Finally, she's back
Hope your connection works well soon, I know Chinese sites are SUPER slow atm and I haven't been able to contact my HK friends
Reason why I say it's corny...I meant the losers in the back with dreadlocks. by all means, this song got me hooked on Elva besides her great hair.
Elva is one of those artists that you can listen from Track 1 to end. Mix it up, and she makes you feel warm all over. Peep that collection of her MVs, she's got so much soul. Even tho I dun understand a fuckin word shame on me XD

Following the success of 3-Faced last year, Taiwan pop diva Elva Hsiao is to release her 10th album Diamond Candy in October 2009 and launch her world tour at the Taipei Arena on December 31st. The new album features the title track Diamond Candy, a sweet R&B tune composed by Wayne Hector, who has supplied songs for world-famous artists like Westlife and Britney Spears. Elva herself has penned the words for two tracks, namely "Confessions" and "Thrilling Legend", the latter a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. Other lyricists include Daryl Yao, Chen Zhen Chuan, Ge Da Wei, and Golden Horse-winning songwriter Matthew Yen (for Cape No. 7's theme song).
Shining Love 闪闪惹人爱 World Premiere
Caught the 30s preview of "Shining Love" and can't wait for more?
Tune in to hitoradio from 21/09 to 23/09 for the world premiere of "Shining Love", the first single from Elva's 10th studio album, Diamond Candy!
Online radio website: http://hichannel.hinet.net/player/radio/index.jsp?radio_id=222 (http://hichannel.hinet.net/player/radio/index.jsp?radio_id=222)
As for her next album, she revealed that she had specially written a song for her idol, Michael Jackson, and incorporated many of his greatest hits in the lyrics. She said that she had so much inspiration when she first heard the demo that she requested to write the lyrics.
After watching many of Michael's past interviews and performances, she managed to complete the song. "Don't you think he is so handsome, like a prince?" she said
Although Elva had just fallen out of love, she still has hopes for another relationship. She believes love is the best nourishment for a woman, so she would continue to find her love. But currently work is her top priority and she wished her fans her songs would bring love to her fans. "I really admire Jolin becasue she can focus completely on her work. I need to balance work with love and personal life."
Elva turned up for the 99th episode of Taiwan’s top rated variety show “Diamond Club” to promote her upcoming album, “Diamond Candy” ; she also give to everyone at the show lollipops which were specially imprinted with her name.
Pre-order for Elva’s 10th studio album, Diamond Candy, has officially begun on 25 September! To promote her latest album , Elva was at Taiwan’s Civic Boulevard to officiate the unveiling of the “Diamond Landmark”, which starts the countdown to her album release on 9 October.
She was also concerned for her fans, who had spent the night over at the event area, “I’m sorry to kept all of them waiting overnight, and I would like to thank my co-workers for working through the night to set up the landmark. I’m very happy and I hope this landmark would appear in everyone’s photos!”
(http://img16.imagevenue.com/loc516/th_02279_DC-event2_122_516lo.jpg) (http://img16.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=02279_DC-event2_122_516lo.jpg)(http://img24.imagevenue.com/loc185/th_02281_DC-event3_122_185lo.JPG) (http://img24.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=02281_DC-event3_122_185lo.JPG)(http://img209.imagevenue.com/loc35/th_02283_DC-event1_122_35lo.jpg) (http://img209.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=02283_DC-event1_122_35lo.jpg)(http://img254.imagevenue.com/loc438/th_02285_DC-event4_122_438lo.jpg) (http://img254.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=02285_DC-event4_122_438lo.jpg)
Under the guidance of a fengshui master, Elva’s record company, Gold Typhoon, specially chose to unveil the landmark at 1810hrs at Taipei’s Breeze Centre, counting down 1288888 seconds to the release of “Diamond Candy”. As the number 8 is an auspicious number in the Chinese culture, Gold Typhoon hoped that it will bring great fortune to Elva.
Gold Typhoon reportedly forked out NT$1m to book the event area and to construct the landmark. Measuring 4 metres high, the giant diamond landmark symbolizes the return of the shiniest and most fashionable Elva. A convertible was also specially rented to chauffeur Elva to the event. “I felt like I was in Europe taking a spin! Because the lyrics of my 1st single “Shining Love” wrote about having a convertible is like having a top-class date, my record company found a limited edition convertible to make me fall in “Shining Love”!
Diamond Candy Pre-Order Sales Passed 20,000

