Tomorrow will be the Singapore Hit Awards 2007. Here is my predictions for the 28 awards this year. How spot-on will I be? Results will be out tomorrow!
1. 最受欢迎男歌手奖 Most Popular Male Artiste
Tank 吴克群 周杰伦 品冠 张学友 张栋梁 曹格 林俊杰 牛奶 陈奕迅
My guess: 周杰伦. 60% of results come from the weekly charts, and he is the highest pointer there. 40% of results come from online polls, which he would definitely outdo the rest.
Likely close contenders: None.
--------------------------------------------------
2. 最受欢迎女歌手奖 Most Popular Female Artiste
何耀珊 孙燕姿 容祖儿 张韶涵 梁咏琪 梁静茹 石欣卉 萧亚轩 蔡依林 许茹芸
My guess: 孙燕姿. 60% of results come from the weekly charts, and she is the highest pointer there. 40% of results come from online polls, and she made it to the top 3 there. What's more, she is attending the awards!
Likely close contenders: 蔡依林. But not that likely anyway.
--------------------------------------------------
3. 最受欢迎新人奖 Most Popular Newcomer
庭竹 李宇春 樱桃帮 洪俊扬 石欣卉 蔡旻佑 迷路兵 陈世维 陈迪雅 飞轮海
My guess: 飞轮海. 60% of results come from the weekly charts, and they are the highest pointer there, among the list. 40% of results come from online polls, and they made it to the top 3. They are attending the awards too.
Likely close contenders: 蔡旻佑 or 李宇春. Neither can be really close contenders, and even if they win, it shows that their fans worked hard for the 40%. But, unlikely.
--------------------------------------------------
4. 最受欢迎团体奖 Most Popular Group
183 Club Energy F.I.R飞儿乐团 S.H.E Twins 五月天 吴建豪、安七炫 苏打绿 迷路兵 飞轮海
My guess: S.H.E. 60% of results come from the weekly charts, and they are the highest pointer there. 40% of results come from online polls, they made it to top 3.
Likely close contenders: 五月天 or 飞轮海. It seems to be a close fight among the 3 Taiwanese groups. 五月天 and 飞轮海 might fall behind in the 60% chart results, but their fans are more active voters than S.H.E's. Furthermore, 飞轮海 is attending, will they clinch the award because they 'showed face'?
--------------------------------------------------
5. 地区最受欢迎歌手奖(中国内地）Most Popular Regional Artiste (Mainland china)
李宇春 张敬轩 胡彦斌 花儿乐队 羽泉
My guess: 李宇春. This award is 100% based on online polls, but I doubt Singaporeans did their active part in this category. Given that China voters made up majority of the voters, she would definitely win.
Likely close contenders: None.
--------------------------------------------------
6. 地区最受欢迎歌手奖(马来西亚）Most Popular Regional Artiste (Malaysia）
张栋梁 曹格 李吉汉 梁静茹 品冠
My guess: 梁静茹. This is a hard guess. Since it is 100% online polled, we have to look at fan base and their activeness. 梁静茹's Singapore fans may not be active voters, but perhaps overseas voters might just fill the hole.
Likely close contenders: 张栋梁, 曹格 and 李吉汉. That's why it's a hard guess. 张栋梁 has a growing fan base and his performance on chart is significant. 曹格's abilities can't be ignored and he has quite a number of songs on chart, though not especially well-performing. 李吉汉 was the first Malaysian Idol, and had been the Best Selling Newcomer in Malaysia. He's popular in Malaysia.
--------------------------------------------------
7. 地区最受欢迎歌手奖(香港）Most Popular Regional Artiste (Hong Kong）
梁咏琪 陈奕迅 张学友 侧田 方大同
My guess: 方大同. Youngest among the other contenders, his fans might be more active. Furthermore, he's attending the awards, so who else?
Likely close contenders: 陈奕迅. He was his loyal fan base here and overseas.
--------------------------------------------------
8. 地区最受欢迎歌手奖(台湾）Most Popular Regional Artiste (Taiwan）
五月天 S.H.E 蔡依林 飞轮海 周杰伦
My guess: 蔡依林. I must say this award is this year's closest fight. All 5 can be the winner, since all 5 are really the most popular figures in Chinese pop today. 1 top Male singer, 1 top Female singer and 3 top groups vying, but I stick to 蔡依林 because of her mass appeal and her far-reaching influence on today's teens.
Likely close contenders: I really wanted to put the remaining 4 here. But perhaps 周杰伦 still stand a higher chance when compared to the other 3 groups.
--------------------------------------------------
9. 年度专辑大奖 Album of the Year
[Superman] 曹格 （滚石）
[改变自己] 王力宏 （SONY BMG）
[逆光] 孙燕姿 （EMI）
[依然范特西] 周杰伦 （SONY BMG）
[Play] S.H.E （华研）
My guess: [逆光] 孙燕姿 （EMI）. Afterall, this is a Singapore awards event, and also, 孙燕姿 is attending. Generally speaking, this album was better done than her previous one. And, most of her production team are coming too.
Likely contenders: [依然范特西] 周杰伦 （SONY BMG）. It sold well and consisted of a wide range of genres.
--------------------------------------------------
10. 最佳专辑制作 Best Album Production
专辑：This Love 爱爱爱
制作人：方大同、Edward Chan,Charles Lee
演唱人：方大同

