I'm so happy to see them together hehe.

{tvb} 星梦传奇 Voice of Stars Ep 5

Before episode 5 aired in Hong Kong, Oscar wrote Fred a supportive message on weibo. hehe I really love their friendship, so I was so happy when I saw this. Oscar also appeared in this week's episode of VOS, but I don't know for what reason...

The two new contestants this week are Bob Lam and Yao Bin (idk who they are). This week they only eliminated one person, and it was Aaryn Cheung. Ronald Law had the second lowest points, so I thought he was going to be out of the show for sure, but it didn't happen. (Anyways wow I didn't know he had a gf? hahaha) Everybody today was only in the 160 point range, but Fred got above 180! The audience was clapping and cheering for him very loudly, so looks like his popularity has skyrocketed. I'm so happy for him~ Anyways, I think next week is when some of the past contestants come back for another chance (I see Stanley Cheung in the previews) and Fred has a duet with Alfred Hui!! (one of my favorite HK singers LOL)

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 3

Yay, another week has passed so that means another episode of VOS! This time, Hacken Lee is one of the guest judges~

Oscar gets to sing first (again), and he put on a pretty entertaining performance. His singing was only so-so, and I think it's cause he picked a faster song and danced at the same time. If he chose an easier song to sing, then he would probably get more points and sing a lot better. Poor Oscar had to go film Tiger Cubs 2 as well, so he probably shouldn't have danced so much since his waist was hurting. (Seeing Oscar and Him's interaction was cute though! And LOL I have a matching Boy London sweater...) I guess it was just a matter of time before he gets off the show, and this episode was it. :( I really hoped to see him interact more with Fred, but Oscar was busy filming TC2.

Wow, I never knew that Lily Ho could sing! She has a nice voice, and it's sorta obvious she's one of the better singers that auditioned (*ahem* Mandy, Benjamin, Stanley, Oscar...) I liked Ronald's performance too! If only he styled his hair better, haha. It's cute how when he was singing the song again with the judge, Amigo was mouthing the lyrics too. I always end up fangirling about Fred and praising him in these posts, so there's really no point in me writing the same things over and over again haha. But as usual, he gets the most points!

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 2

Watch the second episode here.

The returning contestants

I know the judges didn't really like Oscar's performance, but I did. He was kind of nervous during his performance, because at functions where he performed live, his singing was better. Ronald was good, but I don't think his notes are powerful enough? Idk haha.

Fred's performance was great as usual. Here's the link to his cut. His part was so touching, and being a Fred fan I'm really happy that he got invited to be a guest at Eric Moo's concert. I'm always saying this, but TVB really should Fred more chances. He's a great singer and he's fluent in English, something that a lot of TVB's promoted artistes last. Hopefully they'll realize what a great asset Fred is to the company. My favorite part of the episode was after Fred was given his score and all the other contestants were congratulating him. Oscar says "I'm proud, of you man" and it was the sweetest thing. They're one of my favorite pairs of best friends at TVB, so it's nice to see their bromance.

It's interesting how Benjamin chose to sing a Mandarin song..he sang an English song last time. I wonder why he doesn't sing in Cantonese lol. I enjoyed his performance, but I guess his singing is just too average for the judges. I thought Stanley's performance was quite okay in the beginning, but it gradually got worse. The Aaryn kid is pretty talented, since he played they keyboard during his performance. (I wonder if Fred will play the guitar in a future performance...) Becky was amazing, but then again she was a vocal coach for ten years haha. The little screaming part at the end scared me though haha

It's not fun looking at the results, though, since there were already news articles about which contestants lost already. Benjamin and Stanley lost, and Fred and Becky ended up getting the two highest scores this episode.

{other} Fred Cheng on VOS

Do you guys recall my previous post about Voice of Stars? Well, I said that I thought VOS would be Fred's best chance at getting recognition. Well, today's news proved that I was right!

Fred Cheng finally rises to popularity after his excellent singing performance on Voice of Stars. The story of Fred's ten years of hard work in the entertainment industry has caught a lot of attention from Netizens. - Mingpao

Anyways, I'm so glad that more people are noticing Fred! TVB should start noticing him more now. I really really hope he wins VOS, or at least places very high since he's been waiting for a chance for so long. The preview for episode 2 was so touching. I can't wait to watch it!!

