Tension


Tension r five guys - Jimmy, Andy, Raymond, Brian & John. They r personally trained by David & formed prolly the first BoyzIIMen type group in Taiwan. How they met? It started fr Andy who first knew John, then Brian, later Raymond. They decided to form acappella group and practise in pub of Andy's uncle in LA. Jimmy who oso haf band in Tokyo but broke up, went to LA cos his dad was there filming Martial Law. He went to the pub cos his friend was there, met with other 4 guys and joined them. Then Andy's uncle who knew David (not so sure abt this) asked David to come & listen to them. David liked them and signed them up. Their first album Smart! came out in 2001, then Gotta be your man in 2003 & Planet Love this yr.

I listened to them cos of David, but later got to like them a lot 2, cos they r not like the other Taiwanese groups. They haf very healthy image, & altho they dance, they r more a romantic kinda group. It was hard for them at first, cos only Raymond can understand & speak Mandarin. Brian hardly know any Mandarin at all. They used to host program Very Tension to introduce english music & speak english. It was nice program but it ended & they host sum other program which I haf not watch.

Anyway there r sum Tension links if u wanna know more abt them. They oso came out with 2 books. They r coming up with 4th album soon, and hopefully they can haf concert. But they r sure to be invited as guests when David held his china concerts later this yr. I only haf 2 Yahoo grps 4 both David & Tension, but there r heaps of Tension yahoo grps around world, they r actually pretty popular. Just do a search & u find them, even individual members - Andy being the most.
