Singapore Hit Awards to honour biggest names in Chinese music scene
SINGPORE: The biggest regional and global music talents in the
Chinese music scene will be converging here on Saturday for the
Singapore Hit Awards.
Into its 14th year, this event awards the most outstanding talents
from Singapore and overseas, notably from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia
and China.
Some of the local artistes making an appearance include first
season Superband winner Mi Lu Bing, singer Joi Chua and newcomer
Derrick Hoh, while overseas stars include Malaysian songstress Fish
Leong, Taiwanese rock band Mayday and Hong Kong singer-actor Eason
Chan.
The Singapore Hit Awards also plays a role in "acknowledging local
artistes", says Ms. Foong Wai See, Programme Director of Singapore's
Y.E.S. 93.3FM.
Y.E.S. 93.3FM is the organiser of the award ceremony, and will
broadcast the event live from its station, while co-organiser Channel U
will broadcast it on television.
Local songbird Tanya Chua has bagged eight nominations, the highest
amongst all the artistes. A couple of her nominations include Best
Album Producer for her sixth album ‘Goodbye and Hello’, Most Popular
Female Artiste and Best Performing Female Artiste.
In addition, whether the newcomers are gaining popularity through
mainstream or alternative avenues, Ms. Foong shares that it is
important to "recognise and encourage their presence in the music
scene".
Some of the newcomers vying for ‘Most Popular Newcomer’ are Yoga
Lin and Jam Hsiao - spotted during the first season of popular
Taiwanese reality TV singing competition One Million Star, Chinese
singer Jade Liu - who found fame in China's singing contest Super
Girls, and Singapore twins By2.
Boybands 5566, Energy and F4, along with rock band Mayday and
female trio S.H.E. are just a few of the nominees battling it out for
‘Favourite Group’.
‘Most Popular Male Singer’ nominees include Wang Lee-Hom, Wu Jia
Hui, JJ Lin, Jay Chou and Show Luo while the ‘Most Popular Female
Singer’ category will see songstresses Jolin Tsai, Fish Leong, Elva
Hsiao, A-mei, Angela Chang and Rainie Yang going head to head with each
other.
There is another cause for celebration.
As part of Singapore’s popular Chinese music chart ‘Pick of the Pops’
25th anniversary this year, a special tribute will be paid to iconic
artistes who have "shown remarkable achievements on the chart for the
past 25 years".
Online voters have a 40 per cent chance in influencing the outcome
for ‘Most Popular’ award categories while the rest of the 60 per cent
will be determined by the song or artiste's chart positioning.
The winners for the rest of the categories are determined by professional judging.
The Singapore Hit Awards will be held on October 25, 7.30pm at the
Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets for this star-studded night of
entertainment are on sale via SISTIC at S$38, S$58 and S$98.

I just want to air my disappointment that this year being the 25th year for the Pick of the Pops, some of the iconic members that rock the charts should be present.
Not just putting up some montage of clips.
Any of the heavenly kings, the boy bands of taiwan, Jay/LeeHom/DaveTao, Jolin or Ah-Mei should be invited.
If we did, and yet they come out with some explicit reasons for turning us down, then we should focus this year on our own talents. Stefanie, JJ, WeiLian, JingLun/Sugi from MillionStars3, etc.

That's true, everybody loves getting an award.
But some awards are given out in strong favour to that artist, that it seems very wayang.
