The Offical Angela Chang 张韶涵 Thread
Omg I cannot believe that there's no thread about Ang but here's what I have about her...
Biography  Angela Chang was born in Taiwan. Her family immigrated to Canada when Angela was 12. As the oldest sibling in her family, Chang has a younger sister and a younger brother. She attended many singing contests when she lived in Canada. At the "Rothenacker Village Festival" singing contest "BBC Star", Chang won first place by singing Zhang Yusheng's popular song "The Day without (没有烟抽的日子)". She was subsequently offered the chance to go to Taiwan for the final, which she did not attend due to school commitments. After she graduated from high school (Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School), Angela started her career in 2000. She became popular after starring as "Tian Yuxi (田羽希)" in the TV series "My MVP Valentine (MVP情人)." Chang's first language is Mandarin, but she is also fluent in English. Info taken from Wikipedia Extra bits: She attended the same High School in Vancouver as Wilber Pan (I need confirmation on this one.) She recently chopped the hair which she had kept for 5 years into a bob hair for her latest album, Ang 5.0. She had a few rumored boyfriends, one of which includes the popular Wu Zun. She has denied all rumors, however. Although she said she would like to fall in love soon. Her latest TV show, Romantic Princess (公主小妹), which co-starred Wu Zun, was a big hit and many fans compared the pairing of Angela and Wu Zun with Ella from S.H.E and Wu Zun, who were the lead actors in the Taiwan remake of Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (花样少男少女). She's a spokesperson for Le Tea. Discography  Over The Rainbow Released: January 6th, 2004 Stand-out tracks (IMO): Fable (寓言), All Because Of You (都只因为你), My Beloved (我的最爱), Horizon (天边), Shout (呐喊), My Lost Happiness (遗失的美好), Journey  Aurora (欧若拉) Released: December 1st, 2004 Stand-out tracks (IMO): The whole album  Pandora (潘朵拉) Released: January 1st, 2006 Stand-out tracks (IMO): Once again, the whole album. Her best album to me.  Flower in the Wonderland (梦里花) Released: January 12th, 2007 Stand-out tracks (IMO): The whole album!  Angela Chang Concert Live - Taipei (百变张韶涵巡回演唱会) Released: August 10th, 2007 Details: Concert DVD of her very first concert in Taipei. A must buy if you're an Ang fan!    Ang 5.0 Expected release date: December 13rd, 2007 Confirmed tracks: I'm In Love (我恋爱了) Details: Picture for Ang 5.0 is not the album cover, just promo pics. Filmography 2002  MVP Lover (MVP 情人) as Tian Yu Xi (田羽希) 2003  Love at Dolphin Bay (海豚湾恋人) as Yi Tian Bian (易天边) 2005  When Dolphin Met Cat (海豚爱上猫) as Yingzi (英子) 2006  Bump Off Lover (爱刹17) as Xu Yi Zhen (徐宜真)/Xu Yi Jing (徐宜静)/Cat (阿CAT) 2007  Romantic Princess (公主小妹) as Huangfu Shan (皇甫珊) a.k.a Mai Qiu Sui (麦秋穗) Okay, that's about all the information that I have about Angela. I'm not sure if it's against the rules to post links of her MVs in youtube/veoh, so if someone replies to this thread and tells me otherwise, I'll post links. Please support Ang!

She looks a lot like Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl! O.O I think I'll take a listen.

I own her first two albums and have the second two downloaded. I'm also surprised that she never had a thread. Angela's amazing and her voice and music are both very unique. She's one of the few Chinese artists to sing ballads that are actually very good. She may not be able to do the super dancey songs that Jolin can, but she could easily out-sing her any day. My favorite songs are:
1. 寓言 2. 歐若拉 3. 口袋的天空 4. 吶喊 5. 夢裡花 Funny that 4 of them are ballads. I just think she has a talent for singing ballads. I can't wait for her next album. I think it comes out in January. I'm considering buying her live concert as well because she's so good. I also watched the first few episodes of Bump Off Lover. It started off really corny ("Oh no! I can't swim and the water scares me to death."), but it actually got really interesting the more it went on. She definitely has talent in acting as well as signing.

