Hello,

"Lan Dak Yau Ching Yan" (羝 得 玾 掄 胾 繃 on it since I really like this

Nope. There's still no VCD of Shirley officially released by Polygram (HK).

That's sad =(  I doubt that will it be one since Shirley will not be with
PolyGram anymore...

The question is, Can they afford her?  Isn't $$$ the main reason she
is leaving Polyram?
What other performers are with "fei tao"?

Here's a few of the better labels that I think she could do good at:

EMI, Warner, Rock Records, or even BMG.  Personally, I would just
like to Polygram strike a deal with her and keep her.
Perhaps maybe Polygram's daughter company Cinepoly can sign her!

If anyone is interested in seeing a picture of Veronica Yip Yuk Hing,
I have a picture of her on my homepage.

Perhaps I didn't completely understand what this conversation was about.
I was just looking for a company that would be willing to pay her what
she wants to keep recording albums.
Apparently, you are looking for a label that will promote her to be
their
number one female performer.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about the different labels to make an
acurate guess at what can happen.

Personally, I like all of the other singers mentioned with the other
labels.  (Ie: Sandy Lam, Wong Faye, Cass Phang, Ng Wing Mei...).

Oh well,

	Sure Shirley will be the number ONE singer of "Fitto" if she really
joined "Fitto," but the main concern is... "Fitto" is a not famous
record company, don't know whether they can produce good song for
Shirley.

You know what?  I highly doubt it.  If they produced good songs for 
Fitto's singers, where are all their singers now?  Veronica Yip the 
stripper?

	Sure I'm sure the result is "false", they has no power to push a singer
to a higher status, even they cannot keep a singer's status.  Well...
You said Veronica Yip, I even don't know who's she... maybe I know her
chinese name anyway.  I know a singer called "Leung Ngan Ling" also
under "Fitto," but she's disappeared now... for some years, and "Fitto"
is disappeared for years... haaa.  At least I nearly forget this
company.  Don't worry, Shirley will have her right choice!!

	By the way, writing an essay on "Shirley Kwan's future"?  Kidding.

Dear Shirley's fans,
Personally I dislike Fei tao. U see the sorry situation of Chris Wong
(Wong Hoi Kan) and Joyce Lee (Lee Lok Sze), I don't think it would do
any good for Shirley to join fei tao. Comparatively speaking, Go East or
BMG seem to be much better!

Yeah, but does anyone really know where Shirley's heading?  I mean, it's 
been quite a while.  I don't like Fitto too!  Actually, I think Rock 
Records would be somewhat appropriate for her.

Oh, by the way, I just bought Shirley's 
Polygram-88-whatever-compilation.  I can't hear any difference in terms 
of quality through my earphones.  Or maybe I should try some surround 
sound, eh?

RE: Shirley should join Rock REcords?
I don't think so, Rock has Sandy Lam, So Wai Lun etc., and it is quite
clear that Rock is investing a lot on Sandy Lam (although her albums are
not so best-selling now, consider how much Rock has invested in her last
album "Perfect Sensation"!) , so it's not good for Shirley to join Rock.

Me too, I can't recognize any special sound effect from my Sony CD
Player. I personally am not very happy with this album, the songs are
much similar with her "Live Concert" albums! And I really like "Holy
Mary" (with Wong Yiu Ming) and "Love Me Now", but both are not included
in her "88" album -- I am a bit disappointed!

Similarly, EMI is not good for Shirley. Remember, there has already been

Well, well, well.  Did you forget or what?  Faye Wong's under that

Cinepoly would be the right place.  Somehow I don't really like Warner

I think you guys are missing the other side of the story.

Surely Fitto is SERIOUSLY thinking of signing Shirley after announcing
an offer for Tse Ting Fung (son of Tse Yin) for a contract of 20mil.
Meanwhile after Cheung Kin Ting left the new admin is restructuring
(not mentioned in the report) and even changed the logo to build up
a new image in the next few months.  Shirley is recognized as
"實 力 歌 手 " for her special 唱 功 so it natural for the new
refreshed Fitto to sign her.

All previous Fitto contract singers like Veronica Yip are not
with Fitto anymore.

Be warned that the report only said how Fitto thought of
and no word from Shirley (of course) so don't be misled that Shirley
is heading for Fitto.

Personally would like Shirley head for Go East since she at least
sung a few songs with Tat and Ming.

For the Polygram 88 thing, i'm quite surprised that you can't hear
the difference.  I use my discman and crank up the volume the sound
field is wider (especially the older songs) and crisper.  It's
much obvious when hear from a good HiFi.  If you only have a portable,
then i can't help you.  No surround is needed, and don't even try,
surround will just bury things up.

What is your Discman anyway?  Sony Discmans sounds crappy from day one.

well, you already know what songs are in the album, there's no
new songs (so i didn't buy Pricilla's since i already have most
of her albums).

I too think that the best company for her is Go East. It still have the
marketing clout of PolyGram, and it appears to be less conservative than
the mother company. Besides, I think it's only natural for her to work with
Lau Yee Tat and Anthony Wong.

Related question: Anybody knows who producer Joseph Ip works with besides
Shirley? Does he work with anybody in GoEast, Cinepoly or Musician?

 The quality of the 88 compilation is really much better, no kidding.

You can't hear the difference through a CD player, you guys have to try it

I'm pretty sure that this list isn't complete, but here is what I know:
Anthony Wong, Kelly Chen, Daniel Chan, Ray Chan and the other girl with
whom the three did the album "Open the Skies" with.

GoEast is yet another spin-off of PolyGram (HK) Ltd.

Dear Brent,
Go East is a new recoed company in HK. ASMOF, it is sort of a subsidary
company of Polygram. Currently, there is three "polygrams" in HK, namely:
Polygram, Cinepoly and Go East. I do not know how exactly the system works
but Go East is getting more & more successful. In a sense I think it is
going to surpass PolyGram soon. The hottest singer at Go East now is a young
female just graduated from US a yr ago. Her name is Kelly Chan Wai Lam
(窅頊琳). Do you know of her? She graduated from a U at NY a yr ago. Her
boyfrriend is studying at RISD (rhode island school of design) here in the
States now. It is said that he is tall & handsome... Another group under Go
East is Dat Ming Yat Pie (帴罦瞿),  correct me if I am wrong: I think a
very bad looking jerk called Chan Yat Shun is under Go East, too.

I think shirley is much better off w/ Go East, too! because it is new, it
accept new ideas (i.e. less conservative). The image of which is young and
chic (style of Shirley). It is willing to invest
on its artists. And most important of all, if Shirley goes there, she will
be the #1 female singer there, unlike polygram... I do not think Shirley
gets the respect she deserves under poly.

Which one Daniel/Ray is 窅肇禧 The one in the vitasoy ad? The other one is
a jerk. The other girl under the "Open the Skies" is actually under polygram
instead of go east. Her name is Joyce Yau and she is no longer in the
business. She is working in an investment bank now. The record was "just for
fun", according to herself. She graduated from Brown University last May ^_^

Well... Fitto really surprised me when they made Chiu Hok Yee's "Every 2
seconds" and Joyce Lee's "I love to be loved" last year. They were so fine
in every aspect. Well recorded, well produced, and they both have a good
looking cover. It was a big jump from those Veronica Yip, Leung Ngan
Ling... early fitto crappy things. However, I still don't think they are
capable of keeping such a top quality singer like Shirley. An album of
that quality is actually a must for her. So what exactly is the 20 million
deal for her with Fitto? Do you know? 

