:confused

I don't get it.. who is this Alan guy??
I'd like to.. beat the poo outta him..!

I am not very happy about this.Kawai, do you have any translations for what this Mr.Alan specifically said?

Well, apparently Alan must have missed Ayu's Stadium Tour. Her vocal performance was fabulous there! I'm sad to read that someone is openly dissing her live performances but glad Avex is taking action for it. Go Avex! :thumbsup

Is this guy from Apple Daily?!?

Arr.... i hope Alan's p.ov. of Ayu will~ sure don't want her to lose the RTHK Radio's International Pop Music Award because of that!

Who is this Alan Guy? What did he say About ayu? is it Bad? If it is, Ill kill him!

Ayu won't lose the award Miruku!No worries!She has enough money to buy the company he is working for and fire him anyway!!!

lol she should, but I think Ayu has better manners than he does.:trout Besides, she probably sings way better live than he ever could in his lifetime. I like it when Ayu sings live :thumbsup

Alan Tam was a very popular singer in hongkong in the 80's and he was at the event at the chinese-japanese concert when the quarrel happened between coco lee & ayu...

Alan Tam was saying that Ayu doesn't know how to sing, that she is always off key~

i really dun like him 'cus he's just bringin up old news again and again to bash ayu....

he's probably just trying to regain fame or popularity by bashing hers. :mad

1. MING PAO DAILY, MARCH 26 2003, FILM AND TELEVISION OBSERVATIONS
APPRECIATING ALAN'S HONEST CRITICISM

Alan Tam Wing Lun on a radio program criticized Japanese singer
Ayumi Hamasaki (Bun Kei Bo), saying that she is off key on three out of
four verses. He was very direct.
The write appreciates Tam Wing Lun's public comments in recent
years. When a person has nothing more to ask for he has reached a
pinnacle. He no longer needs to sell other people, what he likes
something he says so, when he does not he directly criticizes it.
Each person has his or her freedom of speech. Everyone can
disagree with what Tam Wing Lun says, but they should agree with his
honesty.
The criticism of Bun Kei Bo is not an empty shot. When Alan said
she is off keys on three out of four verses, fans can refute if it is not
a fact.

Most Popular Is Necessarily The Best
Bun Kei Bo is the Year's Most Popular Japanese Female Singer. So
what? When she is off key she is off key.
Most Popular singer is not the best singer. Off key singers can
remain popular. Fans may not necessarily worship them because of the
singer's singing.
Idol singers are trendy products that have been expertly packaged.
What they are selling is not singing ability.
Bun Kei Bo can throw a tantrum in public and be very gentle at
other times. Obviously she cannot control her own emotions.

Must Face Criticism For Ignoring Singing Abilities
The writer understands these young idols who reached such a
position at their young age, like Bun Kei Bo. Her record sales affect
the record label's stock price. Psychologically she would have difficulty
to find a balance.
Record companies that cook up idols have to be responsible as
well. Pushing only singer image and ignoring singing abilities will
definitely lead to criticism.
Singers can have many types. They can be idol singers and they
can be substance singers. The ones who sing well do not necessarily sing
well live. Some can only perform well in a studio.
The writer feels, the ones who can be called singers should
respect the industry as well as themselves.
Respecting the industry means singing well or not has not as
important as at least not frequently singing off key.
Respecting themselves means proper control of emotions. Not being
moody is a matter of politeness.
As a young idol, losing emotional control in public is rude.

Rare Honest Comments
Artists do not have special rights. Those who do not respect
themselves should accept criticism.
Industry insiders rarely criticize directly in public other
insiders because of identity awkwardness.
Honest comments like Alan's is extremely rare in the business.
Those so-called daring comments may have hidden agenda. Alan
today no longer needs to promote himself. Conceivably what he says is
from his heart. - KWOK HIN CHING