Elva’s 10th studio album, Diamond Candy, will be released on 9 October, and pre-order sales have passed 20,000 copies!
Holding her first pre-order autograph yesterday at Taipei’s Ximending, her record company, Gold Typhoon specially ordered a golden candy that costs NT$20,000 to celebrate the occasion. Also, a lollipop with Elva’s dog, Gemini’s picture printed on it was given to her, “The pastry chef drew such a cute picture of Gemini, I couldn’t bear to eat it!”
Clad in her shiny promotion outfit, Elva performed her latest single, “Shining Love”, with her six dancers. She said that the dance is easy to pick up, and Gold Typhoon believed that it will be a dance that everyone will start to learn, just like the dance moves of “Sorry Sorry”, the hit single from Korea pop group Super Junior.
The host also highlighted that her name was capitalized for this album, to symbolize that she had grown from a “young” pop diva to huge pop sensation in Asia.
On the topic of candies, Elva said, “I don’t like guys who stick to me like bubble gum, I like guys who give me some breathing space! Next time when I get married I would treat everyone wedding candies, but for now I hope everybody would find their love ones after eating the “shining love” candies!”

I'm so happy to hold my first autograph session
I am really happy!!!
You would not believe that I had insomnia the night before
because I was worried it would rain and the turnout
But seeing so many of you
Makes me feel so touched :)
I've heard all of your cheers!
Do you like my performance?
My dear shining babies~
Let's keep it up!
Love ya~~~ xoxo
Elva’s 10th studio album, Diamond Candy, will be released on 9 October and photoshoot for the album began on Tuesday (29/9/09). The shoot was completed within eight hours, with Elva taking photos that revolve around the theme of the songs from her album.
For the photos of her first single, “Shining Love”, Elva stitched her dress with 188 shining badges, which were part of her album’s pre-order gift. The dress is so shiny it almost blinded the photographer. “Previously, 11 photographers were blinded by the spotlights for the shoot of “Shining Love” music video, now this photographer is blinded by me?” she joked.
The specially made dress gave Elva much confidence during the photoshoot, “It feels like I’m in a club or filming the music video. It feels so posh and I can’t wait to dance! My co-workers even used the shining badges to create the letter “G” on Gemini’s shirt, but I changed the design to a lightning sign. Because Gemini is not only my boyfriend today, he is also the shiniest boy!” However the lights took a toll on Gemini small frame, as he trembled non-stop in the arms of Elva.
“I hope that my fans would wear the shining diamond badges to support me at the meet-the-fans sessions.”
Since pre-order for “Diamond Candy” started on 25 September, sales have reached more than 300,000 in Asia, and Elva has confirmed three new commercials, which will be announced in the near future!
Elva Hsiao’s 10th album, Diamond Candy, is finally released today! A press conference was held in Taipei yesterday to celebrate the release of the album.
(http://img188.imagevenue.com/loc91/th_00822_1_122_91lo.jpg) (http://img188.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00822_1_122_91lo.jpg)(http://img196.imagevenue.com/loc174/th_00828_4_122_174lo.jpg) (http://img196.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00828_4_122_174lo.jpg)(http://img25.imagevenue.com/loc244/th_00835_5_122_244lo.jpg) (http://img25.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00835_5_122_244lo.jpg)
Elva made a grand entrance at the event, descending onto the stage via an automated moving platform. “It feels like performing in a concert, but my one on 31 December will be much more exciting and special!” said Elva.
Joanna Huang, who is Gold Typhoon China division’s chief executive, presented Elva a diamond tiara that was worth NT1m, “Sales of Diamond Candy has been promising, and I hope that Elva would sparkle like a diamond in the Asian music scene after wearing this tiara!”
Elva’s benefactor, Yao Qian, made a surprise appearance at the press conference. Wearing the T-shirt from her 2000 concert, Elva was moved to tears, “The day before I asked my co-worker if there’s any special guest, they told I was good enough!” she laughed, while wiping tears off her face.
After the release of Diamond Candy, Elva will be preparing for her concert, which will be held on New Year’s Eve at the Taipei Arena. “The concert is named ‘2010 Hennessy Music - WOW World Tour’ because I hope that everyone would be wowed when they first see the poster for the concert.” Elva explained. For the poster, Elva posed near naked behind a large diamond, symbolizing her status as a sparkling diamond.
The marketing and sales manager of Hennessy V.S.O.P. also gave Elva a wine bottle made of 168 Swarovski crystals, hoping that Elva’s concert would be sold out!
Yeah! finally~ Diamond Candy is finally released!
For yesterday's press conference,
I was feeling nervous since I woke up
Dou miao said I must be over-excited.
She told me not to be so nervous ~haha, I think she's more nervous than me :P
As I descended onto the stage, the butterflies in my stomach were gone :)
Until I unexpectedly saw my benefactor Yao Qian
That was when I could not control my tears anymore
Words could not describe how I felt at that time
Especially when I saw him wearing the "Red Rose" concert T-shirt
OMG!! All the memories!
I vividly remembered my first concert in the rain
So many more things, I just can't finish writing here.
Thanks and much more thanks.
Thanks to those who had helped me along the way
Thanks to my co-workers, Gold Typhoon colleagues, the media (Please no more gossip!! Hahaha )
Of course most importantly thanks to my fans who had supported me all these times!!
You are not just my fans,
but also my family, forever.
I told myself: I will work harder!!
It was a spectacular past 10 years,
For the next 10 years I will continue to shine~ to make you guys proud!
I love you all!!! xoxo
PS: Ticket sales has begun for my WOW Concert World Tour first stop in Taipei