So what about Go East? Are there any producers other than Lui Chung Tak?
This guy is okay. He makes some excellent songs occassionally.

Yep, Joseph Ip has been the producer of Shirley's albums for a very long
time, I think they are good buddies, too.

Actually, the only think I'm concerned about the new company is whether
the new people will let Shirley has her own way and style.  Hopefully,
whoever the new people are, they will not try to change her into another
image or something.

Subject: a 'question'?

Mmm, hi people...  this question is not directly related to Shirley but i
thought i'd ask it anyway:

Can you name a few good Chinese female lyricist?

I don't know if it's just me, but looking into my CD collection, i see only
a few female (Chinese) lyricists.  Why is that?  Why is it always men who
has dominated in this field - surely women can express their views through
music as well as men; the question is, how come they are not as
'successful' or should i say, not as famous as those male lyrists?

I want to hear what women have to say, and not just a soundboard of someone
else's ideas...  am i asking too much here?  I mean, yes, i understand that
in HK, if one wants to survive in the scene, one must has the look/style,
the right promotion/manager, and a bit of talent/luck.  It's not easy, but
hey, i want to hear about the ideas, i want to see your soul, and i do not
want your sex.  I think everyone has the freedom to be creative right?  Use
that freedom!  To me, i think the context is more important and a singer
should use it to touch her listener, to share ideas with them...  after
all, i think music is something more than entertainment, it is about
communication as well.  It's okay to listen to some 'trash' pop sometimes
but they never lasted long, and the problem is, the market is full of it.

I think Shirley should choose a company that will promise her a freedom to
creat and to support her; and not just use her as the 'goose that lays
golden eggs'.  Meanwhile, i'll just sit back and be as supportive as a fan
can be... and wait.

BTW, Jojo?  if u'r reading this, please could you not categorize people the
way you did?  You labelled "Veronica Yip the stripper"; being called a
stripper is somewhat negative and degrading.  In fact, she is no stripper,
it was barely a phase for her, a career move, and a wise (IMHO) one too.
She does has some talent, just take a look in the film Red rose, White
rose.  And no, i ain't a fan of her but i do despise the way you used it as
a negative point to 'prove' Fitto is no good for Shirley - well, that was
your point wasn't it?

Personally, i feel it's okay for fans to discuss about the business side of
the entertainer, but surely this has no effect in real life...  i mean,
surely Shirley ain't gonna read this and think "geee, she's right, F
company is no good for me and i'd better not have anything to do with it...
let me go and sign the contract with G company!".  I found this kind of
discussion is rather pointless...

... and i think i'd better shut up and go before i'm stoned to death...

(this message is kinda messy and i don't really have a point...  just a few
thoughts that i'd like to spill in public...)

Hey Nick, you're too tough on them... :)

There's no reason that a female lyricist should have a good look/style.
Whether this is political or managerial or just that few girls write good
lyrics is left unknown, but the fact is that there's domination of only a
few lyricists. Or even that, there's not enough lyricists for this market
and it seems record companies don't give a push and conservatively choose
those who can sell.

Record companies need the little girls to spend, that's why they're
there.

that's why Go East is a good choice, it's new, energetic and open.  See
Tat Ming, Kelly Chan, the albums are good enough to buy.

Rock? Man, see how Sandy does (Nick.. ^_*).  And Mok Man Wai, she barely
escaped the nude poster/album cover crisis only because her album got
excellent reviews.  Bad decision?  I think it's bad.  Mok's already an
in enough artist and there's no point to sell music to that "gig" level,
especially when the album is being reviewed as a good Alternative.

Hey, what IF she reads this?

This is what this mailing list does, any discussion about Shirley Kwan,
right?  It's natural for fans concern which record company would affect
the singer's choice of music and business decisions (they have to eat
and live like you and me, right?) and such discussions should (somehow
maybe) gives the singer a signal what the fans think.

She stripped, did she not?  Well, not on stage or clubs, but in movies.  And is that 
what "freedom of speech" is all about?  Why would you think being called a "stripper" 
is demeaning?  Are you looking down on this occupation?  Well, personally I don't 
dislike her or anything but it's just to make sure you know who I'm talking about.  I 
didn't say that she has no talents either.  But she chose to strip and that's her 
choice.

It doesn't matter if Shirley reads it or not.  The whole point of this mailing list 
is not to have a point, and that's why it's pointless.  Not just the topic about 
where Shirley's heading, but anything we discussed and opinions we gave seem to be 
unproductive for Shirley either.  So what?  We care about her so we talk about her, 
that's what it is.  We're just expressing what we think.  Too bad you think it's 
pointless.  I guess it's pointless for you to reply if you think you're replying to 
some pointless discussion.

regarding nicholas ? on why the industry does not have female lyricists.

there are also even less music composers probably.  i think women  who 
sing should become more involved with their albums. help produce it, 
write a song or two..or the lyrics. it is a start when you not only 
sing,  but make the music as well. i recently bought a faye wong cd and 
found out how she composes and writes as well. her previous albums have 
shown similar compositions. i respect her a little more because of that. 
it shows her dedication for music. i wish other singers would do the same.

i'm not putting down shirley nor siding with f. wong.just interested in 
the way singers are themselves. if one can sing, surely they can feel 
their way into writing. am i assuming too much?

anyways,

whatever  e' does, please remember your future? for now, release your 
album so awareness for your talent is noticed. good luck.

Shirley joins it's company...Oh, My God!!  Are there any guys remember 
who is Chris Wong still?  After he joined that company he was walked to 
die!  So, I don't think Shirley will join this "shit",oh, sorry!  I don't 
how to explain this company in correct.  Otherwise, I really want Shirley 
can join "Rock" or "Go East"- the company's artists are include of Kelly, 
Anthony Wong, 肇肇......etc.  Can all of your guys give me any comments?

Shirley's Concert Live which was relased at the end of 1995.  You should
have these double CDs as a collection.  It's the best because you can really
enjoy e's live performance and listen to her cue talks.  The recently
released Shirley--Poly88 is a good choice for fans only.  This is one of the
strategy of Polygram ;or it is even every company's policy to released an
album for an artist when he/she is facing the contract renewal problem.  By
adding a litte bit special effects(or re-mix)to the album, the company can
get more (or even last) revenue from the artist.  If you are not Shirley's
Big Fans like us, please don't border to buy this kind of "the best" album!
        By the way, I think Shirley will not go to Go East because it's the
sister company of Polygram.  Just take a look how Go East spent money in
promoting Kelly Chan.....The 2nd Faye Wong.  Does anyone here still remember
how Cinepoly(another sister company of Polygram) treat Faye Wong conpared to
that of Shirley!  It wasn't fair at all!!!!!!  So it makes no sense that Go
East will take Shirley to compete with it's Ace, Kelly Chan.
        Both Marlboro and Rock Records wiil be a good choice for Shirley as
these companies have a much stronger financial background than that of the
others.  She should be able to get a better chance to have more freedom and
flexibility in exploring her talents.
        Last but not lease, every will agree that "It's Fatal to go to Fitto!"
Alex^o^

