Jackie Chan, the Hong Kong actor, director, producer on Stage With A-mei
Taiwan’s Madonna pop singer A-Mei known to English fans as Sherry and Tear Princess has been practicing Yoga and Pilates in anticipation of her upcoming solo concerts later this December in Hong Kong.
The concert was extended from two nights to three nights since all tickets for Dec. 22 and 23 were sold out shortly after the sales opened. The concert on Dec. 24, which is also Christmas Eve, will be a bonus. “I feel extremely encouraged,” A-mei was quoted as saying upon hearing the news.In 2000 she was banned from performing in China after singing the Taiwan national anthem for Taiwan’s president Chen Shui-bian inauguration.
She has been constantly titled diva in the Mandarin pop music scene, as well as the “Pride of Taiwan”. Since then,she has captured numerous music awards and became one of the biggest music sensations within the pop music pantheon of the Chinese-speaking world. Not only is she a talented singer but she is also a song writer and speaks several languages including Taiwanese, Mandarin, Japanese, and English.
Her favorite singers include Pilates enthusiasts Sting and Janet Jackson, whom she listens to in her free time when she’s not practicing Tae Kwon-Do or playing golf.
