After a long wait, a tian hou finally released her album this week! Elva released her album, Three-Faced Elva on friday. The album has a good mix of Elva's na2 shou3 dance songs and some shu qing songs. However, I feel that it fairs averagely on the whole. Maybe I had quite high expectations of elva since she is a tian hou after all, so the album didnt manage to meet my expectations.
Following the release of Elva's album is Jam Hsiao's debut album, which is scheduled to be released tomorrow, but the album got leaked online today. I was surprised when I read the writeup of the album. So many famous songwriters actually kua4 dao1 to help Jam in his album. The list of people include: 李偲菘、李伟菘、陈伟、曹格、F.I.R./阿沁、五月天/阿信、苏打绿/青峰、小宇. However, after one round of album sampling, I was rather disappointed with the songs in the album. Maybe the songs are man4 re4 type, which require me to listen a few times before liking them. Hopefully ill change my opinion of the album after listening to it again.
jam's first hit, shou cang (written by li wei song), is nice though. it entered the charts today at position 17. meanwhile, yoga and jade's chuan shuo faced an unexpected drop from position 14 last week to 16 this week. so now jam is just closely behind yoga. the battle of the xin guang stars continues even after the competition has ended (:
to some extent, charts are getting more and more unpredicatable. li hom's one world one dream, after falling to position 4, rebounds all the way to #1 this week, allowing the song to finally clinch the champion title after 7 long weeks of rise and falls. xiao tai yang continues to hover in top 10, staying at position 8 for the 2nd week running. this song has a really impressive performance, spending 9 out of the 10 weeks that it is on the charts in top 10. however, i find xiao tai yang the type of song that gets nicer the more you listen to it, so maybe thats the reason for its good performance. lastly, sui ran wo yuan yi, which is a nicer hit than wu jia ke hui, actually fell this week from position 5 to 6. if it continues to fall, it will be a worse performing hit than wu jia ke hui, which is surprising since it is the pian wei qu of the ch8 show, bian zou qu.
after listening to longhubang today, i went to suntec for the PC show. omg they actually sold the lizard skin vaio for $1,199 which is like half of what i paid for my vaio 3 yrs ago. haha. and the 16GB creative zen costs less than what i paid for my 5GB zen micro 3 yrs ago. so i shall be patient and wait another year before upgrading my laptop and mp3 player - just before i fly off for my overseas studies (:
