On the evening of January 1st, the award ceremony was held in the music industry, and Karen Mok won the Supreme Song Award for "Breathing Harmful", she performed a 14-minute long song skewer, and suddenly dreamed of returning to the golden age of Hong Kong music.
These 22 songs can be said to reflect the history of hong Kong music changes: the prelude is the brother Zhang Guorong's "Chase" and then access to Karen Mok's own "Suddenly", the song part of Zhang Guorong's "Left and Right Hands" to Karen Mok's supreme song "Breathing Harmful" this year, at the same time mixed with two generations of Hong Kong singers Jacky Cheung and Eason Chan's golden songs, the arrangement is very interesting.
The full playlist is: Left and Right Hands / Centennial Trees / Goddess / Turns out she doesn't love me enough / Just want to go with you for the rest of my life / Your name my last name / After leaving / Still think you are the best / Love you more every day / Spring is coming / Simple Love Song / Look around / The call of love / That day doesn't want you / The more you kiss, the sadder / The King of K Songs / The Sunset is Infinitely Good / Tourbillon / If I were Eason Chan / Xi Ti Street / We all grew up like this / Breathing is harmful.
These songs bear witness to the history of Cantonese pop songs, reminding us of countless years of cheering for the Hong Kong music awards ceremony.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > remember Zhang Guorong in 1999</h1>
In 1999, Zhang Guorong jumped to Universal Records and launched the album "Countdown with You", and the song "Left and Right Hands" was included in it, and as the first title song, the Mandarin version has "The World Only Wants You to Love Me". I also like these two songs very much, it should be his inner monologue, that year also swept the major awards ceremonies, in the music industry awards ceremony even won the "supreme song".
At the TVB Top Ten Golden Melody Awards ceremony that year, he also performed his own set of songs, and the prosperous scene of all the singers standing up and swinging and singing together is still vividly remembered.
1999 Billboard Music Awards "Left and Right Hands"
The whole world I just want you to love me
I talked about my mood so nakedly
Who can prove that anything can last forever
I also don't want you to admit love
- "The whole world only wants you to love me"
Prior to Zhang Guorong's birthday, Universal Music deliberately recreated his classic masterpieces in the Universal Era, "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter A Balloon's Journey" and MV, which were launched worldwide at 00:00 a.m. on September 12, 2020, evoking the memories of countless music fans.
So, together with Karen Mok's opening song, many people cried...
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > alternating years between two generations of singers</h1>
Zhang Guorong was the peak figure of the 80s, so in the 90s, jacky Cheung took over the baton.
"I just want to go with you all my life / Your name my last name / After leaving / Or think you are the best / Love you more every day" These songs are the most typical love songs of Jacky Cheung, and it is very special that as long as it is a love song work, Jacky Cheung always has a vivid appeal in interpretation.
Objectively speaking, Jacky Cheung's tone is not the most outstanding in the Chinese music scene, but he is good at singing with skill, to the point of being fascinated, the low voice is full of magnetic beauty, and it sounds particularly stable and comfortable. In addition, his singing skills are really a must, breath control, true and false tone switching, high and low tone conversion, etc. are very smooth and free. I once watched his tour, and he didn't need a teleprompter at all, and his singing effect was even better than that of a CD.
Worthy of the title of "God of Song" that has influenced generations.
After Jacky Cheung, the music scene came to Eason Chan. "King of K Songs/Sunset Infinite Good/Tourbillon/" are all award-winning works by Eason Chan at the Awards Ceremony.
"The King of K Songs" is his first real hit, "Sunset Is Infinitely Good" is the first title song of the album "U87", this is not a bitter love song, but from the death of the late Tianhou Mei Yanfang, to think about the meaning of life.
"Tourbillon" is included in Eason Chan's "Time Flies" in 2010, and this song, along with "Man Che Zhi", "When the Grapes Are Ripe" and "Salon", is known as the "Men Quadrilogy" written by Wong Wai Man to Eason Chan.
It can be said that the casual and funny Eason Chan is like a living treasure in the music world, and he still shines for us as the superstars leave the stage one after another. Without him, the Hong Kong music scene after the new millennium would also lose a lot.
The suite of two generations of singers has been burned on the string, evoking countless memories of classics.
The other songs in the playlist are all pop songs of the year, such as "Goddess", "The Call of Love", "That Day I Don't Want You", "The More You Kiss, the Sadder", "Happy Street", "We All Grew Up Like This".
"Xi Tie Street" is a song that I personally like very much, it is not a simple love song, but borrows the loneliness of Hong Kong Xi Tie Street to encourage everyone to actively face life in the adversity era, and perfectly combine life circumstances with collective memories, so "Xi Tie Street" also won 16 awards including the "Ling Ti Music World Supreme Song Award".
However, in recent years, the Hong Kong music scene has become less and less popular, and among the 14-minute song list, the latest and most popular song should be the commemorative song "We All Grew Up This Way" launched by Zheng Xiuwen in 2019, and the others can really remember very little.
The year of the song list, spanning from the 1990s to 2019, is a portrayal of the heyday of Hong Kong pop music to its slow decline.
The awards ceremony is over, and looking back at these 14 minutes of songs reminds us once again that the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene cannot be copied and will not be repeated!
