Oh dead, I miss Jay too while I was away in Singapore. Nice to hear that he won a lot at the recent Golden Melody Awards. I heard he didn't like attending this when he started not winning the Best Male Singer if I'm not mistaken. Glad, that he won all of those categories again. Congratulations!

The Asian superstar was named the Best Mandarin Male Singer at the Golden Melody Awards
In his acceptance speech at the 22nd Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, Asian superstar Jay Chou said, "I thought I was going home empty-handed again."
The singer, who had been nominated five times for the Best Mandarin Male Singer at the event, first won the title two years ago.
On Jun 18, Jay's 10th album The Era clinched the Best Mandarin Album award and the Best Musical Arranger (Free Instructional Video) award. The superstar was also named Best Mandarin Male Singer.
The singer broke the Golden Melody Awards' curse, where in the past awards are usually won by nominees who don't turn up at the event.
Jay said that his mother had cooked him two hard-boiled eggs before the event, telling him that he would score 100% if he ate both eggs.
"The jury for the Golden Melody Awards is different each year. I love the jury this year," Jay thanked.
To his good friend and lyricist Vincent Fang, who initially planned to leave before the announcements were made, Jay said, "It's a right choice to [stay back and] support me!"
The singer then promised his fans, "I will go on to be your 'superman'!"
Did he make any eye contact with his former love Patty Hou, the emcee for the night?
"Jacky Wu's [the other host] big head blocked my view. I couldn't see clearly," the 32-year-old joked.
However, Jacky did not satirise Jay as he had expected, which was something the wacky host would do frequently.
"He's shown more restraint this year," said Jay.

JJ Lin shocked at losing “Best Male Mandarin Artiste” award
Nominated for the second time round, JJ Lin’s hopes of winning came crashing down when the award finally went to Jay Chou
Jay Chou beat JJ Lin at the 22nd Annual Golden Melody Awards to win the night's Best Male Mandarin Artiste award.
When award presenter David Tao first announced the name "Jay" - which sounded very much like JJ's initial - local singer JJ Lin thought the award was his to take home. However, the award eventually went to Jay Chou, who, also thought that the award was going to JJ.
The Taiwanese pop star became the night's biggest winner, bagging three major awards namely "Best Male Mandarin Artiste", "Best Mandarin Album" and "Best Composer" respectively.
At the after party, JJ, who looked visibly surprised when Jay's name was announced, admitted to having high hopes of winning as "David always calls me JJ in private". However, his hopes came crashing down when David finally read out the winner's full name and presented the award to Jay Chou instead.
Last year, JJ was also nominated for the same award, but failed to win.