演唱人：曹格
专辑：为爱而生
制作人：五月天
演唱人：五月天
专辑：依然范特西
制作人：周杰伦
演唱人：周杰伦
My guess: 专辑：依然范特西. More of just guessing. But on the whole, it just feels like the one.
Likely close contenders: 专辑：西界. Again, Singapore's effort might just get rewarded in this Singapore awards ceremony.
--------------------------------------------------
11. 最佳单曲制作 Best Single Production
单曲: 菊花台
制作人：周杰伦
演唱人：周杰伦
专辑：依然范特西

单曲: 爱情转移
制作人：梁荣骏
演唱人：陈奕迅
专辑：认了吧
单曲: 天使
制作人：五月天
演唱人：五月天
专辑：为爱而生
My guess: 单曲: 菊花台. This single was the best performing on chart and was quite popular.
Likely contender: 单曲: 爱爱爱. Yes, the reason why this could be the underdog, is because 方大同 is here. .
--------------------------------------------------
12. 最佳本地作词奖 Best Local Lyrics
单曲: 雨天
作词人：小寒
演唱人：孙燕姿
专辑：My Story Your Song 经典全纪录

作词人：陈佳明
演唱人：张栋梁
专辑：王子
单曲: 泪
作词人：迷路兵
演唱人：迷路兵
专辑：迷路兵
首张同名专辑
My guess: 单曲: 雨天. Actually, since 作词人：小寒 is nominated for 3 out of 5 songs, she is surely getting the award. Just that I think 雨天's lyrics made the song more emotional.
Likely contender: 单曲: 障眼法, which is also written by 作词人：小寒. The lyrics is less conventional and has a tinge of uniqueness, and could hence be the underdog.
--------------------------------------------------
13. 最佳本地作曲奖 Best Local Music Composition
单曲: 一下下
作曲人: 黄韵仁
演唱人: 同恩
专辑: 不准哭
单曲: 我怀念的

