Title: Leon & A Music
Mrs Lai - July 28, 2004 10:57 PM (GMT)
Debut was yesterday (28th)... I just wanna get a new thread started on it... hehe...
Any comments, expectations etc...
quadshock - July 28, 2004 11:02 PM (GMT)
expect variety ^ ^ i'm sure he knows what ot do. David Tao signed Tension, almost signed Shawn Song (hip hop) and worked w/ LA Boyz (hip hop)....and has tried out rock styles before. Wonder if the company could try out some singers who don't do ballads...
comments: AWESOME first newcomer ^ ^
Mrs Lai - July 28, 2004 11:21 PM (GMT)
Nooo... I want ballads... variety right? U can't get a variety without ballads... hehe.
Ok lah for first performance... he needs quite a lot of improvement tho... Like, he kinda used the same voice to sing the whole song from start to finish... I don't think that's right. But it shouldn't be hard for him... like that first performance for a karaoke singer is a great start...
But... Leon should release a CD first... don't worry abt the newcomers yet Leon...
15 days to go if yesasia is accurate and no delays...
quadshock - July 28, 2004 11:26 PM (GMT)
i don't mean no ballads from the company...just that not every single artist signed on should do ballads...
leonfantasy - July 29, 2004 03:34 AM (GMT)
so any video about the a-music, or news??anyone has been there??
quadshock - July 29, 2004 04:03 AM (GMT)
yeah got a video w/ leon interviews and a small "Making of" clip of the MV...
Mrs Lai - July 29, 2004 04:29 AM (GMT)
I think it's not abt the company having a variety... I think the singers themselves have to... Singers who don't do ballads don't last very long in my opinion... hehe.

paul wong has lasted...Beyond lasted...LMF achieved "one of the most respected HK bands in Asia" status...
and it is the company. If they are brave enough to sign someone on who's not just pop music then the artist would bring variety, and VARIETY is what keeps the industry alive. So the company is who chooses what artists get the promotion, etc.
Mrs Lai - July 29, 2004 06:02 AM (GMT)
Imo, Paul Wong is only popular cos of Anita...
LMF was like a one hit thing... didn't really get much respect.
It's the company and the artists as well. But if the artists themselves can do lots of styles then there's more reason to like them. What I mean is HK is kinda not loyal... so if aren't good enough to follow the trend then u're gonna fall behind, and that's BYE BYE cos no fan is gonna stay behind with u.
quadshock - July 29, 2004 06:57 AM (GMT)
LMF wasn't a one hit thing...they were popular up until their breakup with the FInalazy album (which happened to sell quite a bit) and yes they're respected all over. trust me. Malaysia, KL, Singapore (even banned, they're popular lol), etc. etc. over here in the US quite a few number of ppl listen to LMF as their only chinese band...
if anything, Paul got backing from being part of Beyond. And his songs are getting high on radio charts after Anita isn't here (RIP). But all this aside, the focus, like Leon said, is quality, not sales. LMF, Beyond, Paul Wong, Jun Kung, Garlum, etc. etc. are all quality.

Sorry, I'm such an idiot... I mean Athena... (I knew it sounded weird)
quadshock - July 29, 2004 08:04 PM (GMT)
well the only reason why the "not loyal" thing happens is because the audience hasn't been exposed (the mainstream audience i mean) to artists that "last" to show them that true music does not get old...

eh did that guy sing at the press confrence? didn't hear/see
i thought he was mark's brother, remeber him being more ugly than that hehe.
not sure what expect or have any expectations for the company, will you guys be buying A Music singers' albums?
Mrs Lai - July 30, 2004 02:18 PM (GMT)
No, I was talking abt the CD performance. Mark's bro looks like he's on drugs... hehe... YCY looks healthy... diff families. :P

Hey, I was wondering abt that as well. If all the Leon fans bought all A Music releases that would look really good for Leon... hehe. But I don't think we're all that rich.
quadshock - July 30, 2004 06:17 PM (GMT)
i'll buy the albums if they're good...regardless of companies. but if this company has a lot of good albums...then of course
leonfantasy - July 30, 2004 07:14 PM (GMT)
wait, so A music is not for Leon only, but also will release other singer's CDs??
quadshock - July 30, 2004 08:58 PM (GMT)
of course...they won't be able to make much profit w/ just one singer if the cd's only come out once a year or less
guest - July 31, 2004 12:26 AM (GMT)
Maybe I'll try Charles Ying's new album since Leon is taking good care of him!! As for others, all depends on quality!

They might, cos since they only got the one singer they don't spend that much on advertising and all... hehe. But let's just hope he signs heaps and heaps of talented singers. That way he can take EEG down and finally get that respect from non-fans.
Btw, is there a logo for A Music yet? I wanna see it...
Oh oh, also... imagine YCY getting best newcomer... "I'd like to thank 'Lai lo ban'..." haha... how good does that sound?!
qhettocow - August 2, 2004 05:05 PM (GMT)
All right ive been totally lacking in my Leon news as of late.
Let me get this straight - has Leon switched companies or somethin? Or has he started a new company?
And this new album - its coming out on the 13th? I think itll be pushed back till later. it's one day after Andy Lau's release. Heh...I wonder how the sales will be. I desperately hope that it will be released before the 26th - so I can have it while im back in my dorm at collage! :D
leonfantasy - August 2, 2004 05:22 PM (GMT)
where were u, ghetto? :D
he has started the new company called Amusic, (Leon picked that name) , we will have an official webpage.
Mrs Lai - August 3, 2004 07:09 AM (GMT)
Yeh, Leon actually mentioned in an interview on the 28th of July that it'll prob be out in 3 weeks... but let's hope everything went better than expected and Yesasia is correct... hehe... that means we only got 10 days to go... woohoo... and don't forget the Mark concert this Sunday... we'll prob get some news vids of Leon singing some new songs... YEH!!! :D
qhettocow - August 5, 2004 01:40 AM (GMT)

GaV - August 5, 2004 03:42 AM (GMT)

Mrs Lai - August 5, 2004 07:39 AM (GMT)
