It should be noted that, Deanie Ip's masterpiece "Star" is a duet song by James Wong Music and Lyrics, the original song is Mary Cheung "When you see the stars of heaven," but even the fans have a lot of people mistakenly think that this is an original song, the best example is the song many singers from Deanie Ip after the quartet all the "stars" as the song name. CAN SOMEBODY TRANSLATE THE SONG PLEASE??
I must admit back in 1976, I couldn't comprehend the hidden meaning behind some of the lines. As time went by, somehow I miraculously "got it". Regardless of what you think about James Wong's personal life, he's very talented. That said, his writings were sometimes controversial, cuz some people didn't understand what he was talking about.
Wat's notable about this song "Movie Star" is James Wong used very simple Chinese words in his lyric. A smart 8-year-old had no problem reading all the words. There's no need to refer a lexicon. When put together, the words painted a very beautiful picture. Credit goes to where credit is due. I credit James Wong with his high literary skill, cuz it's not easy to do. James was fully capable of writing with complicated and uncommon words. But here he did it the other way. (to be cont'd)
James Wong wrote it from the angle of a suicide note from Linda to her husband.
"When you see the stars in the sky, will you remember I used to beam on you more than the stars did? Like the twinkling stars, I've won your adoration. And like the stars' soft glow, I was a source of comfort for you...."
Linda's husband died 2 years ago, never remarried. Reportedly, he kept everything in the home he shared with Linda intact, including the bed they shared and where Linda ended her life.
When I first heard this song, I was very little. I think it was 1976. I've always wanted Anita to sing it, but I guess be careful what you wish for. The idea for the song came from a very popular Hong Kong movie star in the 1960's, Linda Ching. She's still holding the record as four times Asian Academy Award Winner. Linda committed suicide in 1964 in the prime of her life, leaving behind a young husband and a baby son. (To be cont'd)
Tis Anita co-performing the 1970's classic "movie star" with Sandy Lam. Beautiful music and lyrics courtesy the late James Wong. The directness of the last line "On a brilliantly starry night, I plead with you to reminisce me in your heart" strikes the right chord. I don't think Anita has ever performed it in the 1980's or early 90's, but she's perfect for it. Anita, you'll always be in our hearts, be it a starry night or a starless night, and you don't have to plead.
It's sad to see Anita singing with an obviously weakened and tired voice. She was like a star trying to burn out every last bit of her energy. The ultimate performer.
So sad, its like shes singing from her grave. We'll always remember you Anita. You never had the love from a man you so wanted, but you have the love from all us fans..which will never fade. R.I.P.
A touching picture with both diva here stirs the fire so naturally. They both sparkled each other and seems so indivisible. Sandy done so well also esp when her voice smelts with Anita...
Performance beyond First Class entertainment!!! Sandy Lam sure does project her feelings very well on stage and sang with a very mellow yet high voice. But Anita really brings substance and life to the whole piece.
真的哭了... Anita... we all miss u!!

可有記得當年我的臉 曾為你更比星星笑得多
當你記起當年往事 你又會如何
可會輕輕淒然嘆喟 懷念我在你心中照耀過
我像那銀河星星 讓你默默愛過
更讓那柔柔光輝 為你解痛楚
當你見到光明星星 請你想起我
當你見到星河燦爛 求你在心中記住我

when you see the stars in the sky
as if you will remember me
as if you will remember my face at that time
think of you is more than starry stars smiling
when you remember the nostalgic memory,so what will you do,
maybe mildly etching sigh
reminiscent me in your heart like once shined upon you