作曲人: 林俊杰
演唱人: 林俊杰
专辑: 西界
单曲: 相信
作曲人: 林倛玉
演唱人: 林忆莲
专辑: 呼吸
My guess: 单曲: 我怀念的. This song touched many and was the best performing single throughout the year. If it doesn't get the award, who else will?
Likely contender: 单曲: 一下下 or 单曲: 相信. Both composers of the 2 songs are attending as well.
--------------------------------------------------
14. 最佳本地歌手奖 Best Local Artiste
何耀珊 《拥抱》
林俊杰 《西界》
迷路兵 《迷路兵首张同名专辑》
黄义达 《完整演出》
洪俊扬 《独角兽》
My guess: 林俊杰. Without 孙燕姿, he's the most deserving. Newbies aside, 黄义达 didn't quite make it big anywhere, and neither does 何耀珊, who is the least deserving.
Likely close contenders: None.
--------------------------------------------------
15. 最佳演绎男歌手奖 Best Performing Male Artiste
陈奕迅 《认了吧》
方大同 《This Love 爱爱爱》
张学友 《在你身边》
曹格 《Superman》
王力宏 《改变自己》
My guess: 陈奕迅. A strong feeling that he'll get it. 方大同 is too new for it and 王力宏's new album isn't as good as his previous.
Likely close contenders: 曹格. His vocals are unparalleled.
--------------------------------------------------
16. 最佳演绎女歌手奖 Best Performing Female Artiste
张韶涵 《梦里花》
林忆莲 《呼吸》
孙燕姿 《逆光》
同恩 《不准哭》
张惠妹 《Star》
My guess: 张韶涵. Because she is attending.
Likely close contenders: 孙燕姿. Though she is also attending, but if 张韶涵 doesnt get this award, the organiser won't have any other to compensate her for coming.
--------------------------------------------------
17. 最佳创作歌手奖 Best Composing Artiste
方大同 《This Love 爱爱爱》
曹格 《Superman》
五月天 《为爱而生》
林俊杰 《西界》
王力宏 《改变自己》
My guess: 方大同. Needless to say, judging by the attending namelist, I know it's him.
Likely close contenders: 林俊杰 or 五月天.
--------------------------------------------------
18. 最佳组合奖 Best Group
S.H.E 《Play》
Twins 《八十块环游世界》
南拳妈妈 《藏宝图》
飞轮海 《飞轮海首张同名专辑》
吴建豪、安七炫 《Scandal》
My guess: S.H.E. The other groups just don't match up.
Likely close contenders: Not quite. Unless they want to compensate 飞轮海 for their presence.
--------------------------------------------------
19. 最佳乐团奖 Best Band
F.I.R飞儿乐团 《飞行部落》
苏打绿 《小宇宙》
樱桃帮 《亲爱的王子》
五月天 《为爱而生》
迷路兵 《迷路兵首张同名专辑》
My guess: 五月天. Still as strong as ever.
Likely close contenders: 苏打绿. They clinched the same award in this year's Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. They might be the surprise this year.
--------------------------------------------------
20. 最佳新人奖 Best New Act
庭竹 《雨声》
樱桃帮 《亲爱的王子》
洪俊扬 《独角兽》
迷路兵 《迷路兵首张同名专辑》
石欣卉 《从台北到北京》
蔡旻佑 《首张创作专辑19》
飞轮海 《飞轮海首张同名专辑》
My guess: There's a possibility that they might award to 3 people, in the form of Gold/Silver/Bronze, since so many of them are attending. If true, the GOLD will go to 蔡旻佑, SILVER to 庭竹, BRONZE to 石欣卉.
Likely close contenders: 飞轮海 and 迷路兵 are attendees as well.
--------------------------------------------------
21. 亚洲传媒大奖 (Asia Media Award)
This award is 100% internally set. But a guess would be Tank, since he's not compensated someway or another.
--------------------------------------------------
22. 年度全方位艺人奖 (Most Versatile Artiste of the Year)
This award is 100% internally set. Very hard to decide. 飞轮海? S.H.E?
--------------------------------------------------
23. 年度人气大奖 (Most Acclaimed Artiste of the Year)
This award is 100% internally set. 飞轮海?
--------------------------------------------------
24. 年度舞台魅力奖 (Best Stage Performer)
This award is 100% internally set. 张韶涵? 蔡依林?
--------------------------------------------------
25. 年度杰出本地音乐人奖
This award is 100% internally set. Possible to be given to composers. I'm guessing 黄韵仁 or 林倛玉.
--------------------------------------------------

ADDED me on facebook yet?? Ok, newbies like me are naturally gian3 about the 10 thousand things I can do in it. It's so much more interactive than boring friendster. I wouldnt have given facebook the chance, if not for the Sunday Times report a few weeks ago, and the every-now-and-then mentions of facebook by people around. Kinda cool and fun, so far.
Yesterday had Nav Dept Lunch at Little India. Too spicy food just doesnt suit me. But it really was a nice get-together, with colleagues from sister ships. After the 'corporate' lunch, my batchboys and I went for our more 'personal' coffee at Bugis. Believe it or not, although over the past year, we see each other almost every day on the wharf, we never really quite have the chance to sit down and chill. And much as you expected, gossips flew.
-----------------------
Today had Pizza for lunch! 3 people gorging 3 pizzas!
So i watched my 4th movie of the month with Khengwee and Eric.

I really can't help it. I like the simplicity, the plainness, and also, the little pain within the meanings.
Click HERE to listen, while you read the lyrics.

It actually took me 1 week to realise that my phone doesn't support Wifi. Ok, I had conveniently assumed 3G and Wifi go hand in hand. How wrong!!
Did a 2km swim with Eric today, and my tongue got all worked up--tied and twisted, after speaking few phrases of Japanese. But in a way, it's good that he kept bombarding me with sentences in Japanese, constantly keeping me on my toes. It shall be yet another day of swim with him tmr.
And [崇拜] by 梁静茹 is superb. It's the first released single from her upcoming album, and is also the theme song for a new movie. Really, trust my recommendation yo!

Yay, completed 4 rounds the reservoir this evening, covering a total of 17.2km, which is my current personal record for the Longest Continuous Run. I guess my endurance has hit a higher level now.
And it's pleasant to know that i've once again topped my Japanese test, though it became very easy with all the hints and tips revealed by the teacher. But i guess i'm better at writing, than speaking the language at the moment. Listening is killer as well.
------------------------
Anyway, yesterday afternoon was spent with Jinxiong & his committee, which was planning for a big event come March. I might be lending a hand, cos it sounds kinda cool. In fact, i did lend my 2 hands yesterday, helping them to send out the relevant letters. But since im not totally sure about being part of it, i shan't say too much yet.
I had dinner with BMT peeps, at suanthai. It's a satisfying buffet dinner, costing a total of just $22 each. Not wonderfully good, but it was really satisfying. And a great value for money too!
Me & YS.
Kiwi & Eric.
