Also pronounced as Gary Chaw. Admittedly, he looks like ah beng or ah pek at 1st glance but his songs are so nice – at least the duets are! From 1 of his videos, it seems he’s quite humble and loves his fans very much – he’s always pictured standing near to them, his head is slanting towards the other person or maybe he just want to feel a sense of closeness/belonging with them.
1.Superman
4/5 You have to see the video to enjoy and laugh at the silliness. Funky. Fun. Different.
2.兩隻戀人 – Liang Zhi Lian Ren- Two lovers
4/5 Sweet and innocent. The chorus has a bit of kid song “ding dong bell” or “liang je lau fu” (2 little tigers) or something like that.
3. GirlFriend
2/5 If you like slow R&B then it’s ok. At the end, “I wanna be your superman.”
4. 背叛 – Bei Pan- Betrayal
2/5 4/5 Sad. I changed my mind after listening to this song several times (around 4 times) after this review (listened 3 times). It gets better – sadder with more listening frequency.
5. 妳是我的寶貝 – Ni Shi Wo De Bao Bei- You are my baby
2/5 Smooth. He’s asking the girl “Let’s get together, good?”
6. 3_7_20_1
3/5 A bit of jazz. Lively.
7. 保護你 – Bao Hu Ni- Protect you
2/5 Slow. Not memorable.
8. 愛到底 – Ai Dao Di- Love til the end
2/5 Like Superman’s style but less catchy.
9. 我的甜蜜蜜 – Wo De Tian Mi Mi- My sweetie
2/5 A hint of jazz/blues. “Kan kuo lai”? That sounds like Richie Ren and funny guy Ah Niu’s song in Redang island with Sammi Cheng.
10. 天使忌妒的生活 – Tian Shi Ji Du De Sheng Huo- The life that angels envy
1/5 zzz although the range is wide here from low to high.
I think his duets are more famous than the songs in this album.
