Tanat - January 5, 2008 02:44 AM (GMT)
Alright, I will be going! I just received an email from Allaboutjon stating that they will let me know on ticket collection. Kinda miss the good ol Mediacorp theater liao... :P
And yes, most likely we will be seated at the lower gallery, cos that applies for most variety shows and live recordings for singing competitions like Campus Superstar, Star Search, Live The Dream and of course Singapore Idol :)
Tanat - January 5, 2008 02:49 AM (GMT)
Anyone of u who still got posters of Jon Leong which were used during Singapore Idol or at some of his past appearances may want to bring abt 2 or 3 along. :)
Eclipse - January 5, 2008 04:05 AM (GMT)
Hey Eve, let's start a "Missing Persons" thread - because people are also looking for Jonathan Leong.
Look at the second last post at the bottom of the page here:
http://forum.mediacorp.com.sg/board/showth...?threadid=47841Is his management company doing a credible job or not? I wonder. knuppel
Kellyn - January 5, 2008 09:36 AM (GMT)
It would be good if Jon could participate in a longer Chinese variety series or even acting (maybe 5 to 10 episodes) to give a stronger impact for home viewers to identify with him, and not just a one time performance on each show as that does not leave a lasting impression.
Jon must be working hard on his album right now, guess its tough on him too. We really hope to see a good album from him soon this year. For many of us, believe it would be well worth the wait! His company will definitely have to do more marketing of events & publicity during the time before the launch ... gonna be exciting!
Jonatics who have the placards and posters of Jon, thanks for bring them down so we can create a good visual impact on tv ya!
Eclipse - January 5, 2008 12:53 PM (GMT)
Agree with you Kellyn. One-off sporadic appearances are not going to leave an impact. It was not a bad idea to launch him into the Chinese market by singing that medley of drama theme songs. However, that song seems to be more commemorative to MediaCorp than meaningful to the public. And you know, people can get very tired of hearing a drama theme song as it is aired daily when the serial is running. No one really sings it again once the serial ends.
They could have written a whole new song for him for that collaboration. I believe the effect could be quite different. I hope his management company has a strong, consistent strategy for him, at the same time, not neglecting his non Chinese speaking supporters.
He has other supporters too, who are more subtle, and will not be seen chasing him for autographs.
Having him breaking into acting may not be too bad an idea. Hmmm... the "pai kia" roles? But he should really be concentrating on producing a good album. :)
eveline - January 5, 2008 05:04 PM (GMT)
I am speechless reading the link, eclipse...
Jon needs more exposure to the public rather than gigs to gigs...
let us always be united to support him as always....

Yes, agree! I think they should have a good strategy to market Jon to both the English and Chinese music industry. To go regional, they have to reach out to the Chinese market, but there is also a void in the local English music scene. Jon can fill this void; I can totally see the local English market raving about Jon and consistently playing Jon’s songs over the airwaves. What they need is to write some new songs for Jon to sing/ record. During SI judging, it is often commented that it’s the song choice; one must pick the right songs! So, please have a good strategy and get the right songs for Jon. :D
Yes, let us continue to be united to support Jon as always.....
eveline - January 6, 2008 05:00 AM (GMT)
YEAH! Agree...How I wish Jon will be into English Market too...
I bought two Qing Qian 25 CD..I dont even understand mandarin. Not at all.
but when I listened to Jon Singing the second song @ Jurong point, what's the tittle? I feel he sang so much much better that the original singer in the CD.
if there is another autograph? I think I would buy another one. Not because I love the CD, but just because my support for Jon.
so I really hope that His album is coming out soon.
all of us here, holding hand tightly to be united to support Jon no matter what happen.
new album please.....

Yup, concentrating on producing his album is definitely more important!
You are right, we can’t even sing along with him on the commemorative song as it has no continuity of lyrics or melody.
If he does have some time, acting or hosting opportunities which would give him other roles on tv to reach out to more people. Think he will definitely do well in cool dude roles … that’s just being himself!
Not forgetting, during the last President Charity show, Jon with Diya had pulled in the 3rd highest donations, thats no mean feat and proved that he has many supporters out there!
Yay, lets do more for Jon and keep the JLFC passion alive!