her ballads are very nice..especially those bondingo listed...
and HIGH 5 waterballoon coz i also think Pandora is her best album for now no offence, but i watched her latest MV for her new album, and her voice is so shrill at the chorus it gets irritating...but i do wanna hear what power ballads she has (anyone mind uploading 寓言 for me..on MF/YSI? thx)

Ahaha. Yes Ang has a flair of singing ballads. Her fast songs are not bad but her ballads are what stand out for me.
Anyway, I have not watched Bump Off Lover yet but I heard it's a dark teenage idol show, and Ang is playing as 3 different characters which is a challenge for her acting skills. But in the end, I still think her best drama so far is Romantic Princess. She doesn't come off as too cute or anything like it's just nice. By the way freedreamer, I've uploaded 寓言 on the download thread. It's in MF by the way. Anyway, while playing through a Christmas compilation during my band practices, I realized that the chorus for 寓言 is actually a Christmas carol/song! How cool is that lol! Okay I'm sorry freedreamer, some problem cropped up at MF so I think I can only upload the song a few days later. And um freedreamer, I've heard 我恋爱了 and watched the video over and over and I don't really think it's that shrilly. Her voice is after all more to the higher ranges so it's not a surprise that her songs are all in a high octave. Anyway, I'm gonna post some youtube/veoh links to some of her videos which I think will hook anyone up (most are ballads). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3MXrZ3Wqvc 真的 Best song by her IMO, accompanied by a great video too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdVKGXpoqnw 我恋爱了 Her latest hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvHhL8Y-62s Journey One of her few songs in English, it's definitely not Engrish so lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsGBUBJdjpg The much coveted 寓言 The chorus comes from a Christmas carol, not too sure what it is though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov13WiLAvOc 口袋的天空 A nice ballad by her, boring video though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6P0D0cEO48 不痛 Her 2nd best song IMO, gotta love the strings at the beginning and the ever so sexy cello just before she sings.

I'm glad to see that Angela has her own thread here now  I've liked listening to her music since the beginning of this year, when I watched Dolphin Bay with my cousins.

Omg it seemed like forever since I updated this. But LATEST NEWS!!! Ang 5.0 is already released in Singapore! The cover looks stunning and I have not bought it yet but it's confirmed that another song in Romantic Princess, I Don't Wish To Understand/Know (forgot the chinese name ^_^) is in it too.
Also, Jay Chou composed/wrote/produced a song for Angela! It's in the Ang 5.0 as well and it's called "Dear, That's Not Love"!!! The MV for the song was also released and Angela is portrayed as a school girl. Ang 5.0 seems like a very hot album, with a song produced by Jay. Another news... Angela went to Beijing to promote Ang 5.0! http://asianfanatics.net/forum/Angela-Came-to-Beijing-to-Promote-Ang50-talk481891.html  Angela in Beijing  Album cover of Ang 5.0 (not toooo sure about this one...)

I'm currently listening to her new album, and I love it. Her voice is so stunning.
I might start watching Romantic Princess soon. But the lead actor is fug.

LOL. Ironically, the lead actor is considered a true hottie to many many many people. I've not comments on his looks though. He's just normal to me.
Fine, I'm kidding. I'm being biased in my comment cos there's someone I love like mad now, and when you do have such a person, no matter how hot someone else is... he'll just never match up to your beloved.

^ I know he's really popular in Taiwan. But he's not that special at all. He's kinda bland.
I'd pick Mike He over him anytime.  --- There's a bit of English in "能不能勇敢說愛". I love this song. <3

And... her hair makes her very lively and cute! Haha. You can get that hair when the length is suitable to be cut again... Anyway, I don't think I'll buy Ang 5.0 YET, I'll most likely wait until she comes up with a second edition or something. She's not Jolin, so the second edition should be the final one. Haha.

Her hair seems much thicker than mine, though, so it might be hard for me to get that same haircut
 What do you mean by 'second edition'?
