Man City : From EPL Pretenders To Title Contenders ?

20 August 2007

So , u have watched the exciting Manchester Derby last night where City walked away with all 3 points and sent the reigning League Champions to their first defeat of this Season . EPL football fans , especially United fans in particular must still be reeling in shock and disbelief at how United could lose to their bitter rivals in a match which they were the more dominiant side , creating and coming close on numerous occasions but just couldn't score .


Lady Luck certainly played a big part last night and made all the difference in the fortunes of the two Manchester sides . While United was dominating and creating good scoring opportunities for themselves , however hard they tried , they just couldn't find the target . Tervez , Giggs , Nani all tried but failed to score , whereas , City found the net in the first half (31st minute ) in their first shot on target and second shots on goal to score the only goal of the game which was enough for them to take all 3 vital points off their bitter rivals .


This win is even more special for City and their fans considering that they are now leading the table after 3 rounds of EPL games played with Chelsea second . City are playing a brand of confident and beautiful football so far and with the League still a long way to go , it will be interesting to see that come May , will it be the blue half of Manchester that will be smiling at the top .


With 3 wins out of three so far , this team certainly looks promising and has a bright future ahead of them .
Even Schemichael , the son of former United legendary keeper Peter , was outstanding in goal last night as he stopped several vital shots to preserve their team's lead . This team under Sven is threatening to take EPL by storm and sending out a strong message that they are not a team to be underestimated with and are determined to be a serious title contender this Season .


Sitting pretty at the top now , their next test will come on Saturday when they play yet another EPL giant - Arsenal . Can they pull off yet another vital victory over the EPL Top 4 ? After last night's victory over United , City players' confidence and morale must be on a real high now and they and their fans believe that they can . The blue half of Manchester simply can't wait for the match to begin to find out .

8TV Summer LIVE Concert 2007 Special Feature - Vincy Chan


























11 August 2007


Still remember her ? U find her very familiar but can't seem to recall where u saw her ? Well , viewers who have watched and followed the first Season of Channel U Project Superstar surely will find her very familiar indeed ! She was one of the female contestants who has successfully made it to the Top 24 of the compeition competing with the likes of Ruth , Candyce Toh , Chanel , Silver Ang , Kelly Poon etc , u remember ?


Since she left Singapore after taking part in PSS 1 in 2005 , news and latest updates of her has been few and far between ... Bits and pieces here and there ... We hear that she has been doing very well in Hong Kong ... Wonder how has she been since then ?


Good news for Jia Xin , or rather Vincy 's ( as she is now known ) Fans here in Singapore as u will be able to see and hear her sing on TV again ! She has been invited to Malaysia and will appear among one of the many performing stars lined up in tonight's 8TV Summer LIVE Concert 2007 !


Flashback ...

Back then in 2005 , she was known as Chen Jia Xin 陈家欣 when she took part in Channel U Project Superstar competition and one of her best performances in the compeition then was when she sang Jolin's Tsai song of 'hui zhe ci pang de nu hai ' , but unfortunately she didn't made it really far and was eliminated from the competition . After her failure in the inguarial singing compeition in Singapore , she went back to Hongkong where she saw her singing career soaring to new heights and became a household name there despite not winning the PSS competition ...


She decided to start her singing career anew by first adopting a new name ' Vincy ' as she is now known . She then took part in a singing competition in Hongkong and finished runners-up winning the ' Most Popular Image Award ' in 2005 in the ' New Talent Singing competition organised by Emperor Entertainment Group - the recording company which she is now currently signed for .

Her singing career took to new heights when she released her first Album ' My Feelings ' on 27 July 2006 and she became a familiar household name in the Hong Kong public . Her latest Album ' Flowers Without Snow ' was released in February earlier this year .


*Catch Vincy perform LIVE on 8TV Summer LIVE Concert 2007 Tonight from 8.30pm on 8TV !

More About 8TV Summer LIVE Concert 2007 Performing Guest - The Cross !









8 August 2007


Before u get to see them perform LIVE on your television screens this Saturday as one of the guest performers of the Summer LIVE Concert 2007 , let's us find out more about this popular Korean pop group that is taking Asia by storm ...


The genius duo, that’s what they’re known as. To most of the Malaysian public in 2005, they were unknown musicians that rocked the night at the Korea Stars Asean Tour showcase in KL . Made up of vocalist Kim Kyung Hyun and musician/composer Lee Si Ha, The CROSS made sure the crowd left with nothing but their names in mind. With powerful 4 and a half -octave vocals from Kyung Hyun and amazing skills on the guitar by Si Ha .


The CROSS went full force to win the crowd’s heart with lively banter and crowd interaction , not to mention head-banging music!


Two years later, they are BACK with more punch! Debuting in May 2003, The CROSS may not be your typical idol boy band, but they’ve proven they’ve got the talents. Si Ha has won the New Composers Award while Kyung Hyun has been known for his vocal abilities even before debuting with The CROSS.


Their debut single Don’t Cry is still on the Korean charts and remains a KTV favorite choice. Currently recording their 3rd album due for release in June 2007, it will showcase the blending of rock with Korean traditional musical instruments. A harmony between Rock & Classical music, this album will also include an orchestral piece with Si Ha on the piano. Tickets have been sold out for concert tours in Korea from June – August .With that in mind, they are making their way down here for a promotional tour and summer camp to save the marine turtles in August!



The CROSS promotional tour and “Save the Marine Turtles with The CROSS” summer camp is brought to you by Kpop Kingdom together with animal and environmental benefit program 'Animal Harmony ' under Kpop Kingdom. Head over to this exclusive summer getaway to the beaches of Tioman in aid of marine turtle conservation. Funds raised from the camp will be donated to charity in aims of saving our marine turtles.