Since the release of Elva's 10th album, Diamond Candy, sales has reached 58,888 copies in Taiwan. Elva fans were given marshmallows at the album's autograph session yesterday to celebrate in appreciation of their support.
Wearing a pink off-shoulder dress, Elva was extremely pleased with the album sales and thanked her fans for their support.
As best pal of Taiwanese actress Yang Jing Hua, Elva was happy that she was nominated for Best Actress in the Golden Bell Awards, the Taiwan's equivalent of the Emmy Awards, "We are not just sisters, we are like husband and wife. Our laughter are becoming similar too!"
(http://img43.imagevenue.com/loc493/th_13061_5_122_493lo.jpg) (http://img43.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=13061_5_122_493lo.jpg)
When asked who would be the one wearing the pants, Elva joked "Jing Hua is taller, of course she would be the one... I certainly hope that she would win."
Elva’s 10th album, Diamond Candy, and her 2010 WOW Concert World Tour have delivered exceptional results, which is attributed partly to her creative contributions. “I want everyone to experience the feeling of being surrounded by confetti and ribbons,” she revealed. Previously, she said that there would be a 5cm thick layer of snow on stage, so that the audience can experience counting down at New York’s Times Square.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3747/1eeee.jpg)
At the promotional photo shoot for her concert tour, her co-workers ecstatically threw ribbons all over the studio, almost hitting Elva with a huge roll of ribbons, “Could you all contain your excitement till the concert?” she screamed.
The 2010 WOW Concert World Tour costs NT$80m to produce, with special effects created from 800 ribbon launchers. “Usually only 8 to 16 ribbon launchers were used during concerts, but to drown my fans in the countdown mood, we have ordered every ribbon launchers available in Taiwan. And for this 1 minute effect, it costs NT$3m!” Elva explained. She further revealed that there would be a close interaction with those seated on the 3rd level, “I assure you that we will be only 1 metre apart!”

