TVB and HKRIA's copyright disputes still have not been settled yet, last night the singers under the Big 4 record companies all ate the "white fruit" together at the "JSG Best Ten Music Awards 2009". EEG was the big winner of the night getting 19 awards total, while TVB "biological son" Raymond Lam leaped becoming the new "Asia-Pacific Most Popular HK Male Singer", which was the most controversial scene. When he accepted the award, boos were heard among the audience. It was said that other record companies who won less awards were dissatisfied with result. But, Raymond said that at the time he was so shocked that he couldn't hear the boos. Having the self-confidence, large number of fans, he is qualified for the award. TVB Executive expressed in support that all the winners deserved their awards.
Even before the award ceremony, TVB announced that even if the Big 4 singers do not attend the ceremony, if they receive an award it will still be presented to them, however that was not true in reality. TVB senior manager of arts and music (Chan Ka Yeung) insisted that the Big 4 singers did not have any awards and that the results had nothing to do with their absence! (Does Eason Chan not deserve an award?) He said: "The votes were like that, so no award! (How are the votes counted?) The results are based on the viewers, general assembly's review and the music department." Towards the rumors that the other record companies with less awards were in dissatisfaction of the results and that the "Asia-Pacific Male Singer" award should have gone to Hacken Lee? Mr. Chan denied: "Dissatisfaction? Which record company? And how did this rumor start!"
Raymond admitting that winning the "Asia-Pacific" award was a surprise and that singers under Big 4 absent from the ceremony probably had an impact on the results; However, he personally has been working really hard every year. (Does Raymond feel that he got the award too early?) He said that he has set a good foundation in the last 11 years, he has lots of fans both in and outside of HK, it just that he was focused more on TV series and just recently started singing. (Is he afraid to be criticize that TVB is biased towards him?) He said he never thought about it, winning an award proves that he doesn't just know how to act. (Did he hear the boos when he accepted the award?) He expressed that he didn't hear them, at that moment he felt numb on stage and had no response, he only heard that there were sounds everywhere, but definitely not boos.
