On the evening of July 2, the 33rd Golden Melody Awards Ceremony was held at the Kaohsiung Arena. Congratulations to our " rock veteran" Cui Jian , who won the best Chinese male singer for the first time at the age of 60 with his album " Flying Dog ". Tanya was crowned queen four times with "DEPART" and won the awards for Best Chinese Album, Album of the Year, and Best Vocal Recording Album, making them the biggest winners of this year's Golden Melody Awards.

As the most fair and authoritative award ceremony in the Chinese music scene , Cui Jian also showed great importance to the Golden Melody Award. Although he was not present, he still wrote a special speech.

He said: "I have indeed won some awards, but I have never written an acceptance speech, or even prepared it. If you have the opportunity to see or hear this manuscript. One thing is for sure - it is indeed I wrote it! If music is like a journey, there are many stops along the way. I believe some people can tell that the album "Flying Dog" has had many different destinations. But it was all temporary. Now I finally understand: it has never been a terminal! The Golden Melody Award is a transit station with a long history, exquisite decoration, and a bit of warmth. It clearly tells me the direction of the next stop. Said: A new era is waiting for you, are you ready to get off? All your past experiences and your doubts will become a new ticket that can lead to a more prosperous life. A music train that challenges and questions the world. "

Although Cui Jian has been in the industry for 38 years, this is the first time in his career that he has been nominated for an award. Congratulations Cui Jian! Veterans will never die!

Tanya Tanya has always been called the daughter of the Golden Melody Awards. Her 2005 "Amphibian", 2007 "Goodbye Hello", and 2011 " Talk about Love " all won her the Golden Melody Award. In the Best Female Singer Award, she has now scored four times with "DEPART", surpassing all female singers in the Chinese music industry.

However, Tanya Tanya is full of controversy. As a female singer-songwriter, she has been accused of plagiarism and has been ridiculed by netizens as a "master of Chinese language".

After his album "I Want to Give the World the Longest Wet Kiss" was released in 2018, some netizens discovered that "Halfway" was suspected of plagiarizing Taylor Swift 's "Safe Sound". In addition, some netizens have sorted out the parts of Tanya Tanya's previous songs that are suspected of plagiarism, such as " red high heels " and " increasingly doesn't understand ", which are suspected of plagiarism from The Weepies's songs. The important thing is that The Weepies himself also stamped her plagiarism, which is embarrassing.

Tanya Tsai defended at the time: "When creating each song, it is the inspiration of that moment that comes together in one go. Is this one like this one? That one? Believe me, I, a middle-aged old woman, really can't read all the songs in the world. Compare!"

When talking about netizens accusing her of plagiarism by reprinting "Red High Heels" written by Tanya Chua more than ten years ago, Tanya Chua also responded: "At that time, I often listened to The Weepies. But when I was writing the song, I really didn’t think that I was going to plagiarize it! Instead, I wrote it spontaneously, and I didn’t think that I would be accused. But what should I do if it got to that point? The songs were also released. I still love these songs and I am responsible for the 'storm' caused by them. I also contacted The Weepies to explain the situation at that time and that they did not do it intentionally or maliciously, so they also understood. I am at least responsible for the creator! Don’t be angry anymore. If it still makes you uncomfortable, please don’t listen to it! That’s the most important thing about “DEPART” this time. Taking the past two years of the epidemic as inspiration, I expressed my desire for freedom through "running away". Singers competing with them include Zhan Wenting , Yuan Yawei , etc. In fact, every award is well-deserved. Why Tanya Tanya?

Chairman of the Golden Melody Awards Jury Chairman Adi Zai said that Tanya Tanya won with more than half of the votes in the first round of voting. "Tanya Tanya's return to her roots this time made the jury decide to choose her as the best female singer."

Worth mentioning Yes, there were two big surprises at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony.

One is the 42-year-old singer Elva Hsiao who made a surprise appearance as an award guest and announced that he is about to return! This is the first time she has said she is coming back. As a fan, Mr. Zhou really hopes that she can focus on her career and stop dating.

Another one is Big S’s husband Gu Junye appeared on the same stage as little S. He greeted in broken Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am bald, she is my sister-in-law, she is my idol, You are my friends” brought the first climax to the award ceremony.
