閃耀熱舞潮人館
Bernice Liu, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Vivien Yeo, Yoyo Chen, Janet Chow, Grace Wong, Samantha Ko, Sire Ma, Kayi Cheung, Christine Kuo, Michael Tse, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Patrick Tang, Stephen Huynh, Benjamin Yuen, Jack Hui, Joey Law, Timmy Hung, Lai Lok Yi, and Carlo Ng

hyn5: Bernice was awesome! I love watching her dance! :) I found Fala's dance moves very weird. Plus, she sings very 'breathy'. Also, she didn't sing 得 at 17:33 (part 1)...lazy sounds! Vivien Yeo can't dance! She looks so bad when she tries. Grace was also awesome! She had a better solo, too, compared to the other ones in her group.

Nancy was very good considering she only rehearsed for not more than two days...Perfect Marks Dancing Queen! :) Michael and Bosco danced to "War of the Genders"! Bosco's dancing reminds me of William Chan, and it is not in a good way either! Ron was wearing a pair of yellow pants! He he.... I like how Timmy was lip-syncing to Matthew Ko's voice at 21:36 (part 1). In previous clips, Matthew did rehearse for this event, but somehow he ended up in the drum one.

功夫女將打出火

Michelle Yim, Susanna Kwan, Angela Tong, Sharon Chan, Sharon Luk, Sarah Song, Macy Chan, Leanne Li, Sherry Chen, Skye Chan, Joyce Cheng, Natalie Tong, Oceane Zhu, and Charmaine Li

hyn5: I think Michelle and Susanna did a great job at the spears, especially since Michelle only rehearsed for one day, and a few hours rehearsing with Susanna. Susanna has never done this in the past before, but she looked like a professional at spinning the spear! Her kicks can use improvement, but she was spinning the spear way faster than Michelle. :D Angela also surprised me! When she did "Strictly Come Dancing II" last year, she did not know how to do the splits. Not only did she do the splits this time, but she also did two cartwheels, a jump kick, and round kicks...very impressive! :)

驚喜合唱Crossover

Steven Ma, Kenneth Ma, Charmaine Sheh, Kevin Cheng, Shek Sau, Patrick Dunn, Kiki Sheung, Chan Hung Lit, Linda Chung, Shirley Yeung, Aimee Chan, Susan Tse, Ching Ho Wai, Suet Nei, and Lee Heung Kam

My Girl
Stupid Cupid & I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

hyn5: My favourite part of this year's anniversary at 4:40 (part 2). I am very happy to see Steven with Charmaine! Glad TVB did not put their rumoured couples on the stage this time. :) Steven and Ma Ming were very into character! They were moving with the music and very into playing their instruments although they were only pretending to play. :D I'm trying not to be biased, but Kevin Cheng was off beat, and he didn't seem as enthusiastic compared to Steven and Ma Ming! Too bad Joe Ma wasn't in this because it would have been awesome to see big, medium, and small Ma together! Plus, Joe sang "My Girl" in "Vigilante Force". :) It is not surprising that Shek Sau, Kiki, and Patrick were good because they are basically professionals! Shek Sau used to be a singer, and we know that Kiki can sing! :) I was so not expecting Chan Hung Lit's singing voice to be like that...very entertaining! Linda sounds way better singing English songs! :) The '70s is very suitable for Shirley! She danced better than Linda and Aimee. For some reason, Aimee was not clear singing her part. The three 'oldies' were super funny! I've never seen the cutie side of Ching Ho Wai before...even Amigo said that she was cuter than Shirley! Ha ha.... :D Sammy Leung was calling for an encore! Hilarious!

"I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company!" Lee Heung Kam did mention that she only knows 24 of the 26 letters of the alphabet. She must have practiced for a long time for these two lines. Good job! :D

FYI: "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) originated from the Coca-Cola commercial jingle "Buy the World a Coke" in the '70s.

扮嘢至尊福祿壽

Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen, and Johnson Lee

hyn5: Cho Lam, Louis, and Johnson were not as good this year compared to the last two year's performance, especially their singing imitations! They were better at imitating the judges' voice, especially Louis as Mark Lui! "Happy birthday to you!" Making fun of Mark plagiarizing songs...super funny! Ha ha.... I really did not like Johnson's imitation of Chow Chung...he didn't even sing! I don't know why he was arranged to go last.

巾幗群雄鼓上飛

Jack Wu, Ben Wong, Vin Choi, Joel Chan, Tsui Wing, Dexter Yeung, Raymond Chiu, Jim Tang, Oscar Leung, Jason Chan, Charles Szeto, Matthew Ko, Evergreen Mak, Raymond Cho, Ngo Ka Nin, Wayne Lai, Moses Chan, Derek Kwok, Stephen Wong, and Sheren Tang

hyn5: The guys were very in sync with the drumming...very powerful! I really like how Moses and Wayne jumped sideways. Moses looked very cute! He he.... I wonder why Stephen Wong was placed so high and played right alongside Wayne, Moses, and Derek? He probably knows how to drum. :) Sheren did a good job drumming; however, I couldn't help but laugh when she was shouting. He he.... :D

臥虎藏龍唱家班

Ngo Ka Nin, Grace Wong, Steven Ma, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Skye Chan, Lorretta Chow, Sheren Tang, and Wayne Lai

來夜方長

花與琴的流星

千個太陽

只有情永在

hyn5: I know Ka Nin can sing! He sang "Next Year Today" at Tung Wah 2002. He and Grace sang very sweetly. :) I really don't like Fala's expression when she sings. She can't hit the end note, so she stretches the last character, but that just 'stretches' her facial features...a not-so-pleasant face.

超級巨B

Wu Fung, Christine Ng, Angela Tong, Eric Tsang, Sammy Leung, Chin Ka Lok, Moses Chan, Timmy Hung, Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen, Bosco Wong, Sonija Kwok, Koni Lui, Samantha Ko, Susanna Kwan, and Lee Heung Kam

hyn5: This skit was horrible! I believe this is the worst skit in TVB's history! Luckily, Myolie wasn't in here. She was supposed to play the girl in the TV with Bosco. She somehow pulled out and was replaced with Sonija. Sonija got 'milked' for no reason.

Overall, I really enjoyed this year's TVB anniversary! :)

FYI: The gala averaged 37 points, and peaked at 39 points.
