Wahaha. I finally caught Jon's latest Mandarin song on the FM93.3 today at abt 5pm!

Have any of you guys heard it yet? It''s a specially recorded medley of songs from our local Chinese dramas from the last 25 years. Brings you down memory lane!

If you havent heard it, stay tuned to FM93.3. It only plays there! :)

Hey, you can make a song dedication for this on the station if you wanna hear it played more often. In that way, more people will get to hear it too! The title of the song is ÇéÇ£25 and in case you dunno yet, Jon's chinese name is Á»Î°¿ó.

wow.. havent heard the song yet..
must stick to 933 now :D

thanks..

will try to stay tune :)

Which drama theme song did he sing? I do not tune into 933. Pity.

Well, if you're someone perpetually on the comp, you can try the streaming internet radio for FM93.3. They display the song title and artiste that's being aired at the moment. Very often, they also show the next song or 2 that's gonna be played, so that you can pre-empt what's coming up. The internet radio usually lags behind the live radio by a couple of minutes.

A couple of you already said you cannot understand a single mandarin word to know what's going on on radio. Think the song will be out in some album end of this month. The coverage for this song should hopefully be higher then :P

If you're not paying attention, you'd actually miss it! Cos to me, it kindda doesnt sound like the Jon we're used to listening to. Haha.

Eclipse, it was a medley of songs from some of the most popular singapore chinese drama serials from the last 25 yrs.

Thanks for the news april.... But it was too late the time i get ur sms.... :(

I always listen radio but not 933 .... Anyway, from today onwards, i will always tune into 933....

April, Can u please spell the name of the song in English?? I want to request the song....


Oh by the way, i am really sorry that i cant join u all at Jon's performances... I really miss u all and miss JON so much....

I will also check the forum....


Thanks and loves,

Nandar

Hey Nandar,

Great to see you here.

The song is QING QIAN 25 by Liang Wei Kuang. Yes, yes, pls do request for it on radio. Would be nice if the public hears it more often!

Jon will be appearing at Suntec this coming weekend. Check out the other thread for more details! Hope you can join :)

havent catch the song yet too..
must bring along my hp ear piece regularly now.. haha
thanks for the news April!

haha. finally get to hear the song on air yesterday during mid night near 1am

sounded real nice :)

Got to hear the song after several misses - a commendable effort indeed. It must have been really challenging to sing to a medley of different tunes. Although the kopi-O flavor could have been stronger, JonLeong belongs to the generation of coffee latte, which makes him 10 years too young to have gone through the bitter-sweet experience of that generation.

Eclipse, dunno if you went to the HD5 event, but the live singing was way more emotionally engaging than the recorded one. Think in the time between the recording and the performances, he managed to inject something 'more' into the medley.

Jon sang this song live for the first time at the HD event at Suntec Convention Center... for both Sat and Sun I believe. Most of the songs in the medley I cant figure out... though I must say that its a very big accomplishment for Jon to be chosen to sing this song among the other local singers.

Is it because he is also 25? No matter, it is still a big compliment.

:lol: Clever guess...

Save my comments till I hear it. First let me try to tune in...93.3FM?

Thanks to Eclipse angel I finally get to listen to the song :P

Gosh, I thought I would never say this... but Jon sounded
really good in this Mandarin medley :D

Now I look forward to him singing even in Mandarin B)

I am not the angel, but the angel's delivery service. :)

haha. i am not sure how many i can guess correctly. but yea..

In introducing the new compilation of drama theme songs, I have been hearing DJs at 933 saying something like " һĻĻ¾«Õ¿µÄÑݼ¼£¬Ò»Ê×Ê×ÊìϤµÄÐýÂÉ£¬hype records Óëд«Ã½Í¨¹ý933³ÏÒâÍƼöÓÉмÓÆÂżÏñÑǾüjonathan leong, ÁºÎ°¿ó³õ´ÎÌäÉù£¬ÎÂÜ°¼ÍÄÇéÇ£25". Looks like he is getting quite a bit of publicity for his first Chinese single. Btw, they air it frequently throughout the day since 2 days ago :)

Pity, I don't tune into the Chinese airwaves, but glad that he is given so much publicity - only his track is singled out for replay. Is this a collaboration between Hype and Ch 8? Does it mean to say his singing contract is signed with Hype? Wondering aloud. :unsure:

erm.. i'm wondering too :)

haha. anything la.. so long as he got a recording contract :)

What a pleasant surprise! I was at Popular Tampines when I saw the CD plus, a large cardboard cut-out of Jonathan Leong! Go take a look.

