Songs- 鄭俊弘 Fred Cheng - 忘了嗎 Did You Forget

Image
Hello Everybody! We apologize for our infrequent posts as life gets in the way sometimes. Today, we are sharing our thoughts on Fred's new song, 忘了嗎. It was just released this morning on The Voice Entertainment's Youtube channel. Many people have commented on it already and we personally think that it's a pretty good song. First of all, it's been a while since Fred has had a song other than a TVB theme song so that's exciting. Also, this song really shows Fred's style. It's hard to explain but the moment you hear the voice, you know it belongs to Fred. That is the key to establishing yourself as a singer. We think that if the audience can't recognize your voice, then what's the point? Another thing that's important is the tune of the song, for example it is easy to recognize the first few notes of  Beyond's 光輝歲月because it's so powerful. Hong Kong music is lacking this now. Every song kinda sounds the same, same flat tune and there...

Identical Celebs #1

Image
We know the nightmare of walking into a party wearing the same outfit as your best friend, or worse, your worst enemy. We have two matching dresses that these celebrities wore, thankfully not at the same time!! First up is Sharon Chan and Priscilla Wong! Sharon wore this for the 2011 TVB Anniversary Gala. For the 2015 TVB Calendar, Priscilla Wong wore the same dress! There were slight alterations made with the added straps The criss cross front of her dress appears darker than Sharon's and my guess is that they cut parts of the dress for the straps and sewed on some more fabric from the bottom which is why it appears sewn together at her hip but not on Sharon's. Now for our second identical dress! This is Jacqueline Ch'ng (Chong) wearing Kev Yiu's gold, glittery mermaid dress. Here we have Samantha Ko in the exact same dress a few months ago! But wait! There's more! Kev's good friend Myolie Wu also wore that same dr...

All-time Favourite Dramas #1

Image
From time to time, we will be posting our favourite dramas that we've seen. Our first favourite drama that we will present to you  is..................... A FISTFUL OF STANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This drama is about martial arts and revolves around a tragic family. The Cheung family owns a martial arts school but the father has been missing for a number of years and the eldest son was kidnapped. The family believes Wing Dak (Dominic Lam) is behind all these crimes. The two families go head to head many times using martial arts.  The reason why we love this so much is because it has everything a drama can have, family, brotherhood, action scenes, scheming, revenge, crime, mystery, comedy, romance, and of course great acting. This is the first drama that Cee found Kenneth Ma to be a great actor (now, not so much, but more on that in another post). Kevin Cheng was adequate in his role although Kenneth stole the limelight from him quite a lot. Yuen Qiu is splendid as the ...

Artists- HK Artists Fashion Face-off #1

Image
Hello Everybody! First of all, so sorry for not posting in a while! We've just been super busy but today I will be introducing something new! This is our first Fashion Face-off post. This will be a continuous post as there will be more rounds. What we did was pick out a few of our favourite elegant and casual looks from some Hong Kong artists. Some of their worst outfits will be shown too, just to be fair. We will describe them and give some details and of course, our opinion on the look. We will choose our pick and please let us know what you think in the comments! Up first is Kate Tsui! We picked her first because of her drama "Smooth Talker" airing right now. Kate wore this for the 2012 TVB Anniversary awards and this is one of our favourite looks from her. She looks radiant in this white dress. The peplum design accentuated her figure nicely and although it is hard to see in this picture, this dress has flowers embossed throughout the gown. The updo was s...

Songs -- 你瘦夠了嗎?- Joyce Cheng 鄭欣宜

Image
你瘦夠了嗎?- Joyce Cheng 鄭欣宜 This new Joyce Cheng song was released in March. The song reminded us of All About That Bass from Meghan Trainor. They are both fighting the need to be skinny because there's beauty within everyone despite your appearance. Their songs deliver a strong message about body image because they have dealt with it first hand. I will just translate a little bit of Joyce's lyrics.  蚊跳到 象都可跳到 不要講 又瘦掉兩磅就更好 纖瘦好 但她只吃草 而我正吃漢堡   A fly can jump, but so can an elephant.  No need to say it, but if you lose those two pounds, you'd be better ... She only eats grass and I only eat hamburgers.  (國)你瘦夠了嗎? 當你 吃飽飯就沒人愛~嗎? Are you skinny enough yet? Will you not find love once you eat until you're full? The lyrics are pretty straightforward and Joyce proves them right with her flexibility and dance moves. While her music video is dark, Meghan Trainor used soft pastel colours. I actually did not know what her song was about when I saw the t...

Sze You Tonight (Thoughts and Comments)

Sze You Tonight is a TVB special hosted by Johnson Lee. Its style is similar to American talk shows like the "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". We have got to say that the name of the show is quite witty with "Sze" replacing "See" as "Sze" is a character of Johnson's Chinese name. Johnson invites celebrity guests up to his show. The guests come up to introduce or advertise new dramas, movies, songs, etc., that they are part of. Although, the show is creative, it is spilling with rude humour. We think Johnson is a bit overboard with his jokes. His topics often stray off to something inappropriate and even disgusting. We found the whole thing on Jackie Chen, his dressed up assistant was overboard. Johnson frequently made unnecessary insults towards Jackie's working abilities. It seemed he was harassing Jackie Chen, even if it was just for entertainment purposes. Instead of laughing, we...

Artists-- Pairings We Would Like to See

Here are some of the pairings that we came up with. We paired the tvb artists based on their collaboration history, age, acting and such. 1. Kevin Cheng and Kate Tsui Age: 45 and 35 They haven't collaborated on any drama that we've seen and we'd love to see them. They have both been with TVB for a number of years and now that Kevin is filming more for TVB, it would be a perfect match                                                                                                              2. Kenneth Ma and Linda Chung Age: 41 and 30 They were a couple (ish) in the last episode of Yes Sir, Sorry Sir back in 2011. Linda does not have any upcoming dramas either, so we would love to see them together! T...
