Creative singer king Terence Lam Ka Him at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards won his first Male Singer Gold Prize. Having swept up numerous awards he became the big winner, but the "song king's"  spotlight seemed to have been stolen by the official return of COLLAR member So Ching and the popularity king Keung To!

The 2022 Commercial Radio Ultimate Song Chart Awards took place last night. Over 100 singers were on hand except Universal Records' singers. 49 awards were presented. Creative singer Lam Ka Him won his first Male Singer Gold Prize, with many behind the scenes awards he became the big winner of the night. Joyce Cheng Yun Yi repeated as the Female Singer Gold Prize winner, but the focus of the entire night fell on Keung To, who just recovered from his injury, and the first official appearance since the MIRROR concert accident, girl group COLLAR member So Ching.

After 5 months COLLAR finally appeared in its entirety to endless cheers from the crowd. They appeared in white. With a smile on her face So Ching calmly stood between Sumling and Winka. They tightly held her. The event arranged for COLLAR to perform CALL MY NAME to open the show. At the center So Ching has not worked in months but returned to form as her dancing was not rusty at all. COLLAR won the Rookie Group Gold Prize. Captain Gao got choked up in the thank up speech, Sumling even broke down. However So Ching appeared calm; during her two solo in the performance, the crowd screamed endlessly. Fans in the audience held up light signs in support. After performing OFF/ON Day made a pose but lose her balance as if she was not feeling well. Ivy immediately helped her off the stage. Later when they won the Group Bronze Prize she did not appear, as she left early due to illness.

COLLAR said that they were very emotional to perform in full force after over 7 months and said that they would hold their first anniversary event on January 12th. So Ching was very excited to resume work, revealing that her boyfriend Mo has been very supportive of her every decision and was very happy to see her active again. It was a great motivation for Mo's recovery and therapy, now he could use Siri on his phone to help with communication. She also denied that she once considered quitting the group. Whether the company provide further assistance to Mo? She said, "You would be better off asking his family, company and those involved about this."

MIRROR's captain Lokman was absent due to testing positive, having recovered Tiger and Alton rushed back for the appearance. In recovery for two months, Keung To was light on his feet without any assistance. However he has obviously gained weight. When he came down the stairs, Stanley and Anson Lo wanted to give him a hand but he declined. With MIRROR WITHIN MIRROR he won the Ultimate Top Ten number 4. He said, "I too wanted to be a little bolder and save (some time) for the next singer, because what I want to say is in the song." During his performance he knelt and sang, perhaps because he just recovered he could not move too extremely. He has yet to dance and sing but he excited jumped off the stage the ran around, making all the "Keung Candies" scream like the sky was falling. When he accepted the award, he wished that everyone would not only pay attention to themselves but also more to this world.

Keung To was unable to repeat as "My Favorite Male Singer" as he lost to Anson Lo. When Jan Lamb Hoi Fung announced Anson Lo as the winner, he found it hard to believe as he worried that Lamb was pranking him like last year. He said, "Thank you very much everyone, my brain has completely stopped. Thank you to all the viewers and friends who have voted for me, to all the Disciples, last year wasn't an easy year for MIRROR. We worked hard everyday, releasing new stuff nonstop for everyone to see. I promise that whether I win an award or not, I definitely wouldn't be lazy. I definitely would give my 2000%." Jeremy broke into tears when he learned that he won the "Rookie Male Singer" Gold Prize and needed his MIRROR mates to comfort him.

Winning his first Male singer Gold Prize, Lam Ka Him with WHO INVENTED THE ENCORE won the Ultimate Song. Then he won the Ultimate Record award and repeated as the Creative Singer Gold Prize winner. During his performance he sentimentally said, "Not everything can have encore. They can be lost at anytime, but life isn't complete without a little flaw. You have to remember the good and the bad."

Kay Tse On Kay with LIFE JUST GOES ON won the Ultimate Top Ten number 5. She got choked up on the stage as she revealed that her 90 year old Papa is not feeling well and is at the hospital. "He started to lose his memory......I want to give this song and the ability to remember to him , and for him not to be unable to remember me." Due to her vocal cord infection, she did not perform the song. Back stage she again talked about Papa. Teary eyed, she said, "He was 'lost' for several hours, when I called him I couldn't understand what he was saying. He has already been released from the hospital. Let's see how we should take care of him. Getting lost like this is very dangerous, maybe I would work less to keep him company."

When Vincy Chan, Janice Vidal and Joyce Cheng appeared together, Janice Vidal tripped on her long dress. Luckily Vincy lent a hand and she did not fall down. Yun Yi said that she has not played mahjong in two years, so she has not repeated in a very long time. She would not have guessed this and thanked everyone for voting for her.
