Part 2
First started in 1990 and was stopped in 1997. In 2005, it was bought back and held its first annual ceremony. The female and male singers would compete to see who would be the winners by the end of the night. If memory serves me correctly, the female singers won twice out of the first seven years it was held: the first time in 1992 and the second time in 1995. However, I missed the one in 1993, so I am not sure who won that year. I was surprised when the female singers won last year with the lack of female superstars such as Faye Wong, Sammi Cheng, and Kelly Chen. Denise Ho basically led the female group to victory by performing in almost every event. Kelly was busy last year; that is why the female captain fell into the hands of Miriam Yeung and Joey Yung. TVB did not want to offend either Miriam or Joey and had them both be the captain for the female group. Last year, Andy Lau and Hacken Lee were the captains for the male group.
This past Saturday (November 4, 2006) was the second "All Singers for TVB Anniversary". The ceremony was hosted by Lui Fong and Carol Cheng. Andy and Kelly were the leaders for the male and female singers, whereas Hacken and Joey were the captains. This year, the male singers managed to win the title back.
Even with Andy and Leon Lai still present in the recent "All", it is not a match to the old "All". Back then, there were the '4 Heavenly Kings', Andy, Jacky Cheung, Leon, and Aaron Kwok, as well as the '3 Heavenly Queens', Sally Yeh, Sandy Lam, and Faye Wong all present at the event. The competitions were all about singing, and now they are all dance routines.
My favourite "All" was the one in 1994. The singing segment was split into three parts. The male and female singers were required to sing 'silly' Cantonese songs, English songs, and Mandarin songs. That was also the last "All" that the '4 Heavenly Kings' appeared on together. Plus, it was the only year that Takeshi Kaneshiro appeared on as a singer. From time to time, I still re-watch the old "All". I think the tapes will break before I would even get sick of them.
