Raymond Lam admits he is qualified for award; TVB Executives said results are deserved TVB and HKRIA's copyright disputes still have not been settled yet, last night the singers under the Big 4 record companies all ate the "white fruit" together at the <JSG Best Ten Music Awards 2009>. EEG was the big winner of the night getting 19 awards total, while TVB "biological son" Raymond Lam leaped becoming the new "Asia-Pacific Most Popular HK Male Singer", which was the most controversial scene. When he accepted the award, boos were heard among the audience. It was said that other record companies who won less awards were dissatisfied with result. But, Raymond said that at the time he was so shocked that he couldn't hear the boos. Having the self-confidence, large number of fans, he is qualified for the award. TVB Executive expressed in support that all the winners deserved their awards. Even before the award ceremony, TVB announced that even if the Big 4 singers do not attend the ceremony, if they receive an award it will still be presented to them, however that was not true in reality. TVB senior manager of arts and music (Chan Ka Yeung) insisted that the Big 4 singers did not have any awards and that the results had nothing to do with their absence! (Does Eason Chan not deserve an award?) He said: "The votes were like that, so no award! (How are the votes counted?) The results are based on the viewers, general assembly's review and the music department." Towards the rumors that the other record companies with less awards were in dissatisfaction of the results and that the "Asia-Pacific Male Singer" award should have gone to Hacken Lee? Mr. Chan denied: "Dissatisfaction? Which record company? And how did this rumor start!" Raymond admitting that winning the "Asia-Pacific" award was a surprise and that singers under Big 4 absent from the ceremony probably had an impact on the results; However, he personally has been working really hard every year. (Does Raymond feel that he got the award too early?) He said that he has set a good foundation in the last 11 years, he has lots of fans both in and outside of HK, it just that he was focused more on TV series and just recently started singing. (Is he afraid to be criticize that TVB is biased towards him?) He said he never thought about it, winning an award proves that he doesn't just know how to act. (Did he hear the boos when he accepted the award?) He expressed that he didn't hear them, at that moment he felt numb on stage and had no response, he only heard that there were sounds everywhere, but definitely not boos. OTHER SINGERS COMMENTING ON RAYMOND'S AWARD: (Eason Chan, Leo Ku, Vincy Chan, Linda Chung, Kay Tse, Myolie Wu) Spoiler Eason Chan: "I am not experienced, I don't know the popularity rate of singers around the world, but Raymond in my heart is a popular singer. Frankly speaking, compared to the past, there are very few singers who are qualified to win the "Asia-Pacific Singer Award". If not ready to win the "Asia-Pacific" award, then should first get qualified for the Hong Kong district one!" Leo Ku: "Raymond has been filming series for 10 years, he already got a foundation in the TV industry, especially in the Asian Pacific areas. Although Raymond's singing experience is light, but I hope everyone can give him a little more support, believe that he will have a great improvement." Vincy Chan: "He deserves the award. He is already really popular outside of HK. One time Raymond and I went on a trip, I was in the same car as him and was pushed by his fans, it was so packed that we almost couldn't get pass the escalator. He deserves this type of award, he was tearing up when he accepted the award, I have never seen him so incoherent, I believe he was very emotional at the time." Linda Chung: "I am happy for him, the "Asia-Pacific" award is a big award, he is very popular in Mainland, I saw him really emotional when he won the award, I know that he never thought of getting that award, there were many singers below the stage supporting him." (Netizens had a big response?) I will continue to support Raymond, although he had only been in the music industry for 3 years, but every time he goes on stage, he is very stabled, I hope everyone can support him." Kay Tse: "I support him, his series in Mainland does really well, there are many people that like him. (Did Raymond get the award too early?) He is my senior, not considered early!" Myolie Wu: "I am happy for Raymond, he is very popular in Mainland, so he deserves this award. I wish for the Female Singer Award too." Source: Mingpao Translated by: aZnangel
Sorry, I don't think he deserve it and i like him a lot. He might be well known in Mainland for series, but that doesn't mean he is the most popular male asian pacific singer. Also, don't like his attitude that he thinks he deserve it, that makes me dislike him. He knows TVB just gave it to him because there aren't any other male singers. but i do believe he is more popular than Leo Ku. Well don't like TVB and i didn't watch the award show for the for 1st time.
I am glad he's so full of himself .. lol .. reminded me of Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize .. lol .. a joke down in history for sure.
