JOLIN Tsai just keeps knocking A-Mei out.

Days after Tsai beat her record label-mate to the Best Mandarin Female Singer gong at the Golden Melody Awards, she has replaced A-Mei as Taiwan’s new tourism ambassador.

She is taking over the job of selling Taiwan as a destination to the Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong markets, says Taiwan’s Apple Daily.

She will take home NT$8mil (RM826,000) a year, the same rate that A-Mei got for a threeyear deal that will expire at the end of this year.

宝贝们~

Best Mandarin Female Singer - Jolin
Most Popular Female Artist - Jolin

Thousands of screaming fans braved the rain last night to catch a glimpse of their favorite music stars walking down the red carpet for the 18th annual Golden Melody Award held at the Taipei Arena.
Taiwan's Jolin Tsai opened the show with an elaborate and "flaming" performance of the hit song from her album "Diva." Variety show queen Momoko Tao and former news anchor turned entertainer Patty Hou teamed up this year to host the event.

One of the most anticipated moments in the event was to see how Hou and Tsai would interact on stage. Hou and Tsai are rumored to be former "love rivals" because they both dated Taiwan's R&B prince Jay Chou. It is believed that Chou cheated on Tsai in order to be with Hou.

While it is indisputable that Tsai is one of the most phenomenal dancers and that her songs are not half bad, her fashion taste, however, has at times seemed somewhat questionable. Last night, Tsai appeared to be shrink-wrapped in what could only be described as purple plastic that accentuated her reportedly surgically enhanced breasts, and cinched her waist to a circumference that made the proportions of her body similar to that of a Barbie doll.

The star that Tank admires is Taiwanese pop princess Jolin Tsai, whom he describes as a “very nice girl” and “a good, hardworking singer”. Since he admires her , has it ever crossed his mind to date Tsai?

“She is like a goddess, a superstar to me – the most I can hope for is to be friends with her! I met her once, but I just froze and was too shy to do anything,” Tank said with a laugh.

The Golden Melody Awards, to be hosted by Matilda Tao and Patty Hou, will give out 22 pop music trophies in Taipei on Saturday. Fans can catch the live telecast on Asia Plus (StarHub Ch 49) from 5.30pm.

The key nominees are:

Best Mandarin Male Singer: David Tao, JJ Lin, Nicky Lee, Gary Cao, Kenji Wu

Best Mandarin Female Singer: Sandy Lam, A-mei, Jolin Tsai, Penny Tai, Angela Chang, Jyotsna Peng

Best Mandarin Album: Dancing Diva (Jolin Tsai), My Life Will... (Deserts Chang), Little Universe (sodagreen), All I want (Jyotsna Peng), Wake Up (MC HotDog), Blue in love (Hao-en)

Amazing!