Diamond Candy Tops 12 Music Charts
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5805/elvawow1.jpg)
In just 26 days since its release, Elva’s 10th album, Diamond Candy, has taken the top spot in 12 music charts in Taiwan! Right after she has ended her album promotion in China, Elva returned to Taiwan for an appreciation crab dinner (as the crab symbolizes thanksgiving in Chinese): “I love eating hairy crabs, so I asked the restaurant to prepare Steam Crabmeat Glutinous Rice for everyone, hoping everyone would rise to the top just like me!” says the chart-topping diva.
At the event, Elva also revealed the album cover for the re-packaged version of Diamond Candy, due out on 6 November. “Besides having the dance song of the year, ‘WOW’, with Show Luo, the album also includes remixes of my past hits. The dress that I wore for my cover is designed by renowned Hong Kong designer Thomas Chan. He is very thoughtful, knowing that I would be shy wearing the revealing “diamond dress”, he made a pink translucent jacket to cover myself!” laughs Elva.
Elva Brings Sight, Smell & Taste to the Arena
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00099.jpg)
Elva’s “2010 Heinnessy Music E!VA WOW World Tour” will kick start on New Year’s Eve, and Elva has announced previously that she will give her fans an experience of “Sight, Smell and Taste”, which makes many fans guessing what she could come up with. “When I’m performing ‘Red Rose’, rose petals will descend from the top of the Arena, and fans will be able to smell Chanel’s ‘CHANCE’ perfume at the same time. I’m really grateful for Chanel’s sponsor!” says Elva.
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00100.jpg)
The ‘Smell’ experience will be the most difficult to execute, as Elva and her team had cracked their brains for almost a month to think of a way to fill the whole Arena with perfume within a minute! Fortunately, after they had met the executives from Chanel and told them their ideas, the executives immediately agreed to sponsor the perfumes!
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00101.jpg)
This will be Elva’s second collaboration with Chanel. Previously in 2004, she was invited by ELLE magazine to fly to Paris for the Chanel fashion show, and photos of the event were published in her best hits album, ‘Beautiful Episode’. After 5 years, Elva is very excited about the concert and the collaboration with the fashion label. “I would like to thank Chanel for their support. Their ‘CHANCE’ perfume is not only one of the most popular scent amongst teenagers, it’s also one of my personal favourite!”
Elva further elaborates on the theme for her concert: “’Sight’ means giving my fans a great performance and wearing my tailor-made outfits. And after confirming Jing Hua as my special guest, we exchanged text messages constantly to discuss what kind of spectacular performance we can do. As for the red rose petals, I hope to give my fans a romantic feeling, so I have prepared to sing hit ballads like ‘I Loved You So Much’ and ‘The Most Familiar Stranger’.

Good job! Dancers and teachers!
To prepare for the WOW concert on New Year’s Eve.
We’ve began rehearsing since October.
This time, we have invited LUMA to re-choreograph my past dances.
LUMA has this natural rhythm in her, not only is she great in choreography,
she is also very particular about every move.
Even a small move of a shoulder has to be practised over and over again.
After the rehearsal, I have developed iron legs, shoulders and neck~~
Paying attention to LUMA

All I can say is that the dances for the concert are spectacular, even I’m shocked. Haha.

A goodbye hug - I will practise hard!
Besides the stunning dances,
There will be many surprises, like the white snowflakes,
Which turns the Arena into New York’s Times Square.
And we have bought all the ribbons shooters in Taiwan.
Because I want all of you to be surrounded by ribbons and confetti
and be drown in the mood of the New Year.
Aiya, I can’t reveal much. It’s a surprise afterall.
Trust me it will be WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Let’s countdown to 2010 together!! xoxo
Elva Shows Off Her Sexyback
(http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/8220/28187229.jpg)
Elva is willing to go all for her concert! For someone who does not like to show off her body, she requested for a change of clothes in the middle of the stag. She will remove her jacket for a more androgynous look which showed off her beautiful back, and perform Justin Timberlake’s “Sexyback”.
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6580/86792025.jpg)
“It’ no big deal!” declares Elva. She would also be changing during her dances at various parts of the stage. As for whether she has any protection, she laughed “Don’t worry, we got it all covered.”
Elva is a Homely Person
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8682/1aaj.jpg)
The countdown to Elva’s WOW concert has begun, besides working out, practicing her dances and running, Elva does not leave the house at all! Her manager said that Elva could run ten runds without much effort now, so she has very good stamina now.
Besides keeping a diet, she also promised her manager to stayout of love for the time being. “I want to be in love when the clock strikes 12! And I would introduce my new boyfriend to everyone,” she jokes.
Her manager revealed that Elva does not like to go clubbing. Instead she loves to stay at home to surf the net and update her blog. Sometimes she would be so coped up she forgets her meals!
Elva & Her Golden Glove
(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/3752/1aaax.jpg)
As a fashionista, Elva wished she could give her fans a visual treat from her outfit, so she asked her good friend Wawa to make create her accessories. After more than ten weeks of designing and handiwork, a bling bling golden hand glove was finally created.
(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4236/2aaaa.jpg)
“Wow, it’s even more beautiful than I expected,” screams Elva when she first saw the glove. “I have always love Wawa’s design, so when we first started to brainstorm the outfits for my concert I immediately requested for her help. I told her I would have a lot of hand movement and I need the shining effect, so we came up with a golden glove idea.”
Wawa said:“I love Elva’s style, and I waned to add some accessories on her. So I was working towards a more edgy yet nostalgic look. We had a great time working together. The golden glove was reported worth NT30,000.
Elva Messes Around with Huang Jing Lun
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1165/22157634.jpg)
Huang Jing Lun’s sophomore album, “OK Man”, will be released soon. As a bachelor, Huang Jing Lun had always wanted to be a “OK Man”, so that he will not be flustered when he meets his dream girl. Therefore, his record company, Warner Music, arranged for him to pass four tests as set by Elva, F.I.R., Huang Xiao Hu and Show Luo.
The first test was set by Elva, who wanted Jing Lun to learn the dance steps from her “WOW” music video. This was a challenge for Jing Lun, who had problem with hand and leg co-ordination.
“Immediately after work I stayed at home to watch the music video for more than 30 times and practiced the moves myself. I even dreamt of Show Luo!”says Jing Lun.
Rehearsing for the first time, Elva burst into laughter, “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have laughed. It’s so unprofessional.”

