2020 has been under the fog of the novel coronavirus, music creation and performance have also been restricted. However music award shows still insisted on continuing to encourage and commend all musicians and singers. The Metro Hit Awards 2020 took the lead but switched to a online live broadcast. Yesterday 32 awards were presented, with the already presented 29 awards a total of 61 awards were given out. Missing from Hong Kong music for a long time, Karen Mok Man Wai won "Hit Singer of the Year" and "Hit Song". No wonder this year as soon as she released her Cantonese song BREATHING IS HARMFUL it received the love of Hong Kong music fans, which made her very excited!

Yesterday at the award show, DJs Ricky Fan Chun Fung, Eric Cheng Kai Tai, Si Man and Lai Lei were hosts. Each wore a mask, but most winning singers did not wear masks when accepting awards on the stage and performing their award winning songs. During the "Hit Female Singer" award presentation, AGA (Kong Hoi Ka) and Hana Kuk Chi Kiu both wore masks but Joyce Cheng Yun Yi did not. AGA also received the "Create Wonder Album" award. She said that she really missed award shows and also cherished the chance to promote and perform on stage very much. Kuk Chi Kiu again won the "Hit New Media Song". With two awards in her hand, she admitted that singing this song was very tough. She cried many times but she also rather enjoyed it. However when she performed her award winning song YOU LIKE LYING, she also tug at her mask a few times to breathe and showed that wearing a mask while singing felt very stuffy. Yun Yi with LITTLE NIGHT LIGHT again won "Hit Song". She also wished, "2021 will be great!"

When three "Hit Male Singer" awards were presented, Jason Chan Pak Yu and Pakho Chau both wore masks. In the middle Alfred Hui Ting Hung did not. All three won "Hit Song" awards and took away two each. Chan Pak Yu said that during this pandemic year his confidence seemed to be wavering but he still would put his heart into his work. Hui Ting Fung with his award winning song POWERLESSNESS said, "This year everyone had negative emotions, I hope in 2021 everyone can shake off the powerlessness." Pakho Chau said, "Thank you to friends who supported Pakho Chau. Whatever I do, the most important is my family's happiness and safety. Nothing is more important than family. I will continue to work hard. Happy New Year." Pak Yu took off his mask to sing, but Pakho was not arranged to sing.

Also having been away from Hong Kong music for a long time, Karen Mok Man Wai with BREATHING IS HARMFUL won "Hit Singer of the Year" and "Hit Song". When she accepted her award in a previously recorded video she wore a mask. "The feeling is a very special one, because I have neither sung in Hong Kong for many years nor sung Cantonese songs. I am really very happy that this song has everyone's support. The feeling is very hit, in the New Year I wish everyone peace and health!"

Yesterday was Kenny Kwan Chi Bun's 40th birthday. Aside from the "Hit Song" and "Hit Singer I Support" awards as gifts, he also received a birthday song. He made his wish and said, "My birthday wish is real, and it's for everyone: to be able to ravel, next year everyone let's go to a hot spring!" Also "Hit Song" winner Janice Vidal (Wai Lan) after accepting her award took off her mask to sing HALF DEGREE LOWER. Another "Hit Song" winner Jace Chan Hoi Wing was grateful that everyone got to know her through ISOLATION. Angela Hui Ching Wan received the "Hit Improvement Singer" and "Hit Song". Currently working in the Mainland she shot a video to express that she has been rather lucky this year. James Ng Yip Kwan with PRIMITIVE MENTALITY won "Metro Hit Song I Support". He shot a video to show that he was on vacation and joked that he willfully took some time off from the company. Tomorrow when he would return he would keep working hard.

"Hit Popular Idol" winner was Zaina Sze Hong Kiu, who was known because she had the novel coronavirus. She thanked everyone for their support. "Hit Group" went to Mirror, but the rumor ridden Ian due to work did not attend. The 11 members all wore masks when they "gathered" to accept the award. Creative singer Jay Fung Won Him won "Hit Song" and "Hit Album". Vincy Chan (Wing Yi) received "Hit Performance Award". She said that this year she sang with a new breakthrough interpretation method and demonstrated to everyone how to practice the dolphin sound by imitating the ambulance siren.
