NEW SONG TEARLESS SKY REJECTED BY 988 FM  JESSIE CHUNG DISCRIMINARED BY MALAYSIAN MEDIA

Regarding Jessie Chung’s Tearless Sky press conference earlier in Taiwan, Jessie recalled an unintentional slip-of-the-tongue – Jessie said her special gender identity is often discriminated in a rather customarily conservative Malaysia -- had drawn unfavorable response from Malaysian media, most notably from 988 FM.

When asked on the reason Jessie’s hit singles are still not played on 988 FM’s airplays, Symphony Musical House General Manager Shireen Woon responded aptly to clear off the air of misunderstanding which might have emerged in some unavoidable experience with the program directors of 988 FM. Shireen clarified that 988 FM are not satisfied with Jessie’s new songs, seeing her as still under-the-fame singer in the music industry and that free airplay was not possible for new singers. In addition, 988 FM have never accepted to air any of Jessie’s songs and also many times rejected her on their radio show; given Jessie’s image is not appropriate to their standard as a nay-say. Nevertheless, Shireen was instead offered to buy commercial slots from 988 FM if promoting Jessie’s new songs on airplay. Later Jessie explained that she might have inadvertently made certain comments or actions in the past which might have caused upsetting tension between two sides and apologized if any as such.

Jessie Remained Positive Albeit Rejection by 988 FM And Still Hope for A Chance

Jessie is still keeping the light of hope that her hit single Tearless Sky would be given a fair chance on 988 FM because that song is truly written for surviving cancer patients who still are triumphing over their lives; and help them to raise fund for treatment. She had worked much harder in recording Love in You and now Tearless Sky to redeem herself since her Chinese New Year album, seeing that as the root to 988 FM’s dissatisfaction towards her.

One of the reporter asked, “Don’t you worry that 988 FM will spurn you now that you’ve mentioned them?” Jessie replied, “I just hope that they would still give me a chance.”

Jessie also mentioned she is truly grateful to Ai FM for her hit single’s tenancy at the top of the chart for two consecutive weeks.

IT PROVED A TOUGH JOURNEY WORTHWHILE FOR JESSIE TO COMPLETELY SHED OFF CONTINUOS CRITICS

When questioned about why Jessie had chosen Taiwan as her first stop to promote her album instead of her homeland Malaysia, Jessie commented that all promotional events are arranged by her manager, Shireen Woon, and was by no means in negligence to her Malaysian fans, but simply that her previous album Love In You was also first launched in Taiwan then Malaysia and had received generally positive reviews.

In Taiwan’s Tearless Sky press conference, famous variety show’s host Xu Nai Ling attended to show his support for Jessie and also acclaimed TV personality Ken Wu hosted the press conference for Jessie. Taiwan media have given Jessie high appraisal and this has reaffirmed all of her hard works.

In addition, since the launch of Tearless Sky in Taiwan, it had laddered up to the fourth spot on iRadio’s golden hits chart and also secured its top ten’s position on Popradio. Jessie revealed her contentment that this little achievement is the impetus to her motivation.

 Jessie also responded to the fast-selling rate of Tearless Sky in Taiwan, with the initial five thousand copies distributed among Taiwan’s record stores being completely sold out in less than 2 weeks. Even Jessie was jaw-dropped with disbelief when she saw her albums were no longer in shelf-display. Some bloggers were skeptical and cried foul that she could have bought most of her own albums and she also bought her way up the charts. Nevertheless, Jessie gave sincere thanks to all the supports from Taiwan.

Jessie also shared that her heart was deepened when some of the Malaysian netizens and critics have made apologies to her on their previous not-so-friendly comments. She could feel that attitudes and perspectives are slowly changing towards her personality and works; especially since her first album Love In You, her new album Tearless Sky has received wider acceptance from a majority of public.

Jessie Chung in Kangxi Coming literally becomes the show’s “live” background

Jessie was truly honored to become one of the invited guests at the popular Taiwan variety-comedy talk show, Kangxi Coming hosted by Xiao S and Kevin Tsai; and also at Genius Go Go Go hosted by Taiwan’s well-known TV host Xu Nai Ling. Jessie still remembered her trembling moments on these shows. In this episode of Kangxi Coming which drew theme on the favorite vacation spots whom foreigners love to visit in Taiwan, Jessie had literally become the show’s “live” background because during her one-month’s stay in Taiwan, the only places she visited were bookstores and Tamsui District in addition to her busy working schedules: appearing on TV and radio interviews and new album promotion; she was mostly left out on the show; only succeed in a few short scenes as Kevin Tsai asked her some questions to get her out of sticky situation. Nevertheless, Jessie was still thankful that Kevin Tsai promoted her new album during the entire show.