I'm sorry if I'm a little late talking about this.  But I missed Shirley's concert 
in June '95.  I really regret that but it wasn't my fault, cuz at the time I was 
having final exams in Canada.  Can anyone tell me details about it?  How many 
people went?  How was the atmosphere?  It's too bad she only had 4 shows, I heard. 
Of course I can always watch the concert on LD, but I just wanna know what you

best in the concert.Every fan call her name loudly when concert
start.She was very beautiful in the concert.She had a little mistake in
the first concert.She forgot how to dance in a part.(I forget which
part)When she forgot how to dance,she go away!About one minute,she went
back to the stage and said:I just going to toilet!She is funny!
	Are you know she had a mini concert called"Shirley kwan new year

How are you? It is too bad that you have missed Shirley's concert. It was so
fantastic. I went to the last one. It was nearly flawless. During the encore
session, she came out so many times, I heard even the secure that it was so
rare... we had extra songs: "nai duck yau ching yin" once again and "dong
sai kai mo mui gwua" (when there is no more rose in the world..." She cried
big time.

	It is a bad news for you to miss Shirley Kwan's concert. It is the
greatest concert I had never seen before. What ever music, background
and the lights in the concert is very good.
	I was saw the second one, I remeber it is saturaday. In fact, I wanted
to see the fourth one (the last day of concert). However, the thickets
were sold out. It is too bad for me. However, I still saw her concert.
It is great.
	I think you should rent (or loan) a LD to see it. I think you will love
her more than before after you had saw the concert.

Dear Derek:
 
You wanted to know about the English songs on Shirley's Japanese album...
There IS  a song that has the words "illumination"on it:track 9--but I 
can't translate the title!!Maybe someone else could bring some light into 
that !!But the chorus of this song goes:
"Illumination in my heart(X2)
I've never told him 'I love u'
U've never told him too
Illumination in my heart(X2)
It's like a ring of 3 colour gold
A love we must hold from the start
Illumination in my heart..."...And there u go!!!Hope that was helpful!!!!
BTW, the album is act.,pretty good--I especially like track 
4("Moonlight"),although I don't know what the heck she's 
singing!!!And,half the album (act.,more than half)is in English--Alright!....

Maybe I can give some info here.

Apart from Polygram (HK) mother company, there are three subsidiaries of
it:  Cinepoly, GoEast and Musician.

Musician was established in the 1st Q of 96. Singers under this lable are
Lau Yee Tat and a female singer called Woo Pui Wai. Shirley's song Cuddle

long skirt and sandals-the scenery in the square is some desert-like landscape
with a few sprouts of grass(all in a deep cream colour). And at the

I am so happy for Shirley. She got it. This is so cool. Wong Ka Wai is
artistic. Shirley under him must be chic and it can no doubtedly increase
her prestige worldwide. May be she wld go to the Rock record company after
talking to Leslie Cheung :p But Leslie did not do really well under Rock
either... his first ablum "Beloved and Spoiled" (Chung Ai) was not exactly a
disaster but not good, Golden Branch Jade Leave two (Kim Chi Yuk Yip 2) did
not bring him up much either... 

Does anyone of you know when this film is going to be out? I hope it will be
during Christmas because I will be able to see it (I'll be in HK).

Dear Bonnie,
        I think why Kelly is so popular because because she has 
Faye's taste and look like Bridgette Lam Ching-Ha.
        Beside, not a lot of singer made good achievements like her 
on their first year in HK showbiz.  I think she can't sings well too, 
but to compare with popular singers today when they first came in, 
Kelly did a good job so far.

Apart from Bonnie's suggestions, I would like to say the albums "Love is
Forever" (Dec 91), "The Story of Shirley" (Nov. 93) and the mandarin one
"Confused" (Summer 95) are also great ones.  Are there any suggestions?

Besides, is there anyone knows where can I buy back the first Remix of
Shirley, of course, the CD Version.  I can't find it in the market.

You can also try "True Love" (Jan Ching) and "Make Mystery Dream" (Jai Jo

Of course she CAN sing! I guess she's so popular because she's sort of good
at EVERYTHING. She's tall, she's pretty, she's cool, she can dance, she can
act, she talks cute... I saw her concert in Toronto this summer, she's
really a natural born performer.

Hi,
       Which album is the best you ask?  I think some of her English
songs are really good too.  I notice that she sings extremely well in
English, with perfect flawless pronounciation.  It's unfortunate that
not too many people are aware of this and Shirely herself does not have
too many songs in English.

  Yep, Shirley does sing really well in English,prob due to the fact that 
she went to school in the states....
  Actually,when Shirley was interviewed by Wyman Wong (can't remember exact 
date...I have it on tape somewhere..)she was asked:why she doesn't have 
more songs in English and would she consider recording another Eng album
  --her reply was that the contract with the Japanese record co.(the one 
that has all her Eng songs)expired and they didn't renew it..
On why she doesn't have an Eng album out (along the likes of Alex To, 
Sandy etc)was cos she didn't think there would be enuf people out there 
to buy it,"just me listening/buying to it!"she said(or something along the 
lines of that!).
  BUT--I heard that her new album (the one that Polygram is currently 
putting on hold--anymore news,anybody??!)has an English song on it--but she 
wouldn't tell the name of the song--oh well!

There is one English song of Shirley I liked most.  It is called "Say
Goodbye" and was included in one of her Japanese album "Say Goodbye" (Nov
89).  I have the lyrics of this song, does anyone want it?  Since it cannot
be found in the homepage.  This song's lyrics was re-written in Cantonese
and was included in the Cantonese album "Love Is Forever" (Dec 91), track
no. 8.

Dear guys,
I know that this does not really relate to your work but -- I need your
help! Any info' or suggestion helps *_* I know this is a boring topic but I
am doing this speech class and the final project is coming up. Big time acty
:< My prof wants me to do sth "serious", so she "advise" me to talk about
the future of HK. My classmates nod in agreement. So I am kinda stuck w/
this topic. They are all foreigners who have quite a lot of miscon. /
ignorance on the field. I am trying to clear their mind a bit about what is
really going on (though I myself am not clear also :p) So anyways, pls help
me and ans. the following questions...

1. What do you think are the common misconceptions of foreigners on the view
of HK?
2. How to clear them?
3. Are you confy of HK after 1997?
4. What do you expect will happen? (can give more than 1 view)
5. Why do you think that way? (very important)
6. View on China HK-policy?
7. View on Britain HK-policy?
8. View on views of HK ppl (i.e. what do you & your friends think?)
9. Does econ, soc affect poli? How?

Basically they want sort of an overview of the prob. (i.e. history etc.)
That is not difficult to do :> Then they want to know what is gonna happen,
thye may think that "nth will change" but at the same time "everything will
change". What is nth/everything? What is your intepretation? Besides, only
time can tell what future lies in front of us... We are no gypsies to know.
So it is only a matter of different prospectives. So I want to incorporate
as many kinds of attitute to the prob. as possible. I really appreciate a
lot of your time used in this. You can ans the brain-storming questions
listed above or/and just give me short paragraph of how you feel and how you
think of the subject. I know it is mega-mono. but I really thank you for it.
BTW, if you can forward this to a friend, it wld be more wonderful...

