Big-name stars, serious musicians and the music glitterati gathered at
Taipei Arena (台北巨蛋) last night to attend the 21st Golden Melody

language music world, the annual event gives out music awards to
professionals making music in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka and Taiwan's
Aboriginal languages.
This year, 124 nominees in a total of 24 categories were drawn from
10,464 entries by a 71-member panel of judges after three rounds of
jury meetings.
A-MEI, A-MIT
A-mei's (張惠妹) new A-Mit (阿密特) persona, A-MIT (阿密特—張惠妹意識
專輯), garnered 10 nominations this year and picked up awards in the
Best Lyricist and Best Composer categories early last night......
