Elva Promotes Miss Elva Album Pre-Order
Miss Elva Media PreviewOn 6 Sep, an exclusive media preview was held for Elva’s 11th album – Ms Elva. More than 30 press media, renowned music producers and critics were invited to preview all 12 songs from the album, slated to be released on 24 Sep. “Although my record company told me that I’m the lead of the show, when I saw so many experienced musicians , I felt like I’m turning up for an exam!” Elva gasped.
At the event, the media also had the first look at the music video of Ms Elva. Elva shared her first experience of dancing for more than 30 hours for a music video, and even showed off her Elva Dance moves. “This is the album that I had contributed the most towards its production. Besides producing 3 songs, I also wrote 5of the songs! If last year’s Diamond Candy was a milestone; 10 years of hard work had ended on a sweet note. It is a new beginning now. I can view things from a more objective perspective. To me, Ms Elva is a totally new chapter in my life!” Elva said.
Elva also took the opportunity to thank Gold Typhoon’s CEO (China Division) – Joanna Huang, and her co-workers. “Thank you so much for organizing this, allowing me to be like my idol A-mei, who initiated her album preview session with the media. The same host was even hired for the event!”
Many experienced music producers commended Elva after the preview. Producer Ding Xiao Wen said “This album really allowed me to know Elva!” Lin Long Xuan, judge of Golden Melody Awards, commented “The new songs were very unique!” Others said that they have noticed improvements in Elva’s performance, and that there is a perfect combination between her voice and the music.
Hearing the comments, Elva said “This feels like a singing competition. The pressure is so high! But it makes me feel like I’m starting to become a real singer!”
蕭灑小姐 Ms Elva Album Commercial
Miss Elva is Here! Taiwanese pop diva Elva will be releasing her 11th studio album, “Ms Cool” (蕭灑小姐) on 24 Sept 2010! Her first single, Ms Cool, was produced by award-winning musician Xiao An (小安), and written by renowned lyricist Ge Da Wei (葛大為). The single was a hit since its debut on the airwaves on 1 Sept, garnering lots of discussion on various forums.
The music video for the single costs more than NT$4m and spanned over 2 days to record. Directed by Chen Yi Ren (陳奕仁), who also directed “Profession” and “I’ll Be There”, the music video required the use of a Motion Control camera to create the world’s first 720 degree video shoot!
For the music video, Elva danced more than 30 hours, but she did not express any signs of fatigue, “This song is so invigorating, like riding a roller coaster. I’m not tired at all!” Elva explained. “My record company told me that the music video will be more spectacular than a 3D movie, making me so excited!”
As the video is shot by a motion control camera, every single movement and expression will be captured, hence Elva could not afford to relax on her performance, “I had to make sure that each of my pose is right!” As a perfectionist, Elva would ask her co-workers if there is anything wrong with her dance and if so she would request to dance a second time.
To achieve the perfect shot, Elva would dance repeatedly for more than 30 hours and 500 times, and the music video was completed in a record time of 2 days!
To accentuate the coolness of Ms Cool, the director arranged for Elva to portray a heroine to showcase her “Girl Power”, with Jimmy Hung, son of wushu artiste Sammo Hung, as action director. As a long-time friend of Elva, Jimmy took the opportunity to teach her as many actions as possible.
Elva Supports the Gay Community!Elva’s latest album, Miss Elva, has started pre-order on 8 Sep, and it has already sold more than 8,000 copies in just one day in Taiwan!
There will be two different pre-order versions. One version will include a large size pictorial while the other version will include a eyeliner from M.A.C. All these gifts will cost the record company more than NT20m!
One of the places for the pictorial photoshoot was a restaurant in Taipei’s Eclat Hotel. With the exquisite decorations in the surrounding, Elva felt that her photos could become part of an art gallery catalogue!
Elva was also invited by the Taiwan Homosexual Hotline Association to become the online ambassador of the first Kao Hsiung Gay Pride Parade, and she even recorded a promotional video for the event. Elva said “I’m very touched that my songs had always been well-received amongst the gay community. I also have many gay friends who are highly professional in their work. Like everyone else, they also need the support from their friends when they are down.”
She revealed that she saw the Gay Pride Parade in Los Angeles when she was recuperating from her leg injury, and regardless of their orientation, everyone dressed stunningly. She had also penned her thoughts about her experience in Los Angeles in the song, “讓愛飛起來” (Let the Love Fly); in the lyrics, Elva wrote “Enjoy the equality in love, you are beautiful no matter what”. Through the promotional video, Elva hoped that the gay community in Taiwan would be who they are and be beautiful no matter what!
THE CONCERT!! in SingaporeElva Hsiao WOWs!Flashy and ostentatious was the order of the day.
Starting with a string of powerful dance numbers, the songstress took to the stage in a highly anticipated two-hour long concert.
Gyrating to tunes such as, 'Tomorrow', ''Spokesperson, and 'L.O.V.E', Elva made her grand entrance with much aplomb, emerging onto the stage from a giant silver diamond.
Decked out in a glitzy diamond studded white pants suit, the star displayed divalicious charm throughout her ten lavish costumes changes over the course of her show, with each outfit designed to match the concert's diamond-theme.
"With such a shiny dress I have on today, you'd still be able to see me no matter how dark it is outside," Elva said, poking fun of her "blings."
"And I shall be the moon, YOUR moon today!" she concluded.
On stage, the pop star impressed the crowd with her - literally eye-hurting -- pretty pins, showing her versatility as she cruised effortlessly back and forth from sexy to cute during her repertoire of song changes.
Perhaps apologetic for her long absence in Singapore, Elva lauded concertgoers with praises for the nation, which local fans lapped up delightfully.
"Singapore is such an awesome place, would you all welcome me if I was to immigrate here? It won't be a bad idea if I move here to be Stefanie Sun's neighbour!"
The 31-year-old, who lost her mother to cancer last year, appeared to have walked out of her heartache, telling the crowd, "Despite life's highs and lows, tonight is the highlight of it all."
