06.09.2008 | 敬軒變奏

原來張敬軒個偶像係林憶蓮, 同我一樣喎, 呵呵.. 剛才入youtube無意中發現佢上個月《叱吒903拉闊變奏廳》音樂會嘅精華片段, 整個音樂會佢清一色唱咗二十首歌林小姐嘅經典金曲.. 林小姐嘅演繹同唱功, 眾所週知係公認嘅毋庸質疑, 平時都已經罕有人夠膽公開番唱(全民K歌《至少還有你》例外), 軒仔呢次果然係信心十足, 姑且勿論佢唱成點, 單係呢份勇氣就非常之值得敬佩, 而且仲少有地展開舞動嘅一面.. 網上有fans上載當晚其中幾首嘅演繹, 聽落我覺得軒仔其實都唱得幾好囉, 當然要撇開珠玉在前同埋唔可以與神檯前輩比較.. 我都相當之欣賞軒仔, 如果當晚音樂會有出CD嘅話, 我會買架.. 喂係噃, 唔知K會唔會有得點唱呢?? 哈哈..



i just found out Hins Cheung is a big fans of Sandy Lam, just like me, hehe.. was surfing youtube just now and accidentally found video clips from his performance for "HKCR 903 Live Show" last month, paying a tribute to Lam by singing 20 of her classic songs for the entire show.. many of us just knew Lam is undoubtedly a pop diva for the HK music industry, there are rarely other artistes who dares to cover her songs in public (except the overwhelmingly popular "At Least I've Got You").. put aside how well Hins performed that night, his act of covering songs by Lam was just a bravo, and he managed to show the audience the other side of his usual melancholic image.. there are fans who uploaded some of the songs performed that night, i've listened to them and thought, wow, Hins did really quite a good job (of course it's just unfair to compare how he can sing against diva Lam).. if the record company would publish a CD for the performance that night, i would get a copy of it for sure.. hmm, wait, do you think those songs are available in karaoke?? hehehe..

05.09.2008 | 九十年代

繼早前寫過一篇關於[八十年代]嘅香港樂壇之後, 今日嚟個九十年代嘅延續..

九十年代香港樂壇陽盛陰衰, 有個頗不健康嘅壟斷現象.. 四大天王[黎明/張學友/劉德華/郭富城]稱霸整個樂壇, 瓜分七成樂壇豬肉獎.. 淨返兩成分配畀當時順應而生, 有能力抗衡嘅四大天后[當年葉蒨文/林憶蓮/王菲三人塵埃落定, 最後一席位子周慧敏/關淑怡二人當中始終未能定誰屬].. 最後一成就係其他有實力嘅歌手[小天王李鄰居當然係其中一個]爭蹦頭嘅余額.. 樂隊方面, Beyond同草蜢各擁唔同階層fans而旗鼓相當.. 當時仲吹起一股過江龍風, 台灣歌手[當中佼佼者有林志穎/周華健/庾澄慶/吳奇隆]如旋風般席卷香港樂壇, 曾經都引起小風波架.. 九十年代, 正是我成長嘅年代, 講到當時個勢, 我當然係瞭如指掌啦, 哈哈!!

coming back with the 90s, a sequel to the previous post on the HK music industry in [The Eighties]..

the HK music industry in the 90s has quite an unhealthy monopoly situation whereby the male artistes were stronger than the females.. the so-called Heavenly Kings [Leon Lai, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok] have grabbed 70% of all awards distributed.. the next 20% went to the guys-have-it-so-girls-have-it-too Heavenly Queens [Sally Yeh, Sandy Lam, Faye Wong, and another one indecisive between Vivian Chow and Shirley Kwan].. the remaining 10% were regarded as lucky draw for other capable ones [or course our Neighbour Lee was one of them].. for group bands, they have Beyond and Grasshopper, of different genre and fans community, both having same level of popularity then.. i also remember back then there were some taiwanese artistes who got popular in HK [Jimmy Lin, Wakin Chow, Harlem Yu, Nicky Wu were the more successful ones], and they really got big recognition from the HK industry.. the 90s was my growing up decade, that is why i know so much about the industry back then, hahaha!!