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 1

Finally after weeks of waiting, the first episode of 星夢傳奇 aired. I sort of skipped over the parts with people that I didn't really care for, and my Canto isn't that good so I didn't really understand the judges' criticisms. Anyways, the sole reason that I'm watching 星夢傳奇 is because of Fred and Oscar.

I really think that 星夢傳奇 is Fred's best chance at being noticed by TVB and the Hong Kong audience. Even though he joined TVB years ago, his roles are now reduced to pretty much kelefe parts. His indie band, HOME, doesn't get a lot of recognition either. However, judging by how well he did in the first episode and the preview for episode two, Fred just might become the favorite (and hopefully win). I really love his singing, so I hope Fred gets far in the competition.

I also like Oscar's singing, but imo it's not as good as Fred's. A few years back, I would have also complained about how Oscar got stuck with the delinquent, young guy roles, but after Tiger Cubs and L'Escargot, the audience seems to know him a lot better, and TVB has given him better roles. Oscar doesn't really need to compete in this since he's pretty popular now, but I do enjoy watching him support Fred. They've been friends for years, so hopefully they both do well in the competition together. It would be nice if they could have a special stage and sing a duet together, but that's probably not going to happen, haha.

{pic} Fred in The Day of Days

I am so glad that I started watching The Day of Days. It's not that interesting, but Raymond Wong is just too cute for me to stop watching him in this series. haha Anywho, Fred is in it! Of course, he just appeared and I'm pretty sure it's more of a cameo/extra-ish part, but he looks so handsome. T_T I just wanted to share a pic. haha

{artwork} TVB Artists & Leehom Wallpapers

Actually they're not really wallpapers, but idk what to call them. haha

I miss my FungYi. :/

I think I like the second to last Jim & Katy one and the first Leehom one the best. hehe

{new} Layout/Header

Yep, another black header and layout. haha This time featuring Fred~

That's pretty much all I have to say?

{music/TVB} HOME at Music Battle

Super good quality from TVB's Youtube channel! :) I'm so glad they uploaded this, cause on tvb.com you have to be in Hong Kong to watch it. -.- Anyways, they performed a lot of songs that I never heard yet, so I'm super glad I checked HOME's FB page. lol I really love Fred~

{tvb} News/Rant - Kenneth Ma & Tavia Yeung Leads Newcomers in New Series

Kenneth Ma & Tavia Yeung Leads Newcomers in New Series '36 Hour On Call'

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/

This year TVB is determined to train newcomers into shooting series. Besides the sequel to Triumph in the Skies using newcomers, Producer Poon Ka Tak is planning to cast newcomers for heavier roles in his new doctor series 36 Hours On Call. The series is temporarily set for Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung for the leading roles.

It was said that TVB hopes to speed up the training on the new generation FaDan and Siu Sangs in the next half year to handle the demands of the future series. Not only does TVB plan to select newcomers from the acting class, but also recruit new talents from other areas to join in on the plan to promote newcomers. The group of newcomers will not only have the opportunity to shoot series, but also be arranged to enter the movie industry and shoot movies. TVB hopes to boost them into fame in the shortest amount of time. Like The Voice singer Mag Lam, TVB gave her several opportunities to develop in different areas. She is currently the one artist that will surely be well-known and considered as one example of TVB's success in promoting newcomers.

WARNING: This is just a random rant, so you guys don't have to read it, and instead just enjoy the news.

WTH? They just had 3K, and now TVB wants them in the same series again??? Please change the cast... not only do I not like the Kenneth-Tavia pairing, but who cares about newcomers? Why can't TVB just be content with the people they have now? We all know that none of the new MHK, Mr. HKs or especially Mag Lam will be any good at acting, so why try forcing them down viewers' throats?

EDIT: Hm okay, wow thank you Kenneth for confirming that you and Tavia will really film this. AGH. I'm just hoping that since TVB is so...TVB, they'll at least put Fred in this. I mean, if they make Fred a high school student after so many years, they can make him a medical intern. But then again, it takes around ten years to become a doctor, so he's around the correct age anyways. And preferably they have Oscar too. Plus Jason and Him. You know what, how about TVB have no female newcomers, cause I don't really like any of them, except Katy, if you still count her as a newcomer.
