"SPOP Gala will climax with a big show this Sunday at the Indoor Stadium. Before the big bang, let me share with you some strange things that happened during these few days leading to this Gala…
It was a pity an initially very enthusiastic big time singer (I grew up with those songs during college days) couldn’t accept the invitation to perform on Sunday. Perhaps sharing the same stage with the one this singer so deeply loved once but now separated may be too much to bear…"
[My guess: 林忆莲 is the big time singer. 李宗盛, who is attending the gala, was her husband]
***************************************
"Up till today, we are not sure if another singer scheduled to appear is going to sing or not. This once-and-I-think-still-is-very-well-loved singer is such a perfectionist she couldn’t be sure if she would be in top form after a long break (actually retired) from singing for almost half a year liao…"
[My guess: 陈洁仪 is scheduled to appear. She has retired from singing and is now in the corporate world for about half a year.]
***************************************
"I once suggested inviting this self-financed singer who claimed to have written more than a thousand songs (strangely, he counted those unpublished songs as well). Well, you see…he has one single song which was picked and sung to fame by a heavenly queen 吗... Nobody in the production committee was interested at all. Guess spending so many hundreds of thousands to plaster his face all over town just failed to warrant much attention as compared to some newbie’s brilliant manager who spent nothing at all…"
[My guess: 陈孟奇. He self-financed his album, claimed to have written 1000 songs, wrote 马德里不思议 for Jolin. His album ads were seen around town and on buses]
***************************************
"This one-song-wonder-sweetie-pie has a really good PR manager. With just one single relatively average song, she found her way onto the stage this Sunday and yes…singing that ‘so-sweet-it-causes-tooth-decay-song’. Checked: good PR skills need not be expensive."
[My guess: 美心. She released a single, 瞬间, which was really too much of a sweetener. She's performing this sunday]
***************************************
"It is really very hard for Singaporeans to go wild over any singer from the Mainland. Despite several hit duets with this ‘heavenly-brother-who-writes-and-sing’ and a current hit duet up high on the charts, she is still not widely accepted here. The local media labeled her as ‘世界女’ but in reality, she is one ‘dumb dumb whose actions are often misunderstood lah’ (according to her manager)…"
[My guess: 金莎. Kinda obvious the heavenly bro is 林俊杰, and the current hit duet on charts is 期待爱.]
***************************************
"There’s also another singer with a very ‘kan-cheong’ family member. This member of hers scrutinized all news related to this singer and reacted ‘fast and furious’ if the singer’s name was missing in any good reports…I have to be extra ‘kan-cheong’ when it comes to publicizing the singer just in case this family member of hers is ‘up and jumping’ again…"
[My guess: 蔡健雅. The 'kan-cheng' family member, who is also her manager, is her mum.]
***************************************
"I just don’t understand what is happening with some stars’ managers. There’s this manager of an upcoming new singer who ‘played really tough’ when ‘negotiating’ the star’s schedule. In the end, she was dropped even though she may be sitting around doing nothing during this period when she would have gained so much more publicity doing this Sunday’s SPOP Gala at Indoor Stadium. "
[My guess: ??? I concede defeat at this upcoming new singer]
人生是黑白的.