“It’s okay, no female artiste has never laughed when they worked with me,”joked the Singaporean singer.
Elva said that she was shocked by Jing Lun’s expression and he had a presence of a Lion King, “Especially when I sat on the stage and he slowly moved towards me, his eyes were so passionate and his dance moves were great!”
“I spent three days practicing, imagining myself to be Show Luo. But I know I can very different from Show, at least I have my own style!” replied Jing Lun, who surely knows his limits.
“At least you are funnier than Show!” encouraged Elva.
Elva Shortens Her lifespan for Her Mum's Health
Bad news struck as Elva prepares for her “2010 Hennessy E!VA WOW Concert”, coming up in one week’s time. Her mum’s has been diagnosed with cervical cancer few months ago and her condition has recently worsened.
Elva has been taking time off from her concert rehearsals to rush to the intensive care unit to visit her mum. To pray for her mum’s health, Elva went to the temple and asked the gods for her lifespan to be shortened by 10 years in return for her mum’s recovery. She had to kowtow for 800m and only received the consent from the deities at the fifth round.
To take care of her mum, Elva has not slept for almost two days and nights. As her mum’s wish is to see Elva perform in the Taipei Arena, the concert production crew specially arranged for a live telecast to the ward for her to see Elva’s performance.
Blog: Please Pray for My Mum
My mum isn't feeling well these days.
Thanks everyone for your concern
I will buck up.
Right now I wish everyone can pool their prayers
for my mum's health.
Thank you everyone.
Blog: Competition
Life’s like a race and God is testing us all the time.
Athletes have to sprint towards the finishing line with all their strength when they hear the siren; I have to deliver the best performance at the sound of the beat, doing what we are suppose to do, ain’t it?
When I was younger I would say: “I can do anything if I like.”
But now I would contemplate in many levels.
Not everything is possible just because I like it!!
Whenever I meet an obstacle, I tell myself not to be afraid.
Overcoming a hurdle is like maturing to the next level, and I enjoy that happiness.
Nothing can stop me!!
Because I know at the finishing line, you guys will be waiting for me!!
I'm as strong as the female warrior

Elva WOWs Her Fans in Countdown Concert
Last night (31/12/2009), Elva brought the Taipei Arena down with her “2010 Hennessy Music E!VA WOW Concert”, delivering a solid three-hour performance to all her fans while ushering the new year.
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00284.jpg)
Elva opened the concert with a bang, arriving in a huge diamond ship, clad in a shining silver and white costume. The concert officially begins when her diamond mask gets ripped off by her dancers, sending the crowd into eardrum-breaking screams.
The shining diva next grooved to the dance music of “Shining Love”, “Spokesperson”, “L.o.V.e.” and “Sexyback”, before taking the stage together with special guest, A-mei, who sang her hit song “Victoria’s Secret” and “Come Here If You Dare” with Elva.
Ballads were a definite part of Elva’s concert, with songs like “I Love You So Much”, “Impulsive” and “I’ll Cry With You”, moving Elva and the 10,000 fans to tears as they swayed their lightsticks with the music.

As the countdown to the new year approaches, Elva spoke with tears in welling in her eyes: “It will be 2010 soon, and my Taipei concert is coming to an end. I have finished most of my performance, and I hope that everyone who had chosen to countdown with me was not disappointed, and could feel my effort that I have put in!... After so many years, I have sang many great songs, performed on many stages; but it must be hard for you to imagine that tonight means so much to me. I was quite unlucky these past years, and I thought maybe it was God’s way of telling me to give up. Then I realized that because I have so many things, God wants me to go through some challenges and tears, so that I would never forget to work hard and never forget some things are worth working hard for. Most importantly, I have learnt to cherish things. It was a tough journey for me to come to this stage again and perform for everyone. I will cherish this feeling, this moment that you guys are with me and the stage that you have given me! Thank you all! I love you!”

