Eason Chosen to be Mother-in-Law

Yesterday, singers attended the 30th RTHK Music Awards' press conference. In celebration of 30 years of their music award, RTHK organized an artist voting segment where each artist voted for their "music family" in coordination with this year's theme of "We Are Family." The results of the voting revealed Hacken Lee as the father, Eason Chan as the mother (mother-in-law), Leo Ku as the eldest son, Miriam Yeung as the wife (daughter-in-law), Joey Yung as the daughter, and Kelvin Kwan as the servant. After being crowned the mother-in-law, Eason played around with the removable mole he was given, placing it at different places on his face and even onto Kay Tse's face.

Each singer was asked, then answered, regarding this year's awards and their possible outcome.

Hacken responds that hopes he can win the Gold Song Award and feels that Eason's Crying in the Party, Hins Cheung's 酷愛 and his own 花落誰家 has the highest chance of winning. He feels that Eason has the highest chance of winning the Male Singer Award.

Miriam responds that she only had one album so she has very few songs that made it on top of the charts, but she would make Leon Lai, A-Music boss, happy by winning just one award. She further says that no one will know what the outcome will be until the end, and until the end comes she will continue to promote herself.

Joey responds she will go into the awards as usual and saying, "of course I'll be happy if I win awards, but I won't be disappointed if I don't win."

Leo responds he feels Justin, Eason, Hins and himself have the highest chances of winning the Male Singer Award. When asked regarding Paco Wong, Gold Label Manager, not helping Justin push for awards because of his bad attitude, Leo defended Justin in saying that Justin's attitude is perfectly fine.

Eason responds two years ago he went into the awards with high expectations only to be disappointed at the end. He won numerous big awards last year, but was at a lost for direction in his music. Being in the industry for over 10 years, he now hopes he can thank his company's employees. When told he is expected to be the big winner at the end of the year, he responds that he isn't particularly happy after being told such news, but if he can help his company win some awards then he'll be happy. He feels the employees at his company work extremely hard, so if he wins awards it's an indication that the employees' hard work paid off.

Andy Hui, who was at a separate event, was also asked regarding the awards. He responds, "I think Eason has the highest chance of winning the Male Singer Award, we've witnessed the success he's had this year."

Wednesday night, Eric Suen was at TVB for the recording of JSG where he was asked regarding his position at this year's award ceremonies. He responds, "I am very happy with my results this year, but I am not going to think too much of the Male Singer Award. I think Eason has the highest chance of winning; when I go around the world to places where they know of Hong Kong singers, they know Eason. I hope that, in the future, I will be recognized like he is."
