East Asia upset with JSG's results, Miriam Yeung refuses to do TVB interview

It was understood that TVB was fortunate to have East Asia and EEG's support in their 'JSG Best Ten Music Awards Presentation 2010' after being in a dispute with Big 4. East Asia even paid for Japanese group EXILE to be the guest performers. Even Amusic's person in charge Leon Lai and 'Jade Girl Leader' Vivian Chow came out to support TVB. But what were the results, Miriam Yeung and BIG FOUR still lost out on the major awards, Denise Ho got nothing and only the heavily supported Janice Vidal and JW got 'Gold Song Gold Award'.

According to news, East Asia took out their heart and money to help TVB, but is furious with the results. Besides Andy Hui who was absent from celebration and didn't give any face, every year the 'Most Popular Male/Female' and 'Asia-Pacific Most Popular Male/Female' award winners will do exclusive interviews with TVB. However, last night Miriam broke the tradition and refused to do the interview. She is clearly protesting through actions. Yesterday [Oriental Daily] called East Asia's Director (Chan Chi Kwong) to get an understanding. He said: "Because our company helped host a goodbye feast for EXILE, Miriam was in a rush and couldn't do TVB Weekly's interview. It can be made up later. For Denise, she met up with Johnny To for dinner, BIG FOUR wasn't together, we understand there's no award for no attendance."

First time getting 'Asia-Pacific Most Popular Female Singer', Miriam laughed: "Tonight there are so many first times. I'm graduating from TVB and can get off work. I am personally quite pleased."

On EEG's side, it was understood that EEG wanted Twins to get the group and duet awards, and supported Gillian Chung for 'Outstanding Performance Award', Sherman Chung for 'Singer-Songwriter' and Vincy for 'Song Adaptation' award. However because EEG will end up getting too many awards, TVB couldn't split it up and had to sacrifice them. Towards this Ng Yue said: "We have lots of confidence for Twins, so that's why we told Ah Gil to come back. However, we do understand that TVB needs to balance, can't give them all to you."