Elva's Mum Passes Away at Age 53
After a tough fight with cervical cancer last year, Elva's mum loses the battle on 1 January 2010, 1116hrs.
Elva has been putting a very tough front to perform at her year end concert. In fact, her mum was already in a comatosed state six days before the concert. Using webcast, Elva streamed her concert direct to her mum's ward for her to see her performance. Her 7th song in the concert, "I Love You So Much", reminded her of her mum, and she wept when she thought of her.
Elva specially dedicated her encore song, "Most Familiar Stranger", to her mum: "This is for my mum. I feel that she's always by my side."
After the celebration dinner for her concert at 4 a.m., Elva rushed to the hospital to sing ""I love You So Much" to her mum, and stayed till 8 a.m. before leaving for home to wash up. She had asked her mum to wait for her to return and dance for her. However, before she could perform for her mum, she has already passed away.
Editor: We would like to send our condolences to Elva that we will be always by her side, and we wish that she could pull herself together in this difficult time.

Taiwanese singer Elva Hsiao's mother passed away on New Year's Day, and a grief-stricken Elva has found it almost impossible to deal with the situation. She was still unable to sleep after crying for 44 hours, and had to resort to taking sleeping pills in order to get some needed sleep. She will not contact her father in compliance with her mother's wishes.
Elva and her younger brother have been busy organizing her mother's funeral and says she cannot face the media at the moment due to her tumulous emotions; as a result, some of her new years events may be cancelled. Elva and her brother will inherit their mother's fortune, approximated near 10 million TWD, or 25 million HKD, which includes the late Mrs. Hsiao's marriage gift for her daughter, a huge mansion.
Having lost a parent (father) himself, Show Luo understands Elva's emotions and has been texting her since the incident, hoping that she will grow stronger. Jolin Tsai has also contacted Elva's manager to express her condolences.
Blog: A Belated Thank You
I’m fine, still hanging on. My emotions have been going through a roller coaster ride. I think I’m still a kid, waiting to be cared by my mum…
Losing the wings of my mum, I began to fly on my own. I promised my mum that I would fly higher and further than her. Although my heart still hurts, it’s slowly healing, thanks to my co-workers, my brother and my friends. As mum has said: “The elder sister should always behave like the mother of the house, so I must recover much faster.”
After the memorial, besides running some errands, I’m beginning to live normally by meeting up with friends. Everyone is trying hard to cheer me up, making me laugh and joke around.
However, my emotions would quickly cool down, and I wished that time could make me forget everything and get use to what has happened. A month has passed, whenever I see my handphone and the number which could no longer be dialed…
Actually, I wanted to thank everyone who had given me their support. I’m so sorry I couldn’t do so earlier because I was too caught up with grief! My friends really love me, and it reminded me that I’m very blessed. I’m very touched and I will treasure your love. I wish to do more for all of you, to let you know my gratitude. But I really miss my mum, the world best mum.
Lastly, I still have to thank all of you. Your smile warms my heart, Although I have lost my feelings for a while, I still love to see you and hear you.
At the Macau concert on 23/1, please sing along with me and give me your greatest support. I will recover to be your iron Elva on that day. I’ll be back.

Gold Typhoon held its annual Dinner and Dance in Taipei’s New York New York on Friday (05/02/2010) to celebrate the success of the record company over the past year. Many of the label’s artistes attended the dinner, including Elva Hsiao, A-Mei and Lollipop.
To thank her co-workers for the hard work that they had put in, Elva distributed NT200k worth of red packets and forked out NT300k to subsidise a getaway trip for her co-workers. A-mei also expressed her gratitude by giving out NT400k to her co-workers as bonus.
Seeing how generous A-mei and Elva were, Lollipop said: “As 1st-time host for the dinner and dance, we are definitely nervous, but we will put up a good show. Next year, we will give out money instead, and we will not lose out to Elva and A-mei.”
Elva Meets Her Idol
Elva attended the “Superstar Competition”, where artists like Angela Zhang and Show Luo were split into two teams to battle it out, ala NHK’s annual Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2667/42144142.jpg)
Elva performed her hit number “Confession” and when she saw her idol, Nicky Wu, off stage, she was a little embarrassed: “He is my super idol, I love him out of the three in the Little Tigers.”

