Last night, TVB's JSG Best Ten Music Awards Presentation 2011 unveiled the last report card in the music scene. Although the Big 4 royalty disputes are over, Eason Chan, Hacken Lee, Kay Tse and the other singers were unable to make it on the JSG charts in time to be part of the awards. Last night, the Big 4 singers won nothing. Also, Miriam Yeung had no contract with TVB, so under the situation of no competitors, Leo Ku and Joey Yung successfully crowned Music King and Queen once again. Joey and Raymond Lam were the big winners of the night with a total of 4 awards. This is Joey's 7th time getting the 'Most Popular Female Singer Award' and holds a strong record in history. When Joey got the award from her award presenter, Hacken Lee, she said excitedly: "Wah! Hacken Lee, you came back. I'm very happy to get this award from you!"
Leo won 2 awards including the 'Most Popular Male Singer Award'. He is now tied with record holder Alam Tam (1984-1987) for the award, both got it 4 times. Leo announced before that he will no longer get any awards, he said thankfully: "I really like working with music. I put in my best effort each year and hope to show all the hard work we have done in the award ceremonies. However, in the last two years, we are often more concerned of who is competing with who or which companies are wrestling and less focus is given on the hard work of us singers. I started feeling distinct from participating in award ceremonies, but I see my colleagues get excited on their achievements. Each year at fan gatherings, I would take my award with me and take pictures with the fans, I see how happy my fans are, so I know awards are still very important."
Raymond won the 'Asia-Pacific (Male)' award for the third time and the 'Gold Song Gold Award' - CHOK for the first time. As TVB executive Virgina Lok's favorite, Raymond did not forget to thank her: "Thanks to TVB for raising me and thank you Miss Lok for trusting me so much." The 'Asia-Pacific (Female)' award unexpectedly fell on Ivana Wong's hands for the first time. She said wholeheartedly on stage: "I have been making music with my heart and soul all along. I debuted 7 years ago and have carried this heart since then. I never thought of any awards, but at this moment, I really want to thank TVB. If there is anyone out there that feels I need to work harder, I promise you all I can take up the responsibility and be the singer who gets this award."
