Commercial Radio's Ultimate Song Chart Awards presented 44 awards last night. Eason Chan Yik Shun won the Male Singer Gold Prize for the ten straight time, and Joey Yung Cho Yi won her ninth straight Female Singer Gold Prize. Eason won 5 awards to become the big winner. He publicly thanked his wife Hilary Tsui Ho Ying and even said that last night he was upset because his performance was lackluster. Joey started her concert early in order to personally accept the Female Singer Gold Prize. Denise Ho Wan Si won her first "My Favorite Female Singer". Pakho Chau who won 3 awards publicly expressed his love but did not mention for whom.

Eason has become the strongest in history as he won his tenth Ultimate Male Singer Gold Prize and his ninth My Favorite Male Singer. He even with FREE TO ROAM won the Ultimate Song Award, My Favorite Song Prize, Ultimate Record to become the big winner. However he looked serious all night and did not smile too much.

When Eason accepted the Ultimate Male Singer Gold Prize, he made an exception and thanked his wife, daughter and parents. He seemed to want to prove how important his wife was. Each of Eason's thank you speech exceeded 10 minutes, even guest host Carol Cheng Yui Ling could not help but praise Ellen Loo (Lo Hoi Tung) for keeping her thank you speech brief. Do Do took the chance to take a jab at Eason, "Some singer's speech is as long as an entire song!"

Joey began her concert early and arrived around 10PM to accept her award, but she was six or seven seats away from her former close friend Ho Wan Si. Winning the ninth straight Female Singer Gold Prize, Joey also won a song award. She sounded a little hoarse when she gave her speech, "Attending two parties in one night is very tiring." When she performed she even mouthed that she had "no voice". Joey described that she was the happiest about seeing friends who she has worked with this time winning awards. Years ago when she accepted the Female Singer Award she was jeered. Last night she received many cheers. Joey tearfully said, "I am very happy that something I once couldn't get on this stage today everyone has given to me, it's cheers."

Ho Wan Si waited all night for My Favorite Female Singer. Winnie Yu Tsang said, "Your mentor is definitely smiling in Heaven." Seemingly she meant for her to take Anita Mui Yim Fong's baton. Ho Wan Si earlier was upset with the Commercial Radio judging standards and became at odds. Now she crushed Yung Cho Yi to win the award for the first time.

Winning 3 awards, Pakho Chau seemed to be expressing his love to his girlfriend. "I want to thank one person, I never thought that I have to thank her. I don't have much self confidence, every time I wrote a song I would ask her. Every time she would say the song was good. Actually recognition from someone you love was very important. Today I am very happy to be able to come on the stage three times, thank you very much to her! I grew up with her and got over a lot of hardship with her. I will run faster, run to our destination. I love you! Thank you for your patience, thank you!"

Lacking luck with Ultimate over the years, Hacken Lee Hak Kun won a song award with HOUSE OF CARDS. He also accepted the award in person, but he did not appear until his award was announced. "Today I am sick, I am more or less off key. My 2013 resolution was to make a popular song so I could be in My Favorite Song top five, in the end it was fulfilled already in my heart." Andy Hui Chi On with LOVER A won second place Gold Song, but the DJ mixed up the title to make it sound like Matching Lover. On Jai smiled and praised the DJ for his quick wit. Was he prepare to wed? On Jai said, "No, for now I haven't had the thought. Later I would again, we have an understanding." Speaking of Sammi Cheng Sau Man's preference for the title "Sup Soh", On Jai said that he still called Sammi as "Ah Mi". He would not call him Sup Gor or Sup Long.

Leung Hong Man who has not been on the Ultimate stage for a long time jumped twice and screamed "yeah" when he won his song award with HALF A LIFE. He said, "I really want to share this award with my wife. Earlier I was thinking, I haven't been up here for a few years. The last time was ten years ago, but I pressed the delete button. I want to erase anything unpleasant."

Lyrics creator Wyman Wong Wai Man yesterday sat away from other song and lyrics creators. The event said, "Wyman called the radio station and asked to be seated in the front row." When Wyman's disciple Abrahim Chan Wing Him won the Lyrics Awards he thanked Wyman on the stage. Wyman was moved to tears.

ULTIMATE as usual became a tear filled award show. When Joey won her ninth Female Singer award she accepted it in tears. Fiona Sit Hoi Kei took out a tissue to wipe away her tears. First time Male Singer Bronze Prize winner Alfred Hui Ting Hung cried as soon as he got on the stage. Shiga Lin Si Nga won her first song award and became a crybaby.

The stage had a long flight of stairs that singers all descended from. Female singers all wore high heels and were in danger. Ivana Wong Yuen Chi also tripped, luckily Hins Cheung King Hin caught her in time from behind. Hin Jai later deliberately waited for Kary Ng Yu Fei to descend together to keep her from tripping. In a short dress, Ho Wan Si got a hand from Chan Yik Shun when she came down.

In checkered suits, Soft Hard last night held the recently popular Lufsig and Granny dolls. Jan Lamb Hoi Fung joked that Lufsig didn't have an Ultimate ticket as he was thrown in. He also said that this doll was even more popular than Chan Yik Shun. They both imitated Timon Chu's performance of NEVER LIKE TO BE ALONE and cracked everyone up.
