GCMA!

Managed to score close to front row seats to the Global Chinese Music Awards last Sat @ Indoor Stadium. Have been going to Indoor Stadium quite a few times over the last few months (last week was Lee-Hom!). It was a bit of Chinese music overkill for me but overall it was enjoyable. Not many times in life can see numerous celebrities so close. So anyway, this is kinda like a photo essay . . .



GCMA is a collaborative event between 7 top Chinese music stations in Asia to honour the best in the industry. So every country sent a representative MC (I think Singapore had 2). Everyone was literally having a go to try to rev up the crowd's noise level at the beginning of the event.



This was one of the random winners than came up to get his prize and say his few mins worth of thank-yous. I think he's from China, he's got a pretty cool shirt.



Rainie Yang, 22 year old cutie-pie who STILL hosts the 100% entertainment show in taiwan with jacky wu (and previously Ah ya).



I think this is Guo Mei Mei who startled my senses when she started her rendition of that irritating Russian techno song. Yeh, the bear was one of the dancers and a pretty good one at that, must be pretty difficult dancing in that outfit.



Malaysian singer, dunno what name.



Tank with Hebe of SHE. Not a very memorable song . . .



Ah Xing of MayDay. He's the main vocalistof the band, and prob the coolest too.



Our very own Tanya Chua - quite a blurry picture but nice pose la. She's clutching her award too!



SHE going on stage to claim one of their awards . . .



. . . and then going on to do one of their dance song items. Pretty well coordinated I must say.



Another song from S.H.E.



How can the event end without a ultra cool song item by heavenly king Andy Lau?



Wait, there's another one after he receives the most outstanding artist (male) award too!



Our favourite Stephanie Sun (who had close to 4 - 5 costume changes) was one of the last few to perform and did a rendition of 3 of her top hits.



All the artists were invited on stage for photo session and of course for the TV cameras as well. Kinda like class excursion picture, no?



Indeed, half the time, my view was blocked by irritating fans who held up their banners & neon signages!



Fans of China's superstar winner Li something-Chun. Looks like a lesbian, so didn't bother taking pictures of her.



Lightsticks on full action too!



Andy Lau's fans in full force!



And of course a beautifully made LED banner for TWINS (only Gillian came to the event.)
