Just want to rant a bit about the Love Life thingy that David was involved in. What actually it is for? Saw the cm & there wasn't any call for donation or any kind of involvement from the public. It seems to be like a feelgood exercise whereby artistes can promote their good side to the public. Why not just donate the money they used for the shooting of the promo to the cancer foundation in Taiwan?
Look, I am not against artistes doing their bit for charity & also promoting themselves in the process when its a win/win situation. But personally I do disapprove of the mentality that somehow when a singer or actor is doing charity, their talents seem to grow as well. They become better singer, actor, dancer, etc. If you are a mediocre singer, sorry but you stay one no matter how much you donate to charity. Jacky Cheung has been doing charity work most of his life but he seldom use it to promote himself. Surely doing charity is a personal choice & should not be associated with the artiste's body of work & his contribution to music or film.
Normally I am indifferent to Cecilia Cheung nor do I think she did anything wrong but I must admit I felt distasteful when she was in the entertainment news for THREE days in a row when she was on a supposedly LOW KEY visit to Taiwan. She was seen ostensibly supporting Love Life with her son, Dora (yes that Dora below with David) & Dora's mother. I almost threw up when Blackie praised her nonstop for coming to Taiwan to lend her support to Love Life. I felt so sorry for Dora who put on a brave face even though one could see her discomfort at the media attention. Even her mother had to put up with a Cecilia acting her heart out as she hugged her & told her with very little sincerity to be brave. Not only did Cecilia used her son but a cancer patient & her mother to get into the news for 3 days. Am I the only one who felt disgusted?
Nice laughing pix of DT in Hangzhou on Icetea promo. For once, he had no girlfriend related controvesy so the journalists didn't know what to ask him *roll eyes* Can't they ask him about his new album? Anyway they were reduced to asking him mildly controversial questions on drugs & entertainment forcing David to make the usual 'artist is stressed but drug is not the answer' kind of response.
Some clips of him singing in Quangzhou:
Yesterday David appeared in Quangzhou for Icetea related activity. He looked really cute *__* in tight tee & jeans. He said that his new album will be released in July, not sure to believe him as everytime he appeared it would seem he will arbitarily mention a release date *sigh* Well, just have to wait another 2 months I guess. Below are sweet pixs taken by DTFC, first he looked vry serious doing the judging, then giving his little girly wave to his fans. Looks like he hasn't changed much heehee Vry much looking forward to his new album.
(Above 2 pixs courtesy & much thanks to DTFC)
Posting some nice pixs of DT to remind how he looks like ^__^ Anyway he did pop up in Taipei every now and again the past few months but it was more like promo stuff & nothing to do with his music *sigh* Apparently he will appear in a largescale concert in Tianjin on 5/25 & reportedly will sing a new song. They always said he would sing a new song but he had never done it so I guessing this time will be no different.
I don't think there any chance of his album coming out this month, in fact I am beginning to think his album will not come out under Typhoon Gold Label. It's much too long a delay & my guess is they are just waiting till his 2-year contract with Icetea is up & they go their separate ways. DT will hopefully released the album independently. This is just my guessing so don't take it for real. But the fact is both DT & Typhoon have not said anything abt either the album or whether DT will remain at Typhoon make me suspect that things are not going well. No matter what I will still support DT in whatever he wants to do whether its music or film.
