Sunday January 1, 2005 Hong Kong Nominees for 2005 RTHK Top 10 Music Awards Yesterday, aside from waiting for the New Year to arrive, was also the day RTHK announces its nominees for this years RTHK Top 10 Music Awards. Every year, there has been 10 Outstanding Artists Awards given out and even though this years competition has been extremely close RTHK has decided to keep the list at 10, with that, the list excluded Jacky Cheung and Kelly Chen. Top 10 Outstanding Artists (I don't know if these are the placements, but its how they are listed in the article) Andy Lau Jay Chou Eason Chan Leo Ku Hacken Lee Miriam Yeung Joey Yung Denise Ho Twins Justin With the addition of Denise Ho and Justin, Jacky Cheung is placed11th and Kelly Chen is placed 12th on the list. While placing 13th - 15th are Stefanie Sun, Janice, and Sandy Lam. Within the Top 20 there are 3 newcomers, aside from Justin and Janice, Ivana Wong is among the Top 20. The following are the 5 nominees for each of the 4 big awards to be given out (so nominations are in no order.) Favorite Song in Asia 童話 - Michael Kong 明日恩典 - Joey Yung 夕陽無限好 - Eason Chan 再說一次, 我愛你 - Andy Lau 吉祥三寶 - 布仁巴雅爾 Favorite Male Singer in Asia Eason Chan Hacken Lee Jay Chou Hin Cheung Andy Lau Favorite Female Singer in Asia Stefanie Sun Joey Yung 韓虹 Kelly Chen Jolin Tsai Favorite Group in Asia Twins F.I.R S.H.E 羽泉 Tat Ming
Was 明日恩典 - Joey Yung even that popular, especially given in the entire continent of Asia-context? And Justin being placed in the top 10 is very surprising. He's a good singer, but a newcomer at best. I wonder how the placements were decided.
