Joey Yung was the hot pick for "Most Popular Female Singer" and now that she lost out Netizens went crazy. Erica Yuen openly stated that the results were unfair, as she questions the acceptability of the awards. Joey generously said: "Even so I will still continue to work hard, won't affect my hard work." Demostrating the style of a Big General.

"2008 Jade Solid Gold Awards Ceremony" came to an end, there has been rumors going around that because Miriam Yeung signed to be Mr. Hong Kong's host, JSG presented the "Most Popular Female Singer" to her, tampering Joey Yung's 6 wins in a row dream and only got "Asia-Pacific's Most Popular Female Singer". Thousands of Joey fans exploded as they all emailed the newspapers and exploded online: "JSG is really an unfair Award Ceremony", "This year, Joey's hard work definitely deserves to win". Even Erica Yuen did not like the results, she exposed on her blog: "Miriam Yeung Most Popular Female Singer of 2008? Oh my God, Sorry Joey Yung!"

Denise Ho Afraid good friend (Joey) is disappointed

As to Miriam's improbable win, Joey calmly said: "Don't say that, this is a happy thing, don't use this topic. I always see Miriam, I already see that I have put out a lot of hard work and the awards have already been revealed. I will continue to work, it will not affect me continuing to be hard working. (Is the results reasonable?) Actually don't mention if its reasonable or not, having an award is a honor, I am willing to accept any type of award."

As for Charlene Choi, towards her rival Miriam Yeung's award being questioned, she said: "Each channel has their own mechanism, can't use not reasonable to speak of it, Miriam is a hard working singer, her success is pretty good, I am also happy for her. As for Joey, in the past few years she went beyond Hong Kong and even toured the United States and Canada." As for Joey's good friend Denise Ho only said: "I also was afraid that she might be disappointed, but I saw that she was okay."

EEG's CEO Ng Yue also felt pity for Joey, said: "Disappointed and surprised. In these 5 years, Joey had always won fairly. In 2008, it is the year in which she had the most confidence. Which female singer was able to hold 16 concerts in a year? Even Chik Chak gave the Gold Award to Joey, Joey definitely deserves "Most Popular Female Singer Award", I also told Joey not to be discouraged, we all feel pity for her. In many people's hearts, she is the "Most Popular Female Singer", the justice is in people's hearts."

JSG's Producer Recognized Results were Improbable

Mani Fok also strongly supports Joey: "I respect the results, but disappointment is definitely present. Since Joey's many years of debut, her 2008's success is the best. 16 concerts breaks all self records, including her tour in Canada, that makes 20. This is her 10th year since debut, she had always put in a lot of effort, hard work, time and spirits."

JSG Producer (Poon Yue Gai) who was soaked in alcohol accepted an interview during the celebration, asked if he felt the results were fair? He said a bit drunk: "Fair, Improbable. (Improbable?) Its deserved, Joey as the Asia-Pacific winner is a good one. (Joey even felt ashamed of it?) Her standards are just high, I think she's pretty ok, her mandarin songs are sang very well."