(BTW, I don't want to talk about some other singers when this is actually 
Shirley's "list." )

Well, Will, I just have to agree with Bonnie Yu.  I don't think Kelly Chen is 
pretty nor does she sing well, though I have to agree that the pictures in her 
albums are of excellent quality (I like photography). I think that she sorta knows 
how to sing though not a professional yet.  But her "fake voice" sucks -- that's 
what I don't understand.  Why does she use her "fake voice" all the time?!  I 
mean, everybody can use that! I think it's one's "true voice" that counts the most 
part.  And for the other part, of course it's your talents and style.  What if 
Bonnie Yu becomes a movie star one day?  You never know!  But I think Kelly Chen 
still has a long way to go before she gets to the top.  Personally, I WOULDN'T buy 
her CD's.  I think she's famous just because she's lucky.  Being popular doesn't 
mean she's really good.  You see, not many people like Shirley -- even most 
journalists criticize her in negative ways (don't I despise them!)  That doesn't 
mean Shirley's not talented, as opposed to the truth.

Anyway, my point is, everyone has his/her own opinion, and it's okay for you to 
like Kelly Chen, it's just that I don't.

Greetings:

Gosh,what is this issue with Kelly Chen?!!!Oh well!I just have to say that 
everyone has their own opinions......

I have 2 questions:
  1.What is the name of the movie that Shirley is doing??I  think I heard 
someone say that it was "No Frills Products"(does this have anything to do 
with the Hong Kong 'Wellcome' Supermarket??!)in English,but what is it in 
Chinese??(I can't read/decode the Chinese characters on the site,so could 
somone pls write it like: "Chung hing sum lum"(that other movie Wong 
made...) 
  2.I was always wondering:does anybody know how Sheryl Crow came to 
writing that song for Shirley( "Talking to myself")?
->Did Shirley directly approach Sheryl Crow??
I'm sure Sheryl must've been really busy last year what with all the Grammys 
and awards she was receiving.All I heard was that Sheryl wrote the tune 
especially for Shirley and Shirley's music team modified it to suit Shirley's 
style.
Thanks!

Later,

I might be wrong, but it seems either it is not the same movie, or the
movie has a new name. The romanization of the title of the movie she's
reportedly working on is "Chun Kwong Jar Sit", as in Anthony Wong's hit.

No, I haven't heard of nor have I read a book named "my secret garden." 
It's in fact the name of my web page which I'm close to finish creating. 
It sort of comes from "Secret Garden" by Madonna (Erotica '92, #13) 
since I'm a big fan of hers.

Subject: Bitchin' Emails!
To: Multiple recipients of the shirley-list list 

My,my, what a flamed topic we have touched upon....The conflict of 
agreements between Shirley list members in regards to whether they think
Kelly Chen is any good or not...

Wouldn't Shirley be appalled if she read those emails!

May I make a comment:This IS Shirley's list and personal(esp.any non 
constructive) opinions on other people/stars/celebrities etc doesn't 
seem entirely appropriate.I mean,what would *we* say if some one was 
dissing Shirley(or making any sort of comments) on the Kelly List??!!
We'd never hear the end of it!!  

And,the comment by some one who stated that they prefer Kelly over 
Shirley now 'cos Kelly has released several albums this year whereas 
Shirley's is being postponed--Is this a plausible reason to make a 
preference?!!And we all know it isn't Shirley's fault that this 
upcoming album couldn't be released earlier!!

On the topic,here's an excerp of an interview in which Shirley was asked 
about her thoughts on Kelly:

(FM997:Dec 31,95)
FM997 DJ: Kelly really was an overnight success!!Do you feel pressure over 
this??Does it seem like there is a big wave catching up behind you??
S: She really shot up fast,didn't she?Of course,a wave is needed..I 
think that Kelly really has "cheen jut"( NB:SORRY!My Chinese isn't that 
great--I think this means "style"or something of the sort...) and as 
an artist,experience is really important--I hope she treasures the 
experience...

Ok,Later!

"Cheen jut"  means potential... So Kelly has the potential to be a great
pop queen... that sort! It is a very useful word.

  Hi! Sara. Where did you get the news that Sheryl Crow wrote a song for 
Shirley? From a magizine or your friends? I never heard this news before. 
I have totally no idea why Sheryl wrote Shirly a song. I think they are 
really different whatever the way they sing and also their image. And you 
mention the song 'Talking to myself', from which Shirley's album.
  Do you like Sheryl Crow? I'm sure you bought her newest album. How is it?
I read an artical which said that this album is very bad. It doesn't 
worth to buy. Is it true from your point of view?

years old)

I'm pretty sure she's born on August 15, 1967 but of course I can't say 
it is 100% correct.  Ask Shirley!

Hey Tom!!

Q:Where did I hear that Sheryl Crow wrote a song for Shirley?
A:Well,it was from a Radio Show (FM997,Dec 31st 95,2B precise)--Shirley was 
there as a guest for the "Banana Queen" segment.
(I thought the interview was rather pointless and degrading,and Shirley 
seemed rather uncomfy in answering the "mo liu" q's  ) 

Anyways,the DJ announced Shirley's new song,"Here's Shirley's new 
song!Sheryl Crow wrote it for you,eh?"
She replied, "Yeh..." <--that's all that she said !I think she was 
pissed with the question asked b4 the song came up,that's why she said so 
little. Those !@#$%^&* annoying DJ's !!!! :{
I checked the credits for the song and it was published by "Old Crow 
Music" But how Sheryl Crow actually came to writing it for 'e,I'll never 
know....

The song can be found on a remix compilation released by Polygram last 
Xmas called "Lucky Sound Remix Collection" (The cover has this really 
weird robot type figure made of musical instruments!)
The album has 2 of Shirley's songs on it:
"Talking to Myself" and "Pleasant Dream"(which I think is a *really* fab 
song..).Both have this really "alternative" feel to it.

Sheryl Crow's self titled new album is (in my opinion) reallly good--but I 
still like her first album (Tues Night Music Club)more. I guess 
it'll grow on me.....Anyways,on with the 'e news!!

Hope that helped!!

Ps:Has anybody seen the movie that uses Shirley's song "Pleasant Dream" 
('Yee Moong') in it?It's of the same title...
Just wonderin'...

Pps:Many thanks to the people that corrected me re:"cheen jut" and haha, the 
second hand car joke was really something.

Later,

Yeah I hafta agree that Kelly Chen can really sing. I mean, take her as a
beginner and I think she's great. About her looks, I think its weird how
sometimes you can think that she's really pretty and down to earth, then
sometimes she can look like she haven't slept for like months. BUT. Before I
get off topic, yeah she does have some sort of ties with shirley, from what I
notice, maybe their style...probably before both of them had fashion design
background. As for sound, she sounds more like Sandy Lam.

Polygram totally should be flamed cuz they put shirley's career in such LAG!
Gosh. I mean she is just beginning to flourish and all of the sudden it stops!
That sucks. My neck is getting longer and longer by day cuz I've been waiting
for so long. It's been a year and a half since her last album!!! What's up
with that??!??!

