Taiwan’s “Golden Melody Awards 2009” – Jacky’s live performance of 吻別

Just found this when I was watching some clips on YT and absolutely love it! I knew that Jacky attended the “Golden Melody Awards’ ceremony last year because I saw the clips of him presenting the Best Album award to Eason Chan. However, I didn’t know about this particular segment of the show though – since this was the award show’s 20th anniversary, they had a special segment where they chose the song that everyone loves the most from the 1st to the 9th award ceremony (第一至第九屆金曲獎我的最愛歌曲). Of course, Jacky’s classic “Goodbye Kiss” (吻別) won first place (for Mandarin-language song) along with Taiwanese singing sensation Jody Jiang Hui's “家後” (for Taiwanese-language song). Jacky got to perform the song live during that segment.

I absolutely love this clip! Though this song is more than 17 years old, it was such a huge hit that even now, it sounds just as good. And I must praise Jacky’s singing skills once again, as his performance was AWESOME!!! I mean, his rendition of the song so many years later sounds even better (if that’s even possible) than back when the song was released back in the early 90s – he sings it with such exquisiteness and grace that one can’t help but be mesmerized by his performance. As 陶子 kept mentioning during the introduction to the segment, Jacky is indeed the GOD OF SONG!!!!

The other thing that makes this performance so "special" is the fact that Jacky hasn't performed at a Golden Melody award show in a long time -- basically since the late 90s (though he has attended a few times after that as a presenter)...so the audiences definitely got a special treat (I would have LOVED to be in THAT audience)!!

Oh, and Jacky looked SOOOOO HANDSOME in this clip – it’s basically his “Private Corner” look (the glasses give him that “mature fatherly figure” look). I actually love this look on him because it fits him so well – it’s definitely my all time favorite Jacky “look.”

Anyway, enough said – hope you enjoy this clip as much as I did!
