Good for Gigi
|
It is a sultry Sunday night and I had just bought this in HK, so listening it on my BOSE set in the Philippines with a glass of green tea, is especially relaxing and befitting to the mood of most tracks on this CD. There is no really outstanding track, unlike her last big hit (Two Persons' Luck). Like most critics here wrote, the last two albums were quite disappointing. But this pleasant album sees her bouncing back to her ballad-y days. Perhaps it's a renaissance of sorts, esp. since the break-up with Noodle. Tracks 2,3 and 8 are hit material and I hope she will score in the Top Ten Awards at the end of the year. Go - Gigi Girl. |

Well Done Gigi
| Tis is one of her Best Album after the dissapointing 'LOOK'. Tis album is full of suprises esp track 3 BEIJING SUMMER. The Jay Chou compose song Track 2.She sings it in her own style. I would recommend tis Album 2 everyone out there. Worth the $. Keep up the good work. |

just ok
| It's interesting how my review was deleted from the list. The interesting part is how mine was the only one that did not approve of the album. I thought it was just something to listen to. And I still think tht her "chicken voice" in certain songs (not all) were getting old. |

all i can say is i've heard this album numerous of times and still think this is her best.. ive been her fan for five years now and has been always catching up with her latest albums/songs.. this album "Grown Up" has caught my attention and i just wanted to keep on listening to it again and again.. coz i think this album has a very comfortable and easy-to-listen aura.. makes you feel like youre in the music itself. the music is very great, very much catchy and advanced compared to her prev works and her voice.. good one gigi.. you've shown it. i think you've 'grown' totally out of maturity in your voice to the max.. its just wonderful to hear you've made every note seem flawless now after having been hearing you for some while.. i agree. she has the best 'soft voice' in amongst the female singers in HK.. ga yau gigi.. i no doubt can predict this is your year.. keep it up.. always ur fan.. :) |

WOW! i can't believe it..this cd is simply just amazing!! i am so glad gigi went back to her old roots..i have to say her last release of 'look' was quite unsucessful...it's great she went back to what she is good at again..simply slow to medium paced pop ballads!! i am in love with almost all songs in her album..each song had an oustanding breakthrough.. track 1 - mainly has guitar as their music..it's sofly played..so you can really hear gigi's improved vocals...gigi's singing abilities has been improving..and this song clearly delivers her voice..it's a soft medium pace song..gigi brings up her voice and softens it at appropiate parts of the song..i like this song very much track 2 - a lot of string instructments..gives a typical jay style (since this song is composed by him)..i mostly like the 2 verses she sings in this song..cause it's quite strong..i just dun like the chorus part..she uses background vocals (real+fake)..so to me it makes her voice a bit weak..she can't make it strong enough..and the song itself is quite repetitve..a bit boring track 3 - this song again shows gigi's strong vocals..mostly it's only her voice that was delivered..this song is different than her usual slow jams..it's still a slow song..but the musical instructment gives a grand..a summer romantic feeling..kinda like in a fairy tale..it gives me really smooth feeling.. track 4 - a happy song!..suitable for the summer season..it's a bit cutsy in a way..but not too cutsy...it's a good level..and this song had the guitars and drums a bit more louder..so it brings out the happy feel of the song..and this song gigi did use background vocals..but this time..they mix well along w/her main voice..like the ones she used to sing a few years back track 5+6 - a typical slow song..it's quite good cause gigi's vocals are still very clear..i like how she starting to stop using background vocals..it really brings out her voice and let others hear her improvements track 8 - uses a bit of chinese instrucments..and some children singing..bird chirping..like in the country side of china..everything blends quite well together..so it does give a new feeling..and again..gigi's vocals are delivered quite well..and the song itself is quite catchy too..memorable track 10 - nothing to say but fantastic..cause she putting all of her old hits into one song..a song for us..all of the old songs are quite well put..they flow together quite nicely..and this song aren't cut from her old songs and placed them together..i can hear she re-recorded them..so it gives a whole new feeling..bringing out her vocals...and at the end..she sang "love myself" which really brings out a deep message to herself and everyone a wonderful 10/10..keep it up gigi..i know you're a good singer..u just need more work..give your music some more spark..and i know u can reach higher than u've ever reached before |

"Grown Up" shows the growth...

I am SO DELIGHTED that after the mess of "Look" released last year (or at least, I thought it was a mess...I didn't like one thing about that CD/VCD at all...even though I know she was trying something new: why do something new when the old is so ideal...) Gigi has returned to her more signature sounds of well-orchestrated pop ballads. I think her vocals on this release show that she is definitely singing in the correct genre for her, because she simply shines throughout the entire CD of "Grown Up". I love how her voice is so powerful, yet refined and pure at the same time. She has true and rare control over her vocals that some artists can only dream of having. And she knows how to intrepret a song through her comprehension of her own ability as a phenomenal singer. I found this to be an outstanding CD...and very comparable to the beauty and majesty of "Enté-Tain". Certainly, I would recommend "Grown Up" to all pop fans who adore the trademark Gigi Leung style. Track 1 is a lovely and touching Gigi-esque ballad that is my second favorite on the release (there is an MV of this track); Track 2 is a bit on the R&B side in the beginning, but has an intriquing orchestra and stunningly powerful vocals; Track 3 is a moody piano ballad that is both relaxing and mesmerizing (there is an MV of this track); Track 4 is bouncy and fun, mid-tempo and sunny with fresh vocals (there is an MV of this track); Track 5 is an elegant ballad with impressive vocals; Track 6 is a bit "theme park" in sound, but the vocals serve to make it a memorable song and save it from being totally cliché; Track 7 is my absolute favorite on the entire CD and features great guitar with sweet vocals...it's simple and yet perfect; Track 8 has a bit of a too-traditional intro (woodwinds, chimes, birds, water, children...) and even later into the song, the lyrics just can't save this song from being my least favorite on the CD and I usually skip this entirely; Track 9 is standard Gigi with a plain sound on the verses and a magnificently orchestrated refrain (this is my 3rd favorite track on the CD); Track 10 finishes the release with a piano ballad that features serene vocals and a signature smooth sound (there is an MV of this track). As for the MVs themselves, I didn't find the first 3 very impressive (not bad, but rather standard stuff...). However, the 4th MV was creatively done with computer-generated backgrounds that made the MV intoxicating and quite interesting to watch while still keeping the feel of the song in the forefront. |
