[truehappiness]

Obviously, he's jealous.

There are singers who can sing without gasping for air, jeez.

:>

[babamon]

Look at the outcome of his comments.. this shows that it's better not to mess with someone that's world-wide well known.

What i'm worried now is will this affect her concert in Shanghai next. I bet the ppl/media attending will be taking note to see if she lip-sync. If ayu knows abt this dunno will she hold another asia tour again

[alt.total-loser]

^ I would hope that him thinking she lip-synched wouldn't cause her to not hold another Asia Tour. o__o

[URANUS]

^ These sort of news usually upset the singer. So Ayu's mood is definitely going to change a bit.

i think that comment would not affect ayu so much, because ayu is a profesional
singer, maybe she even doesn't know who the hell eason chan is. and ayu will ends her tour outside japan perfectly.
plus, ayu has us, ayufans who will always support her career.

but i'm still demanding that butthead-eason to apologize to ayu, and he MUST!!

Thanks to Eason, I have friends making snide remarks like 'Hey he slept through the whole concert!!' 'Hey Eason said Ayumi lip-synched!'

Greaaat. Some of you guys don't realise the status of Eason Chan in the Chinese community. His words have a lot of impact

[summersnow]

Yup I know. He's very well-known in the Chinese music industry, can be compared with Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung etc. I'm really sad of what he had said about Ayu. He doesn't really respect her performance and even said bad about other Japanese artistes too. If this really becomes a bigger matter, I think Ayu will re-consider carefully about having Asia Tour again.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

lol with the HK media and celebs especially now there media is doing it, this all just seems like another case in millions of Chinese jealousy towards Japan.

[URANUS]

I would say it's jealousy too. Let's compare the sales of both Ayu and Eason's recent album domestic CD sales.

Eason Chan - Get a Life - sold a total of around 40,000 copies
Ayu - SECRET - sold an astonishing 650,000 copies

And I checked Eason's rranking in Taiwan and none of his albums made the top 20. ROFL. On the other hand, Ayu's had topped the charts with all her albums.

LOL, we can obviously see why japan is considered as the second biggest music industry, he is nothing compare to ayu and other japanese singer!

You people do realize that print media can be manipulative?

1. Exactly how many times larger is Japan's population compared to Hong Kong's population? (126 million / 7 million = 18 times) So it would be more like 720k vs. 650k. Plus, you're comparing a live and a studio album.

2. His last Mandarin album was released in 2005 so unless you had access to that data...and the last time I checked, he was the 2nd HK artist that won Most Popular Male in Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards (Chinese Grammys)

Yes. However, even BoA's concerts aren't 100% live. (They're like ~90%?)

That's misleading, since singers from HK have just as much appeal there as in Taiwan, Singapore, and the mainland. Unless they barred his CD from being sold outside the city, which i doubt.

1. I think Uranus meant "Life Continues" sold 40,000 copies. Because I have read the newspaper and they showed the sales of the albums that were released in 2006 and Eason's album was ranked 2nd yearly. "Get a Life" was a live album and sold less than 5,000 copies in HK as it was no where in the yearly ranking.

2. His last Mandarin album "How?" was released in November of 2005 and it did poorly as it was off the ranking in two weeks after it was released. Ken Hirai's album was released the same week and debuted at #2 and stayed on the ranking for a long time. It obviously sold more than Eason's album. So I guess that's where his jealousy of JPOP singers come from. Of course, that's probably just one of the reasons.

Reading eason's article initially and watching his video has a rather big difference. I realised in the video, he's alot more polite. The article made him out to be much more rude. Yes he stands on his opinion that he thinks ayu lipsynchs because of the massive dancing. But in a way he also tried to defend ayu that lipsyching is not a big problem even Michael Jackson (the King of Pop) does it.

If they are so sure that she lipsynched, all the more I want to the live video myself and judge by myself. That's if they are ever gonna release it or something.

And hmm, I don't think ayu will drop her future asia tours just because of this, she don't have to disappoint all her fans because of one eason guy. So don't worry about that =)

Even if he sounded polite, to say that he fell asleep during the concert and that he left in the middle of the concert is outrageous. As a singer himself, he should know very well that it was horrendously rude to fall asleep in a concert. Eason's comments about Ayu has reached almost every part of the chinese entertainment world. It's headline news. I know, it's crazy but the media is so quick to jump on news on Ayu. I wouldn't be surprised if some people who aren't familiar with Ayu are already calling her the lip-synch diva.

Well since ayu left HK, hopefully the news will go away. Damn those reporters! they took pics of ayu showing her bra! She was wearing a low cut dress and they photographed her showing her bra and published it. Man....they are making chinese ppl look very bad!

OMG! must be those stupid paparazi again..why do they always like to take those sort of pictures? they had already pissed off their own hongkong artist...why must they do shame to themself......

well, let's hope the next time during his concert, the people will be polite to sleep through it.
but i don't have to worry too much about people thinking ayu not singing live, i'll simply show them ayu's concert and let them see and HEAR ayu's breathless notes.
Even MY MUM who only see SOME clips of ayu, AND she can tell apart when she's singing live.

Some concert videos are already on this forum
you should see the one of until that day
and you'll hear that ayu went off-key during "uh~la~la~la" while she was having "massive dancing", she also stuck a little in the song.

[WillofDusk]

Dude that's excluding her Taiwan and HK sales.
That's just her Japan sales.
Adding Taiwan and HK, it'd be much more dramatic. Eason has no chance to be against this queen.
