Bowie Lam is not a TVB contracted artist anymore, but his new song Youth Ignorance, the sub theme of TVB series When Heaven Burns in which he performed with Moses Chan and Kenny Wong, have been so popular it is being sung from the streets to the alleys. The one line: "If, fate can decide" already sang out the hearts of viewers. Earlier the song already won Netizens' choice in an online awards presentation, but unfortunately the song is still neglected by its 'own people' TVB and did was not part of the 'JSG Awards'. Some Netizens criticized that Youth Ignorance deserved the 'Gold Song Gold Award' more than Raymond Lam's CHOK! Producer admits too late for promotions
Although Youth Ignorance had no fate with the JSG Awards, but on the January 6th JSG Charts, the song was discovered on the top 5! JSG (or TVB) had always only accepted contracted singers, but Bowie Lam is considered an exception since he has no contract with them and still made it on the charts. Reporters contacted JSG producer (Mak Jan Dung) about the issue and he admitted they have broken the rules. He said he will only allow the song to be on the charts for one week: "We shouldn't be too sensitive because the recording had already been scheduled three weeks ago to help promote for When Heaven Burns. (The series is already done broadcasting!) It is indeed too late." In fact, Youth Ignorance had already broke into the Chik Chak 903 Top 20 list early last month, which proves TVB is a slow as lard!
Regarding TVB breaking the rules for him, Bowie laughed and said he's considered unprecedented then. He also thanked TVB in a criticizing way: "I really don't know what village, what rules, but this proves there is a turnaround. It is a good thing. (Said they wanted to help 'When Heaven Burns' promote!) The series ended, promote what?! Everyone knew when the series ended." He reveals he will not sign a contract, but will still shoot TVB series. When asked if he'll participate in War and Beauty II? He expressed Miss Virgina Lok invited him before, he will still have to reserve time on his schedule, but no one came to follow up with him, therefore he will not care about it anymore.
As for Moses Chan, he attended a 2012 opening ceremony for Season of Love and when asked about Raymond Lam's song CHOK getting the 'Gold Song Gold Award'? Moses laughed: "I don't know how to CHOK, I just know Youth Ignorance."
When the public felt pity Youth Ignorance didn't get any awards, the song suddenly makes it on JSG charts. Kenny Wong said over the phone: "Thanks for letting the song be on the charts and get acknowledge. I hope When Heaven Burns can release a soundtrack too."