Jessie Chung also mentioned she had turned down Super Lucky as she has never had her life fortune-told before and also to avoid being that show’s “live” background again.

Jessie Chung Regretted Turning Down The Voice of China

Jessie Chung disclosed that The Voice of China had invited her to participate but was refused by her, mainly because the production team wanted her to cover songs sung by Adele, Winnie Hsin, and Chyi Yu. Jessie told humorously, “I most possibly would be kicked out from the stage of The Voice of China before I even get the chance to step my feet on it.” Regretful of doing so, Jessie hoped that there will still be another shot on the show.

Busy schedules ahead with recordings, concerts, shows, movies and drama series

On November 7, Jessie has put together Jessie Chung Love Unity Fundraising Concert at Megastar Arena, Kuchai Lama to help raise fund for Jessie’s Cancer Fund and One Caring Heart Foundation for the same endeavor to alleviate financial burden of cancer patients and orphans.

There are also huge plans in the making in Beijing as Jessie is ready to get wider exposure in a bigger stage. 

Jessie Chung’s new album, ‘Tearless Sky’ well-received

Posted on June 15, 2015, Monday

KUCHING: Kuching-born singer Jessie Chung is back with a new album, ‘Tearless Sky’ which was well-received after its initial launch in Taiwan last month.

The album is the second she has launched in Taiwan and is a big hit compared to the first album in 2012 as she was a new-comer in the industry then.

Jessie said the album received strong support from Taiwan’s acclaimed TV host, Xu Nai Lin. She has also made many appearances in various Taiwanese TV shows such as Kangsi Coming.

Even the show’s host helped to promote the album, highlighting it during the show which was not the norm, Jessie claimed, adding that the host — after listening to the songs — found good vibes behind the songs.

“The new hit single ‘Tearless Sky’ is written in memory of a brain cancer patient who died seven years ago. Within two weeks of the album’s release, ‘Tearless Sky’ and ‘Last Teardrop’ earned fourth spot on I Radio top hits list and stood at sixth place on Pop Radio,” Jessie said in a press conference last Saturday.

Joshua, her hubby gave her full support.

“Every year eight million people die of cancer while another two million die of suicide. My songs aim to give hope to the listeners.”

She said all 10 songs on the album were written by her and that she poured her feelings and story into the songs to give them more meaning for listeners.

She said the new album was primarily inspired by love, family, friendship and hope; she wished to encourage those in need through her music and to bring warmth to everyone.

In promoting her new album, Jessie received invitations to be interviewed on various TV and talk shows.

Jessie also received a lot of feedback from listeners who said her songs inspired them to not give up and also thanked her.

The ‘Tearless Sky’ music video was shot in Malaysia, unlike the previous album which was shot in Taiwan. Footage was shot at a harbour as she (Jessie) likes boats and yachts.

Unlike Malaysia, Jessie was surprised at the Taiwanese trend of fans going out to CD shops and record shops to buy CDs.

For the new album, she also held a mini concert at a hall in Taiwan with a capacity of 150 people.

It was filled with Taiwanese and Malaysian fans.

Jessie’s next live performance will be on Oct 11 at New York Town Hall, which is her first performance in New York, followed by Oct 17 at Megastar Arena Kuala Lumpur, which has a seating capacity of 2,500.Guest artists for the second performance will include Fauziah Latif and Ziana Zain.On her next album, Jessie plans to record it in Malay with the help of a Malay singer.

“Though I am proud to be Malaysian, I dream of coming up with a Malay album but I did not have much chance with the language as I went to a Chinese primary school and a secondary school in Canada. A singer will help to brush up my singing in Malay,” she said.

Meanwhile, a national TV producer from Taiwan has expressed interest to work with Jessie to produce a telemovie about her life.

She will be heading to Taiwan in July to arrange the telemovie shooting.

