MTV Asia Music Awards

Just wanted to post about these Awards because I have been in an awards craze recently anyway I just wanted to talk about the nominations.
For the China Award I only know Li YuChun but please don't vote her as winner! I wish Jane Zhang was in this as she has great vocals.
Anyway why doesn't India have their own award but instead have to vote for other world wide awards. I personally think the MTV Asia award is actually more of an American award but with Asians voting!
Anyway not going to talk about Indonesia as I know none of them!
Hong Kong of course if the one I'm more familiar with - I'll be cheering on Joey because she is my favourite Hong Kong artiste! I hope you do to!
Though I do listen to Korean music I actually haven't much of an idea on any of the Korean nominees, I know who they are but I haven't really listened to them! And why are they all groups put some people like BoA in their! With Korea it seems weird because the best artistes they have that are in Asia are not winning many awards in Korea!
Anyway I thought I knew a bit about Malaysian music but I have only heard of Nicolas Teo! Anyway we'll see what happens their.
Singapore is also one which I'm slightly more familiar with. To all the fans of Electrico sorry I don't know who they are! I personally don't like Stephanie Sun that much even if she is really really famous. Tanya Chua and JJ Lin are OK but I don't have that many songs by them on my Ipod or just haven't listened to them. I would like Tanya to win for some reason maybe because JJ annoys me a bit even though I like his vocals.
Taiwan is my second most familiar as I know all the artistes! YEAH! Anyway I do need to start listening to more Mayday songs because I just haven't been that interested for some reason. I will support Jolin here because she is the best out of the 4! S.H.E. was one of my favourites at the start of their career but I have just developed a disliking for their recent music choices! I much prefer F.I.R. who should be here. Show Luo also is what his name is he is more of a show-er(not anything bad though) I basically mean he is more of a performer - I actually don't really like many of his songs! Anyway it's so bad that A-mei Chang and Leehom Wang aren't nominated as they are the best in Taiwan! Also I thought Jay Chou had an album recently so wouldn't he be a likely candidate to choose? Anyway if it was my decision it would be A-mei, Jolin, Leehom and F.I.R.! They are definitely the top 4 of Taiwan!
Now let's calm down and talk about the other awards
The Favourite International Artist in Asia annoys me a bit to be honest. Ok I know Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing was real hot in Asia because I basically heard it everywhere I went and I accept she is one of the favourites in Asia but why Fergie and Linkin Park! I think Fergie was more enforced by the Americans rather than being a favourite of the Asian population because she did so well in America. I don't remember liking "the Duchess" that much but it seemed to do fantastically in America. I don't really like Glamorous and I have never heard of the songs London Bridge and Big Girls Don't Cry and don't make me start on Linkin Park. I like Justin Timberlake though!
The Breakthrough Artist award doesn't shock me at all because all of them have done well around the world, though I'm not too knowledgeable about Daughtry. Anyway my favourite here is OneRepublic I just loved their album and I'm sure I've went through this in my blog already. Mika isn't a favourite of mine but he seems to have been a huge hit in Asia. Leona is also doing well and it's nice to see two british acts doing so well here. I'll be cheering for OneRepublic though.
I don't really want to talk about the Innovation award as it doesn't really click with me! What is it for!
The Best Hook Up Award is interesting in my opinion. I don't know much about the Avril and Lil' Mama collab. because I haven't heard of the remix of Girlfriend. To be honest I much rather "When You're Gone" being one of the biggets hits because I like that song however it flopped compared to Girlfriend.
The Shakira and Beyonce collab was Ok but it wasn't my favourite song to be honest ("Beautiful Liar"). Rihanna ft. Jay-Z's "Umbrella" is a good song and very catchy so I'll put a mark on that one but my favourite is Timbaland ft. OneRepublic's "Apologize" I am just in love with the song and to be honest the song actually was much better with the help of Timbaland!
I don't want to talk about Bring Da House Down or Video Star award either because they don't have my favourite artists in their!

F.I.R. - Fairlyland in Reality

As I said I will be giving my opinion on certain albums be it new or old. Fairyland In Reality is my first one, it is the first album of the band F.I.R. which subsequently shot them to fame and rightly so. Fairyland In Reality is probably one of the best albums I own where I like nearly all the songs.

My favourite songs in this album are the smash hit Lydia and Our Love "Wo Men de Ai". Both are very moving and beautiful pieces of music.

Other great songs are "Liu Lang Zhe Zhi Ge" and Flame "Guang Mang". Fly Away, Hou Luo Yuen and You Make Me Want to Fall In Love are also good songs which makes this album full of great music. The only song which I didn't like as much was "Ta Luo Pai". I also think F.I.R. have great choruses, every song sort of builds up till you reach the climax - being the chorus. I just loved this album and it is a great debut album even though this is the third F.I.R. album I listened to as I only started on their third album. F.I.R. is probably my favourite Asian group because of their fantastic vocals and soothing songs, it's a shame I only started this craze for them halfway into their career. This album managed to stay on the Hito Board Top 10 for 19 weeks whilst being at No.1 for 8 weeks. On the G-Music charts (which is more familiar to me) they stayed on for 26 weeks whilst gaining 11 weeks at the top position (G-Music Charts are solely based on the sales). Currently I don't know how many sales this album produced so it would be nice if someone could inform me of that!

Next Idea

I think now as I have more time I will start to analyse the albums I have got this year. I recently downloaded Taeyang's Hot as I wanted to listen to more Korean music as Se7en, Rain and BoA aren't enough for me seeing both Rain and Se7en have barely released anything. I also downloaded Usher's Here I stand which I'll be listening to in the near future so look out for these albums on this blog!
