Raymond Lam Wins Most Popular Male Singer at JSG Music Awards

TVB’s JSG Music Awards concluded last night with an anticlimactic finish. With its winners determined by popular voting, the audience was left with no surprises when the biggest winners of the night were announced to be Joey Yung (容祖兒) and Raymond Lam (林峯)s. Joey also won an additional four gold song awards, as well as the Golden Song Gold Award, the biggest award of the night.

Over 27 awards were handed out on January 19, the day of the awards ceremony. All the winners were based on popular voting conducted through a new voting system designed by the Public Opinion Program hosted by the University of Hong Kong. Votes were collected through TVB fun, TVB’s mobile app.

The Most Popular Female Singer award went to Joey Yung, who snatched 58,815 votes from 131,049 voters. The Most Popular Male Singer award went to Raymond Lam, who won 36,412 of 122,412 votes, defeating competitor Alfred Hui (許廷鏗).

    1. Who else was there to give the male award to?………..Raymond was probably one of the only few male artist there that could carry a bit of a tune………the rest are garbage.

      He kind of won the award by default……..no big deal.

      1. I have doubt with Alfred hui, wander he is so popular?this guy were caught in scandal last year for kissing his bf in public park.he is officially gay

  1. TVB JSG Golden Awards is dead long time ago, wouldn’t be surprise if they cancel it in the upcoming years… it lacks singer always the same winner every year the EEG artist team… sad to see the dominating award show from the 80 and 90’s turned into something ridiculous. As usual some awards are legit some are not.

    1. The year that Chok won best song, I already gave up on JSG awards.

    2. I agree….and for TVB to roll out the popular vote thing on JSG this year as if to make it more credible or something is utterly ridiculous. To me, that’s TVB’s way of deflecting criticism of the show — hey, if people complain about the results, they can always say that’s the way audiences voted and so it reflects public opinion, when we all know that’s not truly the case. Honestly, the voting thing is stupid when it’s not an even playing field , since more than half of the entire HK music industry was not even allowed to compete.

      Definitely glad I gave up on JSG more than a decade ago!

      1. Totally agree!!! Removing the competition and giving voters limited choices is like “putting blinders on a horse”.

      2. Even Eason is joining,do you think he has enough fans to win raymond? With his **** look and arrogant attitude, dun dream that he can win it. So its ok joey and raymond to won it. Unless its alfred hui then different which is still a newbie.

        Dont always compare with the past. In the past there is no smartphone or even digital camera. The environment can pretty much affect the life of people. So no point comparing it. The industry is never die. The life of current century is definitely better than the life of 80s and 90s.

      3. The aftermath of winning JSG award will entitle those artists to obtain global status in chinese speaking communities in Asia,Europe & North America where they will be able kick start world tour,signing for hk or china production movie, become ambassador for multi-national products ,appearance fees for international shows or open-ceremonies. e.g : Andy hui ,Sally yeh,Alex To are desperate to return

    3. Haha. TVB is the most successful tv station in Hong Kong. So they can do whatever they want. Loser like you and the rest who butthurting also useless. If you dislike can just close the tv and not watching it. Only singers will cry in JSG award but not any other music award. No matter how the industry has become, still JSG solid gold the best.

      1. If compare to award ceremony like metrohit,Rthk & chik chak ,jsg award are really entertaining with high budget stage decoration, brilliant mc,suspense result.the flow of the show are magnificant

    4. duh, RTHK got cancelled also not JSG that having successful tvv station as backup.
      Then rthk not boring having pork chop eason receiving the same award every year?

      1. Eason wins because he deserves it. Before JSG became the laughing stock it was now, Eason used to win every award here too. If Raymond has any talent, you would see him winning awards in the three other awards shows too, not just on his home turf. Chok, Hahahhahahaha!

      2. HeShouWu,
        Um, You do recognize that it was TANG CHI WAI who composed the song “Chok” right? Tang Chi Wai who also wrote many numerous songs for TVB right?

        Tang Chi Wai’s reponse to HK viewers:
        ” CHOK was a Gold Song? “I know when Raymond got the award, I was also like: ‘Huh? It’s really him?’ But in fact, he did win the votes. He really did win. Without the Big 4 singers, what songs are left? Raymond got the Asia-Pacific Male Singer award, you all wondered if that’s a mistake, but you should watch clearly when he goes to China for functions, there are thousands and thousands of people surrounding him. He really is popular. One year many people were talking about karaoke songs. Ah Fung (Raymond) launched a few fast and trendy dance songs, like Chok. Aiya, but then you all go and criticized that Chok is a song? Sometimes I feel the people of HK are quite contradictory.”

      3. @HeShouWu: You may miss something but FYI, except from Chik Chak where his songs are rarely plugged (not being plugged, how can be voted by DJs?), he received awards from Metro and RTHK in years.

  2. I never cared for these awards anyway.

    but I gotta say….the OnCall II theme song 續集 is pretty catchy, I got addicted to it for a little while.

