OH MY GOD, SHE RUINS THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC SONG OF ANITA MUI. SHE CAN'T DO THAT LOW MANLY STRONG AND POWERFUL VOICE OF ANITA. PRISCILLA IS TOO FEMININE IN HER TONE AND HER VOICE IS NOT POWERFUL. SHE CAN'T DO THE VIBRATING VOICE THAT ANITA CAN. PRISCILLA IS TERRIBLE. IF YOU'RE GONNA SING AN ANITA SONG, YOU BETTER BRING IT ON.
@Aikynbreusov "OH MY GOD, SHE RUINS THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC SONG OF ANITA MUI".
Priscilla and Anita both had lyrics to this song, but Priscilla released it first and made it popular. Priscilla's version is more popular around the world, but some music critics prefer Anita's.
It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about, this song is neither Anita's or Priscilla's. It was adopted from a japanese song sung by Masahiko Kondo. Priscilla voice gives this song a more pleasant melody that you can actually feel. Which is the main reason it became a big hit. Anita's raspy voice ruined this song completely as it made it sound more manly. Which was why it never caught on with the HK audience. It was Anita failed attempt trying to regain her popularity.
@stryke822 What? Actually, both versions of the song by Anita and Priscilla were instant hits in HK. Not only that, but at the time Anita was already atop of the industry and swept the most prestigious awards with this song, beating out Priscilla and once again solidifying her status in the music world. Both songs are classics and favorites of an era, so you can't say any of the two "ruined" the song, I'd say the fact that there were two versions helped each song's success and popularity...
Not exactly, Priscilla version came out first and became a sensation overnite. Anita release her version much later in time when her popularity had already leveled off. As you mentioned Anita had already gain recognition status before Priscilla made her debut. But like any star eventually their popularity & sales levels off or drops. Anita released her version as an attempt to maintain her image & popularity.
she is back....i lost her in the 80s when she suddenly quit music t further her studies..she was such a beau with great songs..i was heartbroken and stopped doing anything for weeks...back home in KL then.........she is queen to me
I am a big fan of Priscilla, I discovered her when a friend loaned me a VCD of a concert of her in Hongkong in the 80s.
I'm from Europe and I don't understand what she sings.
I only listen to her voice and the melody. Probably more so than most of you, because I dont get distracted by the lyrics.
What I noticed in her recent songs is that she still has a great voice, I still can hear the emotion in her voice but the melody warps in and out of phase. Maybe a sound engineer can explain?
Yes, you are correct. Something is missing. For each single song of hers, compared a version from the old days to one from recent time, you will see what you called "melody warps in and out of phase".
She could not sing at that moment, as she was hugging a fan. The sound was from the music background, the vocal singers, recorded on the tape already. She is using a MMO (Music Minus One, which is karaoke without the melody) instead of the live band to sing this song. That's why you can hear the vocal background...
Sorry, Music Minus One is for musical instrument... wrong information. But, when you use a software to make an effect to remove her voice from the original file (song), you can get this effect - Karaoke without melody...
whats wrong with saying shes been out of the singing business? she has hasnt she? her voice isnt the same gentle voice like that of the early 90's video
how did this originate in Japan...just because the composer of the music is Japanese...There were plenty of songs back then when HK songs had music written by japanese composers
Anyways, what you're saying doesn't make sense. You're suggesting that the original singer was Japanese but the song's lyrics are in Chinese.
funny how you tell someone to get their facts straight about someone getting their facts straight when your facts aren't very linear =D
lol ok, back to the topic, she's the original singer of this chinese version (and I'm sure he was referring to the original chinese singer, and not the japanese version if there is one, but he screwed himself cause she's the original)
The original was written by a japanese composer, it seems you're the one who needs to get your facts straight. During the 80's-90's most chinese songs were mostly adopted from japanese songs. All you have to do is just look at the record/cd lyrics booklet and it shows the song writers name. As far as Priscilla, she is the original for the chinese version.
Was this onstage performance last year? She still has that lovely singing voice of her's. Well CCTV and China really get to know this lady. Great promotion.

She sound like she's been speaking mando for a while.
...I think she sang this song very well, just why the sharp and odd high pitch in this live performance.
or maybe she's losing that Pricilla voice, and not as much emotion.

She's a mandarine speaker, and from the sound.

Get your facts right, mate. Yes, she does speak mandarin, but she is from HK and is Cantonese. Her native tongue is Cantonese.