Another milestone for her is to be picked as an ambassador for organic tea and soap bar.

years at his house in Kuching. Jessie, whom earlier was launching her new album in 

Taiwan, had to put all her works on hold, including her new album’s press 

conference due to be held next week in Kuching, to be present at her father’s 

funeral.

      The late Chung Fook Xiang is a well-known man of stature in Kuching, who has 

dominated the electronics and appliances industry in East Malaysia for over 50 

years.

       When mentioned about her father, Jessie expressed profoundly that he is a good 

father and highly respected by his peers. The year when Jessie had responded to 

her true identity as a female and was in the midst of emigrating, her father 

willfully stated that he will brave it through with her and she was deeply moved. 

Therefore, one of the songs in the album is especially written for her father.

Many of Jessie’s shows nationwide in June and also her own concert in August have 

been rescheduled to another date yet to be announced. Also, many press conferences 

of her album’s launch put together by her record company have been postponed.

Jessie Chung New MV in memorial of young fans died of cancer

Malaysia’s jewel Jessie Chung, shoots music video for her new song Tearless Sky in tearful 

memory of a young fan who passed away of cancer! Malaysia’s singer Jessie Chung launches 

her brand new album; she is currently shooting a music video for her new single, Tearless 

Sky. The lyrics of the song are written by Jessie, to commemorate a young fan of her, Daniel, 

who had passed early due to brain cancer. Jessie reveals that Daniel is the main reason 

behind her pursuit in doctorate of medicine (oncology). The lyrics have long been written, 

and the song was intended just for personal memory. Under the encouragement of her 

husband, the song finally made it into the recording of the album.  Often when this song is 

sung, Jessie would experience emotional breakdown!

Jessie Chung releases her brand new album Tearless Sky. The album’s first single, Tearless 

Sky is written by her, based on a true story, it depicts a young man who suffered from final-

stage brain cancer, who had boldly faced all challenges and overcome impossibilities in life. 

“That young man, Daniel, is my fan. 7 years ago when I was still practicing medicine, his 

mother came to me and pleaded that her beloved son is in the final stage of brain cancer, all 

doctors have given up his treatment. She disclosed to me that her son is also a fan of my 

music. As I felt great sympathy for such a young soul, a 16-year old by then, to leave the 

world so soon; I decided to administer his treatment,” said Jessie.

“As it was already a final-stage cancer, his right arm had lost its motor function and his hair 

was falling away. To spirit him up, I wrote wishing card to him daily, and encouraged him to 

write back to me using his left hand; to make him feel that he was not alone, I’d accompany 

him and learn how to write with our left hands together. We even practiced badminton 

using our left hands. Everything that we did, we did it together, just to encourage him face 

life with a persevering attitude. And so he lived for another 3 years,” disclosed Jessie.

“To understand more about cancer and its treatments, I‘d made decision to pursue 

doctorate in medicine in China, with a hope to extend his life. However, Daniel left us so 

soon on my first year of study. In my deepest sorrow I had thought of giving up, but the 

promise that I made to him had reinforced my commitment!”

“The lyrics of this song are inspired while looking up to the shimmering night sky on my boat. 

I felt like I was looking up and having conversation with him, telling bout the past. It was 

never my intention to bring up this song and include it in my album because I just want to 

keep it in a corner within my heart. But under the support of my husband, I want to sing to 

him who is in heaven now!”

Jessie continued, “I hope to bring out the love of people through the inspiration of the lyrics, 

that everyone can embrace each other in love. Because of love, there will be no more tears 

in the sky!”  She said, “I’m lamented that many people had chosen to end their life 

prematurely in recent news. I hope this is the song that will remind all of us to treasure our 

own life!”

Jessie also admitted, “To recollect the memory and to add meaning into the new music 

video, I had invited Daniel’s younger brother, Issa to join the main cast. I had faced strong 

objection from their family at first; through my determination and persisted will, I finally 

managed to get a nod from his mother.”

“At the actual shooting location, when I saw Daniel’s 16-year old brother Issa, I remembered 

Daniel was also 16 years old when I met him and many a time I couldn’t hold back my 

emotion. I’d intentionally styled Issa to reflect the likeness his brother, with the same wool 

cape worn by Daniel, and the use of left hand. I chose my boat as the shooting location 

because I’d once told Daniel I’ll buy a boat in the future, and I’ve fulfilled the assurance, and 

now I wish to share with him. I believe Daniel will definitely see this music video in heaven!”
