Tuesday April 8, 2008 Hong Kong Miriam Yeung (楊千嬅) has decided not to extend her golden-handcuffs deal with TVB, reported Sing Tao Daily. The contract ended this month. The newspaper reported that Miriam is upset that she was passed over for the top two prizes at the Jade Solid Gold. The awards for Best Female Singer and Asia's Best Female Singer instead went to Joey Yung (容祖兒) and Twins respectively. Her music company, AMusic, was so up in arms about the result that it snubbed the aftershow party. It was rumoured that Miriam was particularly angry because she had worked so hard for TVB, performing, presenting and acting in cameo roles. Many thought that she had one of the top JSG prizes in the bag. Sing Tao Daily rumoured that TVB had tried to convince Miriam to stay by offering to do a dedicated special programme to promote her next album. Miriam has already started appearing on rival television stations like Cable TV Hong Kong. credits: batgwa.
i think that's a dumb reason to leave, she should of stayed and just proved to them that she is indeed a better singer. I personally think that she is a better singer than joey, but joey is just better at performance.
hmm, this is not unlike kanye west, you know , in the previous years, he was whining and everything that he was better than everyone else...maybe she's sending out the message that she's mad and she's not going to stand for it....i say , do it!!!
wtf.. so she wants something that is not earn but "bought" with her power? that is why I think music awards are meaningless if it is not voted by peers or fans.
I guess the news is not 100% true. We have to und Miriam works for a company and she needs to earns her leaving. Probably this wasn't her main reason of leaving...And i prefer her to Joey...
wtf lol she should be glad she still can survive in hk entertainment circle. she got nothing but a stroke of amazing luck, she is 奇跡派
wat a sore loser, if she werent good enough to win then so be it, if she had won it would def. tel the world the awards were fixed. Frankly shes not that good of a singer and her acting is even worse so to me, its no loss to tvb but a loss to her cos lots of pple watch TVB esp. internationally.
That's just plain dumb, expecting rewards in return for hard work. I mean, the reason people have rewards are to acknowledge people who performed well in an outstanding manner, not for working like a donkey!
You'd be mad too if you lost awards to someone who had nude pictures leaked all over the world through the internet and still managed to survive with barely a career.
