A-do’s November messages on Baidu

《成义国杜》is currently down, so I went to search for videos instead. And I found this verified page where A-do leaves messages:

I will be adding this as one of the sidebar links.

What’s that song on One Million Singer/Don’t Forget the Lyrics?

This is one very belated post.

A-do’s song《单向的爱》appeared as one of the song choices in《我要唱下去》 (Chinese version of Don’t Forget the Lyrics in Singapore). After that, I saw《撕夜》and《离别》showing up in different episodes of《百万大歌星》 (One Million Singer – the Taiwanese equivalent of Don’t Forget the Lyrics but with slightly different rules) However, all these songs weren’t given much airtime in Singapore (and I think Taiwan too) at the time of their release, so I wasn’t too surprised that the contestants didn’t choose these songs.

《撕夜》and《离别》are both from A-do’s 2002 debut《天黑》Tian Hei, while 《单向的爱》is in 2007’s《撒野》／《差一点》(mainland Chinese title)/Release.

《单向的爱》doesn’t have an official music video, so what I am posting here is the opening footage from 2007’s《爱情烘焙屋》/Love Bakery, where A-do was the main lead. The other related videos from CTV’s Youtube channel can be seen here:

Apologies to whoever came in from New South Wales and clicked on a broken link

Any links starting with "ado.youyou.com" are now broken... will have to fix these after my exams end in early December.

I am certainly looking forward to hearing this song.

New album due year end... hope there won't be further delay.

Updates will be slow for the next month or so...

In the meantime, for the latest news in Chinese, here's the Facebook group set up by the Taiwanese fan club: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=128690009899&ref=nf

There's also the 成义国杜 forum at http://ado.5d6d.com. Hopefully when my exams are over in early December, I will have more to write about. :)

A-do in Singapore Hit Awards flashback video

(the video seems to have been taken down, so I am removing the URL and "videos" tag)

He sang the theme song as a newcomer in 1999 (unfortunately this is not in the video, but it was shown on TV a few years ago), and won the Best Newcomer (Gold) and Best Local Singer (with Stefanie Sun) in 2002 and 2003 respectively.
No nominations this year, but hopefully next year I will be filing more posts under the “Singapore Hit Awards” label with his album tentatively due this November.
