the double] was hurt instead."

The singer believes that she is able to receive a huge compensation and comprehensive treatment because of who she is.

Jupiter's Special

Korea got so many successful groups.
Just look at the nomination list at this year's MAMA awards and you will know that the Korean music industry is literally dominated by groups.

Well, we have up and coming groups in the Mandarin music industry.
By will they be able to match up with the Koreans?
Today's Jupiter's Special will featuring 2 groups, local group, By2 and Taiwanese JPM.

This time during their promotional activities for this album.
One question keeps appearing By2 "有没有" went for plastic surgery.
They say its because they changed their makeup. Well possible. I dont really know how to tell if a celebrity went for plastic surgery, but they do look different this time round.
Of cos dancing skills 没话说. Of cos is very good.
Take a look at this music video ba.
This is 有没有.


The test for singing skill comes when people sing slow songs.
I think they have improved this time round in terms of singing.
You guys should take a look at this video also.
Wah must have spent a lot of time filming this video. Must be very 辛苦 lor. Haha.
This is 一样爱着你.


Okay after By2, next up is JPM.
JPM consists of three guys, 小杰(Jay), 王子(Prince) and 毛弟(Mo-di). Hence the group name JPM. The name looks familiar? Well, 小杰 and 王子 used to be from 棒棒堂 but they had split up to form their own group. 毛弟 used to be from the 棒棒堂 show as well and he has joined his brother 王子 to form this new group.

I think this next song is pretty cool.
A little bit of 中国风 mixed with modern elements.
It is good that they carve out a path of themselves without copying the Korean model blindly.
This song is called 那不是雪中红.


I must admit JPM's vocal is not that strong. By2 is far more vocally capable than JPM in my opinion.
But JPM is very lucky in that they always get songs that are so suitable to them.
Very good strategy to take.
Just like this next song here, very 讨喜. I guess very few people will hate it.
This is 平凡的美丽.


Of cos, idol groups nowadays cannot escape electrical music.
Now matter how they hate it also must 意思意思 sing some electric.
But personally i feel this song too techno. Haha.
Must have the brainwash factor like how those K-Pop people do their thing ma.
This song don't have that for me. Haha.
And techno music is either enticing or irritating.
Well, listen for yourselves ba.
But not to discredit them. The first two songs were relatively well done.
This song probably not my cup of tea.
This is 月球漫步.


That's all this week.
Cya.