I also have heard that Sheryl Crow has written that song specially for 
Shirley.But I don't know how,I know this when I listen to CR2 and the 
DJ's introduction.But I think as Sheryl is not very famous in HK,people 
don't bother to mention it.And once it is also said that the composers in 
the coming album will be all foreigners.But this news is by Cr2 DJs 
almost an year ago.I think this is subject to errors!

If everyone's arguing about the issue of Kelly Chen, I suggest let's 
just drop it.  It's better for Shirley and her fans 'cuz this IS the 
"Shirley-list," is it not?  So, no more comments about Kelly Chen (at 
least for a while) 'cuz a lot of Shirley's fans are probably sick of 
this discussion about her.  I think Kelly should be discussed in HER 
newsgroup, not Shirley's.  I hope Kelly's fans understand.

They are not the same movie. "No Frills Products" (or Mo Yan Leung Bun)
should be, if any, Wong's next movie. Please refer to

In Metro Radio Music Award 96, Shirley performed Are There Any Real
Friends In Life, Talking To Myself along with Strong Enough. The host
asked Shirley and Shirley mentioned she like Sheryl Crow quit a lot.

In Alan Tam album The One And Only released 1st Q of 96, there are at
least 2 songs from Old Crow Music. FYI, the producer of Alan's albums is
Joseph Ip.

To all Shirley's fan,
        I would like to ask a question for THOSE who are TOO ACTIVE in the
Shirley list:
        "Is Shirley list the Battle field between Shirley and Kelly Chan???" 
        Should the Shirley's fan like that: Jealous, always criticise...
more appropiate defame other artists???
        Does THOSE people have second thought on what they are doing?? 
        I hope the AUTHORITY CONCERNED can take the appropiate action!!

Wei Shirleylist:

Sorry for starting such a mess about Kelly Chen....but I do like her very
much...and I think she is GORGEOUS and talented....

Anyhow, someone mentioned whether or not Shirley'slack of releasing CDs
lately is a "plausible reason" for not liking her as much as I used
to...well, sure it is!  Like a baby who is parted from his/her favourite
blanket, he/she will find another blanket to take its place...feeling this
way about Shirley is only natural....  I know that Shirley isn't the one
to blame, because it is those GREEDY bastards at PolyGram, wanting to ruin
Shirley's career!....argh... It jsut seems that the new Shirley CD will
never come and I 'm starting to give up!...argh....

I agree that we shouldn't "flame" singers on this list....however if we
should flame any singer, at least give validation...not just "she can't
sing"....  Someone also stated that they didn't like Kelly's
"falsetto"....and didn't understand why she uses "falsetto".....well
that's the style now and you've gotta stay in trend....it's called the
"90's female" sound....lots of acoustic in the background while the lead
singer, a female, uses her falsetto, making numerous octave jumps
throughout the song...eg. Faye Wong, Amanda Lee, Kelly Chen, Mavis Hee,
Kit Chan  and now Linda Wong...  

Anyways, in regard to Shirley, I think that Shirley is "one of the best
harmonizers" in HK, agreeing with Anthony Wong....one of the reasons why I
love Shirley sooo mcuh is that she has a unique sense of harmony....and a
great sense of rhythm....eg.  Forget Him:  the background vocals are
amazing!  and same for "Blessed Maria"...Shirley thought of that
background vocals herself!....

Re: Talking to Myself....I don't think Sheryl Crow wrote the song for
Shirley....I think that Shirley just covered the song...and that the
arrangement from the english version is different....I remember Shirley
saying that she played around with the song to make it more suitable for
an HK audience....

Well! You don't know who Sheryl Crow is, because she is not famous in 
H.K. or in the whole Asia. But, she is one of the top female singer in 
U.S. and Canada. If you want to know why she is so popular, I would 
suggest you to buy her first album- 'Tuesday night music club'. It is 
a pretty good album to me. I think you can buy it in H.K., try HMV.

I do not think the 2 Shes know one another personally. Most probably, I
suspect Joseph Ip just ask the famous singer-song-writer to write him
several songs and he just split it b/t Shirley & "wut dut" Alan Tam...

again, I don't want to talk too much about other singers, but me too -- 
I have all Madonna's albums and singles and videos and everything...
By the way, I think it was in 1986 that Shirley joins the singing 
competition in Hong Kong (same year as the Grasshoppers) and sang one of 
Madonna's songs ( I can't remember which one).  Does anyone know?  
Shirley had really short hair then too.

I'm not trying to talk about other singers again, but in general, I realize the beauty 
of the "falsetto" (if that's what you call it, I don't know the proper name).  I hope 
you realize that I'm not against it or anything, my point is that -- in my opinion -- 
Kelly Chen overdoes it, and doesn't do it well.  For example, Faye Wong and Kit Chan 
do that perfectly.  BTW, I think Amanda Lee sort of copies Shirley's style of singing. 
Again, please correct me if you disagree.

Subject: Falsetto/ fake voice

With regards to the popular "falsetto", pls share my opinion:
1. Kelly Chan: I think she is too raw & new. Potential, but not       now.
Her voice is too thin. But she has the conditions to be a     future pop
queen...
2. Amanda Lee: She is ok. I think her voice quality in high notes
fluctuate quite a bit. There is a danger she falls in b/t          singing
and shouting and sometimes a slight lack of control        and thus her
voice coming out of her throat rather than         diaphragm i.e. 瓴欽磷 
3. Faye Wong: She has a beautiful voice. But yet, she has the         danger
of fluctuating performance. Maybe her "mood" affects         her too much...
4. Kit Chan: I adore her. She is a messo-alto, I think. She has
strong and powerful voice. Good singing base, but I think         she can
master her real voice much more better than the         "falsetto". Has
anyone of you listened to her new album         "hurted heart"西菃禧 Song
track 8 "Date" 嫟禧Nice attempt, but it sounds difficult of her to slide
quickly from real voice to fake    voice... But she is still great. She is
only 22. There is         long way to go. She starts of better then others,
too.         Cool.
5. Mavis Hee: She is new cute and have a good singing base.
Potential... But I have not been exposed to her much...
6. Linda Wong: She cannot sing! There is no support from the  stomach. Her
voice is too thin. This is a typical example         of "chicken voice"
寓蓽. She still needs a lot of         practice.
7. KWan Suke e: Lo and behold, I still think shirley is the best, though I
do like some of the singers mentioned above...

Put it simple, she has a special way of touching my heart. When she is doing
the acoustic "unplugged" stuff, (not the time she is doing harmony), she has
this sandy "sa sa di"政政遞 texture in voice, adding a french sentiment in.
Really moving. BTW, does anyone knows she covered quite a # of french songs
in her previous albums? And all from the same french album. Jo Jo might know
it, since she study french. I cannot speak french but my sister studies it.
She has bought a few french cd, and by chance, we came across this...

