Practice makes you success, Miriam Yeung Chin Wah

In the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation 2015, Miriam Yeung Chin Wah got the best female singer. When she accepted this award, she was very happy and it could tell by her body language. Also, we can know by her speech that she is a person who always makes plans and sticks with it very well. 

“I’m a person who likes to make plans. Since I was a nurse, my motto is “Prevention Is Better than Cure” and it can be put in any situations.” Miriam said.

People always commented that the music industry in Hong Kong is nearly dead. When being asked about whether Hong Kong music industry had missed the best timing for a change, Miriam thought that there is still hope and she is willing to help improving the field that gave her success for the past two decades.

“Music fans are impatient nowadays, therefore, new singers are facing a harder situation than we did. As a precursor, I have the obligation to help them. Hence, I will go to their concert to support them if I have the time and I enjoy doing so.”

Nowadays, people always complain that the songs released from new singers are not good. Miriam had started her career since 20 years ago and her experience can be considered as a good reflection to those new singers. “In the past, the music fans in Hong Kong are more patient. When I was a new singer, my new songs were not very popular and they said I was not able to be a singer. After that, I found a teacher to teach me how to sing and did more practices on my music. Hence, I got hit-songs and endorsements.”

It is true that the new generation of fans are being more impatient and they will not wait for record labels to release music slowly. In Hong Kong, time is priceless. If new singers release some good songs and they receive good response, their label will arrange small concerts to show that their fame are rising. However, are all new singers ready for concerts? People always grouse about new singer’s unstable live performance. “Both music fans and singers need to be patient. If someone said my performance is not up to a level, I will sing and practice more in order to get endorsement. There is no doubt that the songs nowadays are more difficult. However, I believe that singers can sing well if they are willing to practice more.” Miriam said it seriously.

A TV show had discussed that the Hong Kong music industry and they found that the threshold of holding a concert in Hong Kong Coliseum is lower than before. Hong Kong Coliseum is a dream for all Hong Kong singers and it is a recognition for a popular singer. In the past, singers open concert in Hong Kong Coliseum for many days. However, new singer only opens for one day nowadays. So, does it prove that singers are less popular than before? “We could not say that it is not good for new singers to open concert early. It is because it can help them to gain more attention from public and it is a good way for companies to upgrade their singers. However, it also raises a problem that people will question about the quality of the concerts.”

Miriam Yeung is a diva in Hong Kong and her experience in Hong Kong music industry can denote that the way to success is nothing more than hard work. Also, as a singer, they should feel thankful that there are people to help with their careers. “When I was a new singer, I think I’m hardy. But now, I think I’m blessed. Hence, I feel very pleased and I cherish every album I make whether it is going to be successful or not.”
