David got the best album, The Great Leap, as well as best song, Susan Says, in 2005 from the Chinese Musicians Club *clap clap* 10 albums & 10 songs are selected each year & not sure if its the 1st time a singer got both best album & song. Nice to see that list of albums & songs differ which meant a good song can still be in the list even though the album is not so good, & an album can be good overall while not having an outstanding song. Eg Penny Dai's album selected but no song & Wu Bai's Made in Taiwan selected but not album.
I am really glad for once Susan Says is selected as I do think its such an influential song. Its really make ppl realised that chinese operatic music is not so different and inaccessible after all. The song is so evocative of ancient times & yet so modern at the same time. Also an old-fashioned love song with East-West melody. Really happy that it has been acknowledged at last & by Chinese musicians. David was happy & proud at this honor but he regretted that Leehom's work was not also acknowledged. Actually a bit confused as not sure which album is being judged, Shangrila released 12/04 or Heroes released 12/05. If its the former then agreed with David but the latter not really sorry >"< But here someone with similar view.
Thank you star_lady of SGFC for news flash - David will be in Malaysia this Sunday 05/07! Plse visit SGFC for more details. Guess he is stopping by enroute to LA for some concert promo. When asked if he will attend GMA in June, David's answer is once again negative. He will be working on album in LA. Guess the rift is still not healed *sigh*Anyway he dun need more awards for The Great Leap. Hope his finger is getting better. Looking forward to his 5th studio album & live concert dvd. Decided to do Tension South Park style cos miss the guys so much but its hard to do them cos they dun really have a distinct style. Put all the South Parks up @ Interactive ^__^ Btw did a search for them @ youtube & there's quite a bit including Doritos cms. Hope to see them again real soon.