It is the previous album by Elsa in around 1992 (quite a while ago), she is
a very popular and prestigious singer in france, I suppose. Every one knows
her. Anyways, Shirley got quite a # of songs from that single album:
-- "Fake Love" ±遞糌R 
-- "Under the star light..."e嚕臸
-- "Untied Kite" 菇壓聘遞凊
-- "Calm light" 棣汯簏歎@彃霓
You may want to check it out. I did not know it either, until "Fake Love"
was out. Then my sis intro. me to Elsa and I started to listen to her.
Though I have no idea what Elsa is singing, she has a beautiful voice. The
best thing about Shirley is: she did not really copy out from Elsa. I was so
afraid that she wld just copy Elsa's singing technique but in "Under the
star light..."e嚕臸, Shirley proves that she is so much more than a
plagarist. She has her own style... ^_^ I esp. like the melody of track 7
>from that Elsa CD, too bad Shirley did not cover it... I was sorta waiting
for it, after "Fake Love" & "Under the starlight"... But well, I still have
hope in her upcoming album. I am turning into a giraffe (long neck) .......
>from too much waiting.
Later...

Love, on on

PS Did I give validated support to my arguements? ^_^

OK, I withdraw the "wut dut". I cannot deny that he did make some
contribution to the HK entertainment field. He has good singing techniques.
Some songs of him are nice. In fact "who can change it?", theme from old TV
series "tin si tsup wai" 肖 , is one of my favorite. And he sang "will
you love me tomorrow" w/ Shirley". But whenever I think of his song "proud
bone" (Oh gwut)and others too, it just gives me the chills. And the notion
of "25 yr old every yr" is a bit too hypocritical to me (this is not flame
is it? it is rather a Q of attitude, right?)...

-- [ From: Bulldog's Better Half * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --

If you are using Netscape, I think the easiest way is to click your right
mouse button on a JPEG image in 'e space and select "Set as wallpaper".
Netscape will automatically save the image file as "netscape.bmp" under its
directory by default, and change your wallpaper at once. You don't even need
to go to Control Panel. The disadvantage of this is that if you select
another image as wallpaper, you will lose your previous one because Netscape
will overwrite the previous "netscape.bmp" file. Therefore, it's better to
save the previous Shirley bmp file under another name before you repeat the
procedure. 

I am not a computer expert and I am still using Win 3.1. But I have done
that for many times and find it very convenient and efficient. You can see
the result immediately and if you don't like it, just click another image,
and VIOLA! another Shirley wallpaper.

mimi

hey all, with regards to this "don't talk about other artists" stuff, isn't
this an open forum?  I mean, it would get pretty boring just reading
messages saying "when is Shirley's new album coming out?" etc.  As long as
it relates to shirley somehow, right?

Personally, i didn't really know Kelly Chen well, but after all this talk,
i went out and bought her cd which turned out to be really good (albeit
short).  Some of the songs are stylistically similar to Shirley's songs,
but *of course* not as well executed in the vocals.  Oh well, i guess
they'll do until Shirley's album comes... much better than the average
cantopop stuff.  btw, anyone know how good Linda's new cd is?

Hi Will,

I don't think that's such an inconvenience; I also don't think that a
majority of the listed people would think that way.  So if these emails
bother you so much, withdraw from the list.

Hi Will,

So you think those one-sentence-only emails are not "important
contributions"  ( sentence like : "Yeah, I agree.")  ?  You are wrong.
Sometimes it's good to know that there's
somebody who'd agree with you.

I agree with Bonnie cuz' it's not like you don't have a choice.

As a constructive suggestion, a simple parser may be the solution

to the 'one line email' problem (for those who consider it a problem)

simply cuts out the embedded msgs before reading it; better if only

one line is left you skip and don't read it.

This list is a million times better than the average news group already,

there seems to be lots of respect and courtesy in everybody's msgs.

Yes, this is a already pretty good and enjoyable newsgroup.  WAY TO GO!

I saw that most of the VCDs here in Los Angeles are cheaper than the CDs,
like $12 to $14.

Recently, I bought a CD. It was included an application form of her fans 
club. At that time, I am thinking that does Shirley has a fans club too?
I mean an actual fans club, not the one on net. It is like, it will hold 
an annual meeting or mini-concert, Shirley will shows up and sings. So, the 
fans of Shirley can meet together and talk to Shirley face to face. 
Perhaps we can take a picture with her. I always dream that I can take a 
picture with her. Then post it on the wall.

Wow!!! Does this *really* mean that 'e has an official fanclub?? When I 
bought "Story of Shirley",there was a fan club application form there--I 
wrote and no one replied!!Then I wrote to Polygram(courtesy of the 
address found in Shirley's '95 diary)and still there was no reply!!
Which cd did u buy???

And about taking a pic with 'e,I was lucky enough to snap one when she 
came for a charity show (Mount Saint J's Hosp)a few years back.:)..Has 
anyone else ever met 'e in real life,spoken to 'e, etc??

On the topic:is anybody interested in a Canadian gathering of all 'e's 
fans??We could get together, swap stuff, etc--we might even get Shirley 
to come(yeah right--but hey,I'm allowed to dream,right??!)or, even 
better:a  gathering of all her Vancouver based 'e followers!!!
but, of course,most unlikely--but pls would some one give some feedback!!! 

Oh, and to Bonnie, Forest,tom etc..:Totalllly agreeeeee!!!!

OK,later, 'e People!

*****Sara:Well,I don't think that the majority of us 'e fans would think 
this way, since we *are* (and I don't speak for everyone,but the majority of 
us,that is) devoted fans and the long wait is worth it (yes,we are a little
impatient now,but that doesn't change a whole lot). 
  And, -- we would never give up on Shirley(or waiting 
for the new cd)cos of impatience!! 
  I don't think any *loyal* fan would give up on their fave artist just cos 
he/she has not released anything new for the past year--Western artists 
could take as long as 2-3 years!!Most of us are satisfied listening to her 
old songs until anything new comes out.
  I guess u're not such a big a fan as other members of the 'e list....
And about the blanket:whose theory is this??I don't think it's Freud's 
theory,is it?I could be wrong.Sorry if I seem ignorant--I've only taken 
first year Psychology.

Yes! Shirley does have an official fan club. I was a member for one year 
in 92-93, I believe.(I can't remember the exact year actually.) I didn't 
really enjoy being a fan club member. Usually, there are three gatherings 
in a year. The main one is her birthday party. When I was a fan club 
member, I also attended a mini New Year Concert which was held in a hotel. 
That was a good memorable gathering, I think. Apart from that, you will 
usually ask to go to TVB or some other functions. If you want to take 
some pictures, her fan club really offers you a good chance. However, if 
you don't like to attend the "normal" functions(eg, going to TVB), I don't 
think you are really that enjoy for being her fan club member. That's why I 
didn't renew my membership card when it expired. Furthermore, if you are only 
interested in her birthday party and mini concert, you can still go even though
you are not a member coz' you have to paid the entrance fee. (about $280-$300)
However, I think it's not a good time to join her fan club right now 
coz' I heard somebody said it's pretty disorganized. Moreover, at this 
point, no function is held recently. Perhaps, you can think about it 
after Shirley re-organizes her fan club.

I'm interested in participating in a Canadian gathering. I used to live

there is a gathering in summer, I am sure that I'll go coz' I definately 
will go back to Van. during summer. If you have any new info, please

Subject: Otherness?

Hi people.  I have this little request...

I remember there was a list member (sorry i forgot your name - trashed my
mails too quickly...) here who mentioned this French CD which Shirley did a
few covers?  Could you please tell me the full name of the singer, title of
CD, etc?

