Commercial Radio Ultimate Song Chart Awards took place on
New Year's Day. Hacken Lee Hak Kun who has had no lucky with the Ultimate
awards struck strongly this year, as he won his first Ultimate Music Male
Singers gold prize and Ultimate Music Ultimate Song award in 30 years.
Inevitably he got sentimental when he accepted the awards, as he tearfully
thanked his mentor and friend Alan Tam Wing Lun, "I believe you would be
happy for me!"
The 2017 Ultimate Song Chart Awards last night presented 43
awards. With 30 years in the business Lee Hak Kun this year has swept
across many award shows to become the big winner this year. In the past
Ultimate Awards usually brushed him by. This year he finally broke
through with Ultimate Music Male Singer gold prize and Ultimate Music
Ultimate Song award, the "first time" for Hacken Lee after waiting for 30
years.
Hacken inevitably got sentimental on the stage. When DJ Donald
and Jim brought up his past "suit comment", he got teary eyed as he stared
at the award, shook his head and sighed. Hacken compared this time to the
Oscars. "Some singers would be nominated every year and would win every
other year like Meryl Streep. Some people are always nominated but the
award always brushes them by. Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for years
and finally was recognized with an award. I of course know I am not
Leonardo. I am more like Clint Eastwood. No one would remember that he
has won or now, but winning the Male Singer gold prize at this age would
probably be worth everyone's applause! Thank you!" He stated that he
never wanted to be the ultimate in music, he only wanted to be a good
friend to everyone. He asked everyone not be to scared off by his
arrogant expression, he was full of passion and sentiment inside.
Having been in the top three Ultimate Music Female Singer for 17
years straight, Joey Yung Cho Yi finally broke the streak as Janice Vidal
(Wai Lan) won her first gold prize. Silver and bronze prizes went to Gin
Lee Hung Ngai and Ivana Wong Yuen Chi. Wai Lan said that she waited for
this award for 12 years. She thanked her father, sister Jill (Wai Sze) and
former boss Leon Lai Ming.
Jason Chan Pak Yu defeated the two year winner James Ng Yip Kwan
to win "My Favorite Male Singer". He won two awards. The always cool Pak
Yu got teary eyed and thanked his wife Leanne Fu Hiu Mei. "My old lady
every year would tell me it doesn't matter, 'It doesn't matter that
everyone misses out, you are already the favorite male singer of my
heart!' Thank you Old Lady!"
In terms of quantity, the band Supper Moment was the big winner
with 3 awards. The pre race online favorite Hubert Wu Hung Kwan went home
empty handed.
This year is Ultimate's 30th anniversary, the theme of which is
"Reminiscing for Tomorrow". Bands Supper Moment and Chockukmo opened
the show. Soon Nicholas Tse Ting Fung made a surprise appearance on the
stage. He in a casual look performed JADE BUTTERFLY, WITH FIRE and LIVING
VIVA as the audience stood up and screamed like mad.
The last time Ting Fung appeared at an award show as the 2005
Metro Mandarin Power Award. 13 years later, Ting Fung dropped his spatula
for an electric guitar. Although the sound system malfunctioned and his
guitar did not make a sound, Ting Fung was not only in a great mood but
also comforted the audience. "This is live!" After his performance Ting
Fung embraced the two bands' lead vocalists and said, "From this moment
on, reminisce for tomorrow!" Ting Fung will fly to Beijing for his new
record press conference and release new songs later.
Eason Chan Yik Shun has not attended an award show in years. Last
night he appeared as a guest performer. With Jan Lamb Hoi Fung's
narration, Eason performed classic hits like MY HAPPY AGE, ONE AND ONLY,
TOURBILLON to bring together the classic scenes from 30 years of the
Ultimate Awards.
Charmaine Fong Ho Man announced earlier that she was over 3 months
pregnant on social media. Yesterday she appeared in public for the first
time but still wore 4 inch heels to the awards. The DJs joked that they
had to arrange a "priority seat" for her. When she accepted her award
DJs came to lend her a hand and congratulated her on double happiness.
at17 put a photo from early in their career on their clothes to
commemorate their 15th anniversary in the business. This was also their
first Ultimate Top Ten song award.
Phil Lam Yik Hong received the Ultimate Creative Singer gold prize.
He said that after 8 years in the business the award this year was
particularly meaningful. Actually he did not pick up his Hong Kong
permanent resident identity card officially until this year. He said,
"Many singers say getting on this stage is very hard, and indeed it is;
because in the first few years I didn't even have Hong Kong residency. I
constantly had to get visas. This year I finally get to accept this award
as a Hong Konger. I am very proud to be a Hong Konger. I hope to keep
writing good songs for everyone."
When Alfred Hui Ting Hung received the Ultimate Top Ten second
place, he could not stop sobbing. Friends Ng Yip Kwan and Joyce Cheng Yun Yi
immediately embraced them to comfort him.
When Alfred accepted the award, he spoke as he cried. This
actually was already the fourth year in a row that Alfred broke down at
the Ultimate Song Chart Awards.