  3. raymond better choose a new hairstylist,he looks like uncle bean on this picture.

    1. I have same thought as you. I think he tries to make him new look, but he is still so cute.

      1. @Larry 3: Sorry about my late reply.

        That’s why I used the adv of “still’. I meant Raymond was still attractive all audience in his stage performance, gesture, facial expression in all his social, confident communication,ect.

  4. utterly disappointed this year….haven’t been satisfied in the past few years, but this year…why did they give out 20 awards and take out the other awards? the awards kept going to the same people, i felt sorry for anyone that wasn’t sitting in the first row! they weren’t even acknowledged and i know many of them have their good songs too. ugh, so stupid. i don’t have expectations anymore for JSG, but i do hope that next year when any singer from any record label can attend, that the awards will be more evenly distributed.

    1. They could have kept the older awards as a “second” place for fair even game… but no, TVB screws the music industry even more.

    2. Well, the way I see it…unless TVB lifts all those restrictions in their singers’ contracts (which probably will never happen given how TVB operates), this is probably the way JSG will be for years to come, since the other record companies don’t show signs of budging on that piece. Such a shame at what JSG has become, especially considering its rich history in the 80s and 90s. Sad….

      1. Dont be like those ignorant who only knows how to compare with the 80s and 90s.Those era had nothing. If you wanna succeed, then better either be a singer or actor. But now era has changed. You dont need to be singer or actor to be a millionaire as long as u have the brain enough. And also the emergence of internet. So many people might not choosing actor or singer as their career. But last time you can observe so many talented singer world wide. Even those oldies english songs are nicer to hear.Somemore the cantanose singers just from the hong kong 7 million citizens.So dont be ignorant to compare with the 80s or 90s. Even LF also dont put much time on singing nowadays and more on acting because era has changed. Too many other ways to earn money and be successful. 80s 90s jobs like system analyst, computer engineering course, not even existed! Grow up ur brain and move on!

      2. Raymond, There were computer programmers and system analysts in the 80s and 90s. You sound like a young one that has no perspective of history. The 80s/90s were the golden age of Cantopop for a reason. These awards were once fought over bitterly by real singers. Now it is just given out to any singer/actor that has a contract with TVB. You said times has changed? How has it changed? People stopped appreciating good music and want actors to be voted as best singers?

      3. @heshouwu You sound like an uncle who very ignorant. You compare with 80s and 90s that has no internet access? That time you kid ignorant wanna online also cant. And the fact the world has advanced compare with the 80s and 90s who had nothing yet. Now not everyone will choose to be a singer or actor. I am not talking about tvb whether they can come and compete anot Mr.ignorant. And its too stupid to compare back with 80s 90s but i wont blame uncle like you.

    3. Jsg had invited the record company to attend but those stupid record company refused

  5. Well done Hubert! Fantastic song- such a shame you didn’t come first!

  6. I am so happy for Hubert, Alfred, J. Arie and Joyce! (: Well-deserved wins. And according to the Chinese wikipedia, it’s ranked according to the most votes. Hence it means that Alfred’ songs were voted above Raymond’s songs (:

  7. Why is Joey Yung have always win Most Popular Female? This is her 9th awards. Is she really that special? Anyway I don’t care about her because I don’t listen her music & she’s not my idol.

    1. Joey Yung probably won for her dedication to sing even when she was ill and had a hoarse voice. But because she didn’t want her fans to ‘waste’ their money, she went on and performed even though she wasn’t fitted for that day. I was also told that she held consecutive concerts as well. By doing so, she won recognition from the hk industry and fans were grateful. Plus, with her singing THC 2 song probably helped as well.

      But this type of scenario is rare. There are some singers out there who will cancel on the day of the concert, said that they would reschedule but end up canceling the whole thing when their fans purchased their tickets..

      http://asianuniverse.net/forums/Joey_Yung_Insists_The_Show_Must_Go_On_Despite_Losing_Her_V_t378959.html

    2. Its the votes. There are lots of Joey fans…. and there is NO CHANCE for other people to get the award, maybe Ivana but thats it. I wish Joey could stop accepting this award and give the award to someone ELSE for chance, like Anita did back in the day.

      1. Joey can give up that award and let others have a chance, but I don’t think that sounds too fair cause seriously,no other female singer out there in HK can compare to Joey. I do like a lot of other female singers, but each of them are only good for 1 thing while Joey is an all round singer. Other than looks and a beautiful sounding voice and being able to compose, she can sing well (with technique), she can dance, she is capable of handling all types of songs, she sings with feeling, she can sing and dance at the same time… She truly is a great performer, music wise. If Anita was still alive, I bet many people would complain about the new most popular female singer winners cause they just can’t compare.

      2. Look at the award list for JSG. Basically no competition! Of course you can’t compare.

        Yes, Joey is the best…. She just past her prime time, long time ago.

        Another year, same singer again. Boooo TVB.