Do you think Shirley was ever influenced by any other singer/actress?  I
hear people say that other singers like Faye were influenced by people like
(the late) Theresa Tang (sp?), Cocteau Twins, Cranberries, etc; and Sandy
did enjoy listening to people like Sam Hui, BeeGee, etc.  What about
Shirley?  Did she ever say she admires so and so's work and claimed that
she was influenced by some others?

And er, was there a 'story' behind how she started her career (before she
entered the competition)?  Like (here comes my imagination), one day in her
childhood, she watched this movie and then bang, the music in the movie
touched her so deep that she thought she ought to express herself through
music and share her joy with other people...  It's funny but for some
entertainers, performing/singing is like a destiny to them...  I mean, look
at Tori (yes, JoJo, i am a big Tori fan*) Amos, she learnt how to climb to
the piano stool before she learnt how to walk and she could 'compose' tunes
before she could put a sentence together.  And then Sandy, she has a very
strong musical background in her family back home...  (don't worry, i won't
go on :> ).  I am just curious if there was a real interesting Shirley
Story too.

Oh, one more request, other than the French singer above, did Shirley ever
cover any other people's songs?  It'd be great if someone has already
worked out a list of it!  All i can remember is that the one Vanessa
Williams did a few years ago (and of course, Roxette)...  I would love to
explore some other new stuffs.  Or, if you hear a singer whom you really
like or thinks her/his style is closed to Shirley and would like to share
with others, please, do tell!
BTW, you don't have to spill everything in public, you could always reply
in private you know.

Ohoh, one last thing (honest), i hear people talking about this official
MTV VCD thing of Shirley, care to give us more details?  Yes, i believe
giving full details of her recently released VCD is a very appropriate and
sensible thing to do HERE!  and do it NOW, please.  Is it a MTV VCD or is
it a Karaoke thing?  I saw Sammi's VCD not so long ago and the production
is really...  "Ma Fool"?!

Okay, that's all for now and let's Enjoy this Winter peacefully.

God bless.

* Jojo, how did you know i am a Tori fan?!  Was it because i did refer to
"don't want your sex" thing?  I was actually 'un-quoting' one of Shirley's
song "Secret Meeting", "Leather" comes into my mind a bit later...
subconscious?  Like i said, i was just writing that one while in trance...
just like i am now  ;)  BTW, got any boots to trade?!

Did you configure Netscape to use the Chinese fonts in the "General

Dear Tom,

That option is for Unix version of Netscape as I know (somehow they still
put the code there for some unknown reason.)  You have to install either
Unionway or Chinese Partner to view them under MS Windows environment.

Hello,

This message is to those who maintain a pop star webpage.

Did you received a message from a dude at taiwan awhile ago?  He is asking
for premission from all pop star webpage owners to give him premission to
copy the entire homepage and put them on a cd-rom so some entry level users
can access the page via the cd-rom.

I brought it up on the Vivian Lai mailing list, and most people agree that
we should ignore this guy as he and his company  would be the only one
benefited from this thing.  I hope people on this list who is maintaining a
pop star webpage should ignore him (ie, don't reply to his message.)

WW: Well, It's not so simply the "one sentence replies" that is bugging

or "Yeah I know"....  this type of mail, if it is in fact to make someone 
feel better that someone else shares the same opinion, should be kept in 
private....I acknowledge that 1 sentence e-mails are not always 
"pointless", as sometimes people just don't have much to say and might
just ask a "one sentece" question to a problem....there's a difference 
between these one line e-mails and the pointless "Yeah I know" e-mails...
Another thing is that, I cannot tell which e-mails are going to be short 
or long...so what do you mean by telling me not to read the "short 
mails"?  What, am I supposed to have ESP or something?
_____________________________________________________________
  
*****Sara:Well,I don't think that the majority of us 'e fans would think 
this way, since we *are* (and I don't speak for everyone,but the majority 
of us,that is) devoted fans and the long wait is worth it (yes,we are a 
little impatient now,but that doesn't change a whole lot). 
  And, -- we would never give up on Shirley(or waiting 
for the new cd)cos of impatience!! 
  I don't think any *loyal* fan would give up on their fave artist just 
cos he/she has not released anything new for the past year--Western 
artists could take as long as 2-3 years!!Most of us are satisfied 
listening to her old songs until anything new comes out.
WW: Well, you've obviously overestimated your own opinion...what about 
Anita Mui or Leslie Cheung?  Didn't they retire from the music scene 
...although indicating they would eventually return?  Don't tell me they 
didn't lose fans!  Many of their fans turned elsewhere after they 
left for a while....and when they did return, many of their so-called 
*LOYAL* fans flocked to other fan clubs....
  

I guess u're not such a big a fan as other members of the 'e list....
And about the blanket:whose theory is this??I don't think it's Freud's 
theory,is it?I could be wrong.Sorry if I seem ignorant--I've only taken 
first year Psychology.
PS:I've hugged the same teddy bear since I was 2, and nothing else 
will do!!
WW: Well, exactly, my point is that if i took your teddy bear away from 
you, eventually, you'd give up and start looking for another teddy 
bear...  I am a Psych/Law major....  I was more referring to the "recency 
effect"....Freud is more a psychoanalytical psychologist....I'm using a 
social psychological perspective....anywayz, the recency effect states 
that basically we are more partial to "what's been done for us 
lately'...and if Shirley hasn't been "doing much for us lately", then it 
is quite plausible to think that we will look elsewhere....   if you 
don't believe me, go yourself and read Miller and Campbell's report 
studies...or Haugvedt and Wegemer's study reports.....

What do you mean I'm not as "big a fan as some others on the list?"  How 
many guys out there do you know that have all of Shirley's MTVs...and can 
sing all her Karaoke songs from 1993 onwards?!?!?!  Think twice before

*****Sara:If u read closely enough,I said,"for the past year"and not 
5,10 or 15 years.Read carefully.Of course fans will turn to others
if their fave artist has not released anything new for the past 
XX years--the case with Leslie/Anita is slightly 
different,they stated that they quit singing(how indecisive of them,I would 
be pissed as a fan too) --BUT: Shirley is *still* singing (and mentioned 
briefly here and there), it is just a
matter of time before we get something new from her...So,till the day 
that 'e says she'll stop singing,she'll still be number one in the *loyal*
fans POV....Or,in the realllly devoted fans POV, whether she continues 
to sing or not.

*****Sara: Hey,simmer down, I said,"I guess" and not,
"U ARE NOT A BIG A FAN AS OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!" there is a difference.
We may be impatient,but we're still waiting and still strongly support 
her,unlike some individuals who have flocked to others cos others have more
albums out in the past year....

Will, just a reminder. If you find individual messages difficult to manage,
you can always turn on the "digest" option for your subscription. That way,
you'll only get one mail containing all the messages posted in that day. No
more worries about "one sentence replies".

The full title of the VCD is

Therefore, subtitles are always on screen. :-( For details of song list,

	I wonder how many of you have a complete collection of Shirley's MTVs!I 
mean the MTV made by TVB!I think that the quality and her performance of 
the MTVs are very high and they are very precious!Like "Make a Mysterious 
Dream" is even better than the karaoke video!And "Love me Now" and so 
on!Do you guys have such rare collection?

