Last word

David made it into the China Hospitality News ^__^ Pity the pix is so small cos he looked vry yummy. There some news abt David wanting to trace his grandfather's birthplace in Nanjing & asking his fans to help. As his dad will be attending his Nanjing concert, he hopes to give this info to him as belated Father's day gift. He also said that there will be a lot of audience interaction but it will be revealed only during the concert.
Dun really wanna write abt GMA anymore but was reading TW fans' overjoyed reaction to Marry Me Tody winning song of the year. Guess its more relevant to them being in their country. It was a feeling like in soap series where the talents & hard work of the hero finally paid off in the end & he was given the award against all odds. Frankly I was surprised that he won cos I expected Planting Trees to win. It was not only a wonderful song but has a social msg abt the environment. Yes indeed the odds were stacked against David considering Jay had not 1 but 2 songs that have the credentials to be song of the yr. One was extremely obscure & so awardworthy :P & the other brought together the successful combination of cool, young, trendy with old & traditional. So why did GMA gave David the award considering they own him no favors? It was not a small award either, it was the BEST song of the year. Why choose this song which most critics considered commercial & sappy? Maybe for once the judges woke up to the fact they are awarding for musical content not political msgs or self-serving PR. Perhaps they remembered a song called Tian Mi Mi that ppl love for no other reason than it was a sweet song that made them happy. Sometimes music dun have to try too hard but it still not that easy to make ppl feel happy & lighthearted after listening. That's the power of music & David knows that only too well. Btw I thought it was extremely nice & thoughtful of him to get Jolin to thank WaWa for writing the lyrics.
