Dreamz FM vs Sun Yanzi
-
Has anyone been keeping a watch on the "fight" between the two to represent Spore in the MTVasia awards next Feb?
Well,,. there's three other contenders (Stella, Kit and Tanya) but they've fallen way behind. On paper, golden girl Yanzi should come out the runaway winner, but fans of Dreamz are putting up a good "fight". As of now, Dreamz is only about 6 percentage points behind Yanzi.

I have no particular preference, but it's always great to see the underdog win
-
Actually Dreamz FM wun win. If they win...it would be a public outrage...thankfully STELLA is out...
-
I am a Dreamz FM fan, and I hate to admit it, but I agree with Zilchster that DFM will not win it. Sun Yan Zi is far too popular to have let this award out of its grasp.
Too bad there isn't any runner-up award, at least it can give DFM some recognition, no matter how little it may be... -
I think those guys dun really bother abt this popularity award...
I think wat matters is getting recognition (awards for their music)...it's not alwiz abt being popular. -
actually no matter who wins oso nvm. Coz I feel that both are equally gd. Dreamz FM have great voices, while Stefanie is popular and she has a unique voice, no doubt she still has room 4 improvement. So long as Stella doesn't win, It's fine with me.
-
I think Spore fans of Yanzi have summoned the help of her Taiwan fans and this has helped to widen the margin between them now. But I'm still rather surprised that Dreamz came so close at one stage. It's a pity that only one rep is chosen from each country.
-
Unfortunately, there could only be one winner...as Sun has a wider fan base...well...yah...should be business as usual for her...
Besides I dun tink Dreamz would covet this title that much...as having an award for their music.
Well...tanya and kit...wat 2 say...at least kit has not hit rock bottom...stella...ewwwww...and ewww...so long as she does not win. -
Meanwhile...the fight goes on in other countries...
For HK...Sammi Cheng is leading...
For Taiwan...Ah Mei is leading followed by Mayday, Jay Chou, Elva Hsiao and lastly, Wu Bai. -
I'm a fan of Dreamz FM. I definitely hope that Dreamz FM would win.But now, everyone knew that Stephanie Sun is the most popular singer in S'pore as well as other countries.I think that the chance of Dreamz FM winning is very little.But hope that there would be some miracle!!!

Well.. there're awards that recognize artistes for their popularity and those that recognize their music. I agree with Zilchster that Dreamz dun care much for any popularity award, but they need to have a fair bit of mass appeal first before any awards come their way.... unless they're sooo super-talented that their music speaks for them.
I read this interesting quote in Life! today - "Certain bands get far too much attention and get treated as god-like figures. It's just music, pple shld lighten up." (Stereophonics' Kelly Jones on Radiohead). In the fan-driven world of Chinese pop, young and precocious music fans notice the artistes' looks or personalities first before their music... hence the Chinese music industry today is more about style than substance. While veterans like Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng and rookies like F4 and Yanzi are not quite regarded god-like by their fans, they come pretty close to being treated like demi-gods and demi-goddesses With rare exceptions, the popularity awards go to the good-lookers with average vocals while the best artiste awards go to the average-lookers with good vocals. The exception in this case is probably Faye Wong, who has garnered a long string of both types of awards, despite her icy-cold personality, average looks and forthright disdain to "shake hands with strangers" 
Kool... -
I guess that is why there is a popularity award and a u can sing kinda award...
Not to shrug off sammi cheng...i mean she is good up to a certain sense...but i guess her fashion and her fei wen overshadows her music...
Ah Mei's relationship with Brian definitely causes more concern than her newest album.
Those who sing well...yah...r not blessed wif looks...eg Zhou Hui...Julia Peng... -
looks like Warner Music is going to be the winner again, (as usual), with ppl like yanzi, Sammi and A-mei leading in Singapore, HK and taiwan respectively.
-
Oh yeah, Warner Music certainly has a strong foothold in the Chinese pop market. Was at HMV Heeren today and noticed the demo listening cds of the 3 queens were stacked together - A*mei on top and Sammi at bottom with Yanzi in between.
I think our Yanzi is more musically talented than her 2 a-jie but she's not so solid performing live. Her record sales this year have surpassed Sammi's, rite? -
No doubt Yanzi's sales have surpassed sammi and probably ah mei...
Dun forget abt na ying...she is also in the china category...if she wins too...and the other 3 win...wow...4 queens... -
What I think is, dreamzFM will definetely not win this "fight".
Even though if dreamzFM has more vote then Sun, they will like try da make Sun's vote even more and let Sun win on that day.
If Sun loses to the "small peanut"(and i use small peanut cos they are not that popular), it'll be such a disgrace for Sun. -
Well...then dreamz fm are 3 very small peanuts!!! Hehehe...juz a joke...
My favourite is Kit...but the Taiwanese are trying to lay claim to our Yanzi...and at least as Singaporeans we should support our national treasure b4 she disappears...after all she did make a big splash (with a gunshot included)...i mean not say we muz support the others...if sun does not win anything in sg...a bit shuo bu guo qu rite? -
anybody knows when's the last day opened 4 voting? tks.
-
It's a bit strange that Kit was not called a "national treasure" during her heyday when she was very successful in Taiwan and HK. But now the media is heaping all sorts of "titles" on Yanzi including "guo bao". Dun think Yanzi's likely to disappear that quickly... the Taiwanese are so enamoured with her, well that includes sporeans too. Being based in Taiwan kinda stregthen their claim on her I guess.Originally posted by Zilchster:My favourite is Kit...but the Taiwanese are trying to lay claim to our Yanzi...and at least as Singaporeans we should support our national treasure b4 she disappears... -

Yah...as she is based in taiwan...the taiwanese would wanna grab her...but hey she is a true blue singaporean girl! We can't let the taiwanese people lay claim to her.
-
i've just casted my vote the other day.. juz wondering... are we allowed to vote more than once?
at my time of voting, dfm vs syz was i tink 26.8% to 52%..... i guess all of us (incl dfm) know that the award will go to sun yan zi (and she deserves it) but i guess what is most impt now is.... what would the margin be like? -
I wun have any idea...but i tink the margin would be around 10% or more...but it's something we would never find out.
I know that Sammi has a wide lead over kelly and andy lau in HK...whilst in Taiwan...mayday is leading by abt 1 to 2%... -
I think only one vote is allowed from each PC... same like other such questionnaire-related sites where voting from individual PCs can be tracked.
The Yanzi-Dreamz race would have been a lot closer if they allow only fans from Spore to vote only. I won't be surprised if many of Yanzi's fans from Taiwan voted for her too. Her "win" is a foregone conclusion right from the start.
Not that I have anything against Yanzi. She's probably a nice person, but after watching her recent hour-long interview on mtvchinese.com, I think success has gone to her head a bit. Or maybe she's just plain tired...

What was the interview about? I am kinda curious to know...
Well...since the voting is on the website...so i guess it's open to all to vote...they also can't check if u r from sg or from elsewhere...besides we r allowed to vote in taiwan etc...
But do u tink dreamz fm are more deserving of this award? Not really lar...and would it be a big embarrassment to Sun if she did not win this one...i dun have anything against dreamz...but popularity stakes? Still far...if u r talking abt...compositions...and shi li...dreamz fm...definitely is slightly better off...at least sun is improving???
A sad thing is...HOW COME DREAMZ FM song cannot move into top 10 of yes933...very sad...even if it stays there 2 weeks also good mah...feel upset.