Impersonator Sends Declaration of War - Xiao Zhu Elva Laughs in Explosion
(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5685/54210042278652.jpg)
Show Luo, Elva Hsiao, Rainie Yang and others from the same management company yesterday evening had a year end party, #1 sis and bro generously prepared money to reward coworkers, Xiao Zhu and Elva were nearly breathless from laughter of their other half impersonators.
All though they already had a generous year end party at the music management company, Xiao Zhu and Elva are the new management company’s post boards and money making tree, the year end can’t be stingy. The two agreed, each taking out $250,000; to not engage in vicious competition and grab the title of the red envelope, adding Rainie Yang, Wong Jing Lun the total was $1 million Yuan to the red envelope for the ones that are waiting to win.
But its not easy for the coworker to win this red envelope, must pull out all tricks to perform. One of them, a female staff dressed up as Xiao Zhu in “Hai Pai Tian Xin” as “Da Lang”, but this impersonator version became a “Treader” instead (The sounds are the same in Chinese for達浪 and踏浪), and Xiao Zhu’s cousin Ah Chong reversed became Elva, changing the name “A Lu Ba”. With the heavy make up and weird gestures, the pair coming out made them laugh until their stomach hurt, the 2 even gave a letter of war, wanting both the real and fake dancing king and queen to PK, they couldn’t help laughing, almost not able to continue the competition.
Actually Elva was mood was down the night before, because she’s preparing for Hsiao Ma Ma’s 6 7 days, wearing full black to the year end, but with Xiao Zhu on her side constantly teasing and making jokes, her mood was perked up. This Chinese New Years, will be the first year for Elva and her brother to not have her mother, she as usual traditionally goes to her grandmother’s home for the festival, since her mother’s death to date they have not told their grandmother, when the time comes they’ll have say “mother’s on a business trip” reason to continue to hide the truth, in accordance to the decision of their uncle.

Elva and Show to Star in New Drama?
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/t/jphip00491.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00491.jpg)
Taiwanese producer Cai Zhi Ping has set her eyes on pairing Elva and Show Luo for her latest drama. If this true, it would not be the first time that the duo have collaborated. They have sang "Defeated by You" and "WOW" in their previous albums.
Elva seems surprised when she tweeted :"Which news states that I'm acting with Show?"
Elva as Special Guest for Show Luo's Concert
Riding on the huge success of his latest album - Rashomon, which has topped Taiwan's G-music chart for a record 10 weeks, Show Luo will kick off his 3D Show World Live Tour in Hong Kong and Taipei from 30 April 2010. Elva appears on the list of special guests, which includes Rainie Yang and Sammi Cheng. Show will be paying tribute to the dancing divas in the Chinese pop music scene, performing Jolin's "72 Changes" as well as Elva's "Shining Love".
Elva Takes on Body Odour
(http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/t/jphip00492.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/ladies/jphip00492.jpg)
Elva renewed her endorsement deal with Rexona, promoting the brand's antiperspirant on 16 April. To clear the perception that such products are only for those with body odour, Elva explained that the product, like any other kind of lotion, can be used by anyone daily. "I would apply it after a shower. It's even more important than my fake eyelashes!" she joked, adding that it would be very uncomfortable to perspire in this hot weather, so she would use it after her morning shower to keep her body dry and fresh.
Elva recalled an embarrassing moment when she had to hold her breath as one of her dancers had body odour. She also felt lucky that she has not had any boyfriend with such a problem. "The guys that I meet usually would wear a cologne."
This coming Mother's Day would be the first one since her mum passed away on New Year's Day. She has arranged for a dinner with her brother and grandma, "I would never tell my grandma that my mum has left us," she said. Everytime my grandma asks about her, I would say she's away on a trip.
Few days ago, I attended an award ceremony at Beijing.
While waiting,
I took on Edward Scissorhands with my makeup artist.
Interesting??
It made everyone laughed~~ Haha
Don't I look like a model waiting backstage at a fashion show?
My Elva babes,
Even without twitter, there's still ilovesuper!
If necessary, I would drop a few messages.
Why don't we suggest to have a new instant messaging programme? Haha
You guys can tell me the reasons why you love me ya?
Stop hiding! One love from each person! I need your love..!
You guys are my oxygen...

Less is more. Because words cannot fully express their feelings and desires.
When it is time to leave everything behind, what do you really want?
It's love, care, sunshine, air, flowers, water and food, the basic necessities.
Let's say, if your sibling said "Sis, I have not eaten rice for a long time, could you help me pack lunch please?"
I think you would, at that time, start to tear, and would fill up his fridge unconditionally.
People who are dependent on the weather for a living. They are not lazy or greedy; it's just that rain has not fall upon them for the longest time.
Crops are withering, animals are dying. Their family members becoming thinner by the day.