And also, the CD is no. 2 on the charts. Just after Jay Chou, no less.

Also wondering whether Jon will appear in the coming Star Awards show :unsure:

I hope he gets more exposure...TV is a great help.
Aiyoh hope Hype is doing something... rolleyes:

Hope he will be in star awards. Then i can go to the event! Haha.

I wanna go too!! But dunno if we can get tickets for the 25th anniversary show in first place...
I took a pic of Jon's kissable lips wif my camera phone, as seen at a 7-eleven store just next to Bishan Junction 8 a few weeks ago :P



It was taken from this picture...

Hey, had mentioned about helping Qing qian 25 climb the charts etc. on the thread about the bookfest event. But thought that discussion is more appropriate here, so here is the info again!

Wanna help Jon gain more air time for his new Mandarin single? Do help to request for it more often on FM93.3 so that more people can hear it!

Also, let's help Qing Qian 25 climb the Pick of The Pops (Long Hu Bang) charts on FM93.3. You can do it in the following ways:

1) voting slips from I-weekly (40%)
2) SMS POTP933<space>Qing Qian 25 to 72346 (30 cents each) (30%)
3) Phone vote @ 1900 912 0933 (20 cents each) (20%)
4) Visual radio (10%)

FM93.3 enforces a one vote per person per week policy. Not sure how they keep track. All we need is just one vote per person per week! Of course will be great if you can get the people around you to pitch in. Elle has helped us check that they tally the weekly votes each Thurs at 12 noon.

Apparently the weightage of votes from the I-weekly voting slips are the most significant, but not all of us will buy that mag just to vote. Sms will do fine! We'll be getting hold of some voting slips, so will let you guys know when we have it, so that you can get hold of it if you want.

Think that at the fledgling stage of Jon's career, let's do what we can to get him started. So don't forget to support by 1) requesting for his song and 2) voting for his song on the popularity charts!

You can get more info on how to request for songs and vote for songs at:

Ok people it's time to vote again! wink1 it's been awhile...

Hey all, tune in to to FM93.3 this Tuesday 11 Dec 9.30pm to 10pm to hear Jon live on the airwaves. Pass the news around!

Anyone wanna share what went on at the interview? Didn't manage to catch it cos had something on then :(

I tuned in about 5 minutes after 9.30pm, the program has already started. I heard snippets of the whole show as I was distracted by the telly.

JL sounded very good on air. His Mandarin has improved so much that DJ Jia Fa was impressed he understood the meaning of "tiao ti" ÌôÌÞ. No more the ang moh accent. He talked about his experience in recording his first Mandarin single, the affinity he felt with some of the songs. DJ Jia Fa said before they disclosed who the singer of Qing Qian 25 was, those who heard the song thought it was the voice of Eason Chan.

At one stage, DJ Jia Fa teased him about his good looks, low voice, small eyes that melt many a lady's heart. As usual he responded modestly to these compliments. He mentioned that 'Mr. Lim" thought he sounded better singing in Mandarin than in English. He spends most of his time in the office, polishing up on his guitar strumming skills (he bought a new guitar some 4 months back), and learning how to write his own songs.

When asked what he will be doing for Christmas, he said he will be spending time with his family. DJ Jia Fa called him a "mummy's boy" in which he vehemently denied. He said he is actually very "man", likes sports and adventures.

Oh, he found a "lost" dog some days back, and went door to door in the vicinity where he found the dog, to try to find its owner. He managed, after a day's search, and nope, nobody knew who he was. That lucky dog spent a night at his home.

I think that is the gist of the whole show. Of course, his song was aired, and he chose another sung by Rui En (whom he respectfully referred to as "wo jia shi jie" ÎÒ¼Òʦ½ã) to end the show. His wish is to release his album in 2008 in which DJ Jia Fa added that that is his new year wish for him as well.

Forgot, he admitted to not yet having a GF

He reminded listeners that he will be perfoming at the Bookfest @ Singapore event at Suntec Convention Hall 401-404 on 22/12 (Sat). He will be singing a few songs, so pelase do go and support him if you can.

haha.. i saw it at CWp too :)

even took pics of it..hehheh.

anyway :)

i wanna go for bookfest :)

Thankies Eclipse for the summary. :) I eventually did manage to hear it. hehe.

I did a recording on my computer, but can't play it back. His Mandarin is really quite good. If he does not sing, he can be a DJ. :D

I didn't manage to catch the interview.
Thanks for the summary Eclipse.
Well, a Chinese album in 2008 will be nice! :D