Agree with you Kellyn.
Non-Chinese speaking supporters need not worry. Once Jon has established himself in the Chinese market, he will easily switch back to singing in English. He first need that critical mass that the Chinese market can provide. I don't listen to Chinese pop music before but now I started cos of Jon. :lol:
Eclipse - January 6, 2008 07:53 AM (GMT)
I have dedicated his medley song on air on a couple of occasions, the dedication was read, the song was not played. How does this thing work?
Having gigs for him is necessary, Eve, but these events must be publicised.
Perhaps Jon should go create some news for himself. How about holding hands with some girl and walking down Orchard Road. Carol...? wink1
Or is there a North Asian Idol competition? The (South) Asian Idol is taken.
You notice, Singapore has always been the "Asian Idol" (be it with love or hatred) with or without a singing competition, in terms of economic growth, political governance, blah, blah... Out of point!
April - my palms outstretched, waiting for teacher's cane. :unsure:

And for an artiste, no news is bad news. Perhaps Jon should go create some news for himself. How about holding hands with some girls and walk down Orchard Road.

Yea, Eve, skin velly thick already. Last time teacher used ruler. Not pain, but still cried.
You forgot to mention guys in your post - they are around!
Teacher April busy manning first aid tent for Tuesday. She didn't see the mischief going on here, right? wink1

You are so right! sure there are many out there who are silent supporters and would not want to be seen on tv or chasing him at public areas. Being one of those, can anyone tell me how NOT to be seen on tv besides using the banner to block the face???
Am still waiting patiently for his full album and solo concert.... when can this be fulfilled??? ;)

:lol: :lol: Surely you don't want subordinates to go around whispering that they found out their boss is a star gazer, not those in the galaxies, but that in the form of a good looking young dude with a low, sexy voice.
Actually it's ok lah, bosses also need a life - so long you don't indulge in navel gazing.
Some of my chaps in the office know. Whenever they hear "Chasing Cars", they will say that is my fav song.
eveline - January 7, 2008 06:02 AM (GMT)
The song chasing car is like labelled with Jon already, everytime I listen to this song, everywhere...I feel like Jon is singing...hahaha...

NO! Jon should focus on music. Focus is very important as it determines how successful in whatever you do. Heheh, my pastor preached this in service last week. This should be applied to jon's singing career as well!
Having said that, i dun mind seeing him for guest role in dramas either. One is for publicity, the second is to see eye candy aka jon. Haha. But like i said, guest roles only. Not brunching out to acting.
Eclipse - January 7, 2008 02:43 PM (GMT)
Eve, if we ever start a "Missing Persons" thread, we should also look for Anastasia. I know she hovers around, but wish she would "talk" to us.

Of course, we meant without any doubt Jon's main focus is definitely singing and coming out with his album this year! Ideally would be if he could participate in some singing/variety series.
If he has some time now or later and is comfortable to do it, would be good also to have tv exposure to a wider audience through appearances in acting, co-hosting etc if there are suitable roles as this would help to expand his fan base. Hype needs to work hard to secure such work as he is not with MCS so not easy to get such opportunities.
Anyway, look at the Taiwan pop stars, most are doing that, like F4 and Wu Jun from Fahrenhite who acted and have gained tremendous popularity!
KaiLeng - January 8, 2008 03:11 AM (GMT)
it would be nice to see him in handling a lil of drama,varieties other than singing :)

Oh, was looking forward to your big banner which would really stand out on tv dear!
Anyway, thanks for the two new posters of Jon, the more the merrier to show our ardent support to Jon!
Lets give Jon our loudest scream tonight ya!
Eclipse - January 8, 2008 07:16 AM (GMT)
Jon Leong still comes across as someone who is very self conscious. If he should get into hosting/acting, he would have to shed some of his inhibitions. Nothing wrong with doing different kinds of things, singing, acting, etc. Many people do that.
The onus is on his management company to package him right.
Kailing - is the left radical of the last Chinese character of his name correct? I have seen a different one.
jonslover - January 8, 2008 04:02 PM (GMT)
YAHOOOO!!!!!!! $peace
JON is so so so super extremely cute...
Yeah.... The 4th photo with JON..... $crazylove
Tonight is the happiest moment for me for some reasons... Think I cant sleep tonight... smitten
Oh... by the way,, what is the first song he sang?? He sounded super good in the first song (than second song) ...
To be honest,, Till before tonight ,, I worried that he might not make a history in the music world with chinese albums..
Now i can see his capability and talent...He really worked hard.... I am sure he will make it....
Although i dont understand the meaining of thesong,, i was melted by his performance......... The song suits his voice... Love that so much...
I remember JON said during SI that he wont waste our votes...
Yes,, he didnt waste our votes and supports ...
Thanks u so much JON..
