A little respect please

David has been forced to come out with his own true version on what he was doing during the night of the GMA ceremony. Spurious taiwanese news report claimed that he had been spotted drunk with female companion in a Singapore nightclub. I don't know, maybe that's why I am so tired of chinese entertainment and hardly bother to watch it at all.
Then there's all that bitching abt his winning the award. I don't know why he gets it all the time. Remember when Marry Me Today won best song, the amount of vitriolic comments he and Jolin Tsai received was just beyond belief. They didn't ask to be the winner, it was given to them. Just like David didn't even think that he was going to win best male singer this year. He got 10 votes, Eason Chan got 7 votes, the others didn't even count, so he won fair and square.
The best singer award is not about who has the best album but who is the best singer. I think Jacky Cheung was nominated once when he didn't even had an album out but based on his concert performances. Maybe David didn't have the best album but his singing in the album and all his concert performances last year were certainly among the best that Mandarin pop entertainment has to offer.
I am so tired of all the other idols fans always bitching when their idols didn't win. DT fans have never ever complain when he didn't win, we are just glad when he does win. Awards to us and to him never really mean a lot. I think David says it best when he reasons that while he respects that everybody has the right to criticise but they should also respect the opinions of the judges, the winners as well as the non-winners since everybody concerned had put in their best efforts.

2010 Best Mandarin Male Singer

At last, maybe it's a sympathy vote since it could be a long while before David release another album but the Golden Melody judges finally gave him the award they should have given him a few albums back - Best Mandarin Male Singer. I will be honest here cos in my opinion 69 David Tao was not his best work. His voice was excellent but the passion was not 100% like in his debut album, I'm OK or Black Tangerine. But hey I take the award for him anytime *__*
He richly deserved it. Dear David, congratulations! So happy for you. DT did not attend the ceremony as he was busy with his movie which I am so looking forward to seeing.
