i do not know, i am not even sure if this TA still keep in touch with her. i
mean, how can he have known that she will perform in a round the world
concert? it is really an enigma to me. maybe i sure go ask him sometime, but
the problem is: i am not in his class and he does not know me personally and
it would be awkward to ask Q like that...

Sorry but his title should be HK's "Siu Sit Chit Joy", the famous
songwriter in Japan!

Alex,
I live in Vancouver as well but I don't think I know you. Anyway, I
agree with you pretty much. I feel sorry for shirley 'cos she could be
one of most popular female signer at a time. (we have to admit that she
is not that popular now) At the time when Priscilla Chan has gone for
her education and Anita Mui was about to leave the stage and Faye wong
was not as popular, Shirley could be the hottest feamle signer at that
time. I don't know why her producer Joseph Ip and her did not promote
some popular and comercial songs? Back to the style like her first three
albums. After that she then can play with her style. There is a very
good example--Faye Wong. She came back up to the top with some really
good songs (miss you night and day, a woman who is easily hurt)and now
she plays with her wills and stlye. I think Shirley should go to a new
company as you said

Subject: Re: thanx
Hi,
After reading your long e-mail, I wanna say something. I personally
agree with you about Polygram. I like grasshopper and Shirley and
Hacken. The reason why Hacken moved to Star from Polygram is because
Polygram has got too many BIG stars, like Jacky Cheung and Leon. This
will then limit the amount of good songs to a signer. Anyway I hat
Polygram and I don't want to say any more about it.
A good producer is also very important to a signer. Refer to what you
said about Kelly, she popped up at the right time. I think it is the
producer behind(Lui jung duck!?) who had all the sucess. Just look at
Kelly's first personal album, almost all the songs were written by him
including all the popular songs. In the same way, Joseph Ip is also
important to Shirley. BUT I am questioning about his talent. He does
records with only two signers in Ploygram, Alan Tam and Shirley. Now as
we know Alan Tam is sort of retiring and his record is comparatively
easily to do. Then all J.IP has to do is to make records with Shirley.
And we all know that Shirley releases her album not very frequently.
Then what the hell was he doing? I mean, I am not pleased with some
album like "making ecstasy dream" and "dela-montage 1.2".
I also want to point out that 'commercialised' songs are the source
of money and popularity. I know MANY people stopped listening to Shirley
after the song "fan yum" which all of them said the song was hardly
listenable! poor Shirley. Shirley is a very talented signer, she can
sign many kinds of songs but all she need is good and quality songs!
Just check out "dream partner" in 'all time favourates', I would
classify that song to be a 'commercialised' song but the arrangement and
Shirley's talent turned it into a 'commercialised and STYLE' song! It
was fantastic! Isn't that what we want, Shirley's style and quality
songs! WHY can't Joseph Ip get a dozen songs like that for every
Shirley's album?? I don't know and I want to conclude that style will
get listeners like us but not everyone.
BTW, vittoria(or should it be victoria) we are both @direct.ca, I live
in Richmond and study in London, where do you live? Vancouver or
Victoria?
