Ayu Striked back to Alan

HONG KONG-Yesterday Avex Asia Limited had issued a press release in response to Alan Tan's remark in a radio program the day before about Hamasaki Ayumi's out of tune performances. The press release stated that "Mr Alan Tan's remark had directly affected the goodwill of our company's artist Hamasaki Ayumi, and had also directly affected the interest of the company. Therefore we reserve all right to legally pursuit the matter."

Avex stated in the press release that Alan lack the political intellenge and did not realise that his current status has direct conflict of interest with RTHK Radio's International Pop Music Award. The record company had also mentioned that listeners of the program have changes of being mislead with Alan Tan's remark, thus affecting Ayu's chance of winning the award.
They had also invited Alan to Japan to watch Ayu's live performance.

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!

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

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....

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.

more on ayu

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

Wink one more thing..

I just wanna say Alan Tam is a legend. He was really popular in the 80's and still is respected. I don't listen to him though. Just wat I heard.

On the whole Ayu thing..I don't really care. I still support her.
