特別表演嘉賓- 胡渭康 Evergreen記者會

「打響十人營之金音終極戰」，滙聚温哥華的金質靚聲，十位參賽者由30到70歲，語言、曲目風格各異，百花齊放，蓄勢待發迎戰4月13日的總決賽，純以美嗓一決高下。金曲擂台鬥，大會特別邀請長春歌手胡渭康擔任特別表演嘉賓及評判。踏入樂壇已有30年的胡渭康，十五歲參加第一屆香港新秀大賽入行，六呎二的俊朗外型加上青春無敵，甫出道已備受力捧，更憑組合「小虎隊」紅遍中港台，風頭一時無兩。他是香港電視史上第一代MTV節目“停不了的音樂”及“新地任你點”的主持人，亦參與電視劇及電影演出，歌影視三棲。30歲那年，胡渭康毅然放棄幕前一切，遠赴英國沉澱生活重新出發。直至 2007年，闊別娛樂圈幾近十年的胡渭康，為要照顧年邁雙親，決定再次回流返港，並致力投入慈善服務，於2007年至2010年，連續四年擔任明愛關愛行動關愛大使及復康大使。心善則美，遠離鎂光燈下的胡渭康帥氣依然。2012年，胡渭康於香港舉行演唱會，同期更推出全新大碟，翻唱女歌手的金曲，口碑不俗，其後出版的唱片專輯，主打歌《頑童》是特别獻給患有腦退化的雙親，喻意父母患病後返老還童的寫照。

氣宇軒昂的胡渭康現身記者會，即向温哥華的粉絲問好，惹來全場歡呼起哄，他與記者會司儀阿愷(陳敏愷)談笑風生，他剛在香港拍畢TVB新劇《牛頭愛搭馬咀》，即趕赴温哥華，他表示非常期待首次於温哥華的演出，已預備新舊好歌以饗歌迷。對廚藝素有研究的他，亦會順道尋訪本地美食，兼一賞櫻花，想不到這裏的櫻花如此壯觀豔麗，笑謂以為自己身處京都呢!歌藝以外，大家都很想知道胡渭康如何keep住長青不老，William說方法很簡單，睡眠充足、清淡飲食、常規運動等，其實多行善，人自然靚。

身為新秀元老及總決賽評判，胡渭康即場向「金音十強」面授台上演出的貼士，最重要用平常心發揮自我，大派定心丸為他們打氣。最後新時代傳媒集團副總裁唐東萊及一眾「金音十強」送上别具心思的生日蛋糕予胡渭康，補祝他前一天 (4月11日) 的生辰，他驚喜之餘亦覺窩心，身在他鄉都滿載祝福。

胡渭康將再度登場，躍上River Rock Show Theatre 的 舞台 ，為大家送上重新演繹的經典金曲，一同回味美好的那些年。「打響十人營之金音終極戰」4月13日9時05分新時代電視全程轉播。

Super Ten 2014 Golden Voice Challenge
Special Guest Performer – William Hu Evergreen Press Conference

Super Ten 2014 Golden Voice Challenge brings together the best voices in Vancouver. Aged from 30-70, the contestants perform with unique personalities, a variety of languages and genres. For the past month and a half, they have been working hard to prepare for the final challenge, taking place on April 13th. Fairchild TV has the honor to invite evergreen artiste William Hu from Hong Kong as the special guest performer and judge for this exciting battle. William started his career at the age of 15 as a finalist at the first Hong Kong New Talent Singing Awards 30 years ago. Standing at 6’2”, handsome and charismatic William has always been tremendously supported by fans in Hong Kong, especially during the days as a member of Little Tiger Group. He was one of the first hosts of Hong Kong MTV program ‘Can’t Stop the Music’ and ‘Sunday Song Request’ while acting in television dramas and movies. When William was 30 years old, he left behind all that had been achieved in the entertainment industry to start a new life in England. In 2007, William, who had been away for nearly 10 years, decided to return to Hong Kong to care for his aging parents. Since then, William has actively engaged himself in charity works and was appointed as the ambassador for Caritas Hong Kong from year 2007-2010. In 2012 William held a concert in Hong Kong and released an album in which he covered golden oldies from popular female singers, followed by another album, the title song of which ‘Playful Child’ was dedicated to his parents who acted like playful children because of dementia.

When William entered onto the press conference stage, he was welcome by passionate cheers and applause. He told MC Mandy Chan that he rushed to Vancouver after recently wrapping up a TVB drama as Officer Geomancer. Even so, he expressed his excitement for his first time performance in Vancouver and invited fans to look forward to enjoying both new songs and golden oldies on Sunday. William has always been enthusiastic about cooking, thus is anticipating trying out the gourmet cuisine in Vancouver. He was so amazed by the beautiful cherry blossoms blooming everywhere throughout the city that he joked if he had landed in Kyoto by mistake. Aside from his singing talent, everyone was interested in knowing the secret behind William’s never aging appearance. The secret is simple according to William: get plenty of sleep, stick with a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and keep a charitable mindset.

As a veteran of the New Talent Singing Awards and a judge of this year’s Super 10 Contest, William shared some winning tips with the 10 contestants, reminding them to keep calm and give it their personal best. Lastly, Vice President of Fairchild Media Group, Louis Tong and the 10 finalists presented William with a cake as a belated celebration for his birthday the day before when he was still on his way to Vancouver. William was thrilled to receive such a pleasant surprise and felt blessed even though he was so far away from home.

William Hu will bring to fans an exciting performance full of wonderful music in River Rock Show Theatre at Super Ten Final which will be broadcast on Fairchild Television on April 13th at 9:05pm.

Super 10 Golden Voice Final Challenge

Golden Voices Move the City

In previous Super 10 Contests, a variety of talented MCs and artistes were discovered. Last year’s competition disregarded all borders between age, language, ethnicity and song, hence was met with overwhelming responses from audiences who were especially impressed by the ‘Golden Voice Group’. The contestants in this group were born before the year 1980, ranging from age 30-70 with a variety of backgrounds. But when it came to singing, each contestant worked their hardest to show off themselves through their songs each with a unique taste and personality. In addition, special guest performer Mimi Chu was the highlight with her sweet voice and professional judging making last year’s Super 10 Contest the talk of the town.

Everybody Has a Dream

During the process of the competition, members of the Golden Voice group were able to step out of banal everyday routines and chase their dreams, not something that everyone has the courage to do. They were not only able to do just that, but they were also given the chance to assure themselves of their amazing talents, endorsing the fact that everyone has a dream which can be realized.
