Since TVB's controversy with HKRIA has not been solved yet, artists under the four record labels were left "empty-handed" at TVB's Jade Solid Gold Ceremony. EEG became the biggest winner with 19 awards. TVB's "son" Raymond Lam even won the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award. When he accepted the award, booing was heard from the audience. It is said that the record companies that didn't win as many awards were dissatisfied with the award results. Raymond admit that he was so shocked that he didn't hear the boos. TVB says he has a good foundation and alot of fans so he well deserved the award.Before the ceremony, TVB said they will give the awards as usual no matter if the singers are under the four companies. However, it is obvious that it did not happen. TVB Arts & Music manager Chen Ying Kin insisted that those singers just didn't win any awards and it has nothing to do with whether they attend or not. Is it that Eason Chan does not deserve an award? He said, "He has no award because of the scoring results! (How are the scores calculated?) It is determined by the audience and review by the assembly." There were rumors that some companies were not satisfied with the results and that the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award should be awarded to Hacken Lee. He denied it and said, "Dissatisfied? Which company? It's another rumor!"
TVB producer and director Virginia Lok expressed her complete satisfaction with the results since even Eric Tsang said everyone is happy. Many singers that have done alot but haven't been able to win any awards in the past, were able to win some at JSG this year. When asked whether the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award should have belonged to Hacken, she said, "No, I reviewed the scoring results and it is Raymond." It is said that because the four companies did not attend, EEG was able to obtain more awards? She said, "You can't say that. Even if the four companies don't exist, Joey Yung and Leo Ku should definitely have awards. I hope everyone can respect the results." When asked whether singers under the four companies are eligible to participate in the Jade Solid Gold seasonal rounds next year, she responded that she will see next year. This controversy is between two companies so it shouldn't cause the singers to feel embarassed. Alot of singers have a very good relationship with TVB privately.
Raymond Lam admitted that he was surprised to win the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award and that the absense of the four companies did somewhat affect the results. But he also insisted that he works very hard each year. When asked if he thought it was too early for him to win this award, he said he has made a good foundation for himself these past 11 years and there are also alot of fans in and out of Hong Kong. It's just that he focused on acting before and started singing recently. Is he afraid of the media saying that TVB helped him win the award? He said he hasn't thought about it. Winning the award proves that he is not only good at acting. Did he hear the boos from the audience? He expressed that he did hear sounds from his surroundings but it certainly were not boos.
Last night at the celebration banquet, TVB did not invite all of the singers to celebrate. Only Leo Ku, Miriam Yeung, Raymond Lam, and Joey Yung were invited on stage. Raymond and Joey's fans also prepared champagne for them to celebrate. Kate Tsui's fans were also gathered on the streets, but because there were too many people, the police had to give them a warning.