Thanks for all the well wishes! I have received all of them!
Recently the staff from World Vision told me that the Pakistan flood is worsening.
The flood is Pakistan's most severe one in 80 years.
When I heard from World Vision that to date more than 50m people have lost their homes, I was really affected.
I had witnessed the effects of the global environmental changes in Kenya, and now in Pakistan.
I hope everyone would pass on the message, to share the love with them.
Let us hope that the Pakistani could sleep in peace.

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.
(http://img128.imagevenue.com/loc363/th_45058_10_122_363lo.jpg) (http://img128.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45058_10_122_363lo.jpg)(http://img173.imagevenue.com/loc367/th_45059_12_122_367lo.jpg) (http://img173.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45059_12_122_367lo.jpg)(http://img276.imagevenue.com/loc517/th_45059_13_122_517lo.jpg) (http://img276.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45059_13_122_517lo.jpg)
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.
(http://img7.imagevenue.com/loc77/th_45055_7_122_77lo.jpg) (http://img7.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45055_7_122_77lo.jpg)(http://img177.imagevenue.com/loc429/th_45055_8_122_429lo.jpg) (http://img177.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45055_8_122_429lo.jpg)(http://img264.imagevenue.com/loc453/th_45056_9_122_453lo.jpg) (http://img264.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45056_9_122_453lo.jpg)
"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.
(http://img243.imagevenue.com/loc487/th_45052_4_122_487lo.jpg) (http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45052_4_122_487lo.jpg)(http://img132.imagevenue.com/loc394/th_45053_5_122_394lo.jpg) (http://img132.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45053_5_122_394lo.jpg)(http://img107.imagevenue.com/loc114/th_45054_6_122_114lo.jpg) (http://img107.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45054_6_122_114lo.jpg)
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."

There were two version of the music video, the "Ice Breaker" version and the "Rainbow" version, released on 12 and 14 Oct respectively on Channel V and MTV channel.

Backstage, Elva had the opportunity to meet with Korean pop group, 2PM. She also met A-Mei, and was extremely envious when she saw how thin A-Mei was. Although A-Mei commented that Elva was thin too, Elva felt a little guilty as she had just ate roast duck during her promotional trip in China.

Marching into her 11th year in Mando-pop, Elva Hsiao presents her 11th album Miss Elva in 2010! The record company reportedly splashed lots of money on the album's visual aspect to create 11 new looks for the Taiwan diva, including the fan-favorite androgynous style. The album also has numerous surprises music-wise, with Elva being particularly creative as she has written five songs and produced three. Continuing the style of the hit song "Sparklingly Lovely" from the previous album Diamond Candy, the titular first plug "Miss Elva" marks the first time Elva collaborated with Golden Melody Award-winning composer Showan and lyricist David Ke. The electronic dance anthem also impresses with some "cooler than 3D" visual effects in its costly music video.
The Commemorate Edition comes with a bonus DVD containing 7 music videos and a Hot Pink wristband designed by Elva.
I'm Ready took the Taiwan pop diva almost a year to record, and it's backed by a band of top producers and songwriters including Yao Chien, Chen Wei, Adia, Daryl Yao, and JJ Lin, while Elva herself also contributed to the production. Beginning with the titular electronic dance number "I Love Me", Elva's new album features 10 songs of varying styles, including the JJ-penned poignant ballad "Coming on Strong", the sweet lead single "Love Doesn't Leave the Hand", and the retro-flavored "I Have Had Enough".

On December 31st 2009, Elva Hsiao held her first solo concert at the Taipei Arena to kick-start her WOW world tour. The Taiwan pop diva performed 33 songs from her repertoire, including the major tracks from her then latest album Diamond Candy that revived her popularity. It has taken more than two and a half years, and a budget of NTD20 million, to make the concert available on DVD, which was given a world-class post-production to ensure the best possible picture and sound quality. Dedicated to Elva's late mother, who passed away the day after the concert which she was unable to attend due to her terminal illness, this Live DVD represents a crucial moment in Elva's life and career.
Limited to 10,000 sets only, the [WOW3] Live DVD comes in a Vinyl LP-style packaging (30cm x 30cm) with a 32-page concert photo album and W-shaped speakers.
