Alan Tam: Let GEM Tang grow and learn!
21 Nov – Hong Kong singer Alan Tam urges the media to give GEM Tang a chance to improve her interpersonal communication.
As reported on Mingpao News, the singer, who attended a press conference for the upcoming 37th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs on 20 November, made such statement in reference to the controversy surrounding GEM Tang's supposed diva behaviour recently.
Previously, the songstress was accused of being an arrogant diva, not only for her expensive concert tickets that surpass even the likes of senior singers such as Miriam Yeung and Sammi Cheng, but for the attitude of her manager, who threatened to cancel her interview with the media at her recent press conference announcing her upcoming concert.
"It's just a misunderstanding," said Alan. "She is a very good singer, but she still has a long way to go in regard to her social skills."
"She is learning slowly. Give her the opportunity to grow and learn," he added. The singer also gave his two cents about the issue, saying that her management should also learn to be flexible, as she is a public figure who lives in the public eye.
"There are different approaches for different occasions," said Alan, adding that artistes should learn how to face the media and public.
This isn't the first time GEM was criticised for being arrogant. Last year, veteran singer Jenny Tseng slammed the singer for ignoring her at a public event.
