这个星期我是忙到~~~

很多人很好奇,一位全职歌手,每天是做什么的huh?每次人家问到我,我都不知道该怎么回答。
那天突然有个灵感。让我来给大家解释一下。

Ok。一位歌手就像一个product。

一个产品需要 product development. Like a beauty product, say, moisturizer. You have to do constant research & development to develop a good moisturizing product right? In our case, we have to train ourselves in singing. We try out many kinds of songs, try to find the style that we are good at... Well, best at. Exercising and keeping fit are important things to do too. Although... I'm LAZY! For me, I would love to have my thoughts in my songs as well. So I have been pretty hardworking at trying to come out with lyrics.

We also do "Market Research". haha! We check out new CDs constantly, update on what is new and "trendy". Oh my current playlist includes 梁文音 (ok, not that new but I like) and 张惠妹.

"Product marketing" means keeping ourselves in public eye, or you can call it exposure. It could be interview with the papers, or, it could even be as simple as blogging. ;)

Oh, there are soooo much to do!

What you see is a small part of what we do. Ok, I gotta go... and get busy.

Aiyoh, Missy Goh is RIGHT!!!!! I haven't congratulate MISSY TAN DI YA for getting into Top 3!!!!!

What a terrible friend.

CONGRATS TAN DI YA!!!!! You won AGAIN!!!! ggrrr... ok la, I forgive you again. Because I know what you can do, more than you do. The week before when you were down and depressed, thinking that you can't sing. I never for a second stopped to think that you can't sing. Ok, let's just say that your singing is not the amei/ alin big voice, big lung sort. But 辨识度 super high. And there's a very nice touching tone to your voice. But I think your best quality is your stage presence. That is something that can't be trained!!!! And you have it la... that is sooooo 强!!! You are soooo bright on stage my friend. 那天,看着你在台上唱着找自己,我好感动。因为我看得出来你找到了。You are indeed the light of the world.

Anyway, thanks for being such a great friend. Thanks for throwing back all the 安慰的话 back at me the following week.

释放你的光彩吧!

我真的越来越喜欢孙燕姿。

孙燕姿复出当“孙老板” 称厌倦自己这个产品

发表时间:2009-06-30 09:05 来源:新闻晨报

时隔两年,短暂归隐的孙燕姿再次回到公众眼前,并且带来了“‘答案是……’演唱会”。孙燕姿说,之前,她对“孙燕姿”这个产品感到了厌倦,所以决定暂时退出,并且决定自己当老板。

归隐两年享受自由生活

给 自己放大假,孙燕姿已不是第一次。2003年,当她还红得发紫的时候就曾退隐一年,2007年,她再次决定休息,这一歇就是两年,当这次再复出的时候,她 选择了在从未有华人女歌手开过个唱的八万人体育场,举行她的第三次世界巡回演唱会。“之前开演唱会,虽然只有两万人,但是台下的气氛给我的感觉就好像是有 五六万人一样,所以我一直想尝试一下,真正有这么多人是什么感觉。而且,我两年时间没有出来,很多人都在猜测我做什么去了,变成什么样了,他们在心里对我 有很多的问号,而这台演唱会就是我给所有人的一个答案。”

那么,这两年的时间,孙燕姿到底做什么去了?

“我有点厌倦以前的‘ 孙燕姿’这个产品”,她用“产品”这个词形容曾经的自己。她告诉记者,这两年自己终于感受到“自由”的幸福,她攀岩、骑马、游泳、研究心理学,更重要的 是,可以每天和家人一起吃晚饭,有更多的时间做一个好女儿、好姐姐、好朋友,“还有,怎么当好一个女朋友”。记者问她,对自己的个人问题有什么具体打算? 孙燕姿一笑:“现在还不是公布这些的时候。”

再复出要叫她“孙老板”

再次复出的称改变了一贯的形象,长长的头发盘在脑后,显出几分成熟女人的韵味。“大家都说我现在有女人味了,呵呵”,她笑着说,“长发对我来说是自由的象征,因为以前一直没有机会留,可能公司希望我延续一种形象和感觉,不想让歌迷对我陌生。”

没 有以发新专辑的形式回归乐坛,是孙燕姿自己的选择,她也有这个权利选择,因为她现在就是自己的老板。“我这个老板怎么样?”她转头问边上的工作人员,“你 这个老板挺好的”,对方笑着回答。“但是是老板就更不可以乱来。我很希望接着世界巡演的机会宣传造势,然后推出我的新唱片,但是现在我说不准,我不知道什 么时候能交出这份答卷,可能我还没找到这张新专辑需要的感觉。”

没有新唱片,那还是把眼光投向8月8日八万人体育场即将举行的“‘答案 是……’演唱会”,孙燕姿说,这是一场前卫、带有实验性的演唱会,“比较符合我理想的方式”。演出曲目是根据答案的顺序进行编排,当然也少不了经典的《天 黑黑》、《风筝》、《神奇》等。演出服装全部由著名设计师张叔平设计,可是在台北演出的时候,因为换装出了点问题,衣服脱不下来,孙燕姿直接用剪刀剪开了 一件波浪状的衣服。后来张叔平知道了这件事,眼睛都红了,“每一件衣服都是他亲手缝制的,都是艺术品,我想,可能他以后不会给我设计衣服了吧,呵呵”,孙 燕姿说。

她很自然!她很可爱!


