SINGAPORE HIT AWARDS 2008: RESULTS
And it's already that time of year - award shows. First one up (with a proper ceremony) was the Singapore Hit Awards 2008 held on the 28th of October. I've listed the main awards and left out a few (mainly the regional awards) and on the night the biggest winner was 30 year old, One Million star contestant, Aska Yang who left with a total of five awards. Follwing closely was Eason Chan and Yoga Lin, both with four awards. No downloads in this post, but there is the widget at the end for you to check out some tunes from the winners. Do you think they went to the right person? Um, as for personal opinions I don't really have much to say apart from the fact nearly all Chinese award shows are rigged and they just end up giving a handful of awards for the same thing. Yes, someone do please explain to me the difference between "Most Popular Group" and "Best Group" -- I guess one's chosen from judges, one from the public? Why don't they just make it a single award then? But did anyone notice Quack Wu? (can someone please tell me who he is, lol). This name is enough to a smile to my face.
