Faith Yang is a popular Taiwanese singer. She made her singing debut in 1996, released four albums to date, and was the winner of the Golden Melody Awards in 2000 for best female vocalist and best album.

Sharing here a few songs (titles are loose translations) that I like from Faith. Her songs are not really appealing when I first listened to it, but it has a certain something with her performance that hooked me up eventually.

The 19th Golden Melody Awards, arguably the most prestigious recognition in Mandarin music industry, were presented in Taipei on July 5.

Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou was the biggest winner, bagging five awards, including song of the year and best composer awards.

Malaysian Gary Chau and Singaporean Tanya Chua claimed the best male/female Mandarin singers title respectively (pic); Tanya also bagged the best producer award.

Taiwanese band Sodagreen won the best group/band award; while Hong Kong star Karen Mok produced the biggest surprise of the night by winning album of the year award.

The awards presentation was shown live at my TV channel… but it was so so boring. The red carpet sucked, the hostesses sucked and the performers talked too much.

The funniest thing is seeing the celebrities pretending to be interested with what was happening on stage when most of them were probably bored to the max.