This is only a guess. I hope I do better than the blanket theory last time. :-P

Those MTVs that you see on TVB are produced by TVB, and hence, they've the
copyright. As to why most (dare I say all) Karaoke MTVs are different, I
think it's either because TVB is reluctant to let the record companies use
them, or it wants an inordinate sum of money for the use of the material,
so that it simply make better financial sense for them to make their own.

As an aside to this MTV discussion..

One of her MTV is filmed inside an elevator or

(I think the MTV is 'Late Night Harbour.)

So is the CD Cover of 'All time Favorites.'

Not sure if many of you know 'bout this.

I think you should install the downloaded file, asurf.exe.  First put the
downloaded execution file into the temporary directory (e.g. C:\Temp), run
it to extract the files.  Then run setup.exe for installation.  For question
arising from the program, see the readme.txt file.  Delete the temporary
directory after the whole process

I have attached a word document concerning this to you own e-mail, not
through the list.

most propbably. it is because of the contract issue. tvb is a bad co. she
does not allow singers to appear in different tv channels other than herself
if the singer has a tvb contract... neither can the things the singer
recorded w/ tvb be issued outside of tvb sources. as a result, if you see a
version of mtv made by tvb, it can only appear on tv. for karaoke, the
record co has to make its own. but sometimes, the $$ and quality spent on
mtv is much higher and better from the record company, tvb wld be most happy
to use this version instead: 1st it is more gd-looking, 2nd tvb itself can
save money. this esp happen in polygram e.g. the marlboro hits songs.

The "Talking" MTV is really cool...Shirley has that "World Concert" 
haircut, wears a mod-style clothes...th video is all black in the 
background, with images of candles overlapping Shirley at one points in 
the video....  VERY COOL VIDEO!  Too bad there's no Karaoke for 
it....argh...

pps:Could someone pls explain why some artists make an MTV then

%%%%%Sara:I bought the Ex one in HK--the only difference is there are 2 
songs:"Forget Him"is in Mandarin(if u have the 95 compilation<"sai toe 
serng">,it's there-- "Pity" ho sik..)and another song is sung in 
Mand,"This is love"other than that,the whole album is the same...

As for the Jap "Story of.."--not reccomended if u have the HK one already--
When I asked the storekeeper what the diff was,I was told that it's 
recorded in better quality--unless I'm deaf,I can't tell the diff.
And,the songs are all the same,except for a few old ones added on for the 
Japanese audience(eg Dela,Dear,etc..)

Thanks for describing the vids--where did you get them again?? 
What other vids are worth mentioning??I was told that the "Faded love legend"
 vid was really cool--where 'e does some groovy 
dance moves...

This is totally unrelated (sorry!), but just as it's the worst fire in
recent history in Hongkong that you guys who don't have access to
HK newspaper should take a look.  It's a horrendous blaze in Yau
Ma Tei broke out at 4pm yesterday and lasts overnight causing at least
7 deaths, 70 injured and 40 missing.  Go to http://www.hkstandard.com/

Are you talking about the person who have send a message about the fire in
HK? I do not think that is to be frowned on. It is very important info' one
wld like to know. 

Ppl who join the e' list are those who are interested in HK. Because Shirley
is from HK. So we care about things. Imagine, if we are in the periods of
Tiananmen square 1989, or World War 2 or sth. We wld like to know more about
the region and so on inaddition to info' on kwan suke e'...

Yes, I am not talking about ppl sending message about the tragedy.

I am pointing to whose sending message, just asking "where do you live??",
"I like ONE SENTENCE MESSAGE", "I am in somewhere and take some course, are
you the same??" or something like that. All these are nonsense personal
thing, ever Shirley will be interested in these nonsense thing????

Again, I hope the Shirley's fan in 'e list can behave yourself!!

Yes, I have seen it before. But some samply of songs listed could not be
found. And the site is a bit old (renew more than 1 yr ago) If you go to:
http://www.iscs.nus.sg/~leeyongm/
You would find this link there too. This guy has quite complete links for HK
Pop star. Really a spot of interests. You can check it out. But recently,
the page is under reconstruction. So it takes some time to go back to see
the old main page... Chiao.

I forget it's where PolyGram located.  From today's news, master tapes
of Teresa Tang, Sam Hui and Michael Kwan may be lost, this is such a
great lost to us.

However it's what Chow Sang Sang's lost is the greatest.

let's pray for the victims and their family.

Anyhow, when we were talking about Kelly Chen on this list, it was 
relevant because
we were talking about her record sales and her voice in contrast to 
Shirley's....

remember someone asked me about the french album where suke e got 4 songs
covered from, including "fake love","under the starlight","untied
kite","calm light"... i am sorry to tell you that i do not have the cd w/ me
t this moment. my sis has it. the name of the singer is just ELSA. i think
it was made around 1992. the cover of the cd was blue background w/ a b/w

Hi Everyone,

If my so called "personal messages" bother you guys so much, then I'm
sorry!

Personally, I don't think that is such a big deal, as long as I don't
overdo it.  

It takes at least two to send "personal messages", as I recall, somebody
started it first.  Anyway....it's no point to talk about that now.

So don't worry, Pseudonmy, no more "personal messages" in your mailbox.

Hi Everyone,

Recently, I listen to the "Montage II" CD when I drive, and the song
"Still Shedding Tears"  (forgot the track number) is so good, I like it a
lot.  It proves once again that Shirley's songs are so good that you enjoy
listening it it even though they are like, 5 or 6 years ago.

Hi!

Can anything please explain to me what happened exactly a few years back,
the time when Shirley released "Dela", to give rise to the rumour that
Shirley "stole" Anita Mui's boyfriend - Lam Kwok Bun? Did Anita Mui tell the
press about that, or was Shirley photographed with Lam? I have seen an
interview of Shirley by "Entertainment News". They didn't talk about the
cause of the rumour, but Shirley said that she didn't even know Lam well.
That's all I know. I think that rumour almost destroyed Shirley's career. So
I really want to know what gave rise to it, and why people gave it that much
credibility. Does anyone know?

(Probably I will be using IE to read mail from now as it can filter out

In fact there were 39 persons killed in this terrible incident, in which 33
of them were burnt severely that were hardly recognized their identities.
Till now, 30 of these 33 bodies' identities were checked and initially
confirmed.

May God bless them all!

Hi,

A while back, On On mentioned about an album by the French singer Elsa,
>from which Shirley covered a few songs from. I think it'd be a good idea to
put together a list. Anyone has more info of this sort? So far we have

-- "Fake Love" "遞糌R
-- "Under the star light..."-e嚕臸

I'm sure there're a lot more.

it was made around 1992. the cover of the cd was blue background w/ a b/w
(white=blue) pic of elsa. the back cover is a zoom in macro of a catus. it
is a very nice album. and you can compare her singing technique w/ kwan suke
e's... chiao.

I was reading Ming Pao today and was told that Shirley's producer - 
Joseph Ip was the first one to notice smoke in the hallway via the 
surveillance camera.  He then called the police with his cell phone and 
rushed down the stairs with other people in the studio.  They were 
believed to be the first group to escape.