Can't wait for her concert on 11th July!!!

在Orchard Rd的一个小角落,她,一个人卖命的舞蹈着。
观看的,路过的,停下脚步的,不多。
拿掉掌声,拿掉观众,她还是享受着。
我看得感动,看得鼓舞。那份对舞蹈的热爱,坚持,让她在舞台上光芒四射。
就算是个小舞台。

谢谢你,漂亮的芭蕾舞小姐。

我不是一个只能唱《疼憨人》的歌手!

事情过了3天。我已经OK了!但是每次想到在晚报的报道里,有一个评审说“杨佳盈不可能一直只唱《疼憨人》,但她偏偏在唱第二首歌时表现稍微逊色了点。" 我好介意啊!!!!

我不是不能唱《后知后觉》!!!我只是肚子太饿了!Ok, I know I'm stupid.. 那天我真的失策了。早上7点半起来,我只吃了半个crossanwich。然后下午12点的时候,我喝了一碗老黄瓜汤。That's all!所以,唱完《疼憨人》我就胃痛了!我马上拜托朋友帮我买一杯热牛奶。我以为这样就够了嘛!怎么知道上台唱这一首非常吃力的歌到一半时,就发现“惨了,不够力。”

SIGHHHHH~~~!!!算了算了!不想了!

哈哈哈。

I was reading up on Taiwan's 金曲奖. And I found this... in www.taipeitimes.com..

"After winning the coveted Best Band category, A-hsin (阿信), lead singer of the Taiwanese pop band Mayday (五月天), said that “being beaten out repeatedly is the best practice for winning.” "

AAARRRHHHH!!! HE WAS SPEAKING TO ME????? hahaha.. ASHIN WAS CONSOLING ME???

okok, fine. He's not. But this is a message to everyone!!!

Thank you all for your messages, 我是没有那么容易被击倒的!!!

I love to sing. As Yuneng pointed out, "要握住心中最初爱音乐,唱歌的本质". I will do just that. A little competition will not set me back! I have a greater plan ahead. I had a great day today and I looked back and thought, "yesterday was such a eventful day!"

Also, today Mr R said something really wise to me. He said "what's wrong with being No.2? the Underdog??" Oh man, it hit me and I woke up!!! I love to sing. And singing is never about competition!!! I mean, who dares to say Amei or Faye Wong is better??? It should not be a competition. It's just so fun to sing and connect with people! I'm sooo sooo blessed to be able to sing to people and be able to touch their hearts. And that's what's most important for me!!!! I will never forget that!!!

Although this time I lost an opportunity to sing to more people, but at least I got to touch some of your hearts yesterday at Kallang!

谢谢你们跟我一起投入在一首歌里面!在那一首歌里,我们是紧紧扣在一起,感受着一样的感受。

I'm super happy girl again. And I will always be!!!! =D

oh man.... i'm so disappointed.

yah, i'm not a fake person so i'm going to honestly tell you that i'm very disappointed that I am not in Top 3. Because I know I'm just a baby step away (can't tell you what this mean until Wanbao is out tonight.)

我总是差一点,为什么我总是差一点???

昨天宣布成绩的时候,我还没有那么伤心。我很OK的。But when I went to the Media reception, when I heard THAT news, my heart sank. Why? Why am I always one baby step away. Just like Superstar. It's like deja vu. I lose by a bit, and everyone comes to comfort me and 替我不值 and say that they were rooting for me, or they thought I was the best, etc. BUT what happened??? Last night, while we were at the reception, so many people came to tell me that they were disappointed with the result. Even some of the reporters, the TV producer, some 1003 people. They came to tell me that they were sure I am one of the 3 to go Taiwan. So what happened???

I question my singing ability. I question my star factor. I question everything!!

URGH!!!!!!!

What am I supposed to learn from all these drama??? That I'm not good enough??

真的很累。



But I'm very touched by all these people who love me, who comforted me. Sigh, I'm so blessed!!!! They keep making me cry because of their love. All the nice things that they say. So to every single one of you who are worried, thank you very much for your love. It keeps me going.

Yuneng's sms especially touched me.

"昨天金曲奖,有一句话我深深记得。当华语乐坛已经过了巅峰期时,我们必须回到音乐最初的本质。同样的,无论今天结果是什么,只要握住心中最初爱音乐,唱歌的本质,你就会遇见属于你的巅峰。"

Thanks Yuneng.

Argh, there are so much I want to write about 28th June 2009. But I'm just so exhausted.
