the Yu fever~

discovered him when i first listen to his song
楼下那个女人 (Woman downstairs)
some where midnight when i was in Secondary 2
while the peers r so busy with Jay Chou and Leehom

his name is 游鸿明 , Chris Yu
wonder why i always have chris's name around?
now u know why...



he's a Taiwanese...not a high profile artist
he sings, he composes, he writes
though Malaysian Chinese might have heard of him
but...the Jay Chou craze...
im not so sure coz Malaysian are typical stereotype ppl
packaging means a lot here

he started his career as a freelance singer @ some cafe in Taiwan when he was in his U
not much know him but he got spotted
and signed a contract


a typical Scorpion
sensible and charming
read a post bout him @ some forum *here*

for peeps who cant read chinese but want to know
can always translate the pages...i guess *babel*


by the way...he is currently under Sony BMG Entertainment
one of the biggest music production company
there must be a very solid reason why Sony signed him
agree?


his latest album released somewhere end of 2007, early Jan 08
倦鸟余花
depicts the homesick of outstation-ers to their lovers back at hometown

and the great thing is...
he has a personal Sony Homepage *sony me*

which is about his previous album
The Poet's Tears 诗人的眼泪

that made him appear as himself
previously he was more on to backstage production
where he wrote a lot of songs sung by Leehom , Jacky Cheung
indirectly
he made the superstars, superstars

a noble title is given by the fans -> 情歌诗人 the Love Song Poet
and i am totally agree with it
coz he seems to be the prefect 1 entitled to this

im not very deep into others
but i think tht his songs
are of high intellectual thoughts
really sensual and emo kind of
understanding of the lyrics means a lot here
the stories behind ...the ambience...even the environment is composed in his songs too
u can really feel the heartbreak thru his songs

his stories' genre differs
affairs...admire...heartbreak...joy...pride

well...everybody knows that the 2008 Beijing Olympic is so soon
and the previous 1 , 2004 Olympic Athens
was sung by IL DIVO and TONI BRAXTON

with strong vocal skills and great packaging

this time, the oriental Olympic attempt
has appointed him to sing the official theme song
sing + compose + MV

and he actually got his idea from the Olympic itself *click me* * me 2*
for peeps tht cant understand the song
u can feel the pride from the music too

just follow the rhythm

the title --> 英雄 Hero
*click here to try it out*

he is just so perfect
no rumours...bad news
no scandals...the perfect 1

and he sings really really really really really nice
his vocal skill is different from shayne ward kind of
softer...but firm
light...but with power
convincing...yet sad


i was thinking...oh my God
he is totally the prefect choice as a boyfriend
you know...
not just Johnny Depp's kinda charm
not just Brad Pitt's eyes
not just Takeshi Kaneshiro's sexy

his approach is beyond
much more developed kind of mature
guys prob cant understand this

till this morning...i accidentally found this *click me* *and me~* *snob snob*
he is married
and has a daughter

...a bit sad
but its true
he is already over 30 yrs old...
it will be odd if he doesnt have his family

anticipating wad will his wife look like
but they sure are pro hiding the wife
coz nothing is revealed yet
no even his personal pictures


the fever will still carry on
and on and on and on and on and on
