Miriam Yeung will duet a medley with Real Ting; Real hopes to duet a Korean song

Yesterday the Hong Kong soverignty transfer back to China 13th anniversary celebration started. A 3 night celebration concert will be held in Hong Kong Coliseum, a majority of Hong Kong artists will be performing. The first night will include guests Elisa Chan, Kay Tse and Miriam Yeung. Second night there will be rumored couple Andy Hui and Han Hong. Leon Lai and Han Hong will end the show on the last night.

Miriam will only be singing two songs "Drinking Siyuan" and "Had been very happy". Yesterday Miriam wore a black dress to match her Chinese colour flowered shoes. Asked why she didn't wear a red dress instead? She expressed that it was mix and match last night. She is proud to be a Hong Kong girl and happy to be able to do a celebration show for it. Miriam reveals that recently she's been rehearsing for her concert in full power. As her husband Real Ting asked her to sing a Korean song with him? Miriam laughed: "No?? But maybe we'll have a duet because the title of the concert is 'lady and gentlemen'." She reveals that usually her husband hogs the mic, and suprisingly she doesn't sing often. She expressed that when the time comes, the most we'll see is she'll duet medley with her husband. Sometimes her husband even teaches her how to get into the key, but they don't sing often at home. A magazine report said that she recently spent HK$30,000 on liposuction to get thinner legs. Miriam joked: "I rather make my legs longer and do a boob job first."

Miriam Yeung to do a 'wedding rehearsal' at October World Tour Concert

Miriam Yeung will be holding her concert 'Ladies and Gentlemen Miriam Yeung World Tour--HK Stop' on October 7th - 10th in Hong Kong Coliseum. Miriam will be doing a wedding rehearsal at the concert and Thomas Chan is her concert designer. Thomas especially tailored a bridal look for Miriam. Even before the concert, Miriam already held her wedding banquet for early excitement. Miriam appeared in a low-cut wedding dress for the concert poster shooting, she could not help but praise herself: "Looks like I do have a career line!"

Miriam was very excited to be able to look like a bride for the concert poster. She started losing weight for the wedding preparation, eating tomatoes, cherries every day and follows a weight loss menu. She also stopped eating microwave dinners at night and is going for jogs, the gym and boxing. She successfully lost 5-6 pounds already. As the other costume designs for the concert all bring a wedding feeling, Miriam's most favourite one is the simple wedding dress she wore for the poster. She plans to wear it during the wedding toast and the dress will be re-designed. Asked about her concert being a wedding rehearsal, will her husband Real Ting be on stage? She laughed: "Let's see if he has enough courage to come up to the stage!"

Miriam Yeung sang her new song << 飲酒思源>> at Jade Solid Gold the night before yesterday. It was realised that her some of the lyrics were different from the actual lyrics, she explained on her Weibo yesterday that the lyrics was amended to match broadcasting law, then record the Live version to make it the TV channel's MV. She laughed and said, " this is "TVB 飲酒思源"version".

Jade Solid Gold's producer Mak Jan Dung explained, "Jade Solid Gold is premiered at 7 in the evening, this time is very rigorous, there cannot be any words that has to do with cigarettes or alchohol, before this Miriam Yeung and all other music companies were already notified, that was why two words were amended." Another TVB S&P's producing department asked me to double check, especially foreign MV and programs.

Miriam Yeung anxious to lose weight on tummy

Miriam Yeung was at studios yesterday to promote her new album and upcoming concert in October. As both Jay Chou's and Alan Tam's concert had increased admission fees, she was asked if she would follow suit. She replied that she did not know as that is not related; she usually gets her usual fee, which has never increased.

She was questioned about her concert, if she would use any 3D or 4D effects. Being a joker, she replied, "3D? Figure is more important. (Now G cup?) Even if I push from my ankles, I'll never get a G!"

Earlier, the papers had photographed her with a seemingly large stomach, and was probed about the question of pregnancy. She 'jumped' to clarify that she had to exercise more to prepare for approaching wedding banquets, especially when she had to fit into her gown. She also hopes that the company would understand and allow her to go on a long, well-deserved vacation.

Miriam Yeung's new song was not out of tune, recording "happy" version

After Miriam Yeung signed up with Capital Artist, while she was recording her famous song (飲酒思源), she was hit by asthma. When she was singing at a high tone, she went out of tune. Miriam will record a perfect version. She exposed through the phone that, the last part of the song will be singing with a 6 years old kid, the version of two songs would be totally different. The single version would be more "sad", and we used another way to present the duet version, the result would be more "happy". Actually Keith Chan (composer and producer) already thought of second version of the recording of first version, so that's why we came up with a remix version. She stressed that there is no cancellation of first version, both versions would be in the new CD, " we can't collect back water that has been poured out."

Keith Chan also explained that the part which was thought that was out of tune was actually set higher on purpose.

Miriam Yeung: Redo song record not because of off-tune

It was reported that when Miriam Yeung sang the high notes (this line of the lyrics: "Talks about friendship more and more") to her new song "飲酒思源" she sounded like she went off-tune. To avoid damaging her Pop Queen status, Miriam demanded to take back the song and record it again. Yesterday Miriam attended the RTHK series "毒戒" press conference and denied that she wanted to record the song again due to being off-tune. However, she does admit that her voice suddenly became sharper and felt that the emotions could be expressed better, so it would be best to record the song again.

When asked about wanting to record her song again due to being off-tune? Miriam said: "Recording the song over again due to being off-tune is something impossible. With the current high technology, a little off-tune is not a problem, 2 seconds off can be easily fixed. The producer requested that I go that high when I sing that part of the song and that I should sound sharper. If he discovers that I went off-tune he will immediately request me to sing it again. How can an off-tune piece be released? You think the 30 people who listened to the song before its release has hearing problems? People shouldn't exaggerate so much." However, Miriam does admit she could express her emotions better and can record the song again. She said: "When I was recording, I experienced asthma issues which affected my breathing while I sang. The song released to play on the radio stations is just a demo, it cannot be placed on the actual CD. It's just like acting, when the expressions aren't done well or dialogue isn't said well, then you can NG a few more times. This is normal in music production as well." Miriam denied that she wanted to take the song back and said some people felt the first version was better, can just air the first one. Even her husband Real Ting felt that her first version was good.

Have been in the industry for many years, is this the first time she has to record a song again? Miriam denied. She said that perhaps before she wasn't popular yet, so no one bothered to talk about it. As to getting indirect criticisms from Maria Cordero ("Fei Ma"), Miriam didn't feel unhappy about it and said catching attention from seniors means that she is a valuable artist. As an artist, you must be able to accept criticisms, but she does have her own work principles. Maria said that superstars won't get off tune? She felt that every person has different personalities and a different path in the music scene, can't be that stubborn. She joked: "I am an Asian superstar with an Asian superstar personality, sorry."