      3. But it’s not just in TVB that Joey is winning. It’s in all the other award ceremonies too.

      4. I agree with YanYanKong. This year’s awards were voted by FANS. I just think that if Joey hosted 10+ concerts during this year and the fact that she sang a popular TVB theme song that was well-received, her chance of winning “most popular female singer” would be very HIGH.

      5. The selection was SO LIMITED this year, Joey could win by a mile ahead of second place singers regardless of concerts, song plays, commercials, etc.

    3. 2 reasons really:

      1.) Joey has no other contenders. She has built a strong base the past ten years and no other female sing has come close. Well, Miriam hung in there for a while, but she got married.

      2.)She is in the right company. EEG, for better or worse, has maintained good contacts with TVB, so while Eason is absent, Joey continues to rake in the awards.

      1. Agree with what you said. EEG is a great company for promoting artists. Also Miriam is kinda close to Joey I guess except she doesn’t really sing fast songs and can’t dance like Joey.

  8. What’s up with Raymond’s hair? Just added 20 years to him and looks like a wig

    1. I think he was trying to get a hairstyle that looked younger, but he forgot that he doesn’t have a young look anymore, so the 2 don’t go together.

    2. Yes, this hairstyle was the worst that I’ve seen of him. In recent months, his bangs came back. He must have thought of to look younger with bangs, to look better with his little gf? Or maybe it’s his BB’s idea?

    3. Maybe LF is trying to hide his ugly forehead, which Little Karena wrote “Uncle” all over? haha 🙂

      1. Maybe, just maybe Ray is trying to reduce his hotness and only unleash his hotness to one person worthy of it all; his BB.

    4. maybe raymond want to try looking younger,but it backfired and made him look older instead because his face isn’t young.

      1. This hair type may be for his new TVB character as an undercover.

      1. Yes, you’re right. This is the hairdo for filming the new tvb drama “Apostle Walker”. Hmm… doesn’t look like a triad member to me, rather it looks like the retarded “Ah Wong” acted by Roger Kwok years ago.

      2. LOL an “Ah Wong” just beat up someone with a wound in his hand and is hold by a pretty woman LOL.

      3. I am imaging about his new role based on these pictures. A gangster always threat others to raise him as a big brother so that he cannot pay attention to his outfit, then he just tries to cut his hair by himself with a scissor, or he does not take a bath for long time, … LOL
        I am so excited to enjoy his new character because of his step-by-step changing kind of role

  9. What’s the point of watching when the same people win every single year?

  10. Of course it’s these two…it’s always these two. Don’t get me wrong—I very much enjoy their music and individual talent. But I’m getting tired of the Hong Kong media repeatedly promoting these two artists. Stars like Alfred Hui deserve to win at one point. They’re talented, too. Where’s their spotlight?

    P.S. Raymond could lose the bangs as well. A bowl cut doesn’t really suit a 30-year-old.

  11. lame awards! and is raymond wearing a wig? he does look like an old man trying to look younger by wearing an awkward wig! he looks weird!

    1. yes…LF…we will trust you! He is now filming the new drama with Sheh…looking forward to his new TVB drama :0

      1. oh…about his new hair look, this is his image at the new drama…anyway…i love every look of him! he is handsome, chok, confident, and cutie anyway!!!

  12. What a shame…..

    Treasure the olds days where you could catch the Heavenly Kings and Queens in the awards!!!

    Nowadays it is like sxxt, worse than the Taiwan, China awards..

    You just find kids trying to sing, what a shame to HK Music Industry where it is so doominant in the 80s, 90s decade!!

    1. Sure there is UPs and Downs. As i already said, era has changed. Even Manchester United can become a noob team now. 80s 90s if you wanna be famous and rich in a fast way, then become actor or singer but now not necessary anymore! Maybe superb nice voice singer just decided to become a doctor. And somemore just 7 million population of hong kong.

  13. Verytime raymond lam and joey yung
    Always gets a JSG award he is thinks
    That he is the most popular male singer I just think these awards are just rubbish seriously they both on getting it everytime when they announce the winner could tvb just give to the other sings like most improved female Artist and male artists

    1. This is Raymond Lam’s second year of getting it.

      Next year, competition will be fierce because there’s Fred Cheng, Alfred Hui, Hubert Wu (all these wonderful singers) to have a chance in getting it (:

      1. Nope, I think the one who has the biggest chance next year is Hins Cheung who signed with EEG.

      2. That too.
        But it depends on which songs they sing and who tvb wants to promote. :/

      3. I think is a great idea about what u said I agree
        Ohhh okkkkkkkk thanks for telling everyone but
        Can’t wait for fred cheng to attend the competition
        &the other great singers as well

      4. Alfred Hui for the promotion :). He is promoting to be Txb’s Sing Mung first Bro.

    1. Agreed, LF couldn’t even sing the song after being award. He kept messing up and apologizing. Alfred Hui can definitely sing better “live”. Joey Yung is really good also.

      1. U idiot .jsg award are not singing competition it’s popularity award
