Taiwan pop diva Jolin Tsai was the biggest winner at the 18th
Golden Melody Awards on Saturday, dubbed the Chinese-language
Grammys.
Jolin Tsai was awarded Most Popular Female Singer and Best
Mandarin Female Singer, for her album Dancing Diva, a
fusion of hip hop, reggae, rock and roll, ballads and Middle
Eastern music.
"I want to thank those who think it's impossible for me to make
it because they keep me going forward ... I also want to thank my
fans who have supported me all the way," said an emotional Jolin
Tsai.
The Most Popular Male Singer award went to Taiwan singer Show
Luo, who signed on with the recording company EMI in May and is
preparing for a new album. The Best Mandarin Male Singer was Korean
American singer Nicky Lee for his R and B album I'm Your
Baby.
Producer-singer-songwriter David Tao collected the Best Song of
the Year award for his ballad You Are Marrying Me Today, a
duet he performed with Jolin Tsai.
Taiwan pop king Jay Chou, although he missed out in the Best
Mandarin Male Singer nominations, won the first-ever Best Single
Producer award for his hit Rap song Huo Yuan Jia, the
theme song for a martial-arts film.
