ViuTV Music Awards Ceremony "CHILL CLUB Awards 25/26" was held
at the AsiaWorld-Expo last night with a large number of live singers,
but the award-winning singers Terence Lam Chun Him, Jason Chan Pak Yu,
and the group ERROR were absent. MIRROR and its members won 6 awards
total, with Anson Lo Hon Ting winning including the live audience
voted People's Music singer, song of the year and Male Singer silver
prize. Teammate Keung To won his first Male Singer gold prize; Ian
Chan Cheuk Yin won the Creative Singer silver prize, and MIRROR repeated
with the Group of the Year gold prize. Gin Lee Hung Ngai continued her
golden momentum as she repeated as Female Singer gold prize and with
WHITE NIGHT won top ten song of the year. Last night's award had many
guest performers, including CHILL CLUB award show debuts of Gigi Yim
Ming Hay, Andy Hui Chi On, 24 Herbs' Conroy Chan Chi Chung, finale guest
Louis Koo Tin Lok performed with ILUB, guy group ZPOT, Jace Chan Hoi
Wing and others performed his new song to bring the event to its climax.
MC Cheung Tin Fu opened the award ceremony with a performance of
THE ONE FOR U, and sang "The Strongest in the Universe" with Edan Lui
Cheuk On and others. Stephy Tang Lai Yan, On Chan Kin On and others
followed. The theme of the whole night was "Pulse of the City", and
many singers also sang golden songs from different eras. Recently
released a new song, Andy Hui Chi On also sang his old work "Tumbling"
with MIRROR's Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK) and the two danced vigorously. On
Jai danced and sang "Rebound" with Alton Wong Chi Tak and girl group IdG
Bubbles, setting off the first climax of the night.
In addition, Marf, Winka Chan Wing Ka, Jer Lau Ying Ting, Cath
Wong Yin and CY Chan Chung Chak performed classic songs as a salute to
previous generations. Marf in a red lace corset and short skirt
performed FLAMING RED LIPS but was criticized online for needing to
improve her singing; Wong Yin and Chan Chung Chak performed Leslie
Cheung Kwok Wing's FAVORITE and Danny Chan Pak Cheung's CHEER, while
Winko performed Prudence Liew Mei Kwan's FINAL NIGHT; when Jer performed
Eliza Chan Kit Ling's PLATINUM ELEVATOR the response was the best. He
went from the audience then ran onto the stage again, almost going
through half the venue!
The entire evening's production was somewhat dull. Lacking
guest presenters, many online slammed the show for lacking new ideas.
Another highlight of the awards ceremony that night was when the
champion of TVB's "STARS ACADEMY" and now a member of Sony Music Gigi
Yim Ming Hay participated in a ViuTV show for the first time after
leaving TVB and performed VOYAGE. She also joined forces with the "KING
MAKER" "popularity king" who has just celebrated his birthday, Keung To,
to sing Gigi's new song "Colors in the Air" and Keung To's "Master
Class". However the two new generation singers in the music scene
collaborated for the first time, and their performance was restrained
and rarely interacted. Yet they also sang together as Keung To walked
closer to Yim Ming Hay, stared into each other's eyes, leaned his body
forward and shared a microphone. The scene was funny and Yim Ming Hay
flashed a smile after the performance. Keung To then performed Master
Class and Yim Ming Hay again performed with him. Meanwhile Anson Lo
performed with Taiwan singer Nick Chou.
MIRROR and 24 Herbs' Conroy Chan Chi Chung, J Brian Siswojo
(Lee Hoi Yin) and others performed together. 17 people of the two
groups performed RESPECT IS OK and WE ARE shoulder to shoulder, as
singers and viewers clapped and sang along. Actively releasing songs
recently, Louis Koo Tin Lok was the finale guest performer. While ILUB,
guy group ZPOT and Chan Hoi Wing performed, they performed Koo Tin Lok's
hit POPULAR THIS WEEK with an actor dressed like Koo Tin Lok on the
stage. The entire crowd screamed. As the camera turned, Koo Tin Lok
was siting in the audience, from where he walked to the stage and
performed his new song THE HOAX with the singers. The entire audience
screamed nonstop and brought the evening to its climax.
Lo Hon Ting repeated as the People's Music Singer of the Year
and the People's Music Song of the Year recipient. He thanked his
company his group and Disciples (his fan nickname). "I know I
still have many places like singing and dancing that could be done
before. Whether I would release slow songs or dance songs, I hope to
persist on doing what I like, continue to release more work of
different varieties for everyone. So everyone would remember I am
the Hong Kong singer who really likes to dance and sing Lo Hon Ting."
Lo Hon Ting praised his Disciplines as very powerful, very self-
disciplined as they maintained order with him. "THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW
is a super positive energy song, we have to cherish and be an even
better person. The Time is always now for us, Disciples! Thank you
everyone!"
Keung To earlier announced that this year he would not release
another new song. Winning his first Male Singer gold prize, he said,
"Several days earlier I celebrated my 27th birthday. I feel if I have
to pick the hardest year in life, it would be this year when I was 26.
Luckily it has passed. Now I am a year older, I want to thank one
person. He is the one who has taught me what real love is, and turns
me into an even better person. I believe the 27 year old Keung To would
be even better than any other year's." MIRROR and its members won 6
awards, but did not win a top ten song. MC Cheung Tin Fu won the Male
Singer bronze prize and with IN DOUBT won a top ten song.
Gin Lee Hung Ngai after performing at the 25+ EMEPROR ALL STAR
CONCERT at the Kai Tak Stadium rushed to AsiaWorld Expo to accept the
Female Singer Gold Prize. She smiled and said that she braved the
rain and ran onto a vehicle to rush over. The journey was very long,
and felt like being a singer. "Running to this award stage isn't easy,
people may not know about the effort you contributed. Actually doing
your best is already enough, cherish every award." Female Singer silver
and bronze prize went to Panther Chan Lui and Marf Yau Yin Tung. Marf
happily said, "This is my first solo award, thank you all the members of
COLLAR."
Jay Fung Wan Fung won his first Creative Singer of the Year,
feeling very lucky that he found a job he really liked. "It is writing
songs and creating. Although it takes a lot of time, I really enjoy
music and the process of making songs." He even received top ten song
award with GHIBLI. Silver prize recipient Ian Chan Cheuk Yin
advertised the release of a new song on the 23rd. Terence Lam Ka Him
was absent but still won 3 awards, including Creative Singer bronze
prize, song writer and top ten song second place with APRIL WHISPERS.
Tsui Ho and Edward Chan won the Producer of the Year awards. Tsui Ho
publicly thanked his wife Tsang Lok Tung for taking care of his everyday
life and praised her as a decent lyrics writer, as he asked the singers
could ask his wife to write the lyrics. Due to the number of absent
recipients in the row, host Thor Lok Chun Wai said that the awards
would be delivered through express delivery companies. He even asked
the children who carried out the awards to deliver them. "Being an award
show emcee is really very hard, is the next singer here?"
MIRROR won the Group of the Year gold prize. Silver prize
recipient COLLAR while accepting the awards called captain Gao with the
good news. The bronze prize went to the Absent Brother. "New Female
Singer of the Year" gold prize went to Amy Lo Wai Man, silver to
COLLAR's Day Hui Yat. As for song awards, Gareth.T's NO FULL FRONTAL
won Song of the Year, with Lam Ka Him's APRIL WHISPERS and Chan Hoi
Wing's SWITCH in second and third place respectively. Fung Wan Him's
GHIBLI, Marf's LOVE ME DOWN and Jason Chan Pak Yu's AS ALWAYS also
landing in the top ten.
