There's nothing in part 1 that is as ridiculous as 黑盒. So that was a very easy choice for me.

I thought voting for Kay was tough because I couldn't vote for 你們的幸福 after Kontinue and album part 1. And that was easily the best album I couldn't vote for.

I am not too surprised about The Key not making top 5, as Eason's other albums (L.O.V.E., but also his EPs) all have a lot of fans. But I think it's highly deserving of a top 5 slot.

Rubberband looks strong enough for 4 albums (all but 呢度).

Before 我們與愛的距離, I would strongly considered 偽人 for top 10. But I know my taste is far from the "CM mainstream".

平衡到流行性同玩味 was also why I voted for this album. Each of his 3 Warner albums have songs that I really like, but I think 我們與愛的距離 is the best example to show that he can still do a quality (actual) mainstream song that is well written and well sung while still having room for his (sometimes less successful) risk taking. The fact that it is a well planned, 10-songs album -- i.e. not an EP, not a singles collection, was also a factor for me.

I voted for Live in the Moment for similar reasons, actually.

I think Frank has a weaker theme/cohesiveness but better songs overall.

I think they are getting all 4 in.

Predictions for top 5:

Kontinue
生於斯
Hours
Don't Text Him
LMF XX YEAR FEST (冷門之選?) ...

If I guess now, maybe Live a Life to replace Hours. Endy only have 2 albums to vote for, so no "split votes" problems for him.

Kontinue
生於斯
Hours Live a Life
Don't Text Him
LMF XX YEAR FEST

L.O.V.E.
Frank

I will now go with this as well (bye LMF!). I don't want to imagine a scenario where Joey gets 2 albums in but Eason only 1.
1. Kontinue
2. Don't Text Him
3. Live a Life
4. 生於斯
5. L.O.V.E.

Thanks everyone for creating tension I guess.

Only 14 out of 25 for my ballot. I think I am most surprised about LMF and 撫愛. Kind of shocking that CM didn't recognize how groundbreaking and necessary 撫愛 was, especially after 在錯誤的宇宙尋找愛 was #9 for songs.

But I am glad all albums I nominated have votes, even though I couldn't find room for most of them at the end.

But once again, really thankful for this whole project. I can tell that it is a huge, huge amount of work. I listened to about 95% of the songs nominated before each 初選 and around 3 cuts per albums before voting there. So I was really introduced to a lot of good music and was reminded of so many songs that I loved before. I wished CM cared more for some artists that I love (Fama, Phil), but it is what it is.

One more push for 2000 - 2009 百大選! My correlation will probably be even worse, but the whole process would be so, so much fun.

kin888

I do understand what you are saying. I think 2000-2009 is worthy for these reasons:

1. It's still part of the current century, so looking back is still interesting. I am sure there will be tons of listicles in 2025 celebrating the 21st century. And many songs in those 10 years still make an impact. And many current favorites got their start in this decade, so it's relevant to the artists as well, so to speak. Appreciating history is always a big part of sustaining culture...any noise about Cantopop is probably not a bad thing for HK music industry.

2. CM awards started in 2003, so it can be done as a celebration of the longevity of this forum. 20th or 25th is a huge milestone so that could be the angle we can use, if we don't want to do in 2025.

Basically, the success of this 百大選 helps increase CM's profile. It would be a little bit of a shame if we have to wait 10 years to do it again.

This actually surprises me as I thought people from Imagine Nation has overtaken her accounts and all those sharing and thanking for 再度 were not from her, and that they basically don't want anything to do with this album. This is actually very touching for me.
