The final Hong Kong music report card the 2016 JADE SOLID GOLD AWARDS took place last night at Television City and presented 45 awards this year, including 20 Solid God song awards. Attending singers included Hins Cheung King Hin, Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Ruco Chan Chin Pang, Mag Lam Yun Tung, Jason Chan Pak Yu, JW, Fred Cheng Chun Won, Hubert Wu Hung Kwan, James Ng Yip Kwan, Alfred Hui Ting Kin, Sherman Chung Shu Man, Vincy Chan (Wing Yi), Phil Lam Yik Hong and others. Although Joey Yung Cho Yi and Hacken Lee Hak Kun were not in Hong Kong, the latter said online that TVB sent people to look for them as they broke the event's usual "no appearance, no award" rule.

Aside from Joey and Hacken, the over four months pregnant and two time Solid Gold Gold Prize winner Jinny Ng Yeuk Hei was also absent last night. She only said online that she would watch the live television broadcast with her boyfriend. The remaining singers were most TVB contract singers.

When announcing Cheng Yun Yi's GODDESS won, host Lok Wing mistakenly said that she won the Gold Song Gold Prize. Fresh out of the oven television Best Actor Chan Chin Pang won a Gold Song award with the series BROTHER'S KEEPER II theme song WHO CAN CHANGE, but he received jeers. Chin Pang's fellow TVB artist Vincent Wong Ho Shun also won his first Gold Song award. C AllStar said that in October they will take some time off from each other.

However, TVB still invited "Song God" Sam Hui Koon Kit to send a video with his first Cantonese song CLOUDS OF EIFFEL TOWER. He performed the song and even showed a lot of valuable photos. Cheng Chun Won, Wu Hung Kwan, Ng Yip Kwan, Hoffman Cheng Sai Ho, Kris Law Kai Chung and Simon On Chun Ho also performed the second half of CLOUDS. Sam wished that Cantonese song creation would continue to be red hot and just like TVB have many more beautiful 50 years.

This year JSG invited many guest performers to share the theme "Songs of 1/2 Century Hong Kong". They included Teresa Carpio, Samantha Lam Chi Mei, Money Lo Man Yi and Louis Yuen Siu Cheung. To Lai Sha opened with a performance of NO LONGER KEEP FROWNING and Jacky Cheung Hok Yau's LOVE IS FOREVER, Lam Chi Mei performed CHANCE MEETING, other singers performed Alan Tam Wing Lun's WHO CAN CHANGE and LOVE OF A LIFETIME, Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's CHASE, FAYE WONG's I DO, Sally Yeh's BURNING HEART LIKE FIRE, Cass Phang Lng's LET ME WALK WITH YOU and Sandy Lam's STILL.

Former JSG host Lo Man Yi said that she witnessed the competition between fans of two superstars Tam Wing Lun and Cheung Kwok Wing. They in 1988 and 1989 announced that they would no longer accept awards and leave music. Later Gor Gor told her that he regretted not having a competitor like Alan. Lo Man Yi said that if Gor Gor was still with us, he could work on the "Alan Gor Gor Concert" and not "Uncle Alan 55th Birthday Concert".
